“I promise gross in every video” 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻 Good job Sophia and thanks for keeping it real 👏🏻

Hint: After you deep clean the tops of your kitchen cabinets, put a layer of wax paper over the tops or the cabinets. Then, the next time you need to clean up there, just fold up the old wax paper and put down a new layer. I learned this from a professional housecleaning expert.

We have almost no cabinets in our small kitchen, so our pots and pans are on two wall mounted pot racks in our utility room. I never pay attention to what "they" say is out of style. If it works for me, I keep it. Your kitchen looks great and is functional for you. That is all that is important.

You’re so RIGHT!! Who are these people telling us what to have in our houses! I love your music and you!! Glad I found you. 💞

💜🍃💜🍃💜🍃💜🍃💜🍃💜🍃Looks good! What about putting some of your small Corningware pieces on those tiny shelves in end cap of cabinets. That would prevent those tiny shelves from becoming a catch all????? And they would look pretty there! 💜

the metal thing came with your breadmaker it is to lift the handle on the basket so you can grab it with pot holder.

Most of the time I have no idea what is trending or what is outdated and couldn't care less. I like what I like.

Thank you! I don’t want to be minimal, I love stuff, I just want the right stuff and not keep the extra! X

I'm so glad I recently found your channel. I'm in my 70's with physical limitations. Been slowly decluttering and it's nice to watch your videos showing us a drawer or two is progress. My house is only 800 square feet so your kitchen and amount of storage space is awesome to me. Wish I had that kitchen, but I'm only one person so I have to make the best use of what I have. My goal also is to have my whole house done by end of 2023 so I'll be tagging along with you.

I'm my opinion minimalism has nothing to do with how many items you own that's a very wrong misperception, it's more about only keeping what matters and making people and experiences first and things(stuff) last in your life. Those of us who struggle with certain illnesses whether physical or mental prefer spaces that inspire them and maybe due to physical limitations it's easier to get around(less furniture) and owning less also means less to clean, and some of us are simply severely overwhelmed(perhaps due to anxiety and such) by too much visual clutter, I hope that makes sense. You be yourself Sophia thats what you've always been the best at and no need to explain yourself! Keep inspiring others! 👍🏽💐

You are creating “the journey” instead of focusing on the destination. I feel this is very important to help us all feel we’ve made progress and to we are day by day we are successful. Thank you, Sophia!!

That flat plastic thing with the groves at the end is for cleaning a George Forman grill or similar appliance.

I thank you for saying, not everyone needs nothing on the counter...I had to quit watching some channels because they told the viewers they are wrong, blah blah... You've grown in your decluttering skills!

The little paddle is for George Foreman grill to scrape out the grooves.

I had a little scrapper like that for my George Foreman grill.

That last metal thing in that drawer is for pulling out the kneading hook from your breadmachine out off your bread when the bread is ready, I use it all the time.

I agree with you Sophia - it is a good feeling when things are clean and organized in such a way that things aren't difficult to get at or tumbling out of cabinets. You are doing great!

Sophia, you make the best decluttering videos I have ever seen, truly inspiring. Thank you. Lots of love to you and your family. 🌻

A vase with a twig! Bahaha. Too true

I’m pretty sure the metal plate with the holes goes in the bottom of your pressure cooker for canning.

You have a lot more room now in your cabinets! It's always amazing! I love it! Great job!

My favorite youtuber ☺❤

This was a great series on Kitchen. That is the heart of our homes and you made it more cozy and useful to cook in. My favorite was the (horror) you found under the stove drawer, it helps us to check those areas and grateful your not afraid to share all of it in this declutter. Thanks much for your honesty and cheerful sharing !

I love the way you said you're not getting rid of your good cake pan.

Sophia..this is not about your cleaning but it's funny..you have eyes like my Mom had..very pretty but oh my , if she got mad her eyes would scare us and all she had to do was look at my sister and I with that look on her face and her eyes would say it all and we'd stop what we were doing instantly...ps I love your videos, I'm 72 and your videos get me cleaning out my stuff.

I cleaned under the stove yesterday. Found a pr. of scissors, few bottle caps a potato chip and my measuring spoon. Well, dust and cat hair too, but not as much as I envisioned. I keep my cast iron in the oven, no room elsewhere, but I realized I can keep some in the oven's bottom drawer. Anyway thanks for the inspiration.

