I’m loving the sister decluttering videos. Your big sister is hilarious 😆. How come there’s no fighting? I couldn’t cope with helping my big sister declutter. More power to you.
Hhaaaahaa, I do this with my tia and remind her it helps me too. No one want to be in an overwhelming situation and we love to read architectural digest. 🎉
I click on videos with Sherry as soon as I see them. Hang in there Sherry, and remember how much you enjoyed the vacation rental with all the open space. You are getting there, one step at a time.
Yes! This reminds me of @EricaLucasLoves journey to minimalism! She also had a vacation rental a-ha moment that made her want to simplify her life. I love her and her TH-cam channel: Sherry, check her life-changing journey decluttering her house!
Sherry, DON’T GIVE UP! Don’t regret your decisions. Don’t listen to folks that might be saying you should have had a yard sale, etc. You are on the right track! You dont have time for selling stuff! Hang in there! You’ll be happier in the long run. Let it go so you can get your life and health back. Less stuff means less dust. Less dust improves asthma! You got this lady! Eye on the prize! I have a rule that I learned somewhere else. If it can replaced for $25 or less then out it goes. I have only replaced one thing. My lemon juicer thing. Other than that I haven’t missed anything. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. You’re doing great!
Dear Carla and Sister, Thanks you for the wonderful inspirational videos. They encourage me to tackle my decluttering projects. Little by little I'm making headway in my bedroom which is the most challenging since I moved out of the storage to help save money. I made a big dent today. YEEHAW 😅 Keep up the great videos and great work. ❤🙏
I went through ONE small drawer that had a little over 100 tiny things. Maybe about 4or 5 were useful to my current life. It was a good reminder that sometimes 95% or more of that stuff can go without missing it!
Im already laughing. The tattoo eyebrows in the bag with wood filler 😂😂😂 I love this series Carla! Your sister is such a good sport and she’s so funny. I love her personality and you two together ❤
These two always leave me with a smile on my face. They always have a laugh together. Keep going ladies, you're doing awesomely. I know you have inspired me and probably a lot of other people 😍
Hey Carla’s sis, I used to be a hoarder at one point and my apartment was piled up to my shoulders all around me and sometimes higher. I know you are ready to be done right about now and it’s exhausting. It’s good to take a break and celebrate all the little wins. For me it was the moment I could lay on my bed and the piles didn’t reach past my eye line laying down. Then it was the time I got my kitchen to the point where I could cook and clean it all away. Celebrating gives you energy to carry on. So we will celebrate with you that these 2 annoying bags that probably nagged you every time you saw them have now gone, to be replaced by peace and calm 🎉
I'm so impressed by you Arty Antics! That is quite an accomplishment. I have understood that most hoarders do not heal so you have overcome considerable odds and gotten to the place you are now! Good on you!!
Your sister does have some nice furniture, curtains, and decor in her bedroom. It will look great straight away after it’s declutterred because it’s already decorated so nicely.
I rarely comment on videos but I have to say, I absolutely love your chanel and especially this sister declutter journey. Firstly thanks so much to your sister for being so courageous and allowing us in to her home. In to her life. I have 5 sisters myself (no brothers) and I love your interaction together. I've just completed a very long declutter journey myself and it's not easy. I love your sincerity, it's very helpful and encouraging to those of us with real homes that aren't huge with tonnes of space etc. Wishing you (and all you other subscribers/viewers out there) a wonderful holiday season and thanks for all the work you put in to your chanel.
I am so impressed with your big sister and how she is willing to let us witness her transformation into someone who wants to live more minimally. This is such hard work, but every time Sherry gets rid of something it will become easier and easier. Thank you Carla and Sherry! ❤
I think that even when she decides to keep and/or relocate, it is getting things where they need to be. Then, on a second pass, she will realize how much of a certain category she has and will be able to let more go. Your sister is doing an amazing job!
Great job Sherry! You are so inspiring to watch. Remember that you did not accumulate all this stuff in one day so it will take time to declutter. Anytime you live in the same home for a long period of time, we tend to "collect" stuff we don't need or that serve no purpose or happiness. Carla is being so supportive in your decisions but also she has to be the task master to keep you on track. You both work so well together, so just keep pushing forward. You two are my favorite and most inspiring series to watch!!!
I’ve got 20 years worth of stuff I’ve been working on from before I moved two years ago. It sure piles up, but I have a lot less now. Gotta get to my Moms stuff to see what is worth keeping. Photos and keepsakes need to be displayed once I figure it out.
I love this series. It is so nice to feel like we are just hanging out with you two wonderful people... You're doing so great, Sherry. We're all cheering with you, with every decision you have to make. And Carla, you are cracking that whip with humor and patience and love. It doesn't get any better than that!
You're doing amazing. This middle part is where most give-up - DON'T do it! You always feel that right before a break-through. Go through the motions until that break-through hits - because it will. And when it does - keep pushing! You're doing amazing. I'm so thrilled to see you come out on the other side of this. You're going to feel lighter, there's going to be space both in your home and in your mind, and you and your family are going to keep reaping the rewards of the compound effect once you've completed this massive project! You deserve to have a home that's easy to maintain. It IS possible. Contrary to pop-culture, it IS attainable. You won't see it unless you continue. I believe you will do this!!
