I like how you talked through your decisions. Very helpful!
Hi Erica, I'm glad you liked hearing my thoughts. It did help to talk out loud. Thank you for letting me know it was helpful.
Hearing the thought process is so helpful. I appreciate when the RUclips ladies share what they're thinking and feeling. Decluttering is more than just physically pulling items out and getting rid of them. It's also letting go of those items mentally and emotionally. It's reasoning through the decision to keep or let go. That takes practice. And until we hear it out loud, we often don't recognize those connections that allow us to make the best decisions toward our individual goals. Sharing the thought process is part of the training. I am grateful for all of the RUclips ladies who share their expertise. Thank you, Denise! Thank you, Erica! Thank you all!!!
@@MelindaPlainandSimple ❤️
My hero.
Hahaha! Karen, thank you. I'm trying. Just trying to get the decluttering started.
Good job Denise! You let go of a lot! Made me laugh out loud when you put that little measuring glass back. 😂 this is how we all are.
FYI, the playlist link goes to last month’s collab. ❤️
Hey Rachel, hahaha! And guess what...I used that little measuring glass yesterday but yeah, crazy. That's the danger of putting it on the counter and not directly in a box. I'm trying to do better. Really I am. Oh...thanks for the headsup on the playlist link. I made the needed correction.
@@Nourishingminimalism Thank you. I took care of it.
Alejandra Costello Simplessity program would be perfect for you
I was thinking 'no! It needs to go into quarantine! '
Denise, your video is so calm and collected compared to my frantic one. I like yours better! haha much love. xx
Hi Jennifer, too funny. Calm I was not. Like I said, I was feeling a visceral reaction...anxiety, rapid heart rate, trepidation...the whole nine. But progress I made. It was the beginning of my Swedish Death Cleaning. Now that it's started, I want to do more. Gotta do it. Just way too much stuff. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
@@homemakingwithdenise Even though you weren't calm, you made me feel calm, haha! You always do!
Except for the clinking of the dishes. I kept turning the volume up and down.
@@VioletJoy Hmmmm. Hello Violet Joy. You know, I usually let the sounds of whatever I'm working on come through on the video within reason. I'm sorry the dish noises were a bit off-putting. Can't promise it won't happen again because it probably will but do come back anyway.
@@homemakingwithdenise I'll try again. It was just too much for my ears. I love these types of videos though, even though I'm very organized and minimal.
You’re right our kids don’t won’t our stuff I’m joining you and Ms Darcy bit by bit♥️
You're sweet. I have often relied upon the scripture to store my treasures up in heaven and our Father has prepared a place just for me in His house. This helps me lay it all down at His feet. IT IS HARD!!!!
Oh my goodness...peace and quiet. I love your channel name. Such good advice. Thank you.
I think you won the challenge.
This was my 1st time watching. You kept it real & I appreciate that. Getting rid of things can be hard especially items from loved ones. You remind me it's about progress not perfection.
Your cabinets are beautifully organized!
Thank you for the honesty about 9 sets of dishes. I wouldn't have counted before you said that. I LOVE dishes. Good work.
My first time visiting your channel and I love your style! I will be back. Thanks for your support.
You’re doing a great job ms Denise it’s a process of down sizing .. I believe the more we do it the more we can let things go after we see how organize it is tfs‼️
I know how hard it is for you to part with dishes so I applaud you!! Funny how much easier it was for you to pare down glasses and mugs. Look at all the space you gained!! Bravo.
I feel your pain, I love dishes! Good Luck...
Bit by bit! I’m not suggesting you’re a hoarder, but I love the way A Hoarder’s Heart talks herself through the decluttering process to avoid getting overwhelmed-start with easy things (whether it’s trash or an item you feel no attachment) and build momentum.
Awww, I would feel right at home in your kitchen for sure! I understand all the feelings associated with parting with objects which remind you of good memories and family. I was fortunate enough to be able to pass on some heirloom type dishes to my daughter as I cautioned her that she didn't have to accept them. I have other family who might accept some items as well. But like you, I must downsize my inventory so that my kids don't have to deal with all this stuff in the future. And the sooner I can give it to them, the better off I am, the less I have to clutter my cabinets AND my mind with. The more I declutter, even the hard stuff/sentimental, the easier it becomes, the more solidified my resolve. I love the freeing feeling I get from decluttering. So keep on keeping on, my friend.
