You were on a roll today! Time for me to get real about my serving dishes, how much entertaining am I really going to do?

[@lisabird7093]

I keep my footwear in my kitchen cupboard and with the definite change in the seasons I've sorted through sandals, shoes and boots.

[@Barryalejandro_288]

Hello 👋🏻

[@Carolyn-s6s]

Diane you never cease to amaze me that after all this time you still find items to declutter. I managed to declutter several plates, a bowl and a mug, also a dress never worn and a pair of sneakers badly worn. I still have to go through serving dishes. I keep them in case we have company but over the years the family and friends are either no longer with us or have moved away. Also, I find it takes too much effort preparing for company but I guess I keep the dishes for my "fantasy life".

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, we are just moving forward all the time!

[@ashandu]

Diane, you are the best motivator! ❤ Happy Monday!

[@lolaspaniola]

Thank you Dianne. This is great inspiration 🎉

Glad it was helpful!

[@lisametcalfe640]

I loved your comment about Erika! A friend once let me know that they had decided not to keep a plant pot i gifted them. I said, 'i bought it because i liked it so id be happy if you gifted it back to me' and she did! We were both satisfied!

[@lorainkyusa]

Using a pot as a mixing bowl is such a great idea! Thanks for the top tip. x

[@DianeinDenmark]

You are so welcome, Mandy - I got the idea a few years back when we were at our summerhouse in Sweden and I only had a small bowl, ha ha!

[@gilliandavies9376]

Good morning Diane, thanks again for your inspiration!! I've been through my kitchen cupboards, well, 1 more to go today once my errands are run. Looking at your video, I laugh as we have very similar items! I sent electrical items like the waffle maker and toasted sandwich maker etc etc to one of our many charity shops in town & they were very grateful. And, wow, the empty basket 🧺 too!! This week is my bathroom and laundry room, but just a sort out & 15 min cleans in those, as I tend to keep stocks of cleaning items which will be used as time goes on. Some soaps were from Mums, but still good enough to use and I think fondly of Mum when I use them, and say a little thank you to her, as I know she'd be pleased I got some use out of them and they didn't go to waste. Right, onwards and forwards, hope everyone has a great week, the weather is picking up a bit so I'd better go do the lol!! Bye for now!! 😊

Thanks Diane 😊 xxx

[@suzanne-moore]

Rah rah rah! Great reminder about the resting place for your decluttered items. DH has lost a lot of weight recently and he declutter a lot of expensive nice work clothes that was in perfect shape. I was trying desperately to find someone we knew to take them or possibly sell them - we never sold our items before tho so I was checking my options but DH took them straight to the charity shop the next day after he decluttered and I was feeling a bit sad but - you are right. It doesn’t matter. ❤ can’t wait for the summit 🥳

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, Suzanne's hubby!

Thank you Diane your videos are a blessing..because of you i now only have 5 frying pans.i used to have 14😮.my obsession😅. Theres only 3 of us in the house.

[@maryrose7842]

I like to have a selection of different pans depending upon what I am cooking 😊

[@eileencarroll6418]

BRILLIANT! You always inspire me. And now I am starting to also feel affirmed for the decluttering I have already done. Today I am feeling very proud that I only have two sets of dishes: One set is only for outside. The other set is Mom's good China; and I am very proud to see some of the silver decoration wearing off and I have earned my first chip. Woo-hoo! It feels great. Thanks for getting me here. This week I am decluttering boots and shoes. I recently bought a more comfortable pair of winter boots with more room for warmer socks. That will be replacing several previous attempts at almost comfortable boots. No more self torture for me. 🥳❤️ Also decluttering summer shoes that did not get worn and anything else that is not 100% comfortable. Tip for moving things along. If I think someone else might be interested in something, I text a picture to them, saying when items are being dropped at the charity shop but I will set aside and deliver items to them. That way they know how soon they need to respond. This helps me keep things moving out the door. I also have better success if I immediately put things in my car so that I can empty the car next time I am near a charity shop. Good luck on your presentation, Diane. You are always entertaining and encouraging. ❤️ RAH, RAH, RAH!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, Eileen and a big rah, rah, rah!

