Gentle reminder that this is not simply a "nesting phase." If you have watched the other two videos, I mentioned that I have been working toward being in a healthy mental space to declutter my home for two or more years - and have been decluttering that entire time. While I have learned to laugh it off and most things don't bother me, as a creator with several mental health struggles that have culminated in a home full of clutter, it can get overwhelming to see all of my (years of) hard work get labeled as as a temporary phase due to the end of a pregnancy. The only real part of this unplanned pregnancy that has affected why I am doing it now is that I know how much harder it will be to do with a newborn around. And for all those wondering when I'm due, March 9 ;) Much love! xo

This will sound weird. Watching your de-cluttering videos, I feel like I’m watching myself trying to take care of my own cluttered life. You’ve been very inspiring.

The physical, mental and emotional strength it took to achieve this. You should be so proud of yourself and what a great example to set for the kiddos. ❤

I love that you are decluttering a "normal" house. The after pictures do make me breathe easier, hope it still does that for you too!

I am so so proud of how you've been doing with this (and in all fairness, if you went through and only got rid of 2 things, I'd STILL be proud of you!). My husband is also a keeper and I can completely sympathise with how difficult this process can be, how emotional if can be, and the fact that you are doing this in front of the camera for the world to see is SO brave. You've done so amazingly well.

My.Dear.Girl! You are one HARD worker!! You've done a FABULOUS job decluttering your bedroom. Holy Smokes! You should be very proud of yourself.

Great job young lady! I started my journey 2 years ago, if not used in a year, it was donated. I am much older, and I didn't want my retirement to involve daily cleaning, nor did I want my loved ones to go through my things when I am gone. I feel lighter, less stressed, and it's okay to take a break, it's hard to break a habit, especially if just beginning.

Your musical choices are brilliant. I'm usually distracted by music in videos, but I'm actually really enjoying your decluttering segments with the very expressive music! I feel like the music is describing your emotions as you do the work. Just perfect.

I love these videos, you have a very calming presence and you are very agreeable to watch and to listen to. I am happy to see you tackle things that may affect your mental health to bring some positive change. I am prone to hoarding myself, especially my old clothes and school stuff, these videos inspire me to not let it take over my life.

This was so awesome. I don't know you personally, but I am so proud of you. You must have done half the work before you started, because you knew exactly your course of action and had made up your mind to get this completed. Looking forward to the rest of your success and the precious baby.

I know a lot of people will think you kept too much but as someone who struggles to let things go I am so proud of you for working through those feelings to find what will actually make you happy. This is an amazing step forward 🎉

Hoarding is an inward sign of loss. Loss of family, relationship..you comfort yourself by having the things around you love.. one of my ways of not cluttering is take photos ! Truly helped me.. I can not imagine what you’ve gone through young lady..but, your very strong and tackle things on your own! Bravo! Love your site..

Girl clean doesn't always mean Pinterest ready. This is such an improvement, and I'm sure you feel the difference!

Watching you for years, and never have I felt more “connected” with you than in this series. My bedroom and two closets are in the before category. In front of my clothes closet is a mountain of clothes spilling over laundry baskets. Vintage dresser, emotional hoarder, collector of decor and props, and also always a single mom working full time. This winter you are inspiring me to evaluate my entire thought process and do what you have done. My pretty home - but I don’t have people over - my messy bedroom - the piles do not allow me to start a day with calm and confidence. Your tears and struggle combined with determination are REAL inspiration. Real life, real struggle. Thank you so much!!!!!

When I call it "curating my collections," it feels so much better than when I call it "decluttering my stuff." You did such a great job! I hope you weren't sore long, and I'll bet it was worth it. For me it was crucial to have a tidy house when a baby was on the way. The kids are a charming inclusion in this video. OMG, that little voice in the background! So cute. And your little-man assistant. Carpe diem those days (which I lovingly remember as the "sticky years"). I'm a new sub and enjoying you very much. ttfn ~ Somebody's Gramma

I remember the collars,we always wore them over sweaters, like sweater girl style.

