Hoarders ❤️ Bedroom Reset for ADHD & Hoarding Behaviors

[@Minimalistmomlife]

Pepper being your constant companion is just the cutest thing.

[@louiseash5705]

I like pretty empty spaces so when you added the shelves and started putting bits on I was confused because to me it looked like you were just adding more things that would need to be maintained but then you described how empty spaces make you feel and it makes sense. You do such a great job of explaining things 💜

[@akihicks5702]

I love that you are using the butterfly system and addressing some of the places you have stored items. You have done a great job transforming them into usable spaces. The new accent pieces look beautiful.

[@janeorr3074]

Sooo happy you moved those boxes off the floor. I remember when you first placed them there. I was so happy for you with the progress you had made I didn't want to distract you from your journey. THANK YOU for the Clutterbug suggestion. I now know I because

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Clever thinking. You can regularly rotate your display in the shelf which will satisfy your creativity and give your sentimental bits the opportunity to see some daylight.

[@pinkroses135]

The bench with bins across from the dresser is a really good idea 💝

[@PhanglyPhish]

I have always been impressed by how you practice working with yourself - slowly and safely optimizing rather than trying to force a habit change that is totally against your natural brain operation. Those of us with ADHD know how impossible it feels when people suggest to just replace or change a habit! You've definitely leveled-up since discovering your clutterbug organization type 🦋 You are always an inspiration, Miss Heart! 💜🦄

[@moniquefuselier7711]

Must feel so nice to have everything looking so tidy, yet accessible and comforting to YOU! Great job!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼

[@isabellerininger6249]

I have to share that I stumbled into your channel and immediately binged that last year plus some of the early videos. So many of your explanations hit home for me….. feeling safe with childhood things around me, leaving gifts as-is to feel that appreciation over and over, reliving memories through touching objects and souvenirs…..and so many more things, are ME ! I had no idea others felt this way. I DO feel stripped away in rooms without “stuff”… physically uncomfortable and cold. Holy Hannah! I love your channel and will be watching regularly now. Subscribed✅

[@stefs3460]

You have done a great job! Also I think Miss Pepper has helped a lot because your anxiety caused the hoarding and clearly she reduces your anxiety, she even reduces mine just looking at her looking so cozy😻

[@josephdaly2015]

Wow the room looks absolutely amazing. I love when you can shop in your basement because you have some beautiful stuff. Well done to hubby on the shelf and pictures too 👏 Miss Pepper is so chilled in yer room. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏💪👍🙏💐🐈🦄

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my dearest friend 🤩🙏🏼🦄💜🌟

[@marimarigold-p8e]

Bullies said horrible and false things about you. But today you can show the world how a strong woman you are: look at the progress you have made! Your journey is extraordinary and such an inspiration for everybody is struggling with whatsoever! You have a light in your soul: so thank you for sharing it with us. I think they bullied you because they envied your shine.

[@anitachopping]

Pepper always looks so happy. We all love Pepper and she loves you. 😸💖

[@goconnor0304]

Melanie, you are becoming a master declutterer and organizer! Brava!! 👏👏👏 A question for you: am I correct in thinking that you are not using the actual gifts you were given because you are afraid you will forget who gave them to you and why? If so, may I suggest that you take a photo of the gift(s) with whatever card they came with, and if there was no card - write down on an index card who gave it to you, when, and why. Then you can store the photos in one place and actually use the gifts.

[@soak785]

All of your bedroom treasures are very pretty. I loved how you have them arranged. You have a great eye for beauty!

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

Such beautiful decor, you nailed it as usual, it looks very pretty. It seems like you got a real aha-moment when you understood that you have the butterfly organizing style, you have found a method to get it the way that works best for you. The gift basket was genious! Now you can shop for yourself from your own gifts during the year, that is a gift in itself to be reminded of friends and family even if their love not are in the physical things. :)

[@carolperdue7534]

I am really enjoying your videos! My childhood was traumatic and full of bullying. I don't have anything around me to remind me of childhood, its too triggering. Instead, I over fill my house with things that represent the adult me, that's what makes me fill safe. Its starting to get out of hand though, so I appreciate your tips and how you explain how to tailor your organizational methods with your organizational style. ❤

[@cozzy8910]

I think the best way to show love and respect to your partner and children is making the home a livable place for everyone. 💜

[@SaraPeterson]

You are so sweet. I enjoy your videos and your gentle approach. Thank you for sharing.

