D.O.C (Declutter, Organize, Clean) - Episode 25

[@miacharlesworth]

I always wonder what Sophia sees in the mirror when she looks at herself. I wonder if she’s critical of her looks or if she frets about her appearance. When I look at her I see sunbeams shining out of her face. I’m not being facetious. I feel like I can honestly see the kindness just pouring out of her and how lucky the people are in her life. To experience her kindness in real life must be like basking in sunshine. I hope my kids think I’m kind too. I guess what I’m trying to say is that you motivate me to be a kinder version of myself.

[@mygreatchallenge]

How nice! Sometimes it's true.

[@ABCD-si7px]

Very true!

[@zeldapepa3992]

When my Mother died, it was decided that I would have her Blue Willow dinner set. Problem was she lived in Australia and I lived in New Zealand. Every trip my sister (in Australia) and I made between the countries included as much of the dinnerset as we would manage to fit in our luggage! Several years later I was in possession of the entire set. Lol. The only piece I broke was the sugar bowl, much to my distress. The set was in display on a hutch until I had to shift and couldn't bring the hutch with me. I decided I would use the set as my everyday china. Funnily enough, not a single dish has got broken since then! I feel honoured to have it.

[@marieke4727]

Everytime you upload a video I get a homely feeling. You are such a warm person, so honest and real. Love the video and music, thank you

[@joseechartrand]

So so beautiful ! J’ai vraiment apprécié cette vidéo, même trois ans plus tard ! Merci ❤️

[@MelindaLee]

Happy Mother's Day Sophia! I never could get bored of you talking about your beautiful things. The Asian items on the lower shelf is gorgeous! I love them. And to think it took so many years to get those pieces, simply wonderful...no wonder you were happy you had to do this task, it's almost like a little gift, I love that.

[@meganverne]

this was such a lovely relaxing video! i watched it while eating my dinner alone and it was such a nice time with the calm music and you telling the stories of every piece. Thankyou!

[@melissahoneybee8493]

Thank you Sophia. This was such a calming video to watch at the end of a long day. It was so refreshing to relax into something “normal” in these extraordinary times. I, like many others, love listening to you “chatter” about your life and home. Thank you for letting us into your life. I’m very grateful.

[@cherylynn927]

That cabinet is gorgeous and so are the items. Thanks for sharing. My favorite is the wedding basket.

[@christineshultz7615]

I wanted to share that the other day i cleaned up my pump organ and thought of you. It has so many nooks and crannies and therefore I do not often deep clean it. It took 3 hours with dusting, relocating and reorganizing the items on the organ. But how much joy I felt doing it. I got this pump organ from my grandmother's house with whom I share a name and a birthday. Happy mother's day.

[@susannels4884]

Those are the most unique, beautiful flute glasses. Also love the Tea House pieces. Your joy was evident in this video

[@simoneb.1179]

This was so relaxing to watch. I can see how much happiness this brought you and that was a joy. Everything looked great. Happy belated Mother's Day.

[@nonna1048]

I love your chattering....my favorite piece is the Waterford Crystal Vase...I can see how happy you are when you talk about everything in the Curio cabinet.....I also love china and crystal... I have two daughters but they don't share my love for it, so when I see you get excited it warms my heart. Thank you for sharing this. Linda

[@AZHITW]

I would stare at that cabinet and its contents for hours. 🥰 Favorite piece is the wedding basket, it's BEAUTIFUL!

[@MarieB869]

You could be fixing a hole in the wall and I will watch you until you finish. Been watching since possibly more than 5 years.

[@marydrummond5451]

maria B. I also love watching her do anything ...

[@whatsmamacookin4us]

maria B. I feel the same way!!!

[@leilanimccloskey3463]

I could watch her watch paint dry as long as she was chatting! Love the channel!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you ladies!

[@keishabell7820]

Leilani McCloskey yes!!

[@rivermist80]

Thanks for the tour. I love looking at antiques and hearing family stories. My most treasured piece is a shot glass in that old merlot colored glass from the 1910 Cincinnati Fair with my grandmothers name written on it. I need to revamp and declutter my curios too and get some of those treasured items displayed. My Mom had a nice collection of porcelain dogs that I also want to put on a shelf.

