DECLUTTER YOUR BEDROOM: 10 Things To Toss (Ep. 7) 

"No wire hangers" Joan Crawford 😉😎

I'm excited to donate my size 32 clothes! I've lost 100 pounds and it's time to clear out a whole lot. Even shoes!

funny story: we call single socks "orphan socks", my boyfriend has all black socks so whenever one sock has a hole, he trows it out and keeps the other sock (thus making it an orphan sock) until he has a hole again in another sock. the newly formed pair is called "adopted socks"

I think it is hard for some people to get rid of things because we grew up poor. It is very hard to break habits that you learned that are supposed to save money. So, you hold on to it thinking you will use it again. But, you don't. Nice video, thanks.

My house is full of thing that ill use ""one day"" 💆💆💆

One time when I cleaned my room and was able to see the floor, I realized that empty places in my room also looks very beautiful and soothing to my mind. Yes, not always we need things to enjoy. Some time just like silence, vacant place / area in the room can bring joy and satisfaction

When you mentioned jewelry I paused the video, decluttered my jewelry then watched the rest of the video 🙂 ❤️

I decided that I had to get real with myself and donate the clothes that don't fit me. I called them my inspirational clothes for when I lost weight, and it's been too many years. So it's time to say good bye and only buy clothes that fit me now.

I took my old gold jewelry, had it melted down, and now have a beautiful handmade ring that I wear all the time (even Gramma's old gold Medic Alert bracelet is in there)!

every drawer is a junk drawer save me

Paper clutter is the worst thing for me to manage. A piece of paper doesn't take up much space, so when paper clutter gathers up, it takes forever to clean up. I need to build a habit of dealing with papers right away.

I Actually think keeping a flashlight/torch in the bed table is a good idea. Power outages happen at strange times.

I give the uninvited guest the uncomfortable pillow😂

Lol "the pregnant"

Despite not having read a book in five years, my husband has a dusty personal library installed on his bedside table. Beside his designer watch collection. Which is perched next to his impressive “ode to all the limited edition plastic cups I’ve gotten at Blue Jays games.” Basically what I’m saying is my biggest source of clutter in my bedroom is my husband. My nightstand drawer is organized to the nth degree, and we’re not even sure what colour the surface if his nightstand is. Opposites attract, but my opposite is giving me grey hair!

Congratulations on your upcoming baby

Melissa, you probably hear this all the time, but I have to say, whenever I have to clean and have absolutely no energy for it, I'll watch your videos and magically, it's easier to start. I always clean with you on. Thanks for the enthousiasm!

I don't like clutter sooo... I've done the 30 bags in 30 days. I keep everything organized. I donate my magazines to nursing homes and women's shelter. I'm not a minimalist but everything has a place. Rule of thumb. .. if something new comes in... something old goes out. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Ps. Thanking God for that little bundle of joy.

I have regular clear outs, I've so much stuff to give away, as got fed up of keeping things I don't need. The some of the jewellery I have is my late step mums, I don't wear it all the time, but it's precious to me and I can still smell her on some of it so brings me comfort. Thank you for these great videos as there very helpful

Junk bags corners and draws galore. It's usually the stuff that's left over at the end of an attempted decluttering session which becomes overwhelming I think I want to keep it but I don't know where to put it. It's so emotionally draining to sort that I usually end up hiding it away.

Good video but please ditch the music. It monotonous and distracting.

How do you ACCIDENTALLY purchase shoes?

could you please do a desk decluttering video .. i would love to see a proper organisation and declutter video for a desk .. i know you did one before but it wasn't the details I was looking for so I was thinking that you could make a part two please please please

Wooden hangers look nicer and are more durable, but the thinner plastic ones take so much less space. I don't have a wardrobe room, just a small closet for my things, and I actually got rid of the wooden hangers in order to have my clothes more organized, because hanging them up is always better than folding them. They're all matched though, which makes it look neat.

I hate to sound cliche, but it's so true what they say about pregnancy: You look absolutely radiant in this video!!

My junk drawer is actually in the kitchen!

I always say "someday" isn't a day of the week. Someday never comes.

I wish this video didn’t have the music in the background

If only I could get my other half to declutter! He has way more clothes than I do!!

When you say "get rid of", I know you mean recycling/donating where possible, but wouldn't it be better to say that? Because most people just throw things in the bin, and that ends up in landfills...

