I liked the longer video and watched the whole thing. The cupboard looks lovely and good job changing the canisters to a complete set, love the blue pots on display also! I agree with the apron and pot holders only on that rack. Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration!
Hello Jamie, I’ve been watching your vlogmas decluttering roulette everyday and I just wanted to tell you that I think it’s really amazing the gift you are giving your self for christmas. Even in clutter, when I look at your house it’s obvious that you have great taste, nice furniture, fun collections, a great love for beautiful vintage objects and I can’t wait for you to look at your house and see the beautiful spaces you will have created for yourself and for your family. Sometimes it’s hard for mothers because the responsibility of the state of the home lay mostly on their shoulders and I admire that you are doing the best you can, while always respecting your husband and childrens things and having a lot of other things on your plate like all mothers do. You are doing great ! 😊
I’m really happy to hear that! Once Vlogmas is over this is going to be more of the style of my videos - at least most of the time. Longer, more stream of consciousness talking about my thought process and decisions ❤️🩵
Ohhhh em geeee that was a satisfying one. So sorry it almost broke you! If you want…you could put away a few of the coffee cups you have in rotation next to cook books and just keep a few on display in the middle. They don’t have to all be out on display. Just a suggestion. I get how you want the peaceful airy look!
Great idea! I think you’re right… I’m about to put them all away in my Christmas bin and just have the Christmas mugs out. I only have 6 Christmas mugs and I bet I’ll be much more at peace with that look. So after Christmas when I’m putting the regular mugs back, I think having them in a rotation of “on display” vs “away” will work much better for me.
Suggestion: move one of the mint colored bins to the top shelf to put the mugs in, to bring that color down and kinda hide the mugs. And then you could get away with replacing it with just a white one for inside the cabinet. And it wouldn’t be all that much work to just slide the bin out and put the mugs away!
We are two person household and we decided 6 mugs were perfect. Two are my husband’s favorite, two are my favorite, and two are just extra. But we both use all six of them.
That seems like a really reasonable amount. I have 6 Christmas mugs and am about to just have those out and put the others away in the holiday bin. I haven’t even really decorated for Christmas yet except the tree. So while we live with just 6 mugs for a month or so I can assess if that’s a better amount for us (I have a feeling it will be just right - the kids don’t use the mugs except this time of year for hot cocoa).
I think I may have an extra one after I declutter my kitchen 🤞🏼 I don’t think target sells these exact ones anymore (they’re many years old) but I might be able to find something similar.
I notice that you felt the need to POINT OUT that you're able to walk right over and put it where it belongs... Nice to know the novelty isn't wearing off yet, Jamie.👍
That is what gives me peace now! You don’t realize how much stuff is a pain in the butt when the house is disheveled and disorganized like this, but once it’s done, so much that was a little bit of a struggle before becomes easy!
I would put the coffe cups in the cupboard and have the Dutch oven and cookbooks on display 😊 If you put the cat food one shelf down and have the mugs in the top shelf it would look nicer but function the same 😊
I might try that since I was so hesitant to hide the cookbooks anyway! For some reason I’m resisting putting the coffee cups in the cupboard, but really most people have their mugs in a kitchen cupboard so this shouldn’t be that hard for us 😂 they won’t get dusty in there either.
Dear Jamie, I try to provide a perspective: probably there is someone looking out for the rest of their set. Maybe - if you don’t use it yourself - you can help someone else completing a set by selling it ❤ We have heirloom dishes we’re always happy to be able to replace broken cups or plates.
That is a funny place for a breaker box. Wow that area looks so good & love the canisters great job you will smile for a few days every time you see it. I delcutterd1 kitchen shelf yesterday & packed up a donation box of crap I had piled up small steps add up.
That’s definitely the goal - in a lot of cases there is no “away” location which is how things get so messed up in the first place. Eliminating a lot of stuff and clearing out the insides of cabinets, etc to make more “away” space has really been helping to have a specific spot for everything.
Jamie, could you invest in a shallow wall unit with tall, closed side cupboards and a low center piece? The side units would help solve the kitchen overflow and the low center would be your coffee bar and also not interfere with your electrical panel. Also, turn your mugs upside down to help eliminate dust inside them.
I would love to find a piece of furniture that works better like that. There isn’t a lot of width to work with that doesn’t block the walkways, and the breaker box isn’t centered on the wall. A lot of things make it tricky to find something just right for this space. And I can’t hand shelves either because the wall is metal (I think - or maybe even brick) with drywall on top and nothing nails into it more than 1/2” into the drywall. It’s a tough one! If this was a home we owned I’d be investing in new electrical, moving the breaker box, and getting a custom built-in made 🤣🤣 so I guess it’s better we rent so I don’t have to spend that much money lol
