Retired Couple Asked for My Help to DOWNSIZE & FEEL LIGHTER ☺️ 💕 kitchen declutter

[@pamd4068]

Oh my goodness! I was so excited to start watching this! It's 1:30 in the morning Sunday so I fell asleep watching it. I woke back up and watched the rest at 6:00 a.m. and it's the best birthday present ever. Today's my birthday December 8th and it was so nice to watch this. It brought me so much happiness. I love the family and the parents are the icing on the top! Thank you, @Spacemakermethod❤🎂🥳

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Happy Birthday to you!!

[@pamd4068]

​Thank you so much! You made my day! I've loved your channel since the beginning before you even change names. Always the best content ever. I turned the BIG (60) today !!!😮❤​@@SpaceMakerMethod

Happy birthday 🎉

Happy birthday! 🎉

[@kaycee625]

What an exceptional family, they are so emotionally stable and agreeable, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. Decluttering can push people to a very emotionally pressured place but these guys, just like Colin and Christine, are just so incredibly well adjusted. If this was my family there would have been tears and tantrums within the first 20 minutes. I am in awe of this family.

[@wellhello1603]

Absolutely! It’s so nice to have such a nice and calm family that’s expecting, I didn’t have this vibe in my family so I’m excited for a little one to have stable environment to grow around 🥹

[@sophiabright8371]

This thought crossed my mind. So many folks with obvious MH health challenges on view... It's absolutely amazing to see such kind, hilarious, loving, intelligent, and STEADY human beings. Christine, Collin, Mary & Jack: your mere existence and lovinkindness are the salve so many are longing for. And when I think about it, frankly, all of your clients are so very lovely, sweet, smart and interesting. April, you are just a MAGNET for magnificent souls. Thank you!! P.S. Jackson & Izzy are pretty darn swell, and so 😎 😎 😎 I know you all know that you three are blessed to have each other... It's wonderful... It's marvelous to witness you special beings, living life together. ❤❤❤

[@sinkintostillness]

Totally agree, they need their own channel to teach the rest of us!

[@VectorRabbit]

So charming!

[@robyn7287]

I don’t think this couple are hoarders it’s just an accumulation of things overs years. They are moving to a smaller place so it’s essential to do this. I helped my sister unpack when they downsized. She did a cull before moving but it was amazing how much more she got rid of as we unpacked. It was 50 + years of stuff in a large house so ample storage and you just don’t notice.

[@nolasavedmysoul]

Jack is awesome. I just love this whole family. Nobody makes anyone feel bad for buying too much stuff. They all just work so well together.

[@Grace-dy4bh]

Yes! And they constantly remind each other that they don't need to keep gifts from one another just because.

[@singerjo5791]

I struggle to understand why it is so hard to declutter. The peace and calm an uncluttered house provides is so wort it.

[@danabryant3023]

"i just plunged right in to this closet!" Ohh Jack bringing the dad jokes! 😂

[@dianaarmitage512]

Jack is great! I'm going to enjoy this series!!

[@lucy2steele]

Jack is so kind and respectful to a April with his yes ma’am’s. 😊

[@christineshultz7615]

To help the algorithm.....this house is a dream for organization! All the little drawers and pull-outs!

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Yes I thought the same thing!

[@zabmcauley5647]

Cleaning products are always appreciated in buy nothing groups. It also saves a trip to the dump. Great work decluttering.

[@gaylathrom]

I love Mary and love meeting Jack. They are a fun couple with Christine as the helpful helper. They were so ready to do this. They will be wonderful grandparents who will spoil that child with love!

[@wellhello1603]

I feel the cleaning supplies can be donated, just put a facebook post and someone will collect right away! Can be a huge relief on a family with budget issues during this hectic season or someone trying to help others make a new start. A lot of people in depression rn and those who do volunteer work. Better to use them up than trash

[@jananneshipley3687]

Absolutely this! Came here to say the same thing. I just hate seeing useful things tossed into our overcrowded landfills. The buy nothing groups on facebook are great for things like this, as is donating to homeless shelters, animal shelters and pet rescues. They are always in need of cleaning supplies and it is expensive. The pet meds and other pet items can also be donated to shelters and rescues. There is no reason to waste so much stuff when it's easy to donate it. If you don't want to take it somewhere, post on a buy nothing group and let someone pick it up off your porch. They will be appreciative for it.

[@ancientsprout]

Yes! i hope they give it away to someone

[@timmytimone4726]

I like the series about older people a lot more, because it's not an accumulation out of consumerism but out of living. They are things that you accumulate over the years just in case, gifts, out of experiences, and that I find harder to get rid of. And this is a lovely couple.