[@brg2743]

The bench is such a good idea! The gold cubes are so pretty!

[@debgamble8368]

Dear Miss Heart, I always marvel at how willing you are to keep growing and changing by being open to change and finding what works best for you. The way you are using the Clutterbug system is just another great example of how self aware you are. For great change to happen, we need to truly know ourselves. I can honestly say that I am not there yet, but you dear friend, certainly are! Thanks for always being the shining light.

[@scissortailcottage1862]

It really struck a cord with me when you mentioned that you felt unsafe after you decluttered a room. I could never explain that feeling. Thank you for helping me find the words…I was in an executive position and had a huge office. I ended up giving half of my office to the staff to use and moved into the private meeting room within the office. It was so strange to everyone that I didn’t enjoy the giant office…it triggered me and was stressful. I couldn’t make it feel cozy or “safe”. I’m the same way with my house. We lived in a 1200 sq ft house for 12 years. We upgraded and I can’t feel comfortable in it. It’s too empty and too idk. It has triggered my hoarding on a big way. Your channel has been so helpful. Thank you for what you do and for sharing. Your room is so cozy and personal. Love it!

[@stefs3460]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's hard when you can't communicate what's wrong to others. You're not only suffering but are isolated as well! ( I have this issue with describing my symptoms to Dr, took years to find someone who understood the symptoms I described and ordered the right blood tests that right away showed the problem and now I am getting treatment) It's awesome how she explains what's going on in her head! It's interesting too that extreme discomfort in empty space can also be a phobia called kenophobia. It's treatment is CBT or basically what H. HEART is doing on her channel. I am maybe a level 1,2 and didn't know. I don't have blocked doorways or unusable rooms or goatpaths but I definitely have too much stuff. I was trying to declutter logically and I like how she says do it emotionally and I am decluttering more that way!

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Pepper really has the ability to make your bed look cozy 💛

[@asavannah7439]

The only gifts I want is experiences, food, books or toiletries. Nothing to clutter up my house please!

[@mlwilliamsfamily]

I know you mentioned previously that you don’t close your closet. I would suggest removing the doors altogether. Would open up the flow of the room, better visual of your closet and eliminate more corners for stuff to get put until later 😉 Looks amazing!

[@sburwell75]

I just saw you on The Minimal Mom video. You did a great job of explaining how you declutter without triggering anxiety.

[@beverlyschroeder5573]

You have given me such hope. My mom was an organized...horder...or as she said collector. It has been almost six years since she passed away and I now am seeing progress after a year of being intentional and small decluttering. Thank you for being on KZbin and being open about your struggles. My depression over the last 7 years has been so hard and this past year has been the worst. Yet I have made progress. Thank you again.

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

Please know you are not alone. There are many of us out here just like you. xo

[@tashainjena]

My mom is still living, in the beginning stages of dementia. I'm 'going thru' some of her collections now. If she wants to keep something, but it is not something I want or need in day to day life (I do all the housework), I put it in a storage building.

[@amystewart9228]

Loved it… I’m sooo happy you are finding what you truly love and taking the time to get them out of the boxes!

[@lindakleiner5734]

Your bedroom is wonderful and calming. Lovely to see hubby had curated and tidied his side of the TV draws. ❤

[@sharjo52]

You decorate pretty🎉 IS your hubby willing to declutter his space in ya bedroom on video without showing his face? IF SO, that would be a complete bedroom makeover 🎉If not,he is a very kind man to help you whenever you need him.❤

[@loisbolton1800]

That looks amazing!! Your work in your master bathroom helped me to get mine organised in time for workmen to remodel the en-suite shower room. Now, it’s not perfect!! As I was putting clothes into labelled plastic bins, I could see that I can have another cull in future. But it is OK and Good Enough for now! And I am OK and Good Enough. It is great to be able to see the floor and have space to walk around. Thank you for the inspiration & modelling the process. 🙏💝💞

[@jackceli1684]

I just found your channel and I have to say I love it! Not only do you help show us how to get rid of things but you also show the reason and why we do it. I'm a lot like you in many ways as far as clutter goes and why I keep stuff! Thank you!

