EXTREME BEDROOM DECLUTTER ! \\ Master Bedroom Before + After

This video is a part of a larger series I'm doing here on my channel where I declutter and organize basically my whole life! We're a large family (with 8 kids) and we need to stop our "stuff" from taking over our lives! Maybe you're in the same place too? You can check out my blog for a free checklist so you can declutter and organize right along side of me!

[@TheTable_Oklahoma]

I grew up with a hoarder, so I watch videos like to to learn what a normal house looks like. I'm slowly getting my life and house clean and organize. Thank you for videos like this, it's still weird for me to see how people live that's not in a hoard.

[@Chickennuggethead]

I’d put a cushion on that shelf if it’s wide enough, like a window seat. Then a rug and ottoman would leave access to the dormers but look nice!

[@suger595]

Exactly what I was thinking. Also adding some plants to the area to brighten it up and add life.

[@loissage3630]

I am hoping she voices her own book. I will buy!

[@flinryder7119]

gamrlrg great idea x

[@miranda4475]

Yes! And she could do floating bookshelves above the dormers

[@aswinthasteketee5771]

I wanted to say the same thing 👍

[@zzhoundzz8403]

Plants on the window ledge would be nice & a rug in that area.

[@Summer-ov6kj]

God this was such a good feeling I don’t know why I get so much satisfaction over people decluttering their life 😂👏🏼 amazing job ❤️

[@TriciaYoung17]

I love the empty-ish look. But you could definitely warm things up by styling those window shelves a bit. And maybe some textiles like a rug, curtains, pillows or a cushion over in that area.

[@Frozen99Heart]

if you put curtains there the space it will look better and less empty

[@jadeconran1]

Great job !!!!! It looks amazing : ) I totally think you should put two small chairs in that nook that you can easily slide out when you need to access the dormers. I think it would be such a lovely place to read : )

[@brandigreer8244]

Jade Conran I totally agree!!! The chairs would be super easy to just slide away from the access door and slide back when done. Would be an amazing reading space. And would use the bottom shelving for books 😃🤗

[@kimbo3468]

I was thinking the same or even put the chairs out a little facing toward the window to create a little reading nook put cushions on the window seal or pillows and a few books underneath

[@christinarenshaw5295]

I have 3 kids and before I had my little girl in September I had decluttered everything in my house. Every drawer, closet, and room was organized and everything had a place. Now I am doing it all over again. It is crazy how much piles up in such a short amount of time.

[@kaylalorentz3020]

You could get a window seat cushion made! My mom had custom ones made for hers and it helped it look more complete.

[@MissCarolineN]

agreed. window seat and lots of cushions will give life to that area.

[@aprilknutson2809]

Agreed. That would be cozy.

[@ashleighnicolewilson]

You know I love an empty-ish space....clutter free space = clutter free mind!! It looks amazing, sis!!!

[@pjengland286]

Leaving it empty for a little bit and then looking at decorating is a good idea. I found after becoming minimal myself I found I could leave a wall without an art piece which was HUGE for me but less is more peaceful. Just let it settle in. Way to go!! 😀👍

[@angela.braniff]

Thanks 😊

[@adagioborntrager4456]

Honestly filling up empty spaces like that nook with chairs would just give ME the opportunity to pile things on it and make more of a mess! If you don’t find a need for it maybe it’s just better empty!

[@beccam507]

Can you fill that nook shelf with houseplants and put a moveable chair there and maybe an essential oil diffuser, and make a pleasant place to sit and read and get vitamin D? That shelf by the window would be perfect for plants!

[@beckiblack859]

I had some exercise things lying on the floor against one wall in my bedroom. After I put it away in a different part of the house, I felt uncomfortable with the emptiness of that space. Every time I walked past it, it just felt wrong. Then I went on a trip and stayed in a hotel, which (of course) has absolutely no clutter. When I got home, I was over the uncomfortable feeling. Don't fill up your empty spaces with something right away. Go spend some time in a completely clutter-free space first. Then see if that changes how you feel. I think your room looks fantastic! 💖

[@catwmn14]

I love seeing that other people’s houses look cluttered just like mine!

