Ever since I got married I've been saying the bedroom is NOT the place for a TV. I agree 1000%! Thanks for all the other tips😊

[@thebusybees2006]

Thank you for the tips

[@yvettevalmond2757]

I AGREEEEEE

[@KayleighDeRosier]

Agreed!! We have the same blank wall in our bedroom. No TV!

[@messymomma94]

Your channel has absolutely changed my life. I have decluttered so much and I have noticed such a difference in my mental health. You've actually gave me the confidence to start my KZbin channel that I've been wanting to do forever. Thank you 🥹🫶🏻

[@dm55379]

Margaret I am 67 years old and have been watching your channel for a month now and have learned sooooo much from you! I wish I had embraced this way of life years ago but it’s definitely part of my whole being now. I have tried the tallow and it is by far the most effective product I have ever tried. Living a simple clean life is truly the best. I could go on forever…but the bottom line is I am a much happier and nicer person because I changed my way of living. You are a wonderful mother and wife and look forward to your next video! ❤

[@gayleneb57]

I love how you give the reasons and benefits for what you choose to own and what to declutter. I am 66 and have just discovered these things in the last five years or so. God is giving you great wisdom! Thank you for your videos.

[@BritanyRoby]

Even if I don't need to declutter my bedroom I'm still gonna watch anyway cause your literally the most calming person ever!!!!😊

[@michellewookey]

Put your art piece over the TV plugs so you can look at something beautiful instead of ugly plugs. Love your channel. You inspire me. 🙂

[@dovile.n.g]

Cover the wall plugs with the painting! Much better than TV is a calm picture over the top plugs ;)

[@jennylhenry78]

I agree!

[@loisbarry5534]

Margaret, why not put that beautiful picture over the outlets where the tv would go. Centre it so that is your focal point as you’re both sitting in bed. Covers the ugly, in your face plates and brings a more calming eye line view. Win-win…. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏼

[@margaretmatheny]

Yes! I totally agree! Going to do that today!

[@ArielChadwick]

Well, I live in a tiny home that is literally one room (plus a bathroom 😂) so I'm excited to see how I can apply these tips in my life! It's haaard when our entire family (five of us!) lives in such a small place!

[@erintannehill]

I agree on all points, especially not having a TV in the bedroom. It really does make a difference in a relationship.

[@hayleyredd5092]

Absolutely!!!! I've been with my husband for 10 years, I'm 29 years old, and we have NEVER had a tv in the bedroom! We have 1 TV in the living room, the only one in the house and 3 kids and we either all watch TV together or we are outside playing.

[@jennylhenry78]

I'm missing one despite watching twice! (Or was there only 9 even though the last one you said is 10. 😅) 1. Get rid of bedside table junk -I use a short stool and have a plant and my kindle and a couple of other books. I need something to set my glasses on at night or I'd get rid of this altogether. My husband has a bedside table and it's always cluttered. 2. Reduce the amount of furniture. - we have our bed, 1 side table, 1 side stool, 2 dressers, and a desk with chair. We have an old house (she's in her 90's) and the closets are like a shoebox so not even close to walk-in, which means we have to have the dressers. If I could get the desk and chair out I would buy there's no where else I can put it. I need it in there for my afternoon quiet time when I may need to work there and my children are in the other spaces of our house. And it would make other spaces too stressful, so I have to live with it here. 3. Don't keep shoes in the bedroom. - We do have ours in our room. I like to wear shoes all the time, including inside (I'm sorry!) so I keep some of mine by my side of the bed. My husband keeps most of his shoes on a shoe rack in the closet. 4. Don't keep phones and charges in the bedroom. - We charge our phones in the kitchen but do use our phones for our alarm but always put them on airplane mode while sleeping. 5. Harmful lighting. - we have a salt lamp for night time. I don't have any idea what lightbulb is in our overhead light. And we do have a red light in our room too, but we don't use it nearly as much as we should. 6. Declutter surfaces. - I have to do this on the regular. Every time I clear off my dresser, my husband uses it bc the top of his is cluttered. And my desk is small so it's always got things on it. 7. No under bed storage. - yes one I can say I also don't keeo anything under our bed! 🙌🏻 8. Wall space. No TV! - yes! Us either. Never have. I also said from the beginning of our marriage that we won't ever have TV's in bedrooms. 👍🏻 I only have a photo of us on our honeymoon and a painting my in-laws gave us for our wedding. Nothing else on the walls. 10. Visual Clutter - there's too much in our room but bc of our house I have to work at my desk in there sometimes and we keep a small folding table and folding chair in the corner bc there's lots of times my husband needs to study/work in there. Overall I would like a bedroom space like yours, but isn't an option in this house. Prayerfully in the future!