My dry cleaner will take back wire hangers. Great video! Love the no junk drawer idea.

I'm sorry to say- this video was not helpful for me at all. What about paper filing decluttering? Memorabilia and memories that are unorganized? I have this nasty cycle of throwing paper in a box and putting in the closet- and it's so overwhelming to go through it because it's all important to me but some of it is personal, some is financial. How do we organize those types of things?

I love your videos!! I def need to declutter my bedroom, now back to the video! Congrats on your new blessing!

A wonderful second life for magazines & books are retirement homes.

I have ZERO junk drawers in my house! My resolution a few years ago was to give everything a home and it stuck. We made floating nightstands for the bedroom and that helped curb bedroom clutter for us. We don’t even have a dresser anymore :)

My wife passed away in April 2017 since then got rid of her clothes but so much stuff I do not know where to start very much need to get rid of a lot where do I start. Gave away 10 boxes and two big boxes sent to the women’s shelter

Beautiful hair

You not going to stay Pregnant for ever, so be careful of what Clothes you get rid of cause you might regret that you don't have this or that that you loved to ware.... I did the same thing n almost stood with no clothes for after my first born..

You should see the disaster area I live in. 😐

I still have my mom's jewelry and am going to make Christmas ornaments with it.

I have 0 junk drawers! Everything has a place in my home. Now my husbands work bench is a different story... 🙄😩

so glad you don't advocate just throwing out the single socks/holey socks but find a second life for them before they hit the dumpster. I have to admit, the single socks I do tend to hang on to though, because I just KNOW the mate is going to turn up one day!!

We moved over a month back.. And we still have a suitcase full iff documents and papers to go thru.. Its just sitting there..taunting me.. And now that suitcase is what some if the clean laundry lands on.. Agh

What's clogging up your bedroom?

I find it helpful to see if something is available to re-buy in the off chance that we actually DO need it again. Otherwise unless we're running a museum, just toss it. Your next of kin will do just that, after all

My house is a junk drawer :(

HAVE YOU THINK OR DAY DREAMING YOU WILL BE SIZE OF 4 WHEN YOU WAS 16, AND KEEP THE NICE DRESS AT THAT SIZE AND HATED TO LOSE IT, OF COURSE BY NEW FASHION WHO ARE COMPLETY IS UGLY, HOW YOU GET REAID OF OLD CLASSIC DRESS,

Great tips. One thing I do is, I have a specific number of hangers in my wardrobe....one piece of clothing hanging on each, whenever something new goes in, something has to come out to open room...and i do that quite a lot cuz I love shopping for clothes....this way I always wear everything I have and it helps me to be more charitable. Same goes for linens, a new set comes in, an old set goes out.

I keep a few old magazines around for my two nephews; they are learning to use scissors. They practice by cutting out pictures and letters they like. Then they get to glue the chosen pictures onto construction paper for a fun and easy art project. After it's used, the magazine is tossed :D

Save at least one wire hanger. Lucky for me, my neighbor had one. They are hard to find, when you need one, like when you lock your keys in the car at home.

Please turn down the music, too fast and loud very annoying. Can't watch because of it.

6:45 I thought she was talking about COVID but then realized this was 2 years ago 😣 those were the days

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm so happy for you! 💕👶🏼

old vhs movie that i can't watch anymore although i love the movies. many of them were never released on dvd i can't part with them. they are junking up my room and the garage. i have a serious bedside table junk drawer.

I slightly decluttered and now I feel like a different person

Hi Melissa, I am a loyal subscriber , I like you videos and I hope you don't take it personally but why do you keep you hamper in your bedroom? I wouldn't like to sleep near dirty and smelly pieces of clothing.

Omg your pregnant! Everything baby video please! Nusery room tour, baby haul, your must have baby items, etc. So happy for you!

Congratulations again Melissa to you and your husband. You look very pretty! Eat everything you want enjoy your pregnancy this a beautiful time. It was the happiest time of my life, awesome blessing!

Hi Melissa! This is perfect timing - I'm working on decluttering/reorganizing my home right now - and specifically my bedroom. My thing that needs to go are a bunch of clothes that don't fit me anymore - I REALLY like them - they aren't out of style, and I spent a lot of money on them, so...I have them in boxes on the shelf in my closet. I KNOW I need to get rid of them, but I just can't!

