Please be kind to yourself. I am a 70-year-old widow with health issues, so I adapt these suggestions. Today I cleaned one drawer and spent 5 minutes in office drawer. That’s all I can handle and that’s okay!
Great job! And thank you so much for sharing :)
That's how I do it too!❤❤. And I'm not even 70!!
Haha. That’s me. I’ve been working on my office/music room in 15 min chunks for a year now.
You go girl.
I listened to this whole video while decluttering my drawers, wardrobe, papers, letters, notebooks, i then realised it had only taken me 55 minutes to declutter 70% of the things i'd been dreading for over 3 months!
Yay that’s amazing, great job!!!
Of all the declutter, minimalist, and organizing channels I have to say that as much as I like them and they've helped me, I just really love your personality and the way you look t things and explain things the most on UA-cam! Thank you!
Thank you so much, that makes me so happy!! So glad it's helpful ❤
Agree 👍
Agreed!! Finally someone who makes perfect sense! I can relate to everything you said and you have excellent suggestions!
Thank you so much!! @@hurricanelolly
I love the fact that your video has closed captioning. Love your channel and the information on decluttering.
Thank you so much, Louise! I'm so glad it's helpful ☺
Helped my Ex declutter almost 300 shirts/tshirts in FIFTEEN MINUTES(after washing and sorting into piles). Made a few promises to him first. The time limit. HE gets to choose what goes and what stays. THREE is NOT a hard and fast number, we could go higher based on how difficult it is to get thru the first pile. Empty moving box(wardrobe box) next to the door for the outgoing stuff. Sorted color piles of all tshirts, ex red, blue, green, white, etc. Your going to make at least THREE WAVES THRU EACH PILE, before moving to the next one.
FIRST WAVE: Start with the SMALLEST pile, toss stained or worn items.
SECOND WAVE: Toss any you will never wear.
THIRD WAVE: Keep your FAVE three from that pile, put them on hangers and either toss the rest of the pile or set it aside for an extra wave. Was it a hard choice? Keep ONE extra if you were stuck on choosing between two.
*Immediately hang the keepers up in the closet, as you go along.
Do the same with the next color pile. Did the same with his plaids, dress shirts, hoodies, and jeans/pants. We noticed he tended to purchase similar items, repeatedly because most of his clothing was packed away. Now he is VERY happy with all the clothing he kept and only added two extra shirts back because they were his fave color. By the time we got thru the third color pile of tshirts....he was having fun.
Because we hung up the keepers as we went along, his closet was color sorted when we finished. Not kidding when I say that he freakin LOVED it!!!!
Wow, great job and thank you for all of those tips!! I bet he totally loved it!
Amazing 👏
I love this
I love this idea!!
Helpful tip for those with elderly parents and/or those with limited living space. When my mom downsized to assisted living she had limited space to put out all the decorative items that she had collected over the years. We were lucky in that she had a large closet-sized storage space available to her so I sorted all of her decorative items into separate totes, one for each season winter, spring, summer, and fall. The tote contained enough items to "redecorate" her little efficiency apartment each season and included door wreaths, knick-knacks, wall hangings, swags, etc. Once per season I'd retrieve a tote from the storage closet and trade out her current decorations for the "new season" decorations. She loved the feeling of having 'new' things to look at and this satisfied her sense of ownership of these items. She loved knowing that she could still touch these things at different times throughout the year and it sparked memories which provided her with stories to share about her life. My mom was a pretty-high maintenance chick and so she had a lot of things including clothes too. Eventually she let me do the same thing with her clothing - splitting it out into seasonally stored totes which allowed her to better utilize her limited closet and dresser space daily.
What a great idea, love that! Thank you for sharing :)
What a delight it must be to have you as a daughter 💘
@kthomas661 that is awesome advice, than you!
Love this! Great idea!! I’m going to do this for myself 😂
I have just met you on UA-cam today. I really like your tips and you have inspired me to declutter some surfaces in my bedroom and bathroom TODAY! The most discouraging thing for me is that I am a 73 year old widow and I cannot even keep my house decluttered and neat - living alone!
It is no one’s fault but my own. Feeling like a total failure. I have basically been “decluttering” since I lost my husband 5 years ago.
