hiii 🫶🏼 any questions about this whole minimalism process? leave your questions in the comments here & i will answer them in my next video 🤭

[@dreadedseeker6698]

Nothing is more frustrating than paying for a dumpster and realizing someone else filled it with their junk. Yes, dumping your garbage in someone else's dumpster is frowned upon. If you make someone else pay for your cleanup, it's theft.

[@709sunshine]

Was going to comment the same … I’m sure they didn’t realize this but hopefully they know not to do this now!

[@fishermanwife7086]

Exactly! That dumpster wasn't for neighborhood community use. Entitled people.

[@helloheavenleigh278]

Agreed but I don’t think one of her neighbors payed for it, it was probably put out there by the GC/new build company and honestly they prob get it all the time and have no issue ordering a new one. Still probably not the right thing to do, but it’s not like it was a family that payed for it for their own stuff.

[@Elarawen]

I also came here to say this. And then some states it’s illegal, so I most definitely would not dump your junk in somebody else is dumpster. I’m all for decluttering, but pay for somebody to come haul it off like load-up or 1-800 got junk. If you can’t afford to pay for somebody to come and take it slowly, but surely put it in your own trashcan.

[@karmiller4540]

WOW!!! You guys did an amazing job and I appreciate you for taking us through the entire process. i am happy that your mom didnt get hurt and it looks beautiful at the end. Thank you and have the very best day.

[@kenziemac]

always look forward to your sweet comments!! thank you, kar 😊🤍

[@jacklyneshallufypacheco7710]

I have just completed this whole minimize series and wow, just wow! From the first video I got my butt of the couch and started cleaning and decluttering being so totally inspired by you! I have a lot to do but I just wanted to say thank you for being a total inspiration to many 🫶🏼

[@kenziemac]

oh my gosh 🥹 this makes me so happy!! thank you so much for your sweet words. i’m so happy you got inspired 🥰🫶🏼 you go girl!!

[@jill7012]

Definitely illegal to dump in other peoples dumpsters… and also quite rude.. most people pay per load dumped so you are making them pay more for it to be dumped more often.

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

I'm a minimalist and I found your channel looking for minimalism content to inspire for the next layer of my decluttering "onion" and this series was SO satisfying to watch, thanks for sharing it! It reminds me of the massive whole house declutter we did back at the start of our minimalism journey. I can well imagine just how much of a difference this has made to your life 🎉 I've subscribed so I can follow your minimalism maintenance. Keep going! Intentional living for the win!! I love your choice of music for your videos, it's so upbeat and motivating. PS You guys have it so good with your Goodwill donations system in the US. Here in the UK, we donate to individual "Charity Shops" which are usually located in town centres. This means a donations drop off involves paying for parking and walking donations in to the shop. Some have parking at the back though, so I usually go to those!

[@kenziemac]

this comment just made my day 🥹 this means so much coming from you!! it totally has changed our lives and it makes me happy that you found this lifestyle for yourself too 🥰 glad you decided to stick around 🤍 i had no idea about your donation system there! 😭 maybe they will change it one day? 🤷🏼‍♀️🫠

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

@@kenziemac It's so lovely that you interact with your subscribers 💕 Have you watched much of Dawn from The Minimal Mom here on You Tube? In the early decluttering days as I went minimal-ish (!) on the way to minimal-ist I found her ideas so helpful. Marissa from A to Zen Life helped me achieve a level of minimalism I'm comfortable with for our family but I'm ready to go hard core on our loft (attic)!

[@kenziemac]

@@TheMinimalistTherapist oooh thank you so much for the suggestions, i will definitely go check them out 🥰

[@mjs.2000]

Hi. Just stumbled across your channel. My first video. Wow. What a big job. How great to have family available to help. This was an amazing change. Can't wait to watch other videos of yours. I love decluttering. It's freeing. Great job 👏

[@carolcooper881]

Looks so much better. I can't believe your garage looked like that when your house looks so beautiful. Great team work! Glad your mom wasn't hurt from the fall. 😮

[@kenziemac]

rightttt haha hidden spaces can get ya sometimes 🫠 she’s great, thank you 🤍

[@hopesalvador9254]

I was literally thinking “I wonder how the garage went”! So happy you posted!

[@kenziemac]

sorry it took me so long to get it posted!! i had to muster up the courage 😂🫶🏼

[@jeanettekvinlaug2772]

Is it legal to dump into any dumpster in your country? In mine it is really expensive to rent one, so it is illegal. But the garage turned out nice.

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

Same in the UK. We have to go to a recycling centre or pay for our own dumpster. We call them a "Skip" here.😅

[@taraskinner3847]

Yes, same here about it being illegal in my country/state. Since she mentioned the dumpsters being available nearby due to new construction, I think it depends on the builder(s) if it’s allowable to use them. Very nice that they are allowing the residents to use them here, but I’m sure it would not be okay if random people that don’t live there came by to dump items.

[@maralavern]

Thought I was the only one questioning this. Nice to clean out your space, but at someone else’s expense, not so nice. Someone has to pay to get those dumpsters emptied. If it’s allowed, you’re so very lucky.

