You won't believe this transformation! Linen closet overhaul! Declutter with me! Anti thrift haul

Welcome back to another Slow Fashion Friday video where I am decluttering my home & my reselling business, one trash bag at a time! This is week 3 in my series! I am tackling the dreaded linen closet! This was a huge transformation! We’ll also be organizing more shoes in my inventory!! Each week I am one step closer to my clutter-free goals! I hope you enjoy it!
I'm on a roll. Took a trunk load to GW yesterday and have 3 bags today ready to go. I tell myself if you can do it, so can I.
Wow! Lori, I am truly impressed and inspired. Thank you.
Is everything gone. I take blankets and linens for Fresh Start in Hudson. I wish I caught this earlier. Even table runners and anything you can use to set up a household. If you ever want me to pick stuff up, or whatever works. ❤❤❤
I am loving this series Lori. Doing great!!! I just saw that you took everything to Savers, lol Oh well for the future
Hi Lori. What a fun decluttering video. Why not donate your unwanted towels and blankets to the humane society or other animal rescue. They are always in need.
Any stained/ragged towels and sheets would be welcome at some local animal shelters--a really good place to donate them.
I donated several sheets and towels to the SPCA right before my last major move.
Yes definitely!
@@bethb7965😊
The fleece blankets would be great for an animal shelter!♡
That's a great idea! Towels too!
i was thinking the same!
OMG when you make up your mind to do something, you follow through. Decluttering takes a lot of discipline and you've got it. Good job.
Girl.... look at you go! I always seem to get a bit of ADHD when I start decluttering bouncing from one project to another and get so overwhelmed. You have got to be feeling so proud of yourself with the dedication you have with this process. You could donate your stained towels/sheets to a local humane society/animal shelter or a vet clinic. Bravo, bravo, bravo on the closet reveal!! Sweet job!
You may have already thrown out the stained or torn towel and blankets, but if not, the animal shelters usually love taking my old towel and blankets...stained and torn or not. Way to commit to the decluttering. Give yourself a high five! You have earned it!
I’ve been “shedding” as well and donated 15 big boxes to my local thrift store. When i dropped them off, one of the volunteers there asked if i was moving!! Lol but really shows how much i buy when the truth is I don’t need so much stuff.
As I hold my newborn and my oldest is 4, I’m tearing up at the idea of cleaning out the house when they leave! You’re doing such a good job. A wonderful mom you are, your kids are lucky to have you ❤
So I’m watching and talking to you like I’m right there, and when you asked what you have been doing for the last 20 years I yelled, “Raising kids!” Clearly I need more people to talk with (ha ha) but you make it feel like we are right there with you as you declutter. And we are-cheering you on.
You are doing such a amazing job. Something I have found helps with sheets is I put the sets in one of their pillow cases. Much easier to keep together. Just a suggestion.
love that
I also do that.
Great idea!
My goodness, there was so much stuff in your linen closet, I don't know how it all fit!
What a great tip! Thanks!
I love your verbal visual of peeling a layer of the onion at one time! The sentiment can make you cry like peeling an onion too! Thank you for your motivation, I have more years on you. You can only imagine the saturation point!
Lori, I love how real real you are with your house and ready to clear the stuff! My linen closet looks just like your "before", I will now follow your direction and make it over! Thanks for your great videos and inspiration!
My mouth literally dropped open when you showed us your linen closet. Keep the best and keep it minimal. You will feel so much better.
You worked SO HARD! It's incredible how one project turns into another so quickly (towels under the sink). Great job!
Animal shelters would greatly appreciate your stained towels and rugs. ❤️
Lori, first I want to say that I think it is incredible that you open up your journey of decluttering to us. It takes courage to open up as you have. So maybe it is not J. Gaines type of style but it is more of a reflection of what most of us have at home. Like you said real life! I think that the comforter came out gorgeous and that closet wow! great improvement! So way to go! we are cheering for you ...I know it motivates me to tackle things myself!
I am so impressed with that Closet transformation!! I LOVE these Friday videos!!!!!
For the towels, sheets, pillows and blankets that aren't fit to be donated, any animal shelter would be thrilled to have them. They are always in need.
Lori, you are so wonderfully down to earth. I so look forward to watching and learning from you. Thank you for sharing.❤
Animal shelters love towel, sheet, and blanket donations of all kinds for fur babies!