[@lisachaput2952]

I love how one item can transform a room; Just a little bit of space with the right items can brighten an area! Great job!❤️😁

[@merrivideo]

I love how supportive is your husband on regards your growth. That shows how much he loves you because he is willing to have a new journey with you and to get to know the improved you. Even by fixing or doing the small tasks that will mostly just impact you, he is showing his love which I would assume is acts of service.

[@bonesareheavy]

Looking good! Congrats on being featured on The Minimal Mom!

[@susannaknobloch4601]

I really appreciate your consistency, I am not there yet, but it is getting better... You are such an inspiring role-model! 👍

[@cherihendrix3076]

You’re special items look wonderful displayed on the shelves. Im so glad you used those picture frames, they bring a level of sophistication and beauty to your room you haven’t had before

[@croccatcher]

I have the same standing jewellery box

[@heavenisaheartbeataway9575]

Hi, Just wanted to congratulate you on doing such a good job in your approach to your hoarding disorder. Thank you for the taking the chance and putting yourself out there as it helps others. I am cleaning out my bedroom today. Although I haven't been diagnosed with hoarding disorder, I know I struggle to let go of things and watching your video during my meal is encouraging me to keep going. Thanks!

[@labsareperfect]

I hate so much that you were bullied so badly! My mother always told me at the beginning of school if anyone messes with you, you have my permission to punch them in the face and if the school calls you won’t get in trouble with me. I did threaten a couple of people with that knowledge but thankfully never had to actually do it! And maybe for the truly close people in your life you can ask them to give you a gift of an experience that way you have a deadline to use it and that’s one less thing to bring home! Also you are doing amazing!!

[@МарияГрек-ц4э]

I wonder, if you take down the doors of your closet and heng curtains instead, is that will be easier for you? Well done by the way.😉💕😍😘

[@Grayseee]

Thank you for the inspiration to reclaim my daughter's room. She had hoarded her closet with paper and poster board which had grown to knee-high. I finally emptied out that closet and we are going to be organizing in there. I have an opportunity to teach her a better way with her being so young.

[@meridith_daniel]

You’re doing great, Melanie! So awesome meeting you last night - hope I didn’t fan girl too hard. 😂 Hi to Pepper!

What an amazing job you've done with your room it looks so inviting and I love the way you have the no spend challenge.

[@ChristianAnneSmith]

I love how it all looks; so joyous.💕 Go, Butterfly, Go! 🦋

[@brendamontanye9877]

I wonder if it would help to take the mirror box out of it's brackets and mount it on the wall? You could find a stud to put the screws into to make it quite sturdy. That would free up the floor and make the dust bunnies easier to clean but for me (a clumsy senior, haha) it especially would help with a possible trip hazard in the path. Just an idea -- never a criticism. Great work today pulling it all together and resetting!

[@h.smith.6586]

Looks great.

[@rhondawidmer2937]

Your persistence in continually going forward is AWESOME!! :)

So tidy and organized! Another amazing transformation 💖

[@francinehogsett3065]

[@KellyLV786]

I just took the test and I’m a butterfly too.☺️

[@darcyrobb3692]

It’s absolutely fantastic how far you’ve come with your hoarding, its great!! Tho your not a minimalist be careful not to fall into the trap of buying more storage bins &/or containers &/or shelves for you’ll end up with more stuff than ypu need & can manage long term- - - Realistically we can only wear so many clothes/shoes or read, color or draw in so many books, have so many toys, etc

[@jennyjenkins877]

Thank you for saying that in a positive way. I used to be an organized hoarder so I was feeling those concerns too because that's what I would do... fit some shelves here and a cabinet there to give an overabundance of things a home and make the space appear tidy. If she and hubby are happy with it then great - a 1 in, 1 out rule will keep it manageable. I just hope she knows she's worthy of (using) the gifts that she's received and it would be a shame if they were just stashed away for years and spoiled/disintegrated.

