MINIMALIST AND HOARDER SHARE A GIANT CLOSET! DECLUTTERING DOWN TO ONLY 100 HANGERS! TIME-LAPSE!

Hello and welcome to my channel!
In today's video, I want to challenge myself to only have 100 items hanging up on my side of the closet. My husband's side, well, that is a different story.
Many of you saw my friend's closet - • SO MANY SHOES, PURSES ...
and just so you know, we have the same floor plan and therefore, the same closet.
Check out how I organize mine! You will be shocked to see how many hangers I actually wind up using.
Also, if we can get this video to over 1000 LIKES, the hubby may be motivated enough to let some things go. To be fair, he inherited his father's clothes when he passed so some of what he has is not only practical but also sentimental. Let's see if we can get him motivated to make a change!
My name is Theresa and I am a Professional Organizer that just loves to clean, tidy, organize & declutter! I am an (almost) empty-nester, my youngest son is in college and my daughter is in her mid-20's and the most awesome Special Needs kid you will ever meet. You may see her oftentimes in these videos because she loves to organize as well! I also have a husband, Keith, who has more of a hoarding tendency but I give him kudos for trying to keep up with my need to tidy!
If you know of anyone in or around Charlotte, NC that would like help tidying up and would allow me to show their progress on this channel, please shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I'd be happy to help!
Here are some links that can get you started below (I may get "credit" for some of these just so you know, but it helps my channel so Thanks!).

I like your husband's side 🤣

[@lisaloffredo8718]

I love video with your neighbor and Your kindness and non judgmental comments I think are important

[@joyfaulkner204]

Church clothes closet are a great place to donate clothing too. You motivated me to get rid of more and donate myself. Love the 100 hanger idea !

[@tishwash08]

May I make a suggestion? Next time you have clothes/ shoes to donate, will you consider donating to a shelter. Those men and women usually arrive without the finances to purchase clothes and shoes and the shelters seek to clothe them with donations. They don’t have to pay the shelter (like they would a Goodwill) for clothing. Just a thought.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

The ones I don’t get cash for will now go to my local shelter near Charlotte, NC. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@jancauthen1283]

I can't hear you to well. Have sould bar all the way up. But great video.

[@GoldStarWork]

You did so awesome Theresa. I've been decluttering over the last two years. I'm a clothes junkie for sure. I've got down to 22 pairs of shoes this time round.

[@acebella6327]

It’s hard for me

[@melissasturgis]

You should get several hat boxes from Ross to put your hats in for more room and to use those hanging organizers for something else. Make room and utilize the space that you have.

[@beckyann7572]

I did a large organization of my closet, I have the flat velvet hangers, used to get them on HSN but they also have them at many places now, saves so much room. No hanger marks on clothes, liked the finished look!

[@acebella6327]

Yes. Even Walmart have them now

[@dianasharp7793]

I love how you have all your shoes in those boxes, they are all in the same location, and you can go right to your foot-wear and easily find what you want. Awesome!

[@katd200]

Merry Christmas Eve. PS~ get your husband to paint the walls a bright white it will brighten it up

[@dianecarnevale2856]

I love how you work ❤❤

[@judysebold1436]

Awesome job

[@juliemoore6957]

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kim.firsttimemomlife]

So great that you share this! My husband isn’t a hoarder but he doesn’t get rid of his items 😅. Since we moved we are sharing a wardrobe and I just get overwhelmed by seeing al the stuff

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I so know how you feel! One day maybe they will let some stuff go. Lol.

[@elizabethbrundagemediajour150]

Dollar Tree has vacuum bags in their closet items area which you can vacuum the sentimental items. The vacuum bags are like the ones used for clothes when traveling.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I have some of those. I love them! Good idea!

[@meredithforozco2146]

I mean this in the nicest way your husband is not a hoarder having stuff doesn't make people Hoarders a lot of Hoarders have trash and they've been through some sort of traumatic incident that they start holding on to everything and overtime they just start not knowing how to let go because something they've lost something great in their life and I applaud you both cuz I thought your closet look great in the before

[@TidyWithTheresa]

My husband thanks you! ❤️

[@SpecsMcGee]

You're so right that the number of items and what minimal means is different to each person! I have a dozen pairs of shoes and don't consider myself a minimalist, but for you, 25 pairs is minimal and that is totally cool.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Exactly!!

[@peachaf]

You are so neat the dresser is a nice addition to the closet. Have had those space saving hangers. ROSS has a great selection. I have those and still unorganized. Wish you were closer and my good friend.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I am obsessed with following cleaning and organizing people on KZbin so I think that has helped. They always have good tips! Thanks for watching!

[@DionneWard]

Omg i am going from hoarder/shopping addict to minimalist and glad this video popped up on my feed 👍

[@silverlining7112]

Great work! It's a huge difference!

[@silverlining7112]

P.s. I put smaller suitcases in larger ones. Take much less space

[@TidyWithTheresa]

The ones that had smaller ones were put into the larger ones. I have too many suitcases. Lol.

[@silverlining7112]

@@TidyWithTheresa lol

[@marieb303]

Great job girl!!

[@peachaf]

Great idea for sunglasses. I am a sunglass junky. Motivation is what I need. I have not bagged my things yet.

