KZbin won't let me create my own comment i can only reply to someone else's comment. Loved the outcome. P.s IMO you deserved 2 headband stands because you always wear them. Can't wait for the closet transformation whenever that might be. I've been in my place for 3 years and the closet has also been on our next project list for a while now. Edit: I forgot to add the hangers 70?

[@nissaklema427]

Love, Love, Love it ❤❤ I have learned so kuch from Dana, Dawn & Cass!! I absolutely understand what you mean that this time decluttering feels different because it absolutely is!! So proud of you and it also helps me keep motivated too!

[@امريان-ر1ر]

❤🤩👍

[@madzabinga8382]

Amanda, sometimes you seem hard on yourself during these decluttering videos. I am sure you felt the overwhelm, but from my point of view, your closet looked...normal. I mean, you have a giant closet compared to me, but my tiny closet gets just like this, and spills out onto the floor. It was all looking totally normal and relatable. I noticed this during the kitchen declutter; you have so much storage space in your kitchen, and I am sure you felt the overwhelm knowing all that space had slowly been filling up, but it's just totally normal. Do people really judge you in the comments for this? You seem worried that we are going to judge you, but lordy, you are doing all the hardwork to make your home feel better to you and your fam. Who would really judge you for that? No one you need to worry about. You inspire me with every new video! I guess 50 hangers.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Aww thank you so much for your sweet comment! The comment section is usually, mostly full of kindness… but you’d be surprised at some of the comments some people leave 😬 I’ve had to get comfortable in knowing that some people will only find something wrong with anything I do, but it definitely keeps me feeling a bit vulnerable 🫠 but sweet comments like this make any of those negative ones feel way less heavy 💗 so thank you!!

[@kathyleftwich5125]

Hello Amanda, as always you bring another great video. My bathroom got flooded by a busted water heater so I am currently getting dried out with my closet but I’m slowly getting things uncluttered, it’s definitely a process. Your closet looked beautiful and you purged so much. I hope you have a blessed week. Looking forward to the next video 🥰♥️🌹🍁

[@candacestorm2172]

What a motivating video. We are 100% shufflers of stuff. 🤪

[@tinawilliams3059]

Love to watch decluttering videos but man Amanda you can have more clothes than 33 shirts. I feel like if that’s all we could afford when we were younger then it one thing and. I get it but now we have worked hard for things and we deserve to have choices in our clothing. Of course if it really makes you feel better to have less clothes than I can appreciate that. I got rid of 60 pieces of clothing this past August and I could probably go through and get rid of some more. I like choices. I guess 72 hangers.

[@terrijsm]

Yes the before wasn't bad at all..the after was amazing 👏 😍

[@cherylbooth5649]

Helpful hints When you are out shopping for items regards the home and you see certain things you like take the time to ask yourself do you really need it 😊

[@JillRB]

Whoever ends up with the shirts you decided to part with will be ever so happy with their new clothing haul! 😊

[@christinacline6069]

I love finally finding a KZbinr that has embraced Dana’s methods. I have been a follower of hers for years and her methods have absolutely changed my house.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Yess! She’s amazing!

[@thelmasj]

Seriously!! Everytime I start to watch your channel I start to clean... I listen to your voice in the background and clean everything and declutter! ❤ I truly treasure your channel 🥰 big hugs from Iceland 🎉

[@tajhambelton1228]

I don’t know why I love watching decluttering videos so much but I do 🥰

[@suecorrigan1216]

I would be in heaven to have a closet like that!!! How beautiful! What a fantastic job you did! ,❤

[@tamishiga-price5233]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that has a closet like that, you make everything look so structured when you tackle these jobs. I need to get more motivated. Yours ended up amazing as always.

[@sallycroft2191]

WOW .....serious decluttering....seeing how quickly you make decisions is inspiring!

[@kaylamotley7979]

We def have a drop zone! It drives me crazy but yes some items just have no specific space to be!