Well done. Just a quick question. When you put stuff in your sell pile, do they actually get listed and sell in a good time frame? Or would it just be better to donate them and get it all out of your house?
For the average person I wouldn’t really recommend a sell pile. I only have a sell pile for the vintage things because I have a vintage reselling business. That sale pile is now “inventory” for my business. I have a huge amount now that I’m going through my own collection and I took this month off of working so that I could work on the house and make these videos. (For the last few months I’ve been completely neglecting the house to focus solely on selling, which is in part how things got so bad around here lately). After the holidays I’ll kick up my reselling business again, and generally speaking I do cycle through inventory relatively quickly. And now that I have all this new inventory from my own collections, I don’t need to go shopping or spend money for my business for at least the first few months of the year which will be amazing 😁
It looks great! You’re such a great motivator…I understand why your mixer is there. (No need to explain). It would be nice if u could remove it (since it isn’t used there). U could then move your mugs out of the cupboard.
If you only fill the coffee container halfway with the sticks, are you able to close it? That way they are more diagonal in the container instead of straight up.
That’s what I ended up doing, which is why I kept that other little turquoise basket thingy with the rest of the sticks. After we use them up I’ll get shorter ones and eliminate that little basket altogether 🩵
You have a great channel and you are going to be successful. As I watch I was thinking that there will come a time very quickly that its not about organization so much as a person just has too much and one get weary from trying to manage stuff. It took me a while to sort that out and once I did things got way easier.
Yep, that’s exactly why I’m doing this. Too much stuff makes the organization impossible. And I function much better when everything is meticulously organized.
Hi Jamie, I was thinking if you got a cabinet that would fit on the wall next to the breaker box. So something not as wide and maybe taller. Loved this video. Hope you’re feeling better. ❤❤❤❤ oh I got rid of all my cookbooks except Betty Crocker. 👩🍳🍪
The other problem that I failed to mention is that wall is not made out of drywall and studs. I think it’s some sort of metal sheeting with drywall on top. So I can’t nail anything into it more than 1/2” and it’s just going into drywall. Major reason why I didn’t want mugs hanging on that rack anymore, it is literally barely hanging on to the wall 😂
So weird that they didn't put the breaker box in the garage. Mine is down in the basement, but in the middle of the wall lol, so thankfully, it's not built out otherwise it would be a weird spot.
The burning question that remains: what happened to the waffle iron? I personally like the longer videos/projects. Also, instead of YOU completing the canister set, what if you selling the pieces of your canister set completes other peoples sets. Last - was one of your keeper "special" cookbooks the "I Hate to Cook" Cookbook by Peggy something?🧐😄
The waffle iron has a spot in the garage where I keep the kitchen overflow/small appliances. That area will DEFINITELY be a video all on its own, and part of my kitchen decluttering series which I’m already planning in my head 😂 I do know that my canisters could potentially complete someone else’s set and I will sell incomplete pieces of sets of things quite often for this reason. I just want the complete set for myself, I need to have it, see it, in its completeness in my home. It’s a little wacko, believe me I know 😂 And yes, it’s the I Hate To Cook Book by Peg Bracken 😂😂 it’s hilarious!
I really enjoy your Roulette! Keep it up! But I don’t think the coffee beans will make it behind the sticks ……. to much to move every time. You might want to reconsider
We’ll see how it goes, I just needed to get this space done and after we live with it for a while we can reevaluate how it functions. So far so good, though. We’ve been taking the sticks and coffee out and placing them on top, do the coffee ritual, then put them both back. The sticks also have the brush to get the grounds out of the coffee grinder, so both things are “taken out” and being used if that makes any sense 😂
🤣 my grandma did a version of Swedish death cleaning when she was older - I don’t know if she knew it was called that but it’s definitely what she was doing. She had one mug a couple plates, a water glass or two… it worked really well for her to manage less in her old age (she was in her 90s) so I can see the benefits in certain circumstances 😅
you're explaining your ideas for this spot, remember that this seeems to be mostly kitchen items, and you have animals. so hair- everywhere. personally I would want something closed, plus it seems less cluttered when cabinets close.
You did great! I like the longer video's and it's good that you don't leave the put away, sell, trash crap there on the floor. It would defeat your purpose of decluttering.
I enjoy your talking through the declutters, letting us know your mindset. But when you use my Lords name in vain it stabs me in the heart. I know it's unintentional.
I apologize for that. I’m not religious so it doesn’t carry the weight for me that it does for other people. I will try to be more considerate in the future and stick to my usual cuss words instead 😂 (jk I need to clean up my mouth in general, cussing too!)
I liked the longer video and watched the whole thing. The cupboard looks lovely and good job changing the canisters to a complete set, love the blue pots on display also! I agree with the apron and pot holders only on that rack. Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration!