I think having the Canadian flag in the night stand drawer is really important!

Haha closet clean out twice a year *I have to do it twice a week*

In fact I am going to buy the best pillows for my siblings who are visiting me in August❤️

My kids’ stuff! They are always bringing toys in my room to play with when they come talk to me while I get ready or make my bed. Then they leave their things in my room.

Omg!!!socks are the biggest clutter in my bedroom..especially unpaired ones😭😭u pointed out so right🤑footwear and handbags next😢😢

Junk drawers = 0 Utalitiy Drawer = 1. I stopped all magazine subscriptions because I NEVER read them. I use to turn my hangers backwards and what ever I didn't wear I donated if I could. Unfortunately our clothes bar is a weird one. So I took a dry erase marker and colored part of the hanger. Whenever I wear something I clean off the dry erase marker. Whatever still has dry erase marker on it in 6 months out it goes!

Ugh i can't do my room on my own...the only way I can get decluttered is if I burn the room down.

7 junk drawers 40 vintage outfits 20 items to see 15 extra pairs of shoes 😂

My night stand drawer really needs a cleaning. I already did the one in the Kitchen! My favorite thing about this video was the socks. I watched the sock video too. loved it! I used to make sock puppets. So that brought up a fun memory. Can't wait for the videos that are inspired by a third mess maker. So happy for you!

I don’t have a junk drawer but I have a junk basket lol! Gah I hate junk drawers and I really need to do something with that basket. Thanks for the morning motivation! I’m off to get rid of that basket.

I know this is an older video, but the hanger bit inspired me to mention something. I work at a dry cleaners and we have what we call a "Hanger Recycling Program," which is just a fancy way of saying we will accept any of our returned hangers a customer drops off. So those wire hangers that come with shirts and the hangers that have the company logo on it get to be reused, and they're no longer in your closet! I'm sure not all places do this, but you could certainly ask. Where I work we reuse certain hangers but throw away others (pants hangers with sticky stuff to keep the clothes on them and competitor hangers, mainly), and we sort through them ourselves (though we always appreciate it when a customer drops off hangers that have been securely tied together with rubber bands or twist ties after being organized! You'll definitely be spoken of nicely if you do this ;) ). This only applies to dry cleaner hangers, and the nice ones that come with suits that are sometimes "orphaned" typically go to the employee coat closet, so it you really don't want them you could toss them in with the rest of your hangers, though the staff may ask you if you'd like it back. With plastic hangers from the store you're on your own. At the very least they may offer to throw your hangers away for you if you bring them in, which would save some space in your trash can at home.

H&M takes textiles to recycle. Also years ago I got rid of all my wire hangers, and then today my dad locked the car while it was running in the driveway and of course we had no wire hangers for getting back into the car. Thankfully the back door was actually open and he was able to get in.

Yay, snoogle! Best pillow ever! My friends hubby calls it "the other man". Thanks for ALL your tips, tutorials and motivation.

In my room there are craft projects from when I was 4 that u just don't have the heart to throw away after I kept them for so long! I also have 100s of soft toys that i can't throw out either!! Like if this is you!!!😝😂

I just don’t do junk drawer/s at all never have nor my garage. my garage is only for the cars and that is it.

Hey everyone! I would like to suggest to donate your old magazines to school, day care, nannies, or any other children learning environment. Teacher, aids, and nannies do art and projects with magazine clippings all of the time and they normally have to purchase the magazines them selves. The more donations they get the less they have to pay with their own money. I have even hear story of people dumpster diving for magazines so they do not have to waste the money on them. Along with magazines schools love and art supplies, folders, paper, and fabrics that are donated! :)

Wish I had that big of a bedroom

My husband and I have always hated hanging onto stuff with no real purpose except for the "someday we might" purpose. We have been decluttering regularly for years. Even so, when we downsized last year, we sold, donated, threw away so much stuff. Amazing! Now, when need to store something we remind ourselves that the idea isn't to store stuff but to have less stuff to store.

Good video. Something helpful would be how to dispose of certain items, such as pillows. When de-cluttering, I always get hung up on the items that don't fit into one of the following categories: re-cycle, re-gift, re-purpose or serious trash. Thanks.

