I am 69 years old, and my wife, Tonia, died in 2022. To avoid depression, I sorted through hundreds of our items and threw out so many items. For example, I threw out all of Tonia's clothing, except for a few items with good memories. I am still not totally done organizing. Organizing items, such as mementos, gives me more to do, to avoid depression. Thanks for this video. Hugs.
Oh gosh I’m so sorry for your loss! 😭🙏🏻 you’re so right, decluttering is a great way to stay busy through difficult times and can also be so therapeutic too 💖🌸 Sending tons of love and hugs! 💕✨💕
I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw you decluttering your kids old baby toys - I honestly thought I was the only person in the world who has bins of old toys 😆 but you’re spot on, I haven’t opened those bins once in 15 years and they’re just taking up space. Now I know where I’m decluttering next, thanks for the motivation ❤
Your “before” garage looks a lot cleaner than mine right now! Your video is so inspiring. My cluttered garage is definitely a downer for me. I would live to park my car in my garage again! I think if I cleaned everything out, like you said, I would have a hard time putting stuff back in it! Thank you for sharing! 💜
aww thank you so much for the kind comment! The clutter in there was such a heavy burden on me too but it feels SO GOOD to finally have it cleared out! You’ve got this!! 🙌🏻🎉💃🏼 Glad this could help and SO glad you’re here! 😘💖🌸
I kept two bins of toys our sons (now 42 and 38) played with when they were little. Now, their children play with them. I have the original fisher price, little tykes, blocks, Lincoln logs, matchbox cars, and Lego’s. It’s been fun watching the grands playing with the same toys as their dads. 🥰
Awww that’s SO sweet that you held on to those for the grand babies! 🥰🥰 So funny cause my mother in law also gave us a bunch of my husbands old baby toys, once they weren’t getting played with anymore she took them all back, and has them now stored for the great grand babies 😂🥰
The older we get, the LESS we want or need. I just figured this, get rid of it now or one day our kids are going to have to do it for us when we're dead and gone. I've been decluttering the last 4 years and it feels so good!
YES!!👏🏻 totally agree! We think having more stuff will make us happier, but I’ve never felt “lighter” than when I get rid of a car load of clutter 😆💖✨✨
My down fall is yard sales. What comes in, something else has to go. I have been decluttering for the last 3 years. Feels great. This was a great decluttering video.
My house burned down on Thanksgiving and I broke my leg and ankle in three places getting out with only a T-shirt and shorts. We lost everything... all of our sentimental items... our whole past. Remember, it's not the things, it's the people in your life that matter. You also learn who really cares, and who doesn't. I got to declutter my friends and family list too. Oddly, I feel truly free now knowing who I can truly count on.
Oh gosh, I’m so sorry to hear that, and I’m SO glad everyone’s okay!! 🙏🏻💖✨ I can imagine something like that would put a lot of things into perspective. Letting go of clutter is so incredibly freeing, but you are SO right, there’s no better feeling than letting go of the people in our life who just aren’t right for us anymore. our mental health is way more important than holding on to that negative energy 💖💖💖
this video just motivated me to declutter my closet. I’ve been putting it off for months but when you said the average home has 300,000 items I figured I should probably do something about that 😅 so motivational thank you for this!! 🙏🏻💞
It is amazing how much we tend to have in our homes. When you said how you are more mindful when you are shopping, it really hit me. In the right way. Thanks for that! And the wasted money too! Wow. I think it's gonna be something that I will be aware of from now on. Whew! Girl, you conquered it! Thank you for your genuine, happily conveyed motivation. You are certainly encouraging. That was quite a load you parted with. Just goes to show how much we dont need or use. I am a full fledged fan of yours and I have only watched 2 of your videos! I think you are pretty amazing. So wise for so young. Sincerely. 😉👍❤
I just came across your channel and wanted to say: I looooove your declutter videos! ❤ And I watch a lot of them, many I don't like - but yours are sooo good! Speed, editing, composition, storytelling - and the results!! Thank you!
Last year we had a furnace puff back and had to move out of our house for six weeks. Our entire home was emptied. We used it as a perfect time to declutter everything. We got rid of 8-10 SUV/ttruck loads of stuff.