I loved how you put your small measuring cup back in with the rest. I know it hard to see your cabinets with more space, but I think you will enjoy it more in the long run. I don’t think You will miss the stuff you put away in quarantine. I say you donate it 😊 also I think it will help to reorganize your plates so you don’t see the extra space and will want to fill it back up.
I don't use 90% of my dishes. You have inspired me to let go. Thanks for sharing.
My mom liked roosters too, and had little decorative ones all around her kitchen. I've tried not to collect anything in my kitchen, but it did bring a smile to my face when I saw your plates!
Your hair is so cute.
Hi Name Twin, I like to put it up every now and then. Usually on "bad hair" days. Do you have any decluttering you need to do?
Good for you! You are a good example for me to plan for my children to not have to get rid of it all when I'm gone.
I am downsizing in every room of my house. I will try the 15 min exercise.
So many pretty dishes for others to enjoy a bit more than you have been lately 😊 lots more room for the things you need more in your life
Thank you Khadijiah. You're right. Let things go to serve others so the things I use, well, I'v e got room for them.
I am new to your channel and plan to watch you regularly. You are awesome.
The great lessons from your 15 minutes project today that I needed to learn is that it is ok to take time to think through decision and not race the clock even though a timer is set.
My very elderly parents have as many many more sets as you have. My sister and I dread dealing with their house when they pass.
My own adult children have told me they do not want my good china. Lol
Exactly. My mom died in August and I am still dealing with some of the stuff we had to clear out of her house. And most of it, I didn't want and the grands didn't want it. My stuff...I already know, my daughter wants my china but other than that...not much. She's got a house full of her own stuff. Stuff from three moves that some of which never got unpacked so you know she doesn't need mine. Thank you for picking out the lessons I tried to subtly teach in this video.
I love purging and decluttering. I have one set of dishes that I use for everyday, and one set of Christmas dishes. That's it!
Cheyenne, how nice. I was at my niece's house yesterday and her cabinets...one set of dishes beautifully displayed and so few. I was like wow. I need to work on that. I'm getting there.
Just discovered you, and so appreciate your logical approach. We're not all minimalists, and when cupboards are orderly, as yours, there is no reason to go down to hardly any dishes. We are sorting out ourselves, and it's difficult, but getting down to a realistic amount is good enough. We'll done!
It is hard, I want to relive the story behind every item! Setting a timer keeps me moving!
Em...I am so glad I'm not the only one. My husband was just saying that I had a story for each item and he's right. I've got to just treasure the memories and let the things go.
Love the roosters I have rooster theme in my kitchen
One thing I find helpful is that I can always rent or thrift & re-donate if I have a big hosting event. I don't have to keep my home stuffed full of things I barely use, and I don't have to use single-use wasteful items to have the option of hosting. There are still other options!
Well done 👏 your presses look great. Mary 👏👍💐
I'[m trying to get there!
Great job! I could see how hard that plate cabinet was! I can relate.... You're a beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing!
The plates spark the memories of the meals which in turn sparks the memory of the people and events...so difficult to let them go.
I’ve been working on my house room by room since moving in.
I could t donate anything last year due to the pandemic so now it’s happening. UGH a big job but I know I will feel so much better when done.
Kandyce, yes...that's it. The plates spark the memories of all the meals, all the joy, from when I used them with family. But my family cannot absorb nor do they want all those dishes. They have their own stuff. I'm trying. It's more than a notion.
You have a point Jess. That makes sense to me. It's called Blessing someone else campaign.
Take a picture of the things that spark a memory but are not used and just taking up space. You can look back and have those memories but not the actual stuff that just takes up space.
Oh...Jess. I like that idea. I was at my sister's today and we were talking about entertaining and whether or not I'd be able to entertain like I used to do. I'm not. Now that I've got there...and it took a minute to get there...I can begin to declutter more.
@@homemakingwithdenise this is what I did with several things from my grandparents and my childhood. I am not a minimalist by any means, but I do understand that I only have so much space. I have kept the most cherished things and taken pictures of the rest. I am still working on this, don't get me wrong. I am still working on my home and my husband is a bit of a Horder (just don't tell him because he won't believe it) but this is what I have been doing.
