I just love a reset. I spent the day cleaning out and reorganizing my tiny bedroom. My goal is year is to learn to be happy with less; Really evaluate a need versus a want. Less things, more experiences!
Love this video, it’s always a good reminder that Declutter is a constant thing not a one and done. It’s also amazing the effects your environment has on us. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice fresh space! My New Year’s resolution is “do less” because the commitments and dreams pile up all year. But, I like how you framed this as making space for growth and pivoting with changes in life. It helps me shift out of all the micro-failures I was putting myself through as I declutter.
I have been slowly working through our smallest guest room, which has truly been 5 different iterations in the almost 5 years we have been here. I've been debating pulling out almost everything from my office and dumping it there to get my office back to a sense of calm. I think this video helped me both realize my office needs to be a priority but that I need to tackle it in smaller chunks for my sanity. I expect your heavier curtains will help with sound even more, too.
So it’s not for everyone but pulling everything out and then carefully curating what goes back is the only think that works for me. Cheering for you from here!
Hello Jen, 🙂 You inspired me to make a real space for me. I even took your curtain idea 🌟 Watching you, helped me to go through does moments 🤗. Thanks Jen. Continue your Super Good Work 😍🥰😘
I love these types of videos, it gets me motivated to edit and purge to have a clean workable space. I love your space, it looks amazing, calm and productive! :) Kari
Declutterring and relatives. When you get hand me downs, or gifts, it's tough to be able to get rid of it. My parents have yes, an 8 track deck that I've been hinting for them to let go. We have some things/furniture that was given to us but is out of date. But, if the relatives come over and see it gone? It's tough. I'm the new year, new you person; but the relatives not so much. So it just drives me crazy to still have some of this stuff.
I just found your channel. I’m loving you, girl! I’m in the process of redoing my son’s room as my office. It looks just like your office! You are inspiring! I’m in the same stage in life and trying to find my way to a new life after retirement. My own channel??? Maybe.
I did this in the kids’ rooms today. Pro tip - always bring an entire Costco roll of trash bags when you start a room declutter. Makes it easy to sort trash/donate/store. Otherwise I’m tempted to just tidy and not declutter.
Happy New Year! I had a couple of thoughts while watching this. First, the seaplane! I had forgotten about it. It was so nice to see it again. Second, “Nobody puts Dumbo in the closet.” See what I did there. Poor, Dumbo. I’ll miss you. Third, I always call it a white board. Lastly, I’ve also been trying to get my guest bedroom/office/sewing room in order for several weeks. It used to just be a guest room/sewing room, but COVID and needs must. It’s funny how trying to get that room more functional has necessitated getting multiple other spaces organized. I’m almost there, though. Wish me luck.
Another space saving tip for anyone trying the curtains instead of the closet doors, you can also hang the drapes inside the closet rather than out ☺️👍 looks great Jen, thanks for sharing!
I took bifold closet doors off my laundry area that is in one of my bathrooms and hung a pressure shower curtain rod with a shower curtain. It was so easy to install and looks great.
Such a great option! Unfortunately the curtains I wanted were too heavy and it would have sagged I think? But that would be so quick and easy in the right space! love it!
Beautiful, Jen. I'm with you on organization vs. anxiety. I'm not an anxious person...unless my surroundings are in turmoil and a mess. Being organized, neat and clean brings calm. In fact, I'm copying you today! Happy New Year to you and yours 🎉🌟
I love doing a winter deep clean/organization project. I know that spring cleaning is the norm, but doing a good clean in wintertime helps make the hardest season easier. Your new office looks great! (btw, it's spelled "stationery".)
Oops! No... Wrong link... That's the one about the difference between focusing on the conventions of what's being said instead of the meaning! Whoopsie!
Thank you so much! I have a real mess here, and found this so motivating! And thanks for the links, I find it so difficult to choose things like this by myself. Great to know the curtains and hardware are working for you! I have several closets with no doors, and have found it so difficult to come up a good solution. Thank you again, and happy new year!
I was actually shocked I liked the first panels that came - Amazon can be a minefield and things are frequently not as advertised! So glad I could help.
Watching this as I’m also in the middle of cleaning up my office too. Love how Scooby found himself a little space within the clutter. My dog does that too even when there is hardly space for me 😂
Love the new closet, so organized and the curtains look great. . That's my 2023 goal to go through and purge/reorganize every closet and cupboard in my house and I started this week while I was off work, got my linen closet, my main bedroom closet and my desk done but I'm afraid to tackle my office closet. It's a hot mess but you gave me some inspo to try and tackle it this month. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year and love the changes to your office. It’s on my 2023 bucket list to do something with ours but it feels so tricky since my husband and I share a home office. Also, love the angle you shot from in the wrap up!
Morgan SERIOUSLY somebody asked me if it was a green screen! Nope, just my same old office from a different perspective! NO IDEA why I had never filmed from that angle!
Hiii Scooby! I’m interested to know if this room has been painted yet. It’s the least costly way to make a big change in any room. White board, never heard wipe board before.

Haha, loved the banter between you and hubby

Absolutely my pleasure. thank you for your kind comment!
You just inspired me - I work from home and I just looked around my space and decided on changes
I call it a dry erase board. 😊
Nice fresh space! My New Year’s resolution is “do less” because the commitments and dreams pile up all year. But, I like how you framed this as making space for growth and pivoting with changes in life. It helps me shift out of all the micro-failures I was putting myself through as I declutter.
Beautiful! Thanks for your honesty and candor and vulnerability. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words, Susan!
You need to give us a peek into that space once in a while to show us that you are keeping it neat. Great job as always. 😊
I loved the dog supervisors.
Right? Scott calls them my security detail.😂
Jen, You are a delight and your vlogs bring me joy!
I’ve just been binge watching your vlogs on both channels since I saw you on Adam’s channel 💕
Oh how wonderful! Welcome and thank you!

