I Decluttered My Parent's House (and we still love each other)

[@makariespe]

This video was so much fun to make - I hope you enjoy it! :) Thanks again for watching everyone and I hope you have a great weekend! :)

[@Sendermen21]

Thank you for these videos. They are wholesome ❤

[@MalinaCC]

I love your relationship with your father and how open your dad is to decluttering! The song and laughter at the end 🥹 so silly and sweet!

[@NaturallyNikita]

Took the words from my mouth 😊

[@makariespe]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@TheCaitling]

Marie Kondo is so right when she advises to not declutter other peoples stuff but instead start in on your own stuff and then its infectious - your mom just couldn't resist getting in on the action 😂 it looks great and your dad is so talented, loved his song at the end

[@chelsichristensen]

Please make it a series!! Also your dad’s song at the end was so good!! 😂

[@makariespe]

I'm glad you liked it 😆

[@lillimuller264]

I agree it motivates me so much

[@rachelt3964]

It's like the best combination between swedish death cleaning and the Marie Kondo method! ✨

[@makariespe]

I just learned about Swedish death cleaning! Didn't even know that what we were doing 😂

[@erik....]

@@makariespe i thought directly in the beginning that it sounds a lot like "döstädning", didn't know it's not common outside of sweden.

[@karterjack4941]

Am I allowed to cry when a stranger is doing something nice for their dad and he’s open minded

[@arthurazs]

wow, the improv song was fantastic

[@verynotunique]

i need dad's throwing away song on spotify rn

[@chipchap5808]

I wish I had a Dad like this. People don't understand how amazing that is.

[@NoobSniper]

The relationship you have with your parents is absolutely beautiful 💙 Literally smiled watching the entire thing!

[@celticlass8573]

It's always so interesting to hear people say they don't need to declutter, sometimes when they've never decluttered before. I think people get used to seeing their homes in a certain way, and don't think about the details of what's in their home. It just doesn't seem like clutter to them. But once they start looking with new eyes, they start to realize there really is clutter, they had no idea they had so much stuff they didn't need, or even want!

[@juneinblack]

3 minutes in and I already feel frustrated imagining doing this with my parents...

[@makariespe]

😆

[@sarahberkner]

I did this twice in the last year because my previous employer moved offices and my parents are moving. My boss isn't attached to his stuff fortunately, he just never bothered to clean so I had to volunteer to help look through stuff or it wouldn't have gotten done. His office looked like an episode of Hoarders but at least I was getting paid. And my dad is a neatnick and both parents were proactive about getting rid of stuff so helping them was relatively a breeze.

[@Disconnecteification]

honestly this probably is gonna go down as one of the best/most fun things ur dad has have ever done! u can see the joy he has spending time with you!

[@kristenperez8298]

I like how you influenced your Mom to declutter even through she wasn't into it at the start. You did a great job! I've done this a few times in my life before moving because it HELPS a LOT.

[@franka6498]

This video is changing lives! I watched it with my new roommate, who was a bit stressed and intimidated by my urge to reorganise the house, (I just moved in and it was super cluttered), but afterwards we decluttered the whole living room and she even tentatively asked me if I could help her with her room as well! And I watched it with my mom who is now so excited to start the process together :)

[@nicolebellemore703]

I LOVE decluttering. PLEASE make this a series :)

[@makariespe]

Wooo!!!

[@micheleoster9413]

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson is the way to go. As someone who had to clean out my parent's house (dad passed, mom downsized), I can tell you it is super stressful to have to get rid of so much stuff in one go, especially when you're grieving. I have death cleaned for my kids and I continue to go through stuff every so often because I don't want them to have to get rid of all the crap I couldn't be bothered to get rid of. It's not fair to pass the burden down. My father died at 59. You never know when your time will come, it's best to lighten the load for those you may leave behind.

[@Menowy]

23:10 NOT THE BED! 🤣🤣When is it available on spotify? 😂

[@makariespe]

😂😆

[@AminaZalewska]

You have THE best parents ever. Beautiful video to watch.

