Do you need to declutter? Do you need to organize? Do you need to do both? I sure did! This video is my first in my January decluttering and organizing series! This week I tackle all of my home decor and get it decluttered! I really wanted to start my year off right and take care of my biggest problem first and that is definitely keeping too much decor! If you are ready to declutter, organize and start your year off right, then here you go!! I hope this video gives you tons of motivation!

Hi friends!
Welcome to my first “Declutter & Organize” video of 2024! This is the first video in my month-long series! I hope this series will give you lots of motivation and inspiration to declutter & organize some spaces you may have! I definitely have several spaces that need attention in my home! I am excited to start the year off with my home decluttered and organized! Thanks for being here and here’s wishing you a neat and tidy 2024! 🤗
Looking forward to your decluttering series. The metal/wood scrolls things all over your walls could be lessened in my opinion. You said in the video your wall decor is meaningful to you so those might be easier to declutter than the things with words or quotes.
"Keep it simple" is a wonderful motto! Living small, allows you time to love big!
Brad , I don’t think I could love this comment any more! Yes, yes, yes! I may have to share this on my other socials, because your words have so much wisdom! Thank you so much for watching and you know we love ya!
Sounds like your word for the year is “simplicity”. 🙂
I think you are right!!! 🤗👍🏼
I've made a goal of getting rid of 24 items a month = 288 a yr. I'm going to document everything I get rid of. I'm going to try to make it 300 items by the end of the year so that'll be a bonus on my part. 2024 here I come!!!!
Hello Dianne and happy new year! That sounds like a wonderful goal! It definitely sounds doable by the way you have it set up! Please keep me posted and let me know how it’s going! Have a great weekend! 🤗
I have done a lot of decluttering too. I love it.. Keeping it simple! I am getting my stuff down to where I can manage it. My Christmas decor is my biggest category. I am going to go thru it tonight and thin things out. Should have done it when I was putting decor away!
Yay Kristi!!! I definitely had way too much Christmas decor, I have to admit I am glad it is gone! I do think I will have more to go through when it comes to my Christmas decor, but I definitely made a huge dent in it! I will be busy for sure this month, but I know it will be worth it in the end! Thank you so much for watching and let me know how the Christmas Declutter goes! 🤗
You did really well - it’s amazing how much we all keep for years just sitting doing nothing. I’m inspired to declutter my decor tomorrow- thanks for the video ❤❤❤
Hi Barbara! Oh my goodness thank you so much! You saying that you are inspired to declutter tomorrow has just made my heart sing, and I’m not kidding. That means the world to me! Have a great weekend and happy decluttering!🤗
Impressed how decisive you are. Your house is huge; you are lucky to have so much storage space.
Hi Jennifer! 👋🏼 thank you so much! It is spacious, but the problem is sometimes the more space you have the more you think you need to fill it up! Lol! I am definitely learning to have less and loving it! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I am surprised at how much decor you were able to declutter today after several previous declutters. We have so much work still to do by comparison
I will have to get my hustle going! Thanks for always including the hidden spots as well. It helps to keep us honest
I am looking forward to next week. Happy New Year
Hi Joy! Thank you so much for your encouraging comment! You truly are the best! I have to be honest, I was a bit shocked at all I was able to get rid of, like you said, after so many previous declutters! 😳 I have a feeling I’m going to be saying the same thing next week!! 😆 thank you so much for just being you! I hope you’re having a great weekend!
Always love watching your declutter videos because they inspire me to get up and declutter my own home. I was wondering why you have two places for decor items--in your hutch and in the closet? Now that you've decluttered so much it feels like what you have left could all be "homed" in one place in your cabinet? Then your decor can be boundaried in one place and if that cabinet starts to get stuffy then you know it's time to declutter!
Hi Tracy! Thank you so much! I do think I have minimized it almost enough to keep everything in one place. I don’t think I can keep everything in the upstairs cabinet because I have some pictures in the basement that I don’t think will fit there. I tend to change my decor upstairs more often, so it definitely would make sense to keep everything upstairs. I just don’t think my bigger wall pieces will fit, but honestly I’ve never checked! Now that you have put that in my mind, I definitely am going to see! Thank you so much for watching, and taking the time to leave me such a great suggestion! I hope you’re having an awesome weekend!
Hey DeeDee, I love what you are doing. I had just gone to my mom's house and helped her to declutter her room. We revisited areas where we decluttered before. That video will be posted this month. She was shocked at how much she decluttered!! Thank you for the motivation
Thank you, Karen! I’m glad I can add some extra motivation! My plan is to continue decluttering the entire month of January! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to let me know you are here! 🤗
Love the videos. Don’t let anyone tell you how. To decorate. Enjoy your space, your way!! 🙏🍀😊
Thank you Amanda! I really appreciate that! 🤗🤍
DeDe, you really should be proud of yourself. I truly admire your commitment to continuing to take a real look at the things you have and in being honest with yourself as to whether or not you will use them. Holding yourself accountable and giving yourself a firm deadline is a great idea and goal. I have every faith that you will be successful in the completion of this. And I really loved what you said about experiencing a shift in your thinking. That is SO important in life, for sure. I am remembering that it's not the objects that matter nearly as much as the memories and what they represent. And those memories are not contained in a physical object. That makes letting go of things long stored or held onto just that much easier. Wishing you the best as you continue to work on your home. May you experiencing the meaningful and simple life you seek. Have a blessed weekend!
Hi there Pal! I always look forward to your comments because you are so insightful and speak the truth. I definitely have experienced a shift in my thinking. So much of my younger years were spent trying to accumulate things, now I want to accumulate experiences and enjoy memories and make new ones. I truly do seek a simpler life. Less things to worry about, less things to clean or maintain, and although I plan on being around for quite some time, less things for my family to worry about after I am gone. I know that decluttering is an ongoing process and sometimes due to holidays or gifts. There will always be an influx of items coming into my home, but I feel a fresh new commitment to bringing in less than I take out.
Thank you so much for being a part of this journey, even though I know, sometimes it’s a bumpy ride! Lol!
Have an awesome weekend !