Keep up the good progress. 8 years ago I helped my sister move…everything into a new home. After helping her all day, I went home and started cleaning out my home. A year later, my husband and I moved to a different state and it was easy enough because I had already decluttered. Each year we travel back and I help declutter my sisters stuff. So keep up the good progress.
The decision fatigue is real! Especially with a declutter like this. Your sister is doing amazing, everything that leaves the house is one less thing she has to manage. 💕
That was a mammoth effort, I could feel all the emotions rising as Sherry was confronted by things. She’s doing so well, it is such a hard thing to do and continue to be authentic online. Props to you both for all your hard work ❤❤
You've motivated me to declutter all my paperwork. A daunting task! I will start and finish this month. I don't want to carry excessive paperwork into 2024! 😢 Good luck
You can do it. I did. Took me hours to shred. Oh! Here's an idea. If you can't burn or shred, get a bin and place the papers in there. Add water and some sort of cleaner or dishwashing liguid. Let it sit overnight. Then drain water next day, shred papers in bin, leave in bin, and discard in trash bags or just throw away bin. Wetting the docs will remove print off pages. Easier than shredding
I was procrastinating on discarding old taxes with the aferent documents. I own a business and I had about a banker box full for each year. I set up a rule that anything 9 years or older can get shredded. It took me weeks to shred everything, go through old documents etc. in retrospect, I should have piled up everything and taken them to a shredding company. It was exhausting, I had a ton of bags full of shredded papers, my shredder was overheating and shutting off, dust from shredding the papers was flying around... I'm now keeping up with all my paperwork, no more procrastinating! And I'm slowly going through my things and making decisions about what to keep. I've got about 4 Rubbermaid totes with Christmas stuff that I don't even use! I'm listing things for sale, donating the lesser value things and slowly making progress. I'm determined to not leave my clutter behind for my daughter to deal with after I die, I don't want her to hate me.
Tell your Sister she is awesome, lovely personality just like you Carla. Tell her dont be so hard on herself. Change is one of the most difficult things. She deserves points for all she has done thru out this whole process.
Sherry did so great for being tired. All the donate and trash items are out of the house and that is Progress! 😍 Today I trashed a lot of old medical and banking paperwork in my filing cabinet, some sitting there for 15+ years. 😮
Lost one of my best friends of almost 30 years today. You beautiful ladies put a smile on my face and made me laugh which I so desperately needed. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️! As always you ladies are knocking it out the park, well done!!
I’ve been binging on your channel getting some much needed decluttering inspiration. Bravo ladies!! You are helping more people than you even realize. 🙌💕
Me too💖👏👏and + sense of humor + realistic process (*decision making) Keep it up sister 👍🌼🌻 ** I've been having low energy and bloting (*even some day I did not eat much) stomach But over a month, I've been eating cabbage ! steam or boil Just eat as snack, surprisingly " I slowly gain energy and better stomach bloting. Condition : no Latte, 100% quit alcohol, try not to eat too much flour
So true. Carla is definitely one of my favorites. I love seeing her sister Sherry and Samson who plays to role of a manager who sits by and inspects. lol
Ladies, we must be sisters. There are four sister’s in our family. I’m the oldest and the only hoarder. I’m a “Sherry” down to the bone. Thank you Carla for giving your time to assist and be a part of Sherry’s healing process. Love you both. From Minnesota
She’s doing so well! She got rid of stuff even when she started off tired. In these cases, remembering “something is better than nothing” is important to remember AND y’all were rehoming items to their more appropriate areas, which will help in the inevitable second sweep.
Watching you and Sis make those hard decisions helps me when making mine. Living vicariously does help build the "I'd rather have the space vs. just "another" one of whatever it is and I chuck it in the donate box. Thank you both!
You two make me smile in my depression. It reminds me that I will answer that call from family and joke, not feel shame guilt embarrassment hiding disgust …..it’s always a fear especially with family.
Yay Sherry! That’s 2 whole bags of mystery items dealt with, you’re doing better than me! Don’t give up, slow and steady and lots of laughs with that girl😂 you let in the house! You guys are the best medicine. ❤️
Carla: you are such a kind little sister! You obviously love each other and also seem to respect each other a lot. Love to watch you two take care of each other.
I love your sister's determination and hard work🌻She has done remarkably well IMO, on her decluttering journey. You are a great little sister Carla for helping her out. You are helping her to get her life back, by helping her to create a peaceful space to live in. The bible and the cross made me laugh, ward off those vampires Carla.
I LOVE how you JUDGE but so gently. ❤😅😅😅❤😂😂😂❤😅😅😅❤ And the 'rowr' with the leopard headband... Can she BE any more adorable?!? You and your sister need a SHOW. ❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤ It's such a continuous cliff hanger! Will she or won't she... LET. IT. GO!?!?
We have 2 new kittens/cats, so all of the Christmas presents are in my bedroom rather than under the tree. I cannot wait until the 24th (we open presents on Christmas eve) because I can finally CLEAN my bedroom properly - and do MORE decluttering/organizing!