Very satisfying clean/declutter. Glad you kept the Bundt pan--I was internally screaming "Keep it, Keep it!" 🤣😂

I think the "experts" who tell us what's in, and what's not, are just doing their job, by keeping us spending our money to keep up with their new trends. 😊

The pestle from the missing mortar, donate it too! I look for those at thrift shops.

As a fellow cook and thrifter I admire your keeping things and re-using. I do have one recommendation tho. The one pan that you pulled out appears to be an old Teflon type pan that is very scratched. Lol. I stopped the video to add the previous comment this will teach me to watch then comment This is a kind warning that can be a dangerous piece to cook with. I would like to see you replace or give up those types of pans. But think everything else you do is so true to the most of us older and thrifty (lets face it next to frugal ) cooks I remember my grand's and my parents warning us about re-using re-purposing everything and I try to continue this today. But then again safety first.

Not needing to aspire for minimalism is such an important message! I am truly a minimalist, but my husband is not and we are in the baby/toddler phase of life probably for the next 5-10 years. I used to be so unhappy and fight the extra stuff, but since I have accepted what our current life looks like and find gratitude for the excess, I am very content! I declutter my/children things often and am becoming an expert in managing my own house.

I know it's a bit late to say, but that little thing like a hook, I've got one too. It came with my bread maker to take (I don't know how you call them in English) pallets? out. If you don't take them out before the bread is cooked, you stick it through the hole and pull them out.

Sophia, you are making such amazing progress! Keep the momentum going-- you're building up your self esteem and that shows in the quality improvement of your recent videos! You go, girl!

You made me laugh about the cake pan😅 enjoying this series💕

Thank you so much Sophia for this video! Your videos are very informative and helpful, I'm glad you always keep it real too!

Hi Sophia! I absolutely love this series! Just an idea that came to my mind watching this video, maybe you could put your cooking books on display on the corner shelves you freed during this declutter (I know that they might get greasy, while where they are now they are protected, but they would look nice! Anyway, just an idea, as you always say: whatever works better in each household. Love and have a great weekend!

I have some of the Spice of Life Corning-ware that I bought for my hope chest when I was a teenager. Sorry, showing my age! Haha I recently saw a pro tip to put waxed paper at the top of the cabinets. Maybe?

Who makes up these rules?? If a pot rack is outdated, I like even more! Great job, Sophia!

I would have kept the smaller cake plate. I don't like it when the cake perches in the middle of a plate like it's lost in the wilderness. 😆

The item at 14:33 that you said you can use to scrape, is from a George Forman Grill to clean the groves.

This decluttering series is awesome!

There’s no being outdated when an item is very practical. I think so many designers just make $hit up to make you have to spend money repeatedly changing things.

Sofia! ❣The camera angles, the editing, the timed music, the clarity of the videos: Wow, just wow! 🎥 I decluttered my kitchen 🫖 with your inspiration and encouragement.🎉 Thank you! I tried to do the chemicals under my kitchen sink too.🪣Your kitchen is looking great!

Hello. Inspiring video to clean and de clutter along with you. I fill my kitchen sink with hot water, white vinegar and baking soda and put my pots, cookie pans and every article that is dirty. Leave them for some time and then scrub. All the black under the pots clean very well. I live in Costa Rica.

You are so good at putting the important things in to words AND showing that by your actions. Thank you! I found your channel last year on my search for ‘sustainable’ ideas and how-to’s. I love your minimalistic maximalism!!! Keep the things that work for YOU, and send the rest on its way to new homes or (if it can’t be mended) to recycling. And! I am so happy you decided to trash the frying pan. The Danish Consumer association (TÆNK) has just reminded their members of the importance of disposing of any Teflon pan or pot with even the smallest of scratches in regards to PFAS. (It ‘cost’ me my favourite sauté pan today😳).

You made some big improvements in your kitchen! It's clever how you store your pot lids at the back of the stove and arrange everything for optimal function.

Lol. Keeping not kidding.

New subscriber and I am loving following your decluttering. I have major back pain and can only do a cabinet at a time. This shows me I can make progress going forward. Thanks!