This is one of the kindest comments I’ve ever gotten. I can’t tell you how much it means to me, I just appreciate it so much. 🩵❤️
Love it! Yes, I would definitely think about putting the mugs behind the cabinet doors. Would keep them dust free, too! 😀
LOVING THESE VIDEOS! I have been waiting for the coffee bar! Rock on!
Great video!!! Love how much you decluttered! That feeling is the best!! Can’t wait to see more!
Good for you for sticking with it! Really nice job!
I'm in agreeance with some of the other people; I absolutely love when you post long videos! This series is great by the way.

Love the incomplete canister set. Totally get why aquiring the tea container is a thing.
You did great! Looks really nice!
What if you got another turquoise bin to put in the middle to put the coffee cups in? So you can slide the bin out and grab your cup
I think I may have an extra one after I declutter my kitchen 🤞🏼 I don’t think target sells these exact ones anymore (they’re many years old) but I might be able to find something similar.
I’m hoping you keep the decluttering roulette going through the next year for the rest of your house ❤😊 it’s a great series
💯 It’s working so well!

@ and you can even put them in a bin for easy access of the ones in the back 😊 Then you can just slide the bin out and reach all of them 😊
Great job Jamie! Happy Saint Lucia's Day from Sweden! 🕯
Yes!!! Glad Lucia!! ❤️🕯️
@@Jamie_ChaoticThank you! 🙂
(And I have no clue what youtube tagged for Saint Lucia Day 😄 )
It looks lovely!!❤
It looks amazing
Fabulous🎉🎉🎉💪👏
Great job it looks good. Be safe. God bless.
Rule of thumb, Best by dates are about 2 years out. Also the birds would love your out of date popped corn😊
Thanks for that info! I never thought about the popcorn for the birds, I’ll definitely do that with the really really expired batch!
You just keep surprising me 💪🏼👏👍😍

I think you mentioned ADHD, something I learned for Hoarder's Heart: "don't put it down, put it away." life changing!

Use the Flour canister for the hot cocoa packets.
I put the coffee filters in there 😁
It was a long one. But so satisfying 🤗
Too long, it took forever to edit 😅 I realized wearing my little microphone makes me talk more and makes the video longer haha.. 😆
you have made me want to make my own fish bowl...unfortuntely that's as far as the desire went....:)

I don’t collect it myself, but I sell it a lot! My aunt has a jadeite collection too so when I come across any I usually offer it to her first haha
I’d like to look at your mid-century modern (vintage) items you have for sale. Can you provide a link? Thank you.
If you head over to my other channel Mid-Century Wasted I have links in the videos to my selling platforms. 😁