[@cattia8058]

Yeah, I was shocked when she said they went down the street to "their" dumpster. Ummm not your dumpster. Then she said if you don't have dumpsters in your neighborhood, you "can find something on the side of the road. But that might be frowned upon" ya think

[@fleurdelucy434]

Yes, it is illegal and I found it appalling that she said “we’re getting it out of our house and that’s what matters”…she brought the trash into her home and now isn’t taking responsibility for properly discarding it.

[@rachelvicario6675]

Thank you for sharing! That was great motivation! I currently have my pile of donations sitting in my spare bedroom. I have it there as we have half of our garage decluttered and I don’t want to put anything else in there. 😂. However, now I messed up my spare room again. 😂. One step at a time I guess. Glad your Mom was ok and that you had all the extra hands on deck. I am so happy for you that you were able to get this process done! Great transformation! I am looking forward to the update video!

[@kenziemac]

hahaha i totally feel you, you get one space decluttered to get another room dirty until you get it out of your house 😂 thank you so much for your support, rachel 🥰

[@sherrykahn2474]

Wow!!You guys had ALOT of work to do!!The feeling of satisfaction after is so good!!!Looks really good!Glad your mom was ok!!!Have a good week!!!!😁🌷🦋🌼🐞🌻🏠🌹

Looks great!! Are you decluttering the totes on the selves as well?

[@kenziemac]

i should’ve talked about those! 🤦🏼‍♀️ those are filled with extra decor for the seasons, and we actually already went through all of it as we were putting it away in storage bins. nick built those shelves about a month ago, so we quickly went through everything while we were organizing it then 😊 everything on the shelves is good to stay!!

[@jennashome]

You weren’t joking when you said ultimate declutter!! Wow you guys killed it, would have taken me 2 days minimum 😂👏

[@cheryls.8168]

Have you considered putting all the shelving units on the back wall (the wall with the entry door to the house?)

[@kenziemac]

that’s a good idea! im not sure they’ll all fit on that wall but i will check ☺️

[@ThePerezCasita]

Girllll My garage is the same!

[@kenziemac]

glad i’m not the only one 😅

[@debradarcy5176]

Awesome video

[@caitlin9823]

Ok two more questions! 1. What’s your plan for not getting back to the clutter life? 2. Will you go through all the rooms again now that your decluttering muscles are even stronger!? Thanks girl!

[@kenziemac]

great questions! i’ll answer them in the next video 🤭

[@kimr9960]

Wow if only my husband get on track with minimalism. Pissed.

[@kenziemac]

you’re not alone girl! what got my husband on board was watching the show “the minimalists: less is now” on netflix. it shifts your perspective on the whole thing & it’s really inspiring 🤭

😱 impresionante si se puede💪

Did you go through all the bins too.

[@laurenbridgewaterevans5049]

First, I love your videos! Second, I don’t want to scare you, but also I wish I would’ve known this a year ago. My dad had two falls where we think he actually passed out temporarily due to heart issues. He just suffered cardiac arrest and thankfully made it through. If your mom truly doesn’t remember why she fell, please have her get her heart checked out! It could save her life.

[@kenziemac]

you are so sweet for caring! i am so sorry about your dad. so glad he made it!! ❤️ she actually tripped over something that was in her way, so no worries 🫶🏼 thank you so much!!

[@lisagreer9282]

I have those shelves around every wall in my garage. Unfortunately I can't get my husband to part with stuff.

[@kenziemac]

tell your husband to watch “the minimalists: less is now” on netflix. that’s what kicked my hubby into gear and got him on board with all of this 😊 it gives you a different perspective and it’s super inspiring!

[@zambranaml]

To get rid of the finer dust in the garage, just use a leaf blower and blow it all out the door.

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Girl, I don't know how you fit this into a 15 minute video!

[@kenziemac]

girllll, i don’t even know 😂 i spedddd it up that’s for sure!!

[@Hersheygirl67]

How much did you keep out of the garage?

[@kenziemac]

oh yes! i left out little pile of stuff we’re gonna sell, and we also forgot to put our lawn mower back in 😂

[@latolove25]

You could use a vacuum for all that dust if it is still bothering you later. Best way to pick it up.

[@kenziemac]

totally!! i should’ve. i just didn’t want to vacuum up a huge pile of dirt but now would be a great time to vacuum! thank you 😊

[@latolove25]

@@kenziemac oh, I totally get that!

[@ellielots3051]

Please don’t take her advice about dumping your trash in other people’s dumpster. It’s illegal and just plain rude.

[@88JPOPS]

Do you not have recycling facilites near you? That looks like an awful lot of cardboard just going in the trash 😢

I thought the same

[@raqueljoyarlkl1600]

😮😮😮😮😮

[@Hersheygirl67]

Do you remember what you put into those bins you are donating?

[@kenziemac]

yep! lots of clothes, shoes, pots, pans, plates, cups, (a lot of kitchen ware), some old home decor, random items we haven’t touched in a year, etc.

[@sheamom]

you talk about at the end of your videos that the job isn't done until the room is cleaned up. well it's also not done until you donate the items. otherwise, they just make clutter somewhere else

[@caitlin9823]

Love this video but why didn’t you just go to good will after each room was done

[@kenziemac]

we’ve probably taken likeee 3 goodwill trips before this from the other rooms in the house, this was just everything left over from that and other random crap in the garage 😂

[@dorismailloux4666]

Some helpful tips, thank you. But please drop that weird manic music over lay.