[@loripretti843]

My guess is 90 hangers!!! It looks Great!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@tamimcminn2715]

Thank you for being real with us! Take care of yourself and remember you are loved by us out here ❤️🙏🏼

[@cherylbooth5649]

I have always been a minimalist for years and find it has helped alot and I never overload my home with unwanted items Clothes,shoes , decor and bedding and more

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Amanda, you're killing it!@

[@katushajeroncic8407]

You are such an inspiration. I am moving and watching your video has helped me get rid of so much stuff that I was no longer using or needed. Thank you

[@christinathompson6312]

I really like you're hanging clothes decluttering tip. It's a good idea to see which clothes actually get worn!

[@IsabellaCassel]

To flip the hanger is so smart!! 🤯🥰 Thank you Amanda!

[@mommyheada]

We have been working on decluttering our home. It has been taking weeks but we are making a lot of progress. My sister is a bit of a hoarder but has begun to feel buried by her “stuff” so I’m super proud of her!!

[@Fivearrowshomestead24]

Because of your declutter videos I’ve been listening to Decluttering at the Speed of Life and I’m excited to start after Christmas.

[@didr0003]

I love Dana! She really motivated me to stop stuff shifting!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Love that!!

[@tiffanyable2647]

I enjoy watching your videos, thanks for the great tips!

[@mariaaleman1487]

Turning hangers is a great idea!

[@kimmartin4848]

Thank you again for giving us an insight into your home and making us feel normal. As seeing that someone as amazing as you have daily struggles and your home does get cluttered and overwhelming gives me hope for mine. Me and my 11yr old son watch all your video’s together x

[@bobbieerb3395]

I can not even imagine having a closet that big…..wow😳😳…..so nice!

[@conniehalaberda1583]

WOW....AMAZING job Amanda! Your closet looks great. My closets are TINY and not walk in at all...I do have however the luxury of an office space with a closet so I have Spring/Summer in one closet and Fall/Winter in the other. In my closets, I don't have hanging rods but have a shelf with a curved piece underneath that only allows hangers to get hung in one direction. My solution was using black and white hangers. Everything got hung on black hangers and when I wore something and re-hung it, it went on a white hanger. My closets get decluttered every 6 months (so I have gone through either a Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer season) and all the black hangers get donated then the following declutter, the white hangers get donated. It works for me and I'm AMAZED at how much I think I'm going to wear and I don't! LOVE this series and look forward to your next area to declutter❤My hanger guess is 43

[@terrisouza2692]

Hi Amanda, I'm also reading the same book. I have limited mobility (my back), a widow, 67, and raising my 3 grandsons and getting over covid. Needless to say, my plate is very full, but I wouldn't change raising these boys for the world. Anyway, I just wanted to say I stuff shift a lot and one habit I hope to break as I'm getting back to decluttering. Hopefully, as I get rid of stuff I will be able to find what's left homes. I really struggle making homes for things, and I just want to say thank you for making these videos for us. I know they will help me. Have a great week, and I will see you in the next one ❤❤

[@jayxsunflower2876]

We’re moving house in two weeks and these videos are keeping me motivated right now.. thank you so much ☺️

[@katehepburn150]

I won’t Guess how many hangers because I watched this video previously. Your closet is amazing!

[@Stephanie-lg1cm]

I watched your video last night and I’m getting up this morning to start my pre Christmas clear out!

[@lisavoegtly1475]

I totally understand what you mean about the container method of thinking, especially when it comes to clothing. I decided last year that I was only going to have a certain amount of hangers in my closet and once those were all used up, then I needed to go through my clothing every time I wanted to bring something new into my home. This has worked out, amazingly well for me and kept the clothing stock in my closet to a more manageable level. I actually even have space between my hangers, which is so satisfying to see when I open up my closet door.

[@SharonHayduk]

I can’t believe the before and after!! Great video!❤

[@rosey23607]

I started reading this book with your first video and it plus you are godsent!!! I’ll be rewatching this video while I do my closet ❤

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Ahh isn’t her book so good?! 😊

[@mimiscountrycooking1607]

Awesome job! Thanks for the great ideas ❤

[@kelsieamyot4617]

Omgoodness, I'm so early! I absolutely love your videos, I look forward to them every week 😊 you are inspiring me to declutter my house too

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thanks for being here!!