BEST decluttering video I’ve seen so far!! 🎊 love how you explained your process, showed everything your tossing, and gave us some words of encouragement along the way. really great job on this one! 👏🏻❤
5:40 This unlocked a funny memory, my dad was cleaning our garage out when I was 10 or 11 years old once and the EXACT same thing happened, strangers kept stopping and asking out their window if we were having a garage sale LOL! Thanks for the fun memory, that was a good day, haha :) And also thank you for mentioning it, it's a good warning for anyone else planning to do the same thing! :)
LOL! aww that’s so funny - so glad I could unlock that memory for you! 🥰 it’s definitely not something you think about when you’re getting ready to purge your garage - but next time I’ll be sure to make a “not a garage sale - just a hoarder” sign so that everybody driving by with know what’s going on at my house 🤣
LOVE this!! I recently decluttered my kitchen pantry && cabinets! So satisfying 🥰 my garage needs to be decluttered desperately so looks like I’m taking that mess on next, thanks for the inspo! ✨💓
Love your video!! I have been decluttering like crazy!! Started with my closet(got rid of over 130 items of clothing), then moved to my decor, makeup desk, picture frames. Letting go of a lot, donating it! Feels so good :)
Wow way to go!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That is amazing! 🤩 It is so rewarding to let go of things and create a fresh start, and it feels so good to donate to people in need too! Thanks so much for the kind comment! 😘💖🌸
You are a workhorse! I can't believe you got thru all that stuff so quickly! Amazing. It'll be nice to be able to park in there (as well as being good for your car).
Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰 so funny cause RIGHT after filming I parked my car in there, first time in a LONG time! 😂 so thankful to have done this, you don’t realize the weight clutter has on you until it’s gone ✨✨
You guys did such an incredible job, it looks amazing! My husband has a ton if tools as well, so the basement and garage can get a bit overwhelming, especially when we're in the middle of projects. We have definitely learned the benefits of having organization and a good work process/flow.
YES! 🙌🏻💖 I totally agree!! SO thankful he decluttered everything he did - before I couldn’t even find a screw driver in that mess 😂 thanks so much for the kind comment!! 🥰💞
When I saw your garage door open I knew I was in for a good one and you did NOT disappoint! I would have panicked seeing all of that junk pulled out 😂 but you stayed so calm, positive and motivating. Really loving your channel, keep it up! 👍🏻❤
Totally agree! 🥰💖 It’s an extreme method, but if you can commit to it, it makes decluttering SO much easier and more efficient ✨✨ thank you SO much for the kind comment 💞💞
New to your Chanel, hello from Montreal, Canada. We tend to make piles and they end up taking space in our declutter space. Getting those items in the car ASAP. Ready to take them away. 👍Currently decluttering my office. Oh boy years of paper work. Although they were categorized in filing cabinets and bins, it's been long over due. You know the rule 7 years then shred them. I found papers and guarantees dated way back......really 2003. and on items we no longer have. So yeah it was time. Love you smile, your voice overs and all in all your spirit. Looking forward to seeing more and will give a shout out to my other subscribed YT Chanels, to come over and check you out. Have a great day 🥰
🎊Welcome Anna!!🎊 and thank you SO much for the kind comment - so glad you’re here! 💖🌸 aaahh I’m in a similar boat with old papers & documents - it needs a decluttering SO bad! For me, if something is out of site it’s out of mind so stuff like that piles up so quickly!
OMG! 😱 What a transformation!! 🎉 and OUCH I felt your pain when you hit your elbow on the rack 😅 and the big bruise on your hand! lol I’m pretty accident prone too. No way I’m escaping a declutter sesh without a couple bruises and scratches to show for it 😂 seriously awesome video!!
I bet so many people stopped to ask about a garage sale!! 😂😂 awesome video Kelly. I think at this point I just need someone to bulldoze my house so I can start from scratch!!!
LOL! I was starting the think the same about my home - but thankfully it turned out to be salvageable! 🤣 Also, I found out later that there was a garage sale a street down from me, SO many visitors stopped by that I couldn't edit them all out or I wouldn't have had much of a video left 🤪😅 Thanks for the kind comment! 😘💕💖
I’m so excited for this series! It couldn’t have come at a better time. We are starting to declutter our home b/c we plan on downsizing. Soon to be empty nesters here!
I cleaned out the shed and Garage a few weeks back, and I still have a small section that I need to get cleaned up, but thankfully it shouldn't take long and this has been motivating me to want to get it done.
I recently went through and rearranged/organized/decluttered my kitchen cabinets! The next bigggg project is the basement..it's been a catch all for damn near everything.
Loved this video❤ I did a massive attic and garage declutter and for some reason, I have to use black trash bags when decluttering or else it just feels wrong! It got so confusing I had to buy 3 boxes of trash bags each with different coloured drawstrings for each type of thing I would throw away😅
That's actually a really smart idea to use black bags with different colored strings - way to go!! 👏🎉💖 I'll have to keep that in mind for my next declutter. Thanks for the kind comment! 🥰xoxo
@@KHosbrook no problem❤ I saw you used a lot of different trash bags in this video. Do you have a way of organising or do you just grab any trash bag you find? And another question: how many bags did you go through in this video?
@@AlexBeveridge-t8i So I use the large black bags for donated items, since typically I have more to donate than to throw away, and I put the trash in my pink trash bags 😃💮 though my husband did use one black bag for his broken tools and parts for trash (because he doesn't know my system 🤣) And we ended up with 16 bags!! still can't believe it!