You should consider donating the stain towels and sheets to the animal shelter
You can always donate towels to the animal shelter! They don't care if they're stained! ❤
When I worked at a thrift store we saved linen that we couldn't sell for a lady who came from a dog rescue a couple times a month.
Oh Lori, you are so relatable. Thank you for all the reselling experiences you share and for your personal journey with clutter, letting go of stuff and being at the empty nest stage of life.
I am not a contemporary of yours. I am much (MUCH😊) older than you are but I am at a similar stage of life, having started a family very late, but so much of what you share resonates with me. Your You Tube videos are so informative and helpful to me in my post retirement fledgling reselling journey and ongoing decluttering of my life. I have to say, you’re a natural on camera as well, very professional! And it’s apparent that you’re a lovely person.
I’ve only recently found you, so I have a few years of content to catch up with 😉. Thank you for putting this helpful content out there. Reselling is helping the planet, no matter what the naysayers say and it’s helping me personally.
Just be you Lori. We like you. I Love everything you're doing. It's so fun for me.
Love, love, love the Slow Fashion Friday videos! You’re doing great!
Thank you because now me and my family are decluttering our home. Real life is more relatable. So proud of you and thankful
You are exactly what I’m looking for at the right time! I am looking to declutter AND minimize AND clear out and reorganize my inventory! Thank you for giving me some inspiration!
I was getting as excited as you were as you threw them in the donate pile. You hit the nail on the head… this is reality, not the Pinterest look and it means soooo much more and looks even better. I’m tackling one area today, have many that I need to but one will get overhauled today! Thanks Lori❤
I totally agree!
The bedspread looks like Bates of Maine. I love them.
Absolutely brilliant to make a public pledge that you have to deliver on. It really keeps your feet to the fire and makes sure you're going to have a beautifully organized house and probably increase your subscriber base as well since this is so compelling. Good work.
I understand the guilt of throwing this away, even if they’ve been well loved are may be stained / torn.
H&M I think still has a recycling program where you can bring in any kind of textile and they send them off to be recycled. I used to work there and it’s a legit program!
Sometimes it’s hard to make another errand when getting rid of stuff, but if it helps ease the guilt of throwing things out, it may be worth it!
I’m loving this series! 💖
I love these Friday videos! I do decluttering about once a year. Closets, drawers, kitchen stuff, everything. I also empty an entire closet to declutter. The only way!
The stained towels and blanket may be able to be donated to an animal shelter. I cleaned out my linen closet, smaller and fewer family members than you. It is a good feeling. I allowed myself to keep one or two sheet sets, blankets, etc. from my grown son's childhood, even though there are not yet grandchildren on the horizon. Great job!
Your local animal shelter would love those throw blankets
Please consider donating towels, hand-towels, and wash rags to animal shelters. I volunteer and we always need towels, even discolored or stained are fine.
I am loving the declutter videos. Since your first one, I have started going through my unlisted inventory. At the moment I have six boxes of hardgood items that I’m donating. I have not even begun to tackle the clothes part of my inventory yet. That one is going to be a job for sure 🤦♀️I know you probably already got rid of those stained towels, but I know around here animal shelters will ask for used towel donations. They’ll use them for the animal baths and their messes. Also, I know folks were asking you about why you donate stained items. There’s a lot of people that I personally that shop at thrift stores for work clothes and they don’t mind a few stains because they’re going to get ruined on their job anyways. I have a friend who is a house cleaner and she shops for all of her work clothes at thrift stores because they get ruined on the job. Lori, your videos are helping me stay motivated to get organized in my home and my reselling business 😊 Thank You!
So motivating! You go girl! That giant curtain with the beautiful black pattern, would be a beautiful outer shower curtain! Tension rod with clip rings! 🤩🤩🤩
Bless you Lori for putting your progress out there. Well Done !
You are absolutely my Hero!! I get anxiety and overwhelmed with trying to declutter too!! I have baby stuff and school projects oh my!!! I adore you for powering through. Your home space is looking amazing ❤
Great job , Lori! You’ve inspired my to tackle my kids closets. I have dread it for awhile. I use to be better and do it about every six months! But I got a chunk done this weekend…with you by my side! 😄
Loved this!!! Would have LOVED to get a video of Jay seeing the “after” shot of the linen closet. Way to go!!