[@deborahbuonomo296]

I love how smoothly this declutter is going which means that they are so ready to let go of what they’re not using. 💙

[@camkind4377]

A fun reuse for those pretty cut glass plates: I keep a glass pickle plate on my bathroom counter as a place to dump earrings and bobby pins. So pretty, and a memory of my grandmother

[@hopedanica4377]

My great grandmother's tall thin creamer holds incense sticks 😊

[@hiamanda]

Maggie is the goodest girl! I love that she was taking a tour of her corner 🥹

[@ericastivison]

This was my favorite part!!

[@johannavonthun8133]

The decluttering process of people without hoarding disorder is much more enjoyable for me personally. Love this series!

[@Mani-stzzz]

We can feel the difference between young adults and adult adults instantly like of all the series before I have never encountered retired couple and it's evident how organised the whole house is even tho it needs declutter and maybe lot of declutter but surprisingly the house is still so much nicer and calmner yall getting me

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

💛

[@crafterdeidra]

Mary and her husband work so well together. Maggie is such a sweet dog. ❤ I think Maggie approved of her corner.

[@LisaCobaltblue]

I think I am going to truly enjoy Mary, Jack and Maggies space making. Funny and cute episodes definitely ahead. ❤

[@TheJoyFinder]

LOL. Last year I did a purge of the cleaning products. Instead of chucking it I arranged it from least favourite to most. I haven't bought anything since. It's SO satisfying finishing each bottle that didn't work and knowing I don't need to relace it.

[@craftyhobbit7623]

We have a mould cleaner, oven cleaner, a floor/surface cleaner, harpic for the toilet, furniture polish, window cleaner, disinfectant and a carpet cleaner for 'doggy accidents' There are certainly some products you use more than others. I don't think I've used the window cleaner more than once since we moved here.

[@alphaxneo]

I'm only 7 minutes in, but it's so cute how they always ask "do you want/need it?" ♥also happy to see more of Mary, she was such an enjoyable part of the previous series and now Christine can be the one to help declutter, that's just so wholesome! This has helped me declutter, too. In fact, my mom is staying over at my place right now and I've given her some of my stuff 🤭

[@judyellen4412]

What a good video, April. A retired couple that actually want to get rid of stuff. They seem like a real nice family. Can’t wait to watch the pantry declutter.

[@thelove2beloved]

I love how Jack keeps asking you if you want anything. Such a sweet family!!

[@brookeb7750]

Maggie’s ears perking up at 41:04 when you say she’s been such a good girl 🥺

[@sophiabright8371]

Just coming here to make note of Maggie's extremely cute response!!! ❤❤❤

[@kimberlyakers5923]

I love how colorful their house is.

[@sophiabright8371]

Plus both wearing 🍊🍊🍊. A ray of sunshine! ☀️☀️☀️

[@beautyizeasy]

Wow! They did a great job! All that in ONE DAY! Makes me feel very motivated to do my own space! I especially appreciate Jack bringing lots of dad jokes to today’s episode. Can’t wait to see more progress in their house!

[@sharonsomers5513]

They are doing a great job decluttering. Their house is very pretty. I am so glad you decided to do other series with this family.

[@whispersofsoulxx18]

I’m so excited for this series! Everyone is in tune with each others feelings and making sure it’s okay to let go of things. I giggled when Jack said “these bowls suck!” And I love the space for Maggie’s things!

[@lorenawilliams4229]

I love how much they are getting rid of. I love that as we get older we start thinking more about what we really need and how not leaving our loved ones with burdens to deal with when we leave this earth will make the grieving process so much easier.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

This is going to be a great series!! 💕

[@lucyroberts2800]

You haven’t got another Mary to clean and pack away .

[@christinelee2127]

Absolutely Fabulous

[@Lili-ls7um]

Oh yes. Jack’s so funny, too

[@teresiavlog]

What i just said this waoh😅

[@tamarap387]

Ok, I really liked the Colin and Christine (Chrissy) series, but THIS one has made me smile and laugh even more already! (Christine's dad is a hoot!) I can't believe how watching others clear and downsize can make me feel this great! haha. Will keep watching! Hope you can come up to Canada one day.....Lots of help needed up here too!

[@GardenerPhyl]

What a treat this is after enjoying the declutter of Christine & Colin’s home. Mary & Jack are a delightful couple and so ready to declutter. I’m getting a kick out of Christine exercising her Space Maker muscles here. 💪🏼 There’s just so much love and respect in this family - love it! I’m excited for this declutter series. It will be a long series, right?

[@graceaxisa4213]

What a delightful couple! They are ready, enthusiastic, energetic and looking forward to the freedom that decluttering brings! I love this episode ❤

[@i-g77]

This family is amazing! They are so sweet and fun and such a good team. I'm so happy for them to get their houses back to enjoy... especially now for the holidays! 🥰

[@fishinghole333]

This precious couple will be such wonderful grandparents ❤

[@fianorian]

What a lovely couple. It's so nice to see a couple on the same page when it comes to clutter. Life is so much easier with less stuff too.

