I am enjoying going back to older videos- from your early decluttering days. Why? Because this is where I am in my great challenge journey. I’m looking forward to the day that I am on the 2019 level. Thank you Sofia!
I love the way your desk overlooks the staircase and how the window brings in the natural light right in front of you. So many times our desks are up against a wall and our view is blocked off from everything except or computer screens and some photos maybe. That's a real treat. I also like the way you have put to great use all the available space in the room. I am going to use some of these ideas if you don't mind to cozy up my space as well. It looks great by the way and thanks for sharing........
Happy you found your favorite pen, that is a nice cozy spot for school work. I like how you go though the thought process in projects and cleaning, you helped me get my living room and kitchen under control this past few days. I had a cabinet I was afraid to tackle for years and after watching your videos I finally did it. My family was very proud. Thank you, now next week, the bedroom.
I loved this video. I have a very similar problem with my master bedroom and I was happy to see, that I`m not the ONLY one. This motivated me to start moving things arround and to declutter. When ever I was looking for tips on youtube according that matter, I got so frustrated, because most of the videos show either a dump or a perfect, perfect bedroom. So, thank you Sophia! This helped a lot.
Just stumbled up on ur videos last night and I'm already addicted! never knew it could be so much fun watching someone else clean and organized lol its good motivation.
I recently stopped working to stay home and take care of my son,husband and home. I have a very clean house but I drag my feet to get things done! I watch your channel,gather ideas and become motivated! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos because I can only imagine how difficult it is to clean and record yourself Lol!
Great vid, as usual. I love how you keep everything so real and down to earth. Your home makes me feel comfortable. Im glad you found your pens. I could tell how excited that made you. You are one of my all time favorite people to watch on YT. I get so excited each time I see a new vid. Thank you for all you do. Happy Thanksgiving to you and our family.
I have loved your videos for a while but have decided to binge watch them today :) I admire you so much! I really want to be like you in the sense that you can do like anything your self, like installing shelves, moving heavy furniture, and being a really great homemaker! I'm getting married in a month and moving into my first apartment and I'm so excited to rewatch these videos and get inspiration in my own home :)
Motivated again ! So glad to see how honest you are & that someone actually has a bedroom that is lived in . Mine is lived in too , unfortunately by a very messy husband ! Thank you Sophia , I get so enthusiastic when I see you posted a new video . Please keep them coming xx
Sophia, if you don.t mind a suggestion. I was left a corner curio cabinet, by my late mother in law. Loved her, hated the cabinet, I decided to paint it with black chalk paint, then took sand paper and distressed it then applied wax, now it has to be my most cherished piece of furniture! I think if you tried it on the pieces you don't like, you may change your mind. That may be just the compromise for both you and your hubby. Red drapes would be perfect. I also think if you moved the mirrored piece to the corner between the closet and the window, it would balance the room better, if you have the space for it. I, like so many others, enjoy all your videos.
Love your videos, Sophia, look into the cordless Electrolux vacuum. I love my Electrolux vacuum, small cordless vacuum, love it!! I have a central vacuum system in my house and it is a pain to carry the huge hose all around the house and upstairs so I only do that once a month. Then I use the Electrolux daily, it is also great for throw rug, a with a regular vacuum the rug gets suck into the beater bar thingy. Electrolux has a beater bar, most cordless vacuum don't and it has a detachable duster buster too!
Yay!...yay!...yay!...you found the pens!!...nice pices...I can totally understand the 40 minute break inspecting the pens!...lol...I'm still looking....maybe soon....room looks good and cozy!..cozy is good..that's the way you want your room!...lol...as for hubby's furniture ...shhh don't tell I agree with you...I too have a pice of hubby's that is disgusting and managed to move it out to the garage....lol...happy thanks giving to you and yours....in Australian we don't give that's...lol..we are just great fun fro everything everyday!..yeh right!....
I always love watching your videos. When I first found your channel I stayed awake all night binge watching... Lol you always inspire to do more organizing a rearranging in my own house. Happy Thanksgiving!