[@MarcelSchreiner]

The ONE question I use to decide whether or not to keep something is: „Would I buy it again if I did not own it anymore?“ This question forces you to be honest with yourself. Thanks Makari for this feel-good video!🙃

[@sarahberkner]

That doesn't work as well for me because I'm very thrifty, also it helps me to take a while to think about whether to keep something or where's the best place to donate it.

[@bertinibb]

I really appreciated the fact that you were so respectful with your parents. Nice video!

[@Howulikethem23apples]

Such a heartwarming and lovely video and very relatable because i love doing the same thing you do: help people declutter and organize their homes 💗 Love it 🌟

[@withakiwiontop]

Your dad is a treasure! 🥺 I cried at the end. Seeing the transformation, you two pushing through the hard times, your relationship with each other and him singing in the end... This is so wholesome. Loved every second of this video ❤

[@jugglematt100]

Its very satisfying de cluttering and simplifying . Nice video .the world is messy .... its so good to have your space organized.

[@NCHCLW]

A comment like this can't even convey to you how much I enjoyed this video. Seeing decluttering and organization makes me happy but seeing the fun and love with your dad touched my inner child. Thank you.

[@aparnakulkarni1640]

This is the 'bestest' video I ever seen not only in decluttering category but in general too!! Love the love and care you and your mom dad have for each other!! And I just forgot the song.... It is toooo gooood!!

[@wrsgydhfjihjdwe325tf2]

I am the biggest fan of The Dad's Song

[@oraach]

This is a very well put together docufunmentary

[@colettenewell4634]

That was a great decluttering video. You and your dad are a hoot.

[@angeldavis2227]

I'm sobbing at the song.

[@sherryharding5792]

This is such a beautiful video on decluttering. The whole process was heartwarming and fun at the same time ( unlike others). It was so touching to see what a great relationship between father and daughter the two of you have. ❤😊

[@LillieOrozco]

Yesss. I am halfway through this video and I support a series! ❤

[@mikhailbaber522]

I love the editing. It's so good.

[@makariespe]

Thank you!!

[@mah0ne1]

That's a wonderful video and your dad is a fabulous human being :)

[@dcv9460]

It is so lovely to see this kind of Dad, daughter, and Mom bonding time, and it is awesome quality time! ❣💯

[@klthering]

Loved this video! Would love to see this be a series with your parents or anybody else that wants your help in decluttering. I hope your parents are enjoying their decluttered rooms. It is addictive and I'm sure they will want to do more! Such a gift to themselves AND to their kids.

[@gracemeneses9217]

What a fun family! And what a great job on letting go to your dad your mom got the itch next

[@SvetlanaGlazkova]

You are so nice family. It's feeling like video with kittens. Thank you.

[@nanjililiana]

This is one of my favourite videos on KZbin ever ❤

[@linayoung4595]

Something in me heals when O see sweet family relationships like this. Thank you to your dad for being a great parent (and you for being a great daughter ❤)

[@stinefication]

The song at the end was great! Loved seeing this honest interaction from decluttering with your parent.

[@lucillewagenman526]

I love seeing the loving relationship between you and your father :)

[@danielkennedy3005]

Loved Larry's song at the end. Iconic.

[@ccoeurjoli]

Vidéo pédagogique pour les parents ! 😄 et pour les enfants !!! merci ! superbe ambiance entre vous deux 🥰

[@PurpleKya]

I hope to have the kind of relationship with my kids when they're all grown up that you have with your dad ❤

[@annroviris]

This is the cutest, most entertaining, heartwarming decluttering video I’ve ever seen. Love you and your family’s relationship. Makes me want to organize my entire house. Thanks!

[@forgetfulfunctor]

This is now the Larry Espe channel and I’m here for it

[@makariespe]

You'll love the Live Laugh Larry channel 😏

[@Smiley01987]

The relationship you have with your dad is something to be so proud of! What a wholesome thing to watch.