Thank you so much for sharing! Don’t feel like a failure at all - it’s not easy and this takes time. You’re doing great! ❤️
❤❤
Yes, Nancy, I know the feeling!!! I am in the same boat! Still trying to declutter from room to room daily! It is overwhelming and stressful! 😢
Hi. Hope you're well? First & foremost - you're not a failure. Losing someone is one of the hardest things you'll have to deal with in life - clutter is a long way down the list. One can watch videos on the topic till the cows come home (please excuse expression) but if you're not ready to do it - nothing will help. Having to re-adjust to living on your own is huge - your life as you knew it was changed completely. It's NOT clutter - in your case emotions play a big part in the process - if it's taking you 5 years to process things - then that's what it took. & throwing items out when one isn't in a right frame of mind can lead to regret later. Now is the right time to do it - you will get it done. Believe in you - GOOD LUCK ☘️👍
❤❤❤
Well organized! I am done with big declutters. Now it is all about maintaining what I have. My apartment is so much easier to clean.
Thank you Kristi! And amazing job on the decluttering you've done!
Very applicable video not draconian or brutal. I want to be relaxed when I declutter. I have set a schedule for the whole year. That is for example each room per month. Which means I will visit each room three times a year. Happy cleaning ladies and gentlemen 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
I have removed first the largest items to declutter..chairs curio cabinet..11 pieces of furniture. Now Im following your advice..I'm doing an hour a week.of little stuff...small hand tools..extra Xmas decorations. ..extra plates/silverware. Extra oil paintings I donate everything to help people at Goodwill stay employed..it's in my daily route so I donate often. I love this video
Thank you so much and SO happy to hear that the video helped you. Sounds like you're doing amazing!!
I have used unwanted shampoos as a cleaner for sinks and toilets. Cleans well, just doesn’t sanitize.
Love that idea!
I have a very small kitchen. My cabinets hold food and spices my oven holds my pots and pans my oven draw holds baking pans and lids. My dishwasher holds my dishes ,bowls and glasswsre my food pantry holds canned goods on the sides i use push pins to hold spatulas large spoons laddies etc. i have a oval crock pot i keep on top of my refrigerator and a air fryer i have to keep on the counter. I really don't have room for anything. But i dont like cluttered counters. So i work with what i have. I wash and dry my dishes as i go. Would love to have the space most of you people are calling small.
I loved your video, and found it very helpful. I agree with everything you said. I was de-cluttering for a while after my husband passed, but never finished. You have motivated me to begin again. Thank you. You have good ideas.
You are so welcome! I'm very sorry to hear about your husband ❤
I’m glad you spoke about expiration date. I really dislike seeing people throw food out all the times.
I do too - I see so many people making decisions on the date and all I see is food waste and people tossing perfectly good items!
I have used the little bit of leftover shampoo added to my hand soap or used it as dish soap when I run out. It also works good as a hand wash for bras or underwear in a pinch, socks too. This way I can get rid of the empty bottles. 🧦👙🙌🫖
Thanks for sharing!!
I think a trip to the Goodwill first might work to remind me of STUFF that other people have already had the courage to part with. It’s really hard for me to part with stuff that I’m just used to seeing around me.
Yes, so true!
Good idea 😊
Your content is so real. Your drawers are stuff you use and surprises of stuff to throw away. You have a very easy to achieve sensible approach to minimizing and decluttering. Great workshop!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked it!
The phrase that I felt like stuck out the most was "The Why" to give you the motivation. I have gone room by room, closet by closet, drawer by drawer for about 2 years now. I have had numerous obstacles that have slowed me down from beginning full time employment as a teacher, to a summer long of pneumonia, then was in a car accident then a few months later began having seizures. During my sick periods I have watched a lot of decluttering and organizing videos. I recently tackled the two messiest rooms in the house: my boys shared bedroom and the large office/craft room as I began to heal from the cluster seizures and medication adjustment. I was about to tackle my closet next then get back to work and I had more seizures this week, so had to up the meds again. I am not giving up, but needed more encouragement and motivation to get to and through my closet, so I watched your video. That why statement stuck out, so I wrote that down on a note card along with "clutter is just unmade decisions" something I heard in another video and taped them to my dresser near my closet. I'm going to get back at it as soon as I am able. Thank you for sharing video!
Thank you so much, Olivia!! ☺
✅u make a lot more sense than some other declutter ppl!
And seems kinder.
