- In this weeks video I’m going to do a massive declutter and clean up of my living room. This room has become such a big mess and it’s been this way for a few months now.
It looks terrible and this is a room the whole family uses often so it’s time to get the clutter out and get it cleaned up ❤️
To watch my decluttering playlisg where I hand decluttered my entire home go here

Declutter with me/ extreme declutter/ cleaning motivation
For the rug I would measure it out with painters tape before you order it so you can see what it would be like. Also when you decorate or make it over move Clark’s crate to where the lamp and chair are. That way you don’t see it as soon as you walk in the front door.
Having a visual is a great idea. Thank you Tracy ❤️
DONNA JEAN, I have a bookmark collection, too!!! I put mine in a small "pencil box" that's about the size of a lunch box. My "dupes" go into a pencil cupholder for sending in cards to remind people I care about them. 🙂
Oh my gosh I’m telling her Edie. She is going to love hearing this ❤️
My tip for you would be to move the craft desk to the corner where the chair is and put the desk against the wall towards the hallway (not the wall where you put up the picture frame). And put the chair in the corner where the craft desk was. It will break up the wall and it will feel a lot airier.
Thank you for your tip ❤️
Hello from Estonia! ❤ Hi, Jodi! (Sorry if my English is bad) You can consider me new to your channel, but I have been subscribing muuuch longer than that and watching all the older videos of your journey to declutter your home up to this one. You have done a wonderful job! I love your house (wish I have something so nice and big (or even half of that size😅)) ❤. Me myself have been down this declutter\organize lane and absolutely loved it. I didn't have as much stuff as you had so the videos have been giving me more excitement than my own decluttering 😅
I have been wanting to address my thoughts on this room and dining room since I saw the first round of decluttering videos. It came to my head (and haven't been able to pass that thought) that switching the rooms would look better and more functional to have bigger grand dining room and office\art studio that can be closed and more private when needed. The office size would be more downsized to its needs and can still fit all EJ's toys too. Office and art nooks are always looking a bit more messy than other rooms with all the cords and little stuff so that change gives you also opportunity to just close the door when there's something in action.
The dining room now looks like it might be pretty cramped up with people sitting around table. But in the bigger room it would still have nice speace around even with longer table. I would leave armchair corner there and even add to the other side one aswell. Maybe even grandfather clock there. At least it fits better with all the wooden furnitures looks. And in Christmas season I believe you would have an option to but Christmas tree up in this room if you would like.
So, that's what's have been on my mind. I hope you see that comment and maybe this is helpful for your future plans.
❤
Thank you for sharing these processes so honestly with us. You have such a relatable, inspiring and uplifting nature. Sending you much love 💛
i LOVE Tom. It's my fave when he shows up in videos.
Tom is such a great cat 😻
I found your channel, this was the first episode that I watched!! I have went back & started binge watching the last several days from your first one & am loving your channel!!! Love your decluttering style!!!❤ Just subscribed!!!
Hi Lisa 🤗
Thank you so much ❤️
I am not tech savvy either but seems like you shut off your LAN connection there should be a button on the keyboard that looks like a cell phone tower. May have to hold down control while pressing it at the same time to turn it back on. Also like the chair where it is moved away from the corner not smushed up against the lamp but I would just angle it slightly in the spot it’s in. Also hubby’s good at helping hang things but I see he’s always measuring. It would have been ok to have the pic slightly to the right more over the chair not letting the lamp shade block it. It doesn’t have to be exactly half way between the corner and the window. But it was very nice of him to hang it with you. As always I love all of your videos always looking forward to the next one. So happy you said you found a rug. That will be nice for the kids to play on. I think 8 x 10 looks about right for the size. Desk is going to look great with the box down and baskets up for the cricut supplies. You always amaze me whenever you complete these tasks. And I also love how you talk us through it. Always so relatable.
Thank you so much Trish 🤗
Hello Jodi and fam. Almost everyone made an appearance today. Lol. Nice job Jodi as always.
Also forgot to mention about blankets. My granddaughter is obsessed with blankets lol. Both of us bought a sew sweet minky blanket about 4 years ago and we are so in love with them. I’ve never paid that much even for a whole bed set before. Haha. My hubs thought we were crazy but of course he said get it cause you never buy yourself anything. Well guess what , ever since he got really sick with covid 2 or 3 years ago that’s the only blanket he uses every single night ❤. I gladly gave it up for him to be back home with me.