[@bonniejordan3441]

I was so happy to see a longer video and a chit chat 💕💕 I love your hair style, looks so nice on you.

[@linda2514]

I throughly enjoyed going through this video with you. I feel the same way about this type of cleaning and reorganizing, it’s not work, I enjoy it. The music was relaxing and I just sat back with a warm cup of tea like I was visiting a friend. My favorite is the blue Wedding Basket and the large pink Fenton vase on the bottom shelf.

[@robincooper9415]

The ancestors from both families are lucky that someone who so loves the history and beauty behind each object, has taken ownership and assumed care of these beloved pieces. And one day one of your descendants will tell the story of your own personal favorites. What a wonderful history and family oriented, beautiful china cabinet you have created to pass onto your family. I love that kind of history.

[@mygreatchallenge]

I am the designated keeper of heirloom. Gonna need two more curios!

[@irenek2k20]

Mom & I enjoyed this - the beautiful crystal & the history & love you have for all the items. We loved the bridal wedding basket & pink fluted vase. You are so happy talking about your collections & heirloom history. Thank you for sharing & telling us about the curio and how to put it together. My mother was a WW2 polish refugee so they didn't have much heirlooms during the war. We look forward to the next curio doc. Hopd you had good Mother's day with your family.

[@lilianaadamcewicz8320]

Thank you Sofia you have inspired me to tackle my curio cabinet! I love your beautiful Waterford flutes. I have inherited my Mum’s dinner set which she received as a wedding gift in 1954. It didn’t have a sugar bowl but after searching for over 5 years I found it on Etsy in England. Just like you my heart jumped and I was so excited to have found it. I just wish Mum was around to see it. Happy Mother’s Day!

[@kathyhegert4152]

Oh, Sophia, you have such beautiful treasures. The cream and gold china, the footed planter, the stem ware, the large vase, the Asian collection, and the wedding basket are my favorites. Thank you for telling us about each piece.

[@sassykassispages]

Absolutely when you talk about your China and collectibles!! Some of my favorite videos

[@Tinamar65]

Just beautiful! And yes of course I do remember little Jasper!🐦💙

[@helenknecht2407]

What a beautiful way to start my day! I collect and have a fondness for old china and crystal and am fortunate to have my mom’s 1950s dinner set my brother brought home from the Korean war. Watching you handle your treasures so lovingly with the soft pretty music in the background is a bonus! And the chimes from your clock add just the right amount of “hominess” to complete the experience. I will watch this one over and over when I feel stressed. Thank you and Happy Mother’s Day even though it is July when I am watching this.

[@Lauri4612]

I enjoy watching you clean your curio cabinets....you can really see how much the pieces mean to you. Love the wedding basket! Happy belated Mother’s Day

[@maryellenlibonati4901]

I love the vegetable bowl to the “teatime”set. Gorgeous! Happy Mother’s Day Sophia. God bless you never complain. I will now be watching for additional pieces to your tea time set for you. I loved this video. I’m very sentimental like you . It’s all a treasure. I only have a couple pieces of the Rose China my Mother gave me. I hope we can get to some garage sales. I hope you do more like this. I can’t believe someone tossed that vase! Gorgeous. I love the Nippon China. What’s wrong w people!! Good nite.

[@angelar5145]

You definitely look happier when you are working with your treasures! You make me super nervous moving them about, however! I cringe constantly as you move things around. LOL. I love your chatting so much. It makes me happy when you pronounce things in French. I would pay money to hear you read a children's book or two in French! My favorite piece is the wedding basket. I collect cobalt blue glass pieces (all kinds) and that one speaks to me! Hugs and kisses to you, Sophia! 💗

[@joycehaber626]

Half way through watching this video I was called into the kitchen. I glanced over to my dining room cabinet and started moving things around. It is now a display of per setting pieces rather than stacks of plates, bowls, etc. Thanks for the ideas and motivation. My favorite piece of yours is the Millennium pattern.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yes. Curios are for display. Not storage. A lot of people stack their China at the bottom but really that should be stored somewhere else. In the next video I ll talk about storing.

