![Things get WORSE before they get better [DECLUTTERING MY SISTER'S CLUTTERED BEDROOM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8ULBfvA1l0s/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm giggling because when you were decluttering your protein powder and supplements you wanted to give to friends I thought "I bet her sister would like them" 😂
Yup you’re right 😂❤
@@TheCarlaProject Carla, I really like your kitchen declutters and I think you can be proud of you.
Every time I can see your kitchen countertop, I wonder why you put the blue pot at the spot where you work the most and therefore it's the most precious space on the counter? I understand, that you like to look at the nice blue pot, but couldn't you move it *just a little bit more to the left*, where there is space that you don't need for food prep etc.? More towards the corner? In my opinion that would be a better place for a rather bigger decorative item on the countertop.
I find it so cool to see your progress in the kitchen. Liked that you showed a short throwback sequence of you two years ago. A lot of memories came back (the spice jars with the label maker, the new floor and the different wall paint colors, the organizing projects with containers, that you started to drink coffee, the new curtains...) Greetings from Germany.
I was thinking the same 😂
Love your videos 💕 so inspiring 😊
I LOVE that you do practical decluttering and organizing using things you already own, not trying to make a pinterest perfect space but a common usable space. You help so many people, showing the real concept and that you don't have to spend money to organize and declutter.
My neighbor set up a little pantry box in front of their place - basically just a wooden box with a roof and a sign that says 'take what you need, leave what you don’t '. I love it because it makes decluttering small items that aren't worth posting on buy nothing so easy. Kitchen items, but I've also put in new dog toys that I don't need, shampoo I don't like the smell of...anything that still has a useful life but I don't want. I've also picked up things like travel size toothpaste there, for some reason someone was giving away 10. It's great, I hope the idea spreads.
i looove this idea. like we have little library stands all over the area but this would be such a cute version of that!!
Thought for viewers - our local buy nothing group on FB gets posts of food and people ALWAYS speak up for items, even opened, so you never know. It's not exactly easy financial times for many
“My love for empty jars runs deep”. I felt ALLLLL of that. 🙌🏼
Me 2 💕
It's hard to let go of things that can be perpetually useful.
Oh I love a good jar!
Me too!! I love jars and bottles...I love how you said you were keeping them for gifts from friends and the reality is you did it once. I can relate!!😊
I love a good jar too, recently I had to recycle so many as I was running out of cupboard space, I'm due to do another one this week 😂
I confuse my self with the person I want to be and the person I really am. I’m trying to fix that by not purchasing items that really aren’t me, it’s hard😂
Thanks for another great one Carla, you got rid of a bunch❤
Star Rescue Resale Store in Sherman Oaks is a GREAT place to donate items!
There’s a resale shop that benefits an animal rescue in my neck of the woods in San Diego that I always donate my decluttered gently used clothes and decor, etc.
I feel like it feeds two birds with one seed because the money they receive from sales of donations goes to keeping the rescue running! 💕
Proud of you for getting it all out of the house at the end! My trunk is currently full and has been for a few days…
My trunk is always full haha oh will ck out that resale store thank u!!
I LOVE My Sundays with Carla and Samson!!!!! Thank you Carla You work so hard and you really lift me up ❤️❤️❤️ hello to your sissy too❤️
We love you back thank you!!❤️❤️❤️
Love this series! Decluttered my kitchen with you...literally decluttered and organized two weeks ago and still found 25 items to part with.
I love jars and other containers I can repurpose. Had it bad 😔...Two weeks ago I threw a lot of glass jars, bottles and small beauty empty containers. Also different spray tops. Felt good throwing about 99% away.❤ Great job.😊🙋🏾♀️
Honey never expires. Unless its mixed with something. I was looking for you today. So far, I have made up a bag of 12 tops and 2 bottoms. And 2 gym shoes two dress shoes and 2 boots. All these are going to the Psych Unit ER. I heard they are discharging people who came from shelters and now have no clothes to wear when discharged. BTW, as a trombonist, I am loving the solo.. plus you have inspired me to make a whole tea area. Thank you!
Oh my god, Carla!! You got rid of the jars!!! Ive been waiting for this day for years - every little declutter, willing you on to be brave and allow yourself to let them go. Amazing job. You did a really bloody amazing job. Happy Sunday to you and Mr S ❤❤🎉🎉❤❤
I dont know how you choose your music, but i absolutely LOVE IT. Ive heard everything from country to jazz to urban to new folk ive never heard before, all on your channel. Its wonderful.
