This is me noticing my relationship with social media and being accountable: While watching this video I wanted your headphones, the embroidered dress, the dresser, the pad mirror (lol), door hangers for hanging hats, a linen button-down shirt...I did not buy any of these things, but I'm trying to catch myself every time the urge to window shop arises.

[@celinepope]

Haha I just bought the art on etsy that I have been holding off on buying all summer. 😅 I definitely wait on purchases and my friends say I'm no fun at shopping bc I just point out how cute things are and walk away.

[@Shelbizleee]

I have such a love/hate response to this. But I love you for commenting it!!

[@loribirch6172]

When she said, “Maddison thinks it looks like a pad” about the mirror, I laughed out loud. I really did! 😆 I can’t unsee it.

[@Domsfun]

Yeah I’m thinking that’s cute and I think it can actually last as long as it’s used in the right theme setting which is why it works in the room. Then she said Maddison says it looks like a pad. And now all I can see is a pad! Definitely can’t unsee that.

[@lauraann7816]

Same for me ladies-- can not see it as anything but a giant pad now 😂

[@AnandaAtHome]

Your foreman and general manager, Tippy, did a great job supervising the furniture movement and reorganization of the room. Great teamwork, everyone! The hat wall and hanger was a great idea because you’re more likely to keep them in rotation. Happy crafting!

[@jackiehello]

my decluttering tip: move yearly 😂 packing everything i own always makes me realize what's important

[@elizabethbertsch3066]

😂😂😂

[@Shelbizleee]

I hard agree with this. I basically try to do that yearly with my stuff haha

[@jennylopez1368]

Please please please Shelbi make more videos on your lawn transformation, that whole process! I would love to get started on that project in my own home and don’t know where to start!

[@Charlie-of2zr]

[@popovka]

I think dividing the bedroom area with a curtain - even a white see through one or light linen one, would add the perfect amount of whimsy to the room!

[@seanaepley3180]

Either with a tension rod with curtains, or even a divider that sits on the floor on the bed side of the loft would be cool and leave space to still walk up there easily.

[@carlyandersen3588]

Decluttering tip: don't have kids or a partner (I'm like 90% serious), because I find I really can only declutter on my own behalf. My husband is not on board and my two young kids even less so. What has helped for me personally with clothes is to be really honest about what I actually wear in my life. I am trying to migrate my mindset from liking a specific item on its own and wanting to buy it (and then having to buy more items to make a whole outfit) to develop more of a capsule-style wardrobe with interchangeable pieces. I get rid of things if I don't wear them even if I like them and think about wearing them.

[@ratwhisperer8667]

Its so hard when you have pieces that are super cute but just don’t fit your look/lifestyle 😔 sometimes I end up offering them to friends so I can vicariously enjoy it through them 😅

[@zingara76]

My husband is very easy influenced to declutter. We do once a year and I find out he’s able to declutter more things than me. 😂 My children’s they just have the ability to let it go cause it doesn’t fit them. They grow so fast to get attached to any piece of clothing. Overall I’m the one with the problem. 😬

[@carlyandersen3588]

@@zingara76 wish I could say the same! My husband does not like to get rid of anything, even if it doesn't fit anymore. My kids have inherited the "dragon" hoarding gene (as I like to think of it) and really resist getting rid of their clothes (more toys). My daughter will keep shoes until they are 3 sizes too small and literally killing her feet, haha! I take matters into my own hands with the kids' things for now.

[@carlyandersen3588]

@@ratwhisperer8667 I like this idea a lot!

[@nel9732]

@@carlyandersen3588my now husband and his family LOVE to keep things and are very sentimental. I was a minimalist before I met my husband and I shared my experience with him on probably our second date. All of a sudden he started getting rid of things which im so thankful for. If you manage the home, laundry cleaning and what not (basically a homemaker) and are overwhelmed one perspective I mention to people to bring up to there partners (cuz often woman start the journey once married ) is to let them know that it’s overwhelming for you to manage certain areas cuz of how much stuff there is. And also to gently remind them that our memories aren’t in our things but our minds. Something to keep in mind though is that peoples things are often a security “blanket” and that decluttering is an emotional process and often goes hand in hand with emotional healing and or letting go of the past.

