Now I understand why you were questioning her each time she wanted to put something in the garage 😆 She's doing such good work!

[@daCubanaqt]

Lol, right! I thought the same exact thing when I saw the garage.

[@TheCarlaProject]

Thanks again to my sister Sherry (and fam) for being SUCH good sports. Sherry is on her journey from hoarding to minimalism (ish)...we are slowly making progress after tackling this garage. Keep comments kind and respectful and if you have nothing good to say keep it movin 😄. Love you thanks for watching and if you are gonna try Factor and want 50% off use my code: bit.ly/3Hf7qKw! thanks so much❤❤❤ Like, comment subscribe and there's a playlist now called Whole House Declutter with all her episodes...more to come!🥳

[@LindsayOLeary]

I absolutely love this series and love the relationship you and your sister have. It reminds me of me and my sister (and her basement is worse than your sister's garage... plus, we'll have to carry it up 😫). Big love to your family and everyone chipping in to get this done in TWO days! Absolutely amazing and inspiring. 💥

[@deidraharalson]

This is an amazing gift you have provided to your family by spearheading this project. Thank you for the motivation to let go of things I no longer need!

[@vdruskas]

Sherry is a star. Enjoyed the fun dynamic between you both in these last videos and all the family working & laughing together❤

[@krisredlee]

You're and amazing sister. I know this was a long hot day but you pushed threw and they were able to let alot of stuff go. Enjoyed watching.

[@kelly3560]

Sisters are the best. Awesome to watch y’all get it ..sorted out.. Good work ladies.

[@Tru-lyCozy]

When I first saw the dumpster i thought I wonder why they got such a big one. Maybe it’s for the whole house? Boyyyyyyy was that garage deceiving. Fantastic job Sherry! That was so much work!

[@TheCarlaProject]

So deceiving!!

[@gurubhaikhalsa9337]

Me too!

[@luzmariaperez2180]

Right? I thought they same thing. But you guys nailed it.

[@nunya257]

Same!

[@valeriehopkins644]

😂 Like what the heck?

[@Jae-by3hf]

Can you thank you sister & nieces for being so vulnerable and opening up their home and wares to the world! 🩷 You all done so well 🙏🏽🎉 You & your family have inspired me to confront my own clutter in a non judgemental way and to process the grief/emotions that come from compulsive spending. Thank you again & give our fur nephew a big hug for being the sweetest baby 🥰✨

[@gimmecoffee2631]

What I love so much about watching this series: 1 Your family’s wonderful love and support for each other 2 Your sister’s decision to completely change her quality of life for the far better. I truly believe as long as we are on earth we can completely change our lives. We just have to make the decision.

[@janetpetersen1424]

Thank you son in law for participating. A pleasant attitude and muscle were a blessing to the cleaning project. Love to all on the project from Minnesota.

[@kimberlytalbo1800]

I felt this entire video in my soul 😢 When my mother in law passed the house the barn and the yard were just like this! It took us 4 years 4 dumpsters 2 trailer loads to the dump 2 regular garbage totes every week for an entire year! Countless things Donated ... Sold ... Put to the street for people to take and we still have things that are in our garage and shed to go through in the spring. The time.. the decisions as to where everything should go was/ is so overwhelming. I now declutter daily so my children don't have to do it when I'm gone. Having order is the best gift you can give your children when you're gone ❤

[@MyssKymm.]

This is awesome… The whole process, cleaning, decluttering, reclaiming personal space, bonding, new appreciations and perspectives, being fair and kind to self, reasoning, accepting, letting go… It’s simply magical. Carla… You’re AWESOME! I admire and respect you as always. Sherry… I’m SO PROUD of you Sis. You’re making GREAT STRIDES. Continue to enjoy and appreciate the process! 👍🏾♥️🩶🤍👏🏾 Everyone pitched to get the job done! Teamwork makes the dream work!