We're on the same page Carla! I just pulled all kinds of crazy stuff out of my freezer! A lot of it was freezer burnt, such a shame. My 2 adult daughters live with me, and they tend to stuff things in corners and forget about them. I'm hoping to get them to see how much waste is costing them. I would like to go into the new year with organization and less waste!!! Big hugs to your sister, she is so brave to not only clean out her stuff, but also to let us all see! She's adorable, and I love her!
It’s just so easy to collect clutter even if you’ve been on the journey for a while. I wouldn’t have known you had so many things to donate or put in the rubbish. And Mr Samson, you spoke the magic word and had to deliver something…lol. Roll on the next ep ❤❤
December is my main decluttering month, too. I remember your kitchen declutter from a year ago, when you got rid of a LOT of stuff. Congrats - you’ve really kept it under control! ❤
put fruits in your living room in that fruit splatter thrift find! it's too pretty and you can put that matcing blue vase next to it
Tulsi sweet rose is my new favorite!
4:47 me too!! Jars are always so tempting!!
You hit the nail on the head- things change. What you need and can actually use changes. I am a hoarder of jars and have little by little been recycling the 'excess' (the definition of 'excess' is slowly evolving, but I'm getting there). I reuse wide mouth jars especially for fridge storage of leftovers or batch prep veggies, grains, and beans; and narrow, relatively short jars for the spice wall (I literally have an entire narrow wall of spices which is slowly being purged of outdated and duplicate jars). Reassessing needs from time to time (maybe even twice a year instead of once) can help keep the overwhelm of de-stash/de-clutter down to a dull roar.
good point about the different width jars. i never thought of that but i love wide mouth jars and my fave is a giant pickle jar... i used to drink iced tea out of that and i don't know what happened to it!
Got 2 shelves decluttered while watching. Thanks, Carla! 😁
THAT WAS VERY MOTIVATIONAL, THANKYOU GIRLY.
You did so good Carla! Goes to show there’s always something we can declutter. Yesterday I hit the “can’t think straight” mode and need to finish it later. Would I move with this item is a great thing to keep in mind. Awwwwe, the gimme treats face on Samson, such a cutie. 🐶💕
the jar obsessions is so real. I took a jar from work one day that wasnt being used and I had it on my desk and my boss was like oh! thats a nice jar! and moved it somewhere else so I went back for it after a few hours and the next day he asked. what happened to that nice jar? I was hell bent on taking the jar home and I have no idea where it could be in my kitchen 🤣
I have always used the "Would I want to move this!" It works!!!!!!!!
Supplements fascinate me. I only used folic acid and iron tables during pregnancy prescribed by the doctor.
There are so many, how do you know what needs supplementing, do they work, are they just a placibo like mind over matter.
While you were helping your sister I was just amazed at the amount she had also.
I didn't grow up in a supplement taking family. Maybe I would be more open to it if I did 🤔
They work. I’ve tried life with and without and can tell a difference. My regulars are probiotic collagen and magnesium plus others periodically haha
Those drawers are not hard to repair if you investigate a little bit! You’re pretty handy! 👍🏻✌🏻💕😊
Hi Carla! Great job! I've been decluttering this week too! I wish you would store the scraper that's in your cleaning caddy with the blade pointing down so you don't accidently cut your self when reaching past it to grab something else in the caddy! Be safe!
Honey never expires. It might crystallize, but it’s still good. They’ve excavated tombs with honey, and the honey was fine! It’s a law in the US to put expectation dates on all items, and because this is a consumer country, they often label items as expires long before it goes bad. Honey and most spices don’t expire. Spices might loose their flavors, then you can compost. I noticed you don’t compost any food. There must be community gardens you can take food waste.
You know your blue "splatter bowl"? It's lovely! Consider propping it up and leaning it on the wall behind (if that is safe) so you can enjoy the design of it. It will also free up some shelf space. I just rewatched this. Inspired to get a few more items out today.
The jar struggle is real 😂. Good luck
Love your channel Carla! I have been decluttering all weekend and it feels so good!
I think that the augusten farm food is a good option for her if she can't rotate regular canned food. the Augusten farms stays good for a long time. Nice job!
Thank you Carla, for another fantastic declutter, I was so motivated by this one that I recycled lots and lots of cardboard boxes I'd been storing in my shed, tomorrow the jars have to go 😂. I'm looking forward to your next video, loving the series with your sister ❤
Wonderful!🥳🥳🥳
I would give the wine chiller to someone for Christmas 🎄 😊
The J in Tajin is pronounce as an H in Spanish.. ( Ta-heen).. For vases you could paint them a different color to match your decor or your mood.
If you can remove the top off of the wine chiller, it would make an adorable stand for a small Christmas tree
You try a lot of new products. Thanks for sharing how it just flows in.
