8 Ways to Rethink Storage And Transform Your Relationship with Your Stuff

[@PenniestoDollars]

I've been storing things for my kids forever. Thanks for pointing that out. One kid said, "I'm the only one with no stuff there...." and I said it's in the cabin. She had forgotten. So true.

Hi Elin. So happy to see your subscriber numbers edging up, month by month. Soon you will hit 100,000. Well done you! Your videos are lovely and your output is so consistent which cannot have been easy at times with the health problems you've experienced. Keep going, girl: you're doing great!

[@francoiselafferty-hancock5112]

I really like your comments about storage being a transitory place and not a permanent home. A bit of a wake up call for me!

[@majesea]

Love number three - having a practice of regularly reviewing storage is brilliant!

[@renee6524]

Biggest storage battle for me is holiday decor. Been a few years since putting any up and really considering donating.

[@sarahfrancescutti9873]

Reframe our storage as a place for things to flow in and out, super helpful ❤

[@cantocant2346]

I love seeing your home. It is what I aspire to.

2 or more times a year I start and clean closets from the inside. when tidying up, i often switch places and reorganize my storage space. usually less goes back into the closet than came out. in the meantime, for example, there are 2 empty cupboards in my kitchen and i removed one and put my washing machine in its place. That saves me time because I don't have to go down to the basement every time to do the laundry. only downside: my husband often can't find things and has to ask me where it is..... 😅

[@Shiryone]

Storage can become the place where things go to be forgotten.

[@SuperClare]

It is a little dirty secret! You’ve inspired me to purge and rethink my “stuff”. Thank you! ❤

[@ashleygonzalez32171]

Downsizing to a much smaller home and a new state where attics are not common or very small and no basements has really simplified my life.

[@hbrws813]

I love the closing comment about using our storage space to improve our quality of life. My storage areas have been neglected and have become those "black holes" that create stress. I have spent the last several weeks purging my home of extras, clutter, rarely used things, and especially of sentimental things that no longer connect me with my parents and family. Your videos have inspired and encouraged me to git r done.

[@charminlindholm7779]

I inventory and take a picture of what is in the storage bin.

[@lorireeve2322]

At 4:56, you look absolutely adorable in your hat. It made me grin, so I thought that I should tell you. I'm a hat girl, especially now that we live in Australia and I've had a few skin scares. My favourite hat is my Linen Tilley hat from Canada. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas on minimalism and decluttering the excess in our lives. I also really appreciate how you share your health issues so vulnerably and how you work around them to keep your home and life based on what is essential and important to you.

[@kristahayenga7199]

I love your cute house and your decluttering tips! Thank you!

[@kims914]

Hi I loved this video so much. It really hit home as I have been trying to declutter things I never ever touch. I appreciate all the work you do to make these videos for our benefit. I also enjoyed seeing your home. It is beautiful. Please know there are so many that love your content, and appreciate you.

[@amandaclarke1373]

Hi Elin. Your hair looks really pretty today and you look so fresh faced 😊 Hope you're doing well. Amanda x

[@ruthemck8512]

Really practical tips thank you. Labelling is a good one & yes a well lit & clean, even easily accessed storage area is important. We have (my husband & I) in the last year expanded the flooring in our attic (UK) and extended the lighting. This has all made a massive difference. Capitalising on the space. Thank you for the content, I am binge watching as I have only recently discovered your chanel. Liking your chanel. ❤ Well done. May the Lord Bless. x

[@isadorasmiles9339]

Love the advice. I also find that sometimes just adding additional storage design elements like nice stew in hooks, change up the shelving so it’s more functional can also make all the difference along with decluttering. Food pantries are also intimidating and I struggle with that

[@sarahthatcher123]

This was a very interesting video. Not too many have addressed this topic/ area before. I never realized how true it is that it really is quite a ‘shameful’ / taboo kind of topic/ area. I’m glad you opened up this ‘conversation’ and addressed this head on.

[@Jasmine-vy8ig]

I don't keep anything in storage. I have only one container for Christmas decorations. I gave up all nick nocks and furniture. I keep years everything now easy to clean my home and I have time for myself, more than before.❤

[@teresemarkl8877]

Thank you I found this to be very helpful. There is one thought about storing things for other people. Some times you need to say no to storing things for others. I did this because I am working on decluttering items from my home and items from an estate.

[@Lucy-ff2et]

I don't know how I missed this video, but so glad to see it. Thank you very much. I'm in the process of A Big Clearing and your thoughts on storage are so helpful right now. I have a few small storage areas that I don't feel are being used very efficiently so this have been inspiring!

[@Hope-ew3ik]

Enjoying your video. I think the best tip is keeping an easily accessible small storage area.

[@kariffe5844]

I grab my broken laundry basket for donations and a trash bag when I declutter 😊 When I'm on the fence, I place it in a box with "today's date". It keeps me aware of unused items and let it go 🥰

[@lithopheliax61x5]

Wow, I never associated storage with shame - perhaps it is a cultural thing? I think many people in my country think it is very normal to store things away for future use, maybe even in the next generation (e.g. I received many childrens' clothes and toys from family members and things have been in the family for generations and get used again and again - although of course with some 'non-usage times' in between...

[@estheronajourneytocontentm1097]

Inspiring. Thanks for your refreshing honest take on storage.

[@kennethbailey9853]

Oh Yes that has been a Journey. After many Declutters Im Honestly Simplified. 😅

[@kristin7762]

Love this! 😊

[@cantocant2346]

Great video!

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thank you. Love your advice ❤️

[@EveryPeachInReach]

Haha, I clicked this video thinking it would be about storage solutions like for organizing. I desperately need help in that dept.. we're renovating our house, which is plenty big, but have zero closets and hardly anywhere to put things. I mean regular things like books and bathroom supplies.

[@mtnshelby7059]

Gonna have to incorporate storage into your furniture selections.

[@nmarzuke]

Very well expressed and totally agree on how to use storage to our benefit. Are you willing to share where your tall dresser is from? I’m currently looking for one to store my out of season sweaters & chunky knits. Thanks a bunch. 🥰

[@maryd253]

Thanks!

[@pinayinuk]

Thank u

[@lolmakeup5786]

I love your hair. What do you ask for when you get a haircut

[@karenkouns577]

So sorry, storage is a problem for you. I have both an attic and a storage room in my basement. Without labeling, I know exactly what is there and when needed, it is retrieved in good condition and used. One such item was a bed spread that had been in storage for almost 40 years. I also use the storage space to collect items to be sold at the next yard sale. Easy to bring down price and sale. Hope you find peace with your storage space. My heart aches for you.

[@goosegirlsmedia4459]

I tried to watch as I was really interested in what you had to say about storage but you took so long to get to the point I lost interest.

[@jennyjenkins877]

The video was under 11 minutes with an intro, 8 different points (which she would state first before further explanation), and an outro. I think she did a great job of keeping it succinct!

[@juliestephens7740]

Wow. You must have a short attention span cause I think she always does a great job with her videos. Always very informative

[@ros8986]

I wish for less b-roll - I like jsut listending and watching you instead of seeing pictures that don't really add to my understanding.

[@jennyjenkins877]

I quite enjoyed that aspect and understood all the choices that were made.

[@juliestephens7740]

I like the video and seeing her house. If you don’t like watching then just don’t watch it, only listen. Close your phone and the audio will still play

[@ritathainey-clement8222]

Are you going to actually DO anything - or just blah, blah, blah? 💤

[@ilsefierro6771]

Damn Rita. What are you doing other than typing this dumb ass comment?

[@jeffslavick9417]

🤍😅You’ve inspired me to go through our storage unit! And possibly my parents garage.