Thank you for these videos. I needed this motivation. The music is on fire 🔥 love it - gets me moving.

I LOVE your channel, Sophia! I LOVED your spectacular Christmas 2022! I LOVE to spend time with you, and your sewing tutorials are excellent! Your decluttering changes make sense - change without improvement doesn't make sense. Your videos are the catalyst that inspired me to spontaneously reorganize my cookware cupboard according to how I use it. This has resulted in elevated ease of use and much exaltation! Greetings from The Canadian Prairies

WOW! Great job. I really enjoyed your whole kitchen declutter and looking forward to more decluttering.

I just want to get rid of the stuff we don’t use I don’t care about minimalism. That’s a label that means different things to people.

You look stunning in this video. I like your attitude its most inportent to improve not to be perfekt.

I agree with Susanne. Put the padre and the trio of padres on the corner shelves. They’ll look lovely there. You’re doing a great job. 👍

This morning I began decluttering my cabinet where I keep my baking pans. It's a long cabinet and hard to reach the far right side. I had my daughter get down there and she pulled out my large container of cake molds. Lo and behold, stuck in the back was a charcuterie set of bamboo boards, still in the box. I had forgotten I even had it. I don't know how long it's been there. I only know my son helped me declutter one time and he stuck it in the back. He's been living in another state for 7 years so it's been a long time in the back. I 'm happy we discovered it because I almost bought one at Christmas, then changed my mind. Now I have a big one and its smaller boards that I forgot about. I can't even remember who gave it to me. Also, I wanted to mention that I didn't know you could remove the drawer to the stove until 4 years or so ago. I said let's clean this and I could see the floor underneath part of the side. I pulled it and it came out. What a mess! We have 2 cats. Under that drawer were various items some of which were cat food, cat hair, elastic hair bands, a couple of toy mice and a few magnetic tiny ducks that had fallen off the refrigerator. It was a treasure trove of junk. Not any more. And like you, I am afraid to see if I can move the refrigerator. It's not on a small dolly so it may be hard to do, but this is my year to declutter. You've been inspirational.

Hi Sophia ❤ on the top of the cabinets, i used a bunch of those thin plastic chopping boards to battle the dust. I spent aaaallllll day cleaning the gunk and dust off the top of mine and I won't do that again. So now i just pull those down and give them a hot soapy wash and back they go. It works so well. Awesome video as always xxx

Love today's colour palette. So soft and girly. If I tried to wear that colour top I would disappear. My hair and skin is too close to it. 😂

Count me in as one of the out of style, I have a pot rack in my kitchen, and for the same reason they are so handy when I'm cooking, I just reach up and grab what I need.

Gosh, the boy has grown so much

Clever to put it in wrap. We get big clear bin bags here. So I use those because it's easy to take the occasional use items out of them and return them.

That looks like a scraper for the George Foreman grill.

As a collector myself ( port mierion botanic garden) your Corning ware shelves made me happy

Sophia, I know how much you love your Spice of Life collection, but those shelves are making me nervous! That stuff is heavy, and your shelves are sagging just the tiniest bit. I know you're super handy (go you!) and I'd love to see you possibly do a few cross braces and possibly a tiny little bullnose front on them to keep anything from sitting too far forward. I've been watching you for years and I can't even believe how much you're able to get rid of now!!! Your house used to look overwhelming, and nothing had pride of place because *everything* was special. Now anybody could walk in and identify what possessions you actually care about. And don't get me started on your Vaseline/uranium glass!!! I just want one tiny piece (maybe a toothpick holder or the like) and I'll be happy, as I have no display space and it would look ridiculous in my kitchen.

Thank you for all the inspiration you give us!

I have cleaned , decluttered and organized both my bathrooms. Its so nice to be able to find things and have clean neat countertops. BTW I made your Chicken and stuffing Casserole and also your Salisbury Steak recipes and both were a hit. Blessings

The metal hook (the one you said is for canning) is for your bread machine. To grab the bread metal basket when it's hot.

Your winning Sophia 😊and looking amazing as well

The small grey scraper is for a George Forman grill. Great video as always!

Why don't you display the padre cookie jar with that cute padre little set on those corner shelves? They are adorable. Good job on your kitchen declutter.