I am loving this series of videos. I love organizing and decluttering content and it is so fun to watch you go through this transformation! You must feel lighter and lighter with every bag you fill 🙂
Scrapbook photos that have the sheets in them and then let them go. It is hard to keep everything from our kids and still have space in our homes. Hard process but organized spaces feel so great 😊
Great job Lori! I must be rare because I only keep one set per bed. Wash and put back on. I can’t believe how much came out of that closet! I use old towels and such as rags for messes or for my dogs kennel
I absolutely feel what your feeling Lori! Amazing job downsizing. Welcome to the minimalist world! 😊
I donate items that are in good condition even IF they have a small stain. Many people up cycle parts of clothing for crafts and sewing items! Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m 76 years old, a reseller on eBay since January, and I just staged a reselling booth, my first, and what fun! Loved your show today…you seem more real than ever before. And sharing the real is such a compliment to us. Thank you.
You can donate the blankets/towels to the animal shelter or clinic-they always are in need of them😊
That is my linen closet is it a Mass girl thing? I just decluttered my crazy jewelry collection. Guess what I can live with my wedding set, my mom's, my pearls from my gram, my watch and the David Yurmans from my mom, stud earrings what else does a girl need? It is time to let someone else love this "stuff". Thanks for the great inspiration. xoxox Marie
Old towels are great for animal shelters, vets and grooming salons!!
Wow! Amazing progress! Thanks for keeping it so real. You are a true inspiration,!
Great job Lori! You're really pushing through & it will get easier every time!
I loved this video!! Very helpful for me!!! Thank you!
👏welcome to the decluttering club.
44 minute video, and I still want more! Loving the decluttering so much!
I just donated a bunch of old sheets and towels to my vet ❤❤❤. They always need these kinds of donations
You can donate old towels and blanket to Animal rescue or shelters...
Happy to see you are going to TRAVEL & when my son went to college i got a puppy. Meeka , glad you got yourself a LUMPY proved to be a good distraction.. THE ORGANIZING IS REALLY INSPIRING ME to clean the amount of nice wool coats,leather jackets that I have is NUTS
Yep, clean one area at a time. Makes it doable. Good for you.
When you said Hoboken, I haven’t been back home in 23 years. I miss my town.
You girls are so funny,great work team, you did great job, I have two set of sheets for each bed and extra pillows cases and keep the sets together 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love your videos. I started reselling just over a year ago when I was moving from my home of 25 years and packing, I started listing things I didn't need anymore. Now over a year later I am still going through boxes and most things are being listed for resell or being donated. Can't believe how much I accumulated in 25 years. Keep up the good work!
I’m so proud of you. I feel like my mom’s house needs to get a good cleaning also. She will fight us all the way. But she does not need 4 closets of clothes and shoes. ❤❤❤❤
I love it all. Very real and so satisfying. Great job can’t wait to see more.
Really inspiring!!!! Im slowly working on weeding things out from my home.
FYI: animal shelters and rescues will gladly take donated towels and blankets - and they don't care about stains.
Nevermind Joanna, these WERE incredible reveals! Awesome job, Lori!! 🤎🩶🤍
We've all been there!!! No judgement here!!!
Whenever I declutter a great space, I keep going back and looking at it!!
Lori, I am really proud of you! I know it must be hard to let go of the things you've had in your home while you raised your children. For 23 years, I lived in a very small home under 900 sq. feet. I learned to purge closets, drawers, etc.regularly because there just wasn't room to keep everything. Our home is more than twice that size now, but I still enjoy going through our things and donating what we don't need. I love the space it creates. I want to thank you for mentioning the Tote Scan app! I had never heard of that before. I'm in the middle of reorganizing my eBay/PM inventory, and that is going to be an awesome way to use a number system (already in progress with that) within the Tote Scan system. Thank you so much!
My Vet takes blankets and towels for the pets.
You can donate stained blankets and towels etc. to an animal shelter or vet clinic.
It’s time to upgrade your closet. Wooden shelves. Buy new sheets, towels etc. you work so hard. Treat yourself to new basics. Sentimental over something - take a photo and donate. You are inspiring me xo
I would recommend keeping a couple of those soft blankets for Lumpy. Dogs LOVE soft blankys. Also animal and homeless shelters could probably use the linens if you're donating.
Animal shelters dont mind stained linens either. Towels, blankets, sheets...
oooooh and your nails too! oooh la la!
