- AYYOOO who's ready for my very first NON-ART-RELATED video? If you're anything like me, you probably have way too much stuff (trash and otherwise) in your house. My clutter situation got to the point where I finally HAD to get rid of stuff so that I could make room for my new art business.
]It took me 5 months(!!!) to film this and finish the decluttering, because I kept taking lonnngg breaks away from home. I hope u like watching!!

I like how this declutter is quite normal??? No excessive amounts of clothes/shoes/etc. Just a normal apartment, with good decluttering. I love it!
As a plant person, I am immensely proud of you. Getting rid of plants that do not spark joy is the path to freedom. Also, YAY for unrealistic goals that take longer to complete than we think they will because they get us MOVING and that is the point. Good work, Gabi.
So true hah - I had a geranium that I was not into and she was so high maintenance! Felt a lot lighter after parting ways
Yeah but how do you get rid of them, where?
Ok, but why do u have to trow them into the trash?
I keep my dead plants thinking they’ll come back …
@@WinterEdition I get rid of mine by selling or giving away on local plant facebook groups
This is so realistic. U didn’t need to buy bunch of new organizers just to declutter, clean up, and organize your things. You made use of what’s available and what you already have. You also showed that you need to invest time and effort to do this and it’s okay to take it one day at a time. This video motivated me to clean and declutter my room and our living room, thank you so much this video!
YES!!! I love that this video wasn't sponsored by The Container Store or other organizing products company.
Yes! I just watched another channel going from horder to «minimalist» and after throwing A lot away she bought A ton of fancy boxes and jars to display and put the things she had left in.
You are not a trash hoarder. You are a responsible person who doesn't want to be wasteful. This will help you in the future to accumulate less unnecessary stuff. Also, if you keep up regular decluttering over time, giving away stuff others can still use is much easier because it's just a couple of things here and there. You did great with this big reset!
Girl you KILLED IT. Too many times you see people advertise a giant declutter then they get rid of barely anything. No false advertisement here! Great job ❤
Decluttering has helped me take stock of what is important to me over time. First time I did a large declutter, it was mostly stuff I had accumulated over the years that had lost their connection to me in the present. It was like finding myself in all this stuff I had. So now what I do have reflects me and makes me happier, even if it still seems like a lot at times. I also have a better understanding of what I enjoy so when I purchase new things they stick around longer and I don't need as much.
OHHH YESS I relate to all of this so much. I wanna get to that point where truly everything I own feels relevant but I think it’ll be an ongoing process to get there!
I appreciate the moments you can have remembering who you used to be. And then you can move on by getting rid of the stuff you don't need anymore!
The fact you did this bit by bit over a longer period of time is actually SO motivating. Smashing it out in a weekend/week is just not doable for so many of us, but this is actually achievable. Thank you!
it is so unfortunate that i watched this at midnight because now i want to clean my whole apartment
Please film more declutter videos in the future if you do them! This was great. Stuff is constantly coming into our lives and I have found it helpful to loosely follow a every month get rid of 30 things for 30 days” rule. Helps me reflect on what I allow in my space that takes up physical/mental energy!
She can't she cleans once in a year!!!
i just love how realistic this video is. decluttering is exhausting, tiring, messy and.... sometimes you dont feel satisfied after doing it. and of course, its not a process thats made in three days.... btw, rest in peace roald
Hahahah😂 I also laughed when she said Raold😂 like, idk why, but it's just the perfect name for a long lost toy.😂
I haven't met a single other person in my friend group that "hoardes" items for sustainability reasons other than me!! that was super validating that you shared that with us. I thank you cause seeing you let go has given me inspiration to do the same. For example, I keep every single gift bag and wrapping paper I ever receive.... like for what!?
I actually love that you put the dates for each day that you worked on this because it’s so hard!! Lots of people just do it in a solid week but after like a couple hours I’m just wiped! Much love for just taking it at a good pace and knowing that you do better when you come back fresh because same!