Thank you Sharon 🤗
Oh I’ve never heard of that. Do I dare look into it 😂😂
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 prob don’t even look. Lol. Because if you get one, then Donna Jean, Viv and other daughter and both grand babies will need them too. Haha. Then, the next thing you know you’ll need a full-time job😂😂😂❤️
I sent you the link anyway on messenger
You are such an inspiration to me. I have adopted your method of decluttering, cleaning and decorating in bursts of time. I too am finding I am really enjoying my house now. May you be blessed for continuing to make videos and inspire us all.
Thank you so much Tammy 🤗
So happy my videos helped in any way ❤️
Clark looks like a stuffed animal!! He is just sitting so still supervising you! 😅🐾❤️
Yes 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awesome!! You have done a MARVELOUS job on your whole house!!
Thank you so much ❤️
You are killing it!!! You rock with the transformations!!!!
Thank you Holly ❤️❤️
Have you thought of moving your office stuff and Donna Jean's to the basement and turn your front room into a playroom? That's what I did (Nana of 9 grandbaby's) I even picked 1 wall and put 4 poster sized frames of things my 4 kids did when they were little. I used all of the other walls for pics of grand kids. I bought a kids table and some white storage stands for toys. then a tv for them up on the wall for cartoons (Netflix) I also put up a permanent swing open type gate to keep my dog out of there. I made it a rule all toys have to stay in the playroom. So many cute things now a days to decorate playrooms. The best part is the kids help pick up before they leave and you don't have to stress when people come over because it's a playroom. Just a thought. I love your house!
Awe 9 grandbabies 😍 that’s so awesome Sharon and great use of your space ❤️❤️
no matter what type of video it is, you always motivate me to go clean something!
Yay I love that ❤️❤️❤️
Always fun to hang out with you Jodi.
If you have an old crib side and a way to secure it so the dog can't knock it down, they make great baby gates. We have a Lane cedar chest/bench near the stairs that we can slid the crib side behind and we hook a dog collar to the other end and snap it to the railing support. Easy unlatch and move for anyone but toddlers. Baby gates are so temperamental!
Oh great idea! Thanks for sharing ❤️
We don’t have any old cribs unfortunately
Whoot Whoot for more decluttering! I really want to redecorate/change things around but I haven't....yet. I need to start and declutting would certainly help! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
I thought Clarke was a stuffed animal in the background 😂😂 He is sooo adorable 😍
He does look like a stuffed animal 🥰
Hi! I so enjoy your videos. I am working to declutter our laundry room which is also our storage room. I have a ton of paperwork to sort through!! Thanks for the motivation and doing things in small chunks of time helps me too!
Good luck, I need to go through my old papers too, it’s going to be a big task.
@@snapdragon2441 For sure, good luck to you too!!
I hope you don’t mind, I shared this video with my therapist. I listen to you while I’m decluttering my home. ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much for this!
Hi Dawn 🤗
Nope I don’t mind at all. Yay I’m so happy to hear you are decluttering ❤️
Thank you Jodi - I felt motivated to deep clean my house ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your channel and the decluttering.
Yay Donna Jean!!!!
I love your laugh!!! Great job on your room. ❤️
Thank you Paige ❤️
What a cute channel! I love your personality. 😊 I'm struggling with decluttering and cleaning. This is very motivating. Love it ❤
Wow! Great transformation!! I know you feel better! And now let the doorbell ring! 😃 Of course, you know what they say- if the house is clean, nobody is coming over! 😅 Organizing and boxing up donations over here. Always. Have a blessed week! 💝
Amber isn’t that the truth 😂
You could use an old shoe box to store the bookmarks to keep them safe and together
Great job, can’t wait to watch you decorate!
Thanks Jennifer ❤️
Girl!!! I just said Yes!!! And my hubby was like what 😂. So excited!! 🤍 your channel 🤩
Oh my gosh that’s so funny Hannah 😂😂
Applicants you showing up every week friend ❤️❤️

Knocked down the gate he was determend to get up there where the girls was so cute he was scared if stairs not now hes a brave one now i think hes adorable n he had to get rid of fear so he figured he better get brave to be able to go up the steps so he can be up there with every one i like ur content n im happy i found ur channel looking forward to more
Thank you Gena 🤗
Jodi, why don't you find an area in the Basement where you can turn into an Office for yourself? All your products are down there, and you can get another file cabinet for your Couponing, YT Channel and Hone Paperwork and add shelves. You can also take all Business information from your kitchen cabinet and dining room and put it all in one place.
Thanks for the suggestion Reba 🤗
Declutering modus - that's a real thing. It´s so nice how you explain the way you did different to this time.
Thank you Melanie ❤️
Hello. Thanks so much for sharing your home.