[@madisoncalzado6896]

"Thrifting is so much better in Austin than it was in San Antonio" hits wayyyy to hard for someone who lives in San Antonio 😂

[@annieway35]

One of my decluttering "hacks" that I've been practicing for more than 10 years: I bought 50 beautiful wood hangers for my closet and only have 50 clothing items hanging I donated/gave away the rest. For 10+ years I still only have have 50 hangers, 50 hangable clothing items (shirts/pants/dresses/coats/sweaters) If I buy something new, something on one of the hangers has to go. I do not hang on to old sizes and stuff that doesn't fit or might fit one day. Be realistic. One thing I learned from doing this is some older items like a suit blazer I bought from Lane Bryant at least 15 years ago still looks great. Same with some old work blouses that I still wear today, those clothes held up well and were made with quality. Whereas an Old Navy tee will get holes in it after a few washes. Quality is always better than quantity.

[@abbyelisabeth824]

I actually like the mirror but I see Madison’s point 😂😂 the room is adorable!

[@AnandaAtHome]

I like it too. Keep it. Madison is so funny. I mean…she’s not wrong. At least it doesn’t have wings.🤭

[@caro12321]

my current crochet project (that i‘m working on while watching this video) is a free hand flower vest for my sister. she‘s going to a wedding and the dress code is „colorful“ and bc it‘s a lesbian wedding i thought i would make the vest the colors of the lesbian flag :) also, for me (a queer 20 year old) it‘s a huge deal that it‘s a lesbian wedding, since here in switzerland we‘ve only had marriage equality for 2 years now and seeing couples getting married is pretty cool and healing in a way :) so the vest means a lot to me, hahaha.

[@Azet_KMN]

sorry this is random but im also swiss and also gay and also a crocheter and this made me so happy 😭

[@amandarussell6298]

My best decluttering tip is “ Would I buy this again” and “ Would I move this “

[@lithopheliax61x5]

sorry, I move and put everything in boxes, hoping that I will declutter later 😅 not my thing. And there are very few items that I would ever buy the same thing again. I was thinking g I could list them, but have to admit, it is more than a handful, but basically mainly kitchen and bathroom stuff, and weirdly the tall IKEA kallax unit, that I have used in so many apartments now as storage for the hallway. Clothing - really very little I would buy the exact same thing again, but similar items, yes sure...

[@raeraemillstone]

I always declutter by using the take it there now system. So instead of making piles of what you're going to keep as soon as you know what you're going to do with it, you take it to that place now and deal with the reality of that place

[@ElizabethChronis]

It also helps me realize when the object isn’t worth dealing with because I don’t want to do it “now”

[@raeraemillstone]

@@ElizabethChronis yes girl!! Decluttering at the speed of life ❤️❤️

[@mollyjosie5835]

Not sure if you have made this already but I am really interested in your ‘ecological yard’! I would love to see a video explaining it. Like what are those signs for? And how do you prevent the city or others from claiming it is “overgrown”? I always grew up with HOA so I’m not sure how that works but it looks beautiful!

[@natashak3387]

I sure wish I could help you declutter and organize. I love stuff like that! Lol! There is a local organization near me in Florida that supports people with autism and their families. It's a thrift store and so much more. Anything they cannot resell will go in a bin and be sent off to reuse the materials. Great little organization.

[@michellesc0711]

where in florida is this place? I have my bag of donations but i don't want it to go to goodwill.

[@elizabethtrujillo-nolan7814]

Miami, florida resident here!! Where or what is this place called?? I'd love to support!!

[@Betweengoldenhorizons]

Best thing that I just started to do is put all my clothes for different seasons in one bucket. One season=one bucket. Then I have some basics that I have out all year round. It makes it feel like I’m shopping with the stuff I forgot about. And practicing the one in, one out rule if it’s not something that I needed.

[@stephenminor4757]

You should make a video over your crafting projects and how to sustainably craft/make things! :)

[@nikaylapangburn104]

When I have a super strong urge to shop for clothing, I first reorganize my closet.. because I forget about some things I have in the back of it! 😂

[@nicoleburton3716]

It’s really difficult to sustainably crochet or knit. I’d recommend keeping the rule of not buying any new yarn until after all current projects are done, otherwise you’ll accumulate a lot of random colors and weights that may not work well together.

