Decluttering My Mom's Kitchen pt 2 | Rebecca Spencer

[@mariannaryan456]

I think you two ladies going section by section is very motivational. It shows everyone how you don't need to lose your mind to get organized. Looking forward to your next video.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Thank you. Lol I would definitely lose my mind trying to do that all at one time. I would give up lol

[@TheMeganExperience]

The peepin' over the cabinet had me cracking up! Love these videos !!!

[@rebeccaspencer718]

🤣🤣 im glad you loved it 🩷

[@Libby-qk9jr]

I think you two are doing a great job. I think I commented before that when the last of my parents passed away, my sisters and I had to declutter their house. And my dad was a master at filling every single nook and cranny. We had to rent a big dumpster and filled it 3 or 4 times. Plus so much stuff that went to Goodwill. It was physically and mentally draining. And I'm no spring chicken! It's so important to get away from "we might need it someday." Those are the worst words in the English language. LOL LOL Keep up the good work and don't ever let it get you down. It's a daunting task, I know, but one day you'll look around and breathe a sigh of relief. It'll be done and it'll be beautiful.

[@deannaw9657]

You both are very motivating! I lost my step dad and brother 7 weeks apart from each other so i completely understand. They were both hoarders and terrible housekeepers so i had my work cut out for me. The waves of grief can be so frustrating. I once lost it at the deli counter of my grocery store because the bologna reminded me so much of my brother. Those poor deli workers! ❤

[@MS.Warrior79]

Love and respect for the both of you! I know how you are feeling and the pain that you are going through. I lost both my parents 9 months apart it took me 5 years to start going through their things and my mom was a hoarder. God bless you both

[@cathinewton3249]

You ladies are angels and you help me with my own depression. I don't have anyone to help me but i hope to learn to help myself with humor and your inspiration. love you both!!

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Well done! After watching you last week, I tackled my Mom's laundry room/pantry, and a bit of her kitchen. I did the area 2 years ago, and it really needed cleaning again. Thanks for the motivation!

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Awe, That is awesome! I love it!!! Great job. I know she appreciated the help. It really just feels amazing to do something for someone else. Thank you for sharing that. Definitely brought a smile to my face ☺️

I really LOVE your channel!!! You 2 work good together!! continue to show what you declutter.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Awe thank you 🩷 most definitely. We have lots more to declutter for sure!

[@cyndilouwhoxo5800]

You did a great job and if your dad likes the changes, that means you are making his life easier and happier. I’m sure there’s lots more to do but it’ll feel so good once round one is finished 😊

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Thank you so much🩷 definitely alot left in round one 😉

That clear vase with the silver trim would be pretty filled with small Christmas balls. I do that to add some pretty color to my table at Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@toddylu6869]

I thought it was unique too. The filler idea is a great one!

[@rebeccaspencer718]

That would look beautiful. My sister actually decided to to keep that one 😊

It really is a great idea

I miss my daughter who lives in another state from me now and watching you guys just reminds me so much of how we were together. I love watching you together you have a lot of fun with each other and I hope that never changes.

[@barblistul8348]

Great job ladies!. I like those nice deep drawers under the microwave. When I declutter and can't decide if I should keep it I ask myself if I can replace it for 20.00 or under. If I can out it goes. We just moved our mobile home and we had to take everything out because of weight restrictions. Anyway it was a great opportunity to declutter. A bit overwhelming at times but we did it. You'll get there. Bless both of you. Your sweethearts.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Thank you so much. Omg yes i love those drawers. I wish I had more lol. Moving is the best time to declutter. I always use it as a declutter time for sure. That's a good idea. With the $20 rule. ☺️

[@trina415]

You are 2 of the nicest ppl on here always making me smile ❤

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Awe thank you so much 🩷 glad you're enjoying the videos 😊

[@IonaWard]

You girls are doing a great job! I have always enjoyed watching you. I used to help my dear friend ( she passed in March). She hoarded food. Her home was very little and there were 6 people living there. We always had so much fun cleaning and organizing. I’ve been working on decluttering my home too. It is so much easier to keep clean without so much stuff.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Awe, thank you! I'm sorry to hear about your friend. And you're definitely right, it is much easier to keep clean with less stuff

[@CherylCoolidge]

Fantastic job! You two look like sisters.

What you should do first with the dust is sweep it with the whisp broom then vacuum and then spray your cleaner on it.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

That's a good idea. Thank you 🩷

[@jennyjenkins877]

@@rebeccaspencer718 Damp dusting is actually more efficient at capturing dust particles whereas dry dusting kicks it into the air and triggers allergies. Keep up the good work!

[@kimberlymiller655]

I think spraying it first is better so the dust doesn’t spread and get all in the air. To each her own:))❤😅😊

[@JennCadyFiddlyBits]

Good idea unless you’re allergic to dust. Spraying it down a little first helps keep it from poofing into the air. ❤

[@labradorite8256]

Watching from Australia. That intro was beautiful. So tragic for those involved. That dust that gathers up high in a kitchen is something else, isn't it. You're doing a lovely job. The Spacemaker also says clean, declutter, then organise! She also says don't buy any containers until you've been through everything. As you empty things you'll gather collection for your reorganisation stage. You can decide then if they are suitable. You are correct, you just have to pick a spot. And to be honest, as much as we'd like it all done as soon as possible, the decluttering part needs to sit with you sonetimes. Depending on the volume of stuff, it might be hundreds and hundreds of decisions and that is taxing on our brains. I'm of the school that its ok to go over things in a couple of passes if necessary. I've found myself letting go effortlessly on the 3rd or 4th go. I've had to accept the time this takes.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Thank you so much. Decluttering is definitely a process lol.

[@lynnyurcho1448]

Maybe put the Dutch oven on top of the microwave (if it fits) for easier access…when you are doing your final decorating.😊 Use water with lemon juice instead of vinegar since you don’t like the smell.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Great tip! Thank you

[@ElisabethCorson-ib8ck]

If you want everyone to use the splatter guard when using the microwave, store it IN the microwave. Easier to remember to use it when you have to move it to put your food in.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

I use a paper plate as a splatter guard, when it gets nasty we throw it away and use another one.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

I've done that before

[@rebeccaspencer718]

I actually did that in my other home. I guess it's just a habit to have it on top of the microwave in my mom's house, lol. But yes very smart idea

17:23 I heat a bowl of water with vinegar or lemon for 3-5 minutes and works amazing.

Tops of cabinets instead of wax paper peel and & stick wallpaper at Dollar Tree,(shelf lining paper) Easier to clean Since it will not move around like wax paper

[@rebeccaspencer718]