This is SO organized even viewing is time-stamped. Thanks again
Thank you so much!!
This is the best video I have seen in the topic of decluttering. While listening I put away a lot of stuff in my kitchen and living room that were making it look cluttered, and I haven't noticed them beforehand! It feels soooo freeing ❤
Amazing, thank you so much and great job!! ❤
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time with new information! Thank you so much!❤
I'm so happy to hear that! ❤
I have learned MORE in the past hour than in all.the books I bought to figure this out. We just spent 10 months renovating a gutted house, living with minimal belongings. The first month we washed dishes in a pail! When I got home, I felt overwhelmed by the STUFF I have...as I unpacked, I began purging what I had brought back.
And then...
When I stopped for coffee, your channel came up!
Thank you for everything you have put into these videos!
Wow, what a compliment - thank you so much!!
Local veterinary clinics will take towels and blankets as well. I come from the field and we always appreciated any towels, rags, and blankets for recovery and in the cages.
Thank you so much!
Thank u for the inspiration today! While listening to your video I decluttered my pantry, a utility drawer and a side closet. Took about 40 minutes total and all 3 areas are tidy and minimal! U rock!
Amazing, I love that so much! Great job on getting so much done!! 😊
Talking through items is very helpful. So often, we end up just keeping things if we can't easily decide and not making good progress. I like the questions/thought process you suggested using. This more detailed back story is something missing in most videos in this category. I think the "why" is so important to focus on, I think it takes away some of the attachments to our belongings- there's a bigger goal than our possessions. Thanks for a really excellent video!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like the video and I so appreciate your comment!!
Taryn, I just came across your channel and I’m so glad. Your ideas and suggestions about declutterring are just great and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and advice.
Oh yay I'm so glad you are here, Stella - thank you so much!
Thank you for some great content. Two areas you touched on at the end are storing things under your bed and making your bed. I find storing things under the bed undesirable as they do get dusty and it's so much easier to just dry mop the floor. I don't want to have to dust containers under my bed!
The second thing is how long it takes to make your bed. I timed myself several years ago, and it does take less than 60 seconds. That is what convinced me to make it everyday. We also have a queen bed and I don't want a king because I'm pretty sure it would take longer!
I bet you are right that a king would take longer! Thank you so much for sharing :)
I have a king,it’s big,but I no longer struggle with figuring out which end of the sheet goes on first…kings are square..and I don’t care if the design,if there is one,faces the right way.
I'm 77 any i love my jeans and cargo pants. Thats what i wear. Forget about treads wear whats comfortable for you.
Yes! I love my jeans too!!
You can be a motivational speaker! You motivate, encourage, advise and live by example. I'm always motivated each time I watch your video and will get off my butt to go clear away something or declutter or throw. Thank you!!!
Ahhh thank you so much, that makes me so happy!!
If hubby didn’t want a cleaning person, that means he would be it!🤷🏾♀️
Right?!
I'm new to your channel, and I like you because you seem real and down to earth. Not just in it for subscribers.
Thank you so much!! I am so glad you are here!
This is so amazing. I love the idea of the expiration dates. That is the best sold by date, not that it is a must go date. It does not magically go from good to bad , PRANK on that date. As you said, use wisdom. If it is still sealed and not rusted it is probably fine! I have winter, spring, summer, Autumn, and Christmas decor. That is it!I rotate on the season date. Works for me . I love your idea and I will be sharing your channel! Love it! And yes Death Cleaning is perfect.. My kids won’t want most of my stuff. They have their own. From time to time I ask my kids, “is there any thing you can think of that I ought to put your name on it?”
Thank you so much!!! 😊❤
Thank you for sharing all your tips and hard work! Whistle while you work🌹
You are so welcome!
Hey Taryn thank you so much. Your videos have really helped me and my husband get rid of loads of stuff and make our home much nicer. You've also helped me think about my spending habits and realise I don't need to constantly buy things for the sake of it. Thank you! 😊
That makes me so happy!! 😊
Yes the date is a suggestion … it all depends on product and tempature and how it was stored.
For sure! 😊
I love your videos!! My house is not cluttered but you inspire me and give me so many ideas!!
Ahhh I'm so glad - thank you so much!!
