[@kenziemac]

any ideas on what i should do to spruce up the big blank wall in the playroom?! i cannot decide for the life of me 😅

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Leave it blank and see how you feel in a few months. Blank open un-decorated walls are like margins around text on a page. They let you focus on the other focal points without too much busy stuff.

[@kenziemac]

@@kamloopscruiser874 i like that perspective a lot actually 🤔 butttt it has been over a year and I still feel like it needs a little something more!

[@suerescino3218]

board and baton would be perfect

[@angietrammell1317]

I think while the kids are small, a fun peel and stick wallpaper would be great, then when they're older a picture frame molding wall would be pretty. 😊

[@kenziemac]

@@angietrammell1317 i like the way you think!!

[@phoebecole5482]

You are so good at decluttering! As a seasoned minimalist of many years, I am impressed by your ability to get rid of items that don't serve your family. Your fam is blessed to have you organizing! Thanks for posting

[@kenziemac]

wow 🥹 that means so much coming from you!! thanks girl 🥰

[@hospitalcakewalk]

she literally isnt tho, she just gets rid of her childrens stuff yet nothing she owns gets taken... she doesnt declutter anything

[@kenziemac]

@@hospitalcakewalk because in this video i decluttered the playroom, and you're right, i don't have baby toys for myself lol. feel free to check out the rest of the videos in this series before assuming shit 😊 p.s. decluttering is literally getting rid of stuff idk what else you expected

[@TheUpdharmagirl]

I love all the episodes in this series! There is nothing more satisfying than finally clearing all the clutter that we hide in cabinets which constantly stress us when we are reminded of them.

[@kenziemac]

you got that right! thanks for watching friend ☺️

[@cathycolegrove2893]

I love the mom life moment-you’re close to the finish line and folding the blanket and both kids get on it and you just sat down! Enjoy every moment of them being little it goes soooo fast! Mine are both grown and oldest is expecting my 1st grandchild!

[@kenziemac]

aw congratulations 😍 grandparents are so so special! i’m so glad you noticed that little moment, i was soooo over it at that point 😂 i left it in because that’s just real life 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jennifersershen927]

All the paper towel and toilet paper packaging can be recycled with grocery bags for drop off at your grocery store. Great job. Sheets can go to a dog shelter as well as old towels.

[@kenziemac]

ohhh thank you so much for this!! 🥰

[@jennashome]

Absolutely love the way you filmed this video!! You did sooo good!!! 👏

[@kenziemac]

thank you for noticing 🥰 it was so fun to make!!

[@simplynej]

I've watched a few of your minimizing videos, and I want to say how much I enjoy them. I've watched so many videos where people aren't actually minimizing anything, which isn't motivating at all. The goal in my house is open empty spaces. It's reduced cleaning time. It's lesser things TO organize and clean. I love that your motivation style is along those same lines. Keep doing what you're doing! :-)

[@kenziemac]

thank you so much! this means a lot to me 🥹 so glad you’re here 🤍

[@hopesalvador9254]

kenzie this is such a good quality video i cant believe you dont have more subscribers!! so motivating you’re doing great!

[@kenziemac]

aw thank you!! it means so much that you said that, hope 🥹♥️

[@barbarawarren9645]

Another awesome decluttering! You should be very proud of yourself and I know you will enjoy your home even more! 🥰

[@kenziemac]

thanks for all your encouragement barbara!! 🥰

[@dirttherapygardens1446]

You inspired me to get up right after watching your video and cleaned the linen closet!! I also created 2 large garbage bags of linens to go to our local thrift store and even pass some of the kid themed sheets to my grandkids!

[@kenziemac]

yesss!! you are awesome! 👊🏼 this makes me so happy, thanks for letting me know ☺️

[@h3arty]

well done, this is amazing. your efforts are incredible.

[@mickalaloeffelbein4935]

I am here for a good decluttering, don’t get me wrong, but something I’ve noticed in the community is a lot of people struggle with what to keep vs get rid of aspect. You did not seem to struggle with those decisions or we weren’t aware of them as you filmed. People want to sympathize and know they’re not the only one. By all means keeps up the great work and I hope after the whole process is finished you feel light as a feather and can breathe easier. Good luck!

[@catherineross7776]

Loved this video. So inspiring. For the wall I'd do a chair rail bead board half wall. Maybe a dark grey and could go with pictures above.

[@karenvillanueva9984]

Great job! Such an inspiration!I immediately started decluttering my apt while watching this.