[@Fernando-Rodrigues91]

Early Sunday morning. I just wake up and grab my phone to check if there's a new video. I see there's a new video, I immediately get up, brush my teeth and run to the living room to watch it. I really appreciate your content!! Hugs from Brazil!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoy this episode! 💖

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I only get to watch the beginning 5-10 minutes before going to work, but I get to come home to it!

[@lizclark1998]

Lovely folks! I tackled a cupboard that has been causing me stress for MONTHS. 30 min later, I had a small bin of useful disposable dishes, had moved a good stack of reusable party decor to our party decor bin, emptied one entire medium bin, corralled all the paint tools I'll be using this week, and found the drill battery I'd been looking for. And tossed a whole bag of trash. No longer a doom cupboard, and it's going to be so much easier to maintain. We have a three generation household, and going through the same processes with the little fellows will set them up for success now and later in life as well. Love getting down to what is useful and lovely!!

[@dianaarmitage512]

Congratulations! It feels good to declutter. 👍😊

[@VanessaChapman-uh1tp]

I'm going to love this series ,Mary and her husband work well together, great start, and christine helping .how the tables have turned .

[@TheRealSabrinaDeep]

I love the honesty when she admits to not like cleaning. Sometimes after a declutter like this is becomes a great time to think about hiring a house keeper who cokes in once a week or every two weeks to take care of the things you dont want to do. I realize not everyone can afford this but often its not as much as you think and the value it can add to your life to is tremendous! Oh and a robot vacuum! I love a good robot vacuum going over my floors once a day or every second day.

[@katieallen3927]

I would love to have a person come in every other week to clean just my kitchen and bathrooms but living in a rural area that service isn’t available.

[@jodyalaniz]

There’s usually individuals who do it. Maybe you can find someone through word-of-mouth. A lot of moms do it PT to make some extra money.

[@JulesGrooveTube]

I am loving the transition from Christine & Colin's to Mary & Jack's place! I had to laugh listening to Christine go into declutter mode with her parents. Having help & a strategy makes all the difference. I can relate to the feeling of overwhelm when you try doing it yourself. On a personal note, I love Mary's style! She always looks so cute! Great job on Day 1 guys!!! Looking forward to your next section/room! 👍💪

[@popovka]

Psst, Mary: you don't need to buy specific cleaners for all the different surfaces, that's mostly marketing! Cleaning actually became more enjoyable for me with less products. Love your personality!

[@linayoung4595]

What a beautiful family. Wow. I love them. No wonder Christine is so sweet! And she found someone as sweet and calming like her dad in Collin! I'm just in awe of everyone 😮

[@caro75003]

Fantastic couple, so calm and positive! And the doggie is a sweetheart ❤ Beautiful house too. It's a pleasure to watch all these lovely people working together, smiling and joking. This new serie started with a bang 🎉

[@nualarosth8448]

This family just keeps getting cuter every time we meet them 😊

[@denisecarter5117]

I like Jack. He isn’t saying, “what the heck do you buy this stuff for?” Nice family. Maybe he is scared for you to work in the garage.

[@brendafox8866]

Jack and Mary…..YES! They are primed for this . Good for ya’ll. They so need your direction. This is going to be so great!!!!. That pantry is going to be fabulous. Going to be a great transformation…..as long as more doesn’t go to the “lake house”. 😂. Is there really a lake house or is everything in the garage???🤣 Great deserving family.

[@grannivaughn]

I love seeing Mary again! And Christine!

[@gohelio]

Cutest family ever! And such a satisfying declutter. Mary definitely worked on strengthening those decluttering muscles by helping Christine. You pick the best people to work with, April. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@dailywithdils]

I’m so happy we get to see more of everyone here! The progress is incredible and they work at such a fast pace, they’ll have their home sorted in no time! 😂❤

[@rachgeorgia9993]

I love that Mary and Jack are matching in their orange shirts.

[@tcribb5325]

I've been looking forward to this! Mary and Jack are great, with a strong and efficient start. I love Maggie's cabinet. Though its hard to hear sometimes. Esp Mary, as she can be a quiet talker. Any chance of a mic?

[@kwag3239]

I recently cleared my cleaning cupboard too. I also didn't expect to have five different floor cleaning products and four products to get rid of limescale. It adds up, but since it is still an amount to use it up, I do that. However, I don't know how it is in the US but in Germany I could ask at the animal shelter if they can use some of the cleaning products. I have donated desinfection cleaner to them before. Maybe that would also be an option instead of just bringing it to the dump.