[@inekekrul6340]

I am so proud of you!

[@Kel_Rod]

Absolutely amazing. I am looking forward to buy something similar to store my stuff.

[@wendier88]

Great job! Your room looks amazing!

[@Benkissel1]

Ms heart.... please please look into essential oils and how they are toxic to cats. Its been heavy on my heart seeing the diffuser going every week. Not judging, I just want to spread awarness and keep our kitties safe. also, you are doing such an amazing job in this room, its actually starting to look like mine with all the crystals! I think it is so important to decorate your favorite spaces with special objects that bring you joy. I myself have some hoarding tendancies, but i think ive kept that at bay with decorating my room with special curated items that ive collected over the years.

[@jcaville]

This was so inspiring and satisfying to watch! ❤

[@lisaschreiber2893]

[@beverleyholmes9792]

Hi Mel, really looking forward to the time when it becomes second nature to you to put things away not put them down! You must move on from the past and declutter all those childhood toys, it is important to look ahead and not back This will save so much of your time. Perhaps it will also mean you have nothing to post on utube too. How exciting it will be to find other interests and hobbies you can do instead of constantly cleaning the same places time and again. Good luck!

[@juliesmith668]

You room looks awesome, but it looks it's best when Pepper is in it!

[@lindamusser7370]

I tended to keep gifts in their bags and packages because I wanted to preserve that moment. I love your displays.

hi ! How about creating a wall frame where you can put your jewelery ? There is a lot of picture about it, and it's very visual, so peerfect for you :D

[@susanmunoz7688]

You our lovely Ms. Heart are doing a fantastic job and encouraging others so much,in fact you gave me the idea of taking pictures every day ❤of a area that I enjoy and feel looks so nice but notice-then that after 3 or 4 months it’s looking pretty cluttered again so I’m going to check out the photos and see what’s going on! Thank you for your kind advice, 🥰

[@davidmitchell1304]

Looks really great. Where are you putting the sunglasses? They seem to be important to you and it looked like you put them up on a high shelf with a lid.

[@shereemorgan1430]

Where did you find your bench in front of your bed. I am looking for a similar item.

[@danazzimmerman5534]

❤❤❤

[@plaisirdelanglais]

Great job! It looks beautiful.🤗

[@bethstratton3391]

Ms Heart, your bedroom looks so lovely the way you have decorated it with those beautiful family gifts and photos of your loved ones. May I suggest, however, that you be a little careful moving forward to not add too much more decorative decor, as your room could begin to look over cluttered again and as a result might become a less restful space. That said, I think your biggest accomplishment in the bedroom area is that you are now respecting the gifts given to you and not just leaving them unused, unattended to, or in piles on the floor. This is real progress that hopefully will make such a difference, especially as your bedroom room looks so tidy and organised now. I also think it’s great that you finally spent your unused gift cards on purchasing that new bench seat. It’s such a versatile and useful piece of furniture and it’s helpful for you that it provides a little extra storage too. The only thing I was left wondering however is where will you place the living room bench next Christmas when you put up your Christmas tree, now you have the other bench at the end of your bed?

[@porcelina956]

Smart move on revamping the boudoir to fit your needs and show your possessions. Finally using picture frames to have actual pictures and shelves.

[@klbennef]

Lovely job! Now come help me do mine 😁😁😘!!

It looks amaziing. What type of organizer is Hubby?

[@lauramitchell6725]

She said that they are both butterflies.

[@SalsaNube]

The bedroom looks amazing! Great job Mrs. Heart ❤️🦄!!! I would leave one of the shelving close to the floor for Miss Pepper - either the one next to the mirror, either one in the new bench. Especially there, as it is dark. Would put in a cushion or a small blanket and I am pretty confident she would love to sleep there!