[@DianeSherman-w6q]

Found you again Diane! I had watched you years ago and lost you in the confusion of life. I’m 67 and we have a small condo that we have been in for 3 years after owing a large home. The clutter is back😂. You have inspired me this week and I’ve been cleaning like a crazy bunny. I love your accent. Brings back memories of my Grandfather’s brogue. My Mom was born in Glasgow in 1920. She came as a little girl and later married an Italian. That’s a combo! Thank you for your inspiration! I enjoy watching you declutter as you prepare for your downsizing. Diane From : New England

[@DianeinDenmark]

Welcome back, I am always here when you need me!

[@dianeh1408]

Good luck tomorrow Diane - hopefully after your session you will hit your KZbin goal. Today I’ve decluttered two drawers in the kitchen.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thanks, Diane! 👋😍

[@marciakistner8977]

Whoo-hoo, you are an inspiration for decluttering.

[@lisbetsoda4874]

One use i have made of small bowls is to fill them with cookies, nuts, candies, soaps or such, then wrap in clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon. They are perfect little gifts.

[@Karen-pe6oc]

Your enthusiasm is palpable! 🤩

[@kimberlyfake9127]

I have a set of matching tea cups and saucers that I have had since 1996? I have never used them but I keep holding onto them “in case” of company so I can serve coffee or tea in nice cups. Well, when company asks for coffee, I just pull out any one of our mismatched mugs that we use on a daily basis. It’s time I let go of the things taking up space in my cupboards that I never use.

[@LilyLightOne]

I have my load of laundry going (I really don't do one every day, we just don't need to!) and my Roomba just finished vacuuming the bedroom. I did want to say that you always look so elegant ❤ I'm in a t-shirt phase of life but really need a few nice tops. I just decluttered all the ones I had been hanging on to because they actually don't suit me (wrong neckline etc). Thank you for all your inspiration, I'm looking forward to your GOHQ presentation. Mange tak, farvel!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Love it, you are on a roll! See you tomorrow!

[@rhondaschrank9147]

I like the way you tackle this task. Take a bit at a time, but be decisive and honest about how often the item is used. Thank you Diane!

Thank you, Diane!❤❤❤ I just returned from an appointment, so I watched as I enjoyed my coffee. During our last bout of illness, I decided I no longer need to keep mugs and dishes that don’t go in the dishwasher, so those are gone. After a rest, I’ll check out my clothes closet, to see what can go! Thanks for the inspiration!❤❤❤

Hi Diane. You have beautiful dishes in your cabinet in the dining room. Why don’t you put half of them in your kitchen, to replace the blues and whites that you kept, and use them everyday? About 10 years ago I decided to use my best dishes, nicest cutlery, and crystal glasses on a daily basis. They bring me joy, and it seemed a shame to have been using them on special occasions only. Everyday should be a special occasion!

I’ve never had a dishwasher until this year and I have discovered dishwashers ruin vintage cookware. Quite a bit of my kitchenware was hand me downs from my childhood (70s) - the dishwasher has dulled plastic and removed markings from measuring jugs. Such a pity because the old stuff is so sturdy compared to modern kitchenware.

[@jackiebowen6239]

Decluttering in the kitchen along with you, Diane 🙂 I like working in the same area as you! There is almost nothing to declutter there, but it is still good to go through and be sure; sure enough, I did find just a few more items to get out of there--yay! I always get a thrill to let go of something else. Thanks for keeping us on track, Diane. I look forward to seeing you at the HQ summit tomorrow 💙

A good tip that I heard once re. serving pieces. Don't say to yourself, could I use it? Say, if I didn't have this, what would I use instead? And often a substitute will immediately pop into your head, and you can let go of the duplicate item with confidence.

[@juliekonigskind6434]

Dear Diane, I worked along side you in the kitchen and was able to get so much done. Our kitchen is already really minimal, but somehow a few things crept back in. Also, I have one basket with extra dishes in the basement for when we have guests, which I was able to “restock” as some plates and bowls had wandered into the kitchen. Full success! Enjoy the get organised and your session - I’m excited for it.

You have inspired me to look more closely at what dishes I have and see what can go. It’s a great idea 😊. I gave away one of those old fashioned scales too. It took up so much space.. I am keeping my big mason bowl as I bake bread etc regularly and prefer it to a saucepan. I have some serving dishes that are rarely used but if I was hosting a meal they would be useful. I’m putting them in a top press out of the way.