@@ChristIsLord247 We are all a work in progress. I'm just glad that I got things started.
I'm down to two sets of dishes - one formal/fussy and the other is a fancy everyday. I love using the fancy stuff to teach my grandkids how to dine versus eat.
I need to go through my coffee mug cabinet. It's a HUGE mess. I stick to my three coffee mugs, my tea only mug, and my two special Christmas mugs.
(I promise I won't touch them again! 😝)
I just found your channel on the playlist. This was so encouraging to see how much you got done in just 15 minutes! You did great. I had sooooo many dishes and glasses when I started decluttering. It was so hard for me to get rid of them. Now looking back I think “what was I thinking I only need one plate to eat off of, and one cup to drink out of, I cannot drink 20 glasses of drink. why did I have so many?!” It was interesting to me how emotionally attached I was to all my things.
Aww! I could hear in your voice how hard it was for you to let go of your plates. Almost made me cry 😢.
I don't want to leave a bunch of stuff behind for people to deal with either. We don't have kids, so that burden would probably fall to my nieces. I already know they don't want or need my stuff so they'll likely throw it all in a dumpster. I'd rather give it away now to people who can use it.
My decluttering of dishes came about by necessity. A really nice Williams Sonoma set I had about 10 years ago that I bought at an estate sale I got rid of because they didn't fit in my dishwasher racks.
A set of Russell Wright I gave to one of my sons because I used them only for special occasions, if I remembered, and I wanted more room in the cabinet they were in.
My last set of nice white porcelain I gave to another son because they were heavy enough to cause pain in my arthritic hands when I was trying to use them or clean them. I replaced those with Corelle, just a set of 4, but I bought extras of those wide, flat soup(?) bowls like the ones you use for spaghetti, because I use those the most.
I guess if I ever have all my children here at one time and with grandchildren, I'll have to use Chinette😄
I appreciate your working through this and sharing with us, I seem to always need to do this with glassware and travel cups/mugs.
You know, I do like Chinette. I may be using more of it. It's such a quandary.
How providential that your video comes up just as I'm decluttering before a move. 32+ years of stuff. It's hard to do. So emotional. I decided to take pictures of the items that have more sentimental value than purpose, that weren't heirlooms.
I love that you decluttered your cabinets. As a woman who has been married for 23 years, I can totally understand your feelings about your plates! You've earned a new subscriber :) (Came over from Frugal Fit Mom)
I appreciate seeing your process, Denise! Meal time holds so many memories which I think is why it can be so difficult to part with dishware.
I like that after thinking on it and talking about what plates you still really want to keep that you simply called it. Pushing ourselves but then knowing our limit helps us to continue forward with positivity ☺
Looking forward to seeing other videos of yours!
You are so right ,our children don’t want our stuff .
Hey Sis! Well done! I am in the process of needing to do this too! Well done! I have a 15 min Challenge to myself & sometimes it works lol Hugs,love and Many Blessings ♥️🏠♥️🏠♥️🏠
What a pretty lady you are! This isn’t always easy, but don’t we feel much less loaded down afterwards? It’s so unexpectedly freeing!
I love your honesty and that you shared your thinking process with us! I'm getting rid to declutter my kitchen, and I know I'll be doing the same thing.
I like how you made your decisions Denise! Your video was very calming and helpful, and I’ve subscribed to your channel to see more of your processes for decluttering and organizing!
Emotional connections are why I have things that I NEVER use!!! It's very hard.. but I think about cleaning out my mother-in-law house after she died.. stuff everywhere that most of us had no clue what her emotional connections were.. So A good reason to sort and I'm thinking I should label the stuff given to me that are sentimental.. so my kids have a clue. But the time and effort .. I'm a procrastinator.
I have found that sometimes I use something(s) because I feel like I should because I have it but my actual preference is to use something else or I am neutral to what I use. Those kind of things need to go and are a relief to not have them on my “silent to-do or use” lists.
You did a great job! All the dishes were so pretty. That would have been very difficult for me too.
I’m going to try this idea. I have anxiety and PTSD and getting rid of things is so difficult for me. But 15 minutes seem like something I can do… maybe 😅
Kudos Denise! It’s hard to start sometimes but kitchen is great place to start. You are working your decluttering muscles! 💜 You did great, a you can always go back a few months later and get rid of more if you want. Baby steps! 💜
Baby steps.I like that Michelle. I'm already looking at the space again thinking what did I overlook that can be let go.