[@katebaker8763]

And I quote your dad “i want my house and my mind to be uncluttered so i can get up in the morning and I can come down and have a cup of coffee and know what I am seeing is what I love “😢❤🎉😮😊 yesssssss my dream ! Perfect video brand new to your channel it’s wonderful ❤🎉 I haven’t both of my parents and I am now in your parents stage I only wish I had a one of my kids to help me lol you’re a good daughter ❤❤

[@aynalorenzo5113]

Oh my gosh, the decluttering song is absolutely golden! Your dad seems like such a gem.

[@AlisaShlyakhova]

It's the sweetest video I have seen! I will be rewatching again as a "feel-good movie". Thank you ❤

[@AnnaRiiS2]

This was so wholesome! I can't 😭😭

[@amandafidler6098]

This definitely should be a series❤

[@Jenna-js8si]

I absolutely love your relationship with your dad! but sometimes it makes me cry knowing my dad doesn't love me as I am and I am jealous. I will live vicariously through you both ❤ Thank you for sharing your dad with us

[@catherinelemaster3883]

You’re an amazing daughter!

[@catharinabra]

Your dad was such a good sport in this one!

[@beccaklehr5756]

Your dad's song 🤣Great video as always!

[@makariespe]

Thanks becca! :) I appreciate it :)

[@weissmanhyperion9650]

Makari is absolutely adorable.

[@alannahgraham__]

Your relationship with your dad is so beautiful 🥰

[@danirial6487]

Good job dad & daughter. And the final version of Cheating Heart of Hank Williams surprising!. Congrats from Barcelona CAT

[@the_shortround]

The ending was so sweet 🥹

[@tristonsmy2434]

Oh man, I got a few seconds in, and thought, nah, don’t think this is for me…. Luckily, I kept watching, so enjoyable as your videos are, your parents are lovely, your dad ! Well, I wish I was half as cool as him. No wonder your parents produced such a beautifully charming daughter. So enjoyable, good job all!

[@debbiemah6746]

Loved the video and the topic; AND definitely love this relationship! Their banter keeps me smiling!

[@gabrielbeyrer2085]

Love the marimba at the start of the Video

[@PeterPanosososos]

Amazing. The film. Your parents (especially your dad). You as a daughter and content creator. Thanks!

[@dovakhinn-cw7pf]

this made me want to build a better relationship with my parents. i smiled the whole time :)

[@GardenerPhyl]

Seriously the best decluttering video I’ve ever watched. Kudos to you, your Dad & Mom!

[@smileart37]

5:47 love the nhaught yiii-ehht. I could see the love. 7:45 YES!! Please make this a series if all participating parties are up for it!! I’m having so much fun watching this. 9:48 that was the most pregnant pause 😆 12:26 the Music starting synchronized with that sigh! 😆 I felt that. 18:51 NOW THAT’S SYNCHRONIZED 🙌🏽 21:28 I absolutely LOVE your dad’s spontaneous song writing - the BEST lyrics and last line and I love your laughter with it. 😆 I adore your dynamic with your parents. We see you more with your dad in this video (obviously), but even with your mom’s involvement it makes me beam. I want to do this with my parents. Because like your dad said-anyone can do this!🎉

[@makariespe]

"nhaught yii-ehht" 😂😂

[@margiegalaviz7101]

Awesome job... That song at the end was the cherry on the top...😊

[@stephaniealisamccall3120]

I love your content. Especially the videos you capture with your father. It's so wholesome and happy. I lost my father three years ago. Cherish every second you have with him.

[@wberesheimpwb5117]

Larry's song at the end was a great touch!

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

I loved this so much!! Your Dads song was the sweetest! Yay for pimping out your parents!

[@makariespe]

😆

[@jennyjenkins877]

I've been obsessed with and watching videos about decluttering and organizing for the past 5 years. I only found your channel because my daughter recommended it but now our worlds collide with this amazing video!

[@MayWonder]

your dad's music is fire. I loved this video!

[@makariespe]

hahah - he read this outloud to me yesterday. It was hilarious

[@deltafox1]

Your dad is funny.