Question: why have decor for every season? The decor I have is year round. Less fuss, less clutter. You've done a mighty job though! Well done!! You've reminded me I need to sweep out my garage too! 😊 I feel so much lighter decluttering the house. I don't need alot to be content.
Aww thank you for the kind comment! It means so much 💖🌸💞 I got the seasonal decorating from my mom, it just made the seasons and holidays so special for me as a kid and I wanted to do the same for my kiddo 🥰🥰 Also a really great creative outlet for me while freshening up the space a bit ✨✨ but as you can tell its a lot to store so I TOTALLY get why some people don’t do seasonal decorating 😂💓
I personally enjoy decorating for different seasons. I love changing things up for the holidays because it makes them seem more special to me and makes it less boring. Decorating my home is one if my passions, but I understand it’s not for everyone.
Oh gosh, I can imagine it’s not quite garage decluttering weather in AZ right now - It was 80 in OH when I was decluttering and I thought that was bad! 🥵😂💞
@@KHosbrookmy family did this for my restaurant when Covid restrictions hit. We used 3 parking spaces and painted the floor with concrete paint. It held up really well for being outside with rain, sun and high foot traffic. Glad you liked the idea.
LOL! LOVE that you noticed that cause I was absolutely busting with laughter when I was editing that back 😂🤣 gotta love em! Thank you so much for always being so kind, your comments always make me laugh, SO glad you’re here! 💖🌸💖
LOVE that!! 💞✨ Way to go! SO funny because part 2 of this series is decluttering my kitchen - and you’re SO right, it’s not easy but it feels amazing to have a tidier kitchen 🥰🥰
Thank you for your inspiration to get me to declutter. Ive already cleared out my closet of old clothes and boxes of good junk which i donated. Some really bad stuff just found a home in the dumpster.
YES! 🙌🏻🎉💖 LOVE to hear that - way to go!! 👏🏻 It’s such a great feeling to see the clutter that burdens us go to someone who truly needs it 🥰🥰 thanks so much for the kind comment, SO glad you’re here!! 💞🌸
Passing by for now, great job with the declutter & organization! Just really had to mention something before it gets stuck in my mind. There is a mat thingy that I saw you stuff in a bin, you can see it at 21:10. It is not straight in the bin because it's too long. Keeping it like that will make a permanent crease & will damage it. It would be better to put it in a long bag, with a label if it's not transparent (keeps the dust away without forcing it).
New subscriber here; I love your energy and upbeat spirit! The garage looks amazing! The labels do really help to find things so much easier. Great job ❤❤
Welcome Shannon! 🎉💖✨ thank you for the kind comment, SO glad you’re here!! 🥰💞 wish I would have done the labels YEARS ago but so happy to have them now! Xo 🥰🥰
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try a few different cleaning products and see what works best - but I was also thinking of trying a coat of epoxy for less scrubbing 😂 the floors a mess for sure lol!
We do that here too but I just collected so much stuff that my garage turned into a storage area for junk I honestly didn’t even need 😆 I park it in the garage now and you’re SO right 💖✨ it’s made life so much easier 🥰🥰
I love watching decluttering videos, but not ones that are just someone speeding around to music. Not trying to be mean, but the personal sharing of your process is what makes decluttering videos interesting to watch.
@@annascavezze616 I did share my process through voiceovers and during my check ins, but totally understand if this isn’t your style. To each their own 💖😘
@@KHosbrook Sorry, I did not watch to the end so i guess I missed the best part. Wishing all you declutter creator's the best. Good luck with your Channel.
At the moment I am decluttering my entire bedroom. And I know I need to keep it to small spaces, but when I start I get distracted and than I declutter what my mind wanted to decluther the most I think. And so I end up piece by piece closer to a clean home. From the outside it still looks like a mess, but in my head it feels alteady more decluttered because I know its neat in those cabinets. I have a small bedroom, so I can't just chose 1 corner because I have no space to put everything from that corner to somewhere else.