Hello, I watch every video of your decluttering journey. Visualize yourself in your home the way you imagine it after all the decluttering is done. Know that every step you take you are going toward that vision. You will make it! Step-by-step, you'll reach your vision. I hope you are able to enjoy the process and comfort yourself knowing you're doing a lot to help your family. I love watching your videos and watching you determined to keep going even if you don't feel up to it. I'm so inspired by your journey❤
It makes sense what you said that we can only change 20% at a time or it's too much at once. When I push myself to do major decluttering, I get severe anxiety from the things that aren't there anymore, i.e., decluttering too much at once can feel overwhelming in the opposite sense (too much change at once). You have such patience, Carla, you guys did another great job! Thank you for another motivating episode. :-)
I love how your sister gets going and you can suddenly see the shift where it starts to be so much easier for her to let things go! For sure she must be feeling lighter as time goes on! Nice job!
You two are so natural and relatable. I feel like a sister sitting in the corner. Thanks for those words Carla, I needed them to keep going, it's exhausting getting closer to the top of the hill
I am cheering for you! For real I am sitting here and applauding every time you let something go and free space for new energy to flow in. Watched your videos for a year now, but nothing beets these videos with your sister. They are amazing and really show how hard it is to declutter, especially those small decisions. Hugs from Denmark
One bag emptied, handful of things in their proper place and some donated. Every step is one step closer. Its a journey and takes time. Im glad you have each other to take the journey. Its beautiful and I appreciate that I can be a witness. Keep going! You will get to the end, one step at a time. You got this! ❤
Yes, this is the "messy middles" of a declutter. I've been there. I am sort of there now on a home remodel. Please keep up the good work. It helps the rest of us.
Wait until you introduce your sister to "Swedish Death Cleaning" lol! (jk! She's not ready for that yet!) I'm so proud of your sister for the progress she's making! Keep on keeping on!
I know it feels overwhelming but she’s doing so good! Decluttering is a muscle that needs to be exercised. The more you do it, the easier it gets! Once she gets through the whole house, she’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment. A second round of decluttering will feel so much easier. I’m really proud of how well she’s doing. You are such a great sister to help her through this process. I’m really enjoying seeing your sisterly banter and bond as well.
This is the PERFECT video to show why it’s wonderful to have a helper when decluttering! You both weren’t really feeling it, but you still pushed yourselves to go through two bags! AND these baby steps are exactly what we all need to make our homes peaceful! Really great job!! 🎉❤
I love hearing the two of you laugh😂❤! Even though your sister felt a little overwhelmed, I think she did great.❤ Anything is better than nothing! I decluttered my home onion peel style and eventually I did see the light at the end of the tunnel! You got this!❤ It's not a race, just do section by section, little by little. Sending you both good vibes and hugs from Canada.🤗
You are so kind to your sister. Love the way you use humor to keep her going. I had a husband who was a hoarder. My son and daughter were an immense help after he died decluttering so I could sell my house. My son filled 2 dumpsters from the garage alone. They both helped me in the house. Sometimes I would say get rid of something and my daughter would say - no keep it. I had a cane back rocking chair that I rocked my babies in - but the seat was gone. I told them reluctantly to throw it out. They took it to a repair shop and surprised me with it for Christmas. 🥰
Hope that both of you receive some comfort from knowing that as we watch you do this work we too get inspired to continue our journey as well. Your not alone we are all in this together. Sending MUCH Love to the both of you. Stay encouraged.
You’ve been doing so great Sherry! I know this was posted a while ago but keep up the amazing work! At least now you’re more aware of what you have and where it may be. I’m not sure if you know much about ADD and depression, but I am learning about mine and the way it affects me is I get distracted easily plus I don’t have energy to put things where they belong, though I do know what I have and where it “should” go. And when I can’t see something that I need, it becomes even more unreachable. I love how Carla asks in her videos, “how would you like this room to look?” That really helps me to focus. Clear bins are another saving grace for me. You are doing so fantastic. You are really persevering! So inspiring.❤❤
The middle mess is so hard but soooo rewarding when you're finished. I love these videos because they show the real struggle with decision making and fatigue. It is so uplifting once it's gone. It may not feel like you didn't do much but it really is alot and the best part is you won't miss any of it. It really is a strange feeling to explain but its worth it. Great job to you both.
Thank you for sharing that things can become disastrous as they are getting better, this is the point where I have become very overwhelmed and worry about making a bigger mess.
Ya'll are better than nighttime TV! I'll be moving soon and am not looking forward to going through this process. Thankfully, I'm more brutal when it comes to getting rid of things.
I just love these! A real household, with real challenges, just like mine! Your humour and sisterly silliness is awesome. Keep going, Sherry! You will get there, all in good time.
Carla, your sister is the big sis everyone wants! Thanks for giving us a peek into your sweet relationship with her. She’s on the right track - one bag at a time! Even one small bag is progress. Love you guys!
The two of you are great together! Bibles, crosses and laughter. It’s goes so much faster with a coach to help make decisions! You both are helping so many of us. It is hard but the results are worth it! ❤❤❤
Your sister is doing an awesome job these past weeks. I think she just needed the friendship and love of someone helping her. You can tell she's ready for the change but the job is big and hard to do alone. Every bag or box gone through is one step closer to realising her dream.