I TOTALLY relate to keeping things around because you hate throwing stuff away!! It is one of the biggest hurdles for me when decluttering, and it’s so overwhelming. Glad I’m not alone in that!
Also this popped up in my recommended videos and I’m so glad it did-instant subscribe because I dig your vibe! ✨
honestly this was so motivating to watch because it's so real. i relate to a lot of the things you hang onto for longer than necessary like boxes, empty plant pots, etc and feel a lot of guilt and sadness abt the idea of getting rid of things but this video makes me feel a lot less intimidated by those feelings. thank you for showing me that this is achievable for me too
Thank you for bringing real life into my UA-cam feed again, you're amazing.
Omg thank u! I’m glad u liked the vid :)))
Edit: for anyone wondering my couch is from Floyd! She’s my daughter and I love her.
Wooohooo!! Hope u enjoy watching my quest to SIMPLIFY MY STUFF. Can anyone relate to my trash hoarding tendencies? Plz say yes 😅
Ugh yes, I also keep random packaging like the stuff you had in the top of your closet! Sometimes it's really high quality, well-designed packaging and feels so sad to throw away?? But I have also not found a use for any of it in the years I've been hoarding it, so... (The one exception was a cookie tin that I now use to store sewing supplies!)
Same here, I have soo many boxes lol
Yes I can relate to the box hoarding. Guilty! I am actually in the middle of cleaning my apt and getting rid of stuff. Your video has given me a boost to keep on going. Lol not a wise choice doing it while I am on PTO but it has to be done. 😊 😊😊
I 100% do lol, I will say that going to the container store and getting a label maker helps so much and makes everything so pretty, I feel like it makes me try harder to stay organized
I definitely get the box/packaging hoarding! One thing I'll say - I regret getting rid of certain types of gift bags, shipping paper and good tissue paper, but I never regret getting rid of old boxes and styrofoam. When it comes to giftwrap, anything that's sparkly or shiny isn't recyclable. If I can reuse packaging paper as giftwrap, it's recyclable for the giftee and relieves some of that guilt in a purposeful way :).
In regard to recycling - I was a recycling educator for two years and have been in the sustainability industry for 12. If any viewers aren't sure what they can recycle, please remember NOT to recycle according to what the packaging says (kudos to tofu goob for educating herself and knowing little strips of paper aren't recyclable!). Recycling is LOCAL and varies. Check out your recycle hauler's website, municipality site, and local advocacy group info. Tons of good info, just not from product manufacturers :(
If you're feeling a lot of guilt about your waste stream, try to shop your home first, then hit the thrift stores before buying new (both options are 100% guilt free)
Learning about fabric recycling has really helped me in my own de-cluttering journey! There are places (sometimes bins or clothing stores depending on where you are geographically) were you can take you unusable fabrics like destroyed shoes or holey socks and they'll be recycled! Not a perfect solution, but one step above the landfill!
im the biggest fan of decluttering videos(im basically monica geller irl) and i have quite easily seen every video out there on decluttering. but girl this is VERY easily the most satisfying and genuine decluttering video ive ever laid my eyes on. instant follow.
I know you posted this video 3 months ago, but it really did help me. I was searching youtube for motivation and searched best way to declutter an apartment and yours was one that showed in the results. I love seeing the reality of it taking you 7 days and that you had to take breaks. I get very distracted and discouraged thorough out the process. And I as well get overwhelmed with what I want to keep and how I will dispose of or get rid of the items I'm not using. Thank you for being real and sharing your decluttering process!
Watching this as motivation to declutter my room. I am a massive sentimental hoarder and a “what if I need it” hoarder but I loved when you said that you could always repurchase something if you ever needed it/wanted it in the future but right now you don’t. That mindset instantly made me think of how much I could get rid of because I never use it and I’m just keeping it in case i ever do.
