EXTREME Declutter and Clean with Me {SATISFYING} | Episode 4 | JUNK CLOSETS 

I love the praying over your stuff that you are finding hard to get rid of! It helps me find the peace of getting rid of stuff.

I love your progression through this video. Not just the decluttering but you. First day, you came prepared and rocked through the mess. Day two, like you said, “I’m struggling” and you were but you made it through the day. Then day three. The hair, the war paint (makeup), you were determined to finish this closet and it showed! 💖

Re: Gift wrapping A while ago I opted out of gift wrapping paper. Sortof. I only have a roll of brown paper that $tree likely still carries. You can pick any color. I jazz it up with colored ribbon. So no bin or special bags etc. For a while I kept all the gift bags but we really dont use them. Everything for wrapping presents fits into a suit protector that uses a hanger so hangs in any closet. It zips shut so keeps everything dust free. Very transportable and not an awkward pile of rolls of paper, bows, etc.

Re: new baby clothes How about dropping by a homeless shelter or a women's refuge to see if there is a need? This note more for viewers as Shannon has already decided what to do with hers.

Look up Erica Lucas on RU-vid she is a decluttering home school mom and she has videos and videos of decluttering

Just finished cleaning up my son's room. We have four children and my husband's fur baby kitty. The winter has made cleaning a big house challenging. I am very blessed being a stay at home wife and mother. It's having to be patient with myself.

I watch a few minimalism channels. The difference is that if something's not working they 1. Seem tuned in and 2. They move it out. Quickly. They don't put it aside or put the replacement item on top of it. Likely "one day" all our possessions will be sent to thriftstore or to the dump. That "one day" can be when your kiddos have to deal with it or you can choose the date for that "one day". The great thing about doing the declutter now, is you shift it out and you can learn something helpful for going forward --- do you need something else, if so can you borrow or get it free or cheap? --- do you already have something that will do the job as well or better? --- do you really not need that item afterall now that you've thought about it? Just a thought I had. I could see in your struggle moment these things really got to you, it's not just a game for youtube likes, it's fixing your life for the better. A very honorable activity. Thanks for sharing your process, I esp. liked when you started with the before and 2 weeks after shots of your master closet. Helps folks to join in if they see real life example. 《《《 pat on your back》》》

"We were so blessed with all this stuff, that we just had TOO MUCH TO USE" AMEN

I love how you take one area or room at a time and do decluttering, saving and cleaning all in one session. Love watching you. You inspire me

I just found your channel... trying to declutter and looking for motivation.. and I’m hooked to your channel. You’re beautiful, and captivating, motivating and inspiring. And cute as a button. I appreciate you taking the time to film this. Keep it up! New sub from me!

"Mommy drinks"... goes with everything especially the sound of someone else doing the dishes. Cheers 🥂

It's really amazing to see your before and afters. Having everyone on board for returning things to their proper homes will make this so much easier to maintain! I look forward to seeing more.

Great job! Glad you were brave enough to show the “before” pics.

You: A junk closet. Me (throwing my head back in hysteric cackles): Girl, I have whole junk ROOMS. 🥴

I saw the financial peace university on the shelf - so worth it! Baby step 7 here - one of the smartest things I ever did.

You did such an amazing job! It looks great! Ik it sometimes can be hard to get rid of Baby clothes but you always should remember that all the memories and love is in your heart not in the clothes!♡

The list you gave as a surprise all sound greet. I need to clean out those spaces too. Thank you. When i cleaned out my clothes i played your video to keep me on track. I feel we are all wanting to clean but we are all overwhelm. You help. Me so much.

Share our blessings, I just love that!

When you pass things along someone else gets blessed by what you give as you were when uou were given it

“It looks like a whole bunch a junk if ya ask me” So funny Shannon

So very proud of you, you did an amazing job !!

Wow! Super job....love the wrapping center...gotta do that myself

Amazing! So proud of you!!🥰

I just discovered you thanks to your collaboration with Erica Lucas!! Cant wait to watch more of your videos!

Ya plowed through like a boss! Well done!

Hi There! My primary bedroom closet has at times been a junk closet. The place where random things I don’t know where to put end up. I’m slowly working on it and it’s getting better. Slow and steady…. I’m really enjoying your videos. Happy Friday! ❤😊🐦

Shannon, this video just showed up and I loved it.

Definitely share the blessings. You could see if a women's shelter or children's home could use the baby clothes. BTW.... Well done 🙂. Decluttering is challenging. I'm just starting year 3 of slow and steady progress. Enjoyed your video. Great quality and format

Wow great job!! You got so much done!!

I have a flat zippered container I bought on Amazon under each bed and it contains an extra set of sheets and a blanket for that bed. Then I don't need to keep them in a linen closet.

Hon, I feel you. I have so many areas in my house that are cluttered and feel overwhelming. Lots of little stuff, nothing has a home, just shoved in a box to "deal with later." I found your videos because I was trying to motivate myself to declutter. I have watched many videos regarding decluttering but yours have motivated me the most. It isn't sugar coated with you, it's real. I feel that!

