ONE YEAR OF EXTREME DECLUTTERING/ Where my house was then vs now/ House Tour and progress ❤️

- I can not believe it’s been one year since I started decluttering my house. This extreme decluttering journey has been life changing in so many ways.
Not only does my house look better and more peaceful, my mind is more at peace.
This was a years worth of a ton of work!! And staying consistent was the key to making the progress I’ve made. There were weeks here or there where I took breaks from decluttering to spruce up a room I had recently decluttered. However I had my mind so focused on getting the clutter contained and items out of my house that were not serving us.
Through all the weeks and months of decluttering I donated around 80 full garbage bags full of usable items. It felt so good to get it out of my house and give someone an opportunity to use those items.
Some areas still more decluttering but overall I’m incredibly happy with the progress I’ve made. And doing all the decluttering sparked room makeovers in several rooms.
Thanks for being with me on this journey! I appreciate you all 🤗
Decluttering is so hard! Decluttering is si overwhelming! And decluttering is worth it ❤️

First, thank you for allowing us into your home; full transparency. Second, your gratefulness is contagious. You've done an amazing job in your home and the job of a home is never done. Keep posting and motivating!
Thank you so much Aly ❤️
Appreciate you 🤗
So dang happy that I found you when you started this channel. It has been wonderful for me to see you find yourself amongst the clutter. Your honesty is so uplifting. Congratulations 🎉 the house looks great and I'm sure your grandmother is smiling down on you.
Thank you so much JoAnn ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing your journey. I have been a mess for the past 5 years as I got a divorce that I didn't want (broke up in 2017, divorced in 2018) and my getting cancer in 2020. I am slowly getting my life together and today was a GOOD day of decluttering. I'm not there yet but I am on my way. 20 minute tasks DO add up.
This is so inspiring! ❤ You are so right, consistency is the key - slow and steady wins the race. I feel like I missed the excitement when we moved our family of 4 into our home in 2012, because my father passed away during our move. Then my health went sharply downhill, and I ended up having to retire early for medical reasons. "Losing" my career was a big hit for me, as well as being hospitalized so frequently. It feels like several years are a black spot in my memory, and one day I looked around and thought - I really need to work on this house. 10 minutes a day for a few years made a huge difference! Although in the beginning we painted the entire inside, replaced the carpeting, etc., I was never able to fully decorate, or declutter the stuff that just didn't "work" in this home. Plus teenagers and their childhood things not being decluttered, and anything that was acquired for me was just piled in the bedroom. Of course, my health wasn't up for deep cleaning either. What a mess. We also lost my mother, and my father-in-law, which resulted in acquiring some of their belongings. Things needed to find a home. I was able to step it into high gear this past year, yay!!! Deep cleaning and decluttering at a faster pace, with your videos inspiring me! 😀 So thank you for helping me to get this done. Life feels lighter.
Jennifer my goodness you’ve been through a lot! And look at you moving forward and taking your house back 👏👏
I’m so sorry for all your losses and your health! And I’m so happy for you that you are getting things the way you want them now. Big hugs to you 🤗
This is me too, little and often sessions. I'm overwhelmed at the min.
One year went by so fast for me too! Through my grief of losing my husband. One year ago today....l decided to start a massive decluttering too. It’s been so very hard. I’m still at it. Trying not to lose heart. Just FYI, l got high school boys to help me out. They got some community service time and l pay them some cash. Huge help! We’re finishing up the semi trailer today. Plus the storage unit is about half done. 50 years of life. So hard but l made myself be brutal about it. Now they will help me get it to all to the organizations. I had so many good things. I’m going to downsize completely minimizing my life. We were about to finish up our house we built but now l am unable to do that. So l am thinking do l just live with it unfinished or sell. Such a tough decision. So good for you! Boy do l understand the journey. I hope to love my home again. I had 5 grandkids and now they’re grown and left with so much stuff to downsize. I’m going to dedicate one bedroom to my crafting area. Which was my husbands office. That’s hard but in time l think it will work. Your home is lovely ❤👍🏼👏🏼TFS l needed the encouragement especially today.
Blessing to you on your journey ♥
I just wanted you to know I read your story and am amazed at your strength!! I can’t even imagine what you have gone through and the decisions you have to make with your house…
I really wanted you to know I have said a prayer for you!!!
I’m praying this year is a little easier. It’s not something you “get over “ more like losing a part of yourself (like a limb)….it’s very hard adjustment but with time , moving forward and God life becomes easier and can be joyful…
Blessings
Very good road you're on. Creative bereavement pleases our guardian angels. Not only you move and work thru all emotions downsizing home, touching all these objects. But now you know you have to take that great leap forward one box at a time. One room whenever possible. It makes it visible. Help is terrific, bravo for surrounding urself and finding those hands. Great your first goal is craftstime for yourself. You will maybe from there go to gift crafts to community work schemes, family gifts, your interior or even teach others your skills or go on to courses to learn new things, get into touch with new people.
You are very brave, the bumpy road is there to gift yourself with a serene heaven called home sweet home.
Thank you all 🙏
So incredible Jodi! Every room has had such a huge transformation. Thanks for letting us watch your journey 🎉
Thank you Laura 🤗🤗
I appreciate you being here ❤️
What moves me the most from the look back is the sense of items of great sentimental value being given their place, being cared for and showcased. It reminds me of one of my favourite childhood books -The Secret Garden - where the children push back the grass and weeds from around sprouting flowers to give them space to find their light in the sun. I think that's what decluttering does - while I love the cleaning up and order that comes from the act - it's the chance to decide what is important for you - that is the most valuable gift from the process. I felt that most in your dining room - because it was a storage room before and now with your beautiful pieces of furniture unearthed and your family photos (yes you grandmother does look like Barbara Stiesand!) the room feels purposeful and put together with care and love 😊
Happy 12th 🥳Birth🌹Day 🎂Donna 🍨Jean! When I subscribed to your channel I viewed all your old videos. I understood what you was saying of each room. Love your videos but most of all I LOVE that you are REAL 💯,you don't stage. I like that you make it clear when talking about....."This is my personal preference". Your making it clear this is my home and this is what I choose. Keep them coming Jodi.❤Happy 1year anniversary! You've come a long way. Friendly Suggestion: In the back basement where its getting cluttered again..... Use the small night stand on top of one another for organizing. Use the bookshelf for organizing as furniture in the basement against the wall. Love ya!
Thank you Jodi for starting this channel and bringing us along on this journey. What an adventure this has been. And you are so right about just taking the first step and going for it. Especially in little chunks of time. It truly does make a difference. Your home shines just like you do!!! You are such a bright ray of sunshine in this world. ✨️
Oh Alice thank you so much!! Your kinds words went to straight to my heart ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jodi for giving me hope. Our house is so cluttered that we haven’t been able to entertain our family for several years. Our grandkids use to be here all the time, they were here in my daycare, and several of them lived with us, and two still do (we adopted three of our 12 grandkids in 2014). I’m just beginning to feel well enough to tackle getting rid of the clutter, after having Covid twice. My goal is to get the first floor done by Thanksgiving, and the upstairs bedrooms done by Christmas. I have started a ’no spend’ October, so I won’t add anything else to the house until we purge the clutter. Getting so much free items couponing (I’ve been using coupons for well over 40 years) my stockpile is a mess. I have begun listing it on Facebook marketplace as well as making donations to several different organizations, which makes me feel very good. Jodi you are such a blessing to so many people, and I just wanted to say thank you for being so transparent with us! You are helping so many people!
My situation is very similar & Jodi has given me such motivation tonite... I'm starting my new decluttered life tomorrow!! Her final words in this video are what really moved me. Good luck to you, too 👍🏼😊.
Oh Donna! I had no idea you were struggling with clutter. I know the burden it brings. It sounds like you have an awesome plan and goals set in place. No spend October is a great idea. Im rooting for you and cheering you on friend 👏👏👏
Feel free to message me if you need anything. Im here for you 🤗
It’s been an amazing transformation Jodi! All your hard work and inspiration….your grandmother would be so proud of you!❤️