You are doing such a great job Sherry with your sister’s help of decluttering your home. I know she is super proud of you, and as a fellow organizer/decluttering person I am super proud of you! You just gotta take it one step at a time, one room at a time just like Carla is helping you to do. It’s easy to get overwhelmed I know, but you’ll be so much happier when things are in their correct spaces and you have gotten rid of things you no longer need, no longer helping you and no longer bringing you any joy. You got this! Keep going!! ❤❤
Thank u Sherry for opening your doors to us! U know we are all at home, washing the dishes, putting laundry away, cleaning the counters, and decluttering our own clutter as u do yours? So thank u for your service today! Merry Xmas!
Sis was so tired but she did it. Two bags to donate, threw out some trash but what was left is now in its home instead of sitting in a bag of dread. This is a win ❤
Your sister Sherry is so lovely. Glad you’re having some fun while doing this, it is hard. Every effort makes a difference and it’s worth keeping going x x
Sherry you're doing brilliantly 👏 Decluttering and sorting is difficult and exhausting with all the decisions that need to be made. I had to declutter and clear my mums house which prompted me to completely declutter my own life. My mum hoarded 60 years worth of belongings, it felt difficult and overwhelming in the moment, especially with sentimental items and guilt with my own belongings which I felt I'd wasted money on, but bit by bit it got done and the results were so worth it. Living a simpler more decluttered and peaceful life is so much more valuable than any of the items you are letting go of, keep up the good work, we're all cheering you on 🙌😊
She's doing really well. Getting rid of stuff is hard work, you get decision fatigue and change is stressful. I am grateful that she still wants to share the process, this is definitely helping a lot of people. I hope she can reach a point where she feels free and content soon.
You all did great getting those bags out the room. Although most stuff is relocated it has a home. I had much smaller tote bags and one is in my desk I haven't touched it since March. Little bags are sometimes the toughest to declutter. Keep going it gets harder before it gets easier ❤. Hopefully, the office remodel gives you that hope and joy you need at the moment.
When I've stayed in a holiday home, I've felt just like Sherry - that I don't need so much to live contentedly. Then I go home to all my stuff, and my peace is shattered! Yet, it's so hard to make the decisions about which things to let go. You hold a piece of ribbon and think of all the things you could do with it; however, you never do it because there's so much stuff in the way - both physically and metaphorically. It weighs on your mind as much as on the overladen surfaces. I love to see the interaction between the two sisters; it's clear how much they care for each other, without blame or judgement. I bet Sherry helped Carla when she was little, and now Carla is returning the favour.
I love this series and seeing the evolution of your sister's place. I love to see you bonding over this exercise, it is not easy to let go but with support she can do it. I am a bit like your sister and I congratulate myself each time I declutter something. I realize my life gets simpler when I have less stuff to care. Your sister has a beautiful bedroom, those blue curtains and all the blue accents are perfect and we will see them more once the clutter is gone.
Yay! Great progress! I’m feeling your pain sis! So many little tedious things that all have perceived value! Had to laugh with the can of salmon and freeze dried sweet potatoes in with tattoo eyebrows and wigs! 🤣. Keep going. Just look at the square amt of space you freed up!!! ❤❤❤❤
I don't comment often, But I have to say how much courage and honesty it takes to have your world exposed. Choosing the public for accountability takes a strong person. you Ladies are doing an amazing job!
Sherry, I still feel overwhelmed or stressed or burned out or anxiety and flashbacks when I declutter. I am the 4th year in my journey. But there are also so much benefits in my life and all the decisions and work I´ve avoid to do over multiple decades are almost all tackled. I see the light in the end of the tunnel. Also it´s way easier to live in my home and cleaning is getting easier and lot of times, when my health is not ideal, I am massively glad, about all the work I did in the past few years. When I get sick and my home is getting chaotic, it´s SO much easier to pull it back together. And to be honest - to feel it´s more manageable on a daily base is worth each hard moment of making decisions, beeing overwhelmed by decluttering and maybe have anxiety to let go of the "wrong" item. I am thankfull each day, that I kept going and made huge progress. Even when there are a few areas still need some attention. One day, I will be gone through all of the stuff in the house.

Yay, another big sis video. I love that she hasn't given up and kicked us out.
Me too
Hhaaaahaa, I do this with my tia and remind her it helps me too. No one want to be in an overwhelming situation and we love to read architectural digest. 🎉
Agreed. I look forward to these a lot and get excited each time I see a new one. Thank you for letting us into your house!
Ur creating a new reality with every decision! Keep going! It doesn’t matter the pace ur doing great!!
I was thinking the same!
I click on videos with Sherry as soon as I see them. Hang in there Sherry, and remember how much you enjoyed the vacation rental with all the open space. You are getting there, one step at a time.
Yes, the vacation rental. I remember how relaxed you said you felt. 🧡
Yes! This reminds me of @EricaLucasLoves journey to minimalism! She also had a vacation rental a-ha moment that made her want to simplify her life.
I love her and her TH-cam channel: Sherry, check her life-changing journey decluttering her house!

I have that same rule. Haven't missed anything! I also agree my allergies are so much better since I decluttered.