YES!! 🎉🙌🏻 LOVE to hear that! 😍💞 and SAME 😂 I always make a bigger mess when decluttering - even if it’s just a small closet my entire house somehow gets turned upside down down 🙃🤷🏼♀️😂
aww thanks so much for the kind comment! 🥰🥰 Sometimes life gets busy/hectic and clutter can pile up so quickly, if there’s no basement or storage area the garage is where it all ends up - and then our cars have to pay the price 😩😂
Thank you, Mary! 💖🌸 definitely needed a few recovery days after this 😂 but it felt so amazing to free up all of that space, SO excited to do some more decluttering!! 💃🏼💕✨
Hi Kelly! Greetings from a new subscriber from the capital district of NY! This video came up as a suggestion on my page today. Looking forward to watching other videos. 💞
Hi. I have been "itching" to clean out my garage the last two or three years. I am one person. With a two car garage. Car was only in there one winter in 17 years. It is Wayyyyyyy past due. I do the same manner of taking EVERY SINGLE THING out, putting all items into categories. But, Every single item must be washed or completely dusted before it goes back in. Takes me and another person two FULL DAYS. One taking out, washing down entire garage.... Another putting back. Last six years or so, it's just me. I work 4 jobs so...free, motivated, dedicated time is at a premium. I do art and craft shows many weekends... so that makes it much harder. I also work a fulltime job, am an independent interpreter- French, English, Spanish; in addition to teaching art and craft classes And running my small art business. ....oh, and i volunteer teach am English class once aweek : ) I'm sure you did not need to know all this...hahaha. I APPLAUD you for doing all that HARD work on your own!!!! Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your spacious space : ))) Hugs...Sheila
WOW!! 🤩💖 Thank you SO much for the kind comment, Sheila - I’m so glad you’re here! 💕 I’ve always had an “I can just do it myself” mentality, and while it is harder doing it on your own it’s also SO satisfying seeing everything come together exactly how you wanted it to 🥰🥰 incredible how hard working you are, it’s very admirable 💖💖 Definitely don’t feel like you have to declutter your entire garage at once. To make it more manageable, you could set a timer to declutter for 15-20 minutes a day, or one corner of your garage at a time. Less overwhelming and less time consuming, I just got it done all at once to give some extra motivation ✨💖😘 SO nice to meet you!! xo
@KHosbrook Kelly, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me : ))) I am usually an all or nothing person. But I think that is great advice....I think I will try to do small sections at a time. What is organized is already well grouped together. So, maybe I'll do yard tools one day, etc.... Thank you for your kind attitude and manners to us : ) I have subscribed. Sending hugs : )
aww thank YOU for taking the time to chat with me, this is by far my favorite part of TH-cam - SO happy to have you here!! 🥰🥰 best of luck on your garage decluttering journey, I’m rooting for you! 🙌🏻🎉💖
@@MadwifeCinda aww thanks so much for the kind comment! 💕🌸 The parts that are the KonMari method that I’ve included are; pulling all items out, organizing by category, going through each item individually, only keeping the things that are essential or makes me happy, and putting the items I’m keeping back in a way that sparks joy for me ✨💖✨ hope that helps! 🥰🥰
We just went through our entire house. I told my husband if I go throw everything of mine out. I only care about 1 tote worth of sentimental things. If our house were to burn I’d grab that after making sure everyone else was out safe.
Awww thank you so much for the kind comment, Lindsey! 💖🌸 SO weird cause I film and upload in 4K but TH-cam isn’t showing it in 4K. I’m currently trying to work that one out so hopefully soon!! 🤪😂
"Decluttered forever" - I hate to break it to you, but after decluttering my two-car garage (which we do park our cars in) several times over the past 20 years, your garage will not be decluttered forever. ☺☺ Having homes for things and putting things back in their homes is crucial to keeping an organized garage and decluttering often is also important. Garages can become dumping grounds for things that we probably shouldn't be keeping or have forgotten we have.
Totally agree! At least it’s decluttered now ✨✨ and with everything being more organized and in bins, when I do go to declutter again, it won’t be as big of a project. Thanks for the comment 💖
For me I live with my mom and she is low key hoarder with adhd so everything has to be where she can see or it is "lost to her forever" and she then buys replacement. I am autistic with ocd so with the difference between us it is hard to declutter
I would love the video even more if there was no music when you are speaking. Also, people that watch cleaning (any physical work) videos like to hear the actual sounds of the work-EVEN when speeded up. Just a tip, I've followed so many people from just a few hundred subscribers to well past 100k! I totally believe you'll get there too.
aww thanks so much for the tips and sweet comment! 🥰🥰 will definitely keep that in mind for future videos. I can start adding some work sounds, though if I speed those segments up it sounds like I have a family of chipmunks in the background 😩😂🐿️ but definitely noted!! Thanks again! 🙏🏻😘💖
"Tons of tools" ... my husband has enough tools to actually fill over half your garage just by themselves lol I can only get away witb storing outdoor christmas lights out there because our shop is full of remodeling projects and my furniture flips 😂
Wish I would have done the same!! I can be really sentimental, especially with my kiddo, but it was like going through someone else’s baby’s toys - I didn’t recognize ANY of them 🤪😂
I am 69 years old, and my wife, Tonia, died in 2022. To avoid depression, I sorted through hundreds of our items and threw out so many items.

@@KHosbrook I wonder that about a lot of things 😅😂 thank you!! 🙏🏻
I think just keep 1 to 5 children's toys that are in good condition and that will be enjoyed by future grandchildren.