I am dealing with a little different situation that has brought on huge clutter in my BR. Long story short: Some dear friends moved in with me after the husband was in a car accident that left him a quadriplegic. My home is very accessible. SO, I gave them my (more accessible) bedroom, and I moved into another bedroom. This room was already cluttered with my 26 year old daughter's stuff that she left behind. On top of that, I had to move MY stuff into the BR. Ugh! It is so embarrassing! I keep the door closed!!! I also am unable to walk well because of a knee problem. I thought of asking a friend to help me, but everyone I know is so busy , I hate to ask them.

Whoa! I can't believe how many clothes you guys have in your closet! That is crazy! Who needs that many outfits?

I got rid of four pillows thanks to you, in fact they have been recycled into my doggie bedding, and the dogs love them plus, I don’t miss them at all.

How do I declutter the used TV?

Guilty of the Junk Drawer issue. And yes, Of course I put books that I intend to read and never do. So guilty of that "one day"

A few "Junk" drawers and a few "Func" drawers. Random shit that seems out of place but it's functional...

Books and "decorative" pilows

my ex

I have “junk” closets I’ve got 3 kids and a fourth coming lolll

Watching in Aug 2020. Motto I go by every single day is "WHEN IN DOUBT THROW IT OUT!!!" Never forget this. Ask yurself am I gonna use this or wear it again. It's an easy answer of yes or no. If yu have to stop and think about it or if yure not sure, then get rid of it. Plain and simple.

This is exactly the motivation I needed this morning

I have organized my house so well that I feel empowered to always keep it clean... you did inspire me and motivated me.. your realistic approach is ideal and comforting.... I always give away stuff that I don’t use since I know that persons will be happy to have them... howver it’s tough T times to part with some stuff... I might keep a new pants hoping to fit intro it again after a diet...

I don't care how infrequently I go camping, there's not a chance in hell I'm getting rid of my expensive camp pillow! Have you ever had to pay for one of those? They are extremely expensive and you have to have them because they roll up so small, which is pretty important when you're carrying everything on your back! The other tips are good though. I don't have a junk drawer. Instead my junk ends up in paper sacks to sort through.

6/11/19....See if dry cleaner will take back your old wire hangars. Donate your wire hangars to church/school/daycare facilities for craft activities for kids.... Also donate to elder care places for their ppl to do crafts b/c many nursing homes/church related "visiting" ppl to nursing homes do crafts for the elderly + they sell the craft items as fund raisers around the holidays. Donate to charity groups who collect unused/new/gently used clothes for the homeless or disaster victims---so they can hang/organize clothing for ppl to go tjru/pick & choose.

Also, to utilize more space in YOUR closet, move your upper horizontal bars/shelves up--20 to 24 inches! Use your upper bars for blouses & shirts. Then install new lower horizontal bars to be used for skirts & pants! Voila! More room!

After I got Cancer. I felt down and didn’t want to get out of bed. Did not have the energy to clean my room. Then after my surgery which went well I started to watch your videos and I started to declutter. Cleaned out closet and each day My energy increased. I became excited and redecorated my room. The clutter was literally sapping my energy and causing depression. Thank you for All your videos. You are really changing our lives!👩

There is one thing I hate about what to do videos is the talking way so much on their introduction.I just wasted that whole time watching you talk j. My dad always says walk and talk to save time . It’s started to get boring no offence on your video but I don’t dig the talking way too much on the NOW HOW videos .less talking on videos more doing please. ARRGGGHHHH

I just found 3 pairs of beautiful clip on earrings that belonged to my late g-ma. I'll never wear them, and seeing them sitting on my dresser unappreciated makes me sad. So I knew they had to leave my home. Couldn't convince any of my girl friends to take them off my hands. So I threw them up on eBay, a 1 week auction, started at $4.99 and they just sold for $44! Makes me sooo happy that they will be enjoyed by their new owner! And I no longer have to look at them & feel guilty!

Appreciate Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one off product for decluttering your home without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend at very last got excellent results with it.

I don't believe anyone should have a junk drawer. Junk should not be kept. It's junk. Toss it. Every drawer should be used to house specific things. And get rid of multiples! I routinely go through my stuff and purge. I've stopped buying things that are really not necessary.

I love that lamp behind you. I up cycle lamps. Since I don't have a lot of large furniture , I think I'm ahead of the game oh, but I have lots of little junk that's going to the Goodwill tomorrow So ha 🤗 I don't have any junk drawers but I have Little tiny stuff.yuk

my bedroom is beyond being helped by this video lol