Dear Carla and Sister,
Thanks you for the wonderful inspirational videos. They encourage me to tackle my decluttering projects. Little by little I'm making headway in my bedroom which is the most challenging since I moved out of the storage to help save money. I made a big dent today. YEEHAW 😅 Keep up the great videos and great work. ❤🙏
I went through ONE small drawer that had a little over 100 tiny things. Maybe about 4or 5 were useful to my current life. It was a good reminder that sometimes 95% or more of that stuff can go without missing it!
Yard Sales are for when you are constantly decluttering and maintaining your home. You need a good baseline to start with. Sherry is getting there!
Im already laughing. The tattoo eyebrows in the bag with wood filler 😂😂😂 I love this series Carla! Your sister is such a good sport and she’s so funny. I love her personality and you two together ❤
Hahaha thank you ☺️ ❤️
Eyebrows, Wood filler, AND chocolate peanut butter.
I believe you two will get rid of a lot love seeing you two together laughing n having fun awesome
don't forget the light or whatever that "does" something!! I love this type of declutter so much. @@RCGWho
These two always leave me with a smile on my face. They always have a laugh together. Keep going ladies, you're doing awesomely. I know you have inspired me and probably a lot of other people 😍
Hey Carla’s sis, I used to be a hoarder at one point and my apartment was piled up to my shoulders all around me and sometimes higher. I know you are ready to be done right about now and it’s exhausting. It’s good to take a break and celebrate all the little wins. For me it was the moment I could lay on my bed and the piles didn’t reach past my eye line laying down. Then it was the time I got my kitchen to the point where I could cook and clean it all away. Celebrating gives you energy to carry on. So we will celebrate with you that these 2 annoying bags that probably nagged you every time you saw them have now gone, to be replaced by peace and calm 🎉

@@aliciaswaringen5732 thanks, it’s still a battle in my head at times but that sense of peace always makes me reset when things get too much.
Now that the room is getting decluttered we can see how beautifully she has it decorated, I love the peacock colors of the curtains ❤
I totally agree!❤️
Your sister does have some nice furniture, curtains, and decor in her bedroom. It will look great straight away after it’s declutterred because it’s already decorated so nicely.
Yes, it’s a pretty room and I love the colors!
Yes! I love the curtains and have been putting off finding some for my closets. It's going on my 2024 goal list

I haven't even watched this yet but your sister made me laugh out loud when she shut the door in your face...
I am so impressed with your big sister and how she is willing to let us witness her transformation into someone who wants to live more minimally. This is such hard work, but every time Sherry gets rid of something it will become easier and easier. Thank you Carla and Sherry! ❤

I love this series. It is so nice to feel like we are just hanging out with you two wonderful people... You're doing so great, Sherry. We're all cheering with you, with every decision you have to make. And Carla, you are cracking that whip with humor and patience and love. It doesn't get any better than that!
I'm amazed at how fast a decision maker she is now compared to earlier videos. Way to go! 🎉
You're doing amazing. This middle part is where most give-up - DON'T do it! You always feel that right before a break-through. Go through the motions until that break-through hits - because it will.

That was a mammoth effort, I could feel all the emotions rising as Sherry was confronted by things. She’s doing so well, it is such a hard thing to do and continue to be authentic online. Props to you both for all your hard work ❤❤
You've motivated me to declutter all my paperwork. A daunting task! I will start and finish this month. I don't want to carry excessive paperwork into 2024! 😢 Good luck

Let it sit overnight. Then drain water next day, shred papers in bin, leave in bin, and discard in trash bags or just throw away bin.
Wetting the docs will remove print off pages. Easier than shredding
I was procrastinating on discarding old taxes with the aferent documents. I own a business and I had about a banker box full for each year. I set up a rule that anything 9 years or older can get shredded. It took me weeks to shred everything, go through old documents etc. in retrospect, I should have piled up everything and taken them to a shredding company. It was exhausting, I had a ton of bags full of shredded papers, my shredder was overheating and shutting off, dust from shredding the papers was flying around... I'm now keeping up with all my paperwork, no more procrastinating! And I'm slowly going through my things and making decisions about what to keep. I've got about 4 Rubbermaid totes with Christmas stuff that I don't even use! I'm listing things for sale, donating the lesser value things and slowly making progress. I'm determined to not leave my clutter behind for my daughter to deal with after I die, I don't want her to hate me.
@@1whitecottagelife770 That's so thoughtful of you.
Tell your Sister she is awesome, lovely personality just like you Carla. Tell her dont be so hard on herself. Change is one of the most difficult things. She deserves points for all she has done thru out this whole process.
Sherry did so great for being tired. All the donate and trash items are out of the house and that is Progress! 😍 Today I trashed a lot of old medical and banking paperwork in my filing cabinet, some sitting there for 15+ years. 😮
Lost one of my best friends of almost 30 years today. You beautiful ladies put a smile on my face and made me laugh which I so desperately needed. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️! As always you ladies are knocking it out the park, well done!!
Sorry for your loss.
Ty!🥰 @angushenry
So sorry for your loss kelly😢
Ty!🥰@cynthia6771
Sending love & light ✨️
Loved the intro! Your sister is doing amazing! She has let go of a crazy amount of stuff in a short time.