@@mika72.-Bois YES!! 🙌🏻💖 SO much easier to store a few rather than bins of mismatched and broken toys - so glad I tossed those! 🥰✨✨
My mother in law kept 1 tote bin of toys, the timeless ones like cars, action figures etc. my kids loving going to Grammys and playing with the toys

You know the rule 7 years then shred them. I found papers and guarantees dated way back......really 2003. and on items we no longer have. So yeah it was time. Love you smile, your voice overs and all in all your spirit. Looking forward to seeing more and will give a shout out to my other subscribed YT Chanels, to come over and check you out. Have a great day 🥰
🎊Welcome Anna!!🎊 and thank you SO much for the kind comment - so glad you’re here! 💖🌸 aaahh I’m in a similar boat with old papers & documents - it needs a decluttering SO bad! For me, if something is out of site it’s out of mind so stuff like that piles up so quickly!
The garage wasn't too bad ..I've seen worse . But you did a fantastic job declutering and organization 👏 ❤!
aww thank you for the kind comment 🥰🥰 it means so much! 😘💖🌸
OMG! 😱 What a transformation!! 🎉 and OUCH I felt your pain when you hit your elbow on the rack 😅 and the big bruise on your hand! lol I’m pretty accident prone too. No way I’m escaping a declutter sesh without a couple bruises and scratches to show for it 😂 seriously awesome video!!
LOL! It's like the battle scars from our victory 🌟😉 Thank you for the kind comment, Sophia! it means so much 🥰💞
im glad im not the only one who takes a vacuum to the garage floor haha
Wohoooo!!!!👏👏👏
Your the best!!❤
aww you’re the best too! 🙌🏻🎉 SO glad you’re here!! 😘💖🌸
I bet so many people stopped to ask about a garage sale!! 😂😂 awesome video Kelly. I think at this point I just need someone to bulldoze my house so I can start from scratch!!!
LOL! I was starting the think the same about my home - but thankfully it turned out to be salvageable! 🤣 Also, I found out later that there was a garage sale a street down from me, SO many visitors stopped by that I couldn't edit them all out or I wouldn't have had much of a video left 🤪😅 Thanks for the kind comment! 😘💕💖
Enjoyed from Texas!
aww thank you so much - SO glad you’re here! 😘💖🌸
About to get started on my basement. I’ve got this video on loop! Wish me luck
YES!! 💃🏼💖🎉 LOVE to hear that, and so glad this helps! 🥰🥰 best of luck, you’ve got this!! 😘💖💪🏻
What a greaaat video, love it ❤
aww thank you for the kind comment - it means SO much!! 😘💖🌸
I’m so excited for this series! It couldn’t have come at a better time. We are starting to declutter our home b/c we plan on downsizing. Soon to be empty nesters here!
Oh WOW! 🤩🎉 how exciting to start a new chapter with a clean slate 🏠✨ SO glad you’re here!! 💖💖
I cleaned out the shed and Garage a few weeks back, and I still have a small section that I need to get cleaned up, but thankfully it shouldn't take long and this has been motivating me to want to get it done.
YES!! 🙌🏻 🎉💃🏼 LOVE that!! 🥰✨ feels SO good to tackle big projects like that. Thank you so much for the comment - SO glad you’re here! 😘💖🌸
Great job. It looks good.❤❤
aww thank you for the kind comment, it means SO much! 😘💖🌸
I recently went through and rearranged/organized/decluttered my kitchen cabinets! The next bigggg project is the basement..it's been a catch all for damn near everything.
OMG! Way to go!! 👏🏻🎉💃🏼 My kitchen needs it SO bad 😩 I bet decluttering the basement will be so satisfying too ✨ You’ve got this! 💪🏻💖😘
This was very satisfying! I am on a declutter journey as well!❤
LOVE that!! 🎉💃🏼 been feeling SO much better in my home the more I toss out 🥰✨✨ thanks so much for the kind comment! 💖💖
Loved this video❤ I did a massive attic and garage declutter and for some reason, I have to use black trash bags when decluttering or else it just feels wrong! It got so confusing I had to buy 3 boxes of trash bags each with different coloured drawstrings for each type of thing I would throw away😅
That's actually a really smart idea to use black bags with different colored strings - way to go!! 👏🎉💖 I'll have to keep that in mind for my next declutter. Thanks for the kind comment! 🥰xoxo
@@KHosbrook no problem❤ I saw you used a lot of different trash bags in this video. Do you have a way of organising or do you just grab any trash bag you find? And another question: how many bags did you go through in this video?
@@AlexBeveridge-t8i So I use the large black bags for donated items, since typically I have more to donate than to throw away, and I put the trash in my pink trash bags 😃💮 though my husband did use one black bag for his broken tools and parts for trash (because he doesn't know my system 🤣) And we ended up with 16 bags!! still can't believe it!
Question: why have decor for every season? The decor I have is year round. Less fuss, less clutter. You've done a mighty job though! Well done!! You've reminded me I need to sweep out my garage too! 😊 I feel so much lighter decluttering the house. I don't need alot to be content.