Very entertaining!! I am 74 and I'm happily living by myself.. After watchimg your video I've realised I dont need the same amount of "stuff" in my kitchen or realistically in my whole house.. Yes get rid and de-clutter.. At the end of my days and hopefully not for a long time yet my Family won't need to go through everything..
I'm still using my crown green bowls!! I go hiking regularly so maybe rucksack, waterproofs and boots etc will be the things my famy will have to deal with.. not extra pots and pans etc ha ha!!
Thankyou xxx 😊❤
Awesome! And you are so welcome! ❤
I love your logic and reasoning especially regarding the electronics !!!
I have all my products AWAY Can’t bear any products on display! I started with my one draw a time . We always air our beds for about half an hour It s the healthy way to go! 🥰
Love it, thank you so much for watching!
I luv this plan $50 or less donate !!!!!
Awesome!!! 🤩
I loved this video! Thank you for down to earth,very practical advice!I subscribed! I WILL watch more! You are GOOD!
I'm so glad you're here! Thank you so much!!
This is by far the best decluttering video I have ever watched. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! 😊
This video was so helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this amazing video! It is probably the most useful decluttering video on UA-cam.
Ahhhh thank you so much!!!
You really do have an understanding of the clutterer mindset, inside and out.
Thank you so much!
This video was so informative. I'm taking back my space, and I have been binging your videos. Thank you!!!
That's amazing to hear!! You are so welcome!
Gosh the most intimidating thing, the sheer amount of toys we buy for kids. My son was never so much into toys so I was lucky. Sometimes I feel for kids younger than 3-4 yrs the toys are for the parents not really for the kids.
So true!
I highly recommend using a loose version of the minimilists "packing party".
I haven’t done it with my whole house, but did with the kitchen when we renovated. Everything moved into another room, packed into boxes so the items would stay clean. Then we only pulled the items we needed as we needed them when we were putting the room back together.
I was able to condense the left over items after a week or so into fewer boxes, which we then stored for a few more months, just in case. Over those months maubea handful more items came out.
We had started improvising to avoid searching through the boxes, for example: using a large knife/kitchen scissors to cut a pizza instead of the pizza wheel.
I imagine this process could be done for eaxh area of your home until you've worked through each area.
We're currently renovating my daughters bedroom, her stuff is everywhere right now! Once we get her back in, it'll be just her bed and bedside table to start with. Then we'll add as she's needing it until we see what's left!
My favourite functional kitchen decor piece is my gluggle jug, we always have a water jug out on the table and I decided that was the piece I was going to find a "fun" piece to have out on the table instead of our regular glass jug!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
This is the most helpful, common sense video I have ever seen. You are easy to listen to and are so concise! You covered everything quickly, and every point you made was important and hit home! I’m watching the second time. Thank you!
I'm SO happy to hear that! Thank you for your sweet comments!!
I really appreciated this video. Thank you! Im recovering from c-ptsd/ add symptoms/ side effects and this was such a great simply put, logical , intelligent way to explain how to declutter. I appreciated the whys you explain because for my mind , I understand, absorb and remember the information better. Thanks!!!!❤😊🌺
You are so welcome, Amber. I am so glad it is helpful!! 😊❤
This is such a special channel. ❤️
Ahh thank you so much ❤
I’m watching the ENTIRE workshop while decluttering. This is helpful. Thanks.
Love that!! Good luck with your decluttering, you can do it!
You are so helpful and are realistic with your method. Thank you! I hope to see many more of your videos! I also like your closed captioning.
Thank you so much!!
Your video got a like and subscribe from me. Often, people overthink their abilities to complete tasks. You not only help people feel that they don't have to complete tasks in one sweep, you also have a great delivery of making things make sense. You bring a lot more to this video than you think. This is a great video for not just organizing, but it can help a potential hoarder out of the decline of keeping everything they just dont need!❤
Thank you so much!! 😊❤
Awesome job! I decluttered 3 drawers in my kitchen while listening to your Wonderful advice🎉😊
I'm so glad - love that so much!
Love your videos! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much, Celeste!! 😊
Ty for video I decluttered while watching you.
Love that!! 😊
❤ Thank you. This is motivating. Organizing/decluttering is never ending. I have a plan when I get home from vacation 😊
I'm so glad! Wishing you luck! 😊
Thank you!! Other videos I’ve watched have said don’t have two backpacks .. only one .. but one is for one thing is one for the other so … I don’t think it’s wrong .
