Kitchen Declutter : Minimalist Family Life : Declutter With Me

[@lynnhall864]

Bayley you are my favourite content creator. Can’t get enough. There’s something about how you lead your life that really appeals to me. All the best from Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

😊❤️

[@laurawood4476]

Oh my , your sweater looks so wonderful on you . Cant imagine how pleased you must be with it . Ditch the chipped plates , so enjoy your videos .

[@Susan-qg9tm]

I throw chipped plates out unless they're the right size to be used underneath plants. I think they're supposed to be unhygienic once they're chipped. I hate throwing things out too, but sometimes you just need to. You're already doing more than your fair share in minimising waste by not buying into the consumer culture, so don't feel bad for throwing them out.

[@suzanneroelofse5970]

Totally agree. The unglazed ceramic where the chip is, is porous and therefore great for bacteria to grow. It's the one time to pick being "wasteful". I figure if the plate was completely cracked, you would've thrown it away pretty easily because it doesn't work correctly any more. This is almost the same thing. ❤

[@karimcnair9890]

I love seeing you wear your hand-knit items. And, I agree, it's such a nice feeling knowing you knit something you can wear. And I really enjoy your decluttering videos. It just shows that even minimalists have things they don't use anymore. It's normal. As our lives change, our needs change.

[@randabakmane7818]

I am so happy that you are posting again! You are definitely my favorite content creator!

[@bluerubydoo6080]

What a lovely treat to wake up to, a decluttering video, my favourite kind! Thank you 😊

[@VBotha1]

You look great in your handmade sweater. I completely understand the joy that wearing it brings! x

[@thereversepolarbear]

I really like hearing your rationale for decluttering each item and by the end I guess there was a fair amount of stuff, which just goes to show how easy it is to live with things you don't need and how much more efficient and clear life is once you figure that out. awesome xxx

[@susanfrick8016]

Hi Bayley! I have found that older, chipped or scratched plates and saucers come in handy to place plants on to catch any drainage after watering. Hard to imagine you would’ve had anything to declutter as you keep such a tidy, minimal home. Have a great week ahead! 😊

[@user-ij9uk8tn8i]

That's what I do too! Another "gardening" use for chipped or broken crockery is to smash it up, and put it at the bottom of plantpots to add drainage - especially for succulents.

[@andreagorham1985]

Thank you for a decluttering video! Encouragement 😊

[@A107S]

I come here to be inspired for my own home. Thank you for what you do.

[@katiecostello71]

Love seeing your thought process! You are a spot of joy in the world!

[@Mieke256]

Your sweater is beautiful! I love the little speckles of color. I’m working in flylady zone 2 the kitchen this week, so it’s perfect timing! I have a hard time decluttering mugs, because many are sentimental or just are really comfortable to drink from.

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

I don't have that many mugs, but too many for one person who never has more than 3 guests! I've a giant one for tea, a couple of small ones for coffee, some largish ones for warm drinks, and a lovely mug and saucer set for 4. I also have a smaller mug for tea, in case I don't have time to drink a bucket. I suppose it could go...

[@nicoletait5702]

Happy to see you back!

[@maureeneberhard9068]

The jersey looks great, well done! If you don’t have a plant that needs the plate underneath it, throw the chipped plate out. We can’t save everything from the landfill and by living such a beautiful minimalist life you are already doing enough xxx

[@homemakingheaven]

Great video!!! ❤ Thanks for giving me the push this morning to start decluttering 😊Also I’m so excited but Sam’s here in the US sells TimTams, they are amazing!!! I hope you all are well, I think we are like 16 hours apart, so it maybe night time for you! Enjoying all of your videos!! Oh and can’t forget, the sweater is AMAZING, looks so great on you!!! 😊😊❤

[@michellestmarentette.antoi5904]

My grandpa used to sand down my Grans chipped ceramic and baked ware when he could. If it gets too deep it helps to seal with a dish safe “ glue”. ( from Southernest Ontario 🇨🇦 ).