[@TheCarlaProject]

Thanks for the praise appreciate it❤️❤️❤️

[@cheryllewis-scott8741]

Love how everyone pitched in to clean up. You are so right about the costs of impulse buying. I hope that this puts them on the path to living with less. You are a terrific sister.

[@charisedaniels1237]

I'm glad you stuck it out despite the heat. Her garage wasn't even functional before. What a labor of love and so worth it. So glad you had some helpers. I hope your sister is really shifting her mindset and priorities in life. This is so healthy!!!!

[@evareiter6906]

This IS the best declutter series on KZbin so far. I Love IT

[@evelynsweeney7381]

You kept your sister going - kept handing her things, forcing her to make decisions, and guiding her when she needed it. And your brother in law did the heavy work. So much accomplished, great job everyone.

[@jesschas5003]

Fun family. Decluttering is hard and your sis is doing a great job. She’s gonna have to do numerous passes throughout the years but it’ll be well worth it. Thank goodness her sis helped make it an easier process.

[@TheCarlaProject]

Yes this is just round one hopefully it becomes a new lifestyle!!

[@RitaVernoy]

Thank you Sherry for allowing us into your home, it’s great motivation. Carla, thank you for helping your sister while respecting her boundaries😊

[@MerryNatalis]

YAAAAAYYYY (people cheering) CAR-LA! CAR-LA! I'm really loving these big sister little sister videos ❤️❤️❤️ you gals are more brave and courageous than you know 💎🥰

[@TheCarlaProject]

Thank you!!!

[@chowfurnowmeow]

I myself am a recovery hoarder, so I understood the blood, sweat, and tears in decluttering, cleaning, and organizing. I hope you can visit your sister every year to do the same until she's confident enough to declutter on a regular basis.

[@paulakelley4845]

“It’s like trying to drain the ocean”; love your sense of humor! You are the best Sister and it is wonderful to see your loving interactions. Keep up this necessary and good work.

[@semicharmedlife]

Loved that you guys had a sense of humor throughout! Really enjoying these decluttering series with your sister!

[@juliaorgantini143]

As an adult who doesn't have any sisters, I get misty eyes watching you with your sisters! How much lighter does your sister feel with everything that is leaving her garage?! I currently have a garage and three rooms filled with boxes from my parents home. When I boxed it up, I was miserable in my job and I wanted EVERYTHING! I have a new job, my work stress is minimal and now I'm able to tackle my parents belongings.

[@GaiaCarney]

Your comment & this video reinforces my belief that hoarding is inter generational! It’s often triggered by the death of loved ones & ‘inheriting’ their belongings (aka junk) It’s hard to break the cycle 😔 A ‘legacy’ of a cluttered hoard is a heavy load to bear!

[@mirsjaan]

I just love how you both tackle these decluttering projects with humor and patience. Looking forward to watching this one, Carla! Best wishes from Holland 😊

[@lisbethkelsey6622]

Yay, my weekly Samson sighting 🐶 You all kicked butt on the garage, great job!!!

[@TheCarlaProject]

My lil sidekick 😍

[@liatori6214]

Love seeing Samson ❤

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

The amount of work you got done in two days is impressive. I'm glad they are all getting on board with this motivation to declutter as a family. Hopefully they can encourage each other to maintain it going forward.

[@emma.adaptingthecommute4507]

The life changing magic of Carla. ❤. What a fantastic transformation. 👏 You all worked so hard and well done to your sister and family for their ruthless declutter.

[@TheCarlaProject]

Aw thank you!!!

[@ChristianAnneSmith]

“Rethinking all my life choices”….. with the zoom in on your face…😂😂😂 that moment made me laugh out loud. Honestly, this whole video had me giggling. I love the energy you have with your sister and the rest of your family.❤ Pretty impressive amount of stuff you tackled. Awesome job, Sherry and Carla!

