I want to be like Anna! I love how you tackle everything so systematically and make it look a breeze. I tend to get so overwhelmed with things like this but your motivation is inspiring!
What a clean loft you have (even before the clear out)!! I recently cleared out my family's loft which had stuff up there 1930s-Present using only a torch to find my way in the dark and loft insulation underfoot. Lesson learned - don't put things in the loft, don't keep things just in case or hold on to too much stuff for sentimental reasons!! You don't need stuff to remind you of other people - you just need good memories of them.
Could you do a declutter my office ? where to put bills, papers , scotch, pieces of paper from magazines etc.. help ! thanks for your video, loved it !
I love that you did this together. I watch a lot declutter videos and it's like "Oh it's so easy, just sort through everything" But you can't just declutter your whole place and throw things away without the input of the other people you live with! It's not a one-person activity a lot of the time.
The first thing I thought when I saw the size of the loft was to convert it into another bedroom/workspace. I’m feeling inspired to have a declutter after watching your video.
I adored this video and smiled throughout it. I actually teared up when you were going through your sentimental box. Thank you for sharing those treasured items with us. ❤️
Even the before was already so organized! Ours is just a mess of stuff we want to repair, storage boxes of different sizes and brand that overflow, and construction stuff from when we did work in the apartment.... The geek in me couldn’t help notice the Lord of the Ring books in your bookshelves when you were going through the sentimental box (which I should really do to consolidate all those sentimental bits and bobs that are everywhere in my apartment and in boxes at my parents....)
I have a fancy picnic basket that I rarely use -- but just wait: you'll wish on one perfect, blue-sky warm day at the park, that you hadn't gotten rid of it! It's such a nice thing to have and it really doesn't take up *that* much space. 😉
Really commendable. Everything so organized and neatly arranged. That's awesome ! Setting a good example and reminding me of Monica Geller in Friends a little bit .
Loved this video Anna! Liked seeing the whole decluttering process and also you explaining what things meant to you in your sentimental box and pulling things out to display / use. So great! ☺
I love the idea of having a small memory box for sentimental things. My grandma had one and my mom has one, and now I have like a billion of little ones lol. One day I'll get myself a nice wooden, maybe antique, box to streamline the sentimental things into one. But I find it just so precious and whenever you feel the need to be nostalgic, it's perfect to look through all of it :)
I know you've been saying that you're hoping to do a book tour once your book is released, do you know when you'll know if the tour will happen, and where?
Are you planning on redo the loft as well? Like it gets a floor everywhere and insulation under the roof so your house will need less heating during the cold months?
That looked quite tidy before you started..😁 in comparison to most loft spaces! Having a memory box is good but great that you now get to use some of it too. The Disney name frame could be used again one day perhaps with an insert with new name on it?..😉 Just an idea..could you and Lily do a one off Xmas special podcast, also a vlog haul together and maybe invole Mark and Rich too?😊
As a Professional Organizer, I can only say: well done you! Só funny, the engineer Mark is (right?) with the Ikea boxes on top of each other, which fits! Yes the Sweeds dó know what the're doing! 🤣🤣😘😘
For the first time in years we dont have a loft so im now really strict on what we keep as it has to take up bedroom space. Still got a lot of things like baby things, wedding etc
so happy to see I am not the only person who saves clothing that is sentimental. I also have my graduation and 21st bday dress too : ) however I also have a stack of t-shirts that are sentimental too
This video was so satisfying to watch. I thought I was controlled with my memory box but clearly not compared to you! Love your plastic boxes, I feel like I totally need the idea ones now! X
Morning! You have inspired me to de clutter my house and actually enjoy it.. Or at least not get stressed! Have you signed any copies of an edited life? X
Hey Anna, would you have some advice for suitcases? Budget is less that 100£ for a carry on and less than 200£ for a mid size one. I'd like to get light soft ones, not crazy about the rigid ones if that makes sense
Oh my god, that loft is crying out to be converted! It’s massive! (Typing this from my converted loft bedroom). Totally worth doing if it’s an option for you x x
That's already organised compared to mine, which has 12 years of random stuff literally thrown in. Although I did konmari the Xmas decorations last yr. Proud moment
He, he - I love the fact that you think your loft needed decluttering - you should see mine - I’d get lost in it for weeks!! 😂😂😂 Great job though! I love your memory box - I think I’ll do the same for me and my children as I’ve got bits and bobs all over the place! 😍 xXx ETA - golden willy straws!! 😂😂😂😂😂
You holding up the willy straws as a thumbnail pic with the video title 'Willy straws - hidden secrets in my attic' could have been an excellent clickbait opportunity. :)
Watching you go through your memory box reminds me that I threw away my own similar box in a fit of overzealous cleaning a few years ago. That's a regret. :(
LOL THE STRAWS I CAN'T
Soooo, Mark is up for making himself a capsule wardrobe. Shout if you'd like to see that video as the next in the series!