Wow you did so so well! I think when youre in the midst of it its do hard to appreciate how fantastic you've done, I'm loving your videos

Nice job!!! Progress! Tip: put skinny wrapping tubes down inside bigger tubes. Really save some space then!! Congrats !!

Turning a new leaf! 🌿

You did a great job!

Looks great and love enthusiasm I’ve started to downsize one thing everyday

Great job!

New subscriber, loving all the de cluttering motivation x

"You're on your own mom" hahaha

I love this! Declutter away! It’s empowering to get rid of junk. You did a great job here!

Good for you, HUGE job done. If I may, folding things properly does make a big difference as well. 💖👏👏👏

Bingeing the decluttering and wow I can't believe how good you did. I homeschool my kids and I totally get how hard it is to get rid of anything that has to do with learning. Thank God my children love looking stuff up on the computer because books are expensive and I have found a bunch of free games for the littles and free worksheets because that's what they prefer right now. my oldest likes reports and projects and I'm happy with that.

Nice work !

One mans trash is …. U threw away what some wud be estatic to just have!! Omggg!!!

The gift wrap solution is ok, but open storage looks cluttered I think. Growing up we had a gift wrap bag . It was pretty, from a hi end shop & hung on the back of the coat cupboard door . It was simple & practical: everything in one bag.

Wow, you just gave me the best idea ever with that shoe race or storage....Amazing 👍🏼 so impressed. The motivation you gave me was off the charts. Thank you 🙏🏼

Came over from FFM as well. I would love a kitchen declutter.

Such a great episode! Closets for me get crazy because I’m a ladybug from Cas’ organization bug styles.

You are amazing!

Love love love...share our blessings. 🥰

So good 👍

Your doing amazing

Came over from Frugal Fit Mom's link.

The gift papers will go even smaller when you remove the brown inside and roll just the paper. I did this with all of my giftpapers (I use them for scrapbooking too, so I have MANY). So, I removed the inside, rolled it tighter and put a elastic bad both ends. Now they stand neatly on a cereal box. :D

Sometimes I look around the house for areas I haven't gone into for a long time. Eg: which drawers or cabinets have been unused? Those are areas that I'm obviously not using/needing whatever's inside, and should be easier to declutter. You're doing great!

Love ya!!!

Hi you are doing a great job 👏👏👏

Oh my! I felt your struggle when you opened that door to that closet under the stairs. Lol! I so need to do thus all over my house. It's not bad cuz it's just me & my husband but it still gives me anxiety cuz I hate clutter. Love your gift wrap station.

I loved your video!! Share our blessings 🙏🏽❤️

way to go

I just found your channel. Thank you so much for the motivation. I’m trying to decluttering my junk room...that seriously looks like your closet under the stairs. It’s an overwhelming room. Your my new favorite!

Hi new subscriber! I felt you in your moment of struggle! The closets that have multiple categories are always a challenge!

Auto play put me on your video, and I am so glad! You’re awesome and doing so great! Love how real you are and I am here for all the motivation! ❤️

Kitchen bathroom playroom and then your car decluttering videos ID like to see

Wow! You did a great job! Looking good🌷

living for this! so glad to have found you. look into bags that you can store your board games and different home school sets in. I saw some used on Jamie's Journey channel. game changer! it would work well for your closet, I believe.

This was SUCH a GREAT video!! You're incredibly inspiring!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

You did such a great job.

Wow! You are slaying it! Great job! Enjoy your personality as well. Mommy drink, lol. Also I have those dollar tree bins and had no clue they stacked.

I would love 💕 to see the 🛁 declutter!😃

Well done! This is the first video I’ve seen on your channel, I’m going to watch some more in this series now 🤩

Wow so much inspiration thank you for sharing x

I know shelters for domestic violence could use stuff like that, since most leave with the clothes on their backs. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow, great transformations!

Great job! It looks amazing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Just subscribed. Thank you for the extra motivation! This Covid time with the kids doing virtual school has become my season of decluttering. It feels good! Nice to 'meet' a kindred spirit:)

That box from your previous home was so satisfying. I have some like that and you gave me inspiration. LOVE the gift wrap station. Wondering how it is working for you?

Just found your channel while searching for declutter/org videos - am loving this video and looking forward to watching more!!

Just subscribed! I saw in your closet that you had Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University pkg. Next to decluttering, that program was life changing for me. Less stuff, less stress, and financial peace....!💕

For the baby clothes, if you don't know anyone who could use it now and still have them, would it be possible to donate it to a womens/family shelter or to foster care?

New subscriber glad I found you you are in spiring and I feel your pain ...its a neverending struggle but satisfying when we accomplish these things

Kitchen next!

Good job!

New subscriber 🤗

Just found your channel. Great job decluttering. Very proud of you, I'm sure it wasn't easy.

