This is gonna be good!

How exciting! You really need a new kitchen. I don't need a new kitchen just cabinets. Will start getting quotes this summer after I RETIRE! They are falling apart.

❤❤❤

What about sentimental items? What if we feel emotional attachment to each clothing item?

I commented earlier about blankets bwtn box spring and mattress. My mother in law bought very expensive twin decorative blankets. I use them as a bed skirt. They do over lap in the middle but you dont notice and who sees my bedroom beside me?

I really appreciate (at 4:00) that you are sharing about the overwhelm and anxiety of the renovation. A big project like that takes a lot of time (9:46). These feelings are very relatable! 💓

Extra blankets? I took off the top mattress and layed a few blankets on top of the box spring. I also use one blanket folded a few times to slightly elevate our heads. This frees up closet space. You never know when you will need an extra blanket such as power outage in winter time. Also…if you switch spring to winter bedding this is still a good way to keep the extras.

Your candles and matches come in handy when the power goes out..that is part of prepping so i would keep those

Remodeling is stressful but so worth it when you see the finally outcome …so excited to see your new kitchen 😊❤️

Great video! Did I see you peel and cut up bananas and put them in the fridge? If so, do they stay better or what? Very curious and never thought of that. Mine just go bad so quickly on the counter. 😮

Does Levi ever wonder who you’re talking to when you make a video? 😀 He’s getting so big.

When you said she was getting the chilly bin for camping I laughed so hard... I know, I know, you all went camping and are going again but still... Ah hahaha! Camping!!

Shannon, I love how you make your home cozy, even in the interim. I do the same thing! ❤️

I can relate to the feeling stressed or anxious. We have spent the last six years upgrading our 2002 home (we bought in 2019) into a more 2024 style home. We (and yes, husband did most of it and I clean up) have done the two bathrooms over, the kitchen and laundry room (although we had the all the new cabinetry installed and all the new windows installed), took out the old flooring and laid tile down instead (we are in our 70's). We wrapped it up with having a new roof put on and the exterior of the house painted. At our age, some projects are just too big for us to do, but building was our industry and so it's been a lifetime of doing "projects". I love watching all the changes you and Grant have made and will make in the future. It will get done and, in the meantime, don't worry about it. You know it will all come back together. I've also commented before, how much I love your back yard makeover. It is so peaceful looking to me. I can't wait to see the kitchen unfold!

I love watching you and your mom…. I think her and I could be great friends! Wish I had a daughter to help me clean out, I have all boys!

Don't throw buttons just cover them with fabric and put as a pattern full of buttons may it help u

Renovating anything is stressful! No question! We have renovated two houses and built a cottage from scratch. I say the royal we, as my husband is the handy one and I am the cleaning crew! Good luck with the project. It will be beautiful. 🥑🥦🥕🥬🍅

What a beautiful job! Lots of hard work and amazing planning on the front end. Great vision turned into a great result. And I love how your whole family is involved. I think that’s how it should be. We teach our kids life by living it with them ◡̈

I have been gradually getting rid of all my plastic utensils, food storage containers & cutting boards. Going back to the way we were in the 50’s. Also no more non-stick cookware. I said many years ago that I thought plastic were probably causing the uptake in cancer cases. I’m pretty sure I was right.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Progress!!!

So what did you do with the toxic utensils? Donate or throw them away? I’m in the same bind and just ordered new utensils.

Girl, you look so fit and thin! Great work! As always, your mom is a delight!!

I have my own tools too. Every gal needs a few if not many of her own tools. Those people telling you not to throw out his tools obviously don’t know you well and probably missed you quickly saying they were yours.

Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well just take one day at time love your videos love from Eugenie your friend xxx 🌞🏡💓

This was fantastic! Thank you, Shannon

I have a respectful prediction. It will all turn out terrific, you will be more and more successful and then you will be moving into a new build or different house. Love your channel!

Exciting changes are on the way!! I get stressed out & anxious too when there is disorganization around me. I’m also definitely not a minimalist either but love the calmness of being clutter free & simplified.