Yasssssssss x
Hell yes. And then I show it to my husband who refuses to throw out clothes he hasn’t worn in the seven years I’ve known him 🙈
Oh Yes!!!
Hell yes!!! He is so fun to watch!!!
Yes I would love that!!!
Golden willy straws in a Chanel bag is iconic. Loved this video
You should hang up your cosmo award in your office because it reminds you how far you’ve come and how much you’ve achieved ❤️
Great idea! I’ll bring it down next time I’m up there x
I want to be like Anna! I love how you tackle everything so systematically and make it look a breeze. I tend to get so overwhelmed with things like this but your motivation is inspiring!
Thank you love! x
This is exactly what I was thinking while watching the video. It also motivated me to go throw shit away!
It's her full time job to organise her life , this isn't real life..
The pre looked pretty neat to by any standard compared to similar storage that most folks have. .. 😀
I think Mark has just sold me on Ikea storage boxes 😂 love how they fit on top each other in multiple sizes.
He did such a good sell! x
Lyons29 oh excellent sell, and they’re on wheels ;)
there's loads and loads of sizes and you buy the lids separately
So many de cluttering and organising videos around at the moment and it’s making me SO HAPPY haha! X

I have never seen such a tidy attic even at the beginning!! I wish you could sort out my house!

Please please please do a style focused video on cold weather layers that aren't cardigans! 🙏
Love your time capsule/sentimental box. Thanks for sharing. (And it's not even full!)
I seriously LOL-d when the golden straws came out 😂😂😂
I still use my classic ipod...they are the best!
The first thing I thought when I saw the size of the loft was to convert it into another bedroom/workspace. I’m feeling inspired to have a declutter after watching your video.
Lindsay Johnson workspace I could see, the roof might be a little low for a bedroom personally
Laughing so hard at "golden willy straws" 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone has a Christmas box, I have 15 hehe.
Georgina Russell. Accurate. I’m not even a Christian and I have a Christmas box.
Anna! All these organisation videos makes my 26 year old heart so happy!!!! Ahh
i'm moving in two months, can you make a video about moving organization?!
I adored this video and smiled throughout it. I actually teared up when you were going through your sentimental box. Thank you for sharing those treasured items with us. ❤️
I just peeked into my basement and quickly shut the dorr again. Your video is motivating, but I think I need a bulldozer to declutter this room.
Yaaaaaas! Some “editing” of a loft. This is literally my life now. Well timed!
Even the before was already so organized! Ours is just a mess of stuff we want to repair, storage boxes of different sizes and brand that overflow, and construction stuff from when we did work in the apartment....
The geek in me couldn’t help notice the Lord of the Ring books in your bookshelves when you were going through the sentimental box (which I should really do to consolidate all those sentimental bits and bobs that are everywhere in my apartment and in boxes at my parents....)