[@normataylor3124]

Loved hearing about your lovely family pieces and their stories. Each piece just sparkled and we could see the joy in your face. Glad u had a good mother's day hope u have a good safe week.

[@aryamdawna1199]

First of all you’re not ridiculous, everyone has sth that keep touching his/her heart no matter others opinions will be, and I’m one that can tell how you and your house are improving from one year to another, I love you as you was and as you now, and feel very happy when you do long videos and chitchat with us, yes chitchatting in my opinion is better than lots of music, because of many reasons one of them the listener will feel that you’re their friend/ family member or someone who cares, but the music we can hear it in anywhere, chitchatting let me feel that there’s someone who’s with me when I’m doing tasks or when I’m preparing for one.... you’re so nice to give us your precious time when you record or edit and share with us... I’m one of those subscribers who will enjoy whatever you do ..... and about helping kids to learn how to be good at anything not only in organizing “previous videos “ I’m totally with you... you such a great mom ... having happy Mother’s Day ..... please take care of yourself and your family.... stay safe, positive, active and happy 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@nancypeteja6560]

Oh Sophia, thank you for all the history of your pieces. I love all the sparkle. I love the China with the roses (they are my favorite ). I love the silver S&P. And I love to see you happy...I don't mind you doing what you love...your company is soothing to the soul. I hope your Mother's Day was wonderful! Take care & stay safe.😷 💖 👍 😉 🍷

[@karriegress5969]

Love watching you go through your curios. It's nice to see things that came from both your families.

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I love that first vase you showed us and how beautiful it reflected the light. I love cleaning crystal too as there’s something therapeutic about it and when it’s clean and shiny it’s just stunning. I also love that you take so much care for these antiques and how much their history means to you. They’re all so beautifully displayed in your cabinet.

[@lovinbonjovi]

Beautiful collection! I love the Old Country Roses because of the floral print, gold trim and vibrant colours 😊

[@qtluvBilly3]

"Cause I'm sick like that."😂 This was very calming and soothing to watch. I enjoy your personal stories as well.

[@Shewhiz99]

Love the chat! It's like I'm sitting in your dinning room (with my tea) without having to do any work! Happy Anniversary and Mother's day!

[@bigmissessparkles]

I've been watching you for to long to be bored by anything I started when I was pregnant with my daughter and now your voice soothes her so she likes watching with me at 2 years old and gives you air high fives when you do a big project it's super cute you do great work keep it up

[@katiebellejohnson2688]

my REAL big family 🙊 that is so sweet ❤️

[@chrysmidyette1463]

Thank you so much for sharing our china cabinet cleaning and the histories of your cherished china items. I enjoyed it so much.

[@lanegoodspeed5103]

Thank you Sophia! This was a joy to watch. You have such lovely pieces. I picked up a hint from a book written by a retired housekeeper who worked at Buckingham Palace. When dusting pieces such as your birds which have nooks and crannies use a one inch or more clean paint brush.I do it all the time and it works like a charm. I think my favorite piece is the Empire vase.It reminds me somewhat of Napoleon's Tomb. Go figure that one!!

[@juliechambers849]

I loved this video , I love the blue and silver wedding basket, I also love curio cabinets x

[@antoinettehaskie3584]

Oh wow 🤩 I like the way you arranged your treasured pieces.The items all stand out in the light and you can enjoy and see each individual piece. The eagle piece is my favorite with a close second is the plate collection with the roses n gold 👍❤️ Happy Moms Week to you lady 😊 enjoyed the relaxing time watching and seeing your beautiful display.

[@cookie-jl2ov]

I love all the sparkle of the waterford crystal but my absolute favorite pieces are the Limoges Haviland anniversary china. So gorgeous.

[@AnitaGOwens]

My favorite is definitely the wedding basket. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@matilda2]

Beautiful vases so stunning. Keep up the great work I admire your energy to be mummy worker and house keeper is not easy.

[@christinawhite9256]

Gorgeous! I understand why this is your favorite room, as I feel like cleaning my beautiful china and decorative items is like visiting old friends and family from many years ago. It simply brings me back with joy! Thank you so very much for sharing!💕

[@luella2897]

Lovely ! Yes, I think of "Jasper" everytime I see a Blue Jay at our feeder!!