[@apriljackson5304]

I have nothing but admiration for you, your sis and family for persevering through a major decluttering project in extreme heat‼️🥵 Moreover, Sherry's commitment to change is extremely noteworthy and applaudable. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 What family cooperation‼️ I'm in awe of all of you.....the GUTS it took to be so transparent and vulnerable. 💯 I'm so grateful and inspired by witnessing this miraculously effective garage transformation❣️👍🏻🥹🥰

[@conniepleasant1081]

I think the more we all get away from heavy consumption the better we feel. I used to shop for wardrobe items years ago and never consistently use most of it. This is such a hard step for your family and you supporting them with this is really what is heart warming about this whole series. There’s some deeper sides to all of this consumption but this is a great step in the best direction. I am sending you all positive, clutter free vibes for the all of the years to come ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@altheagochenour6821]

Your sister has such a sweet honest disposition 🤗

[@MeaningfulLife330]

She’s doing so much better at letting go than many others I have watched!

[@sherri.]

What incredibly hard work! Kudos to Sherry, Carla and family for this major accomplishment. That must have been exhausting mentally and physically. Hope Sherry is so proud! 🥰

[@TheCarlaProject]

Took days to recover 😅😅😅

[@elizabethbertsch3066]

Carla, I needed to recover after watching! That was a lot of work! You all did fantastic!!👏🏻

[@SusieQZee]

This is a true expression of love- what you did for your sister. Inspiring! Mi would love a video on the bag of stuff you took home! Love to see little treasure found within all the trash.

[@peachettte]

me too!

[@TheCarlaProject]

Yes will share in a vlog this month!!

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

Thank you Sherry for this epic episode! Also, it's crazy how much you and your family got done in this short amount of time

[@skyegroome223]

Carla you're a miracle worker. You're blessing so many people by doing this. I can't imagine how much relief they feel afterward.

[@candicewaller403]

This is amazing progress! Your sister is a hoarder for sure but it's phenomenal how far she's come. Clear ZONES are going to be crucial when it comes to organizing this garage. Definitely more decluttering to do, but once you get to organizing I'd suggest a peg board or open shelving for tools. This family will absolutely forget what's inside of those drawer units and/or never put them away after use.

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

Almost done helping my friend decluttering her whole home. We just finished her craft room and have started doing a little organizing just to give her decision fatigue a break. She, like your sister, was so happy to have her spaces cleared. Great work from all four of you. Room to breathe😁

[@user-ns9em7jn7i]

You inspired me to work on my closet yesterday! I tried on clothes got a bag to donate and dropped it off all in a few hours!

[@TheCarlaProject]

Amazing love this!!!

[@crystal_pistol]

I admire sooo much about your process. I respect the fact that you keep the expectations based in reality! Not everything has to be perfect like we all continually see on instagram or Pinterest. this is what is realistic for this family with room to improve.

[@sallymartin581]

They did amazing. So proud of your sister and her family. They really embraced this declutter.

[@holly1576]

Wow, decluttering like this is so life-changing! What a blessing for your sister. Y'all did amazing!

[@ellenherman9543]

I would love to see her house all decluttered and stay that way. She deserves to be happy and live in a serene house❤

[@KathyJohnson-og6wx]

I laughed too hard when you found that ‘bag of bags’ I recently moved my mother into my home after I found her semi conscious in bed with influenza that had turned into pneumonia. While she was in hospital my daughters, son and son in laws and myself moved her out of her house in one day! To say she is a hoarder is an understatement and amongst many other items that are now in my garage waiting to be sorted was about 15 ‘bags of bags’ my daughters and I literally sat on the floor crying tears of laughter when we actually found a ‘box of bags’ as well. 😂🤣

[@HappyCats17]

I have bags of bags, as well as boxes of boxes! 😂

[@Margriet811]

That is quite the labour you did! Your sister is doing so well with this and it’s brave of her to share her situation with all of us. You guys are the best for helping her the way you did. You can actually have a dance party in the garage! ❤

[@antiantipoda]

To do hard labor on heat get a cotton scarf and wet it. Wrap around your neck and re-wet as needed. It does help a lot.

