Get Motivated to Declutter! Before & After Garage Transformation!

[@TheCaitling]

Having been a long time subscriber, the lightning speed of the garage declutters with hubby is almost disorienting 😂😂😂

[@kbal1451]

Disorientating in a good way 🙂

[@ahoardersheart]

LOL!!!! I hope in a good way 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼✨🩷

[@stefs3460]

Wow! What a difference! Next time you have a yard sale you can set up tables of things that would get ruined by rain in the garage and then just carry them out in the morning!

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh yayyyyyyy…and we had a yard sale yesterday too 😉❤️🦄🙏🏼🌟

[@NourishmentRedacted]

I have an idea!! What about using the beautiful armoire as your home-schooling/command center? It's the first thing you see when you enter the home, and this looks like it could look a lot neater!

[@leslieporter7418]

I thought the same thing - gorgeous to look at when you first walk in the door and the cube system could be repurposed for the basement craft area.

[@tracylauer1637]

100% agree!

[@katia_g213]

She doesn't home school

[@habeebideemashayish2750]

She has two older kids in public school. Having seen her space and how she uses it, I can't imagine this working (or being useful) for her.

[@Xiroi87]

That thing is huge and dark, will take a lot of space and maybe not her style. Putting it to use as storage seems like a good option.

[@gloria7324]

This declutter was SPECTACULAR!! 😮 Where did ALL that stuff GO?!?!

[@ahoardersheart]

LOL!! A lot of it went into the trash & recycling!!! Some stuff went into the yard sale and SOLD!! 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼

[@lisaschreiber2893]

keeping the gardening stuff there is not an ADHD trait, that’s a successful person trait. ❤ one day hopefully I will be as succesful as you in that situation. great job

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you love!!! I bet you’re doing an amazing job and I’ll be cheering you on 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🩷

[@pamelapeterson5798]

That beautiful China cupboard would look really pretty in your living room! It would add height, as well. Could one of the shelving units be put to use just as easily elsewhere? the items put into the cupboard could be items from that shelving unit…books…games…memoribilia? Rather than dishes or glassware.

[@chrisdavis1754]

Agree!

[@mosha3007]

Yes, it would look good there.

[@mellowwy6]

Yes, it is very modern farmhouse style that Miss Heart loves! Maybe if the style isn't her favourite she could even paint it!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much love for sharing your great idea!! I would have to measure the space and I would definitely paint it 🦄🌟💜🙏🏼🩷✨

[@heatherarmstrong261]

It's looking so good! I think you'll be able to set up at least a few tables for your next yard sale inside the night before, so you don't have to worry about rain like the last time. And then normally, it will be all ready for any projects your hubby wants to work on.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yessssss!!! That is what we’re looking forward to 🦄🌟💜🙏🏼✨🩷

[@fionamainey7686]

Sell armoire and use money to buy open shelving to store hubby's tools and other items that stay in garage.

[@ahoardersheart]

That’s a great idea!!! I know hubby is leaning towards getting rid of it ❤️❤️

[@thelissoway6758]

Also agree with this idea.

[@Coconut0829]

Great work on the garage. Regarding the hutch, getting rid of it would be a good idea. If it’s brought in the house it will end up being a clutter collector 😬 Give it away for free. Someone else can love it ❤

[@ahoardersheart]

My hubby is leaning towards getting rid of it, it was his parents piece so it’s really his decision ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@bonesareheavy]

This garage series is soo good! I think having your gardening nook is a pretty smart idea. Here is a challenge for you: Have the gardening nook be your only gardening stuff (sans holiday yard stuff and big tools). All the stuff in the nook wasn't accessible for a year and you didn't need or use it. Something to think about. I bet you could consolidate all you will truly use to the nook. Store all the yard flags there too.

[@anitachopping]

Good to see hubby being part of the decluttering.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesss!! Feels good being a team together 🦄🌟💜🙏🏼✨🩷

[@vruth23]

Oh My Gosh... paint that hutch and put it in the kitchen in place of that food cabinet. It looks like it will fit and it is So Nice. You can absolutely fit everything you have in the pantry - into the hutch.

[@whit7862]

I definitely wouldn't paint it, it's much prettier as is.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you love for sharing your great idea with us 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🩷✨

[@ikrobiee]

Yes, we should always lift each other up. I wouldn't keep anything just because it used to be someone else's prized possession. Great job! Maybe one day you'll shift to hubby's style of decluttering.

[@ahoardersheart]

You know, maybe I will!! That will be great 🦄🌟💜🙏🏼✨🩷

[@CynthiaMiller-cc3qj]

Hi! I keep the majority of my gardening supplies in a cupboard in my garage(bought at Lowe’s). I also keep a medium size bin on the back patio to store additional trowels, clippers, etc. for use in the backyard. I also store a trash can, broom, dustpan, & shovel in the corner of the back patio for backyard work. RE: The hutch - - I would sell it in the next yard sale. If it’s been in the garage this long, that means that you do not need it or love it🌞💐

[@ahoardersheart]

I just love love your message!!! Full of good ideas & advice!! Thank you for sharing with us 🦄🌟💜🙏🏼✨🩷🌸

[@chreudinegueur6367]

You talk about different decluttering styles. I agree. There's probably a pattern to be found for Decluttering styles. Kind of like the Clutterbugs that Cas has developed for Organizing styles. I'm sure you could develop you own "bugs". Good job on collaborating with your husband.