I really appreciated that you didn’t buy anything to declutter!! Makes it feel real and is great to see
I approach my clutter with like this same mindset omg! like I keep SO much with good intention but then it all just snowballs and I have to force myself to be realistic, while still challenging myself to get rid of things as sustainably as my situation allows. I appreciate your transparency so much.
I tried starting my decluttering journey March 2023 when I had a full week off of work. I agree, I regret taking that time to do that rather than just not be stressed out. I also only went through my clothes and books in that week. I got rid of 90 books and 4-5 bags of clothes but then I also struggled with how to get rid of them and it wasn't until July I finally had a garage sale, took them to a used clothes donation place and sold my books at the used bookstore. Now it's getting to be the end of the year and this video has motivated me to remember the rest of my house and just go for it!
This has been the most real and relatable decluttering video I’ve found ever - thank you for sharing your journey. I share some of the same struggles with letting go of things and can apply what I’ve seen here. Absolutely love your approach
LOVED your video. You’re so easy to watch, and your apartment is so cheery and adorable. It’s fun to watch someone with my same taste and interests declutter. Thank you!
Thank you for giving me the energy I needed to start packing and organizing
I love this. I related to you so much, I often struggle with feelings of guilt when throwing things away or giving them away. It's refreshing to see someone also has the same problem, and seeing them manage it. Thank you! 🩷
Aw I’m glad!! Thank u!!
I actually used your video as a guide and as motivation. And, so thank you for that!
I so appreciated this video. I got up and started decluttering with you. Felt like I had company and motivation. Thank you
Love your energy. 💫
Thank you very much for this declutter video😊 it helped me very much to feel inspired for decluttering my own home. Thank you for being so realistic,honest and relatable :)
Yay thanks for sharing this!! Totally relate to trash hoarding. I loved the “can’t think about how to get rid of things while sorting what to keep or not” approach. Seems so helpful.
Thank you for showing the real time line. It helped me to be kinder to myself
You motivated me!! I paused a few times to go declutter stuff throughout the day and will do more tomorrow! Thank you so much 🥹🥹
very satisfying to watch your space open up. good job on setting your goal and persevering!
ty for such a relatable video! I played it on the side while I decluttered my own space
I really enjoyed this! It was such a genuine decluttering video, and the feelings you described I can wholly relate to! ❤️
i love these kind of video , i play them whenever i am cleaning , keep company and def motivates you to keep cleaning and organizing
Yes! U did amazing! Imperfect is the only way to get thru it! So realistic and it definitely motivated me to declutter my dresser and dining room!😅
I’ve been decluttering for a couple years and each time i get rid of more but keep the things I actually love. I’m starting to get to a point where im not overwhelmed and everything feels intentional. So keep at it girl!
instead of feeling bad about getting rid of things, we can focus on not letting things we don't want/love/need into our lives! great video
Cute, funny, & real. This video was great! Thank you for sharing. 🤗
Your video came up in my suggestions while sitting on the couch trying to find the courage to fold my laundry. Now, I am watching this video while folding my laundry - you gave me the motivation. Thank you 🙏🏼
You did such a good job letting things go in your closet. Awesome!
This was so motivating and fun to watch, thank you very much for sharing!!
love this perspective. just put them aside and don't feel pressured to decide how you will get rid of it right in that moment.
the library is a great resource for cookbooks! i love cookbooks but they definitely take up space.
This is so calming and relaxing. Thank you!
decluttering is so tiring and you're so real for this vid. started decluttering a few months ago and i relate to this whole vid so much.
Omg no poor baby! That plant is healthy and growing in its natural shape! It's used to growing on walls and is perfect for a living wall! I love that plang and I was actually surprised how big it is!