Oh good. Sampson got a treat.
The music is wonderful. And it is so funny to watch you and think "that's me!" ha ha ha. Nice video my friend! And your fridge front looks familiar too. Wine Chiller would be great if you ever entertain in the summer?
Your dog is too funny. When you told him that you had nothing for him, his eyes said "now you know you're WRONG for that."🤣
Exactly 😂
Great video! I was just thinking I need to go through my frig and remove expired items. This week, for sure! I love your tea drawer!
You should sell the wine chiller.
Great video and you always have cool background music, thank you!
I can so relate to the conversation you had with yourself over some random glass jars! It’s so hard.
I get such a kick out of your commentary! You didn’t spell treats this time. It feels calming to watch you. Your kind and humorous manner with your family and friends is lovely. I strive a lot lower-5 things to discard or donate a day. I’ve been doing that for years and it does help. Bless you!😊
Oh thank you!
We’ve come full circle. Your very first video that I watched was of your kitchen declutter. We’ve come a long way.
Love that!😍
ive been decluttering slowly over the last few years and ive gone down to half my stuff so i feel happy with whats left now 🙌🌼💛 enjoying your vids x
Omg samson ❤ he’s soo cute. Dogs just know how to give that face for us to just give them a treat ❤
There's always *something* that needs to go! Decluttering comes so naturally to me now, especially in high-use areas like the kitchen and bathroom. Every once in awhile I find items that hung around well past their usefulness, but not too often. The closet remains my big project always, with seasonal decluttering and annual reorganizing.
Your videos are always so motivating, I feel invigorated to declutter my space. About supplements, you probably dont need all of them, real food is better, I like those meals that you advertise. I would say that taking good quality fish oils are maybe some of the most important. I like to see someone who takes charge of her health.
I think I’ve come to realize my issue with being consistent with decluttering is how I’m contributing to the landfill… I recycle, but I know that not everything gets recycled and I have done some major decluttering. I spent a week feeling guilty for things that I threw in the trash. I need to figure out how to overcome this because I want declutter, but I’m also very sensitive about the impact that I leave on the planet.
I'd use the wine cooler as a vase.
Wine cooler as a vase!
Hi! Always a joy to see a new video from you! Just an idea, you can use the flower paper that you used to line your drawers to line the rest of your kitchen drawers/cabinets 😃
You always keep it real, thanks for helping us be gentle with ourselves because that's exactly what I do, um and ah over 'protein shake' items that I don't use and regret buying. Samson so cute when you said the magic word 'treat'. LOL
I’m a minimalist have been since I was young, yet there is still always something to de clutter and organize. By the way- you look great Carla!
Oh thank you!🥰🥰🥰
Can you regift the wine chiller? That would make for a super sweet housewarming gift if you have someone.
Also, solid 10/10 for how much your declutter has been! You’re a great reminder for me! ❤️
I love your stove Carla I like how it has a lid covering the burnings
I watched this, and immediately went and tidied my kitchen cupboards. I only have a few, and they are small and in parts inaccessible. Which leads to so much on the surfaces. You inspired me to review what I need and tidy it all and clear out things I am not using or need [I struggle itb the thought of landfill, so that side of it is difficult for me too].
I didn't take long, but wouldn't have done it if I hadn't watched your video. Thank you so much Carla.
(You said t.r.e.a.t.s. out loud and his disappointment was real.... Smooshy hugs to Samson.)
xx
I’m exactly the same about jars. I decant ‘stuff’ from original jar into smaller, keepable jar when I’ve used so much of it and then recycle the bigger jar. My husband asks how I know what’s in it or the expiry date. I put it on a piece of tape and stick it on the jar. Doh.
Tajín is very popular here in Mexico. People usually put it on fresh veggies like celery and carrots.
Bravo!!! I’m on this journey too!!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰🌺🌺
What would you have asked/said to your Sister about the unused Wine Cooler? Keep or Donate? 😂
Yesssssssss a Carla Video!!!! I was just listening to you and Cass' podcast while organizing my basement. Now I just sat down to have lunch and find this video! Love it! -Lety from Chicago
I have a HARD time letting go of jars too…. Like how many am I really going to use at any given time?! But you know… it’s a good jar! 😅
Loved the background music
This was a really good one!
I always feel so inspired! Thank youb for walking us through the process each time!
You are so welcome!
I am sooo happy when I get here early! I have a cup of coffee and banana bread and now I have something to watch. Perfect timing!
Ive been going through a lifetimes worth of Christmas decorations. Getting rid of at least half organizing the rest so that it will be easier to use in the future.