Aww thank you for the kind comment! It means so much 💖🌸💞 I got the seasonal decorating from my mom, it just made the seasons and holidays so special for me as a kid and I wanted to do the same for my kiddo 🥰🥰 Also a really great creative outlet for me while freshening up the space a bit ✨✨ but as you can tell its a lot to store so I TOTALLY get why some people don’t do seasonal decorating 😂💓
I personally enjoy decorating for different seasons. I love changing things up for the holidays because it makes them seem more special to me and makes it less boring. Decorating my home is one if my passions, but I understand it’s not for everyone.
Great video. Want to do this. Way too hot. We live in AZ. Got to wait till cooler temps.
You are so motivating and inspiring. Thanks
Oh gosh, I can imagine it’s not quite garage decluttering weather in AZ right now - It was 80 in OH when I was decluttering and I thought that was bad! 🥵😂💞
I am new here today 🙋🏼♀️
Great video!
🎉Welcome Anastasia!🎉💃🏼thanks for the kind comment - SO glad you’re here! 😘💖🌸
Good Job looks great 😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥳🥳🥳
aww thank you for the kind comment, it means SO much! 🥰💖✨
La felicito gran trabajo 👏
aww thank you for the kind comment, it means SO much!! 😘💖🌸
Great work!, you should do a garage coating so it looks cleaner.
You could get a rug or you can paint the garage floor and even paint a “rug” where you want as well.
LOVE the idea of painting a rug! 🙌🏻💖✨ that would be so cute - and I wouldn’t have to worry about the lawn mower getting ahold of it 🤣🤦🏼♀️
@@KHosbrookmy family did this for my restaurant when Covid restrictions hit. We used 3 parking spaces and painted the floor with concrete paint. It held up really well for being outside with rain, sun and high foot traffic.
Glad you liked the idea.
My garage needs a thorough clean out and you have given me some inspiration and motivation so thank you so much
YES! 🙌🏻💃🏼🎉 LOVE to hear that - you’ve got this!! 😘💖🌸
Omg!! Was your husband riding around on a scooter? What a big kid. This has to be a transformation worth an episode on TLC! Way to go
LOL! LOVE that you noticed that cause I was absolutely busting with laughter when I was editing that back 😂🤣 gotta love em! Thank you so much for always being so kind, your comments always make me laugh, SO glad you’re here! 💖🌸💖
Great job on decluttering the garage looks so nice❤️
aww thank you for the kind comment, it means so much! 🥰💖🌸
Love it! First time
Watching I subscribed.
🎉Welcome!🎉💃🏼 thanks so much for the kind comment - SO glad you’re here!! 😘💖🌸
I am decluttering and organizing our kitchen cabinets. So tough and also rewarding. 🌟🐝
LOVE that!! 💞✨ Way to go! SO funny because part 2 of this series is decluttering my kitchen - and you’re SO right, it’s not easy but it feels amazing to have a tidier kitchen 🥰🥰
Thank you for your inspiration to get me to declutter. Ive already cleared out my closet of old clothes and boxes of good junk which i donated. Some really bad stuff just found a home in the dumpster.
YES! 🙌🏻🎉💖 LOVE to hear that - way to go!! 👏🏻 It’s such a great feeling to see the clutter that burdens us go to someone who truly needs it 🥰🥰 thanks so much for the kind comment, SO glad you’re here!! 💞🌸
Passing by for now, great job with the declutter & organization!
Just really had to mention something before it gets stuck in my mind. There is a mat thingy that I saw you stuff in a bin, you can see it at 21:10. It is not straight in the bin because it's too long. Keeping it like that will make a permanent crease & will damage it. It would be better to put it in a long bag, with a label if it's not transparent (keeps the dust away without forcing it).
LOVE that idea!! 💖✨ Thank you so much for the kind comment and tip! 🥰💞
New subscriber here; I love your energy and upbeat spirit! The garage looks amazing! The labels do really help to find things so much easier. Great job ❤❤
Welcome Shannon! 🎉💖✨ thank you for the kind comment, SO glad you’re here!! 🥰💞 wish I would have done the labels YEARS ago but so happy to have them now! Xo 🥰🥰
Just subscribed 😊I really enjoyed this video so I’m definitely your new fan from now on 😂Thankyou ❤
awww thank you for the kind comment, it means so much 🥰🥰 SO glad you’re here - 🎉Welcome!!🎉 😘💖🌸
Fantastic cleaning up and organizing 🎉❤
aww thank you so much for the kind comment - feels so good to tackle a massive project! ✨
if you want you can purchase dawn degreaser or zep degreaser for you garage floor as a cleaner
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try a few different cleaning products and see what works best - but I was also thinking of trying a coat of epoxy for less scrubbing 😂 the floors a mess for sure lol!
