✨EXTREME✨ Whole House DECLUTTER | SIMPLE METHOD | DECLUTTERING MARATHON | Shelby Marybeth

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

This video is how I decluttered EVERY SINGLE ROOM in our home! Decreasing the amount of stuff in our home has also decreased the amount of STRESS and TIME I spend cleaning. I hope this can inspire you to do some of your own decluttering! This video was made by putting all of the videos I made for my decluttering series into one SUPER long MARATHON so that its all in one place. I added chapters too so that its easier to navigate! Thank you so much for watching, I hope you ejoy this video!

[@msjulsfl]

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

I had an abusive hoarder mom, so this video was super healing. I know it sounds weird 😅. It’s just the mix of good mom, and getting rid of things was so nice for me and healed my heart in a way

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

I'm so sorry your Mom was that way ❤️ I'm glad I could help you in this way! It sounds like you're able to break that hoarding cycle!

[@patches4470]

Great job

[@rachelgracie9044]

I enjoyed this video so much. I love when it's done in small sections instead of a gigantic pile! Excellent job!!

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

It made it so much more manageable to do in small sections/each room! I'm glad you enjoyed this video!!😄

[@carinanicolas9763]

The best declutter video i ever seen. Absolut amazing!😊

[@stephanieauker1106]

I watch a lot of videos like this one and this was probably one of the best I've ever watched. First, you really committed to getting clutter out of your home. But even more than that you didn't declutter and then spend hundreds of dollars buying a bunch of organization pieces after the declutter. That may be aesthetically pleasing but it is a massive waste of money on things that you will probably not use consistently. Great work!!!

[@temi4116]

Nice declutter for starters. Still so many things. It is difficult to toss things I realize. I don't use little trays/ bowls/ dividers to separate things. I change things around,buy replacements, toss stuff frequently,and in a short time the separators, trays,dividers no longer, work because I don't ownthe same things. I realize many ppl like customizing and designing just as much as decluttering.

[@cantocant2346]

Amazing declutter! The more you got rid of the better I felt, lol!

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

I can't even describe how good it felt to get rid of all that stuff! It's made it so much easier to clean up around our home too 💕☺️

[@brandybarnett9953]

Buy nothing is awesome

[@jaytee419]

The best and most realistic declutteringvideo i’ve seen!

[@susanspringall8603]

Just found your channel. I love that you talk through your process instead of just putting on music. Thanks.

[@gumybearss]

Definitely the long tray you showed first for the bathroom counter. Many items can be easily accesed (pump bottles are able to stat put rather tan take it out). Everything also fits very well with little room for accumulating more. Plus it allows for the most usable counter space an easy to move the whole tray to wipe the counters down

[@shantedewise7345]

I loved this entire video, I did all of this to my apartment during the pandemic, and I have felt so much lighter. Like you said, I go back through things like clothes and shoes!!!😊

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️💕 Its so much easier to clean up too!

[@Jen_Stone]

This is hands-down the BEST decluttering video on KZbin (and I've watched 100s!) Thank you for explaining as you go, it's so much more helpful to hear the process rather than just watching it in a time-lapse with music. Great job!

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

Thank you so much! That means so much to me! 😊🩷 Its been over a year now since I went through everything. I'm planning on doing it again soon! It'll be interesting going through everything a second time ☺️

[@racheldyer9250]

My husband and I got battery packs off of Amazon, that have C chargers and I phone. This massively cut down on the charging cords and charging boxes we needed to keep. I absolutely love them because I hate having cords everywhere. I also have an extra one for guests. This helps a ton when traveling too! I also had my wedding dress made into 3 bears. 1 for my husband abd I to keep and one for each of my girls, that I will give them when they are ready. This got it out of our closet, while still keeping it as a momento.

[@bethclifford4314]

You did such a good job I had to watch it twice one on my breaks on reg house keeping and then a second time to declutter with you. thanks for being so honest while doing it and for being so inspiring.

[@debnelson3979]

Even though I had seen your decluttering videos before, I watched again and picked up more tips! Your firm decision(s) to let go of what you're not using challenged me to dig deeper in my home. Thanks!!

[@BeyondClaire]

I love how you stated that you use the nap time as time to get something done. It is crucial to use time when you can. While something is heating in the microwave, I say what can I do while that is cooking. Using pockets of time has changed my life! Thank you!

[@lianemartin8530]

I just got a small container that sits in my wardrobe for clothes that I no longer want. So I can now declutter anytime, when the container gets full I go through it, to sort into trash or donate. I am now at the maintain level of organizing my home 😊🎉

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

That is fantastic!! It is such an amazing feeling. I love the idea of putting the container for donations in your wardrobe. I've been saving a cardboard box from my kids diapers. I keep it in my closet and put anything we don't use anymore in there and once it's full it's super easy to take and drop off for donation.