Sophia, another helpful video!♥️ Every time I watch there’s a new tip for me! I’ve also learned to reward myself with short breaks. Slow & steady wins the race! Hugs 🤗

Lovely job. I am enjoying watching this series.

You are inspiring me to keep going in my house! Love it

You are doing great. Enjoying this 2023 series.

I'd keep the spinning condiment thingy on the dining table or a sideboard, great nut keeper! Must be lovely feeling to have kitchen clean and organised!

Hi,im new to your channel,watched you over the last couple days when iv been laid up not feeling too well.enjoyed your kitchen de clutter,of course we are all different in what we feel is clutter and not,i have two corner cupboards which beat me every time,😂i declare this next time i am going to be ruthless👍👍😜love Lizzie xx😊

I love this series!!! I look forward to these decluttering videos ❤

You are really making progress! Thanks for video!

Ahhhh.... Every kitchen needs a MONKEY!! Hi, Willy! You're right, Sophia. Decluttering is a constant project but will worth the effort.

Hello Sofia- I have a suggestion…I think it would look lovely if you rearranged the little end shelves that you cleared off to accommodate your darling vintage monk cookie jar as display and then you could add the other little monk set to the top shelf. I think that collections displayed together have a cleaner look and look mindful and chic. Just found your channel and I LOVE it! You are such a kind, warm and inspiring person. I , too love antiques, but I am at a stage in life as my boys get older to pare down and let go of some of my treasures. I do not have to own it, just because I find it beautiful. However, I will never part with my most cherished items just to yield to the “minimal” mindset. 😊

Great! Courage !😘❤️🌹

This is my favorite of all your content. Thank you for doing this decluttering journey for 2023. I will be watching as usual!!

You're continuing to inspire me. Thanks.

Don’t forget to pull out the fridge and clean under it. Mine was so gross!

I have come back after watching this 10 days ago to tell you that you have inspired me to clean and declutter my upper kitchen and breakfast nook cabinets. Now all the top shelves are empty -MT!- (except one where I display some souvenir mugs). 5 double cabinets, one single wide cabinet. I already did the two double over appliance cabinets a few years ago when I decided I didn’t want to get on a stepladder to access those spaces.

Your looking younger in every video😮 Did you discover the Fountain of Youth!!🥰 On a serious side, please trash that scared and scraped skillet!! Those become TOXIC to humans as we cook food then we eat little bits of the coating. We don’t want you getting sick or worse😮. You know, I’m like you, I don’t give a flip about Pinterest or what “ designers” say. They make their $$ by telling women to change into the designers choice way of living , making the $$ as we pay out $$ only to be told 3-4 years they don’t like it anymore. I am glad the green/ orange / gold is over but that’s been what, 50 years ago. Have a safe work week, (((hugs))) I just saw you trashed the damaged skillet 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Keep both white cake display pieces. There are showers and dinners ahead where the smaller on top of the bigger one would make a lovely place to display a variety of treats.

That white plastic scraper came with a George Foreman grill to clean it.

Enjoying series. Thank you!

Great job .

Sophia I love your hair

You look so good

You inspire me thank you❤️

I’m working in my kitchen now as well. But much, much slower paced.

Love watching your videos. I have decluttered and organized my kitchen (my husband even helped). I have one more wall of display and storage cabinets yet to go. You helped me see that it doesn't have to happen all at once. I am not overwhelmed and love my kitchen. By the way I cleaned under my stove drawer the other day. It had been jammed and I wasn't able to open it. I watched another you tube video on how to get it open. So glad to have a clean drawer and be able to access my bakeware again. Thank you for the encouragement and keep up the good work!!

Sophia those surveys are annoying I've seen a hanging pot rack in school cafeterias I'm only sorry that I don't have the room to install one in my kitchen otherwise I'd hang my pots also

I miss the old intro, but this new style is very cool and professional! I wasn't a fan of the outro, it just repeated everything you just said, I much prefer this style. Well done! 🤩❤️

Hanging pot racks are classic ❤

Started my kitchen this week …you inspired me. Who makes these rules what’s outdated ? When do you get all this done with working full time? And I know you sew as well! I’m retired and feel like it takes me forever to get things done! 😩

I always find those things that make your space outdated have stuff that I like included in them

Love those tea tins! Gorgeous colors! SO enjoying these videos!