And I actually believe you can just cut them shorter and stick them into the earth, they'll grow new roots and live on🙈 that's at least what I've learned in my internship at a great gardening place
I found your video while doing decluttering in my house and it was so so cool to just do my stuff while listening to you. Like it’s really helped me to relax and realize that I’m not alone with all of those feelings. I do the same thing with leaving stuff and then finding it a year later like Taylor forgetting I didn’t throw it out for some reason. Thanks a lot for the video!
Just came across your channel because I'm currently decluttering my apartment one closet at a time. Love how realistic & transparent you are. And as a fellow artist, looking forward to watching your art content as well- Thanks for sharing & motivating me to continue decluttering - you're a rockstar✨
i just decluttered my closet and omg thank you
this was so motivating
This video is everything. The mindset that you have about guilt and hoarding is exactly how/why I have little weird piles of useless stuff all over my little apartment. I’ve tried several times to declutter but I’m re-inspired to tackle it again. Thank you! ❤️
I’m just taking a motivational bath and watching decluttering videos to set me in a good mood!
Looking at other people’s spaces give me hope knowing I am not the only one who keeps too much stuff, and that by doing it step by step I can achieve living in a space I enjoy ❤️
Thanks for showing us the whole process, it is really motivating me to start this journey!
i was declutterring/ cleaning my room while i was watching this! thank you it was so calming and nice to have someone clean with me 🤭
Thank you for posting this! I watch decluttering videos and yours made my mind click. While watching I saw clothes that you were giving away that I'd love to have and it made me realize (as I'm currently decluttering myself) that me giving away clothes I don't like or wear can make others appreciate and love them more than I can. To give that happiness forward :)
I LOVE THAT COOKBOOK!! I consider it a piece of art. It's so beautiful. I plan on keeping mine when I declutter again. It's something that really brings me joy, even just reading the author's words and looking at all of the gorgeous photos.
I love how everyone is decluttering and making their life easier.
Organizing & cleaning always makes me feel relaxed, today I was not feeling well enough to do it my self so watching your video was a nice alternative! :)
listening while decluttering my own place haha it's giving me that extra motivation ! Really feeling the "everything looks the exact same" afterwards 😭😆 it's really a process, and it's as frustrating as it's rewarding😅
Your Declutter video has to be my favorite yet and I've been watching declutter videos since 2017. You did a great job and definitely bask In your accomplishments and amire your values. I believe you'll find what is your best hobbies/lifestyle and find your stay in it. Oh! and nice knitted scarf, you made me feel like I wanted to order one from you. Thank you for showing this.
Decluttering for me is such a fun experience! It's sometimes a struggle for me to differentiate between "I like and will use it this" and "I don't like this/I like this but not in a way where I can use it" when thinking about what things I want to keep, but I'm getting better at trusting my decisions. I'm glad you got to simplify your space!
I am now a knew subscriber I at one time had 25 different shampoos on my tub /shower . I finally found the one I love & that is all I have now. Thank you for the motivation & the time you put into making this for us ,to get us moving .I am now off to declutter my kitchen . Have a lovely day !
This video came around to me at the right time. My twins are starting daycare and I have a window of opportunity before I go back to work. I've been having a hard time mustering the energy to work on decluttering our house. This has motivated me!
never seen your channel befand i absolutely LOVE how bright the colours in the video seem. very west anderson, and very chill vibes 🥰
I loved this. It inspired me to declutter, thank you! You have great personality
"I am one person, why do I have so many shirts?" I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. All the other women who make declutter videos and tiktoks would NEVER and it drives me insane. You do not need that many clothes!!! you've worn most of them once and then never again!! stop it!!
Super relatable vid, loved your vibe 😊✨ I’m totally going to go organize my command hook draw now. It’s chaos! I also liked how you mentioned your feelings associated with declutter in and waste. It’s a huge part of life these days and finding realistic ways to combat it is great content in my opinion.
Wow, I feel like we are very similar in how we declutter and organize!! I'm also an artist too so have a lot of the same things. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Great job decluttering! I've been doing that recently and I have to really think about what I bring in and what I take out in my small space. Congrats on getting it done and being motivated! I love the beautiful pictures on your walls.