[@tonithorson3399]

Luella R me too

[@judithtitterington3126]

Hi there from Judith in UK. You look really pretty today Sophia. Rather elegant. Glad to see you having fun playing with your toys. Love it. X

[@marilyncasas6679]

Hi Sofia! Love the longer video, i really enjoyed it. The curio turned out beautiful.

[@tinaproctor6208]

That is a beautiful curio cabinet. My favorite was the wedding basket. I love heirloom pieces.

[@poodlegirl55]

Your cabinet full of treasures is gorgeous. You have arranged everything so artfully with such love and thought. I loved watching this video.

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

Your wedding china are my favorite pieces. I have a hopefully helpful tip; take a cotton swab with some baby oil and oil the front of your shelves to make them really shine. My parents owned a glass shop for over 10 years and whenever they cut glass for shelves they always oiled them to make them sparkle.

[@DreamMom90]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Do you mean the sanded part of the glass shelf?

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

@@mygreatchallenge Yes. Just the front sanded edge.

[@SharonG-ip3ll]

@@DreamMom90 You are quite welcome.

[@audra2211]

Sophia! This is a beautiful video. I love all of the information you offer such as the background of the vase. I also love to clean and decorate my china cabinet and enjoy holding and cherishing my many family heirlooms.

[@magsieblignaut2203]

So beautiful.... thank you for sharing. Love the way you wear your hair today💗

[@kathleenhilde9657]

I loved hearing about all your pieces. So hard to chose. I love the wedding basket and Waterford vase.

[@brandybarnett9953]

I could see through watching, how much joy this sparks for you. Watching made my day.

[@janetdamboise6225]

Everything is so beautiful and the love and care that you put into everything is just delightful! The way you speak of each item and the music was so lovely in the background and not over bearing like some other videos people play! Since you're getting low on your sticky notes I'm getting anxious to what will be your next series. Take care and be safe, love you bunches!!! Janet from NH

[@katiec4606]

I agree Janet. Wonderful video Sophia. God bless you and your family

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Happy belated Mother’s Day Sophia! Hope you had some time to relax.😊❤️🙏

[@jeannebowes2898]

Looking elegant, Sophia. You are getting through those tasks! How lovely. I am collecting an old family pattern slowly as well.

[@kayluster7671]

I'm the same way! I love looking at and touching my glass treasures! I'm excited, too!

[@kellymorton544]

Happy Mother's Day Sophia! I love Scott's grandma's wedding basket.

[@taramiller7928]

You are doing a great job and you have come so far in that house, it looks calm and cozy.

[@JazzyBabe56]

I always watch everything you do - from start to finish....keep on keeping on...I"ll be there...oh and fave piece in the curio would be the big vase....the one you washed first....I adore well cut crystal...

[@sarahconner8287]

Happy Mother's day 🌷 I think everything is very pretty 💜 one of my favorites is the biscuit jar and your wedding china 💜💜💜

[@audra2211]

The vase is definitely my favorite and the details of the cut!

[@PASwiftUTube]

The country roses is also my wedding china. I love it. Good job with the cabinet, it looks lovely. Anne😄

[@LiveFree123]

Lovely Sophia! I really enjoyed watching you cherish your treasures. ❤️

[@pamela1063]

Loved watching this! Thank you for sharing!! Hard to pick a favorite. I love crystal so will choose the flutes.

[@Robug44]

What a beautiful and interesting collection. Thanks for sharing Sophia. I love the birds and the Oriental pieces. 🌺

[@celestialskye1]

So so beautiful! The addition of the two birds is breathtaking Sophia 💜. As well as an unexpected two books with the tea cup. The Eagle is brilliantly displayed. I was never at any point "bored" with anything. Blessings. 💜💜

[@katiebug41685]

You look stunning! Love your hair this way. I literally yelled, “Yes!” When I saw you posted a video! 💕

[@lindajohnson6905]

I love it all. But the crystals are my favorite. I always love how the light is reflected through them. And that curio is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your pride and joys. It was so lovely to watch.

[@cynthiasullivan8051]

you have a very beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing.

[@belindaulibarri2260]

Wow! That cabinet is stunning once it is all done!

