Great job! If you have some scrap wood available have Chris build you a platform just big enough to set all your floor cleaners on but raise it to slide a few clear tubs under. You still could easily lift the cleaners up onto the platform. Also it. Was so cute watching Emma dance in the reflection of the refrigerator! ❤
I suggest you find an architectural salvage or some place that sells old kitchen cupboards. You can use old pantries, upper andmlower cupboards in the garage. They have doors to hide all the stuff and it looks less cluttered than open shelves.
Great job! Working on my garage after moving and decluttering. I'm Getting there. Walmart has ladder wall mount hook. 9.98 I have a few of them... and I absolutely love them. Just gets ladders off floor and have a place to grab and put them back. Very inexpensive. Very useful. Called Rubbermaid fast track wall mount ladder hook. Easy to put up or take off ladder. Thought might help. I've been a decluttering person for 30 years. My motto is Don't use it lose it! I do not miss a thing. Keep it simple. Over the years went from 30+ bins of Christmas to about 6 smaller bins now. Each year I let go of a little more and see how I can make festive with less and most natural. I am very grateful that I have beautiful items, but if not using someone else can. I've grown so selective in what I bring into our home. It really does cost one peace of heart and mind. This year I noticed when I see influencers showing all their cute items...I can just appreciate. I just say to myself that I have more than enough and tell myself you do not need anything. Health, peace of heart and mind and be content with what I have. Spent too many years decluttering. I also watch what the influencing has done to everyone's homes they are starting to be decorated the same. I have bought some incredible items I love from an influencers finds, but you have to be strong to know that it's really mostly unnecessary. I'll always appreciate beauty but selective. It is a journey... and the good news is holidays get more meaningful the less one is focused on stuff. Create make a beautiful home, but let's not forget the reason for the season or be to busy to enjoy its beauty. I say this because I've been there and this year was a whole new leap... back to the basics. I saw more clear than ever. I want to enjoy... not just survive. Amen! Blessings to you and yours. Looks like you're listening to your soul. Great job! I do my declutter before the seasons as well... always have as to prepare for the new that will enter. From kids items. Mine is grown now so no more worries about that. I'm also mindful of what I give to our adult children and grandkids because I will not contribute to unnecessary clutter. When I have something to offer I always say do not take if you do not need. Or donate when you don't need it. Never hurts my feelings. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Great decluttering video, Lynn! You and Chris did a phenomenal job! I live in FL and my house was built in 1955 so my laundry is in the garage. I have a shelf built out of 2x4s for my laundry detergent, etc . Area so small that washer on one side and dryer on the other side. Have always wanted a lovely laundry room but 29 years later still the same - lol. I used to not be able to say no but I can now. I no longer accept the “free” t-shirts for every event and free mugs, etc. When a friend or family member offers me something, I say No - I have no need or room for it. When I receive gifts that I have no use for, I donate or give away. I do not feel bad anymore. I even say to friends when I give them a gift that they can do with it what they want. Really cut down on the clutter coming in the house! Can’t wait to see your next project! Always enjoy your videos and like you either talking on camera or voice overs. It’s like being with a friend and having a conversation.❤
I personally only buy what I need and limit it as well depends on what the occasion is at the time or general buying so it does not cause clutter within the home. Also if a friend or family member wants to give you something they no longer need be honest and if do not believe you can use it then its ok to say no
I have a hard time saying no to free stuff too 😂.But I have gotten better at turning down most of the free swag since I've been on my multi-year decluttering journey 😊. I inherited a bunch of stuff from my mom & sister that I've been trying to use, donate or give away to family (if possible).
I came across your channel 2 days ago and have been watching your garage declutter ,really enjoying it. This year will be bringing down all the Christmas stuff ,anything I don't use will be going to charity as like you I don't need it ,and I'm slowly decluttering my house one room at a time.im watching from the UK.
Yes I leave my Christmas totes in the garage until after Christmas. It’s such a chore to get them back into the attic so I just stack them up in the garage.
You have more in your garage and attic than I have in my whole 11 room house. I've decluttered for 4 yrs straight and am almost a Mentalist. I don't want anymore JUNK in my home. To me, LESS is more and peaceful feeling instead of feeling like I have to walk around things all the time to get to other places. Great job and Happy Holidays.
