EXTREME DECLUTTER 2020 QUARANTINE EDITION │ tidying up with Marie Kondo & the Konmari method
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- I attempted to do an EXTREME DECLUTTER of my childhood room in my parents' house while Denmark was in lock-down and everyone was quarantined. It was hectic and overwhelming and fun.
I used the Konmari method developed by Marie Kondo and I explain the method in this video for anyone interested.
I hope you enjoy this video!
All footage is from March 2020, but it took me 6 months to edit. Lol.
sending you love!
xx Millie.

Your “after” is so bright and airy and calming. I can certainly see how it would contribute to clearer thinking. Congratulations on your achievement,
I love the background music. Very relaxing and not too loud.
i watch so many declutttering videos and honestly this was just really unique and enjoyable!
aw thank you! that makes me so happy to hear ✨
Sinead Davies has a great NORMAL people version too! :D
something about her energy
Me too 😍😍
I love floor sitting too lol!! I am so glad I watched this. I loved the Marie Kondo book and show but I also liked your twist about "do I want to take this into my future". Thank you!!
Floor time is seriously the best! 🌞 there’s just something about it.
And yay, I’m so glad this video was valuable to you, love!
You look stunning in the red overalls and white top outfit
thank you! so sweet ✨
Amazing transformation in such a short time! Following up the question "does this spark joy?" with "is this something I want to bring into my future" is the missing piece from Marie Kondo's advice, I think. That really puts the emphasis on the present and the future, which is the way it ought to be. Great job, thank for the inspiration!!
I think Marie kondo doesnt say the future thing because many hoarders hoard things they think will be useable or neseccairy in the future, but the future thinking is very good for those of us who are just messy and have a lot of stuff!!
@@gorefieldluvr6921 Yeah, that could be it. Some of the things I own spark joy, but not to the extent that I want to bring them with me into the future. Spending so much time at home this past year has really made me aware of how much I own I neither use or appreciate. I'm also moving in a few months, so that's really lighting a fire under me to really think about each item and whether it's worth taking into the new space. The other question I ask myself is whether it's something I'd buy if I didn't already own it; if the answer is no, then out it goes.
At this point, I probably own less than half as much stuff as I did a few years ago, but it still feels like too much!
Claudia, well done for starting the clean out process for your move! That’s amazing ✨ your new space will feel so much lighter and easier to live in, I’m sure!
@@themilliethuesen_ Thanks, Millie :-)
I have been trying to go through 40 years of my belongings and it was some what hard and I still need to get rid of more and I will. Great job!!!
oh be gentle and patient with yourself ✨ that is a really big project, and you WILL get through it little by little 🙏🏼
Ooomg samee 20 years of stuff......little at a time im drained frustrated and overwhelmed at the things i kept my entire lifeee😭.........
🤲🤲
@infinityrose92 thank youuu will do👍😊 it's shocking how much it has owned me instead of me owning itt why? Weeping ... kon mari method has really helped i bought her book because it was the only thing that got me started atleast .... now my house looks like a bomb site but im getting there i think...feels quiet in the places that i managed to sort ie clothes underbeds just general drawer tops...soo scared at the thought of not finishing what i started xx🤲
Absolutely same here. We have lived in this house for going on 13 yrs have 3 kids. One went off to college but still have 2 younger ones home. I have started this process so many times. Right now my house looks like an episode of hoarders from all my massive piles. We did remove 5 large bags of clothes today but still have soooooo much more to do :(
Wow well done Millie, it was so satisfying to watch! You did a great job decluttering everything!👏
Thanks so much, Ingrid, you angel 💫
What a difference- it looks so open and relaxing!
it feels so much better 🙏🏼✨
I've done plenty of decluttering over the past couple of years and am still finding more things to declutter (items that no longer spark joy or are needed anymore).
18:11 - 19.02 I love what you said about is this something I want to bring into my future and yes it's sparks joy but they're a part of an old chapter. I've made a note of what you said as this is something to keep in mind. 😊
yay, I’m so glad you got a takeaway from this video! ✨ that moment was huge for me because it completely changed the way I viewed the process and the things I was choosing to keep and not keep up until that point.
And I love what you said about there’s always room for another declutter because I am aching to do another one really soon lol 👏🏼
Hi Millie! I loved your use of that other room, to make it your office/wardrobe :) I'd love to see you working on that other side, where your parents keep their stuff ;) just an idea.
thank you for the suggestion, but I wouldn’t dream of going through their mess. lol. my own is plenty 🤓🤟🏼
Really nice! While watching I had an idea that you could put your desk in front of the window of the small room to have sunlight and more open space around you while doing desk stuff.
My other idea was that you could move your bed to your small room and put a sofa at the back wall where your bed was standing. On the right side of the sofa ypu could you place a small table and a plant and maybe a basket.
In front of the window you could put your desk and next to your door your shelf with the books and stuff.