I started in my bedroom nightstand . Omg the stuff had in there. I took your advice and just worked at things in small increments of time. It works . Next, under my bathroom sink. Wish me luck.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yay Nancy those so awesome! Those small areas add up ❤️❤️
I truly love seeing Donna Jean in your videos She is such an amazing daughter you have My granddaughter has a huge collection of blankets and always wants more Thank you
Thank you so much Cindy 🤗🤗
These kids and their blankets 😂
Jodi everything looks so nice. U have come so far.ty for sharing.
Thanks so much Norma ❤️
I’m tackling lounge at the moment too. Starting in one corner and working my way round. Slow but sure progress.
Hi Jodi! Wonderful job! I'm the same way when I declutter....it all gets donated because I don't want to take the time to sell or consign items. I just want them gone! Donna Jean, excellent job on decluttering and rolling those blankets!
Barbara yes! There are so many times I think “I could make money on this” but then I know it would sit in my house for longer. Not worth it ❤️
The room looks great! You got rid of a ton of stuff. Can't wait to see the makeover. You inspired my goal this year. I'm going to declutter every room. It's a process. Finally finished the first room yesterday. It feels so much better already. We did do a little at a time. Now on to the next room!
Oh Julie that is so awesome!! Way to go my friend 👏👏👏 a whole room done is a huge accomplishment ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Thank you, Jodi!!
So satisfying to watch your videos! keep up the hard work🤍🤍
Thank you Reese ❤️
Such a good job! I love taking things out of the house🙂!
Nancy it is truly like a weight being lifted ❤️
It looks fantastic. The storage cube boxes work good for the cricut things. I am so excited for you. Hi Donna Jean 👋🏻💚👋🏻💚👋🏻💚
Thank you Sondra ❤️
The room looks fabulous. Well done on all the donations 👏 Oh I guessed Clarke would master the stairs which leads to the cat food, oh the fun of remembering to put away the food. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏🙏💪👍🤞💐🦮🐈⬛🐈
Hi Mary 🤗
Yes it was quick and now I wish he wasn’t climbing the stairs 😂
The pink and blue could have also been from old printer cartridges.
Ahhh that might be it Sharon. I do put them up when they are empty until I take them to get recycled
The room looks amazing. One small suggestion. Flip Clark’s cage to the other side so when someone come through the front door they see the chair and lamp instead of his kennel. Great job lady!!
Thanks April 🤗
If I decide to get rid of the chair I probably would. But otherwise I don’t mind that being visible 🥰
You did a great job cleaning up!! The room looks so much better 😊
Thank you Elaine ❤️
hey Jodi. Have you thought about giving your kid a pinboard where she could display her bookmark collection? I just imagines how cute that would be to hang on the wall 🙂 Edit: I think overall a pinboard over her art table so she can hang her art would be lovely!
Thank you for your suggestion 🤗🤗
Just love watching your videos. Clark is a doll
Thank you Karol 🤗
Wow! It looks amazing ❤️
When you get the rug it will be a lot more cozy 🥰
Clarke is cute, so as Tom. I hope they get along soon ❤️
Thank you Blanca 🤗
Me too ❤️
Another fabulous video.❤️
Thank you Soroka ❤️
Awww, sooo glad Clarke isn't scared anymore!! ❤💯❤🐶🐶
❤️❤️❤️
Another great decluttering video...
Thank you Lola ❤️
I cleaned up my clothing chair in my bedroom, and have been redoing where I store sewing stuff and hopefully starting on my storage room soon. Thinking it will turn into a workroom/pantry.
Wow! The room looks fantastic.
Thank you ❤️
Great job
Thank you Judene ❤️
Something I did to help my decluttering Is get a fairly decent size basket and it sits in a couple hot spots in my house and I fill them up with things that go to other rooms instead of having it just all sit out everywhere and then once a day every few days I pick up the basket and put the basket away. Because the basket is pretty and works in the rooms it doesn’t look bad if it’s full and it makes it look tidier in rooms. I love that hack that someone taught me. I have implemented it just a few weeks ago so that’s my new decluttering thing. I also have a basket that sits near the stairs so I bring it downstairs every once in a while. I hate taking multiple trips so I finally the basket and now it’s just a habit. If I’m going down I grab it haha. I look forward to seeing what you do with your living room.
That’s awesome Kayla 👏👏
When you find something that works for you it just falls into place better ❤️
Hey, Hi & Hello! 👋🏾 Thanks for the motivation!
