MAJOR Apartment Declutter + 2 Bedroom Seoul Apartment Makeover - Day 1

Күн бұрын

This is part 1 of our extreme Seoul Makeover + Declutter featuring a 2 bedroom apartment in Seoul. 2020 hit just as they moved into their apartment and you can imagine that life got pretty stressful pretty quickly. When that happened, they neglected unpacking fully and before they knew it, there was a literal mountain of shi* left. But we've all been there, it happens. And especially with 2020, I GET IT! Today I wanted to start their makeover by decluttering their apartment, going through everything piece by piece and seeing if it's something we can get rid of. If not, I want to put it back in the space it belongs within the apartment. The second part of this video will focus more on pulling the whole space together, but today we're focusing on decluttering their lounge, bedroom and "dark room." This def felt like a therapy session leaving us emotionally and physically exhausted, so we squeezed in as much as we could on the first day and I'll be back to tackle the rest of their apartment another day and complete their 2 bedroom Seoul Apartment Makeover!

Ugh! The clutter... It's giving me anxiety. The only way to keep my space clear is to ask myself, "If I haven't seen it or worn it in a year, I'm not gonna miss it." It's donated or thrown out. Can't wait to see the finished product!!

I’m so glad you like it! And yes... I 10000% agree. My husband actually suggested I share the process and explain it because he thought the “why” behind it was interesting.

I'm not an organized person by design. But I know and understand the necessity of it. When I not the hose can get out of hand.. and the physical rolls into mental.

"You have the recycling which has to stay, in Korea you have to deal with that" sounded like recycling is a bad thing and a burden. :/ I hope it wasn't meant to be like that. I think that everyone who purchases something should also have the responsibility of where the waste goes and I actually really like the Korean recycling system. This aside, you all did a great job decluttering the space. The living room already looks 10 times better! :)

@SpaceMakerMethod 3 жыл бұрын

Not what I meant. It's great to recycle, def for that... but in small homes like we have here there is always a challenge of storing it someplace. Usually you don't have space for it so it can crowd your already small space... especially if it's a small family home. Just the reality. Not a dis at recycling.