[@booklover4330]

The multiple hangers, thank you. I feel more normal now. I'm so bad with not getting rid of old clothes and getting more hangers. I don't have a huge closet like you do either so it gets cramped even faster.

[@robinmcmillin-of5ff]

I’m in the process of changing out all of my hangers from plastic to the ones like you have. I knew I had a lot of tops (self admittedly shopaholic here) but oh my goodness! I cannot believe how many plastic hangers are lying on the bed in my spare room. Your closet looks amazing and I think you have been doing an incredible job of decluttering your house. I know how hard it can be letting things go because you know the money that was spent on it but you are so right when you said it was freeing! You’re giving me tons of motivation to keep going on my house! ❤️. PS - I’m going to go more in the 80 range for the number of hangers you got rid of!

[@kellygaudet2281]

Built ins would be fabulous! Great job!

[@shelllombardi9124]

Wow I’m so envious of your closet! Doesn’t decluttering feel good! I’ve been on a spree myself and I feel lighter! I will have to look up the book that you’re reading. Thanks for continuing to motivate me!

[@jacquelinewest514]

Amanda first and foremost your home is gorgeous. You are so hard on yourself. Be kind to you. I unfortunately am a lot like Dana was I have EVERYTHING in case of…… If anyone ever needs anything, first ask me! Thank goodness you recommended Dana’s book. It is a life saver. I’ve listened to it twice!! She’s so relatable too and easy to listen too. I’ve started to implement it. Started as it’s going to take awhile to get through 60+ years of I may need that one day!! AND that’s OK. As Dana says start and it gets easier. I’ve also got her next book How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. Her third book is on my wish list. Yes I do a lot of things well in the home making department, however I feel I can always learn more and do better. Dana’s tongue in cheek self deprecating humour makes me laugh at myself as she could be talking about me so much of the time. The reason I devour all your KZbin posts is your gentle way of motivating me to do better. So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU. YOU TOTALLY ROCK. No 1 fan 🇦🇺

[@jacquiebeattie649]

Wow!!!! What a transformation!!! Love this kind of video.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

WOW....just wow....what a difference!

[@ashleyedwards5262]

Your hair looks so nice in this one!! I could never get rid of as much as you do in these! I need to get better and getting of things but I don’t think I could be so extreme!

[@sabrinagraham7794]

85 hangars!! And that looks awesome!! I’m loving it! Can’t wait til you do the makeover in your closet!

[@nataliemedeiros6165]

[@BoudicasQuest]

[@tenlamps6183]

You inspired me. I decluttered one area in my kitchen today. I'll keep going until it's all done.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Woo!! Love it!

[@shadegarden7375]

Yep….”stuff shifting”!!! That’s me! Dana is great!!

[@berlinefernandez]

I really love a closet/bedroom declutter the same as kitchen. and I still follow your hack to put the hanger hang on the other side and if you did not use it for a long time it's time to let it go. 🎉❤

[@mialove-ec7fi]

Just love watching all your motivation videos love them all Amanda and of course watching your beautiful family too

[@vickiemullen660]

Looks like you have about 65 hangers. Closet turned out really nice.

[@janspeed2071]

Wow......good job Amanda! I couldn't even begin to guess on the hanger amount!

[@annas4396]

Great job...it motivates me to get ridd off some things I have for a long long time😅

[@oct1863]

Oh my gosh Amanda! That closet declutter was Huge, and very inspiring! This has been such a great series of videos! Thanks Amanda 💕

[@ThisCrazyLife]

So happy you’ve been enjoying this declutter series!!