I’ve been binging on your channel getting some much needed decluttering inspiration.
Bravo ladies!! You are helping more people than you even realize. 🙌💕
Yay! Thank you so much 💝💝💝
Me too💖👏👏and + sense of humor + realistic process (*decision making)
Keep it up sister 👍🌼🌻

So true. Carla is definitely one of my favorites. I love seeing her sister Sherry and Samson who plays to role of a manager who sits by and inspects. lol
@@87suzini agreed! They are so realistic. My favorite TH-camrs are the relatable ones.💕
@@TheCarlaProject you ladies remind me of myself and my sisters. 😁 absolutely love your channel.
Ladies, we must be sisters. There are four sister’s in our family. I’m the oldest and the only hoarder. I’m a “Sherry” down to the bone. Thank you Carla for giving your time to assist and be a part of Sherry’s healing process. Love you both. From Minnesota
You are so blessed to have a little sister who understands, lends a hand and supports you through this process.
Yay!!! The sisters are back!! ❤
She’s doing so well! She got rid of stuff even when she started off tired. In these cases, remembering “something is better than nothing” is important to remember AND y’all were rehoming items to their more appropriate areas, which will help in the inevitable second sweep.
I cannot believe how excited I am to watch this video.
The MYSTERY! The SUSPENSE! The CAMARADERIE!
Watching you and Sis make those hard decisions helps me when making mine. Living vicariously does help build the "I'd rather have the space vs. just "another" one of whatever it is and I chuck it in the donate box. Thank you both!
Love that! Thank you so much!!❤️
What a BLESSING you two are. I wish I had a family member or loved one to care and help me.😢
Wish I could help too!!
Same here. It is always good to have a buddy doing this!
Thank you all
It feels like having decluttering buddies listening to the two of you! Great laughter.🧡
You two make me smile in my depression. It reminds me that I will answer that call from family and joke, not feel shame guilt embarrassment hiding disgust …..it’s always a fear especially with family.
I find the piles of unmade decisions so much harder then cleaning out a drawer. I have 3 big ones on my floor right now. Your sister is doing great.
Another great one Carla. Always a joy to see Sherry in a video ❤❤
Enjoying the laughter of sisters ❤
Yay Sherry! That’s 2 whole bags of mystery items dealt with, you’re doing better than me! Don’t give up, slow and steady and lots of laughs with that girl😂 you let in the house! You guys are the best medicine. ❤️
…. Don’t forget donate is an option too…. 😂😂😂 love it
😂😂😂❤😂😂😂
Carla: you are such a kind little sister! You obviously love each other and also seem to respect each other a lot. Love to watch you two take care of each other.
I love your sister's determination and hard work🌻She has done remarkably well IMO, on her decluttering journey. You are a great little sister Carla for helping her out. You are helping her to get her life back, by helping her to create a peaceful space to live in. The bible and the cross made me laugh, ward off those vampires Carla.
I LOVE how you JUDGE but so gently.
❤😅😅😅❤😂😂😂❤😅😅😅❤
And the 'rowr' with the leopard headband... Can she BE any more adorable?!?
You and your sister need a SHOW. ❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤
It's such a continuous cliff hanger!
Will she or won't she...
LET. IT. GO!?!?
lol 😂 she’s hilarious
It can be overwhelming to do so much decluttering at one time. It is good to take breaks. Your sister is making great progress!
We have 2 new kittens/cats, so all of the Christmas presents are in my bedroom rather than under the tree. I cannot wait until the 24th (we open presents on Christmas eve) because I can finally CLEAN my bedroom properly - and do MORE decluttering/organizing!
Hello, I watch every video of your decluttering journey. Visualize yourself in your home the way you imagine it after all the decluttering is done. Know that every step you take you are going toward that vision. You will make it! Step-by-step, you'll reach your vision. I hope you are able to enjoy the process and comfort yourself knowing you're doing a lot to help your family. I love watching your videos and watching you determined to keep going even if you don't feel up to it. I'm so inspired by your journey❤
"Do you wanna keep it or are you being funny?"- "I'm being tired" i felt that.😀😀😀😀 Sooooooo much fun watching you.❤
Glad you enjoyed!😂❤️
You got this big sis! I can already see the changes just watching the videos you’ve been doing together! Keep going!
It makes sense what you said that we can only change 20% at a time or it's too much at once. When I push myself to do major decluttering, I get severe anxiety from the things that aren't there anymore, i.e., decluttering too much at once can feel overwhelming in the opposite sense (too much change at once). You have such patience, Carla, you guys did another great job! Thank you for another motivating episode. :-)
I love how your sister gets going and you can suddenly see the shift where it starts to be so much easier for her to let things go! For sure she must be feeling lighter as time goes on! Nice job!
You two are so natural and relatable.
I feel like a sister sitting in the corner.
Thanks for those words Carla, I needed them to keep going, it's exhausting getting closer to the top of the hill
I am cheering for you! For real I am sitting here and applauding every time you let something go and free space for new energy to flow in.