[@brittanirichards5188]

When you realize there's comments on this channel.... 😭♥️😭 I love these fun decluttering videos!

[@loreneknight9755]

Wow...I admire YOU. Here u r, a mom of ??? how many? A wife. A teacher. Organizer. Author. Domestic engineer. Ok...wow. Then you look gorgeous!!! Hair, nails, peace of mind, taking great care of YOU & everyone else in your life. Cheech, I'm humbled. Keep on fighting the good fight, dear lady.

[@nadjiabettahar7128]

Even the sound is clearer after decluttering. Magic

[@melaniehumphreys6445]

Wow what a transformation! I love how you are tackling one area at a time to create a peaceful and tidy home. The window you could put plants and sheer curtain. Cushion and book reading spot. Maybe a small stand for a tea.

[@iwonaolszewska-szmurlo5267]

When in doubt think green 🤗 I would put little plants on the top and/or big plant in the middle so u can acses both nooks. It helps with air quality too so u can sleep better. Love your videos 👍

[@katiethomas5889]

It is so cute when kids try to fold clothing! My daughter who is almost 4.5 sometimes helps me with laundry folding and she is always so determined.

[@nictrinkchic]

My husband is calling my de-cluttering "Nicole's Nesting Stage" because we are expecting our first child in May. It feel so good though to get rid of so much junk and reorganize our space. These videos definitely motivate me to clear out the clutter in our lives.

[@kristinestocker]

Maybe put a cushion on the built-in bench in the nook and make it a reading nook.

[@terrisouza2692]

First I would like to say I love your music. Your videos inspire me so much that I have started decluttering my whole house. I would also like to say you are an amazing person for what you do to give kiddos a living home to be raised in. God Bless you and your family.

[@gloria7324]

What a pretty, peaceful space ! ❤ For the window area, I think a few simple glass bottles/vases on one end to make it visually interesting. And plants, even just 1, would fit beautifully there, too.

[@suzannebenitez9720]

2 sitting chairs with wheels in front of the little doors would be great! You can add small wheels to the feet of the chairs then if you need to accessbthe closet you can easily roll them out and back!👍 A curtain in front of the window with the plant would be so pretty and cozy also. I love you and am so blessed by your videos. Thank you for your encouragement I feel like you and I am inspired, cleaning out our house also and I agree, clutter depresses me. I homeschool and have 5 kids and it is so hard. Praise God for your joyful spirit and encouragement!!!

[@Hjertehjemme]

Amazing! 👍 Yes to mental space and peace! 😄❤️😜 A clean and peaceful bedroom means so much for your everyday life. 😍 Blessings from Norway! 🇳🇴

[@TheSimran8229]

I really admire you, with 8 kids and 2 of you.... and amount of things you do for them, from cooking to cleaning. Taking care of your kids very calm loving with them 🥰🥰. My 2 boys 14 and 12 oh boy they are alot of mental work for me.... and the added stress of them not doing much around to help me... God Bless Your Family 😇😇

[@marley3929]

very nice declutter and you're so sympathetic, relaxing and fun to watch !☺️ and about your least favourite corner of the room, I'd make it into a reading nook, just put cushions or a single pad on it to make it a bench and hanging shelves above the storage doors. a plant in the corner, blanket into the lower shelves and boom it's a lovely place. I'd loooove to have such a big window sill.

[@chelsweeea]

This series has motivated me to do the same thing in my own home. It’s been so refreshing to get things organized and it always feels so great to get something accomplished!

[@pennyortiz8176]

I’m with you! I’ve taken this up for the last three years 🙌🏼 best thing I’ve done for myself and family. Living decluttered adds value to your days! Less “inventory” to be responsible for, think about and arrange. More time doing what you need to and want to do... adds so much value to life!!