[@kenziemac]

yayyy thats the goal!! ❤️

[@tonietteh2015]

Pantry and fridge look amazing ! I also plan a weeks worth of lunches and dinners and then shop for the weeks meals only It truly does result in less food waste & more thoughtful spending which helps budget the household finances You're doing a GREAT job on your different area of the house decluttering and organizing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@kenziemac]

that’s such great advice!! thank you 🤗🫶🏼

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

Well done! It looked so daunting, but you went in and conquered it all! It will be so much easier to keep tidy now, plus make it more fun for the kids to play. 🙌🏻

[@kenziemac]

it absolutely is! it takes me maybe 3 minutes to clean now, so so nice! thank so much, rebekah! 🫶🏼☺️

[@adijks5019]

I would leave the wall as it is. As for the plaids, I would use sturdy clothes hangers and hang the ones you dont use in the closet. Put the extra pillows in a basket underneath and you have gained 2 more empty baskets 😊

[@jodibillingsley]

Loving this series!

[@txspacemom765]

Great job! How about some fun peel and stick wallpaper?

[@kenziemac]

love it!! 🥰 thanks so much for your input!!

[@debradarcy5176]

Another amazing video. The rooms look so good.

[@jgerrets7862]

Wow you did so great🎉❤ it is beautiful and so peaceful now😊❤

[@kenziemac]

[@kristyuttley2991]

Definitely wallpaper on your accent wall! Maybe even inside picture molding in large sections!

[@kenziemac]

ohhhh CUTE!! love that idea!! thanks kristy 🥰🫶🏼

[@rachgeorgia9993]

I really love the aesthetic of your home👌I think do a fun wallpaper on the accent wall

[@kenziemac]

what a compliment that is 😍 thank you so so much, rach! 🫶🏼🥰

[@nickmacdonald6517]

Your edits just keep getting better! excited to see all the transformations you are making!!

[@kenziemac]

^my biggest fan 🥹 (my hubby lol)

[@ThePerezCasita]

So pretty! I think a chalkboard with a house frame, would look so cute for kiddos. I think it was in one of the magnolia home makeovers.

[@kenziemac]

i LOVE that!! i’m going to go look up some inspo right now, thanks girl! 🥰

[@maryannkilduff8659]

You rock, great job! I'm doing the same but taking forever bc of my back problem. Slow and steady for me right now!! I love the board and batten look but there are also so many new wallpaper options right now. Wallpaper is making a big comeback! I'm sure it will look fabulous, whatever you choose! Great job! ❤️

[@kenziemac]

thank you so much, mary! hey as long as you’re doing it, you’re doing great girl 🤗♥️

[@missyholz]

My first thought on the accent wall was wallpaper. You really got a lot done and out of there!!

[@kenziemac]

wallpaper would be fun for the kiddos 😊

[@stephaniehudson6780]

New subscriber from 🇬🇧, I am really enjoying your declutter series . Your spaces look great afterwards 😊

Great job. It’s always satisfying once the clutter is dealt with😀

Thank you for you. Love the explanations and the content.

[@kenziemac]

thank you for watching ♥️ you are so sweet!

10:57 your house is a home, not a storage unit. i love this advice!!

[@NaturallyGifted77]

Nice job! I saw a person on KZbin folding a fitted sheet and this person also store the sheet sets inside the pillow case

[@alanahenderson6030]

Although I do not have kids. I am so motivated watching you. I have organized so much thanks to you. :)

[@kenziemac]

aw that makes me so happy! thank you so much for taking the time to say that, alana! ☺️🫶🏼

[@jeannettecleveland5233]

Love your videos!

[@kenziemac]

thank you!❤️

[@BellaVisionsCreated]

Question for the room? How do you fold your towels? A. Three fold B. Square fold C. Roll D. Fold?

[@kenziemac]

i do a three fold! 🤗

[@sarahdesmond5697]

Great video! New subscriber. Wall borders totally transform a room and are easy to put in.

[@kenziemac]

hii! aw yay thank you for being here 🫶🏼 ohhh love that idea!!