I'm not sure if it would fit but that was what came out when I was moving around your furniture in my mind :D
Amazing transformation in your room and the final thoughts were great! That's that: both our place and things should help us live our life, they aren't meant to drain our time and energy! Congrats!!!!
It's amazing, congratulations! This video is so inspiring, thank you! Hugs from Brazil
Life is so good after storing my parents in the garden shed ! 😂 I've been a minimalist for just over 20 years. I wouldn't be without my kindle tho. The only real books i have is my Bible and prayer book. Everything i own fits in my backpack. I use a sleeping bag and liner for sleep and sitting. The best thing is if i want to move i up and go as and when i want. I'm not tied to any one location. I think you did an awesome job and you should be proud of yourself. Well done young lady 👍
That sounds absolutely amazing! Books would definitely be hard for me to let go of completely - I’ve always been a massive bookworm and they bring me so much joy 💛 I love the idea of living fully out of a backpack though and not needing more than that - that is my ultimate goal for a chapter of my life that I will be writing sometime in the future 🙏🏼👏🏼
@@themilliethuesen_ Books are so essential especially at this time with covid19. I live in france and you'll probably know that Macron decided books are non essential. Nobody is perfect i guess. I was homeless for 8 years which is why i learned to live with so little. And on the essential items to help me survive. You go make ya dreams come true and never give up. Stay safe 👍
I have been a minimalist for many years. Every day, I find more to give away, recycle, or toss. I seldom buy anything new. I enjoy crafts and I get my craft supplies from thrift stores.
Tina
wow!! AMAZING!!! I am inspired to clean my room right now
Yay! You definitely should and please let us know how it goes! x
I'm even feeling called to do a second declutter myself.
Every time I go through my clutter, I find more and more that I am willing to part with...
Thank you so much for posting this video- I just moved into an apartment a few months ago with my mom after some pretty big life changes which really affected my mental health... sifting through all the memories of my childhood and focusing on my future has been messy, stressful, and extremely exhausting (especially with the insanity of 2020, where so much is uncertain). I’m inspired to declutter again, since even though I parted ways with a fair amount of my clothes before moving out of my childhood home, I know there’s much more to be looked through. You’ve inspired me to focus inwardly on the things which spark joy in my life versus the things I no longer need or benefit from. I want to hold onto my optimism and hope, and you’ve helped me gain the confidence to let go of negativity. (You’ve also inspired me to purchase a tapestry for my new bedroom! 🥰) Thanks again!
Amazing, Emma. Thank you so much for this lovely comment 💛 it can be hard to go through this process, but focusing inwards will definitely help you detach from a lot of the items in your life that no longer spark joy or are necessary to where you want to go in life ✨ wishing you the best!
@@themilliethuesen_ thank you!!!
Oh gosh. I am danish too, and I did not read the description at first. But had this weird feeling that this were in Denmark due to the room design and doors haha. I was right. Great video
Oh, that’s so funny and so crazy you just knew! Denmark has pretty easily recognizable layouts though, huh? I’m so glad you liked the video! 🙏🏼✨
Idk why but I LOVE these kind of roof?-rooms. I absolutely utterly love them and wish I had one as my bedroom.
it’s so nice and has such a good vibe, but furniture placement becomes slightly limited. However, sitting in front of that big window while reading a book is bliss ✨
I loooove this type of vids, go gurl❤️🔥❤️🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
If you transitioned back into having houseplants, I would totally love a video of you going out to buy some and how you take care of them etc. I’m an obsessed plant mom myself😆
Does this reflect my future? Does this reflect who I want to be? I love your extension of the joy sparking process. Great job!!
Thank you for sharing. I so appreciate your video and thoughts about items being something you’d like to in your future. That resonates and will be super helpful as I go through the process.
I keep all books. Even if i dont like the story i love the look of books theyre so pretty, i like the aesthetic of it and thats enough for me
re: your dog's fear of thunderstorms, try a Thundershirt! My old dog was terrified of storms, and the first time we put a Thundershirt on her she fell asleep during a storm. It was fantastic for her and I've recommended it to other people as well since. I was skeptical at first but they really do work!
Good job!!! Hope y'all are still safe and sane!
This made me so calm and motivated! :) Thank you!
Well done! you did good job👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
I really loved your video you have so much potential !!!
Wow! Bra jobbat 🙌
thank you so much, Elin 💛
Great video!! You did so great talking through your decisions too 💗
thanks, love! I’m glad you enjoyed it x
Thank you so much for the encouragement and motivation! I am going to start decluttering my home today. You've truly inspired me with this video. Thank you!!! 🙏 you've done an incredible job and your rooms look so comfortable abd give me good relaxing vibes. Enjoy!