You did a fantastic job!!!!❤
Aww thank you for the kind comment, it means so much! 🥰💖✨
So satisfying and motivating!
aww thank you so much!! LOVE to hear that! 🥰💖🌸
I’m Australian and we put our cars in the garage so try it , makes bringing in groceries etc so much easier.
Protects your car from heat and cold
We do that here too but I just collected so much stuff that my garage turned into a storage area for junk I honestly didn’t even need 😆 I park it in the garage now and you’re SO right 💖✨ it’s made life so much easier 🥰🥰
I love watching decluttering videos, but not ones that are just someone speeding around to music. Not trying to be mean, but the personal sharing of your process is what makes decluttering videos interesting to watch.
@@annascavezze616 I did share my process through voiceovers and during my check ins, but totally understand if this isn’t your style. To each their own 💖😘
@@KHosbrook Sorry, I did not watch to the end so i guess I missed the best part. Wishing all you declutter creator's the best. Good luck with your Channel.
aww thank you so much, Anna! 💖🌸💖
I love it 👍👍👍
aww thank you so much for the kind comment - SO glad you’re here! 😘💖✨
We homeschool and have already started for the year, but oh mylanta, I still have some serious decluttering to do!
Aaahh same! Summer definitely snuck right by me this year 😂💖
At the moment I am decluttering my entire bedroom. And I know I need to keep it to small spaces, but when I start I get distracted and than I declutter what my mind wanted to decluther the most I think. And so I end up piece by piece closer to a clean home. From the outside it still looks like a mess, but in my head it feels alteady more decluttered because I know its neat in those cabinets. I have a small bedroom, so I can't just chose 1 corner because I have no space to put everything from that corner to somewhere else.
YES!! 🎉🙌🏻 LOVE to hear that! 😍💞 and SAME 😂 I always make a bigger mess when decluttering - even if it’s just a small closet my entire house somehow gets turned upside down down 🙃🤷🏼♀️😂
Wow! The transformation!
aww thank you SO much!! 🙏🏻💖 been checking my garage every so often to make sure it’s real 😂
Would love to have seen you paint the garage floor--smile
LOVE that idea!! ✨✨ it definitely needs it soo bad 😂😩
Great job🎉😂❤
aww you for the kind comment, it means SO much! 😘💖💕
I'll never understand people using the garage as a dumping ground vs using it for it's actual purpose. It looks amazing now!
aww thanks so much for the kind comment! 🥰🥰 Sometimes life gets busy/hectic and clutter can pile up so quickly, if there’s no basement or storage area the garage is where it all ends up - and then our cars have to pay the price 😩😂
I feel sorry for your back mine hurts just watching. Good job
Thank you, Mary! 💖🌸 definitely needed a few recovery days after this 😂 but it felt so amazing to free up all of that space, SO excited to do some more decluttering!! 💃🏼💕✨
Great job
Awesome job ❤
aww thank you so much for the kind comment! 🥰💖🌸
Plus, it's easier to sweep and clean garage when it's empty!
Totally agree - you gotta take advantage of the empty space while you can!! 😂💖✨
Hi Kelly! Greetings from a new subscriber from the capital district of NY! This video came up as a suggestion on my page today. Looking forward to watching other videos. 💞
🎊Welcome Ashley!🎊 SO glad you’re here!! 🥰😘💖🌸
@@KHosbrook Thanks!
Amazing work! New sub! 😊
🎉Welcome!🎉 thanks so much for the kind comment, SO glad you’re here! 🥰💖🌸
Hi. I have been "itching" to clean out my garage the last two or three years. I am one person. With a two car garage. Car was only in there one winter in 17 years. It is Wayyyyyyy past due. I do the same manner of taking EVERY SINGLE THING out, putting all items into categories. But, Every single item must be washed or completely dusted before it goes back in. Takes me and another person two FULL DAYS. One taking out, washing down entire garage.... Another putting back. Last six years or so, it's just me.
I work 4 jobs so...free, motivated, dedicated time is at a premium. I do art and craft shows many weekends... so that makes it much harder. I also work a fulltime job, am an independent interpreter- French, English, Spanish; in addition to teaching art and craft classes And running my small art business. ....oh, and i volunteer teach am English class once aweek : )
I'm sure you did not need to know all this...hahaha.
I APPLAUD you for doing all that HARD work on your own!!!! Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your spacious space : ))) Hugs...Sheila
WOW!! 🤩💖 Thank you SO much for the kind comment, Sheila - I’m so glad you’re here! 💕 I’ve always had an “I can just do it myself” mentality, and while it is harder doing it on your own it’s also SO satisfying seeing everything come together exactly how you wanted it to 🥰🥰 incredible how hard working you are, it’s very admirable 💖💖 Definitely don’t feel like you have to declutter your entire garage at once. To make it more manageable, you could set a timer to declutter for 15-20 minutes a day, or one corner of your garage at a time. Less overwhelming and less time consuming, I just got it done all at once to give some extra motivation ✨💖😘 SO nice to meet you!! xo
@KHosbrook Kelly, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me : ))) I am usually an all or nothing person. But I think that is great advice....I think I will try to do small sections at a time. What is organized is already well grouped together. So, maybe I'll do yard tools one day, etc....
