There's nothing more gratifying than waking up & coming home to a clean & organized home! Never leave a room empty-handed (is my motto)! If you get up from a room, pick stuff up that may belong in the kitchen or bathroom. It'll make it all worth while to stay organized! Giggling over here as you demonstrate how you don't do "speed cleaning videos" lol! I'm having so much fun watching you clean, and I"ll pause so I can do some cleaning myself! So much fun!
Normally I watch your videos with my morning coffee. But today I got off my bahookie and worked along side you and it made the task easier somehow. It's interesting what triggers us to get things done. My husband enjoys listening to your videos, especially the cooking ones and when you talk about life in Scotland as that is part of his heritage. Thanks for your inspiration!
I love zone cleaning with you Diane! I've been playing your videos while zone cleaning for a while now and it helps to make the time go by faster and holds me accountable!
Happy Monday! It is Memorial Day holiday here in the states. I was happy to listen to a longer video as it encouraged me to walk 10 extra minutes on the treadmil😊70 minutes done which was 3.5 miles, plus an upper arm workout. Now, off to do my WHB! I got a new "swoosh-swoosh" mop coming tomorrow after seeing yours! It was a bargain buy, and will work perfect for our place. I like your rearranged LR! I used to love moving the furniture around in our previous larger home. It always gave a more "hyggely" feeling to the room, like a fresh, new coziness! Now, our LR is so small, that I have to think hard about how to move things for hygee😁😉 But, I am encouraged by the 60/30/10 philosophy. Ours would be greyish- beige 30, white 60, and 10, maybe a minimal misc accessories color, like clear green or navy.
I LOVE changing the furniture around! Not a lot of scope for it in this house, but I still do a bit. I think I might do my bedroom... on another note: keeping routines and sticking to that timer is getting me through this busy time of year! I'm working on FOUR vegetable gardens and my time AND energy are spread thin! We finally got summer here... your heat wave has moved in! It has been 32 - 34°C here since Friday and is to continue through Tues! I finally turned the A/C on last night - made it 2 1/2 days without, but the humidity is rising. Thanks for your guidance and inspiration!
My mom was always so insistent that we clean off the living room table before we went to bed, put the remote near the tv, fold up the blankets and put the pillows back in place. I always thought she was ridiculous but now that I live in my own, I can see her point.
Bank holiday and half term in UK this week . I'll do my routines today but I'm having a lazy day today. I've got a very sore throat and aching legs. Enjoying your Interesting video in bed before I start my day. I must get up now and shower before my husband's carers come. Have a great week. Lol Margaret in Wales
Must be something in the air...I had a blah week as well. Thank you for keeping me on the right path. Not sure what I’d do with out you. Thanks a bunch!
P.S. (Diane, I just wanted to send this "Thank you" note to you.) I was doing my WHB today and changing out the sheets. I wanted to add that it always helps to motivate me by the act of playing one of your "changing the sheets" videos. As I was changing the duvet, I realized how thankful I was for your method of inside-out duvet, grabbing the 2 corners and then shaking the duvet inside. Ours is king-sized, and before your tips, I had never been able to change out the duvet so effortlessly and happily! So..THANK YOU for this teaching moment...along with the quick dusting of the end tables and dresser with the pillowcases. You have made my WHB task not a "dreaded one" anymore, and our bedroom now feels like a spa everyday with the fresh linens weekly! So... here's to a big shout out to you to say: Thank you!!!
So funny..I rearranged my living room furniture last week also!😁 Wanted to be able to see front and back gardens from the windows. So now have better views🌳🌹🌷🌾Why only let neighbors walking by enjoy them??. Happy day, Reggie
Like your new arrangement. You're doing a great job training your son, he'll be a good helpful husband someday. 😀. Are you the pianist of the family? It's Memorial Day here in the States so other than my daily routines I'm choosing fun today. A real scorcher here today, it's 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 Celsius) and it isn't even 10am yet. 🌞🇺🇸🤓. Have a great week!
I know what you mean feeling energized when you're dressed to shoes. I feel more energized in comfy clothes (leggings, but not loose sweatpants or pajama pants I think because I hate stepping on them if they're long) for some reason I can't stand working or being in the house with jeans on, to constricting. To each their own!
Have a look in your local bookshop and see which one feels "right" for you and for your needs. It will depend on what size of handwriting you have, if you want to also make notes, write down meals, etc.
❣Hi, Diane, I've the same dust-thingy in green and will use it soon;-)... and I like to move things around, too. I've moved the sofa area over to the book shelves and now I see, the books need a 'makeover'... We've such an amount of books, that thinking about going through them make me sweating... we rarely use the Enzyclopadias, we ask Mr. Google ... maybe I'll start with them, because 1978 isn't very up to date. They were so expensive at that time, that I'm hesitating to throw them away. What, if the Internet has a blackout?? These thoughts are the stones on my way...where I sit down and complain instead of starting. Well, anyway, you did a good job and really, you don't need a gym;-): up and down, bowing and stretching, all exercises are included and it didn't cost you an øre! After some thunder and rain yesterday the sun is back and I'll start my 'sun-reading-outdoor routine', of course after my indoor routine:-))). Thank you for keeping us on the road to a calming sourrounding. Love, Monika❣
Monika Marsollek LOL, Monika! 😄If the internet comes crashing down, I think you will have other things on your mind than dusty, out-of-date reference books 😁 Have a lovely day! ☔☀️
Hi Dianne, I haven’t been seeing your videos & I can see that you have been posting them. I’m still subscribed. Do you happen to know how I can start seeing them in my subscriptions list again? I’m missing your motivation. 💖
Hi Melissa! If you look underneath my videos, next to the subscribe button there is also a bell button. Click on that and you should receive an email notification. I usually post Monday to Friday but will be posting less over the summer.
The 60-30-10 pattern is a very helpful concept for room/home harmony. I will start working with it; thanks! I am painting the house and want to paint the living room & dining area a nice white. The problem is which "white". I have sample patches all over the walls!!! I don't want anything too yellow, too bluish or too bright. Can I ask which type of white you have on your walls? I've noticed that "white" walls are very popular in the north countries. All ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I can donate the ones to the library that we don’t love and pare them down to start. We have been donating other books to our library, since our children have grown. Hopefully soon there may be room on the bookshelves for the remaining music books.
Would you consider a whole house tour? Would love to see from the outside in and get a better idea of your floor plan. So fun to see homes from other countries. Also, when will we ever see the Mr.?
Hi! No, you won't ever see my husband or the kids. I'm here to be your cheerleader and share how I do my routines, life in Denmark, etc but I like to give my family some privacy.
I like that phrase "One foot in front of the other", there's also a song with that title that's quite motivating. ua-cam.com/video/Wwac6mRHF2A/v-deo.html