[@Regina_RockBudgets]

I absolutely love, love that you are waiting for your hubby to go through his stuff! That is so respectful! ♥️ (Even though when I saw his side my OCD made my eye twitch!! 😂) I’m so thankful my hubby declutters whenever I do! ☺️

[@TidyWithTheresa]

He has been a challenge. He keeps EVERYTHING! Once he is ready it will make foe a great video. Lol. At least he “lets” me keep it all organized. That helps my OCD. ❤️ - I may need your hubby to chat with my hubby. 😎

[@Regina_RockBudgets]

@@TidyWithTheresa believe me, he was NOT like it when we first met. Unlike you, I didn’t organize any of his stuff!! I almost had a breakdown!! Lol He always looked at my side of the closet or my dresser and said how neat it looked. About six months into relationship, he was on board.

[@lourdesjames9289]

Great video. What kind of car do you drive? I really liked the interior! Blessings!

[@TidyWithTheresa]

VW Beetle. 😄

[@Genauish]

Have you thought about putting the sunglasses in one of the dresser drawers? You have an empty one or maybe you can combine your socks and underwear into one drawer and use the top. Great job and good luck getting your husband on board!

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Great idea!!

[@edythesandefur1298]

great job! wish i could let go like you do. i have about 300 items in my closet!

[@TidyWithTheresa]

It’s been a slow purge here. I try each season to let a little more go each time. 😎

[@Jasmine-vy8ig]

DARLING START RIGHT THE WAY GIVE AWAY , YOUR HOUSE GETTIN BIGGER, CLEAN HOUSE CLEAN MIND.

[@tefanienmuddpye345]

You could have him a blanket or quilt made with his dads shirts. That way he can still have them and the closet not be so full.

[@googletili3041]

That dress with pink, cream, wine red, orange and yellow stripe kind of pattern, I hope you didn't throw it away?! Amazing colors that suits you 💖 Oh... thank you for the inspiring video.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I love the colors too but the style isn't flattering to my potato shape. Lol. It's in the sale pile right now. :)

[@halloqueen7]

I own 140 items including underwear, pjs, coats and shoes. I also am a minimalist. ☺️

[@koko137591]

🖐🏼🙂

[@tammyrouse7422]

wow great job stuck to your guns

[@nancylou9291]

I donate to Goodwill and a food bank. The food bank takes the clothes that people donate and give the clothes for free to people who can't afford to buy clothes.

[@dianecarnevale2856]

You could consider chalk painting your dresser to give the closet a color lift...as well as painting the closet walls !

[@littlemouse9900]

Oh snap, if your husband is a hoarder I'm in trouble 🤣. I probably have the same amount of clothes as him lol

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I tease him but at least he does value what he has and it is well cared for. ❤️

[@devinthomas5671]

I love the chest of drawers

[@peachaf]

Where are your coats?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

Downstairs in my coat closet. :)

[@joseseijo7960]

In my experience velvet hangers break easily and often; not worth it.

[@jenniferpoulin3531]

I have had mine for more than 2 years and have not had an issue. Trick is that you cannot just pull your clothes off the hanger while hanging, if you remove the hanger from the rod before removing your clothes they last a long long time.

[@melissac.5948]

Try the Joy Mangano Huggable Hangers. I haven’t broken one in five years.

[@acheeryheart2622]

Was hoping for a few more really minimalist wardrobe tips so am slightly disappointed if honest. When you opened the wardrobe I thought you must be the hoarder and not the minimalist. Your final result after decluttering is what I started with before decluttering. I am now probably around half of that but still feeling I need to remove more and certainly don't feel I can call myself a minimalist yet. Would be good to see how you are with this in a couple of years time, whether you stick with this amounts of items, fill back up or reduce further. I will check back in at some point.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I am "the minimalist" in my household but am working my way down. Going down to under 100 hangers (and winding up with 60) was a win for me. Maybe I can go through it again later this year and whittle down some more. That being said, I personally, don't judge how much of a minimalist someone is by the amount they wind up with if they happen to wind up with less than they started with. It's all a personal process. Have a great New Year.

[@avidreader8792]

Minimalism isn't so much the number but how you appreciate your things. If you have a reasonable use for every article that you own then you are a minimalist. She loves her clothes and uses them all. Maybe over time she will decide to decipher further, but why declutter what you use and love? That's just wasteful

[@sharjo52]

Great job on your side! I have never seen a man have so many clothes!? Try to talk your husband into down sizing? He has enough shirts that it would take him three years to wear each one once ! Lol

[@TidyWithTheresa]

We are working on it. I think part of the problem is that she me belonged to his deceased father so they are sentimental. I may have to work on those last. Lol.

[@lisamartinez2448]

My husband is the same way. Anytime we clean out our closet I get rid of a huge trash bag or two full of clothes and he gets rid of like 3 shirts 🙄🤣

[@elizabethcoleman4265]

My step dad has a closet and 4 dressers 🤦‍♀️

[@acebella6327]

Where are your 👜 👛 …?

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I have an armoire in my bedroom that holds my purses. It’s easier that way. 😄

[@melissasturgis]

You can't be heard in this video.

[@Jasmine-vy8ig]

MEN DOESN'T WANT A GIVE ANYTHING. BUT CLOTHES CAKETS PANTS MODELS GETTINGS OLD THAT TIME TO LATE THE GIVE UP, WHEN SHOUSE GETTING OLD YOU CANT WEAR, IT WILL NOT CAMFORTABLE.

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I hope he will let things go soon!

[@kaitstickna197]

Why aren't you wearing your mask to good will though?🤦‍♀️

[@TidyWithTheresa]

I was only out of the car for 2 seconds but yes, I should have thought to wear it.