[@Joy-zp5lv]

I´m sick and you saved me from dying of bordom. So thank you! 😁 Hugs from Germany

I hope you are feeling better this year. Love from California, USA

[@jackiegenandt6661]

Girl I can so relate to your seasonal decor!!!!! I’m watching you as I purge my whole house and all I can say is this feels so good!!!!

[@BridgettesJoyAtHome]

I have a closet for holiday decor, too. I have gotten rid of lots of ours a few years ago. I used to keep some of it in the garage. After getting rid of lots, I'm able to keep it in one closet, too. And it feels so much better! I also wanted to share that I use a small Mason jar with a lid for bandages. This way, I can keep them together and see them better, too. And if it helps, I use a small round basket on our bathroom counter for my daily make-up and make-up brushes. I'm enjoying watching your decluttering and organizing! I love to organize, too. 💚

[@Nelli-TA527]

I just subscribed to your KZbin channel... I love this video. Great tips.. old towels we use to clean then throw away.. I need to declutter every room in my apartment...

[@emmal9450]

Im a housekeeper and the way you vacuumed your closet made me so so happy gave me so much satisfaction you’re the first person on youtube I’ve seen that vacuums in a straight line im subscribed

[@arielleggett4252]

Holiday decor - I have very minimal decor. For Christmas, I have a small wooden tree that I put out on the mantel and some stuff for the Christmas tree, plus gifting supplies. I don't decorate for Halloween or any other holidays. Mostly because I don't want to manage the storage and management of the extra stuff. I do sometimes wish I was a bit more festive, but I am just not that person, LOL!

[@jenniferhuerta9824]

2 new subscribers!!! We loved this! You didn’t overthink every single item. Thank you!

[@spaghettisawce5973]

Me clicking on this not noticing the length of the video 🙂 Me finally noticing and also seeing that there are chapters 😃

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

Gotta love chapters!! I tried to keep everything organized and easy to follow for this video!

[@tanyashazam]

Hi Shelby! You have wonderful declutter videos, I love to watch you organise and discuss everything, some KZbin declutter people drag the conversation about stuff that isn't that helpful or interesting sadly, but you have a talent to make me keep listening in case I miss something you say because I love listening to you and your ideas! My suggestion with your dirty towels is to keep a washing basket on a bench or table that is strictly for dirty items only due to hygiene reasons. However if you don't have bench/table space in the laundry use an open basket that stands up on the floor if a hamper takes up to much room and or frequently gets damaged due to the steam from the washing machines being used over time. Using hard plastic will prevent mould and damage to materials such as wood and fabric. I hope this helps! Keep up the great work God bless you and your family! ✝️❤🕊🔥👑🙌🌼💐🥰

[@rebeccabaron1348]

Boxes. I get rid of them all now. I don’t keep them after a month incase I need to return because it stopped working. For me, having a box or not having a box has not stopped the things they came in from selling at good prices. However, I have been in this journey for about 10 years and each year I feel more motivated to get rid of more than I did the year before.

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

The round tray. A memory blanket made with some of the children's clothes is a great way to use the favourite pieces, they can use it all the time.

[@homeschoolmom779]

I'm obsessed with cardigans too 😍

[@ak6459]

Love the cord hiding idea - thank you!

[@marysusa6985]

It seems like you have so much stuff for someone so young, but I can imagine there are many ways things that have accumulated for you. It's wonderful that you're working on decluttering now so hopefully when you're older you won't have so much to deal with. Nice job!

[@gglarue-z8f]

You make it look so easy and manageable. Thank you for the inspiration

[@am5635]

I love that this is the 2nd or 3rd time organizing and area. Like you, after I got my makeup nicely organized, I realized I didn't use much of it. I have a clear zip lock bag I like to use for my daily/travel makeup and don't need much more. Even though I haven't touched it in 2 years, it's still a process to let it go. I'm being patient with myself and letting it sink in that I don't need those things so I don't find myself buying stuff I won't use all over again. I'm in the middle of a big spring clean and so far I love the open space and only keeping items I love.

[@jessegaskins7099]

For some reason this video popped up on my recommend videos and I was hooked from the start I’m just now finishing it up now and I have you know I tackled my storage camper and I had two SUV trips to make. I’m not talking about just a few items but the whole back was full and yes it feels AWESOME. Now I can actually walk in it again. Thank you so much for sharing you have a new subscriber here.😊

[@gypsyjanelastname6000]

Is it too late to vote for the first long low wooden option for storing things on your bathroom counter? That one looked best and makes the most sense. The round one works ok but was already there and change is nice. The taller basket doesn't even hold everything and sort of looks like it's been set on the counter out of the closet and not put back afterwards. Thanks for the motivation!

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

I love your suggestion!! It's actually not too late! I think in finally going to go with that long one and donate the others. I had left it in the basket, but as you said not everything fits! So it hasn't been working

[@racheldyer9250]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE your Stitch sweatshirt! I absolutely love Stitch!! I really love your videos! I just found your channel and am sooo glad I did. Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and motivation!