I also had a jar 🫙 problem they are gone now 😊❤
Loved this! Great and inspiring! Will start tomorrow!
Carla, you need motion activated lights for under that sink! I got long narrow USB ones on Amazon and have them in all of the closets and sink cupboards now. Best thing ever for we older ladies whose vision isn't what it used to be.
I'm having a oven and hob installed Tuesday and I have to empty some cupboards and drawers. An ideal time to go through them. I also have a thing about jars or things that can be repurposed, like ferrero rocher tubs 🤦♀️they do come in handy. I have matching jars for my washing pods and kitchen cleaner tablets, and a ferrero tub in the car for mints when travelling 😆
Nice job! Now I want to do my kitchen cabinets. Which are all over flowing. Thank you for the motivation. Can’t wait for your next video. Have a great day.
Thank you. That liner you did in your kitchen drawers would have been cute in the closet
Thank you!! I needed an end of the year push to get decluttering
This is so inspirational.
Well done! I'm inspired! Thank you!
For any supplement, you can get used to the taste especially bitter herbs. For the detox tea, you could of keep trying and then eventually you get used to it and your liver will thank you
Carla, you are the best. Thank you for the inspiration and practical advice. I am going to organize one cupboard tomorrow.
Have fun!❤️❤️
I love your videos. I decluttered my kitchen this weekend and I can say I definitely got rid of 25 or more items. Thank for sharing!
That is awesome!💝💝
Hi Ms Carla I've downsized 25+ items in the last 6 months and they are going to my niece ( brand new ! ) and 2 other female relatives new lifestyles 👋 they want it 💖
My donate items ( meaning brand new ) for things I know will make their new condos have a part of our culture and family... All 25 each week is what I mean ) neatly 📦 packaged
Unless you store it wrong (in the fridge for instance or somewhere moist), honey never expires. They found some in pharaoh tombs and it was still edible thousands of years later. It’s (sadly) a regulation to put expiry dates on everything.
Good job. I'm proud of you 🎉
I just did this to..i found it easier to get rid...because i love the clear non bulky items
Amazing!
Hello! I just found out about your channel. It was in my recommended feed. But I just found out and wondered if you knew, 'natural, properly preserved honey will not expire.' archeologists found honey thousands of years old in ancient Egyptian tombs, and it was still good. But the faux stuff obviously will expire. I love your vintage stove! Is it gas? The silver vase you kept looks like it needs to be polished. Thank you for the inspiration. I have a few cupboards and a butler's pantry that needs some deep decluttering. Also, did you know, 'Most vitamins are considered safe for up to two years past their expiration date (unless they contain mold), but may become less potent over time.' Something I just learned. LOL Oh my goodness your furbaby is so funny!
Sampson is the coolest dog!
love this series
But good for you you got this I have to do that to my dining table. I have been busy all week with a family funeral helping them out attending just helping helping helping and I am glad I’m home because when I’m home I can do things around the house if I’m constantly busy I’m in and out of the house ignoring things and I think my dining table becomes the catchall so I need to go through it. I have a lot of boxes that I need to get rid of Just clutter a lot of that is stuff. My stuff is recycle.
THXS FOR SHAREING IM GOING TO DECLUTTER MY KITCHEN CABINETS TOMORROW..GREAT JOB😊 LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING UR NEXT VIDEO MUCH APPRECIATED N MUCH LOVE ❤
I get Carla, my kitchen is full of jars. I'm also a Canner, prepping foods
I declutter Christmas decorations as I decorate. I get them quickly to a thrift store so they can sell them. Give those supplements and powders to other friends then you can declutter them from their homes later. Hahaha! I am going to declutter crafts and sewing items in January.
Great job!!!! I LOVE your dog and you😂❤!
Love u back!!☺️
Well done. 👏👏👏❤️🌺
Amazing job! 💖 You are so minimalist already in your kitchen, but you got rid of so much! I did my kitchen about 2 weeks ago. Got rid of quite a bit also. Mostly food. Already pretty minimal when it comes to other stuff. You and I have about the same cupboard space, aka- not much. 😄
The most difficult part for me to declutter is the kitchen. My closet and rest of the house is very organized, however my kitchen 😩 cause I cook a lot I’m also a chef professionally so having tools and condiments is important for anytime I’m experimenting a new recipes. I’m actually watching this video to get motivated and do some declutter: I started today and so far I have not find anything to let go. HELP HELP
I put together a box to take to the food bank tomorrow just this morning!
It’s good to share the things you don’t use with family or friends. I do not anymore because most will not say no free stuff and it then becomes clutter in their home. It still gets wasted whether I throw it out now or they throw it out later.