I enjoy watching this kinds of video especially when you do it! It’s therapeutic and inspiring
Loved it! Please could you do a making a photo album video ? I always want to do those but either put it off or they look rubbish 🙈
I have a fancy picnic basket that I rarely use -- but just wait: you'll wish on one perfect, blue-sky warm day at the park, that you hadn't gotten rid of it! It's such a nice thing to have and it really doesn't take up *that* much space. 😉
Anna please make a video how you sort your pictures / make an album out of the remaining photos that would be so nice:)
Still use my iPod classic every day.
Me too!
I use mine at least once per week. Gutted that they stopped making them.
'Veiny willy straws in Chanel bag' pahaha

Would you be up for doing a video about the secrets to your relationship with Mark? You guys just seem like the best pair. Love you Anna!
I’ll see what I can rope him into 😂
I know you've been saying that you're hoping to do a book tour once your book is released, do you know when you'll know if the tour will happen, and where?
Unfortunately I don’t have details yet, but when I know I will let you know ASAP xx
Are you planning on redo the loft as well? Like it gets a floor everywhere and insulation under the roof so your house will need less heating during the cold months?
Yep, it’s definitely something that we’d like to get round to doing! X
This is my exact cup of tea Anna. Ugh, I just adore your content.
This video is so freaking cute! I love this type of content. Also the willy straws had me laughing out loud
That looked quite tidy before you started..😁 in comparison to most loft spaces! Having a memory box is good but great that you now get to use some of it too.

A Christmas special is (hopefully) in the works 😉
@@TheAnnaEdit Oooh that's great news..🤞😊
Glad to see I’m not the only one who keeps sentimental dresses. Can’t wait till our loft is boarded out so I can do all this.
As a Professional Organizer, I can only say: well done you! Só funny, the engineer Mark is (right?) with the Ikea boxes on top of each other, which fits! Yes the Sweeds dó know what the're doing! 🤣🤣😘😘
For the first time in years we dont have a loft so im now really strict on what we keep as it has to take up bedroom space. Still got a lot of things like baby things, wedding etc
Yes yes yes! So excited for this series 😍
Loved the video Anna you motivated me to go through my closet 🙌🏻 I love organization videos!!!
What a great video. Loved everything from the willy-straws to spicegirls-momorybilia. Amazing!
How do you find the away carry on with the front pocket ? Is it convenient for traveling ? Have you had issues with some air companies?
No issues and it’s really handy actually. Great to have my laptop in a spot that’s easy to reach x
Your book is at the top of my Christmas wishlist!! I know it comes out in February but its worth the wait! Love you girl
Thank you Abigail! x
Are there any other books similar to An Edited Life that you'd recommend? I've read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, but I just need more!!
Great video! Loved seeing you go through your sentimental pieces and why they meant something to you, it was really lovely to watch :D xx
so happy to see I am not the only person who saves clothing that is sentimental. I also have my graduation and 21st bday dress too : ) however I also have a stack of t-shirts that are sentimental too
Anna, where are your bookshelves from?
AH yessssssssssss it's spring here in Australia and this is what we need in our lives thank you!!
xoxogossipgoat21 spring cleaning ;)
Aw maybe you should stick the sentimental dresses in a Hoover bag in case they get destroyed.
Good idea! X
I call them memory boxes. Make them for yourself, for husband, future children. Love your videos.Thanks Connie:-)
ok serious question. how do you get the bike up and down?
The hatch to the loft is HUGE, but it’s definitely a two person job! X
I love Mark! My bf hand makes all of my birthday cards too! 🤗 so sweet!
Can you say wich suitcase you prefer, the horizon or the away one? Are they alot diffrences?
I prefer the colours available in the away suitcases, but I love that the horizon cabin bag comes with a pocket on the front x
"It's worse than I thought..."
"WHAT"
Y'all
I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours!☺️
Hello! Where is your bookshelf in the background from? x
West Elm x
Thank you!!