I saw where a lady, for each dress took a zip lock bag and hung it on the hanger with the gloves and jewelry for that dress. That way she had matching outfits and not a lot of extra stored and forgotten. She did not waste time picking out her accessories as they were ready and waiting.

Hello from the UK. I am so sorry you are feeling unwell. Props to you for not only decluttering, but also video creation, in spite of that. I am watching from my 'sick bed', well into my second week off work with some throat/chest infection that just won't quit, and has completely drained me. That dress is hella cute, I have to say. You are doing a grand job ❤️

I know you said that your room isn’t “aesthetic”, but I think it’s cute! I think we place too much emphasis on “picture perfect” rooms vs. really lived in spaces that reflect the interests and personalities of people there. 😊

You are so real.😅😊. I am in my 70s, and I just love how real you are. I am going through the same. 50yrs of memories that one wants but me. Its hard to let go

Beautiful music . Great camera . Also I can tell you’re finding your groove and getting better at letting go. It seemed like you don’t freeze up when deciding what goes where. Keep it up !

You seemed a lot lighter and happier in this video than the last couple declutters 😊

Wow! I’m really proud of you, you did a great job. Looks like it was tough, lots of great things, but you made some hard choices and got rid of a lot! Well done.

From my cold dead hands, they can pry it! I like it that way 😁

I think declutter videos are as therapeutic for me as they are for my youtubers, they are my favorite type of videos.

Can I just say beautiful music selection so soothing making want to keep watching!!!!

Your bedroom looks so much easier to navigate and function in now! Taking away the options you never reach for is really going to make what you do use shine. Maybe you'll find a bolt of cloth long enough during the seweing declutter to cover the shelves, that will take away some of the visual clutter since it's containers and not things that bring joy like the hats. You did so great here and should be very proud of yourself.

I love your house. It's a home. I love your way of decorating your home. It's just lovely & your home is real! ❤

I appreciate your honesty with decluttering…I have been decluttering my home for 4 or so years. Prior I just moved piles around but now stuff has actually left my home. It feels good and I hope that you remember how good it will feel too😊

Your room is so cozy and inviting and homey. Is that an aesthetic? 😂 It should be!!

Kristina, let me say first that I have the greatest respect for your efforts to declutter your home. I can imagine how difficult some of the decisions must be for you. In this video you are showing some lovely vintage items like the Remington shaver, the hankies Lady or your collar collection. I know you are trying to get rid of things you don't need or use and this is fine. But on the other hand I think that keeping pieces you really love is no shame at all. Midcentury or even earlier pieces are great to have, they'll rise in value over time and maybe one of your kids might be interested in them later. Please don't get me wrong, the last thing I intend is to thwart your remarkable efforts, all I am saying is that it is ok to keep selected things if you want to. Even if you don't use them as props. Love from Europe

Love that you are comfortable enough to go thru your bedroom and closets in front of us-Love love love your purses especially the strawberry ones!

You did a fantastic job. It might not mean much since we don't know each other, but i just want you tk know that i am proud of you.🤗

I love how much you love your home and your things.❤❤❤

I am so proud of you. I understand how hard this work can be, and the peace of finding the balance between belongings and space is indescribable.

Every time you said you were letting something go I cheered for you! “When in doubt, throw it out!”

It is actually a very aesthetically pleasing video 😊You've done so well 👏I am not a minimalist and don't think I'll become one but have been seeking a healthier relationship with objects so seeing something like this, where you don't end up with a mat and one pillow, is extremely inspiring. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey 💕

Loved every minute of this.I can’t believe I never thought to find a vintage purse and actually use it. I suddenly realized what an ugly purse I’m carrying around lol. This video was very inspiring. ❤

What a great job you did tackling such a hard task. It looks great! You should be very proud.

So very proud of you to the point i got teary eyed! Love what you did with your bedroom especially the rack between the windows I thought it was the perfect space for it! Can’t wait to see what this journey has in store!

I had that Lady Remington in 1969....Lovely video, lovely music, and lovely you!