[@ahoardersheart]

We’re thinking exactly alike my friend, I’ve been writing out ideas on different decluttering styles 😉❤️🙏🏼

I’d recommend investing in some bike hooks if at all possible, to help keep the bikes up and out of the way when the kids arent using them :D great work on this garage so far!!

[@MaePenCosplayerandauthor]

You should put the China cabinet into the basement for your crafting space.

[@ahoardersheart]

That’s a great idea!!! Thank you for sharing with us 🦄💜🙏🏼✨🩷🌟

[@minimaladjacent]

definitely a good idea to store things closest to where you use them... cass said this but I think she got it from another organizer. it def helps to have things where you use them... in our old house we only had 1 closet per floor plus no shed, garage ( and avoided the wet basement for storage) so it was tough to store things where you needed them. here I trying to store some things where we most often use them.

[@bethstratton3391]

Great job both of you the garage looks so much better. You really work so well together and achieved so much. Btw I think it makes perfect sense what you said about keeping your garden nook in the garage because it’s near where it is needed most. Excited to see what the space looks like when it is fully decluttered and organised. It was nice you found a few more things to add into the yard sale pile too.

[@ChanekaSary]

Omg so much progress! As a fellow crafter I would use the china hutch as a crafroom storage I used an old tv stand and turned it into a crafting center or as some people suggested in the living room for the command center. One thing I commonly run into with helping other people organize is that vertical space is not utilized efficiently so anything that can store things high up is a plus

[@familycarr398]

My parents had that same hutch.❤ Great job on the garage.

[@jessicaquiroz7178]

I’ll be happy when I can get my hubby on board to declutter the living room and straighten it up for the stuff that has to stay. Back story on why outside shed stuff is inside now, three years ago we got hit by Hurricane Ida and destroyed our outside shed and just haven’t been able to replace it yet due to finances. We do have a storage unit at another location but hubby doesn’t want to store certain things there due to security reasons and I understand that but I just wish he would clean and organize his things cuz it’s driving me crazy

[@carypolakowski4817]

I like to declutter the way you do. A little at a time works for me. I don’t feel a lot of emotions but there are LOTS of thoughts. Great job!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, I’m happy it helps you too!! It’s definitely easier for me too 🦄🌟💜🙏🏼✨🩷

[@MissNeverWas]

Maybe the armoire could be a craft or gift station in the basement. Great video as usual. Sure appreciate you, Miss Heart! P.S. I totally understand setting up "systems" that work for you, such as the garden table near where you have the garden.

[@croccatcher]

Amazing job as always. I’d put cabinet in basement and display some of your childhood things

[@ahoardersheart]

I love that idea too!!! Thank you for sharing with us 🦄🌟💜🌸🩷✨

[@orysyaf8337]

The garage is looking fantastic! Team work makes the dream work ❤️ I also made my garage a little better by pulling out the empty toss tossy boxes.

I'm so glad you explained the garden nook and I think it makes sense! The tossy tossy pile is excellent. ❤

[@dailywithdils]

DAYUM!!! You guys absolutely killed it in this episode! That’s such great progress and the garage is soo open and you can now see how big of a space it is. The cabinet that has been passed to you guys is actually really lovely but it depends on whether it’s going to be useful to you guys? It is lovely however and I think you guys have done so amazing. Literally CANNOT wait for the next ep! ❤❤❤

[@ahoardersheart]

lol!! Thank you love!!! I started saying that when I first started decluttering as a full blown hoarder ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@MsArtistwannabe]

I was already thinking that China hutch would be perfect in your craft studio in the basement. You could display a few handmade items as well as store some of the colorful craft supplies like ribbons. You can even make the hutch one of your creative projects by painting it. Great tossy, tossy pile. I had anxiety seeing everything taken out and spread out on the driveway. As much as I want to do that I just can’t do it.

[@emleigh1793]

I love this idea. It would help the basement to feel more like the finished space upstairs.

[@GenevievevanRooyen]

Wow. Big difference. Well done. Looking good.

[@josephdaly2015]

[@dianaklien1560]

Have you ever listened to Dana K. White? She has come up with a simple way to declutter that takes away the emotional side of it. For example: the first thing she has you do is look for trash, not should I think of it as trash, but to me I know it is trash. This helps get the hoard down, has you look and see what is actually there and gets you prepared for the next step. She also goes over certain ideas such as the container concept, clutter thresholds, and (I think she calls it) brain explosion. She is known as A Slob Comes Clean. She is a hoot.

