Decluttering for downsizing & moving out | Huge home office & kitchen declutter

I'm downsizing and moving from a 2 bedroom unit to a 1 bedroom apartment. In this video I go through my home room by room and decide what I'm taking with me and what I'm decluttering. I reflect on some of the pieces that I love but unfortunately have to let go. After spending the last 9 months decluttering and reorganising my whole home, it's time to reduce my possessions even more to move into a smaller space.
At this time I also want to acknowledge the innocent Israelis and Palestinians who are caught up in the terrible events occurring in the middle east, many of whom have lost loved ones and are suffering terribly. I send my love, deepest sympathy and prayers for their safety.

I love watching your decluttering videos. They inspire me. My daughter and I are cleaning out the shed and decluttering items. Going down memoriy lane was exciting with many oohs and ahhs and loud laughts about the stories behing the items. Looking forward to the videos of the your life journey in your new home. TFS.

I feel for you cleaning out your shed. I just finished my garage declutter so I know it’s a lot of hard work! I’m so pleased you enjoyed going down memory lane with me ☺️. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me! ❤️

Oh Im listening to this and glancing as Im decluttering myself before a downsizing move 😅🙈 It is sooo hard! Me and hubby are moving across Europe, from northen Scandinavia to southernmost Europe. Our current house isnt very big, its a tiny cottage but on a small farmstead so there is SO SO much to deal with 😳 Granted we have only lived there for 2 years and havent kept animals so it could have been much more complicated, but its hard enough! We have nine houses in total on the farm 🫣🙈🙈 And moving in a few week! We have been decluttering for a week or two now but I just dont know how we will manage honestly! We were both pretty minimalist when we moved in together on the farm but only two years have managed to change that I fear 🙈 We will also loose our office space and have a much smaller kitchen. And its not a farmstead but a semi detached small house. Were exchanging the cold and darkness for sunnier shores though ☺️ Which is what makes it worth it. But it is hard work for sure. There is hardly any storage space either, Just a small waredrobe for me and hubby to share, nothing else 😳 So Im trying to be ruthless. There is also the cost of moving everything such a distance… but we just have to make it! Thank you for being my inspiration! You are doing such a great job, I try my best to follow your example ☺️🥰

[@teawithlilibet]

Being ruthless is probably a wise approach given the huge challenge you're dealing with! Best of luck and let me know how it all turns out ❤️❤️

[@k.l.8804]

Thank you! 🥰🤗 Haha I’ll try to remember to let you know if I survive the move 😅🙈

These drawings of yours are so gorgeous! Sentimental things are the hardest to go through for me, but oftentimes it's such a relief to make the decision to let it go.

[@teawithlilibet]

Thanks Sophia! Until I started decluttering I actually forgot how much I used to enjoy drawing 😀 Yes, its very emotional but cathartic as well ❤️

[@littlemissaj65]

This is all so exciting! So happy for you. ❤

[@teawithlilibet]

Thank you!! 🥰

Ooh! There were so many wedding gown places in Melbourne in the 1980s and 1990s! I can't remember where I got mine from but it was definitely somewhere along Swanston Street. Mine was actually a debutante dress, but it was the only one that looked good on me! Downsizing those mementoes is so difficult, but I am so happy to hear you felt good about the process 🤗

[@teawithlilibet]

Thank you! Yes there were so many boutiques back then. And it took a lot of patience and leg work to find the right one because you couldn't search online 😆❤️

[@graceaxisa4213]

@@teawithlilibet yes, that's so true! 🩷

[@taraa3456]

Very satisfying to watch - good luck for the packing phase!

The white box I would get rid of and put the tv on the hall side board

[@teawithlilibet]

Thanks yes I considered that option but needed the side table near my entrance which I hope to show soon in my next video. I also plan to get a lovely new entertainment unit 😀

[@lunizparlein173]

Well done ❤

[@teawithlilibet]

Thank you!! 😍

[@mixedgems]

It's almost here!

[@teawithlilibet]

So exciting! 😘

[@sct4040]

Start packing everything you LOVE, then give or sell everything else.

[@teawithlilibet]

That’s a good strategy! 😍

[@lindabourketempleton4040]

So you were married, where is your husband? I have been married three times divorced twice and a widow once

[@teawithlilibet]

Yes, divorced many years ago now. I’m very sorry for your loss ❤️

I don't understand the hair pulled over the shoulders look. Why is that what everyone does now????

[@teawithlilibet]

Haven’t really thought about it too much. For me it’s just a simple way to keep my long hair neat on camera. But if it really offends you maybe just don’t watch 🤣

[@sct4040]

Well, at least she speaks perfect English without all the phrases that 20 something uses currently. I don’t really understand what they are saying anymore on some videos 😂😂😂.