Challenge accepted! I’m doing this tomorrow in my kitchen. ☺️
You made some tough decisions! 😃 I collect dishes but love and use the sets we have. 🌷 I also bear in mind the fact that one day the kids will have to sift and sort through all of the stuff. I bring far fewer items into the house these days and am definitely more intentional about purchases. 🌸 Thanks for sharing! 💕
Hi Denise! I really need to do this 😩 It is so hard when you collect so much over the years. Thanks for sharing.
I really needed to see this, love how you set a timer, that’s what I have started doing with overwhelming tasks. Be Blessed
I noticed your Apron immediately!
I love aprons! My son got me one at an estate sale a few years ago!
Yours is BEAUTIFUL ! 🤩
I feel you with the dishes. I had the same struggle. Interesting what you say about minimalizing things in the house. We did that. Realized if we didn't want it and my daughter didn't want it, why did we have it? So out it all went. Doing another big cleanout next week. All best to you.
We’re with our daughter this week and I think I’ll ask her what she might want. That will make things a bit easier.
I’m going through my mugs tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m going to do this starting this morning and everyday until I have things arranged so that they are manageable. Thanks!
Hi Bargain Searcher, the 15 minute challenge works really well. It only allows you so much time to stress or mull over it. And daily is a good idea or four days a week so you have a few days not to think on it. Get things out to the donation center right away so you are not tempted to put it back in the cupboard.
I'm so glad to have come across this video. We are so 'on the same page.' I'm looking forward to catching up on some of your past videos. May God bless you as you bless others😍
Thanks for this video. I'm not stressed listening are viewing it. I applaud you. For me I love and think I need everything I have. Trying to figure out which item to keep is to much stress so I get frustrated and keep them all. The other problem I'm now dealing with is I'm still buying more items. The items I have and the new items I purchased I (had) to buy more bins to store them. I do give things away unfortunately it doesn't look like I do because I have to much old and new things.
Loved that you shared your thoughts with us. Great job on your first pass of many through your kitchen.
Hi Kellie, I am glad you enjoyed me sharing my thoughts. Sometimes I wonder if I am talking too much. I appreciate your letting me know that you enjoy it. Yes...first pass through the kitchen. Now, I'm looking at another shelf that really needs attention. This beginning was a great help.
I was looking at your last cabinet and mentally reorganising the glasses and dishes into the other cabinets that have space for them now.
I am in the stage of life like you. Just us two at home. I think I am tidy like you but I have too much stuff! I have gotten rid of some stuff but I keep finding more and more! My grown kids don’t want my old things,I don’t want them to have a hard time letting my stuff go..so I am trying to do something about it! Good luck to you!(and me):)
Bravo! now I feel like I need an apron
Great inspiration Denise. I am doing some decluttering myself today. Love that apron.🇨🇦❤️
Great job. I'm not sentimentally attached to any of my kitchen items except for the breakfast set that came with a small tray and a large coffee cup (it holds two cups). There's an indent on the tray that perfectly fits the cup. I use it as coaster so I have my glass of water on the flat side and coffee on the spot it goes on. I keep it right next to the tool box I made in shop class back when I was in school. I prefer iced tea so I use my glass for it. For other hot beverages I use one from the set that came with our dishes. I'm not attached to them and most of the bowls in that set broke so I'm looking into getting another set. I like the beautiful portion control ones at Livliga. I love their Halsa design. Other things are higher on the priority list at the moment. Sentimental items for me are photographs of loved ones and pets who have passed so they can never be taken again. Alas I accidentally ruined some of them. I put carbonated drinks in our water bottles and although the beverage holders are on the outside of the bag they leaked all over the interior of my bag. It got on the small photo albums I keep in there so I cleaned them with a damp sponge and wiped off the rest with a damp rag. Then I let them air dry. The one with the oldest pictures messed up. Most of the pictures have a weird pattern on the top of the pictures. Shame became that one had pictures of my father (he died of Lou Gehrig's Disease in February 1996, our old favorite pet mouse, two of my old hamsters, and of our first dogs (one died and two were stolen from our yard while we were in school). The second one with newer pictures is okay. That's