[@Thefallenangel111]

New subscriber and let me tell you your home is beautiful and I definitely felt from your other video about depression and anxiety. I started to become aware and I felt so alone. I can be cleaning 24/7 than when I go through my fazes that’s a whole different story and decided to declutter xs 1million. Thank you for posting and sharing ❤

[@Thefallenangel111]

Also you should make a video about how you declutter and deciding what to get rid of it gets soooo overwhelming😭

[@kenziemac]

thank you for saying this, ebony! it’s always comforting to know you’re not alone ♥️ i appreciate you being here and taking the time to comment, i look forward to having you around my channel! 🥹🥰🫶🏼

[@kenziemac]

that’s a great idea! i would love to go a little more in depth of the whole mind set part of it 😊

[@athomewithpatriciavvieyra6709]

Get black board paint and do a giant chalk board for the kids. Love the decluttering.

[@kenziemac]

love that idea! 🥰

[@josephl.7]

Her cleaning is good she did for her home

[@luliferasanoska9888]

Hi Kenzie, a forest themed wall paper would be great for the playroom. 🌲

[@kenziemac]

oooh that would be cool!

[@deecasey6893]

Looks amazing

[@kenziemac]

thanks dee 🫶🏼

[@mariastathopoulos744]

I suggest placing the cleaning supplies right to the top for safety. Toddlers and pre schoolers learn to climb quickly.

[@kenziemac]

that’s a great idea!

[@micajahsmom]

Very nice home. Cute doggies and Kitties. Beautiful children.

[@kenziemac]

aw thank you so much, maggie! i appreciate that! 🥰

[@TheSilverLining22]

Board and batten would be a cute accent in that space.

[@kenziemac]

yesss that’s what i was thinking too! 🧐

[@brendasparks6234]

So happy I found your KZbin. Great video. Maybe a fun peel and stick wallpaper. Or a accent color with Waynes coding. Not sure how to spell that😂😂😂

[@kenziemac]

thank you so much! so happy you’re here 🤗 love that idea! ♥️

[@sharondumont9048]

Great job 👍🏼😉🇨🇦❤️

[@Kim_eag]

This was incredible! I don’t have children(so no playroom) , but it still motivated me to go through my apartment and purge, purge, purge. 🤍

[@kenziemac]

yayyy! that makes me so happy 🥹

[@dianazenobi2627]

I love your kid’s pictures. 14:52

[@lacioftheland5627]

I also say "drunk drawer" 😄

[@kenziemac]

haha! dang it i didn’t even realize it 😅😂

[@mrsb3194]

Maybe move the sofa onto that wall and the cube storage under the window ??

[@kenziemac]

that’s a GREAT idea!! thank you for this!! 😊🫶🏼

[@am3714]

Where are your frames and prints from. Looks great

[@kenziemac]

they’re from smallwoods home! 🤗

[@Happylife10101]

Hi kenzie great video your children toys are lovely and they will be able to play more better i think a colourful playful wall paper as it's play room 👨‍👩‍👦🤡🙈

[@kenziemac]

ahhh but nora you know me & how i love my neutrals 😅 i will consider it for the kids though 😜

[@kmorris2238]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@kathyesargent9088]

Master closet and bath?

[@kenziemac]

oh girl that video is coming up.. that might be the biggest transformation yet 😳🫠

[@annw1395]

The large, framed photos of your kids might actually fit better on that large wall instead of where they are now, scale-wise. As a senior on a fixed income, toys are expensive. Check with the grandparents (and family and friends) before getting rid of toys. Grandparents need toys at their house for the kids to play with when they're there. Animal shelters need towels, sheets, blankets. Check with them. Donate to women's shelters or boys/girls clubs. Too much ends up in the landfull at Goodwill. Everything looks wonderful.

[@kenziemac]

yes absolutely!! a lot of those toys actually went to their grandparents already 🤗 i agree with you it’s good to avoid landfill when we can 😭 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, ann!

[@sandybohannon4403]

Wallpaper!

[@h3arty]

Nice

[@parisvenecia6105]

Does anyone else notice that she trow away all none-learning toys ? A good heads up for her close ones who are invited to her children birthdays is to get them a learning thing 🤣

[@kenziemac]

The habits come - instead of the sink for mugs, how about the dishwasher - one step instead of 2. Do the whole room. No accent.

[@kenziemac]

oooh a whole room would be so fun! i like that a lot ☺️

I hope the Nicholas who was to hear about not putting toys in random places is your son and not your husband. 😬😄

I was hoping this would be about decluttering, not just throwing away childrens stuff while hoarding..

[@kenziemac]

HAHA girl what

[@hospitalcakewalk]

@@kenziemac you didnt declutter any of your stuff, just the childrens stuff... why none of your stuff?