[@itsjustmel1217]

Your sweater is so pretty! ❤😍

[@user-ij9uk8tn8i]

It's sooooo nice seeing you wear a jumper you made yourself! It looks great. :) x

[@gregsgirl23au]

You inspired me today. I had an hour free after I'd finished the housework so I made good use of that time. I have a large garbage bag of Clothes I no longer wear going to someone in need to the op shop ..such a great feeling 😊

[@bayleymadeit]

That’s great! You really feel lighter when you Declutter items you don’t need anymore. 😊

[@gregsgirl23au]

Yes definitely and no I have more space and air around my clothes and I can enjoy the clothes I do have and want to wear 😊

[@friederike9602]

Thank you so much for a new Video! I keep my chipped plates and just use them. The Kids have never hurt themselves. ( May depend on Material??) my Mom hates it 😂 she always offers to buy me new plates. I just dont mind. 😂 Greetings from germany

[@jessicabattle1863]

If you’re able to make it to a recycling centre I know they usually have a bin for things like crockery and china? Also love your sweater! It looks so cosy!

[@lorettagoldyn5918]

So happy when I see you and your videos. Take care . God bless you and your family. Love from Indiana US

[@reginaquinones4190]

Your sweater is beautiful!

[@Niailis]

Off topic, but your hair is looking amazing Bayley :)

[@jeanmarie2928]

You are lovely in your beautifully made sweater! Will do a kitchen cabinet declutter this week as I also deep clean them. It has been awhile :) I divide the cupboards into sections and do one or two a day. As you show so clearly, being minimal makes it easier. Thanks for inspiration 💕

[@ANNtique]

I’m currently mid full house declutter and it feels so good!

[@minkica6184]

I love decluttering and I do it at least 2 times a year. Such videos motivate me to go around my house and declutter. I don't really keep any chipped or broken dishes (or anything else that's broken). I hardly buy anything at all so I think it's ok to replace broken items (that I need and use often) and not feel bad about it. Thanks for the video and hope to see you soon in a new one💜

[@sheilafelix113]

I love the sweater! I wanted to tell you that you can buy a "blind corner" pull out shelf for corner cupboards. It would allow you to pull the shelf out to get to the items in the back without removing everything.

[@jode378]

I always enjoy your energy, Bayley!

[@happypace9414]

Love the sweater! We're coming off of winter, and I have enjoyed wearing a sweater over a dress which makes it look like a skirt. I find dresses more comfortable and warmer than skirts. My kitchen is due for a declutter soon, so thanks for the motivation! I am surprised at how clean your glasses and dishes seem on the opening shelving. I don't think I could handle that kind of responsibility. 🤭😆 Oh, and I love the word boot which we call a trunk. I have an SUV so we just call it the "wayback" because it isn't a trunk at all.

[@maribethwhiting7114]

I love your sweater!! I'd love to learn to knit ! One of these days I'll bite the bullet and try it lol

[@Studilotti]

Aaah! Clicked on the Video and thought: She is wearing one of the sweaters! Suits you so well!

[@bayleymadeit]

😊❤️

[@marylynsheldon8389]

Your sweater really suits you Bayley such an accomplishment well done x

[@itsjustmel1217]

Lol, love the little Ghosts...

[@WildKraftyAotearoa]

That was fantastic! Yes indeed, you always inspire me to declutter, even if I just have. My daughter in-law bought us some 4 of the pussycat cups but we are down to three, saddies. You are defo one of my favourite channels!!!!!!!! 🌺🌺🌺

[@allisonc9645]

The color of that sweater is so pretty. It looks good on you.

[@bayleymadeit]

Thank you! 😊

[@moedersminimalisme5181]

Well thank you, you made me declutter my kitchen too 😂😂 of course I loved this video!! Looking forward to the next one!!

[@janet8598]

Your sweater looks wonderful!