Watched your videos for a year now, but nothing beets these videos with your sister. They are amazing and really show how hard it is to declutter, especially those small decisions. Hugs from Denmark
One bag emptied, handful of things in their proper place and some donated. Every step is one step closer. Its a journey and takes time. Im glad you have each other to take the journey. Its beautiful and I appreciate that I can be a witness. Keep going! You will get to the end, one step at a time. You got this! ❤
Cords! I can relate! I have so many and have no idea what they are for! Sherry and Carla...ya'll are motivating me to take on my own clutter!
Wonderful!💝💝
Your sister got a really nice bedroom. I hope she enjoys it more when the clutter is gone.
Yes, this is the "messy middles" of a declutter. I've been there. I am sort of there now on a home remodel.
Please keep up the good work. It helps the rest of us.
Omg Sherry with the leopard headband. I love this woman! Please keep us updated on her progress!!
Wait until you introduce your sister to "Swedish Death Cleaning" lol! (jk! She's not ready for that yet!)
I'm so proud of your sister for the progress she's making! Keep on keeping on!
I know it feels overwhelming but she’s doing so good! Decluttering is a muscle that needs to be exercised. The more you do it, the easier it gets! Once she gets through the whole house, she’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment. A second round of decluttering will feel so much easier. I’m really proud of how well she’s doing. You are such a great sister to help her through this process. I’m really enjoying seeing your sisterly banter and bond as well.
This is the PERFECT video to show why it’s wonderful to have a helper when decluttering! You both weren’t really feeling it, but you still pushed yourselves to go through two bags! AND these baby steps are exactly what we all need to make our homes peaceful! Really great job!! 🎉❤
Never heard of the 20% rule. Interesting and seems to be true for me too. I get that panicky feeling when my husband wants to just toss everything.
I love hearing the two of you laugh😂❤! Even though your sister felt a little overwhelmed, I think she did great.❤ Anything is better than nothing! I decluttered my home onion peel style and eventually I did see the light at the end of the tunnel! You got this!❤ It's not a race, just do section by section, little by little. Sending you both good vibes and hugs from Canada.🤗
You are so kind to your sister. Love the way you use humor to keep her going. I had a husband who was a hoarder. My son and daughter were an immense help after he died decluttering so I could sell my house. My son filled 2 dumpsters from the garage alone. They both helped me in the house. Sometimes I would say get rid of something and my daughter would say - no keep it. I had a cane back rocking chair that I rocked my babies in - but the seat was gone. I told them reluctantly to throw it out. They took it to a repair shop and surprised me with it for Christmas. 🥰
Hope that both of you receive some comfort from knowing that as we watch you do this work we too get inspired to continue our journey as well. Your not alone we are all in this together. Sending MUCH Love to the both of you. Stay encouraged.
You’ve been doing so great Sherry! I know this was posted a while ago but keep up the amazing work! At least now you’re more aware of what you have and where it may be. I’m not sure if you know much about ADD and depression, but I am learning about mine and the way it affects me is I get distracted easily plus I don’t have energy to put things where they belong, though I do know what I have and where it “should” go. And when I can’t see something that I need, it becomes even more unreachable. I love how Carla asks in her videos, “how would you like this room to look?” That really helps me to focus. Clear bins are another saving grace for me. You are doing so fantastic. You are really persevering! So inspiring.❤❤
The middle mess is so hard but soooo rewarding when you're finished. I love these videos because they show the real struggle with decision making and fatigue. It is so uplifting once it's gone. It may not feel like you didn't do much but it really is alot and the best part is you won't miss any of it. It really is a strange feeling to explain but its worth it. Great job to you both.
Carla, I am so proud of your Sister for letting things go. She is making great strides in being clutter free. And thanks to you for helping her! 👍
I'm so glad to see this! I'm in my bedroom trying to declutter and I need yall!❤
Keep up the hard work! I love you guys filming together ❤️
I'm amazed how similar our clutter is. The bedroom is no different.
I am so proud of your sister fighting the good fight even when you both have decision fatigue. It's a lot keep up the good work ladies.
We love the decluttering videos with your sister! Tell her to keep going because she is doing a great job!!!
Thank you for sharing that things can become disastrous as they are getting better, this is the point where I have become very overwhelmed and worry about making a bigger mess.
Ya'll are better than nighttime TV! I'll be moving soon and am not looking forward to going through this process. Thankfully, I'm more brutal when it comes to getting rid of things.
4/2/2024. I'm watching ALL of your sister's videos. Y'all are DELIGHTFUL 🙂😅
Had to pause right out of the gate...or rather at the front door....what a fun intro!
The two of you together are a hoot😅
I just love these! A real household, with real challenges, just like mine! Your humour and sisterly silliness is awesome. Keep going, Sherry! You will get there, all in good time.
This is my fav series and I look forward to it every week. Progress over perfection! You are doing great and it will all be worth it! ❤
I love your videos with your sister, she seems so sweet and hilarious sense of humor 🙂
Carla, your sister is the big sis everyone wants! Thanks for giving us a peek into your sweet relationship with her. She’s on the right track - one bag at a time! Even one small bag is progress. Love you guys!
The two of you are great together! Bibles, crosses and laughter. It’s goes so much faster with a coach to help make decisions! You both are helping so many of us. It is hard but the results are worth it! ❤❤❤
Best day ever! Get it to spend with you.