I love a great clean out garage. Some tips for u plz don't b offended coming from a good place. The shelf next to workout has holes in it, so use S Hooks & this way, it's easier to hang bc kids will not hang if it's time-consuming. I just put my decorations in the same totes Christmas was in , in garage until Christmas is over. I love my retractable shelf too. Oh BTW put a old rod attached to the wood shelf above washer so hangers don't fall behind, learn from my mistakes. Can't wait to c more. Happy turkey day
Looks great!!! You and Chris really busted your humps. The results are amazing. Hope you and your family have a very blessed Thanksgiving. Love you guys. Lynn, you are truly an inspiration to me.
We do return totes to attic after Christmas decorating. This year part of our garage is full of furniture, because our graduating college student moved home for a bit. All good & happy to have my baby home for as long as needed!!!!
😊absolutely loved the tissue throwing 😂😂😂😂😂 the most important part of life is having someone to make you laugh during the mondane and girl you guys are killing it. I clicked because i needed to understand the declutter process but i subscribed and stay because of how real you are with yourself and how we need to remember we are infact still human. Regardless of how society sees a mom we still have feelings and struggles and need to know we are not alone 😊 thank you ❤🙏❤
I can get into funks. Been in one all week. But then I saw you in my recommendations and thought MY GOD!! THATS WHATS ERONG WITH ME! SHE ALAYS GIVES ME MOTIVATION! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
So looking back at my childhood, my mom decluttered a lot bc I’m one of 3 kids. When she noticed she had a lot piling up and she didn’t know what to do with it all but didn’t wanna just get rid of it, we would do a garage sale!! I know it’s kind of a lot of work but that’s why it’s just once in a while type of things! You are so pure Lynn. That’s not easy to find these days and I’m grateful to be part of your journey!❤
Especially the stuff our parents and grandparents send us home with!! When my Mimi passed away and we sold the house, I came home with a CAR FULL of stuff 😅
I wonder if having a bigger home is the problem, we have a tiny! two bedroom home (no garage just a tiny shed) in the Uk, we have our washing machine in our kitchen sadly no luxury of having a laundry/ utility room. But the point is having a tiny space it means you can’t possibly have all that possessions and actually do you really need them.. hmm
Huge thank YOU for your never ending motivation! Gave me extra inspiration and motivation to declutter my closet today, a task I’ve been putting off for a long time! Finally got to it today and it never has felt so good to declutter and look at my closet brand new again😍
I love watching your videos, you have a soothing voice, so even if I’m just watching and not cleaning along they are enjoyable. If you need to take time for yourself so you don’t burn out then that’s what you need to do, no apologies necessary ❤
Hey Lynn, I love seeing your videos all the time! I love seeing the before and after pictures all the time! I can't wait to see more videos every week! I love how Chris helps you whenever you have a project that is needed done. I actually cleaned up my bedroom, got a load of laundry folded/put away and cleaned up the kitchen from dinner tonight. ❤❤❤
Excellent job guys. Maybe one day you’ll be able to put a car in there. My husband & I are in our seventies so we no longer need all the stuff we used to have. We can now get two cars in the garage AND the attic is empty.! WHOO HOO! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁 ❤️
LYNN I love your house. You make it so homey. All your energy I would live to have. I will be 62 Dec 11th. I live my place to be clean and orderly. But I work fulltime and overtime. I do not have the energy to do it like I want. Have any suggestions? I will have two weeks off during Christmas time Dec 23rd to January 5th. I am hoping to do cleaning and organizing during that time. So, I will make sure to catch your videos while I am doing that. I need suggestions on where to start???❤❤❤ Happy Thanksgiving 😊
It would have been better emptying everything out of the garage sorting out his bits your bits into piles on the grass or drive bins lined up , get hubby to sweep out the spiders and organise yourstorage shelves then take things in and put away each item x
You worked so hard…..but you have way too many artificial florals and artificial pumpkins. Think about having just a few real plants or flowers and one or two real pumpkins. I don’t like too many artificial decor pieces.
Real flowers are not safe for cat and dogs especially cats because if the pollen gets on them they can die, and I’m sure nobody wants that to happen. Better to have fake or real touch ones.