I love how honest you show your process and how it seems so real and not made up or staged, thx for this and I love your place!
Thank you so much for an HONEST decluttering video. The fact that it took you a long time to do is encouraging. Sometimes it feels like people expect it all to happen at once and it just doesn’t.
Thank you so much for sharing this journey because it really helped put into perspective for myself how long the journey can be and how it’s okay if you don’t get it done in one day or even one week. I’ve always tried to do it all in one sitting without succeeding aha and this helped me realize it’s okay and VERY realistic to stretch it out as a long term project and take it as you can. 🙏🏻❤️
Your apartment is so cute! Love the colour theme 🌷
The level of commitment to doing your whole apartment, kudos! A very satisfying video to watch.
This was great! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm happy you're feeling better in your space.
Your apartment is so beautiful and colorful! I think you did a great job!! 😊
Thank you for this video!!! ❤
Wow, this was so great to watch!! I can relate to your thought process. Its real. It's difficult. It's life. I'm very proud of you. Keep clobbering it, girl!! 😊
Thank you for sharing this with us. I was fighting an anxiety attack this morning before work, and watching this video helped me feel like productive improvements were getting done - which helped me to breathe easier and not panic. I really appreciate that. 😊
Thank you for sharing!
I feel like I can really relate to you in terms of the things you keep excess off, the things that are hard to get rid of, and the reasons you end up keeping things. I also have my packaging materials hoard and random plastic tidbits because I have to take them all the way to a store that recycles plastic film. So I found this super useful. Things I'm taking away from your example include leaving sorting the "Things to Get Rid Of" to the end and also remembering to not prepare too far in advance for the seasons I'm not in yet. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love how you decorate your apartment ❤❤ I'm still figuring out how I like my space to look like but yours feels like something I can get inpspiration from
This has been the most relatable video on decluttering and the feelings of guilt that come with it all - thank you!
totally resonate with the guilt! like plastic etc wrappers or packaging that can be used to hold trash when traveling/whatnot...i hv a whole pile
You did amazing!💕 I know it's hard, I did this a couple years back and I felt like I could finally breathe. I grew up in a hoarder house so it also healed a part of me.
What a lovely vibe your apartment has! The colours, plants, and lighting look so good :)
Thank you, your style inspired me in addition to the decluttering!
I always love to watch these types of videos while I do it myself with my stuff 🩷
Just moved into a new home. Honestly this is what I needed to see. I was in the process of going through clothes and organizing closets when I just started getting rid of things while watching your video. Thank you!
Coming back to my appartment after spending about 6 months at my parents place, I needed to do some SERIOUS decluttering and cleaning. Watching your video as im cleaning out my closet. Haha
This is the first decluttering video out of the hundreds I've watched that brought me joy, motivated me, and made me excited to declutter.
It was so helpful to watch your realistic process and allow myself grace to not commit to doing it all at once and perfectly, i.e. fancy containers, complicated systems, and mental warfare. LOL! Thanks so much for the inspiration and for sharing this with us.
Thank you for being so real and honest it's so refreshing to see someone who acknowledges their own imperfections. This is so relatable.
Looks ace. Well done. Inspired ❤
I’m so glad I found someone doing this in a small apartment with like normal things lol. Books and art supplies is so hard for me. But I have NO space for hobbies. Thanks for posting!
this is the first video I watched of you and I love the cozy vibes 🥰
I love that you shared about it taking you 5 months. I didn’t realize that from the video. You definitely inspired me to declutter my own belongings. I’ve honestly been wanting to do it for months now. I might even film myself doing it & share it as well. The thought of recording myself is what’s been lowkey kind of stopping me…but I think it’d be fun. Lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps things because I can't recycle them. It's difficult but validating to see your struggle.
I love how artistic she looks and her living space represents her soo well.