I’m wondering if this was filmed a few months ago because of the orange boy. We lost our cat last month and every time I saw your orange cat I got emotional because I know he passed. Again, so amazed at all you accomplished and realizing I need to go through my scarf bin…

after watching each video to the end I felt so refreshed ,renewed in my own mind of the need to start my own decluttering ,the want of the satisfaction to envelope me as I to want to walk through my home of less,but still having my eyes hold a special piece . Thank you so much for sharing the past 3 videos . Have a lovely week !

I love the bedroom furniture 😍

I want to thank you for sharing the thought process before tackling the projects. I woke up early this morning. My hubby went fishing. I drank my coffee and then began replacing my winter clothing with summer clothing. With my hubby's help, I I can send all of the winter clothes up into the attic. Oh, I actually carry hankies in my purse just like my grandmother did. I just love hearing you talk through your plans.

I just watched you reorganize your closet shelves with aesthetic boxes and now to see where it was at before it's even more inspiring

I don't know if you can see it, but your bedroom now looks MORE vintage in a homey and true way. The way an actual person would live. Well done!

Hi Christina, What a super woman you are to be able to move furniture while pregnant!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration and encouragement to keep going... After I was widowed I had some sort of anxiety thing going on and started hoarding things that I thought I would not be able to afford in the future. There was a lot of stuff from the time I was married that I just shoved into the roof until I had the emotional energy to deal with... All my clutter would have engulfed me if I had not remarried a tidy with a talent for organisation and conglomeration of similar things. I would have been drowning by now without him. It's finally time to sort through the stuff that I shoved up in the roof when my 10 year old was less than a year old. Seeing you go through stuff which is much more beautiful than my poor newlywed guff and do okay helps me know that I am going to be able to do this... It's going to be okay and I will be happy to finally have done it and proud of myself for going through the process of release... My mum never could... She ended up with 3 households worth of stuff to sort through and gets paralysed by grief over the losses of loved ones that she is confronting when she sorts through this... she is still surrounded... Thanks for being a healthy role model for the brokenhearted out here who need to see others get through and out the other side of the emotional attachment and anxiety valley and reclaim a new path to health and happiness in life. I also noted your skin looks great in comparison to an older video of yours that I saw... Congrats there... I'm trying to get there too. One day. Again, I have to express: Thanks so much for the encouragement!

When I was late-pregnant with our fifth, (and last) baby, I started to declutter and never looked back. For me, staying focused can be such a challenge, so from a random person on the internet, “you’re doing great! Keep it up!”

I enjoyed the bedroom declutter videos a lot! Love how you showcased your handbags on the clost shelf. The room looks so nice and restful. Looking forward to "visiting" with you while you continue the process. 💕

Kristina. You are BRAVE to show you bedroom. I had seven babys back to back and weekend I had step kids n grand kids. THIS IS THE HOME OF A HARD WORKEN HOARDER MOM. My kids are long grown and I shouldn't have it like this butttt I DO! I'm an EMOTIONAL HOARDER. I get attached to it. Many things belong to people long gone. I can feel happiness are sadness in my vintage items . When I sell them I'm happy they got a new home n not in the trash. You'd be surprised familys just toss everything of mom n dad in trash . We come along n give it love n new life. It's ok to be a HOARDER. You are a utuber you put you whole life in the eyes of viewers n that's ok. Your a mom of five a full time UTUBE job n probably need more closet space. There's just no room for it all. Don't beat your self up have a yard sale sell what I can n move forward . It's ok if anyone gets smart tell them talk to me lol Gypsy Roselee

Wow, what a transformation! You did amazing and I am glad for you that you did that for yourself ❤ This is the room where you start every single day and it’s so important to have a calm surrounding setting the tone for the day. Love this for you 🎉

Your videos have definitely helped my center myself and going going on decluttering my own home and life 💗

I love the kitty! I have 2 tuxedos and a golden beauty that looks like yours

I love your method of decluttering. It’s a raw and realistic view into how to let go of the things that no longer serve a purpose. Some things are only meant to be with us for a season. Thank you for your beautiful videos into that process 🍓❤️

So great!! Applause 👏 I love the reflection of wall hanging s from dresser mirror with hats all around! It’s perfect! 🎉

You go girl!!!!!! Looks so amazing!!! So proud of your hard work!!!

