Рет қаралды 54,701
Жыл бұрынNeed some decluttering motivation before the New Year? This video is for you!
We are entering a season where it is highly likely that a few new items will make their way into our homes and lives. Make way for the new, and let go of the old.
This list of 70+ decluttering ideas, will have you moving around your home - room by room - and making conscious decisions about your things.
Do you need 5 hammers in the garage? Do you love that gift you have hidden away in your storage room? If the answer is NO, then LET IT GO!
I don't expect that you will be able to declutter each and every item from this idea list, but I do hope that it jump starts the process to becoming more clutter free - just in time for the New Year.
Happy DECLUTTERING everyone!

After my divorce, I was forced to leave behind so many hoarded items, and it changed my life. 10 years later, I live in a tiny apartment with a river view that I love! I am thrilled that what I have are really just the things I love and I am so grateful to have recently found your channel, has you inspire me to continue to declutter on a regular basis. It just feels so amazing! Thank you!

We have done so much decluttering, I am to the point in some categories to get new things, to replace some old worn out items. It's exciting to get something new without it being an additional clutter item. Thanks for the sharing some decluttering ideas we often overlook.

Yes! That is why I think this time of year is the perfect season to declutter! I know that I am putting new bath towels on my Christmas wish list! ❤️ thanks for watching!

Me as well! I want to start decorating and replacing some items that are VERY worn! My issue is that I don't like shopping or know how to deorate 😒

You have done great for yourselves. I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.

You mentioned DVDs. I recently took an entire cabinet (3 shelves) of DVDs, removed the plastic cases and downsized them to one zippered case, the size of a book. I couldn’t declutter them because they belong to my husband. He is not a minimalist.

I agree with a lot of your decluttering ideas. I get stuck though not knowing what to do with the things I do not want or need. Example: honing down photos? Just throw them in the trash?
@ArrowHillCottage Жыл бұрын
Photos are probably the toughest of all for me. I love them so much! That being said…yes. If you have duplicate pictures or a picture that is blurry, and you have others that are better representations that you want to keep; you can certainly throw them! ❤️

I love videos on decluttering motivation, thank you for this wonderful content! Even though both my husband and I enjoy living minimally, we cannot agree on one item that takes up space in our home...my wedding dress from 29 years ago. We have two adult sons so I am not saving it for anyone, but it has sentimental value to me. My husband says to just donate it. Can you please address our wedding dresses in a future decluttering video? Maybe there are other women who don't know what is the best thing to do with their wedding dress either. Thank you! 🤗
@ArrowHillCottage Жыл бұрын
Good idea! I have had a similar struggle with my dress actually! I was about to donate it a few years ago but my mom thought I might regret it so she took it to her house to store there. I hade thought of saving it and having it made into baptismal outfits (a couple different styles maybe) that our grand kids could wear on their baptism days. I’ve also heard of people who donate the dress to be made into burial gowns for premature infants who didn’t survive ❤️

My mom took mine and made a decorative wedding pillow for my bed with the date stitched on. Then also made each of our kiddos stocking for Christmas out of it.
@AMcDub0708 Жыл бұрын
I donated mine the week after my wedding 😂 I have never ever missed it. I think of the woman who may have found it and wore it at a fraction of the price, or the Halloween costume it may have been. Either way, I smile. But ultimately it’s your dress to keep or donate. Not anyone else’s decision.
@spiicyliime22 Жыл бұрын
My marriage was a dumpster fire, but I still kept the dress because I loved it so much! It's probably still holding me back from moving on fully... I should probably sell it...
@amandakelly2747 8 ай бұрын
I am having same issue with the wedding dress. I have 2 grown boys they have no use for it. I was told of a website that needs wedding dresses for girls that don't have much to spend on a wedding I would be ok donating for them.

Most foods don’t expire they have a best by date not an expiry date. Usually dried and canned foods last for years.
@ArrowHillCottage Жыл бұрын
It’s true that usually canned goods can last much longer than their date. I guess for me, the idea is that if I’ve had a can of something for such a long time and not used it….probably means it doesn’t need to be taking up space in my cabinets. I know a lot of people do have long term food storage though - in which case canned goods might sit for quite a long time. ❤️
