I think the initial declutter , while it may feel wasteful in some ways, helps us consider and appreciate what comes into our home after, so overall there is less consumption and waste.
This is so true. It forces you to face decisions you made in the past. The discomfort of that has helped me to change my habits.
I agree! I’m very careful what I bring in to our home now.
Such a good point! It's so hard for us to face our poor buying decisions too.
Since I declutter my clothes, (no more work clothes, sold, tossed, donated), I no longer need to change seasons. All my clothes are in drawers or hung up in the closet. So liberating!
Lovely video 😊
Living with less is something I began a decade ago... Definitely wouldn't go back
It is so much easier to keep a clean home when there are fewer items sitting everywhere. As always, a great video!
I so appreciate your gentle reminders of what maintenance looks like.
Your simplistic home is so calm. LOVE all your plants.
Wow, I feel the same way! I love how others decorate even if it is a lot but in my home, I just can’t.
people who decorate always say to me "oh you would hate filtering to my house with all stuff"..... they think I'm lying when I say I really do enjoy it outside of my own home
99% of the time once I get sidetracked from the possible impulse purchase I completely forget about it. I am at the point where I only buy to replace something that broke or wore out and even then I really think about if it even needs to be replaced. Because of arthritis I don’t go puttering around stores which helps immensely. Have a great day.
I hope you have a great day too!
Happy Sunday Everyone! 💖
I want/need to try the writing it down for impulse buys. I don’t shop too much but occasionally I go through a spurt where I start buying things, but usually the things I end up decluttering are my impulse buys. I also declutter regularly now. I went through a big whole house declutter in 2020 and since I’ve fallen in love with it and with keeping my house simplified. It’s very freeing and rewarding to clean out and organize all my spaces, big and small.
I am in the process of decluttering my sewing / craft room. It's overwhelming to think of everything I've donated / gotten rid of & all the stuff I still have. I know I need to get rid of even more. Hopefully, this week, I'll be able to do that. 🤪
yay! Good job =)
Great tips as always, with the visual of how you maintain simplified home. I particularly relate to the ability to appreciate what others are doing whilst still feeling content in my own space.
Thanks- this was great ! I’m going to my Brother and Sister in laws for church today so I had time to watch this - I think the same thing I enjoy what others decorate with but realize I don’t need to go buy it plus I am on a strict budget . 😊
Love your content as always. I always appreciate your contentment with your home and how you are making it your own. ❤
Thank you so much!
Another great video!! For me the two hardest categories are sentimental and just in case items. Each year I’m improving and able to declutter a bit more in those categories. It’s also helpful that my kids are grown so they can decide for themselves which childhood sentimental things they’d like to save. ❤😊🐦
Yes I feel the same way about loving interior design and enjoying seeing what others do in their homes. I’m still drawn to decor items but feel less need to purchase as many as I have in the past. I remind myself that I don’t like having to dust a lot of items.
I just cleaned out my serving platters, bowls etc and I have 4 boxes of things to donate. I have mixed feelings about some of the things because they're really nice and I like them a lot. However I have much more than I need and some had never been used while others hadn't been used in over 5 years. I'm trying to think of the people who will find them at the thrift shop and be happy to use them. Passing things on is a good thing! Right? 😐🐦
I would love to see you offer a bunch of fruit paintings!!
Always the best advice, Shannon❤ I needed a little motivation today, and your home is a beautiful example!
Thank you so much!
I've been following these rules lately & it really does help me. Thank you for all your help!
Thank you for this video, I am at the decluttering maintenance level like you.
It really work. 🙌😀
Beautiful and calming. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!❤Thank you for all the wonderful tips!❤I definitely like the 1 in 1 out rule, or 1 in 2 out is even better!
Such great tips!!!
Thank you so much!
You have a beautiful home 😊❤️
Wow, thank you!
Just had my morning coffee with you, look forward to our Sunday mornings! You have great decluttering tips. Love your enthusiasm for dusting!