[@kkatmom]

Your room looks amazing! I’m still in the midst of my room. My bedroom is a place where I sleep, but it’s a whole lot more. It’s my craft room, my living room... I live with my daughter, son in law, two grandchildren and many pets. So my bedroom plays multiple roles. The last two days have been spent rearranging furniture, hanging decor and organizing, there is still much more organizing to do. The way I’ve rearranged the room has given me two “spaces “, one where I sleep and the other is everything else! I’m so exhausted but more excited to see my life become less hectic and chaotic, now that I’m doing this! Thank you for this series! It’s given me the push I so needed! Donna

[@flutefreekazoid]

Make the former a reading knook! Put down a cushion, add some cute & colored pillows, and some pretty drapes! Then books and baskets in the shelves below!

[@MomLuvs2Collect]

You should totally make the window shelf area a book nook, it would look so great plus you can display your own book there too!

[@jsblake199]

The chirping of the dead battery in the smoke detector is hilarious

[@andyandzomuani]

Oh my goodness! I can see myself so much in your video. I had to laugh several times as it reminds me of myself 😂. I just love watching you 👍. Amazing woman you are! You are such an inspiration!!! I admire you so much ♥️

[@katherinehaig4660]

Two cloth or canvas folding chair facing each other! You could add a lap blanket or cushion to make it look more cozy, but they would be really easy to move when you need to. Imagine: coffee and a book next to that big window!

[@kylafish]

that little shelf in your room would be so cute for plants! or even a little window seat

[@lyndseylivingoutloud3930]

I didn’t read all the comments, but the nook shelves could be a cute place to display your favorite shoes (which I know you decluttered already) to go along with your hat display. And then a bench cushion would help it feel complete for sure. Love this series, I’m doing a similar home declutter as well!

[@jackandlill]

Oh my goodness - your jewelry collection is like mine! In several places - 3 jewelry boxes & 1 over the door jewelry "closet" full! I wish I could have seen a bit more of your process with decluttering it - but just that you had a similar amount & you got there is inspiring! Good for you! ♥

[@alltheketoladies209]

I would totally move the vanity into the window area, so much great light!

[@allison1802]

I am honestly LOVING this series. I am also loving doing it along side you and going through things in my home to hopefully declutter my mind too!

[@miss-megative2683]

I love decluttering, my boyfriend and I are about to move in together so I’ve been doing this process with you and I hope you’re feeling as good as I am! For your nook space, maybe you could decorate the bench area with pillows for sitting, hang curtains, and add a dog bed or something so it’s easily accessible but still cozy!

[@imsoscaredrightnow]

Hanging wicker chairs would be sooo cute in that nook!

[@ohthankg-dforthebourgeoisi9800]

Congratulations on eight beautiful children! Good for you! Smart hiding the chocolate 😆. For me that little nook would definitely be a book nook! Nice lamp, reading chair, place for tea, ..... ahhh

[@TayloredVlog]

Always feels good to declutter your life

[@kendylcrain]

I love that window space in your room! I would take off the blinds and put patterned or solid pull shades so that you can let the morning light in and drink coffee/read the Bible there in the mornings before kiddos wake up! Put some cushions on the built in bench to match the shades and a comfy chair that can be easily moved when you need access to the storage space. Fill the shelves with books and small decor. Ahhh I just wish I had a space like that 😜

[@donnat4650]

I like the idea of putting plants on that ledge and maybe some books 📚 on the shelves....great job! I did my jewelry during quarantine! Lol

[@MOTHCAT3o4]

Awesome job! Can’t wait to see the makeup declutter

[@allisonedminster8046]

For the space by the window I would suggest putting pillows and a cushion or some plants. I know I'm less likely to put junk down on a surface that's decorated than when it's just bare. I'm loving these videos!!!

[@christinefoss5767]

You are doing great with simplifying! I wanted to mention something that helped me. Many years ago, I decided that a goal was for my family to each be able to be responsible for their own laundry. So, we all have our own basket for dirty clothes and at age 10 each of my kids learned to wash, dry, fold and put away their own clothes. Obviously, it was a little process of doing each step with them for awhile, but by age 10 they each got it. They enjoyed using a shirt folding thing at first, but now do not need it. They see when their basket is 3/4 to all the way full, it is time for them to do laundry. Thanks for the great inspiration videos!