Yay…you made it to the finish line👏 It looks so much better. Lynn, I hope the family can keep up with keeping it organized! 😊
Great job! If you have some scrap wood available have Chris build you a platform just big enough to set all your floor cleaners on but raise it to slide a few clear tubs under. You still could easily lift the cleaners up onto the platform. Also it. Was so cute watching Emma dance in the reflection of the refrigerator! ❤

Great job Lynn. Garages are never pretty. However you’ve made it very functional. 😊
Great job Lynn. You need two washers/dryers for your large family!
It's so true. Laundry is never ending!

Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️ I am so glad you here.
Nice to hear a little of the the real time decluttering process instead of it being sped up with music the whole time 🎶
I don’t know about you, but I am kinda over the super sped up videos.
I personally only buy what I need and limit it as well depends on what the occasion is at the time or general buying so it does not cause clutter within the home.

I love how Chris helps you whenever you have a project that is needed done. I actually cleaned up my bedroom, got a load of laundry folded/put away and cleaned up the kitchen from dinner tonight. ❤❤❤
Hey flossy🥰 I always enjoy seeing you pop up with a video. Y’all did a great job, Hope y’all have a magical Thanksgiving💜💜💜
Hey friend, how are you? The garage looks good, that was alot of work. Good job.
Hey friend!!
I am going to do my garage after New Year’s.
That's a perfect time to tackle it.
An empty clean space looks so much better than plastic/ fabric stuff
Great work its such a difference!! Big motivation too- thank you.
Take care and Happy Thanksgiving ❤
Thank you! You too!
Looks great. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you for the motivation.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Great job
Another great video! ❤😊
Thanks again!
Looks great
Major results!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent job guys. Maybe one day you’ll be able to put a car in there. My husband & I are in our seventies so we no longer need all the stuff we used to have. We can now get two cars in the garage AND the attic is empty.! WHOO HOO! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁 ❤️
Very nice my friend ❤
I love your garage. I sure wish ours was this organized. Someday it will be. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
That looks so good, what a difference 😮
What does the door on the right side lead to? Is it a closet or could it be a new laundry room?
You do a really great job. I enjoy watching the video!
To the back yard.
Lynn, WOW!! Great job!❤️
LYNN I love your house. You make it so homey. All your energy I would live to have. I will be 62 Dec 11th. I live my place to be clean and orderly. But I work fulltime and overtime. I do not have the energy to do it like I want. Have any suggestions? I will have two weeks off during Christmas time Dec 23rd to January 5th. I am hoping to do cleaning and organizing during that time. So, I will make sure to catch your videos while I am doing that. I need suggestions on where to start???❤❤❤ Happy Thanksgiving 😊
Take one day at a time. Try to work little by little but dont pressure yourself too much. Make sure to enjoy your time!
@mrslynnwhite I sure will try that. Thank you
Looks amazing
Just a suggestion is to have two washing machines. This worked for me while raising my children.
Put it all away other wise you will see it as clutter and you don’t need it that it’s more pressure as😊 everything has its own place x
To me, things are more aesthetically pleasing if it is taller to shorter. I would switch the tool chest and the rack.
His throwing sound effects lol. Swiiwishh 😅
❤❤❤❤❤

It would have been better emptying everything out of the garage sorting out his bits your bits into piles on the grass or drive bins lined up , get hubby to sweep out the spiders and organise yourstorage shelves then take things in and put away each item x
Hahahaha you do know you’re gonna spend the rest of your life pickin up those gloves and hang in’em dontcha? 🤣🤣🤣
Don't you😊
Hahaha
A
I only like cars in the garage! Only cars! No Stuff!
I say No to stuff and now I’m not offered anything which is great. Otherwise it’ll end up at the tip or charity shops.
Hi remember to cover you open plastic boxes so horrible spiders 🕷️ don’t get in there. They’ll scare you next year
All those fake floral s nooooooo
You worked so hard…..but you have way too many artificial florals and artificial pumpkins. Think about having just a few real plants or flowers and one or two real pumpkins. I don’t like too many artificial decor pieces.
Real flowers are not safe for cat and dogs especially cats because if the pollen gets on them they can die, and I’m sure nobody wants that to happen. Better to have fake or real touch ones.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
@ You’ve got animals real flowers are not great in case they get poorly with pollen. I have real touch flowers and fake ones
“Too many” is subjective. Do what works for you!
Perhaps it’s just too many for you :) Everyone has their own unique styles!
I enjoy you and your family…..inspirational💗💪
That means so much to me! ❤️