Yes...I have lists on Amazon, potential future purchases just sitting in the cart, many get deleted later, when revisited.
Hope other viewers are watching and subscribed to your husband's channel, he's very entertaining.
Hi Linda, so happy to have you here. I hope you had a nice Sunday.
I miss seeing your mom!
Yes I appreciate going into other people’s homes and it’s all decorative but what I’m at now in my life, I’m not able to much- newly divorced after 30 years and in an apartment with a daughter
I’m sure I’ll dig deeper and be more ruthless when daughter is on her own
Where did you get your kids desks from in their room? Looking for something similar for my boys who homeschool ❤️
I put that together with Ikea. It is 2 of the sets of drawers then you just add the tabletop (whatever size you need) to the top. =)
Your house looks awesome.
Thank you!
Very informative, excellent and lovely video
Great vid,, Say Hi to Kathy!!!! love seeing her with you in the vids,,, Im 70 and she's got hoot-spah to be on camera.....lol
Thank you I will tell her hi =)
We live in SoCal too so it seems like we only have 2 seasons Summer and sorta winter.
Yes, exactly. The seasons don't vary much lol.
I'm all about donating. Does your oldest look like your husband? That sunglasses thing was spot on.
Great ideas
😊
Hey S, omg how time flies by so fast I remember not that long ago when you announced that Levi was on the way and he's already 2. He's adorable. I wish I had you as a neighbor so you could body double with me. Unfortunately I'm all the way in New York City, far far away 🙁
I can't believe how fast time flys by with kids. I hope you are doing well =)
@@shannontorrens1 oh believe me I know, my TWINS are close to your age. My IDENTICAL TWINS are 35 yrs old now, I feel so old lol.
@@lisarivers1438body doubling is just working along with someone else so you could just play a video of hers or one of the minimal moms videos
Gracias
We are alot alike we both are creative and love interior design but every since leaving a toxic relationship im getting rid of all of my art supplies because im not using it 😢 kinda sad i know
So all of my kids are now either teenagers or young adults still at home. One of them declutters often. But the other two areas of our home are a bit overwhelming. How would you approach this?
Well I can't really add to the conversation about teenagers since I am not there yet, but to a degree even now I let my 2 older boys keep what they want in their room. As long as it fits in their room and we can keep it organized then they can have the items. I have come to the conclusion that certain things that seem like junk to me are important to them so as long as it's kept in order I just let it go. =) But I have heard of some parents paying their kids for each trash bag they fill up to donate as an incentive.
I have to respect my grandma's just in case mentality shes a baby boomer I'm trying we are so different
We live together by the way she is my helper I'm grateful for her
I've kept stuff just in case, we had a major leak under our house from neighbours, mould got in, we thought we'd solved the issue but next winter even more stuff was getting musty. I'd gotten rid of a lot because I'd had to clean up but
I watched Shannon with her Mom one night, next day I got up and PURGED. I had to get those things out I'd been hanging onto before they were destroyed and into the hands of someone who would appreciate them. I'm not a boomer but I understand that mentality too. I love history and to look at old things but I'm not taking good care of them if I'm not using them and not passing them on to someone who will. That's how I looked at it.
@@nataliesutherland5584just declutter your things first and then start in with doubles of items
Why aren’t your children putting their things away themselves? Label or put a picture on the container where the items belong. Sing the clean up song. You get it out, you put it up. I had 3 sons with a play room and this worked wonderfully. Of course I started when they were toddlers.
They do, but they weren't home that day and I wanted to have their room clean. I am sure there were days when you cleaned up after your kids =)
I love your simplicity and down to earth approach! I totally relate to everything you said! I had to stop watching so many home decor type videos because I was trying to live up to that and would get discouraged thinking my house will never look like theirs or I would buy more stuff because I thought it would help look like their Pinterest looking homes and organizational perfect looks almost like trying to be “like the jones” even though that’s not me! So even though they’re helpful for me they just give me more anxiety so I look for videos like yours “relatable” 🥰