[@alisonsmith7162]

I agree.

[@lfuentes4098]

It’s nice that your able to put out more than one bin and your trash company takes it! In our city if it doesn’t fit in the bin it doesn’t get picked up without a special pickup.

[@ahoardersheart]

A lot of towns do that around here too!! Thankfully my town is still “old school” and doesn’t do those blue or green bins!!!

[@INfectiOUSfreak]

Sell the armoire and buy Pepper a cat tree :) Or use the armoire in your living room. It could work instead of the black ikea cube unit.

Wow that’s absolutely fantastic you both did amazing❤️your husband’s family’s beautiful cabinet is gorgeous, I am on our local pages to find something similar in the UK, we were downsizing a few months ago so we donated half of our things but for reasons which were unforeseen we were unable to for now. So I thought I would buy one special piece and not replace anything else.

[@IceCreamHoldingFee]

Good job Mrs. Heart and Hubbie! Keep going! We believe in you! 💜

[@pinadelmonico]

Wow!! Amazing teamwork!!

[@tngirlz4622]

Wow, FANTASTIC work! 🥳👏👏👏👏👏The hutch might make a good storage piece directly across from the front door in your living room, if it won’t make your dining area too crowded. The hutch could replace the open cubbies for kids’ stuff. You could also replace one of the cupboards in your kitchen with the hutch. Taking it downstairs might be risky because I’ll bet it’s heavy.

[@abbystahl9592]

I may have missed it, but is the goal to be able to park a car in there? Especially with winter coming? Then I’d say for sure put the hutch in the basement for storage - maybe by the kids’ toys?

[@charishurt1768]

Garage looking fantastic congratulations Hubby and Miss Heart 💜💙🦄

[@ashcraft555]

I hope it feels good to you to see so much space opening up in the garage. Is hubby going to move his things from the basement out there so that the basement is cleaner? And will you have an address you can stack yard sale bins in the garage rather than keeping them in the basement? Both those things would allow you to see your progress in the basement more, I think. And I agree with those who suggest selling the hutch and using the money to buy open shelving for the garage. It doesn't seem like you're attached to it so exchanging it for something useful to your lives would honor his parents' gift to you.

[@susangriffin-byrne8393]

I am definitely motivated by your videos. I may not act on decluttering/cleaning right away but it is in the forefront of my mind most of the time. That means it is more likely to get done than prior to the video. Thanks!

[@melanietrester]

Hello from Germany, hi Miss Heart and Mister heart. Miouw pepper 😻..... The Garage Looks so Open, have a nice day 👋

[@djladygee]

That cabinet would go really well in the kitchen in place of current pantry cabinet. You could even paint it white to match. It can probably fit everything you got there now. Alternatively, why not use in the basement for storage and display of your childhood toys maybe? Or you put it sideways to make a visual division of basement areas, ie children playroom from storage area. It would look more homely for kids.

[@ApDiEr]

Ohh, I'm so excited for you guys. I'm doing the paperwork decluttering and organizing of my home right now, I have 15 years of papers and my partner has maybe 10. And yesterday I came to realize that no, my paper pile isn't composed of 75% useless things like every channel I watched on this subject promised me it would. I threw away maybe 5%, which were the envelopes some were still in and a few outdated bills. All my paperwork is legal, governmental, medical, crucial stuff I will absolutely need to use this year or to keep for legal or safety rasons, or professionnal material I need to keep for reference. I have many bins worth of paper I cannot throw away. And I feel kind of tired about having watched so many reputed people telling me that's not true and no one has that much. Well, I guess no one has ongoing legal battles, multiple chronic illnesses and even more doctors, multple insurances companies with paperwork to file, pets with chronic issues to keep track of, and also many professions to keep track of with each many many standards, courses, supplemental materials and so on to keep close. Guess that's why I love filing cabinets. My best friend I was ranting about this to told me I should be proud, because it meant I was doing such a good job not holding onto useless paper in the first place. But anyways, the joy I felt watching your floor so open kind of mixed with the joy I felt yesterday from filling my first 3 sub-category files in the cabinet, and gave me a new burst of confidence and motivation. Thanks so much!

[@ipitydaf00l]

It's a beautiful piece of furniture, but if you don't have a space currently for it, or you have to consider trying to make a place just to keep it, it might be better to sell it off and get things you will use. For example, a better system for your husbands tools/storage in the garage. It was hard to let my grandparents large furniture pieces go because they were beautiful, but they didn't fit the space I had in my home, and this way they went to people that would cherish them and use them properly instead of it being stored away and possibly getting ruined over time being in a garage at my house. -- I saw comments about moving it to replace your pantry, but part of your current pantry system allows you to have shelves that you decorate seasonal and that is something that brings you a lot of joy doing. A large piece of furniture that goes up rather high, will mean that those shelves would have to go and leave you without that space to decorate. Just things to consider, from what I've seen you enjoy being able to see your items in the space, that visual lets you know they are there.