[@kayalford6746]

I have a single car garage and it looked like this a couple of weeks ago. It took me 3 days to clean it out. I got tickled when it was said “so I won’t have to buy duplicates”. This is why I have 3 drills! But I can park my car in my garage now.

[@opinionatedone]

I love your relationship with your sister; you're so respectful and manage to have chuckles together. I feel sad for her that all that $ is gone, but all she can do is go forward, and she is. All the respect!! 🤗

[@SnuggleSnatcher]

You and your sister are just such a joy to watch. I like how you create a space and calm space for helping her let go of these extra things.

[@sherryhudson9075]

Oh my goodness, what a tremendous amount of hard work! It looks wonderful tho. I’m so happy for your sister and her “new” garage

[@mariedrotar3215]

What a wonderful journey. Everyone seems to be so on board and my goodness how helpful James was!!! He worked so hard. This experience was very relaxing for myself as a viewer and I so appreciate you all for keeping it real. Thank you for sharing!

[@gingermonette7455]

Bravo for sticking with it in the heat. And bravo to the fam for being willing to make hard decisions and get rid of stuff! When you first showed that big dumpster I thought there was no way you'd need one that big--I was so wrong!!

[@ihatehandles111]

This is beyond incredible. WELL DONE SHERRY for letting so much go. Well done everyone. Also awesome that you posted all that free stuff. I know tossing it would have been way easier!!! I am so proud lol and I hope this Sherry series continues..

[@plynn136]

That was epically awesome You, Sherry and her lovely family were so focused and determined. You did it! That was a fun and inspiring video. Looking forward to more.

[@Wilma.Flintstone]

Sherry was so great with letting things go! Many people who have material items to this degree will fight others tooth and nail, but she was such a team player about this :)

[@breezyvibe]

Cleaning like this is like shopping for things you know you already like because you already bought them. Enjoyed it.

[@sommerjohnson9129]

This was just the motivation I needed today to help my parents declutter their pantry. You inspire in ways that make large daunting projects feel manageable! Thanks Carla and Sherry, and great work!!

[@fabienneroure9995]

Absolutely amazing and Its got the Samson seal of approval!❤ As soon as the garage door opened, I felt overwhelmed for you guys! You all had such a positive attitude and I loved how determined you were! Thank you tor taking us along in this journey. God bless and cheers from Ontario Canada. ❤❤😘

[@TheCarlaProject]

🥰❤️

[@ellenherman9543]

I think i would have tossed everything and started over....take it down to the studs!

[@helgamuller187]

Tears in my eyes, when i see how respectful, friendly and helpful you sisters treat each other. Hope my girls will also so helpful and support each other, when they ara adult. Your Mama did agreat job. ❤❤❤

[@TheCarlaProject]

What a kind thing to say 🥹❤️thank u!!

[@elwiub]

Omg that "rethinking all my life choices" part made me laugh out loud...sorry that was funny! 😂 I know that was a ROUGH job for all in that heat and no air moving in the garage. 🥵💖

[@ThereseDavidson]

Love love LOVE this series with your sister! gold

[@sharonshmuel3386]

Hi Carla & Sherry ❤ absolutely love this decluttering series 😂❤

[@lmsteller9736]

The fact that your sister trusts you and is so willing to get rid of stuff! I hope this helps her feel lighter, happier and less burdened. God Bless You Both - Amazing Transformation ❤

[@user-be9gh6jj2b]

AMAZING! Watched it twice over the past few months . Your family did a wonderful job! Hopefully, making this space functional and easier to manage will encourage Sherry to make more positive changes to her home.

[@Makeuploveculture]

I’m impressed with how well you all handled this together with such great attitudes toward each other and the situation. Usually when someone has to help a hoarder clan up- they’re not happy and it definitely shows and the hoarder is struggling before anything happens. You all did really well.