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

I particularly loved this video. I too love crystal, china with flowers and family heirlooms. Your curio cabinet is gorgeous and goes so well with your dining room set and your East Lake piece.

[@Edu_Kate]

Everything is so sparkly clean. Seeing you so happy makes me happy. I'm pretty sure my mother had that same Waterford vase you have on the bottom shelf to the right of the stack of treasured books. My sister has it now. That curb find vase is incredible! Clearly they weren't "Antiques Roadshow" people.

[@Lisa-tj3cd]

I really enjoyed it! Happy Mother’s Day 💐 My favorite piece is the China of Scott’s Great Aunt.

[@kaiaaardal1311]

For me, this was a very satisfying video to watch, and great result! Well done!

[@mrsgingernoisette]

My favorite piece is definetely the vase. Such a beautiful thing..

Omg!! I love it all!!!!! Ok i guess the Japanese tea house collecting. They were just so BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@katnuccio85]

Thank you! This was so enjoyable. It is lovely that you show such care for each item.

[@susanhutchinson5305]

I love China, China cabinets and crystal! Thanks for sharing. Xx

[@eavening4149]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your curios! The anniversary Limouge is stunningly elegant. It reminds me of my great-grandmother's china, she hand-painted the gold leaf paint around the edges.

[@Sara-jc4xw]

Hi Sophia! It's honestly so brave of you to go out and work at times like this. Your service is much appreciated. Stay safe and healthy! We'll get through. Cheers!

[@jonilangel6891]

Thank you Sophia! This was my 1st mothers day without my mom and she would have loved to see all your treasures. She had some Fenton and Nippon pieces. She asked her mother for some pieces of green Cherry Blossom dishes she had gotten during the depression and collected pieces for years. I now have a large set in a china hutch. Happy mother's day & thank you for reminding me how much she loved her dishes the way you love yours. I love watching you!

[@elizabethlangheim9460]

So beautiful, Sophia. I love the crystal glasses with the individual designs. Stunning. Makes me want to run to the kitchen and look at my crystal. We use our crystal water glasses every day but I just love the summertime when I use my crystal iced tea glasses. I have the Mikasa Arctic Lights crystal. The originals without the platinum rims. I don’t care for platinum on my China or crystal.

[@lisab941]

I really enjoyed this video the curio looks beautiful 🥰 the tea house set are my favorite

[@Canadianrobin27]

I got rid of my China years ago because it didn’t bring me joy but seeing you with your China definitely brings me joy because you enjoy it so much. I never had family pieces or anything of monetary or historical value.

[@helenanagnostopoulou8710]

I loooooove the wedding basket. You have such beautiful things. I'm thinking of doing my curio too. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@lindacruikshank2656]

Absolutely beautiful you Sophia are. Thank you for being in my little life. I loved this so much. So calming and interesting you are. I always learn something.

[@margaretschaefer9786]

Normally I don't care for music in videos, but your choice of music is so right on...upbeat but yet soothing.

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I have a very similar curio cabinet also made by Pulaski but it has glass doors that open on both sides on the top and bottom. It’s so difficult to take out the curios, figurines, etc. to clean or move around. It’s mostly full of Disney figurines that my husband and I have been collecting for approx. 25 years. Yours seems so much easier to clean. I’m so happy to see you getting so much joy from cleaning and rearranging your collection.😊

[@pamelagoodson9034]

Debbie's Dilemmas I have a similar one. It is hard to access for sure but I still love mine.

[@wandadavis2468]

Looks so good. Favorite piece... all the crystal!!

[@tonpap]

Of course I remember Jasper! And Im so jealous of your crystal collection!!!!

[@jengus1951]

Loved seeing everything! Also have never seen a cabinet that opens like that! Loved your wedding china!

[@marciabishop2032]

That was so fun!!!! Loved everything Sophia! I also loved hearing the stories behind everything. It was very relaxing watching this and you did a wonderful job! :)

[@mikeandjeanninejeffers1196]

Happy belated Mothers day Sophia😊. I loved watching you reorganize your curio. Your flutes are beautiful, I've never seen a set like that. I love my China too, I have several sets😁. So happy you are doing well, God Bless💜