[@iamashleyshavon]

Hey Angela, I’m new to your channel and I just have to say you are absolutely gorgeous! You have a beautiful home and super cute kids. I love how real you are and you have made me take a look at myself and to really sit and think of all the things I keep around for no reason at all. I look forward to all future videos as I comb through all of your past content. Have a blessed day🥰

[@kourtneyrahn3935]

Loving this series so much! I have been at this too since we are building a house and adopting this year!

[@emilykelly2815]

Yes! Stess makes clutter feel crushing. I notice clutter so much more when I'm anxious or stressed. Good job!

[@sedwards536]

Looks so great. I love to see a bit of dust, it shows it's a true clean up. Ha!!!

[@jorieroeback4498]

I've been on my declutter journey for about 2 years now. In the beginning I thought I would just declutter every area of my home and be done with it. As time has passed, though, I've found that it's more of a lifestyle than a one time thing. You really have to stay conscious of what you're bringing into your home, and continue to evaluate and purge the things you do not need to keep. It makes a HUGE difference in managing a household, and being able to stay on top of things. And it has reduced my anxiety a ton. Your room looks great! Looking forward to more of this content!

[@nicolefilipowicz8240]

SO GOOD! Proud of you for tackling this mama!

[@gaybrielfrazier2122]

This was such a satisfying video to watch . I know it has to feel so amazing to have it done !! You ROCKED it girl 😁

[@valerietheawkwardartist]

I moved last month and I wasn't trying to drag all my family of 5's stuff this time. We decluttered 25% of our things. It feels amazing to have empty space to fill with intentional items and not just making everything fit.

[@rosew7962]

Window dressings and a cushion on that shelf area would help, or a couple of plants and a small slipper chair that's easy to push out of the way. I thought we were the only ones whose bedrooms become a dumping ground, glad to see we're not alone.

[@micheledonohue9356]

I would put a couple of chairs in the sitting area for reading. Throw blanket. Lamp. Few books. Some plants on the shelf. Make it a cozy little nook. Just move the chair to access storage.

[@sethellenmayo3893]

I have been on a decluttering/minimalism journey for about 4 years and many of our spaces are in pretty good shape. But I find it's a continual process to maintain a declutterd home - especially in a tiny one like our's with our 6 (soon to be 7 people in it, lol). So I am going bact to basics and joining you in a 'deep declutter' again. Excited and inspired by your video. Also, proud of you on the jewlery declutter...that can be so tough to pair down so much!

[@phoebeallamenou2197]

I watch a lot of decluttering/cleaning videos and got to say this series is bringing me so much joy! Your coming at it with positivity and your space looks beautiful ☺️ can’t wait to see the rest!

[@ashleymckee1140]

Maybe a chair with an ottoman and lamp for a cozy reading nook in the dormer area. You could just scoot the chair over when you need to access luggage storage. Love the declutter. You made huge progress! Can we hope for decluttering videos in other areas? Can't wait for the office reveal either.

[@erintannehill]

Wow!! Great job! I think if you add something to make the window area cozy, it won’t feel as sterile to you. I love it the way it is, but I do agree that giving space a purpose will make it feel complete.

[@OhNyappyDays]

I would find right size boxes on that nook area, to hold all the nicknacks that end up not having a home of their own. Also a great place of holding stuff like folded blankets. I'd have a sitting cushion with nice fabric and blankets+pillows on the other side and ferns/plants on the other side. A comfy rug too. Then learn and enjoy a book or write a journal for a few lines per day. :)

[@reneeforsell9622]

I absolutely love, love, love this series of decluttering. I wish you could do a hundred more. I would watch every one of them. You are a beautiful lady and you have a beautiful family. Looking forward to another series.

[@MsTeisi]

Maybe put the makeup table in the window nook. Thats some good lighting.