[@fabigrossi2976]

I think, we in Germany are also less "I might need it at some point, but not now, so I just throw it away and buy it again later." We don't do that around here, we'd keep these things and that's the case all over Europe, I think.

[@Jasmine-in-my-mind]

In my city in the U.S., there is a place at the dump where you can drop off cleaning supplies, paint, etc. The city will also pick these things up at the curb for free if you call ahead. They safely dispose of anything that is not usable. For containers that are at least half full, they have a "free store" at the dump where anyone can go and select these gently used products for free. I'm sure there are other cities that do this. This is probably more common in cities than in rural areas.

[@Pubslife]

Check your local animal shelter’s website. They usually have a list of items they need. Mine took cleaning supplies, linens and even office supplies.

[@ancientsprout]

Great idea!

[@28pinkdancer]

the hardest part about being caught up with all the series is waiting the full week for the next episode! jack and mary are wonderful, I'll try not to miss colin too much

[@tessaeaton2442]

I really enjoyed this today, Mary was so helpful for her daughter, so nice to help her. also love all the colours both families enjoy, I'm from the UK but I collect fiesta ware from the US (costs me more in delivery than the item) another brilliant video April ❤

[@dianajemison105]

Mary and Jack are lovely. They seem to make those quick decisions, quickly.😅 Good job! Their space is already looking better, and they don't seem to have any qualms about letting things go.

[@AWonderfulSheep]

Aw yay I’m so glad to continue with Mary and Jack’s series. So excited for that pantry closet transition! Sending all the love ❤

I love how much Christine is enjoying this!! 😂Great family vibes

[@LaLadybug2011]

Loved this couple and their daughter helping...you can tell they are a fun and happy couple-the bright oranges and yellows in the dining room is so dang H A P P Y! And the wife is even dressed in happy colors and the husband is in a complimentary Puerto Rico shirt! I love them. This is a great video-my favorite end result was Maggie's corner-so well organized and she was sticking her whole head in there like she was reading labels! LOL. I cannot wait until the next video-organizing the pantry! YAY. It's going to be so great❤.

[@diaphanouswaffle]

A joy & a delight-thanks to you, April-and thanks to the family for allowing us to witness this process, too :) Great to see Christine back to "guest star" as well.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

What a nice couple I see where Christine got her personality. ATJ, all talk Jack, that cracked me up. Maggie is the sweetest good girl. I bet if they hung a bell on her cabinet, she’d learn about one minute to ring it when she wanted a treat. Every time they touched the treat bags she came over.

[@nelsoliz5751]

How you help so gently to declutter and make space is so beautiful and calming.

[@Jera-j4n]

Have been waiting for this whole week!!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

😁 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@marief1108]

Love that they're back for more! Storing the glass containers with the lids on help me so much so you don't have to lift 4 heavy glass bowls down together to get the one you want. Also I foresee Maggie nosing into that cabinet one day and having a party with all those treats! 😂😂

[@CosnerCoPiloting]

One thing I found when declutterring a bit of my kitchen was that mentally it was worth the investment in all the same container. The glass lock containers they have are exactly what I use and it is fabulous knowing that if I break a container/lid I have more pieces that match. I was able to get rid of all my other misc “Tupperware” short of the ones I use for entertaining/large meals/or sending people home with leftovers/treats!

[@TheJoyFinder]

I know we keep saying it, but they are such an adorable family.

[@angiechapman9816]

Been waiting for mary's video, after you mentioned it. A lovely one to watch. Lots of laughter. Great to see mother and daughter videos of declutter. Helps others too. Thanks for sharing. 🇬🇧 xx

They are on the same page and that’s great to see. So much cooperation between them. They seem like a lovely couple.

[@patpalmer1337]

Oh man, I can so relate to this....I've been decluttering for more than three years. Started with old business paper work we didn't need any more. Been working on odds and ends of things...Have sorted and categorized bins in my basement that I'm not sure what to do with. I'm also storing things for several different people, but, it is still neat, I keep it that way...My husband passed away in June, so I have been very busy with that closure. I keep thinking garage sale, but, I'm 84 in a few days and not sure I have the stamina for that. What I did do, is have a couple from the church come and look at Christmas bins to take what they thought would work for their bake sale and Christmas table sale. That was fun and I'm hoping I don't get a lot of it back! I have also donated to our local thrift shops...We have no Goodwill here...

[@timmytimone4726]

I feel your loss. I lost my father this year and little by little I am helping my mother to organize papers, get rid of his clothes and some of his things. It is difficult and painful, but I feel that every time I donate or throw something away it helps me to learn to let things go and I feel better. I just wanted to send you a hug from Spain.

[@patpalmer1337]