I really enjoyed this video! You say it's not earth shattering but you moved mountains accomplishing what you did! I'm glad I found your channel and I totally subbed!
You did a fantastic job...I love it! I admire how disciplined you are...when you want to do something, you do it until it's completed! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Sophia! Janel in NJ
I agree with the poster who asked you to do a video on fountain pens. For some reason they intimidate me. I think I can learn more about them with one of your videos than any other way.
In the UK Dyson vacuum cleaners are very popular - good suction - and they do smaller cylinder versions, might be worth a look, if you change it in the future. Your room looked very nice and cosy after all your hard work. I know you used the vertical storage of t-shirts etc in your closet - will that work in your mahogany drawers? you could put your summer ones to the back and swop with the seasons. This system is seems to keep the drawers a lot tidier for a lot longer (from experience!) I was willing you to put the little drawers at the side of your bed lol! Lorna from UK
So glad you found your pen , I can only imagine how excited you were when you first found it. I do like the way you arranged the furniture , love that mirrored jewelry box ! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day so just want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
Another great video! You are so real and down to earth! I hope you share about going back to school. I'm actually an LMSW pursuing clinical licensure, so I'd love to hear about your plans. I'm also back in school for another graduate degree! I guess I'm going to be a professional student! LOL! TFS!
MsMaliB Me too! I am going for my LCADC. When I earned my Master's in Forensic Psych, it was not considered a mental health degree at the time, so I could not be licensed, but after 14 years in the field, my only hope for continued growth is the license. I picked that one instead of going back for a second Master;'s. I m doing 9 classes online and I still have 11 to take in person, then the written and the oral test. Thank goodness I have all the hours and the supervision out of the way.
How awesome that you found a way to pursue the licence without having to go through another graduate program! That is a great field; I work in a psychiatric hospital where we treat people with mental illness and chemical dependency; there is a great need for more professionals to work with that population. Good luck to you!
You are an inspiration. I don't think his dresser is that bad lol. My hubby doesn't care about anything in the house so I can't relate. Happy Thanksgiving
What did you do with your things that were in the dresser in the dining room? I saw your video when you put the office supplies and napkin rings in the top drawer.. where did they go?! :P Would love a video of what you put in that place now :)
Still motivating anyway especially as that is our main problem at home at the moment, we are not in a position to redecorate till next year (we have damp walls that the landlord needs to sort, we are allowed to paint though), I am not happy with the way the furniture is right now, My OH takes over the desk and wardrobe! He is great but I need to fight for space! I am no saint either I am sure he will be happy if I move my stuff from the bathroom and bedroom so he can actually open the door! I put my clothes on the chair, bed ...ok hands up the, floor too! I am going to be decisive for once and plan the rearrange for tomorrow am!
Sophia you make me laugh! Totally relate to the 45 minutes lost on pens tho…. You really motivate me to clean out my stuff! Going to work on it for a little bit right now. I have an easy Christmas dinner to go to at 5 so don't have a lot of time, but you make me want to at least work on something! Love the videos!
Sand your husbands furniture and stain it the colour of the one you like and they will blend in well I have a friend with a few different pieces but they are stained the same so they match brilliantly x
Maybe if you put the vacuum in the basement you will have to go and get it everytime it will look good on your activity tracker. I also may hear you cursing from all the way over here!

Very nice video
Ops speller check doing its own thing...at the end it's meant to be grateful for...lol...you get it...
Sofia, I love you! You are amaZING ♥
My room may take all day! Our bedroom is all about my husband not letting go of things l
I know it has to feel a lot better! :)
*I gotta do by bedroom next!
Maybe theres hardwood flooring under the rug...
Maybe if you put the vacuum in the basement you will have to go and get it everytime it will look good on your activity tracker. I also may hear you cursing from all the way over here!
BellinaSkyBright right, great idea! or NOT!
you could stain your husbands dresser and move it to the bass ment
Haha my husband if I had one would have to pick me or that hideous furniture as you say lol.
Curious about why you guys have the attic as the master not one of the other rooms
because there is a bathroom attached to it.