the only that has the few pictures of Thomas I have and new pictures of Daniel. I spend more time bonding with him so I didn't take very many myself and Lee only took a picture of me breastfeeding him but all you see is a giant boob and Thomas nursing for the first time (I was a 34KK in UK sizing back then; I got a breast reduction in 2015; lost five inches and gained one back so now I'm a 34HH in UK sizing and a 34L in US sizing). No one else took a picture of me holding him as he mostly breastfed (he did every two hours all day and all night long) and napped on my bust (he preferred to sleep at a angle). Also things from both Daniel and Thomas' baby years. I have Daniel NICU things (his little wrist cuff and one of his breathing devices) in a keepsake box I got in high school. I have a few of the outfits Thomas wore when he was alive. He died of SIDS seven weeks after his birth in 2011. I also keep my favorite skirt (the overlay came off of it) and a tank top I used to wear. It still fits my shoulders but won't go over my proportionally too large bust any longer. I love the print (it's from Dark Alice in Wonderland that was sold at Hot Topic years ago when my brother was a manager there back then) though so I might up-cycle it into something else. Maybe a decorate pillow or hang it on the wall. Or possibly give it to my sister if it fits her. She's a smaller band size (I fit 32 and 34 bands; she technically needs under a 28 band but that size doesn't exist in larger cup brands) than I am so it may fit her.
Thanks. I do this when I get overwhelmed. Especially with small children.
the 15 minute time limit was helpful. It helped me get started.
@@homemakingwithdenise yes. It seems less daunting that way.
I give you credit to part with dishes, this is dixie from texas. Love your collection.
Hi Denise!
You certainly did a super job decluttering,
I like the idea of the timer, less time to think about the sentimental items. It forces you to make a decision right away.
And Oh! You mentioned me. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it, I like the apron that you are wearing, but my favorite is the lemon one you are wearing in the ad and what do you know that is the one I ordered and have my on boxing video to upload.
I really enjoyed watching (Darci)
Hi Darci,new are doing this thing. It’s something that is needed and can only help us grow, thank you for ordering one of my aprons. I love the lemon one too but this Sweet Pea that I’m wearing today is also really nice. This was a difficult decluttering session. I’m just too sentimental.
i love your apron, so cute. i agree with u there ... i've told my parents just ask .. then give away, i would love it if u would give it away now, enjoying the excitement of one u will love it and enjoy it, more than my brother or myself could. donate it. when that time comes we might just be quick about it and donate it (just to more forward, there will be many tasks to deal with, etc.) but some one else might love it, enjoy those memories or family ties. i enjoy your calming chat with us. thank you so much. ( ;
great job, first time watching, I love dishes too, and I need to clean out a bunch. I did get two bags of clothes ready to donate, but mugs are running over here.
I love your commentary. If I’d been there with you I would’ve asked if you need to keep the complete sets of some of the dishes. If you like the spaghetti plates (I do too! I’m ready to give up the normal dinner plates) but it’s usually just 2 of you eating spaghetti maybe you could keep 2 or 4 plates rather than 8 or 12? You did well though! I was surprised by how much you had pulled out by the end.
This was such a good video for me to see at this time. I’ve recently begun my decluttering journey and I can honestly say that the struggle is real! 😅 I could relate to your difficulty in letting certain dishes go. I love how you have such a heart for the home and for us fellow homemakers. 😊
great work
I feel ya, darlin'!!
Hi Sandra. Thank you. Do you have some areas that you need to be working at decluttering?
@@homemakingwithdenise Hi, Denise. At first I was going to reply with 'dishes, books and crafts' but then I realized...they're all part of my 'fantasy self'. Maybe I need to think about quarantining them.
Thank you Denise for inviting us into your home and journey. I am becoming an empty nester. Its challenging to go through our closets and drawers, so many memories. But its true we don't all the items anymore. They are things, not people. Others who need them can make use of them. The memories are in our heart. Love our apron, please did you make it or buy it?
You did it Denise. I went through phases also letting go nice dishes. Now I keep only 2 pieces of each for me and my husband. But took me a while.
Hi Zsuzsanna, phases. I like the thought of that. This was my first phase. I'll work at phase two and three and so on. Thank you for the encouragement.
Great job! 😉👍
Great job!!!