[@MsArtsyMeg]

Find your local craft thrift store, sometimes referred to as a creative reuse center

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I recently retired and wanted to start crocheting again, then I thought of having yarn sit around and am rethinking it!

[@shorterstax]

I have a box of stuff I need to get rid of RESPONSIBILY(not just donating, but finding a new home) right in my entry way as a reminder that I probably don’t need anything new which is annoying sometimes because I just wanna see the thrift store, but living in a small space is a good reminder not to go especially when I already have things that need to leave

[@EmilyyAnnn]

Landsend bathing suits hold up for a long time! I've had mine for 5 years and they still look brand new. They can be expensive, but with discount codes, they are reasonably priced. They come in different sizes, too.

[@melody7224]

Madison's craft room dance with tippy was the best :)

[@vysgiyi]

I was knitting a new tee shirt while watching and was surprised to see the room transform into a craft room at the end! I love that you try and do so many different crafts and are able to get supplies from a second hand craft store. We don’t have anything like that local to me but I’m hearing about more and more of them. So fingers crossed. I end up putting most of my clothes budget into buying yarn so I can make my own winter accessories, Xmas gifts, and tees, tanks, socks, and sweaters. I still buy jeans and shorts and underwear but it’s been incredibly empowering for me to be able to buy sustainable, GOTS certified, organic, or recycled fibers yarn and then make a new piece of clothing from scratch. As a plus sized woman it can be so hard to find things that fit properly and now I’m able to have clothes that I love and am comfortable wearing and I know where the yarn came from and what kind of business I’m supporting when I buy it. That said…it’s an incredibly expensive hobby once you start delving into locally produced, Small batch and small business over commercially produced yarn. But I think it’s worth it. Now if I only I can figure out a better storage solution than hidden in an ottoman….

[@whimsical_flower]

This is a good practice before vacations. When traveling I always have the urge to shop. I usually thrift, but still its mostly things I don't need. So I've implemented this as a pre-trip practice. I also end up selling things on Poshmark, which gives me more spending money.

I just saw a tiktok that said instead of keeping things that spark joy (which would be most things I own!), ask yourself “if my dog pooped on this, would I wash it off or throw it away?” 😂😂 (To be fair, I don’t like to waste things so I would probably wash most things… just gave me a chuckle 😉)

[@mindsjanne]

I heard that too And it makes sense. For would I reeeeeaaallllyyyy Wash/save it?

Great video!! The space looks fabulous!!! My decluttering tip is that I’d like to keep number of my clothes under 30. This is what I can manage well. This does not include very modest lounge, sleep and outerwear.

[@haileyhennessy5775]

I do something similar with hangers! If all my hangers are full, then no “new” clothes for me. I make myself get rid of things first (and don’t buy/acquire new hangers lol).

[@Marsolan]

@@haileyhennessy5775 good one!!

[@YukiMokazu]

I don’t necessarily have a decluttering “tip,” but I have found my motivation to clean and declutter with my existential tendencies. I believe “Swedish Death Cleaning” is a similar (if not the same) concept where you find motivation or find reason to declutter items that you don’t see friends or family wanting after your passing. It isn’t the healthiest way of thinking, but I am motivated by the idea that I would rather tackle a project myself than putting that burden on my loved ones. A little morbid… but maybe that will help someone (or maybe you will feel validated in your thoughts)!

[@ninirossau2304]

the thing I need to declutter and organise is my craft items! clothes are easy, I have 6 drawers and it fits all my clothes. looking for something a bit wider to fit the place better. my cat, an elegant tuxedo loves my suitcases and loves to scratch and sleep on top of them. I only keep what clothes I use with a few exceptions: sentimental goes in a special box. it is 4 or 5 pieces so a small box.

[@ratwhisperer8667]

Perfect timing for this video! I was JUST sitting around trying to motivate myself to declutter my closet today

[@kimwatson7463]

I recently had to declutter very quickly at the end of last year. An unexpected move in a month which included going through a huge storage unit with my parents and some of my stuff. Getting rid of stuff was a quick one second choice per item. Either sell it, donate it, keep it or give them away. It was hard but very effective!