Making meals from scratch and not eating out takes some kitchen gear. I agree that uou don't need the cupcake plastic storage container but another mom might. It takes some stuff to live and eat healthfully.

I agree for my own home. I'm not a minimalist and yet i don't have clutter. I have very minimal surface decor. What I do have means something to me and I really like it. There are some glass items that I still haven't decluttered but i have stored in a compact but still easy way to get to bin. Our homes should be comfortable refuges from the world. Uncomfortable furniture, too much empty space and no personalization doesn't make for a place that can do for us what being home should.

It's so great to see you two going through your crafting and sewing bins... I have a large box of ribbons, from my Mom. I noticed how the bridal shower ribbons matched your shirt. Somebody will be so happy to have your throwaways/giveaways ~ So, last year, my son & I put Mom & Dad's whole record album collection onto Spotify. It's awesome, and always available at a click to listen to. The album covers are on Spotify also. We took pictures of the sleeves and back of the albums. You might be able to scan the sleeves, backs, and other attachments. Senior centers and extended care in hospitals love puzzles and certain crafts. Felt is such a great kid's crafting fabric. You could roll that hat up to go camping. Your camping bins must be full! Wow, you two are excellent artists! Those are probably keepers for your archives! Do you have a portfolio folder/envelope? The part about putting something over your art in that frame is great! I'm inspired to declutter my storage unit which is mostly crafts, sewing, and books...many of them are Mom's that she thinks I'd love to read. She's a full-on bookworm. You two rocked it today, that's a huge bin full of stuff to go, and three little empty ones to boot! Open space is the place! I love the whole Swedish Death Cleaning thing! It makes so much sense! Mom had three of us kids, after we moved out and had families of our own, and they were ready to move out of our family home, she had give-aways every year on her kitchen table and in the living room. My brother sent his wife to choose things for their house and my sister and I would choose for ours. It was a great way to do the Swedish Death Cleaning thing. You two have this dialed!! Thank you for sharing with us as an inspiration!

Great video!

Shannon, thank you for reminding us that everything takes time when remodeling.❤❤❤

It will be fun to watch the changes in your kitchen :)

So happy to see you’re getting your kitchen Reno! And also to see how it goes. Yay! I finally bot the house and am moving, so kitchen Reno will be me soon also. 😅😅

I can relate to your DH's comment: I am not a minimalist either. 🙂 I just like the decluttered look when I find new places to hide the stuff I wanna keep. It seems I never have enough storage space, but my DH's comment is to "just get rid of it all.". 🤣 I really like your videos and am trying to watch all of them. You use the common sense solutions that I like too. Thank you.

Oh my goodness, so excited for you and this renovation! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it all goes smoothly. 🤞🥰

You two remind me of me and my Mom & my Sister : D

Staples takes old computers.

Looking forward to seeing the kitchen reno. I like that you are decorating, even tho it's temporary.

My solution is not to own whites. Easy peasy. Black socks, underwear, t shirts etc...

This is exciting! I like that we will all get to follow along with this process to your new kitchen . 🪴😃 I’m glad you need to decorate the area for your temporary kitchen , it’s important! 😊🪴 the big window will be fun to cook under too I’m sure . It’s a great way to dig into those corners of the cupboards and we always find one more thing to go ! 👍

Have fun with your Reno! I can’t wait,for the end result!

I am like you; overwhelmed and anxious when everything is torn apart; and things all over. So glad you are able to set up your food storage and other items in the cabinets that were removed in the kitchen.

So, when you say you decluttered something, what did you do with the item(s)? I heard “donate to a friend” and “donate to an animal shelter.” I figure you throw out the broken (and/or really ugly) stuff. But what about the other stuff?

Good luck on the renovation. Are you happy with the unit sticking out into the room (near the sink)? I got one of those Starbucks England mugs for Christmas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Your mum is a gem.

Great idea for temporary kitchen setup.