Great job girlfriend! The room looks lovely. And you purges have definitely inspired me to let go of some things before we move. I'm trying to gently encourage my mom to do the same (for her sanity and mine ;) )

Oh wow, I am so glad you have posted this. I am feeling more motivated about my spring clean/re-sort. Organization is an adventure at times, I don't have to dread it anymore. Thank you so much, Kristina🌻

I would love to see you with the hats on. You have some beautiful hats . I always feel so self conscious when I wear a hat.

As an amateur short film actor and costumer I am oh so familiar with the bag of wigs😂 I finally found a better place for our 2 “good wigs” literally this month after years of grocery bag storage. I loved the mention of your husbands film costumes because that has been taking over my life and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one with a bedroom drowning in film supplies

Wow. Wonderful transformation. And thanks for helping me figure out how to declutter my hats.

You are such a rock star tackling your clutter! I know th8s video is old to you but new to me. So inspiring! ❤️💋💄

I have that same lady Remington razor and trust me if you haven’t gotten around to it it is awesome, I have literally bought back ups for if it ever dies. Super quick and easy to shave dry like 5 minutes and out the door with no razor burn at all I wish they made all electric razors like this still. Love you and the honest positivity you put out there. ❤

What a wonderful transformation! Well done! I bet it feels amazing! Your room is so cute and cozy! 🥰❤

Has anyone ever told you that u look like Melanie Lynskey!!!!❤ i just binge watched the is entire series....subscribed and am gonna binge watch more before I go to bed. I love the way u speak and the rawness of ur content. I think u r elegantly beautiful!!!!

I have been watching your declutter videos. Most of them do far! I am now decluttering my own mess! Thank you for the inspiration ❤

I hung a skinny curtain rod above my mirror, hung S shower curtain hooks off of it and that's how I hang my 50+ necklaces. They don't get messed up and I see them all in front of me. Works great.

7:44 i absolute LOVE your style here! All of it, the hair, makeup, dress, brooch…❤😍

I totally relate with the gloves and suitcases. Those plaid gloves are so cute!

I sent my grand daughter your video...she has a hard time with things and always has. And you are so cute and vintage, love it. Fun to watch.

I watched you sort the scarves and we 'were of one mind' I even said our loud to swap one for another and you did it! 😂

I have made some awesome quilts with handkerchief collections and those vintage embroidered dish towels, and vintage tablecloths and napkins, etc. I also love to use vintage jewelry for Christmas tree ornaments.

Setup a wall hanging system for your necklaces ❤ There's so many cute hooks you can use.

Loved this process. Thank you for taking me with you on your journey. I am on a similar journey as I have to clear out my parents house, the one I grew up in, and get it ready to sell. My mother had a tender heart, loved all things vintage, saved everything and organized nothing. I cry over losing her and the thought of really tackling this monumental burden has me depressed and anxious. Your sensitive approach has made an impression on me and I enjoyed seeing you work through it and reach the place where your bedroom is now a haven filled with the items that make you happy. Breathe peace in your beautiful place.

Seeing you get rid of the clutter and find joy in the free space is so nice! I am definitely an emotional hoarder when it comes to clothes but now that my style is changing too, trying to sell stuff and downsize as well. Your house is lovely!

Hoping you are feeling better Kristana. Thank you for sharing.❤️

So glad you kept the white gloves. And i give you fill permission to keep them way past your year time test, regardless if you wore them, ❤❤❤

JUST PLAIN WOW!!!!