I LOVE it when you say "Ra ra ra " with your pom poms! So cute!
I love your longer videos. Never too long for me! Great tips and motivation today. Thank you, my across the water friend!

Like your blouse. I think your living room w old look good with pillows the same colour as your dining room chairs ...The Wife 🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that top!!! I had a chuckle to myself when you pointed to yourself about the chocolate.
Thanks, Diane! Great video! Ioved the explanation of your decorating style! It's lovely,
Love your reading corners! Very cosy 👌🏼
Hakuna matata Thanks! Yes, it makes it easy for me to pamper myself with a spot of reading, etc, when I have a cosy place to sit 🤗

Hello again, Julie! So glad the little tips have helped you! We really do need to make things more enjoyable for ourself 😍
We sure do!
This was a very nice week beginning, thank you!
muhlenstedt Hope you have a wonderful week! 🎉🎉🎉
I already done my routines this morning and watch you , iv got the lights to dust thanks Diane
Love your channel. I like how you have us join in on the cleaning very motivating.🌸
So funny..I rearranged my living room furniture last week also!😁
Wanted to be able to see front and back gardens from the windows. So now have better views🌳🌹🌷🌾Why only let neighbors walking by enjoy them??.
Happy day,
Reggie
Morning Diane thanks for the 60/30/10 tip
Great video! Thanks for the 60-30-10 tip! Your new blouse looks so nice on you:)
Thank you- loved those tips from IKEA! Excellent ideas xx
Thanks for mentioning it is ok to dress nice to clean. Really makes a difference. I feel the same way. I wear a pinafore on top to keep clean.

Hi Diane great video! Where can we purchase a calendar like that? Which style do you recommend for the "flylady " system?? 🤔
Have a look in your local bookshop and see which one feels "right" for you and for your needs. It will depend on what size of handwriting you have, if you want to also make notes, write down meals, etc.
How do you clean your window covers/blinds?

Hahaha, how right you are!! Who puts this funny thoughts into my mind??? I guess I need to declutter my mind first:-)))
Great tipp with the 60-30-10 rule! But climbing chairs for dusting is a no no Diane! Too dangerous!
Okay, Mum, thanks! 😜 And hope you enjoy the 60-30-10, Tina!

Where did you get the bookcases? Lov lov! Also what is pic behind sofa? The outfit looks great on u!😊
The bookcases are custom built here in Copenhagen. The picture is abstract...something I painted many years ago 😄
Diane in Denmark love both the picture and bookcases. I like how not all the way to floor! Thx😍

I've noticed that "white" walls are very popular in the north countries. All ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Most common white is RAL 9010
We always go for a white which has a teeny tiny bit of warm yellow in it, in order to give the room a little warmth.
Thank you so much for your input. It helps me to narrow down my choice.
Thank you for your info. I'll try to find something comparable.
Do you have a good place to store piano books? Ours are all over our piano!
I can donate the ones to the library that we don’t love and pare them down to start. We have been donating other books to our library, since our children have grown. Hopefully soon there may be room on the bookshelves for the remaining music books.
How about your put a basket on top or beside the piano. So the books are accessible but won't look so messy to the eye because they are in one holder?
Do you have a piano chair where you can open the seat and put the books in?
Would you consider a whole house tour? Would love to see from the outside in and get a better idea of your floor plan. So fun to see homes from other countries. Also, when will we ever see the Mr.?