[@schoonslow]

Hi there, I really enjoyed your video!! I grew up in a verry messy, cluttered household. Either parents blaming it on the other (now that they are divorced, it is clear that they are both very very messy in their own way). Naturally, as any child does, you take on the habits of your parents. So I started going to college in 2015, and it took me till february 2019 to finallllllly get rid of soooo much stuff! I had always been trying to clean and organize, but it was just so much, that you just can't keep up, always moving the mess around. In november 2018 I fell into a deep depression, and for me, february helped me so much! It def was not the cure, but it helped calm the chaos around me. I still call it the "great eviction". Don't get me wrong, I still struggle with messiness in my student apartment, but it is so much easier for me to have a clean-up day. I am now building on forming tidying habits, and still have a corner with all kinds of stuff that need to get sorted and get a home, but it is getting there. I wish you the best of luck with your decluttering experience, and I enjoy following along, experiencing it all over again, and also doing small tyding work. Love from Holland

[@winterbells1]

curtains and a rug I think would make that space look complete. and maybe a comfy reading chair

[@theverhoevenfamily]

Looks so fresh. And made me give a big deep breath of refreshment! Love your giant mirror! I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect one. It’s so hard. Also, I think if you put a few plants by the window but a small couch would be super sweet! I know you need to access the storage. You can, if the small couch/loveseat would slide forward. Unless you need to be in them often. If not, that’s an idea😊

[@lauramilton9785]

My advice is put two chairs in that window nook and books.A spiritual retreat corner?I know you need to access dormers for luggage but I would sacrifice and move chair which takes a moment when bags are needed.It is sterile looking in that area.Ands books are my downfall.🥰🤣You did an amazing job and you are giving me courage to go hard as well in my purging.I am excited about master bath/make up purge.Love you all Angela.God bless you.And thank you for sharing your life with us.🙏🥰💛❣️

[@anameek06]

I’ve been wanting to declutter my house for a little while now but the thought of “where do I start” just stopped me in my tracks because I was so lost and truly gave me anxiety just thinking about it. I started watching you do it and it made such a big difference for me to see you go through your things and just go after it! I’ve started to declutter and it’s like you said in this video it’s like a weight lifted off my shoulders! Thank you ❤️

[@Kate-ck9kh]

Great space for books and reading with kids under window.

[@jenniferjohnson5000]

I am loving your de-clutter videos. As I was watching, I was mentally going through dressers and closets and visualizing the things I need to go through and get rid of. You've definitely got me thinking about it, so now I need to get to it. Thanks for sharing.

[@puffpuffpig1714]

For the nook you have with the 2 storage doors. You can diy a cushion for the top of it and that can be the sitting area. I have always wanted one of those! Youre so lucky

[@jennadavis2425]

That little alcove looks like a perfect in room nursery space. Even if the snoo hadn't been sitting in it.

[@samantharowley125]

I too cleared out a jewelry armoire a lot like yours and am down to a shallow drawer with the pieces I kept. Best decision I made on that. You'll like it too.

[@edb11196]

That nook looks perfect for books, a cushion on the ledge, and some warm curtains. Reading nook.

[@judyatnip9808]

YES!!! I took the day off yesterday and my husband and I decluttered our playroom. We had a huge trash bag of old toys and baby toys that our kids have outgrown! It felt amazing!!! Have a great week!

[@30lindam]

Yes, I am decluttering my house! One area at a time...I work for school so taking advantage of being "stuck" at home. Right now I am going through years of recipes(mostly from magazines) that just need to be dealt with. Thank you for your video and positivity! I joined a cluttering/hoarding FB group, it's great! Helps to have accountability.

[@HaleyWildman]

A clean space gives me mental clarity and it is such a refreshing feeling! This series is so encouraging 💕 Now all I need is a sitter so I can clean/purge/organize along with you!

[@Mia73189]

Angela, your KZbin channels inspire me.

[@FlyingElectra]

A white carpet and nice cushions you can move if you need to access to your suitcases ! I declutter my home twice a year. You surprised me how fast you were sorting out the jewelry you wanted to keep or not !