[@thelullinthestorm]

I really like summersalt swimwear. I could be victim to greenwashing but it seems like they try harder than most brands and the fit, size inclusion and quality are top notch Also I too am a buy nothing evangelist lol. My favorite repurposing so far has been a cd storage shelf turned into shoe storage by front door and a cheap bookcase in the closet turned into shoe and bins of tights storage

[@AnythingBtOrdinary91]

Suggestion-Keep one trending piece of clothing per category in a storage box so that when trends come and go yoy don't have to rethrift if that makes sense? Ie one pair of cargo pants.

[@saraht3196]

furniture tip: i know y'all didn't have to go far, but taking the drawers out first makes the unit lighter and easier to move 😊my frugality tip is to ask myself if i will "use it x dollars worth". is it really so unique, comfortable, flattering, cute, or functional unlike anything else i own that i need to buy it? they say that 30 wears for a piece of clothing offsets the environmental costs to make it, so i imagine myself wearing it that many times (besides formal wear). as for decluttering, i'm very sentimental and it's difficult 😅but i do have a lot of things i love and i try to weed out the things i avoid reaching for. i used to donate a lot and think about how someone else could use it more, but now i'm also conscious of the idea that it could end up in a landfill instead of someone's hands :( so it's a very delicate balance

Buy Nothing is everything! I really have a lot of internal conversation before buying things. Most often when I go to stores, I decide I don't want to store or figure out how to re-home new purchases at end of life and so I just don't buy them. I think it was you or Gittemary that said "Your default answer should be no and you should have to convince yourself things are worth being purchased" This is the best advice to newbies in this lifestyle.

How I declutter clothing-too big, give it to my bigger auntie. Too small-give it to my smaller auntie or mom. One of them puts it I. Her buildings laundry room in an area dedicated to stuff someone else might want and it always goes quickly. The stuff not in good shape is cut up for fabric and the scraps used for cat bed stuffing, stuffing for decorative pillows.

[@Biankadonk]

Anytime I declutter, either the closet or office, I pull everything out either on the bed or desk so I'm forced to go through it if I need to go to bed or work. I also do this for laundry, it always goes on the bed so I have to fold it if I'm even considering going to bed. Haha.

[@zingara76]

I’m extremely sentimental, to the point I feel bad about letting go of clothes that are unwearable, you know holes or just to old to give away to sale. It breaks my heart to see them in landfills. The way I combat that is by cutting them and making Shashiko patterns on them. Then I can use them for cleaning and they loook so cute with all the designs.

best decluttering tip? declutter as you go. shirts you notice that you start to get holes in them, or shirts you don't like that you see as you do laundry, I go ahead and set aside. how do i declutter? ^ how do you talk yourself out of buying things? I wait. i tell myself, if you wait it'll be cheaper.

[@marjoriebruton6909]

I am currently working my way through my yarn stash, trying to use up everything I have before buying more yarn. After I go through my yarn I want to only buy per project rather than just buying yarn and figuring it out 😂. As I’m finishing projects I save the snipped off tails as stuffing for anigarumi and if I have a small amount of the yarn left I am winding it all together to make a random cake that can be used for making other things so none of my yarn goes to waste

Waterlust is my current fave bathing suit brand! Made from recycled plastic bottles, each design has a conservation theme (I love the mantis shrimp print), and they have full coverage bodysuits up to 3xl!

Ivory soap and oxi clean will take out just about any stain. Except ink, which is rubbing alcohol; and oil, which is de-solv-it. I’m a nanny and I’ve tried everything.

[@TurtleStormer]

I tend to go with a Marie kondo adjacent approach of things sparking joy when it comes to tops/jackets/etc. and a does it work approach for the rest. It makes me only buy shorts/pants when my current ones don’t work I also don’t buy multiple things for the same occasion unless that occasion happens frequently. I don’t need seven going out outfits if I go out maximum twice a month. I want the using what I have first and seeing where the gaps are to fuel my purchases

[@ema-b1h]

store cloths and textile raped in a fabric with some solid soap pieces and lavender it will keep them ship shape - no stains, dust, moth, animalsn smell. you wont even have to wash them. humidity catcher bagis are also helpfull. especially wolls and quality stuff even in separate one. fabric- cotton the thicker the better or 2 layers like old towels, junk textile, old big t shirts and bedsheets but wash it before. put solid soap and lavender (also other strong none staini herbs like that will help ) in different location of the pile and outside around the box. the lavender if isnt dry will just dry out naturally so its ok to put fresh just not wet.