From couponing to decluttering to watching you glow over your grand babies now hearing the excitement in your voice for all your hard work congratulations for this year long journey Jodi God bless 💕
💕💕💕So proud of you, looking better & inspiring
Wow I watch all your videos on this channel and I think this is my favorite. The things you say especially towards the end about the holidays and being tired of not loving the way the house was and saying to yourself I can do this and then actually doing it is amazing. You truly did the most amazing job especially with the furniture and paint and carpet and the cleaning things like windows too. I was always so amazed how you’d say the painters coming the all the sudden you had the whole room decluttered with the snap of a finger. Well you made it seem that way because you actually got through it by the end of the video. I love that even with furniture in the bedrooms not being 100% matchy matchy how pretty they all came out. I think I prefer the contrast of the not matchy matchy furniture. I am so happy you love your house and bedroom even more now because you deserve it and worked very hard towards it! I love your little Donna Jean and your cute little interactions with the British accents. So cute. Happy birthday sweet one. Also I love that they all have nice pretty clean dedicated rooms and decorated rooms and I love the grandkids room. Even if the girls sleep together still its so nice to have their own spaces and retreats. The way you made your house look and feel now will inspire so much pride in your girls and I know they feel even more loved and special that you put the effort into the coziness of the home. I cant wait for the next video!!!! OMG
Jodi, YOU DID IT!! SO PROUD OF YOU! Love you, love your channel! Here’s to the next year!😉
Gives me hope! Blessed and safe days!
Thank you Alice ❤️
Congratulations 🎉, on your anniversary Jodi!!! You have decluttered your life. You are the only one who will appreciate this, I have three credit cards left to pay off and I closed five others. What a ride, watching you doing the challenges helped me so much. Thank you!
Oh Sheree I am sooooo sooooo proud of you and soooooo excited for you!! Well done my friend 👏👏👏 you have made great progress ❤️❤️