Your sister is doing an awesome job these past weeks. I think she just needed the friendship and love of someone helping her. You can tell she's ready for the change but the job is big and hard to do alone. Every bag or box gone through is one step closer to realising her dream.
You are doing such a great job Sherry with your sister’s help of decluttering your home. I know she is super proud of you, and as a fellow organizer/decluttering person I am super proud of you! You just gotta take it one step at a time, one room at a time just like Carla is helping you to do. It’s easy to get overwhelmed I know, but you’ll be so much happier when things are in their correct spaces and you have gotten rid of things you no longer need, no longer helping you and no longer bringing you any joy.
You got this! Keep going!! ❤❤
Feng Shu her room then house when its all done!!! ❤❤❤
Thank u Sherry for opening your doors to us! U know we are all at home, washing the dishes, putting laundry away, cleaning the counters, and decluttering our own clutter as u do yours? So thank u for your service today! Merry Xmas!
Sis was so tired but she did it. Two bags to donate, threw out some trash but what was left is now in its home instead of sitting in a bag of dread. This is a win ❤
You both are doing such wonderful work!
At 12:56 I honestly thought Sherry was swigging from a bottle of wine at first! 😂
Your sister Sherry is so lovely. Glad you’re having some fun while doing this, it is hard. Every effort makes a difference and it’s worth keeping going x x
Sherry you're doing brilliantly 👏 Decluttering and sorting is difficult and exhausting with all the decisions that need to be made. I had to declutter and clear my mums house which prompted me to completely declutter my own life. My mum hoarded 60 years worth of belongings, it felt difficult and overwhelming in the moment, especially with sentimental items and guilt with my own belongings which I felt I'd wasted money on, but bit by bit it got done and the results were so worth it. Living a simpler more decluttered and peaceful life is so much more valuable than any of the items you are letting go of, keep up the good work, we're all cheering you on 🙌😊
I LOVE this series with your sister! She's wonderful!
She's doing really well. Getting rid of stuff is hard work, you get decision fatigue and change is stressful. I am grateful that she still wants to share the process, this is definitely helping a lot of people. I hope she can reach a point where she feels free and content soon.
You all did great getting those bags out the room. Although most stuff is relocated it has a home. I had much smaller tote bags and one is in my desk I haven't touched it since March. Little bags are sometimes the toughest to declutter. Keep going it gets harder before it gets easier ❤. Hopefully, the office remodel gives you that hope and joy you need at the moment.
When I've stayed in a holiday home, I've felt just like Sherry - that I don't need so much to live contentedly. Then I go home to all my stuff, and my peace is shattered!
Yet, it's so hard to make the decisions about which things to let go. You hold a piece of ribbon and think of all the things you could do with it; however, you never do it because there's so much stuff in the way - both physically and metaphorically. It weighs on your mind as much as on the overladen surfaces.
I love to see the interaction between the two sisters; it's clear how much they care for each other, without blame or judgement. I bet Sherry helped Carla when she was little, and now Carla is returning the favour.
Love this series!
A good question to ask your sister may be "Do you want to manage this item any longer?"
Congratulations!! I would suggest putting her glasses in her sentimental box and have it accesible but looks pretty.❤ your videos!
I love this series and seeing the evolution of your sister's place. I love to see you bonding over this exercise, it is not easy to let go but with support she can do it. I am a bit like your sister and I congratulate myself each time I declutter something. I realize my life gets simpler when I have less stuff to care. Your sister has a beautiful bedroom, those blue curtains and all the blue accents are perfect and we will see them more once the clutter is gone.
I AM impressed!! I can see that her decluttering muscles are getting stronger! Her decision making was fast and confident!
Yay! Great progress! I’m feeling your pain sis! So many little tedious things that all have perceived value! Had to laugh with the can of salmon and freeze dried sweet potatoes in with tattoo eyebrows and wigs! 🤣. Keep going. Just look at the square amt of space you freed up!!! ❤❤❤❤
I don't comment often, But I have to say how much courage and honesty it takes to have your world exposed. Choosing the public for accountability takes a strong person. you Ladies are doing an amazing job!
Great job! You both persevered through the burnout! Congratulations !👍
Sherry, I still feel overwhelmed or stressed or burned out or anxiety and flashbacks when I declutter. I am the 4th year in my journey. But there are also so much benefits in my life and all the decisions and work I´ve avoid to do over multiple decades are almost all tackled. I see the light in the end of the tunnel. Also it´s way easier to live in my home and cleaning is getting easier and lot of times, when my health is not ideal, I am massively glad, about all the work I did in the past few years. When I get sick and my home is getting chaotic, it´s SO much easier to pull it back together. And to be honest - to feel it´s more manageable on a daily base is worth each hard moment of making decisions, beeing overwhelmed by decluttering and maybe have anxiety to let go of the "wrong" item.
I am thankfull each day, that I kept going and made huge progress. Even when there are a few areas still need some attention. One day, I will be gone through all of the stuff in the house.
“What’s this.. a cross?”
“Yeah it’s for you- to go with the Bible”
“What you’re trying to tell me”
😂😂😂😂