A great real life declutter
Lori, I love this video concept! It's such a good idea, and really motivating (though have I started organizing anything yet? Nooo. But I will!). Taking small sections and focusing on that is a great way to go and keep yourself from being overwhelmed. Thanks for sharing your home with us! ❤
You are doing such a great job! I can just feel your relief - it comes through the screen!
Everything looks absolutely wonderful!!! I am definitely inspired by this transformation and I know many will resonate with this as well! So delighted to see how satisfied you are with the results. Thanks for sharing! Loving this series =)
I store all of my guest room/extra bed linens in larger zip lock bags with a dryer sheet after they’ve been washed so they 1) stay together as a set and 2) always stay fresh and clean when I need to use them. Everyone who stays at my house always thinks I’ve just washed all the sheets right before they got there because they smell so fresh and clean 😂
This is such a great tip!! Thank you Beth! 😘
I love your videos and I’m so happy for you with your decluttering! I’ve been decluttering for two years - it is quite a process, but well worth it! I wanted to mention that local veterinarians or animal shelters would probably love your old towels! This may sound silly, but it’s always so nice to see your new videos pop up, it’s like an old friend stopped by to visit. PLUS, we get to see Lumpy ❤❤!!
Happy Friday Junior Beautiful Lori 🥰💚 Congratulations To You For All Your Wonderful Progress 👏🏽👏🏽🥳🥳 Thank You For Taking Us Along With You 🙌🏽💕🌻
Thanks for inspiring me to purge my linens! I for years have extra sheet sets and towels for a vacation cottage, and also the pottery barn sheets and comforter of my daughter's I couldn't bear to get rid of. I can't wait to get started when I get home from Maine!
Girl it's fine, this is real life don't worry about it. I was at the thrift to donate 3 more boxes. Keep up the good work.🥰
Keep donating old and stained linens and towels! People have other uses for them! I know of at least one sewing charity that makes "ugly blankets" for the unfortunate people that live on the streets. They form sort of a bedroll that is warm and cozy out of the old blankets and quilts. Animal charities always need old towels. They don't care about stains! Old textiles don't need to go to the landfill! Your closet looks amazing!
This is so inspiring! I'm like you and need to do things like this a little at a time, otherwise it's totally overwhelming. Thanks for taking us on your journey!
Lori, you are doing a great job !
Living in NE I normally declutter every season. I watched your video this morning and it motivated me to organize my bedroom drawers once again. Filled a bag for Savers
I need to do exactly what you are doing, and get rid of all the clutter! Thank you for the inspiration! I am motivated to make this happen!
Hi from Australia, Wow needed to see this video. Love you are so normal and not over the top like other people, looks like i start with the linen closet. Thanks getting me ready to watch all your videos. C
Not sure if you have memory totes for each of your kiddos. I have three for each child. Mine are 29, 25, and 12. Over the years I have kept sentimental things such as baby blankets, grade cards, stuffed animals etc. Then when they want it ( my green children haven’t asked yet) I will have them to treasure or share with their own families. You did an amazing job this week and love your videos!❤️
I decluttered my linen closet this week too! I only saved the specific sets for the beds and the favorite blankets. The pitfall is that now I want to replace it with fresh shiny new. I am resisting the urge!
It's so hard getting rid of those items that have so many memories.
I feel you on the donating stained items...while it doesnt guarantee they wont end up in landfill, I have soo much guilt about throwing stuff away. if you donate it, people could purchase for loose fabric for re-work and DIY projects!
Love your videos . This one gave me anxiety . It was A LOT . My husband would absolutely divorce me . Just get rid of it ! Don’t let the sentiment be an excuse to keep things for 20 years . Your kids / grandkids won’t care about those sheets or blankets
I love the declutters! I def recommend putting all the sentimental items into one box and labelling it, even if it still lives in the linen closet, at least they're out of the way so it's easy to find the sheets you use on a day to day basis. Over time you can revisit the sentimental boxes and see what you're ready to let go of, but it's easy because it's all contained :)
Love this. My closets look like your. I just got my living room straightened up today. This makes me feel like hitting my linen closet. I got more junk than I know what to do w it. Love what u are doing and sharing w us.
You have inspired me to go thru my linen closet. Thank you for sharing your journey with us❣️
GREAT job!
Awesome progress! When I declutter the more "difficult" items, I find I come back to it the next day or so. It's like my brain has to let go and then it's so much easier to put it in the donate bag/box.
(Kitchen items are my clutter issue.)