Thank you!!
Greetings. Hope you're well? On the subject of why you keep things & what happens to them when you pass - if you're single or have family is a consideration. Whats sentimental to you mightened be to someone else. If you have sentimental items that you can give to someone - great but after that things can't be sold or given to charity will end up in a skip. You've some good tip here. When i got a house one small thing I did was after buying cushions - i just bought different cushion covers which as you said can be changed for seasons or events & are easy to store.
Awesome, thank you so much for sharing and watching!
Great balanced informational info♥️♥️♥️Thank you 🎯
You are so welcome!! ❤️
Great tips...thanks! 😊🙌
Thank you so much!!
Great information. Thanks.
You are so welcome!!
One thing I’ve decided to do is alter my bed throws. They’re very heavy. I’m going to cut them in half or even thirds. Then it’ll be easier and quicker to make the bed. They’re only on the end to dress it anyway. I’ll also be able to wash them easier instead of a specialist launderette.
Great idea - that would definitely cut down on time to make the bed I'd say 😊
Very informative ❤
Thank you!!
Love your videos, this one is extra great! What seems funny to me: You talk about a tiny apartment with 90 squarfeet - this is a big apartment in Europe and fits easily 4 - 5 people ;-)
Thank you so much! And that is such a good point 😊
Vets also take sheets, blankets, and towels!
Great tip!!
I found that the clothes I had with tags are the ones I kept and am now using since they were brand new, and the old clothes that were worn to death got booted out. So, I'm not sure why more people don't suggest this. You're welcome...lol!
Thanks for the tip!!
Good tips. Thank you.
You are so welcome!!
CANNED GOODS: canned goods can last an incredibly long time with one exception: dented cans. You shouldn't exceed the sale date by very much; the cans are lined inside so plain steel can be used. A crease from a dent in the can results in the food product being In contact with bare metal. That's why the cans taste metallic.
Great point! 😊
Good tips👏
Thank you!! 😊
I have a tip for you that absolutely works. To remove the odor of onions or garlic from your hands, hold something stainless steel under cold running water and rub it over your skin. I do it with a knife, but I suppose it would be safe to use a spoon
Oh wow, I am going to have to try this - thank you!!
We also got rid of our coffee table. We have small side tables in our living room and basement that is sufficient. Not only are coffee tables a catch all, but it definitely opens up the space when they are removed!
For sure :)
Haha, my mom had cans of corn that were probably 15-20 years old or more. We opened one and tried it. Not spoiled, but they really tasted like the metal can! 😩😂
Oh wow! I thought 10 years was a lot but 20? Don't eat that! :)
You did very good u help me out too
Awesome!
Did your husband clean as much as you when he didn’t want to hire a cleaning person?
Good question! I don't think he did - but he also has a higher tolerance than I do for mess, which seems to often be the case with people living together 😊
This was the same thing I asked myself. Women have to take on so much sigh.
I’ll bet you knew the answer to that before you even asked it. 😉
Yeah, my generation and older generations have basically accepted husbands as additional children to pick up after, sadly and unfortunately. Men in my age group and older aren't fully functioning adults. Hopefully, future generations will do better and won't treat their wives like servants.
@@calreyTHIS 👌🤝
At 9:11 about the garage sale or selling online is so true. I made $600 selling things I bought and hardly used, but I had boundaries with buyers. They had to pick the item up somewhere close to me. I was unemployed during that summer time. I wouldn't bother while working 9-5 with a busy family life unless the item is expensive.
Yeah! Selling always sounds like it would be easy but I agree - if you are working and busy you have to set some rules to make to make it worth it!
Helpful😊
Thank you!! 😊
Peaceful bedroom 👍
Thank you!
I'm a new subscriber and I'm loving your content. I agree with so many of your ideas. I'm well on my way to decluttering my home, but I get new inspiration and new motivation by watching videos like yours. Thank you!
Yay, welcome! And thank you so much for your amazing comment 😊
Love your channel. It's so strange to me that the kitchen would be cluttered with stuff that's got nothing to do with cooking. My kitchen is one of the few rooms I don't have a clutter problem with. To be clear, I can always get rid of bowls, cups, lids, but it's not a horror movie like my basement, a portion of my garage and the closets. I got work to do.