We moved into our house when it was brand new 20 years ago this month. My husband built a lot of it and it is 5 bedroom and 3 bath. Problem is that we still don't have doors on the bathroom cabinets and part of a build in in our master bedroom. We had 3 more kid in the first 5 years we lived here and life just happened. Even with all that was not finished I adored my new house. Just in the last couple years I have started to be unhappy with it. It needs new paint and floors now. I have started like you to declutter. I know that the clutter has to go first. My husband is a bit of a hoarder and I know that will be a challenge but I am just going to focus on my stuff and the kids stuff first and go from there. Thanks for showing me what can happen over time! We just paid the house off this summer and so we have started saving what used to go for house payment for taxes and house stuff. We used to use our income tax refund for the house taxes and so that will be a chunk that we can now use for house also. So, I think we will see some changes soon! 15 minutes a day have been making a difference already!
You have done such a good job making your house a home. You should feel proud. Such an inspiration. Your consistency was key. Keep up the good work. So many benefits like having more special memories with family gatherings and sweet grand babies.
You’ve truly come a long way!! WTG!
Such a huge amount of progress in just a year Jodi! Absolutely beautiful, and I'm looking forward to watching the second layer come off as you continue working on spaces!
Totally agree with Aly, Jodi you laughter is contagious ❤️ 😄
Happy Birthday! Donna Jean! Have fun crafting!
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing your home and the progress you have made. I agree with you. You live in your home, there are going to be messes. Just thank you, thank you, thank you for being real. Keep it up lady, you inspired me to do my best for my home. Hugs to you!!!!
Thank you for taking us along this journey. I am decluttering while watching this. Yes my home has turned into a house I dont want to live in. Depressing absolutely! I have started and stopped so many times but I keep trying. I have cleaned out some cabinets and bought some things to help keep them organized. Definitely work in progress
I just found your channel and am so glad I did! I have had losses in my life, grandmother, a good friend/mom like figure/. Dad, and now my mom last month. I’ve been so depressed, and I’ve been trying to declutter, but my heart is not in it. So I get it! You have done amazing work on your house and I’m sure your grandmother is smiling down at you! You have encouraged me to start small. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!
Love the video!! You’ve worked so hard! Can’t wait for more❤😊
You can be so proud of yourself. You house now looks nice, cozy, calm and inviting. What a great job !
Great job and perseverance!!! You should be proud of yourself and your house.
Happy happy Birthday Donna Jean! I hope you have the best year ever!
I can't believe it's been a year. You should feel tons of pride for your house cause you did an amazing job. Always great watching you.
Happy Birthday sweet Donna Jean!🥳🥳
Yay Jodi!! You done it! Big congratulations to you!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have no idea how many lives you have impacted! It all looks so great but my favorite is the dining room! And strangely that hallway was a major transformation from dark to light and looks so nice with the bright bedrooms behind it! I've loved it all! Can't wait to see what you do next! ❤️❤️❤️
Ur house is beautiful and thank u for giving us encouragement this past year and for taken us along with u. U are amazing women and deserve the best ❤
It made me so happy to hear your happiness.
Jodi, I love what you have done with your home. My favorite room is your dining room, but they are all very nice. You have reason to be proud because you didn`t take a defeatist attitude and you got it done. It was a lot of work , with a positive outcome, not only for you and your family but for the Goodwill recipients.I also enjoyed your yard makeover.😊👍
That was an amazing transformation!!! It’s beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your home with me. Happy Birthday to your daughter. Jody I'm so grateful to you for everything you do. God continue to bless and keep you.

I am so proud of you. GREAT JOB. I am where you were a year ago. I feel like I go in circles and get no where which then brings discouragement. You give me hope. One day at a time. One room at a time. Thank you again
This is an outstanding video. I liked that you said to use small chunks of time. It does work and saves getting overwhelmed. Congratulations on getting your home cleared of the excess and creating a lovely space.
