Couldn't agree more with successfully "finishing one spot motivates one to do more!". I've gone through my house and got rid of any extra decor pillow inserts. I had some pillows that were not made with covers but my dry cleaners has alteration services and they've agreed to put in zippers making them into covers. They kept the stuffing and I got those covers now. No more pillow storage! Enjoyed the video very much! Thank you for sharing your ideas!

Welcome to America when organizers are most expensive than the things you need to organize!! A few years ago when all this fever about organizing and the Mary Kondo method showed up I decided to tackle the issue until I realize that it was cheaper just to get rid of most of my possessions leaving just what it's really necessary and voila!! Lots and lots of space, closets organized, less drawers and furniture, less pantries, freezers, pots pans and kitchen gadgets, refrigerators, less "decoration and accessories" you name it. I love my house now, clean efficient, organized, minimalist. I really enjoy it. For instance: Do this woman really need to have all those pillows?? All my friends have an average of 30 pairs of socks, 30- 60 panties, 20 jeans, 20 sweaters, 5-7 winter jackets, 40-60 T-shirts, 60 pair of shoes.... lots and lots of sheets, make up, etc. My 5 cents here: Have less and be happier!
@cindy844 Жыл бұрын
I think many of us just keep getting new things without getting rid of old things. Our stuff accumulates gradually without us realizing it, until suddenly we're overwhelmed. I've been decluttering recently. With every full trash bag that leaves my home, I feel a little more peace.