I have contemplated whether or not I should share my story (or at least part of it) with you. I decided this morning that I would. So years ago, I moved back east by myself and lived 14 years of absolute joy and growth in my life. I met and married my now ex-husband who decided he wanted to move back to my home state since he lived in North Carolina, his whole life. So we sold my house and moved to Colorado. Two months after we arrived here, we got news that his 19-year-old son had passed away. It was unexpected and unnecessary. We don’t know exactly what happened and the story behind that is something I will not share because it is not only very lengthy and drawn out, but it is private and too hard to share. My biker husband who is tougher than nails broke. His mind was shattered and he was never the same again. So instead of us starting our construction company here in Colorado as we plan, the next nine years were spent with me being his caregiver and trying to give him some joy and reason for living. I watched as he prayed the prayer of faith before we ever got married and I saw him rely on God up until that point. When that happened, he basically turned against God. So I was not only fighting the loss of a stepchild, but I was watching my husband give his life back to the devil. It was when he told me in those exact words that I felt the Holy Spirit tell me it was time to end our marriage. He threatened me and made my life miserable for the next few weeks. I ended up sending him on a one-way ticket back to North Carolina but not until he had spent a few days in the mental hospital due to an attempted suicide. I felt like for so long it was my responsibility to keep him alive and then I realized I couldn’t do that. It was his choice to make, and it was killing me to try to help. In the midst of the end of our marriage, we lost our beloved fur baby Harley Davison. She was a precious dog and I still miss her terribly. Also, shortly after we moved back to Colorado, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. Again, another long story that I won’t trouble everyone with the details, but my mother was my world. I absolutely loved her and she was such a godly woman. They gave her six months, but by the grace of God, she was given almost 5 more years. What happened to be the time when my marriage failed was when my mother also was lying on her deathbed. I remember sitting by her hospital bed while she slept in a morphine induced sleep, and signing my divorce papers. My sister and I rotated 24 hour shifts over the next couple of months being at her side in the hospital. The last night of her life was on my watch. It was my birthday. She passed the next afternoon just thirty minutes after I left the entire family at the hospital to go home to rest and shower. Eight months later, Dad (who was abusive to me and Mom) fell and developed a brain bleed. He was flown out and hospitalized and in rehab for about two months. When he came home, he was combative and stubborn. He passed six months later. A few months later, I was told by my three older siblings that I had to find a place to live other than the cabin our parents told me I could stay in. The siblings wanted the cabin. So, I hurriedly bought a house and moved out with the help of a begrudgingly unkind brother who now owns the cabin. It is solely by the grace of God and the strength He gives me each and every day that I carried on. I will be sixty years old in a couple of months. I never had children and had to have a complete hysterectomy shortly after I married for the first time at 43. The depression added to my already overweight body and I continue to battle that especially being post menopausal. My doctor had prescribed me Zoloft and it did help, but I spent nearly six months pretty much in bed. Ironically, the only thing I did was clean, eat, and sleep. I kept thinking if I didn’t get through this or if someone had to come get me for medical reasons, I would be mortified if they found me living in filth and squaller. Mom always enforced the daily task of making our bed and picking up anything on the floor. Dirty clothes were put in the laundry basket. Period. She was loving and gentle, but firm at the same time. When I finally came out of that cloud of darkness, I was grateful that I pushed through the roughest times to do the tasks required to keep the house in order. As I posted once before, I see each and every step of my life part of what God has allowed and everything I have is a gift from Him. I have held fast to the mindset that to take care of those gifts honors God. It holds me to task. So, I understand the hard battles. I truly do. I just wanted you to know.

You did an amazing job! Now I need to subscribe and go watch videos 1,2, and 3!

Wow... Luv ur work... Loads of luv frm DUBAI

Came over from FFM! You are doing a great job!

Just found ur channel...wow great work w all those closets!! I’m sure u can donate the baby clothes to a local church or shelter?:) if u want to save a ton of space u can put each board game in a reusable plastic bag & then have all the bags in one bin!! Jamie from Jamie’s journey shared that idea a few mos ago & I think it’s incredible!:)

Just remember in future that empty space is functional and doesnt need to be filled 😊 like shelves floorspace etc. Empty space actually makes the areas around it MORE functional because youre better able to see things use things organise and move them around and if all the spaces are filled then itll end up shoved together or dumped on the floor and things will be forgotten and misplaced and essentially dead because things get life through being used if they are just in a cupboard somewhere or "decor" because you dont want to get rid of it but dont use it for its intended purpose then theyre adding no value to your life your home and actually xost time energy and money to maintain transport store etc they take up valuable realestate that should be left open for more important things like board games for family time etc

Kudos darling! I have a Monica Closet to clean out! 🤪 I am playing the Minimalism Game this month with some other youtubers. It’s very motivating! One thing day 1, two things day 2 etc. You are doing a great job! 💜💜💜 My Monica closet is underneath the stairs too.

❤️❤️❤️

I have a closet in my craft room that is full to the brim with no idea what is in it. Honestly it scares me 😵‍💫😱😱😱

New to your channel You are too sweet 💗 your videos

I have junk closets and bins, not junk drawers…

I use generic wrap. Make one female one and Xmas That’s it

What do you think of the VACMOP? I want to get one for my trailer so I don’t need a vacuum and mopping supplies.

My scrapbook items are the worst for me to get rid of