[@Livingthefreelife]

100% agree with the technology in the bedroom. And all points you made actually, I’m not there yet but slowly moving towards it. As always, THANK YOU Margaret!! ❤

[@emilyanschuetz8409]

I love this video it’s something I haven’t seen before! I feel like it is common to see what to declutter in your kitchen videos. Would love to see this as a mini series on your channel!

[@booniebevins1311]

I moved the tv and my phone out of the bedroom and I sleep a lot better!! Thank you for sharing!

[@sarahleineweber7739]

This is my FAVORITE type of video from you! Thank you so much! I have been recently working to make our room a haven and sanctuary of rest, and this helped me take it to the next level 🎉 as for the picture and where I think it should go in your room. I think it should go to the side of your chair (I believe the left) that has the TV plugs and cover those little outlets and plates( if that works. ) those can add to clutter. ❤❤❤

[@Dana-mb1hd]

MARGARET 💖your videos help me tremendously- I can’t thank you enough- I can’t wait for your course that’s coming because I need your help!💖🙏💖🙏💖

[@dylin._.]

Put the framed art near the comfy chair..hide the electrical outlet.

[@diannamorrison2431]

I also like it on the desk.

[@joyking7609]

I like the artwork by your comfy chair❤

[@fasangsandra]

Thank you again! You motivated me so much that I have done it through the video 😊

[@hilaryjeb]

As I was watching, I walked over to the tv stand, took everything out of a basket that I've never liked, put the few items in places that make sense, and popped the tatty old basket in the bin. Now I'm finishing the video, with a cup of tea, looking over at the tv stand with a calm and cozy feeling. Thanks again!

[@himeprincessa]

I have also been a maximalist but your tips make so much sense I want to try to implement a few into my room!

[@itsjool]

Hey Margaret! Loved your videos, I think the print should stay next to the chair, love the combo colors

[@abbyt3240]

I love your videos like this! So easy to implement all of this advice.

[@trtlduv07]

So agree about keeping phone out of room- the mental clutter. It's so much better to be detached from it!

[@KingSolrac]

so calming, thanks.. great video

[@messymomma94]

You are absolutely GLOWING btw! ❤

[@emilykochco]

I 10000% agree on the TV !

[@maddyrichards7881]

I’m praying for your baby and that you have a healthy rest of your pregnancy and birth ❤️ you will always be one of my favourite KZbinrs because you are so real & you always inspire me to start decluttering especially for others. I want to make a business! ❤️

[@dorothyguyton4657]

Love your channel! Thank you for all you share with us! Can you please tell me where you got your desk/vanity table? Thank you and best of luck with your pregnancy, labor & delivery♥️

[@thedupontnest]

Yessss yes we have no TVs in our main living areas or bedroom! Only in our basement family room, which we only use maybe a dozen times a year. We watch things on devices more often than that, but it’s not constantly in front of us as an option. Life is too short ❤️

[@SunshineBloom777]

So encouraging 🌿🌷

[@anniedoke]

your hair looks amazing!! pregnancy looks good on you haha. you’re glowing

[@kra13]

This was really nice to watch. Thank you for sharing your experience. I would hang the beautiful print to the left of your chair, covering two of the outlets. :)

[@josieweatherhead4269]

Margaret I just have to say that you are doing the Lord’s work and I appreciate your videos more than I can say. I feel like everything you say and how you think is exactly the woman I am trying to become more like and grow into, and so it’s wonderful to have someone to look up to and to take advice from! Thank you for all your hard work to get these videos out to us and know of my support and prayers!