Yes! That sounds like such a good idea 🙏🏼 I hope the process has been good so far, if you’ve already started your declutter. It clears up so much space in your external world and in your mind ✨
Very inspirational video. I have to get on my game with the de cluttering. Moved a few months ago and still 30% cluttered. 😟 Thank you.
ah, you’ll get through it at your own pace. put on your favorite music and have fun with it! xx
Love your new space. I found a felt similar when I did my declutter.
Love the desk went to the other room.
I love your video very inspiring thank you Millie!!!!
You did an outstanding job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you for sharing!!!!!
Nice music choices!!
I love this!!! I laughed so hard...I thought I was the only who enjoyed sitting on the floor and eating dinner there. Your room looks wonderful!
Club Dinner-on-the-floor 🙋🏼♀️
What a lovely sweet and natural girl! A pleasure to see.
Well done .like to hear your ideas and see you finished it
I like that you are going to put some plants in your room. Enjoyed your video as I have read Maria Kondu.
Good for you, now you need to motivate your parents to do it too 😁 good luck with that. Imagine how easy it would have been to move if you had done it prior...
oh absolutely! but that will be a long process hehe, hopefully we can do it one step at a time with my parents’ stuff 🙏🏼
Awesome video Millie
God!!! you.ve done a great job 😍😍😍
oh thanks, love! 🥰
New subscriber here.. 🙋♀️ this was very relaxing and satisfying.. thanks for sharing.. hopefully this will give me some motivation to start decluttering myself.. I haven't read the book but I seen it was on netflix.. I definitely wanna watch it.. 😊 sending love.. 🙌🖤

Du snakker virkeligt flot engelsk, Mille! 👏🏻
Hi I subscribed today November 8 2020 . Really enjoyed watching
Thank you 😊
yay, thank you, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video, love! x
@@themilliethuesen_ You are Welcome 💕🌻💕🙂
You remind me of Brie Larson. Also great job!👍💕
thanks, love! ✨
Love from Belgium , big kiss ;)
Unrelated but are you Danish or you just moved to Denmark? If you’re Danish then your English is so great! Your accent is almost undetectable.
I really liked this video! I might copy you and start my own TH-cam channel with one of these ☺️💗
dive in! you never know where a new beginning might take you 💛
I enjoyed a lot seing this video, it is so inspiring!
I’ve just enjoyed this video as well, thank you. I bet you have enjoyed having such a clear comfortable space during this time of spending more time at home this year! :-)
I’m wondering though… Where is your plant?! :-) I’m sure you have one or more by now :-)
Yesss, I’ll show you the plant in my next declutter video 🙏🏼 hehe
Wow that was alot but i have more to declutter so so going to take longer for me. 💕
It’s a huge project, especially if you’re decluttering an entire house. Start small, go category by category and don’t worry about any of the categories you’re not currently going through because that can be a bit overwhelming 🤍 I also really recommend watching the Netflix show Tidying up with Marie Kondo if you want to see full-house declutters. That show really helped me get ready to take on this task ✨ good luck decluttering!
nice job!
I think the kitchen is the worst and you luckily you didnt have to do that! I found Marie very inspiring
M
haha, oh yes I could imagine. I had so much kitchen stuff in moving boxes, and it was part of the footage that got lost, but going through an entire kitchen would be a huge project! Did you declutter your home and your kitchen? x
floor gang👏
I see you kept the wolf shirt though!
Never getting rid if the wolf shirt 🔥 hehe. It’s the best!
Good job you did well.
your beautiful Millie love you love Mollie
❤️
Heeeej! Har lige fundet din kanal. 😁
damn im ur 376th sub
Where’s your bed cover from? I love it
I bought it two years ago from Ikea ✨
Not everything will spark joy.
I liked! :)
yay, I’m happy to know that. x
so inspiring! I was wondering where your dress is from?
The red linen overalls I’m wearing on day one is from a small shop in Byron Bay, I unfortunately don’t remember the name of it. The pink silk kimono I’m trying on during the declutter is from Anjuna Rays - they’re repurposed silk saris made into dresses and kimonos ✨
I wasn’t sure which one you were talking about - let me know if I answered your question.
Did you find a way to get a plant in the room ?
yes, and I forgot to show it! I’ll introduce my plant babies in the next declutter 🌱
Beautiful u
I couldn't find an email listed for you and not trying to be rude but if you cut out animal products especially dairy I bet your acne will go away
Hey. I’m saying this with love in my heart only, but please reconsider if it’s constructive or necessary to leave comments like that on other people’s videos in the future - even when it’s coming from a place of love and concern, it never ever feels good to receive a comment like that.
You essentially just told me that I have a flaw that needs fixing, and it’s not your job to be the judge of that.
Another person’s skin, body and health is never your business. Just like you wouldn’t leave a comment stating that someone is overweight, commenting on another person’s skin without any idea of what their life + lifestyle looks like is kind of ignorant.
And also, I’ve been vegan for over 5 years, so if you’re concerned about my dairy consumption: no need.
Sending you good vibes.