[@kadyolson1184]

I’ve started reading “the conscious closet” by Elizabeth L. Cline. I’m only about 50% into it but so far so good! I realized I have been telling myself for YEARS that I would only allow myself to buy new clothes once I changed my body to fit a certain standard, resulting in me not having many clothes that fit well. That’s something I have been working on: allowing myself to buy clothes that fit well and make me feel good about my body regardless of its’ size. Realizing I can sell my clothes and use that money to *invest* in other pieces that bring me joy has helped alleviate the guilt of decluttering pieces that, for all intents and purposes, are fine and just don’t fit anymore. Then the book has been helping me find my style and learn what to look for when looking for quality pieces in my wardrobe. :) A Summersalt swimsuit is one of the pieces I most recently invested in! Made from recycled plastic, and I think they may have had a few other certs too. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on if they’re sustainable or not 😁

I have a goal to finish my unfinished sewing projects by the end of the year. It might not be attainable, but I’m giving it a go. (I have like 2 dozen projects 😮).

13:25 woooow 🤯 that is so true. There’s a bunch of items in my closet I don’t wear or can’t wear but I love the item. Here’s the thing though, to your point - we don’t wear items! We wear outfits - and if I can’t figure out what to wear it with, why the hell keep it?!

About the swimwear: I really like Youswim because of their 2 sizes fits all and not needing to worry of it still fits when my weight fluctuates. 😊

Every time I want to buy new clothes (new but from eBay lol) I think about decluttering my closet first and guess who doesn’t buy the clothes? 🤠🤠

Clothing wise I tend to declutter seasonally, which really means twice a year since I live in AZ its either hot or cold/chilly Lol I tend to ask myself if i didnt wear it last season am I really going to wear this time around. I have to initiate the declutter for my husband in order for it to happen. Also everything has a home, so if he wants to buy my shorts, but his dresser drawer is full then he needs to get rid of some before purchasing more. I definitely had a shopping problem back in high school/college, I have come a long way, but still have my moments of weakness. So i try to keep mine in check while keeping his in check 😅 I grew in a home where my parents did not like to throw anything away. It was a family of 7 in a small home, so it gave me hoarder vibes, but looking back it was more so because of the family size as well. I say all that to explain that I am not one to own items just for decor purposes or have a collection of coffee mugs etc. I feel like my house environment made me want to have a minimalist home, so its always an internal battle of not wanting clutter but also wanting/having craft items, enough to do something with, but not in excessive amount either if that make sense LOL my husband enjoys painting and drawing. Hes really talented and I love encouraging him, so gift wise I love buying him want he needs, but then my shopping habits come into play because I also think its part of my love language, I had the habit of going over board with the amount of supplies, such as A LOT of different size canvases, different paint brushes, copic markers, etc, so a cozy craft room is in the works to organize his supplies and give me a space to read (I wish I was artistic like him) haha I unintentionally create art clutter on his behalf. So watching your videos definitely helps me to remind myself to be more mindful with my purchases and make sure to not give into my old shopping habits (in the disguise of gift giving)

Okay best craft…I know its not the best to take a rock when you are outside BUT I’ve been motivating myself to walk everyday by finding 1 cool rock per walk I can put in my little rock tumbler and I’m making a little artwork with them all!

What bleach alternative do you use? Also, I have started an outfit idea spreadsheet to help me utilize what I have. It also helps me to identify what I gravitate towards. When I see outfits I like on Pinterest, for example, I look at what I already have that I can use to create the outfit. It’s helping me identify my style, too!

I just got a studio space with my friend and I’m going to start using natural dyes for my art!

[@alyciairlbeck3640]

Love it, looks great! Also I died at "Madison says it looks like a pad....so" 😅

[@pippy303]

I will usually wait before buying something. I don't tend to buy something at first impulse. Usually I forget about the item by the next day so I didn't even need it in the first place

I miss the secondhand craft store it Austin! Everything was so affordable.
