      Thank you for your video. It's super motivating 👍 You might want to try some BonAmi powder cleaner on that lazy-susan cabinet. It is non-toxic and super powerful cleaner.

    I am in the same situation. We've lived in this house since 1989. My parents have retired to another state and have left me with the house - and 40 years worth of stuff! I was doing really well decluttering, but I got burned out. Watching you do the same thing has inspired me to start working on it again! My suggestion for the utensil drawers is expandable drawer dividers, used the long way. That way you can group the spatulas, knives, tongs, serving spoons, etc. It's made putting things away SO much easier for me!

    I bet it's a huge relief to let go of so many things! I would love a playlist for the declutter of your parents house (for binge watching purposes 😄)

  • @deonebergman20
    @deonebergman20 9 місяців тому +19

    So satisfying to see her letting go of so much. She’ll never miss what she didn’t know she had or used. This is her first pass through and she’ll probably let go of more in the future 😊

    • @sillymamacita3854
      @sillymamacita3854 8 місяців тому

      Yes! It takes three rounds on average for most people bc the first time you show your brain it's possible to let go, the second time you can remind your brain how good it felt last time, and by the third time you're a pro! 😁

  • @MaryD321
    @MaryD321 9 місяців тому +13

    I'm so impressed with your gentle and graceful approach to helping your Mom and Dad. Shame never works, anger is a waste, and regret just stalls progress. Your methodical approach was perfect and I love the family humor mixed in with the tasks. You definitely have a calling for this kind of work. I'm so glad your parents are ready to move on with their stuff. Congratulations to everyone for getting this off the ground!

    A big thank you to your mom & dad for sharing this process with us. You're a sweet daughter to help your parents with this chore. My husband spent 21 years in the military so we had to declutter every 3 to 6 years (thank goodness) . My grandparents lived in the same house from 1950 to 1988. They were from the depression era and would NOT let us grandkids help with getting rid of anything 😅. It was a nightmare for my mom when they passed. Goid thinking of your parents to start now!😊😊

  • @purplepotato8849
    @purplepotato8849 8 місяців тому +4

    I think the sweetest thing about this 2 part series is that your Mom protected you; imagine this lady armed with printouts of those messages going to the Principal/ Teacher ready to fight for you. So wholesome.

    In my over 19 years of marriage I only ever had 2 oven mitts, one is 19 years old and the other one over 10. Videos like this confirm why I’m minimalistic

    • @China_and_JapanBall
      @China_and_JapanBall 6 місяців тому

      My mom bought me a new pair of oven mitts about 5 years ago. My old ones still function perfectly, they're just stained, so I keep using them. Whenever my mom comes over to visit she comments that the new oven mitts are going to be buried with me 😅

    You’re such a nice daughter, to come help your mom.ive tried to hire someone and they were way to expensive, couldn’t afford them.
    Don’t have any friends who could help. I do have one friend who has offered but it’s such a mess, and I’m too embarrassed ,I can’t do much cause I’m disabled, not able to stand , or bend just can’t do much of anything. I thought I was making progress, but I made a bigger mess. She’s so lucky to have you. You did wonderful job. ♥️♥️👍👍🙏🏽🙏🏽

    Thank you for your videos! I discovered your channel maybe a week ago and I am a hoarder, I keep everything “in case I need them” and it is so difficult for me to get rid of anything ! Since I started watching your videos, I started getting rid of stuff and it is very difficult but it feels so good at the same time!
    Thank you and your mom is very lucky to have you!

  • @jenniferwright8355

    My kitchen looks similar to your Mom's - orangey-wood cabinets and white appliances. I wanted to modernize it a bit, so I researched what color brings down the appearance of the orange wood, and I painted the kitchen an olive-based khaki/brown color. Sounds crazy, but it looks great! I replaced the cabinet hardware with modern dark metal knobs and handles. I used a de-greaser on the top of the cabinets (Superclean). And where the wood was water-stained or worn, I put a light coat of a matching wood stain on it. It looks like a different kitchen, for very little money!

  • @c.b.463

  • @evelynsweeney7381
    @evelynsweeney7381 9 місяців тому +6

    You two were a great team. You removed every shelf and cabinet, handed things to your mom, decisions were made, and items sorted for keep, trash, or donate. And of course the kitties supervised. On cleaning the lazy Susans, Dawn Powerwash and a scrubby sponge will clean all that. Let the Dawn Powerwash sit for a bit.

  • @dawnkanouse745
    @dawnkanouse745 9 місяців тому +6

I loved the audio clips of you guys laughing at different points, it was really cute. I was also cracking up when you said some of the cabinets were like a clown car with stuff endlessly being pulled out lol! I say that about my kids bureaus. I also loved the cat introductions too. Poor Elvis being old and senile 😆 I hope we get to see your mom in future videos!! ❤❤❤

    @lfuentes4098 7 місяців тому

    Wow! Great job! For the lazy susan stains, try using a powdered detergent called TSP available at your home improvement store. It’s very dry so use some gloves. If you use it will hot water it will melt away dirt and grease. They’ll look new! 😉

    Dollar Tree, Target, etc. have narrow plastic baskets. I have very narrow drawers as well and they work beautifully! I also had damage to my cabinets and cannot replace them. I got a rubber under sink liner and put down a piece of thin paneling I found, tacked it down, and then added the rubber mat Looks nice and works well.

    @helenatkinson4730 9 місяців тому

    Absolutely incredible job ladies! I know it was a lot of work but I'm sure it was so worth it. One decluttering tip I have used over the years is to keep just the essentials - especially in the kitchen - and box up everything else and put dates on the box. Then I set an amount of time that I will allow myself to keep the box of stuff I never use. Of course, I would go into the boxes and take things out that I needed. Everything else turned out to be stuff I could get rid of.

    i enjoyed this so much!! Your Mom and I have so many of the same items ... the cabinets, tupperware, pyrex and even the teeth. I save all the baby teeth and even fallen whiskers of my pets. It brings good luck😉🐾