Thank you for your kind attitude and manners to us : )
I have subscribed. Sending hugs : )
aww thank YOU for taking the time to chat with me, this is by far my favorite part of TH-cam - SO happy to have you here!! 🥰🥰 best of luck on your garage decluttering journey, I’m rooting for you! 🙌🏻🎉💖
Jesus loves y’all! MAY GOD BLESS Y’ALL FOREVER🙏🙏❤️❤️
Nice video, and what a great declutter! But I'm not seeing KonMari technique here.
@@MadwifeCinda aww thanks so much for the kind comment! 💕🌸 The parts that are the KonMari method that I’ve included are; pulling all items out, organizing by category, going through each item individually, only keeping the things that are essential or makes me happy, and putting the items I’m keeping back in a way that sparks joy for me ✨💖✨ hope that helps! 🥰🥰
Living room I'm so excited now to kitchin
YES!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Way to go! 🎉💃🏼💖 OMG my kitchen needs it sooo bad 😆
We just went through our entire house. I told my husband if I go throw everything of mine out. I only care about 1 tote worth of sentimental things. If our house were to burn I’d grab that after making sure everyone else was out safe.
🤩
You should epoxy the garage floors! 🙌🏻
Good idea!! ✨ it needs it SO bad 😩
Great job.
Thank you so much!! 💖💖
You should film and upload in 4k quality! Love the vids
Awww thank you so much for the kind comment, Lindsey! 💖🌸 SO weird cause I film and upload in 4K but TH-cam isn’t showing it in 4K. I’m currently trying to work that one out so hopefully soon!! 🤪😂
Great channel cool clip thumbs up, decluttering everything right now, even bodyfat 😂
aww thanks so much for the kind comment! 💖🌸 and decluttering the garage in itself was a tremendous workout - two birds with one stone! 😂💪🏻✨
Your garage is bigger than my house 😮
LOL! it definitely felt like I decluttered enough to fill house 😂🏠✨
"Decluttered forever" - I hate to break it to you, but after decluttering my two-car garage (which we do park our cars in) several times over the past 20 years, your garage will not be decluttered forever. ☺☺ Having homes for things and putting things back in their homes is crucial to keeping an organized garage and decluttering often is also important. Garages can become dumping grounds for things that we probably shouldn't be keeping or have forgotten we have.
Totally agree! At least it’s decluttered now ✨✨ and with everything being more organized and in bins, when I do go to declutter again, it won’t be as big of a project. Thanks for the comment 💖
You can hang your folding chairs on the wall, too.
Ok but how many people stopped thinking you’re having a yard sale 😂
So many that I seriously almost put up a sign: Not A Garage Sale - Just A Hoarder 😐🤣
For me I live with my mom and she is low key hoarder with adhd so everything has to be where she can see or it is "lost to her forever" and she then buys replacement. I am autistic with ocd so with the difference between us it is hard to declutter
You did a great job. ifs.
Thank you so much!! 🥰💖🌸
I would love the video even more if there was no music when you are speaking. Also, people that watch cleaning (any physical work) videos like to hear the actual sounds of the work-EVEN when speeded up. Just a tip, I've followed so many people from just a few hundred subscribers to well past 100k! I totally believe you'll get there too.
aww thanks so much for the tips and sweet comment! 🥰🥰 will definitely keep that in mind for future videos. I can start adding some work sounds, though if I speed those segments up it sounds like I have a family of chipmunks in the background 😩😂🐿️ but definitely noted!! Thanks again! 🙏🏻😘💖
"Tons of tools" ... my husband has enough tools to actually fill over half your garage just by themselves lol I can only get away witb storing outdoor christmas lights out there because our shop is full of remodeling projects and my furniture flips 😂
Aaahh I feel that 😫😂 my husband loves his tools and work space so I wouldn’t even dream of “messing” it up 🤣🤣
New subscriber. Hello
Hello, Sharron and welcome!! 🎉💃🏼🎉 SO glad you’re here! 💖🌸💖
😬👀 spiders??? Eek
Luckily I didn’t come across any but I’m sure they were there somewhere! 🫣👀😂
Do you park your vehicles in the garage?
We haven’t in a loong time due to the clutter - but we sure do now!! 😂💖
👏
Idk how you kept all those baby toys 😂😂 I throw away my kids baby toys so fast
Wish I would have done the same!! I can be really sentimental, especially with my kiddo, but it was like going through someone else’s baby’s toys - I didn’t recognize ANY of them 🤪😂
