      That would be more of something I’d probably put on my other channel Mid-Century Wasted where I actually sell the vintage things, but maybe I can talk a bit about the sales process while I’m cleaning out and organizing my office. Thanks for the idea!

    At first I was sad you were doing the credenza - I so want you to tackle the visible spaces in your home. But wow, what a great declutter! And moving the candles into the top drawer was a great choice 😊

    • @Jamie_Chaotic
      @Jamie_Chaotic  2 дня назад +3

      Thank you! It’s definitely harder for me to want to prioritize the hidden spaces too, especially when there are still boxes sitting out! But I know that once the insides of these cabinets are more empty, I’ll have room to put some of the things that are sitting out. A lot of the reason so much stuff hasn’t been getting put “away” is because there is no room in the “away” to put them 🤣 This one felt great and even though no one can see the clutter behind closed doors, I know it’s there and it still stresses me out! 😆 it’s a big sense of relief for me knowing there’s some emptiness in these cupboards!

      @Jamie_Chaotic I know what you mean about the upkeep of things you love. We just inherited my mother-in-law's silver. My 93-year-old sister-in-law has moved in with us, and she insisted on giving us the silver now. It needs polishing, but my heart jumped when I placed the pieces in the silverware chest. It's funny how we react to things we truly cherish.

    I have a love for vintage table linens and handkerchiefs, but they live in boxes. I don't have the heart to rehome them, and I couldn't possibly cut them up for other crafts. My logical brain says to sell them, but the colors and designs just make me happy. I need a place to display things like that some day. I also have small kids (5, 2 and pregnant), so they may live in storage for some time yet.

    • @Jamie_Chaotic
      @Jamie_Chaotic  13 часов назад

      If something makes you that happy, I say keep them! Right now you’re in the throes of having little kids and big projects can wait. I’ve been there and it’s a lot!! Three under 5 or 6 is intense! Eventually when things settle down and you have time for projects you would sort through them, find a nice way to store and display them, etc. but I totally empathize with that being “some day” when you have littles! 🩵

      I ended up just throwing that box away! Once I moved the candles to the drawer that got pitched to the trash. I have matches in the kitchen that I know don’t belong there, once I eventually move on to that room I’ll put the matches with the candles. But you’re right, I do need a whole emergency “kit” because the stuff we have is all over the place, mostly in the garage, and not easy to find. It’s going on the list!

    About twenty five years ago,a friend gave me a ton of stuff to sell in my yard sale .(Her mom had passed and she was just going to leave it on the curb.) Having grown up in the sixties and seventies, MCM is just not my vibe.(Been there ,done that) I ended up making over $800.00,but probably could have made more. I was selling a large vase just like one of yours which held zero value to me. So a young couple brings it to me and says, “So…….you have 25 dollars on this?……” so I jumped in and laughed and said, “Heavens NO! 25 cents!” They looked at each other,grabbed a quarter to give me and skipped away! Now I’m wondering if they were trying to talk me down to 20 dollars?😳
    Oh well,I made a young couple’s day! (I’ve had my own super garage sale finds myself: large Coach bag for $5.00 and about $300.00 worth of my DANSK dish pattern for $2.00 for the entire box.)What goes around,comes around!🤭

    • @Jamie_Chaotic
      @Jamie_Chaotic  2 дня назад

A lady tried to hand me a quarter for it and when I said, “ No,it’s twenty five dollars”, she shrugged and pulled out a twenty and a five! (I guess she was trying for the deal of a lifetime.)😵‍💫

      I’ve used the museum wax before and should probably do it again since I’m in earthquake territory. But I ultimately stopped because I was moving them around a lot and adding to my collection.

    • @Jamie_Chaotic
      @Jamie_Chaotic  2 дня назад +2

      First of all, thank you for being a foster mom! That is a beautiful thing. I’m certainly no expert, but I can share what I’ve done that has helped. Mine are 6 and 8 so we’re right in that same age range with you. My kids also share a room and it can be very overwhelming in there! I think the best choice I’ve made is keeping the toys out of their room. Plushies are the only thing in there besides furniture and clothes, and even now they have gotten out of hand. But things like toys, books, legos, blocks, etc… the things with all the tiny pieces… if you can store them anywhere other than the bedroom, that has helped immensely. We use that walk in storage closet under our stairs. It gets messy in there for sure, but it’s also nicely hidden.
      Once all the toys are out, if you’re able to find another place for them, then the issue really just becomes keeping up with laundry and clothes. Cutting down on the number of clothes helps, even putting away seasonal clothes into a storage bin if you have big changes in weather. (We don’t where we live, but I’ve heard other moms say this helps them a lot).
      Also just remember if and when you do get rid of stuff, that is helping the kids not hurting them. A clean, clutter free, open space is much more calming and comforting to a kid than one that is overstimulating filled with toys and clothes. As parents it can be hard to let go of things because we don’t want to feel like we’re being neglectful or that our kids will be missing out on something. I never want my kids to feel scarcity. But too much is far worse for them, especially if you have any kids with neurodivergence like mine does with ADHD. That’s been a huge motivation for me to declutter the whole house - knowing how the visual clutter, disorganization, and lack of storage causes him to feel upset and overwhelmed. It’s also prevented him from managing his own chores, because everything seems sooo much harder for him when the house is a mess. The less stuff we have everywhere, especially in his room, I’ve noticed a big change in the way he manages his own chores. I’m getting lots of fewer meltdowns or fight back.
      Hopefully this helps!

Up until this point they have had a box spring directly on the floor with their mattress on top… specifically so there is NOT an under the bed! But now they’ll have real bed frames and their beds will have an “under” so we’ll see how it goes!