[@beverlysteiger6757]

I just recently found your site. I am impressed with your decisive decluttering. I have multiple tubs for every holiday/season. I have 15 tubs for Christmas alone. Now, I am 69 years old and have been married for 45 years. I decorate mainly for the grandkids (4), though I truly enjoy decorating for the holidays. And, every time I do declutter some items. It’s an ongoing challenge.

[@temi4116]

15 tubs for Christmas decor storage! Wow, you are a person who loves Christmas!

I just found you today. Wow! This was such a great video! It's nice to see a long and realistic decluttering video. I've been ruthless lately with minimizing everything in my house and I'm not done yet. 😁

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

Thank you so much!! It feels so good to get rid of everything you don't use. The best part about minimizing for me has been it doesn't take nearly as long to clean! 🫧

I enjoy your podcasts. I was listening to your reference to the saying “keep it super simple”. That saying back in the 1970s was the kiss method meant”keep it simple stupid”. I think your new version is less judgmental, lol.

Haha 😂 Ive heard that one before too! I agree keep it super simple is a lot nicer. I'm glad you enjoyed watching! 💕☺️

Congrats on the whole house declutter. It’s very inspiring! The only decorations we keep is one small heart wreath for Valentine’s but because it’s white it gets used all the time that isn’t Christmas and 1 small metal bells Christmas wreath.

Nice video and amazing minimalism. One comment for thought. You should avoid storing alcohol above stove. It is an accelerant if you have a stove top fire.

[@Zipporah-xs3qz]

I have definitely decluttered my home. Not excepting a lot of things. Because I can easliy throw them away. Down sizing takes a lot of time and energy so its best to chose what kids like and keep those items and donate the rest.

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

Learning to let the things we don't need go is such a good thing to learn! 🩷☺️

[@sparklycrackle3616]

Ooo I love your idea of storing bedding like that 😍

[@yolandapagan5656]

I have a hamper for hand towels and microfiber cloths. Before they are put in the hamper I put them out in the balcony to dry to avoid musty smells. Bath towels get washed and put back on towel racks or towel hooks often. Because there are so many microfiber cloths and hand towels their laundry gets done @1x/month.

[@JustBreCreates]

Once we are not renting and we own our own house ima end up with a "she shed" of just holiday decor because I LOVE to decorate for the different holidays plus we are not traditional when it comes to decorations or holidays so most of my decorations are hard to find and very specific so I'll definitely need a shed to store them in

[@deannabrock5951]

Loved this video, great decluttering of your 🏠

[@arielleggett4252]

Dirty towels in the laundry room - I keep a hamper in the laundry room for any common area towels (kitchen hand towels, cloth napkins, dog towels, etc.) and there is a hamper in the bathroom to catch any dirty hand towels, wash cloths, and body towels. I have 5 teens and myself, so this is the best and easiest way to control the chaos!

[@sashacollins6812]

I’m kind of shocked by the amount of holiday decoration 😱 my entire decoration would fit into 1 of your huge boxes. I’m not that into decorating much. I’m wondering what you will do when your kid needs that closet for himself 😅

[@eva582000]

I'm not sure you can see when someone comments on your old videos but I'm going to anyway. I just wanted to mention the sugar bowl, (which you maybe got rid of?), you will probably have guests that would like sugar in their coffee at times. That sugar bowl was so cute, too.

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

I still see them! 💕 I know that sugar bowl was super cute. But now it probably has a home somewhere it can be used. I didn't find myself ever using it. If on a rare occasion we have a guest over I can just take out our sugar container. 💕

I have two and a half (one is half as tall lol) Christmas bins and a 4 foot tree. Anything more would be horribly overwhelming, but I do live in a 500sf studio apt. Additionally, I believe it is the civic duty of people with large houses to decorate like crazy, especially the exterior where I can admire it when I drive through the neighborhood 😄

[@WendyBaxter-m4o]

I use my take out silverware for when one of us is sick so we can leave food at the door of the room and it all goes in the trash ( paper plates/bowls, napkins, plastic silverware, etc.) It has really helped keeping the rest of the family from getting sick.

[@marionbylsma1167]

I rarely buy books anymore. After our last power outage I bought some so I’d have something to read not having to use my iPad because I use the library. I can get almost anything I want to read and if the library doesn’t have it, I can buy it or otherwise, do. Without.

[@ShelbyMarybeth]

Tree shirt is a great idea!

[@theheartofhomemaking]

Honestly, now that you have declutterred the coffee bar and your dressers, nightstands you may want to consider getting smaller/sleeker units or maybe nightstands without drawers all together. It can help make your bedroom feel a little more spacious to not have such big furniture and for your coffee bar will just eliminate spaces for things to clutter up as much with a smaller unit. You did a really fantastic job! I’m sure over time, now that you are really working your decluttering muscles, you’ll start maintaining and maybe even further decluttering your space going forward 💗 Great job! I’m up at night with our 15 day old (5th baby 🤩) so thank you for giving me something to watch 😘 My house is super minimal so since my decluttering is pretty near done, it’s fun to watch others go through the process!