❤️❤️❤️
Loved the video today ❤
Thank you Karen ❤️
Oh, I love listening to your accent, Jodi! Lol. 💖🌻🐾
🥰🥰🥰
Hi Jodi, thanks to you ladies on YT I decided to declutter my basement, it’s looking great, my local donation store loves me.😂
Yay that’s awesome Kay 👏👏👏
You did great…😊❤️
Thank you Francine ❤️
Great job. It looks so good. I'm living my life thru you vicariously. Lol I need to declutter my house. It's all cleaned up and straightened up. Just need to declutter cabinets and closets and the attic! I need to spring clean I guess. Lol. But I babysit my 16 month old grandaughter 4 days a week. Then I'm too tired. 🤪 i love every single minute of it as I know you know what I mean. Can't wait til your next video.
Oh Tara yes I know how exhausting and rewarding it is to spend time with grandbabies. You just enjoy your time with her ❤️❤️❤️
Nice Job Jodi💕
Thank you Ta 🤗
Gosh amazed to see all the snow outside your window! we have 'spring' in the Uk with Snowdrops, crocus and daffodils starting to bloom.
Oh gosh we aren’t there. Just got done with another bought of ice 🤦♀️
Yep my house took about 2 yrs!
If I may can I suggest for your CRICUT maybe get a three tiered cart from JoAnn’s Fabric, IKEA or Walmart? They have tops to put on the top of cart for the machine and use the others trays for your supplies. That way you could roll it in your room where you want to craft and then store it in corner etc.. I recently got one for my JOY CRICUT and bought a top on ESTY for my little JOY and my vinyl rolls are in the shelves and so on. I put a older embroidered dresser scarf as a cover so it won’t get dusty! ☺️
Thank you ❤️❤️
I had a bookmark collection too. I think i saw puppy smooches while vacuuming
You definitely did. Clarke gets so many kisses he’s probably sick of it 😂
Yes I’m back again 😁 those half wall planters could be renovated into small built in bookshelves. I don’t know if you have the budget for that but it’s an idea.
Yes that would look really good ❤️❤️
I did it differently, I wrote down what I wanted to keep and trashed everything else, so after 2 years and 24 rounds, my problem was the trash money, I opted for the landfill as I have no car to donate and selling is a hassle.
Mostly it took just over a week to get the month round ready.
Now I do it every month to declutter to get it back to how it was and it's mostly boxing I have got during the month, cat food, and so on so I do that at the end of every month now but seldom get anything out now as if I bring something in such as a pan one has to go out
The golden thing for me is if I want to buy something I make sure I can't use something I have already to avoid bringing in something and nothing big.
Aim for everything off the floor then move onto the sides shelves and so on.
Hi, I enjoy watching you clean.🎉❤😊😅
Thank you Joan 🤗
Great job!!!
Thank you Melissa ❤️
You did wonderful job...💘🖤💖
Thank you Vicki ❤️
Jodi, i’m continually inspired by you. Oh, and by the way, I love the chair that you put in front of Donna Jean’s desk! That is one gorgeous chair. I don’t recall seeing it before. Your whole place looks amazing.
Thank you Debra 🤗
We’ve had that chair in here for years. It is a beautiful chair ❤️
You crack me up!
Really enjoyed this and your advice for others… I’ve heard you say many times that you don’t do your decluttering all in one shot, which I think is great advice! But I do think you owe a lot of your success to your consistency, which I am regularly impressed by. I hope you give yourself credit for doing something towards decluttering/simplifying/prettying your space each and every week. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, but you gotta keep taking bites!!
Thank you so much. Yes for sure consistency is the only way I got this far ❤️
Jodi, I'm so excited I almost can't take it!!! Lol.
Hi Carolyn 🤗
I know I say this all the time but thank you again for a great video.!!!
Thank you so much Kristy ❤️❤️
I just subscribed and can't stop binge watching.😻😸😺 Love the cats. I have 3. My beagle named Bella died in Jan. She was 14 yrs old. So I relate to the loss of your Great Dane. Love your new dog.
Awe Gayle I’m so sorry for loss of Bella! Sending you big hugs 🤗
Great job! Love seeing Donna Jean! Aren’t daughter wonderful?😊❤
They sure are ❤️
You can always get some cute duct trap and cover the box to keep your cricket stuff. I rearranged my living room and put all my grandson toys in his mom's old bed, he only comes 2 days a week. I just bring them out when he comes
That’s awesome Alora ❤️
Love to watch your vlogs, your daughters are very pretty. ❤
Thank you ❤️
I enjoy watching all the progress you have made decluttering. On your laptop, double check to see if the "airplane mode" is on. I accidently hit that key and it took me hours to figure out that the wifi was blocked with just that.