I am in total agreement about wanting experiences rather than "things". I am working on being a better steward of the things I do have yet not wanting that to take up too much time. I also feel that when we get the urge to declutter, perhaps we are doing so to make room for new things in our lives, such as new experiences, new insights, new levels of growth. It's exciting to contemplate, for sure. Weather here today is calling for snow so after I do some work from home this morning, I plan on getting cozy for the day. Wishing you a day that brings you peace and contentment.
Wow you did great….i just did my kitchen cabinets I got 4 empty shelves…and some shelves just have 1 or 2 things 🎉😊❤️…Happiness was my word for the year
Hello Francine! I love your word for the year! Happiness is something we all want, and should be our focus!
Great job on your Declutter! Wow four empty shelves!!! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have an amazing weekend! 🤗
Beautiful job, Dede! I like to live by KISS- keep it super simple. Cant wait for the next one! 💖
Hi there Ann! I have always heard people say less is more, and I have said it myself, but now that I am older, I truly believe it! I love it, don’t just keep it simple, keep it SUPER simple! 🤗
Your house always looks so clean and organized. It is just my husband and I and I can’t keep it so clean. I have been decluttering too. Your house is big and beautiful!
Hi Sharon 👋🏼 Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel like you, most of the time it’s just my husband and I, and I wonder how does it get messy?🤷🏻♀️😆 That’s neat that you are decluttering too! Let me know how it goes!
Good Evening... the first of a Month Long Series (?!) ... how cool ! What an Inspiration and I think breaking it down into " Categories ",.... such a good idea ! Okkk. Yesss. My " Home Decor " is a Whole Thing unto itself, lol ! ... I have trimmed it down from last year... but I probably ought to go throughit agsin soon. :) I'll update my Comment after watching!
..." 7 2 items ..??! "... ( Said in the manner of Miss Julie Andrews in ' The Sound of Music"..lol.. when she finds out about " 7 children "..😉😁)
That is really quite a lot, Miss Dede...and impressive. I was curious as to the ' Sticky Note "
...do you put a reminder about the " project " ( or whatever it is ) in a Planner or Calendar ,so perhaps when you find extra time, you may decide work on it (?).I had discovered that if I dont have a " Reminder " on something like a paint project or what- have - you .. I might not get to it fir 6 months, lol ! 😆 Ay-yi-yi. Lol.
What a nice Beginning to the Series, and as stated.... good Inspiration and providing a bit of ambition to work on getting things done, and getting ones environment in better order.
🙂😊 Thank you for a lovely Video! 🤍
Hello there! What a joy to hear from you! Yes, this will be a month long series! Unfortunately, I do have that many areas I need to make decisions on. One thing about decluttering, it is definitely a lifelong process, or at least, I think it will be for me. Even if we don’t plan on it, I do think we have an influx of items that come into our homes because of maintenance or gifts we receive. I have said this before, but I have found the older I get the more I want.
I love what you mentioned about writing it in a planner. I actually think I will do that because if I don’t visit the areas with the sticky notes often, by the time I see the note, the deadline might have passed. I remember my mother always making lists and notes and as I have gotten older I definitely understand why!😂😂😂 if I don’t have a note or have it in my planner, it just isn’t likely to happen!
Thank you so much for being here, your encouragement, and your continued friendship!
@MyBigTidyUp ....Oh, my pleasure, friend... to be here, to support Your Channel, and of course, friendship!
🙂😊🫶🏻
You made a very good point ,about Decluttering and such... being a " Lifelong Process " ....Indeed, it is .
I'm not a " Minimalist " by nature , lol.. but I do understand about wanting things to a " little less", more " manageable ", if you will.
Yes,I use a Planner... I akways have , I'm such a Dinosaur, lol.. but I found that these " Reminders " ,along with the things listed that I may need to do a Project is something that I find helpful. :) ..And " keeps me honest " about it, too. .. with regards to the time to do the project, etc .Lol.
I'm looking forward to the next part of The Series , I'm sure it will be great .
Wishes to you, my friend... that the start to this Year will find you in Good Health, in good Spirits ,and bring you unexpected joys and Blessings that multiply as the Year continues. 🙏🏻✨️
😊🤍🫶🏻
Hi DeDe! I do pick a word of the year and mine is simplify! Great minds think alike.😊. I love how you picked categories and organized the spaces with zones. Such a smart idea. I need a “smell good” cabinet too. I’ve got candles and essential oils in many different places so who knows what I really have? LOL. I’m the queen of “repurposing” something and I have a stack of items that were going to be redone to be used in a different way and it’s never gonna happen. You’re right - my priorities have shifted and making more stuff to put in my home is not one of them. I want to simplify my home, my life, my relationships and my heart. Time to clear out the clutter and focus on what matters most. I’m a people pleaser so letting go of toxic relationships is going to be hard for me. And if the toxic relationship involves family and they can’t be “removed” then I’ll focus on how I’ll simplify my reaction to them. I think we make life too hard? I overthink everything and move stuff from place to place. I’m done with that mindset bc it is not serving me. Out with the old BUT no new items but a fresh, new way to look at the simple things that bring my heart joy. Happy New Year, friend! Wishing you much love and happiness this new year!🩷
Hello Jennifer! The more I get to know you the more I think we are definitely kindred spirits! Almost everything you said, I can definitely relate to in one way or another! When I Declutter items and have less, it has been such a release emotionally! I know that sounds crazy, but it is true! I remember when I first started this channel and I did one of my first big declutters I felt like I had lost 10 pounds! It is such a lighter feeling mentally!
Yes ma’am, let’s look for those simpler things to bring us joy! Happy, happy new year, Jennifer!
That 3legged candle holder near vase with flowers- it reminiscents the photo frames that are decluttered. Id say the frames are missing their 3legged friend, it wants to go. Just take it away from the decor storage- it wont miss it.
Hi there! You might be right! Lol! The reason why I waited is because I have two others that are in the office. They are a set of three in different sizes. probably when I tackle the office, I’ll relook and decide. If I get rid of the ones in the office, their friend in the basement will probably go to! Lol! 😆 Thank you so much for watching and have an awesome weekend!
Thank you and have a great weekend !
Dee Dee i really enjoyed this video, I started my decluttering on Saturday,i have gotten rid of so much already, I want my home to be simple,easy to manage, I guess the older we get, the less we want ,have a blessed evening ✨