[@sarahjones9913]

I love when your videos pop up! Love your new sweater! Well done! Could you do what you eat in a day at some point? 😄

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

That sweater looks beautiful. We keep using chipped plates because we're a large family and I feel like we'd always be buying plates otherwise. Chipped cups we find another use for if they're cute or toss if not, we don't like it near our mouths. We use a "special " dinner set as our everyday set , it brings me so much happiness that it's used and not gathering dust in a glass cabinet but pieces are expensive to replace. I keep broken ones for a mosaic top table for my garden , which for 1 helps me feel better if any get broken and 2 ,don't go to landfill. I've just decluttered my clothes and I'm still shocked how much was hiding in my single door wardrobe. Haha. Very much needed. Time for me to redo the whole house. Thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤

[@JodyLifeofAMom]

Love your videos thank you for taking us along in your declutter. ❤

[@TheMennomilist]

I have a few chipped things too and hope to do the one in one out thing eventually. . .but some of them still function okay and aren't so bad.

[@jowatson2607]

Your sweater looks lovely! We are quite minimalist but I think I could do with a declutter sweep through the house. I’m afraid I bin chipped crockery I think the chip can harbour bacteria x

[@OGGgirl]

Kia ora! Absolutely beautiful sweater! You should be very proud -

[@inspiringsimple]

I did a big declutter recently. Dug deep in my quilting stuff and realised that I was being ridiculous and too frugal keeping old sheets etc 😂. some friends have given us A LOT of hand me downs and I went through the items and took a few and passed on the rest. I have also had to do (get) some upgrades for sizes of things like containers etc and have had some containers break after about 10 years of daily use. It felt SO good to get rid of it all after a month of collecting it in my laundry it was driving me crazy. I was spending a few moments daydreaming of only having 2 children to help to declutter their one room whilst I watched your video. Lastly……your jumper!!!! I think it is so so beautiful and well made!!! Bravo! ✨

[@christineb2797]

Bailey!!!!! Your sweater is perfect !!!!

[@jayathome2898]

lovely sweater! Pattern name? Chipped plates can harbour bacteria. They’re good under plants or outside under potted plants

[@Katy_living_simply]

Love this video as always!!❤

[@MesquiteHillHomestead]

I toss chipped plates. I get nervous the pieces will get into our food, or my kids will cut their fingers. If you have the time (and energy) you could use it to make a little mosaic. I bought a kit once a while ago and my kids and I made little mosaic stone with some broken drink glasses.

[@michellescerri6501]

Really looking forward for the decluttering of your boys room as I also have 2 boys and need some inspiration😊

[@sarahvandekendelaere8761]

Hey Bayley :) I throw out chipped plates. Not worth keeping them around as indeed, they may have sharp edges (and I get paranoid eating off them, thinking I might swallow part of the plate). I'd say, when they are chipped they are either very well used, or they weren't good quality to begin with. Either way, time to replace :) PS: Love Love LOVE the sweater! I am a knitter myself, so I understand the feeling of being so proud but also so afraid to wear ypir handmade pieces 💗

[@sunshining_inthe_hebrides4030]

I smash chipped plates etc and use them for drainage at the bottom of pots .. or just throw them up as I hate chipped plates

[@bunnobear]

Great idea, I was using rocks

[@julissabackus3560]

I have a hard time getting rid of clutter-how do you do it

[@bunnobear]

I throw chipped crockery and glasses, annoys me when the second hand sells things full priced that are chipped. You may find some new plates and bowls at the second hand shop

[@fernandadeassis9882]

Yay ❤

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Chipped plates can harbour bacteria. I'd be repurposing it. If Mike has a dremel, he could sand the chip smooth.

[@ruthsandersasmallfishingvi2889]

❤😊

[@lindasg99]

❤

[@avbeasley]

I put my chipped plates under plants instead of a plastic drip tray.

[@star_fossil]

I keep chipped bowls, the kids have no problem handling them.

[@jamie-leewatson3565]

I just keep using my chipped plates.

[@Bookworm_Bron]

My mum told me chips in plates can harbour bacteria so we have always thrown them away. 🫤