[@vishakhaarya5523]

Finally i got my mentor❤

[@KatyeBresney-uw8eq]

Hi Margaret! Can you let us know about your bedding, specifically the duvet and pilllw inserts. Looks so fluffy!

[@natalialenchuk1759]

Hi, nice to 'meet' you) I've been with you for quite some time now, but only now I just felt I need to thank you for the serenity you add to my days - whenever I watch your videos. I wish you a light and happy pregnancy (the rest of it is always the hardest to wait, isn't it?) and a healthy and easy delivery) And just a quick note about what I saw - do you have two alarm clocks? and different lamps at your bedside tables, right? it looks unusual (you know, this idea that everything should be a pair etc etc) but so organic and nice) Good luck and waiting for your next videos!

[@Morganwarne]

Hi Margaret, I really enjoy your videos and the products you recommend! I was wondering if you had any good recommendations for clothing companies that have more non toxic options?

[@debdobransky1246]

I vote for the print over the chair :)

[@bethw3573]

Hi Margaret, I'm due with my second baby right around the same time you're due! We are in a two bedroom apartment so we'll be sharing a room with baby until they sleep through the night. What would you recommend for storing baby stuff?? I want to keep my bedroom minimal but I don't quite know how to keep my bedroom free of excess with a newborn. Thanks! 😊

[@fabyanaames82]

living in Alaska my circadian rhythm is so messed up. sunset in the summer is around 12pm and sunrise is around 4-5am. and in the winter, sunrise is around 10am and sunset it around 3-4pm!

[@keeleyswitzer]

Margaret!! I love your haircut. You look beautiful!

[@lydiajoystuart4082]

I agree and believe in about 90% of what you said. But my situation is a little bit different to yours. The only place in the house that I life in that's totally mine is my bedroom. So any furinture or decorations can really only be in my bedroom. Likewise for storage. All in my bedroom. But most of these tips I'm planning on doing for sure.

[@missgreece91]

Red light therapy apparently helps for seasonal affective disorder too 😊

[@joannagolden901]

Source for those cute little clocks? Also greatly appreciate your channel. ❤

[@YuliyaKozhevnikov]

I would hang the art next to your chair - covering the wall plugs!

[@Skyuni98]

the last time i put anything under my bed, specifically under my mattress, was my graded test cause i didn't want my parents to find it (lol they found it anyway). that was a funny memory to me but yes, don't store anything under the bed. even when there's nothing under it, dust still goes under there

[@kittycoon9143]

The promo code for the Ela skincare website is saying the promotion has ended😕 was it only good for a certain time? Thanks for sharing!

Where did you get the cozy chair in your bedroom?

Where is the link to that little clock?

[@kimberlyrichter9504]

I am so sorry. I found your video with where your bedding came from. Thanks so much!!!

[@Laura-vo7fc]

Margaret how would I get touch with you about daily prayer and being closer to God, I just kinda Need to know where to start...

[@YuliyaKozhevnikov]

Any advice on how to get spouse to plug phone in bathroom? Hes very against it right now. haha

[@gracesheehan9]

This is random and specific, but what kind of bedside clock do you have? Does it tick? I’m on the hunt for one (so that I can keep my phone out of the room) but I have specific requirements haha!

[@gracesheehan9]

Also forgot to mention - this video was absolutely wonderful and I so appreciate the time you put into creating them!

[@jennyeskridge3656]

Could you clarify your non-use of LED lights? The bulb that you mentioned is an LED light in the description of it.

[@GM-ig8fd]

Please film a minimal what’s on your iPhone video!!! Love your videos 🤍🤍

[@kimberlyrichter9504]

Hi! I am new to your channel. I have asked in other videos what is your bedding and duvet cover? I was so hoping you would mention it in this video. Could you please tell me what your bedding and duvet cover is? I am looking for new bedding and duvet cover and I really like the way your's looks. Thanks!!!