[@onairwitherika4644]

Carla wow. You are so incredible for helping your sister like this. This series has been my favorite so far on your channel. You are so inspiring. Truly. I cannot wait to see her whole house after you've hit every room and corner. This is truly remarkable. I hope a TV show sees this.

[@c.parker8439]

One thing that people don't think about is that storage causes you to store things. Limit your storage capacity so you'll let things go. My garage is a minimalist space. Keep up the good work, Carla and family. Good luck

[@LisaKEntertainment]

My gosh! That garage is wild! Looks incredibly overwhelming, and exemplifies how helpful it is for folks like me to have your help with similar projects.

[@missyelle2749]

Carla!! You are an Angel on earth. You can see the Love that you have for your family. I do want to encourage your sister to rethink all of those items she wanted to hold onto with one thought in mind.. when she passes away who will want/ be responsible for keeping all of those items? I know it’s not something we want to think about, but it is a part of our life cycle. The next declutter session should be with the mindset of letting go of items that won’t be of use to her children and prevent them the daunting task of cleaning up during an emotionally charged time. I was very appreciative of my my Mom doing a big cleanup and purge before succumbing to her illness. I didn’t have to struggle with grieving and deciding what to keep or get rid of. By far this is one of your best videos! Please continue to visit and bring us along on future declutter sessions for your sister. Thank you so very much for sharing. 🥰🍄

[@SuperTech59]

I can't believe the amount of work you guys did-impressive! Thank you Sherry and family for sharing the process with us!

[@MSHoneybee210]

Aw I wish y’all had sone air fans! I’m crazy over this series. Y’all are so warm to each other and it’s so lovely

[@msclassybossy]

Watching you two has caused me to declutter my holiday decor!

[@shannonflood255]

Your sister is so brave

[@TheCarlaProject]

She is!!

[@arleenem9828]

I love, love your channel because you show us real life and not try to sell us an aesthetic of what an organized, minimal home should look like. Thanks for keeping it real and thanks to your sister for opening her home to us ❤

[@taneshanurse9883]

The “ex husband ashes” part took me out😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💗💗

[@_dewinther6480]

Wow that was a super impressive declutter, crazy how denslay packad the garage was 😅 fantastic work 💖💖💖🍾🍾🍾

[@TheCarlaProject]

Super dense yes!!!

[@bobababy21]

You all did an unbelievably INCREDIBLE job! So awesome to see you all working together to make it happen ♡

[@YarX0]

🤯Well done to you, Carla, and everyone, this was a humongous task. I can feel the new energy this process is bringing to the family and am positive they'll be able to breathe much easier ☺Hopefuly the new habits will stick 🤞Thanks to your sister for being this vulnerable and continuing to share her journey ❤

[@maevegreaney4009]

$600! That's a good night out with the whole family, dinner & concert/ball game. Or a weekend away!!!

[@Lala-fl8gd]

Carla bless you for your kindness in helping your sister. You are making a huge difference in her and the rest of your family’s life. I enjoy watching her decluttering journey ❤

[@leslierivera8702]

Wow 🤩 at the start of the video I honestly thought you bit off more than you could chew lol. But as always you prevailed!!! The difference is unbelievable ❤❤. I look forward to more episodes of this series. Great job Carla and to your family!!! You all rock!!!

[@TheCarlaProject]

Thank you!!❤️❤️

[@momacdonald1]

Thank you Sherry for being willing to share this. It is daunting to do, but y'all powered through!!! Thank you Carla for helping your sister through the process and doing it in such a respectful way. This was kindness from all and so encouraging for many!!!

[@debbykline]

I just love your family and you are such a compassionate, hard working and excellent organizer. Sherry is doing an amazing job and your family support is awesome. I love that you bring humor to it and have a way of making a tough job fun even though it sure looked hot! Great job everyone ❤

[@pattirose54]

Have Mercy! I was thinking Jimmy Hoffa might have been under that pile🤣 y’all did such a good job and laughing all the way✨

[@yeehawhippie]

carla’s psychology makes so much sense now - she was raised in a traumatic house of hoarding and clutter, and now it is her passion to teach people how to be organized. ❤

[@kristymiller2098]

Hahaha I love how the last two videos she said put it in the garage. Girl where?!