Been waiting for this!! Also a book AND a video series on organising/decluttering?! THANK YOU ANNA
Such a nice video Anna! 😊
This video was so satisfying to watch. I thought I was controlled with my memory box but clearly not compared to you! Love your plastic boxes, I feel like I totally need the idea ones now! X
I have a really similar ‘sentimental’ box, they’re so fun to look through 😂
Unrelated Q. Where is your bed from?
The bed is from Heals! x
Morning!
You have inspired me to de clutter my house and actually enjoy it.. Or at least not get stressed!
Have you signed any copies of an edited life?
X
I'm hoping to! Will shout when I know where they'll be and will hopefully be doing a book tour too! x
@@TheAnnaEdit will keep my eyes peeled! Thanks Anna x
Anna we are just trying to organize our flat too, so much to do! But your videos always help :) I can't wait to get your book! Greetings from Vienna
We need to see these photos! The straws! It took me a couple of minutes to get it! 🤣
Hi Anna. Love your videos! Can you tell me where you got your pink /nude suitcase from please? X
Actually LOLed at the golden straws you found 🤣
YES TO MARK MAKING A CAPSULE WARDROBE SERIES
Omg Anna! My Guinea Pigs were called sooty & sweap
You shouldve seen our storage 😂😂😂 Took me and my bf 5-6 hours to clear out 😂😂😂 But it feels very good when you are done with it 😊👍
Hey Anna, would you have some advice for suitcases? Budget is less that 100£ for a carry on and less than 200£ for a mid size one. I'd like to get light soft ones, not crazy about the rigid ones if that makes sense
The Eastpack ones are great - really light which is so important when it comes to suitcases x

Holy shit Anna! This video made me laugh so hard. I’m excited for your declutters now for sure 👍
You have me cracking up with the straws in the chanel bag, ewww, lol overall good video I love decluttering videos!
I love that you've kept a spice world movie ticket for 20 years! 😂
Loved the video! Always enjoy your vlogs :) We need to tackle our loft soon as we’re moving house and it’s full to the brim...
This feels so satisfaying!! 😂
Oh my god, that loft is crying out to be converted! It’s massive! (Typing this from my converted loft bedroom). Totally worth doing if it’s an option for you x x
Welcome to your happy evening
I need that Chanel bag, I'd DIE! And do tell, what you find on those hard drives... That would be fun, sort of like a virtual memory archive!
It’s so strange but after seeing that, I want to see you clear out and show us all of your cookbooks 😂
Which hall were you in at uni?
Willoughby x
The Anna Edit Such a beautiful campus, such happy memories. Derby Hall 79-81!
Those straws hahahahah
I love decluttering because you always find the weirdest shit
Everyone needs a good picnic set, you two should go on more romantic picnics ;)
Loved that you filmed this! Though, every time you say “shit” could become a drinking game 😂💩
That's a whole nother apt!!!
05/01/1998 is my birthday! glad you enjoyed it 😂
The straws!! Too funny.
We are a family of 5 in an American house... You should see the junk. I'd love to get rid of it ALL!!
Everyone has a weird assortment of Christmas boxes. My parents have had some boxes since they were first married 27 years ago 😁
That's already organised compared to mine, which has 12 years of random stuff literally thrown in. Although I did konmari the Xmas decorations last yr. Proud moment
He, he - I love the fact that you think your loft needed decluttering - you should see mine - I’d get lost in it for weeks!! 😂😂😂 Great job though!

The old ipods are now a collector's item and going for loads on ebay.
peen straws in a Chanel bag...ICONIC
Wash the bag, toss the straws ;)
Watching you go through your memory box reminds me that I threw away my own similar box in a fit of overzealous cleaning a few years ago. That's a regret. :(
Where is mark from? Trying to place the accent 🙊
Birmingham, I believe.
Birmingham x
The Anna Edit seen as that’s where I’m from I should have got that really...
I had that dress you wore for your 18th & the dress you wore for graduation x
No way!! Topshop fanatics x