Oh my gosh thank you. I didn’t even know there was an airplane mode. I’ll check that Dawn ❤️
Looks great
Thanks Sharon ❤️
Book Mark Collection! I am dying! “If I never need a bookmark I know where to go. No!” Love it❤️❤️❤️
She is so funny 😂
I'm with Donna Jean
I love love love blankets!
My hubby gives me grief about it.
Donna don't let them take your blankets🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Teresa I’m not touching her blankets 😂
And I buy her a new one every Christmas so her collection is growing 🤣
Luv it
❤️❤️
Hi Jodi👋
My decluttering for this week were my fridge, I clean the center 2 shelves and then had to go take a nap. 😆
Then I did just the bottom of it's freezer the next day. After that I did that freezer top shelf. Consolidated all the bits bags into 1 vege bag to add to rice or soups. Found enough bags of scraps to do another gallon of chicken broth for soups, rices, potatoes or just a pick me up hot cup of broth instead of coffee.
Edie how have you been feeling?
Finding enough to do a gallon broth sounds wonderful!
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I'm doing good. Broth is easy as I use crockpot. Put in chicken back + neck from whole chicken or just a really large thigh bone in skin on for flavor, peels or not used parts ( not moldy or rotten) from garlic- onions- celery- carrot peels & ends-parsley stalks or leaves that I've frozen in gal zipper bags. Then add water to top rim. Put on high overnight. If started at suppertime top off water just before bed. In morning. Turn off. Put colander in large bowl & tong out everything leaving most of broth behind. Ladle broth through fine mesh seive over funnel. Lid up . After 1 hour in colander, squeeze liquid out of all the parts. Put squeezed parts into trash or compost. Take broth in bowl & repeat to jar up. Broth can be used immediately or fridged & used within 5 days. The fat will rise on top & you can remove but when reheating broth you will find flavor in that fat. I use mine in lots of things
I'm doing better. It's a process. I'm finding it takes longer as I get older. 😆
Just recently came across your channel. I absolutely love your personality!
Hi Barbara 🤗
Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks for sharing 👍 love your videos and love your animals ❤️ I just got a new cat that someone threw out I took him to the vet he was very sick and had to remove one eye and I love him so much. 😢 my other to cats live him so much. Thanks for loving your cats and dogs like me I have 3 rescuer dogs too .thanks again. Love seeing your family in your videos.
Oh that poor kitty!! I’m so glad you found it and got it the vet ❤️❤️
Hi I am a recent subscriber from England. I'm off work this week after having an eye operation. I have been binge watching your videos and really enjoying it, without feeling guilty . Keep up the fantastic job you're doing 🧐💕
Hi Pauline 🤗
Thanks so much for being here! I hope your eye feels fast and you feel better soon 🙏
Thank you Jodi. I'm doing well. I keep seeing things that need cleaning that I didn't see before I had my cataracts done 🤣
I love Clark!
🥰🥰🥰
Really good job 👏 👍
Thank you ❤️❤️
Hi Jody, sometimes Microsoft Windows can really help you when there is an issue like you are describing. When you have your laptop open, check the bottom right hand side of your task bar and click on the network icon. You may be able to play around with that and perhaps even click on the troubleshooting option. That may help.
Thank you Julie ❤️
Oh my, I started decluttering 3 weeks ago in my kitchen and laundry room. Left myself with 2 empty cupboards and 1 empty drawer. Now, I need to get stuff to give away or donate off my dining room table. ☺
That’s awesome Karen! Congratulations 👏👏
I love that dog💕
❤️❤️❤️
Hello, Hello right back at you!!!
I love Gus….and the girls!!!
Nice job Donna Jean!!!
Hi Tammy ❤️
Great Vudeo
hi from Ireland.. love your channel.. you made me laugh about you keys and cords.. its the same in my house. My husband wants to keep them "just in case" but they are going.
Yes we hold on to those things for years and never find what they go to 😂🤷♀️
Oh how I wish I could declutter, I haven’t any ambition! Retired and oh so tired, lol! It’s only me and my fur baby but it’s so hard to get rid of things that are very nice things, some I haven’t even used yet! I dunno! I’m so stuck! In a nutshell, had a home with ex, lost it, got divorced, now I’m in an apartment with all these things AND I still got rid of lots of things when I moved! 30 yrs. Of accumulating, ugh, almost 4 yrs here and didn’t accomplish much at all! I’m stuck! 😩. Thanks for letting me vent! 🤪😂
Jennifer decluttering is hard! But oh so freeing ❤️
I’m glad you don’t force your kids to declutter. My mom did and now I have a hard time letting go of things even when it’s beyond time to let go of them 😂
Oh yeah I definitely don’t want to make it harder when she’s older. I have found if I leave her be she starts getting rid of things on her own ❤️