Just starting to watch - your hair looks so beautiful 😍 xx
I love the setup of your white wall shelves. I would love if you did a video on how to stage built in wall shelves. Thanks!
Thank you and what a great video idea!
Hello Jen, 🙂
You inspired me to make a real space for me. I even took your curtain idea 🌟
Watching you, helped me to go through does moments 🤗.
Thanks Jen. Continue your Super Good Work 😍🥰😘
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm truly honored.
Love your channel. Where is Walter the adorable dog? Haven’t seen him lately. Love your dogs. Feel like you are a friend. Keep up the great videos
Very sadly Walter passed over a year ago. We still miss him everyday. Thank you for the encouragement!
Well, I DID just find joy watching this video, Jen! Thank you once again for inspiring me.
Hurray!! That’s always my hope!
That’s my project for this week, my home office that I want to transform into a guest bedroom/office. Love your tips!
I love these types of videos, it gets me motivated to edit and purge to have a clean workable space. I love your space, it looks amazing, calm and productive! :) Kari
Kari, I LOVE that and SAME.

Dry erase board here. You did an incredible job. Your office looks so peaceful.
Thank you! I'm so glad I took my time!
HAPPY, BLESS and HEALTHY

Cheers 🥂🍾🥂
Looks & Feels TERRIFIC 🥳
Brilliant! Enjoyed your redo video. It has motivated me to reorganize my office for 2023. It’s important to find joy in life’s experiences.

So glad you found me! Welcome!
1st time watching.
I need to do the same in my office.
Welcome and good luck!!! It makes such a difference when the space feels settled and not chaotic
It's a white board in my world. Love the reset! I've started a January decluttering challenge and you inspire me!
I felt calmer during your final tour!
Oh I’m so glad!
I did this in the kids’ rooms today. Pro tip - always bring an entire Costco roll of trash bags when you start a room declutter. Makes it easy to sort trash/donate/store. Otherwise I’m tempted to just tidy and not declutter.
Yes to this! All the garbage bags!

That’s always the way and I don’t hate it but it does mean these projects always take way longer than you think they will!
I love you stopping to pet your fur baby. I do the same with my Alton. ❤️🐶
You have to stop for snuggle breaks, Jody! It’s the only way!😂❤️
Another space saving tip for anyone trying the curtains instead of the closet doors, you can also hang the drapes inside the closet rather than out ☺️👍 looks great Jen, thanks for sharing!
We thought of that but unfortunately it would mean less space inside the closet and it didn’t work with the drawers. But that can work beautifully!
I took bifold closet doors off my laundry area that is in one of my bathrooms and hung a pressure shower curtain rod with a shower curtain. It was so easy to install and looks great.
Such a great option! Unfortunately the curtains I wanted were too heavy and it would have sagged I think? But that would be so quick and easy in the right space! love it!

I love that!
Wow! Jen it looks so great!! I love it and I’m so happy it brings you joy. ❤ Happy New Year!!
Thank you, Megan!
It turned out so beautifully! The curtains were such a nice and cozy addition!
Thank you!! I spent a lot of time in there today and the space is really working so much better
You look so pretty. ✋🎉

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. Was it written on something? I don’t have spellcheck in my hand.😂
Oops! No... Wrong link... That's the one about the difference between focusing on the conventions of what's being said instead of the meaning! Whoopsie!
@@seanjudge 🤣😂🤣😂
This came out amazing! Great way to feel freer with a more functional space! Wishing you a wonderful new year of creating in there!
Thank you Bena! I'm truly thrilled with it and hoping I can keep it this way!
Love your FURRY 🐾❤ 🐾friends
they are always CALM & SERENE
Yes they are! So good for me!
Love this project! You did such a wonderful job and seeing the view of the window behind you is so pretty! Congrats!
I have NO IDEA why I've never filmed from that angle before and I love it, Too! Thank you so much, Bernadette.
I love the tease for the packing video. Why do I love packing videos so much?! Happy New Year Jen!
Lol I love them too!
your closet gave me such inspiration!! I’m doing that!! 🎉❤
Oh hurray! I’m so glad!

I get this because I had put it off for far too long. Good luck and I love that intention!
Love the refreshed space!
Thank you! I am loving being in there and not just when I “have to” be

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I like the switching of perspective! Now you have a new spot to film sometimes!
Happy new year!!! Love the channel!!! 🎉❤
Thank you so much!

Looks great. 😘❤️
Thanks, Major! I’m really enjoying it.
It looks so great! Do you want to come and help me organize my sewing room? 😂The feeling of overwhelm is pretty strong with me.
I get this. But you CAN do it, Emily! Baby steps and take your time. It's gonna take more than a day (that was my big lesson this time)
Happy New Year Jen! This space looks organized and open. What a great way to start fresh
Thanks Lauren! I’m typing this from there right now and I’m wanting to be here rather than avoiding it!
Happy New Year!! Thank you for this video.
Same to you, Elizabeth! And absolutely my pleasure.
I really like the window curtains and the floor rug, would you mind sharing where you got them. Loved the dogs 🐾
Sadly both are discontinued. I've had them for years. I love them too! Thank you!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Thank you. Did the stores go out of business, cause maybe I could shop there
Hey Jen! Would you provide a link for the new light at your desk that you put on instagram? Thanks!
Sure thing! Give me a few minutes
And here it is just for you rstyle.me/cz-n/hes263dhjvf
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge Thank you so much! 💕 I’m looking forward to trying it out.
I don't want to see you just move stuff around. How about talking about what and why?
Hello! If you follow me on Instagram, you would see all of my behind the scenes stories. I also have everything linked and I go over everything I buy and what I use it for. Thanks for watching!