[@makariespe]

+1

[@danajh6216]

9:37 the Makari x Only murders in the building crossover was so unexpected but sooooo fitting

[@makariespe]

😏

[@MarcusRobertsonTwo]

Decluttering is like exercise. If I can muster the energy to do it, I feel much better afterwards. Good music is also a great help.

[@jenakjlo3859]

I was planning on liking it at the end...but when dad's song started the like happened immediately. Made the whole show!

[@gracerodriguez6869]

You did such a great job and still had fun with your parents

[@imperfectlyRory]

Love this so much! Some of those moments are just waaaay too familiar. 😂 My mum and I always watch your videos together (It’s basically appointment tv at this point). We were constantly cracking up. I swear we’ve had some of those same conversations (fuses for… something. Yup.) One tip for keeping those gorgeously clear drawers and surfaces tidy: block spaces by either putting something there to store or decorate with (like placing a bowl, vase or candle on top of a cabinet), or by designating and physically marking those spaces to be filled at a later date (think dividers and labels, even just temporary ones). That way it feels “wrong“ to put stuff there that disrupts the decoration or doesn’t match the designation, keeping the spaces tidy for longer. It works wonders in our house. Such a brilliant video as always, and fabulous editing! Those Skillshare classes are really paying off 😁 I’d love for this to become a series!

[@debbiemah6746]

Fantastic!

[@makariespe]

Rory! Thank you for sharing this - it makes me so happy knowing mother daughter duos are watching my videos together ❤ And great tips - mom, dad, you gettin' all this?!

[@EmilyMarais]

More more more! This is exactly what i want to watch. Normal people tackling normal people problems and having normal feelings towards it

[@smileart37]

Hooray! A new Makari video! 🥳 commenting as I start watching. 😂

[@makariespe]

Heck ya! :)

[@hannahboebanna]

♥️

[@sebas9504]

Loved this video so much! So beautiful to see your relationship with your parents, it makes me want to do the same project with my parents

[@CHRIS_HITCHCOCK]

Makari Condo. What a great channel.

[@debbiemah6746]

Yes! A new nickname for Makari … can’t wait to use it on her when I detect any clutter on her behalf! 😅😉❤️

[@makariespe]

hahaha

[@thedianagoddess]

This was so cute to watch, thank you for sharing. Your parents are such good sports, and you did a ton of work to be proud of. I really appreciated this and I’m tagging it to share with my parents!

[@akirebara]

never had a dad, never had real family tbh. this video is comforting and wholesome. :)

[@Lisasplace]

Now that's some background music

[@Y_sol]

Brother sounds SO canadian. You're also so positive it's almost hard to stay sad during your videos.

[@christineburm3583]

You & your Family are blessed! I love the song 🎶 💕

[@lovenek0]

yes please to a series!! your dad is such a talented musician!

[@gurusaran7193]

Your videos are soo calming/healing dude Especially your charming smile is such a welcoming factor in every video and make the video such a joy to watch Whenever I see a new makari espe video I say "Hekc yeahhh"

[@BlueEyedBabe03]

This was absolutely a delight to watch. Your and your parents' energy is awesome. And also, the doggo is SO CUTE.

[@aug07broken]

Awe…I’m sad the video ended! What a wonderful family!! Daughter so caring and loving and sweet father and mother! Enjoyed so much! Love the touch of dad seeing!

[@rabanitoqueen]

Dad's a gem

[@lorenawilliams4229]

Love your dad, very entertaining 😂

[@alizenero7522]

I love the „she threw all my stuff away blues“ in the end 🤣❤️

[@KristinaGreenwood]

You guys are very cute! You're really lucky your dad is willing to declutter. Hopefully it'll motivate your mom.

[@fatmahancer1214]

I love this video and your dad's "declutter song" :) This video feels me like I'm watching very good documentary

[@gdkarma]

This is the most relatable video ever! And the song is an instant classic 😂 Love that your mom wasn’t ready but caught the bug and started spontaneously decluttering too. Amazing

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

Your dad is very sweet and patient! I don't know if I want to see a series about cleaning, I think it's more your relationship with your parents that makes this video good.

[@darinakornilova95]

your dads song in the end is amazingggg, ty for the video