[@claudiaweldon9460]

I’m doing this with you …..feels so great …thanks for 6our help ❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@jeanettevega7560]

😯 WOWWWW...THAT WAS ALOT OF DECLUTTERING U DID...GREAT JOB 👍U GO GIRL. KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB. THXS FOR SHAREING 😊 MUCH APPRECIATED N MUCH LOVE ❤LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING UR NEXT VIDEO 😊

[@Schelly-il2wf]

After the holidays and my surgery recovery I am going to do this and go room by room and really decide if we love it, use it, need it and wear it. Those are the guidelines. I plan to go thru all the holiday decor before I put away. I want to keep it to the totes that we have and nothing more. I already did Halloween I don't have fall and kept 1 tote. I think you got rid of 100 hangers. I love the container concept and will use that and maybe I won't do containers after all. Great job Amanda

[@rantsulii]

You did such great job! I love the idea of giving the boys a chance to earn and learn through this. 🤩

[@susanguyer8146]

Oh my goodness! The after looks amazing! I need to read that book! FANTASTIC!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

You NEED to read it!! It’s amazing!!

[@jeannethbayle2716]

Great job, so satisfying to watch and OMG look at all those hangers. Thank you for sharing.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thank you!! 💕 So happy to hear!!

[@moniquekelsey7856]

I hope you kept some warm clothes for when you go to your mums home. I think 50 coat hangers. You have got me inspired to declutter and now my home is feeling and looking so much better. Thank you. ❤from🇦🇺

[@jessicavillarreal4778]

Oh my goodness I just love that round rug in your closet.

[@cheribecerra9046]

I was happy to hear you credit Dana K White and her container method of decluttering. Her book, Decluttering at the Speed of Life totally changed my life and our home. I could feel my stress and anxiety lift as I filled bags of things to send to charity. It was fun seeing someone else use her container method to declutter. I loved your video. I’m decluttering as I switch our house from fall to Christmas decor. Watching your video as I go really helps me keep moving! Thank you!

[@user-zi3kd4td2f]

Thank you for being relatable and motivating at the same time. ❤

[@casseysanchez120]

Well done! Now if I could get on board with letting go! lol I am a collector, but an organized one. This video does motivate me to look at things differently...will see. Thank you for the motivation🥰!!!

[@ashandu]

Great job Amanda! Looks so much more peaceful.

[@rebeccastanfield4143]

Wow!! Amanda you did awesome quite an accomplishment. i get overwhelmed a lot too when i start to declutter. sometimes i stop than i restart. it is tough letting go. loving these videos, absolutely love that you are real on here very inspiring.

[@elizabethronces1377]

Wow!! Loved seeing your end result. You did an awesome job!!!

[@billandbeverly]

I like your rule one in one out. Mine is one and two out so I really think about what I’m gonna put in because I have to get rid of two things in its place. It does tend to make you think before you buy.

[@reneeratcliffstoffer1391]

I’ve been trying to declutter. It’s been a slow process. I’ve felt so overwhelmed lately. Thanks for the motivation to keep pushing through ❤

[@madzabinga8382]

I know this comment is for Amanda, but from one struggler to another, I feel you! It can feel very overwhelming to tackle. The best thing I did to help in my own process was ask for help. I actually asked my sister, I paid her in gas money and fed her lunch everytime she came to help me. It really got me out of my own head, and kept me accountable. It can be SO overwhelming, but having someone I trust working with me, and being a "voice of reason" has really kept me motivated.

[@nicolabandell999]

Wish I had a wardrobe this big🥺 Some great decluttering tips. Love the hanger idea of turning them round and seeing that gets used… will definitely be trying that one. xx

[@jenniferklotzer2794]

Great job! My guess is 100 hangers. I used to lock Christmas presents in the trunk of my car. I implemented a few things in the last year that have kept my closet decluttered and peaceful for a whole year and still going strong. 1. I refuse to buy more hangers, so if something comes in then something has to go out (I actually have a little stash of unused hangers because I decluttered so well). 2. Only clothing and clothing related items go in my closet (I made an exception for sheets). 3. Although I have the room for all of my clothes, I put off season clothes in garment bags or my cedar chest, just feels less cluttered that way. 4. I declutter and give everything a good dusting as I bring out the current season. 5. I'm meticulous when I put my clothes away so everything stays neat and peaceful. It was annoying at first but now I find it soothing and the tidiness makes me smile. The same rules apply to my dresser drawers as well. I did a massive declutter of my closet and drawers when I lost weight last year and it took days! I never want to do that again! I invested in good hangers, drawer dividers, and honeycomb sock things (great for tank tops too!) And I haven't had to even tidy a drawer since. Getting all my laundry done and neatly put away has become a weekend reset routine.