I think it’s because we spend so much time in the kitchen and then it just became a catchall for everything! 😊
A basement I would so so loved to have a basement
Lovely back story. My life’s mission is to keep things at a minimum!
Thank you so much, and love that mission! It's so much easier that way 😊
As you use them, transfer your cotton balls into kitchen storage bags - ideally, a quart-sized bag. It truly makes a world of difference.
Oooh I’ll try that! Thank you!
Deb here. I am not clear why after using the cotton ball, you would put them in a quart sized bag. Why not throw them directly in the trash?
@@rickgonzalez1218 She means to store them in the smaller bag before you use them :) That large bag they come in can get unwieldy!
My local library has specialty baking pans you can check out. I love that idea for something you may only use once a year. ❤
That is amazing!! ❤
I've learned that with clothing I need to wear what looks good on my body type, which is pear shaped. I have a long body and short legs. I carry my weight in my thighs, so boot cut jeans, high to medium waistline works best for me! No need to follow what's in style.
So true! There are so many things that are currently in style that don’t work for me. Classic and flattering is best!
Well…. I’m already a total failure BECAUSE I’m in the middle of moving and have just decided to Take Everything & figure out how to deal with the situation after I’m moved in.
Yikes
(I’m alone and 82, so the easy way is the best way today)
That's ok! I bet once you have everything packed you will quickly see what you aren't using and you can make decisions that way. Best of luck with your move!
@@tarynmaria_ thanks 🙏 I’ll need it
The furniture in thé bathroom is nice
Thank you!
I absolutely refuse to store anything under my bed! I like it clean and empty. So much easier to mop under it. 👍🏻
For sure! I try to keep mine empty but things always seem to migrate down there!
Hi, about expiration dates, what you say, it's true when it comes to organic, pure things like cocoa for baking, oatmeal, etc. However, if it's processed food like pancake mix, mashed potato mix, and other things like that. People shouldn't even buy them because they have so many unknown ingredients that even freshly bought is not good for our health. Anything processed, whether boxed or frozen. I recommend stear away from them as much as possible.
Thank you for sharing! I don't actually buy those kinds of things (except for the occasional brownie mix) but great point!
I agree on the expiry date !
Expiry date is a "goodness guaranteed period" to ease the control in the market/selling process. Beyond that, we need to check the actual food condition manually, thing that not allowed in supermarket because almost definitely will ruin the packaging.
For sure! I hate throwing away food that is still good :)
Thanks for saying it is ok to keep things that are good but out dated, and no don't decant everything. I sure enjoyed your video.
I’m so glad! 😊
Great content. Keep up the great work..
Thank you so much!!
You're lucky to have a basement and attic. We only have a 2 car garage in California!
Murphy's law -
"Items (clutter) will accumulate to fill the space available."
So, when you have a bigger house you simply accumulate more.
Ahhh so true! :)
I was so happy with myself a couple of months because I had cleaned and decluttered my linen closet, yeah🎉! Yesterday I had to by things that needed to go in there and found all kinds of other things in there. I feel like I just keep moving things around. 😢
I know the feeling! For years, and even still, I do the decluttering where you're just moving things but not actually getting rid of them. It's a process for sure!
Love: kitchen things dont have to live in the kitchen. 💡
Our local police station has a bin for expired medicine and once a year has a 'drive through' for any prescription medication that you want to dispose of.
Oh yay, thank you so much Cathy!!
We have 3 dogs and sometimes up to 7 as we dog sit for friends at times. My living room is full of blankets to protect the furniture and toys like we were running a day care center. Hmm, a container for the blankets is a great idea. We have a toy box, but the toys stay in it for about five seconds. The pups pull out the toys as fast as I can pick them up.😂
So cute!
I know what you mean about hiding the clutter away. We have a “guest room” that I’ve been piling all of it away in and you can’t even step inside there right now. I’ve gotta take stuff to the donation center
Yup, I know the feeling! :)
Kitchen wise, I only keep a thing on the counter tops IF it is useful AND pretty at the same time. So coffeegrinder, no, use it twice a day but ugly, meaning visually distracting for me, so into the cupboard. Toaster, yes, don't use it everyday but regularly AND pretty, meaning the same colour as the whole kitchen theme, so it stays put. Same with coffee paper holder and breadbox, all in the same colour as kitchen and even waste bins.
Thank you!