[@kimblelavoie73]

Beautiful room & nice job! I would put the hats on that window ledge, move the gray laundry basket to that nook and downsize the huge mirror to a narrower standing mirror in one corner of the nook with some drapy curtains to make it a “dressing area”. If it were me I’d probably put a pretty cut out grate to close off the shelves because I’d rather look at that than stuff in that space.

[@MrsDavis913]

I personally think two pieces of art and curtains might look nice in the nook. So nice and tidy!

[@mackenziejordan4068]

I'd put a cushion on top of the window area for a window seat. Also, you could take the middle row on each section out and make it into drawer for storage. And add some pictures and greenary.

[@DonnaMcBroomTheriot]

Window seat. Pretty colorful print.

[@cherilynclements3188]

Great work, Angela! Your room looks like a peaceful place after decluttering!

[@katiemiller5927]

Awesome, I love it! And I LOLd in "GIRL, same" when you talked about the drywall and construction dust. Years ago I put wood floors into my condo and I swear, every time I opened up drawers and cabinets for MONTHS there would be a thick layer of dust there, hahaha! Love this video!

[@sybilbaker8196]

Sometimes I think we don’t realize just how much mental “clutter” actual clutter causes us. It is very anxiety provoking for me.

[@AmyJustGotHere]

My room is incredibly small and there is barely enough space for the things I NEED to keep (I still live with my parents), i cannot tell you how many mental breakdowns I've have walking into me room and seeing clutter

[@jessie9653]

Me too

[@TheFruitarianQueen]

So true!

[@FitWithGrace]

Oh my goodness! I adore you already! Soaking up your decluttering videos as I go through kids clothing currently... but let’s be real, SO MUCH WORK as a mama of 8 also. Looks like you are an adoptive family as well. So fun! ❤️

[@nikihawkes9950]

A hanging chair right in the middle of that awkward area would be fun and functional. You haven’t really shown a before/after so far, so I’d love to see that. As well as a shot highlighting all the things you’re letting go!

[@momschool62626]

I had finished my bedroom declutter a few weeks ago - am now targeting my kitchen, my pantry, my books and my living room and last of all - my sewing room.

[@DanaDabek]

One trick we use that might help with everyone dumping stuff in the bedroom is a clutter bin. We keep ours by our stairs, but you could keep it by the bedroom door. If anyone doesn't know where to put something, they can learn to drop it into the bin. Then when the bin is full, you can easily pick it up and distribute the contents to their spots. Bonus for us, if we can't find something it usually ends up being in the bin. I also tend to use it for quick tidies when company is coming, so I can put it all awhile later when I'm not rushing. It has 100% reduced everyone dumping things on surfaces.

[@anye76]

That little nook area...could you put a cushion or pillows on it and make a cozy reading area? Sometimes cameras don't show the actual size. That may be an option. Get a nice faux tree with a great pot, a plush throw. Might be nice. Room looks great. I fully agree with no TV. I'm trying to make my room as electric free as possible. Nice work Angie

[@MousyLeigh]

Love your channel. Always an inspiration for me making my new KZbin channel. So fun!

[@christinabasham507]

I’ve been waiting for the next decluttering video. Your room looks amazing.

[@bam-vort]

I’m loving these videos! Thank you for being real and showing the messy, dusty process-it makes this momma feel better, lol. I am definitely going to be decluttering in 2020, and your videos and the checklists on your blog are so helpful and motivating!

[@vanessajohnson-storlie2029]

Thanks for being soooo transparent!! I did the KonMarie whole house declutter 2 years ago and it had changed my life and my relation to stuff! It took me 6 months. I now discard things more quickly and have learned how to deal with clutter! And trying to teach my kids also. . . We just moved and I have been feeling like I need to do the whole house again in this new space. So I will be following along! Take moments to rest. Don’t rush it. Tackle the hard stuff last (it may be out of order).

[@KISSESFROMAFRIEND]

I love how you clean with a bath towel. I’m glad that I’m not the only one who does that.