Hello there! Thank you so very much! I must admit, I was surprised that I still had so much to get rid of! This next week I will be working on my clothes! Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate you being here. Love and blessings to you in the Caribbean!! 🤍

Aww thank you Kari! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to let me know you are here!! 🤗
Go girl!

Good afternoon DeDe, Happy new year!! Great video as usual! I love wax melts and use them all the time. Never thought to buy plain ones and add essential oils! I’ll have to try that. Thank you for a great video. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you next week!😘
Thank you Grace and happy new year to you too! I love wax melts too! It seems like I always have to have something either burning, melting, or diffusing! 😆
Thank you so much for being here and I hope you have had a great break! 🤗
@@MyBigTidyUp I had a great break!! I go back Tuesday!!😘
Your home is beautiful!
Thank you so much Andrea! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment!
way to go! you did it!
Thank you Lori! I am glad to have it done and ready for the next project!! 👍🏼😀
Well done xxx
Thank you, Tracy! I’m glad the decor is done! 🙌🏼
My house is upside down 😮 we are painting and getting new carpet next week. It's a huge mess but in the end it will be so worth it!! We needed a refresh for the new year!!
Hi Annette! Yay for you! Upside down is definitely OK if you are getting new carpet and painting!! I hope you took some before pictures! If you want to share the results, I would love to see them! Congrats to you on all the wonderful new changes!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Do you do winter decor after you take Christmas down?
Hi Debbie! I really don’t have specific winter decor. I might put a few outdoor pieces by the front door, but I don’t have any specific winter decor for inside of the house. I do have a few spring pieces that I put out around Easter, but other than that my decor pretty much stays the same other than holidays. Thank you so much for watching!
what do you do with Knick knacks? random things like tape, and batteries?
Hi there! I keep my batteries in my utility drawer in the laundry room, a.k.a. my junk drawer 😂 my tape I keep upstairs in a big closet with all of my wrapping paper and crafting items! 🤗
D is your husband getting scared? Your decluttering so much.
He’s not scared yet, but I haven’t tackled our clothes closet yet, so we shall see! Lol! 😂
Ljunko. Toss Toss. Toss. Looking at a bunch of junk…😮😮😮😮😮.
Hi there, Michael! 👋🏼 I definitely did toss a lot! I’m hoping that someone else can get used out of a lot of these items. You know what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. 👍🏼 thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