[@TheCarlaProject]

Exactly ahhahaha

[@LisaGray1000]

She did so well to let so much go. What a great fam that you can all work together so hard and get all that done!

[@42ayla]

Mad respect working in that heat. I couldn't physically do it without passing out, no exaggeration.

[@TheCarlaProject]

Truth!

[@0JReynolds]

That was amazing!! I just can’t believe how much went in the dumpster. I was so surprised. The garage is a nice size, it could really be fixed up nicely. I bet she feels so relieved to have had help and for so much to be gone. Great job everyone ~ Janet 🤣

[@regdesousa9763]

Lmao I love drunk drawers lol .

[@patriciadifferding7688]

So impressed with your sister’s attitude and your patience and sense of humor. Love your family.

[@janosz193]

Phew - this gave me anxiety just watching it. Cleaning and/or moving is such a wake-up call for how much we acquire. It is so so easy to do, and it does sneak up on you. Great work!

[@jessellelopez9741]

GOOD JOB! love this series.

[@pippamint176]

haha,love the start already, so funny and honest 😄it's so sweet of you to help your sister with decluttering her home. seems like all of of you also had a lot of fun working on the garage

[@hurdiehurdie924]

17:21 Sooo true! But I feel like I needed to hear this again… Thanks, Carla! 👏🏼☺️🍁

[@Arionlappy]

Oooh so inspirational. Good timing too. My sister is coming to live with me for a while so I had to tackle my 2 last hoarded rooms, because one of them was the guest room. I definitely did not get rid of enough stuff, I only got rid of the actual garbage and put away the stuff stuff, so didn't declutter this time. but getting rid of actual trash was still important because I stored all the empty boxes in there of purchases. Even though it was a bit of a clutter shuffle, at least the room is cleaned and liveable and I didn't just fill up one of the other rooms I already unhoarded and organized. Yay sister time.

[@nolasavedmysoul]

“Should we be having a yard sale?” Carla: “NO” shut that sh*t down lol. My mom and I used to have yard sales and would make a lot of money, but as we get older it’s just not worth it anymore. Just sell the items worth selling and get rid of the rest! Love this series btw! Can’t wait for more 😊

[@lubnan08]

Your sister reminds me of my parents. I've helped them but they have so much stuff. It doesn't happen overnight. I've also decluttered my home. I never want to hoard again in my life. Just like it took me 2 years to lose 80lbs. I've never gaining the weight again. Americans, we have too much stuff. The urge to limit buying has to be strong.

[@krystal7382]

You guys did an amazing job on your sister's garage. I can tell she really loves it now. Carla you are truly an inspiration to us all. Thank you. 💕💕💕

[@TheCarlaProject]

Thank you so much!🥰

[@jemreandeau3583]

I impressed with your stamina, you all stuck it out til it was finished. Looks great.

[@golightly5121]

Yay! Helping Sherry again, she is sweet and so are you!

[@returnofthereasoner3200]

I’m enjoying this series so much . I am a senior, planning to move from my apartment to my daughter’s home two states away in late December. I’m finding it difficult to let things go, even though she keeps telling me to only bring my clothes, personal toiletries, and small dog. Of course, I must take my Barry White and Sade CDs! I didn’t realize how stressful it would be to donate and toss the bulk of my belongings. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@LaurenSmith-tb6ye]

Wow! Lots of hard work done here and everyone is still laughing! Phew!

[@sinaain]

There is also the environmental impact of impulse shopping unnecessary things. So many reasons to be more mindful about what you buy. But huge props to your sister for tackling the problem and I look forward of seeing her house to get transformed bit by bit.