I love the vintage look. I love old books

I'm late to this, but I wanted to say that I really appreciate this video! (And the overall series.) You mentioned wanting to find a way of storing necklaces, and that's one thing that I've figured out, after a *lot* of trial and error! If you aren't concerned with dust/tarnish, then I'm a *huge* fan of hanging necklaces on the wall, or on the side of a dresser. (As someone with ADHD, if I can't see it, it doesn't exist. Plus, I own things because they're pretty - they may as well be decor!) You can use cuphooks (particularly good for heavy pendants), or simple brads or cute thumbtacks from the dollar store. I like this for longer necklaces in particular, because of tangling issues. Chokers or anything that you don't want to have hanging are tougher, and mine mostly get put away. (A friend had a bolster-style pillow that she used as a way to store/display them, but it took up too much space for me.) I store mine in shallow cardboard boxes - generally cereal boxes that I've cut down and made pretty w/contact paper. For any long necklaces that need to be stored, a jewelry box with hooks is *lovely.* But if you want to limit tarnish, then small watchmaker-type tins are great, since they have clear lids. Alternately, I like those cute satin jewelry pouches with a snap - one for each necklace to prevent tangling, putting the pendant or a strand of the necklace on the outside, so you know which necklace is in which pouch.

I love having hats and shawls up on walls for display, but they gather so much dust and can quickly get attacked by moths, so now I keep in storage boxes with lavendar satchets xx

Absolutely a wonderful job you have done. The happy and relieved feeling really shows on your face and in your energy at the end. Such a release. Loved these videos of the bedroom declutter. I can remember the era of White Shoulders. All the ladies in our family got a perfume, or a powder for Christmas. Some came in a set with both. It was always used sparingly so it would last. Thank you❤️🐕🐕

You are amazing! Thanks for your channel! Don’t listen to the ugly comments! They are just sad and miserable people so please scroll past and don’t read those negative comments. ❤

Hi ❤️ Beautiful 🥰 work you have done. 🥰

Watching this for some motivation before I do this myself

Doom closet is looking good!!!! I’m currently decluttering for a downsized move. One of your other videos talked about a built in afternoon break. I love that. Build in time for violin practice! That should help with the pointless guilt

You said your room isn't "aesthetic" but I beg to differ. It's homey and that is what matters because you live there. Kudos to getting the job done! I have been doing the same but it's because we are downsizing and still going through a lost family member's stuff, which is a whole different ballgame. Feeling the loss again, guilt, memories, etc. Purging is never easy.

I have been un-hoarding my life and home for 7 years and I’m now living in a 450 sq.ft. home with my husband. So it continues. 🙃. My brain doesn’t understand that I no longer live in a 2000 sq.ft. home. My mental state and emotions have gone through chaos and I’m not adjusting well. I thought I was ready for this but sadly I wasn’t. You are helping me truly see my house through different eyes.

Make up and hair so pretty. Lovely furniture. I have a daughter who has the same problem. I’ve forwarded your channel to her. Hopefully she will find inspiration.

you have so many pretty things, it makes me want to go to a cute thrift store now

Very glad I found your videos. I stumbled on them from your strawberry kitchen tour because I'm currently slowly filling mine with vintage thrifted pieces. I'm also in the process of uncluttering years of clutter and just... junk I've accumulated over the last four years or so, to make my home a more comforting space that makes me happier to be in. So this is wonderful motivation for me. You're great and very comforting and calming to watch and listen to, so I'm very glad I stumbled over your channel.

Just discovered you. I LOVE how you sweep everything into a big pile; I do too!!!!

h Kristina how about saving the collrs to maketops or dresses for your daughter, just an idea?

Your bedroom looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this. After watching your first video I was inspired to start my own decluttering after putting it off for too long. And it wasn’t as hard letting things go as I thought it would be!

I now have a glimpse into my future. When i start to go through my clothes ( i was a clothing sales rep) and have kept things i do not need/wear/like etc for years! Still, some are expensive and hard to let go of!

I think your lace collars are beautiful and would look fantastic framed with approximate dates of the year that they were made.

Less is sooo much more!❤️

You did an amazing job! Your bedroom looks beautiful!!

Found your channel through your decluttering videos, and I love them, thank you for bringing us along on this journey with you, the room looks great 🥰 xx