I’m an empty nester now and live alone. I only had two sets of dishes but my cabinet space is very limited, so I packed up my ‘best’ dishes and put them in a closet. They’re out of my way but available if I decide to cook for a crowd.
This is right on time I’m doing my utility closet TODAY!
I’ll take the frosted beer mugs.
Sorry Lance.They've been taken to the donation center. My husband did enjoy them but he just doesn't reach for them anymore.
@@homemakingwithdenise they are very nice mugs and your videos are so calming.
Great job! I know how hard it was for you to let go of your plates.
Oh no give me my dishes back lol😅😆😊
Lady Bug, if you were here, I'd give you those dishes. But...it's time for me to make some hard decisions. You got any decluttering that needs doing?
I found you from Dawn's challenge list. I have an addiction to plates! Thanks for the inspiration. Also, love the aprons. I have a handful of great vintage ones. Yours is terrific!
Hi Carol Beth, I’m glad to find someone who understands my love for plates. It’s a real thing. I’m glad you’re inspired to work on yours. And aprons…of yeah.
Denise, this was a great video. The kitchen declutter gives me anxiety too… I think you made a good start. I too, don’t want to leave my children too many things to sort out later. You love the plates….I love the mixing bowls. 😂
You did great! I am enjoying the challenge. I am interested in this Swedish death cleaning.
One of my subscribers mentioned the book and I got the book on my Kindle and it's all about clearing out your home. before a death...your own...so your family is not stuck with the task. And how would that task be for them when they are in a state of sorrow. I'll do some videos on it.
Off topic, but I love your apron!
Denise….unless you regularly have several people over at the same time (like a Bible study) and they drink coffee you don’t need those coffee cups. If you don’t offer coffee few will ask for it. I donated all of my cups except for my one I use daily and my husband’s 2 cups that he uses for hot and cold and has had d for many years. If guests request coffee I can give them one of those. I also have nice paper cups with lids that you can buy at the grocery store for not much. We keep too much for situations that seldom happen.
Glad I only have 2 sets of dishes the "good" dishes from my husbands grandma and the set we got for our wedding. Also, I am glad you are thinking of your children by wanting to downsize now. Unfortunately for me my father is a hoarder and a compulsive shopper so...
I like hope you said you are never gonna be ready! So true you need to just start so it will become easier each time. 💜 I know it’s become easier for me!
HI Michelle, thank you. I've watched you declutter lots of things and it seems so easy. I'm going to work at this at least four times a week and see what's what. I think I'll talk to Flylady Kat about this. She is always a big help when I'm struggling with this kind of thing.
Well done,Denice! It’s easier each time..next time you’ll see even more since each time you can see more things better than when behind something !
I love this video! I watch Dawn too… but it is nice to find someone my age decluttering after retirement… I also love your sweet apron! ~ Maria
Ps. I just subscribed! I am looking forward to watching your videos!
This video came right on time. I was just telling a friend of mine about de-cluttering and the flylady system. I just sent her a link to your video. Thanks again and have a great day! ~Rhonda
Hi Rhonda, thank you for sharing my link. It's very sweet of you. Girl, I'm taking a deep breath and just trying to keep this moving with these dishes. I've just got way to much stuff.
@@homemakingwithdenise I understand it can be hard to get rid of things that you have had for a while. I believe that my family will actually be growing soon if the Lord says the same. Be blessed sister and have a great day!
My thing is books. I’ve loved books since I was a child. It’s hard to not be surrounded by books.
So this was what youve been working on and talked about on the live the other day. Think you did Good here 😍💕
You are such an inspiration! You are so much like me…I laughed out loud when you had to put the measuring cup back! 😆 Thank you for being so brave and sharing. ps I also have a story for everything in my kitchen! 😂
Great job decluttering Denise! I like this approach of 15 min at a time. I need to declutter my kitchen and dining room cabinet. I love kitchen items and serve ware but it needs to be decluttered. Thanks for the motivation to get going my friend!
Hi LouAnn, I think I started in the hardest room but the most necessary room. I've got way too much stuff in there. I realize I could be putting things I am using in the space that was occupied by dishes and serveware that I am no longer using.
After decluttering more space is worth the work. Nice job!!!
Yes...I love looking in the cabinet and seeing the space. It is so calming. Phase 1 started. It's a beginning of many phases.