[@LelaE34]

I’ve been decluttering too. I live in a small town and we have one thrift store here and they have fallen in love with me because I have brought them so much stuff to sell and they are making money on it so I’m really happy about that. I’m decluttering my office and my spare bedroom. The kitchen is going next and then my living room.

[@mariawilliams1314]

Wow Amanda, you did one awesome job and I know it has to feel liberating! 😊❤😊

[@JJackson625]

Listened to this while cleaning my classroom 😅... Gotta play it again when I get home. Definitely want to declutter along

[@sylviatrevino7282]

Thanks for the ideas! I’m looking for homes to all my homeless…. Love ,love the música. Gracias👍🏻

[@sweetlady6059]

Wow great motivation ! You did great in your space! I have some rooms that need tackling! Oh for my birthday on Oct 17 my friend Daniela offered to come over on Oct 16 and helped me rearrange and better organize some clutter I had in my spare room. I wasn’t able to for a long time figure out how to even get started and she came over and next thing I know we got it more organized so that I can now tackle the items and start decluttering! She was a lifesaver! One tip for those struggling to get started - have a friend who is highly efficient and a doer and get them involved in helping the process- sometimes just someone to come help organize things is motivation enough to get the ball rolling! It did for me! Now I know what section in the room needs tackling first and what areas have too many empty containers and can now get started on purging and decluttering!

[@shadegarden7375]

I forgot how big your closet is! It’s so easy to pile a lot in there!! Great changes!!

[@rubiellavanhekelen7799]

Looking at the before... your closet really needed this...after all ..your the queen of decluttering and organizing🙌 Im guessing 80 hangers

[@tessahickerson385]

Girl you inspire me. I need these videos so much. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@alexisb.8965]

My closet gets overwhelming FAST and it really sneaks up on you! It feels like you're just living your life and then WHAM! Monica Closet 😂😂

[@brittanyanderson6566]

Wow!! You got rid of sooooo much! I so badly need to declutter my closet and dressers and this transformation was the motivation I needed. Thank you! PS 87 hangers!!

[@Leglag724]

From what I saw you hold up you have about 100 hangers. Great job. I go thru my closet every 3-4 months. I have 5 house dresses (for when I'm cleaning and not going out), 15 dresses I wear year round, 3 long sleeve dresses for winter. 5 pairs of shoes including 2 pairs of sandals. I do have a light weight sweater and a heavier sweater. Instead of wearing a coat I made a heavy wrap for cold weather. I have a 4 ft standard closet and only 1/2 of it is used for my clothing, the other half has my gift wrap cart.

[@annamariegomez3975]

I need to get mine done tooo it's about to b a new year and I want to start the new year off with a clean decluttered home

[@deedexter3807]

Great Job Amanda. I was looking at this at 10:30 EST tonight and want to go into my closet now and declutter. 180 hangers ❤

[@terrijsm]

Wow 👏 you sound like me more when I was younger

[@imeldaroman2533]

I have been needing to declutter my closet forever. I've been dreading this. Seeing how nice your closet came out, I can't wait for my closet to be clean. Thank you so much!😊

[@beckyrolfson826]

Your closet looks fantastic!!! The hanger trick works great to declutter! It looks like you have about 175 empty hangers. Keep up the great work😊❤!!!!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thank you!!

[@sharleneharper993]

Excellent job Amanda, you got rid of a lot. I think you probably had at least 75 empty hangers . I have that rule in my own closet anything coming in something has to leave. I even do that with our sock and underwear drawer. It just keeps things manageable.😊

[@LausDeoLiving]

You don't know how much you cleaning your closet is helping me. This is a project I need to tackle this week! If you can do it....I can do it. Thank you sooo much! Happy THanksgiving and thank you for doing this generous giveaway

Decluttering is so satisfying!

[@tammypol4182]

I put Christmas/b-day gifts in totes in the garage. These totes are solid colored and marked gardening supplies.
