- Hi friends! In this video, we are doing some MAJOR decluttering to my craft desk! There's a little bit of stationery and desk asmr thrown in, and the final result is SUPER satisfying. Use this video as motivation to reset and get organized for the New Year in 2025! 💫
Desk is from ikea so you can use this as ikea desk organization inspiration as well!

Welcome to my 5th official video! ☺️ We took a slight intermission from journaling for some major decluttering and fresh start into the new year 💫 apologies for my audio quality, I’m doing the best I can with what I have but hoping to improve my audio soon 🥹❤️ as always, thanks for being here! - xo, mara 💞
I always start the process of decluttering by putting like items together. This makes it easier to then decide where their home is and then go place it there asap. ❤
@@butterflybaby429 yesss good tip! 🫶🏼
Yes. And really, who knows if they have 68 blue biros and 921 paper clips unless they are all together.
As Peter Walsh says, like with like and don't put it down, put it away. Personally, I prefer that it is easy to put away, so that is usually my focus when I am panic tidying up because my frienemy call to say they are coming over... lol.
New viewer❤ Happily subscribed to support your channel ✨️ Watching from sunny 🌞 SW Florida ~Michelle
Welcome!! ☺️ greetings from snowy Washington! ❄️🌲 so happy you’re here :)
@mara.mcginnis Thank you, Mara💖 So happy I found your channel 😊
Thanks for your honesty of how a crafting desk gets crazy because that was very real! ❤
Love this video! I love realistic instead of aspirational decluttering!! Looks like a lovely place to craft now!!
Thank you so much! ❤️ & i’m glad you appreciated the realistic aspect! ☺️
Love this! Love that you show the realistic side to having a creative hobby that requires a lot of “things”🤭 it can be so hard to keep it all organised 😅😂 love your space 💕
Hehe thanks Morgan! 💖 And omg it’s a never ending battle to keep it organized!! The way my desk is already messy again 😂😅❤️
omg I just saw this video 🥹 thank you for the shoutout!! 💓 you’re so sweet mara, I absolutely love everything that you do 💐
Of course Mar! 🥰 always happy to share how amazing and creative you are! Thank you as well for your sweet words ☺️💕
Love the decluttering and organizing! this is one of my favorite things to watch and do to destress 🥰
The after looks so amazing especially going into the new year! ✨
Thanks Rochelle!! ☺️ it felt so good to have it all clear! although I will say all the fresh space welcomed in new craft messes so current state of my desk definitely does not look like this anymore! 😂🩷
@@mara.mcginnis lol totally understand 🤣that is usually what happens to me as well! it's still always nice even if it was a short amount of time💕
My first video with you-loved it. I live in a small space and need to use my desk for day to day life and crafts/planning. I keep it pretty neat but love to watch others organize to keep me motivated. The best part of your video-for me- was seeing your rug. I have the same one! Happy to subscribe. Happy New Year!
Awww! So happy to have you here! 🥰 rug twins!!! It’s such a pretty rug ☺️ thank you for subscribing and happy new year! 🫶🏼
I like that it’s such a realistic cleaning video and that you explain your process. Congrats on powering through! 🎉I would have gotten so overwhelmed with everything on the floor.😂
The way I wanted to give up sooo many times!!! 😂❤️ thank you for appreciating me powering through & the realistic aspect of it 🤭❤️🫶🏼
The after is so pretty. I also love the colours you wear, they suit you.
Aww thank you! ☺️💖
Love this! I declutterred right alongside you
Looove that! ☺️🫶🏼
Alex drawers is so hard for me to organize. I finally gave up and gave mine away.
Thanks for sharing the coloring books ❤!
Happy to share!! 🥰
I love your presentation and I color to relax too😊
Aww thanks! 😊 I'm glad it helps you relax too!
The amount of journals you have. Yesssssss. 😊😂❤
Hahah omg! 🙈💖 I really do have a ton, but so glad you can appreciate it!! 🤭💓
love this!! my boyfriend and I are moving into a two bedroom apt and are going to have to share an office/ craft space similar to this and this helped so much with organization planning
Sharing a space can definitely be tricky so im glad this could help! :) Hope you guys enjoy your new place ☺️
@@mara.mcginnis thank you!!
Looks so good!!!
Gworrrlll thank you for all the love today 🤭💓
Also, congratulations on your 5th official video. I really love your channel.
Thank you so much! ❤️ That means a lot to me 🥰
It looks great! A clean desk is so inviting. 😊
Thank you! ☺️ and yesss I agree it is definitely more inviting! :)
Looks great. Only suggestion i have is if his stuff is distracting maybe make a partition wall, maybe one out of shelves (storage for both of u) ❤
Oooo great idea! ☺️
decluttering is one of my 2025 goals so this was super inspiring!
@@njking28 I’m so glad this video found you at the right time! 🫶🏼💫 thanks for watching ☺️
Omg your craft room reminds me of my own but I think mine is much worse. I’ve been too sick to clean & organize it. Praying that I’m able to tackle it soon.
Hoping you get better soon! ❤️ I love that you have a similar craft room. Mine did not stay clean and organized for long hahah it's a never ending battle!
Nice! I like your narration and video! You got a lot of work done!
Aww thank you! And it was definitely a lot of work I wanted to give up so many times 😂😅❤️
Thank you for the inspiration, I’m going into my craft space right now!
:)
This makes me happy! 🥰
I need to do this for my desk area! I had hoped to get it done before new years but I'm not 100% I'll finish it, but this motivated me so much! happy 5th video!!!
thank you ☺️ & yesss glad it could motivate you! You so got this!! Although my desk has already gotten messy since filming this 😂❤️ never ending battle 😅
Can I just thank you so much for not using a vacuum to clean out the drawers lol every time I see people do that, I'm just like... There is no way, that is how people really clean the drawers
Hahah thank you for appreciating that! ❤️
to be fair, I only ever really use a vacuum to clean out the drawers if there's something I can't quite get and then I'll go through again with a microfiber cloth and my favorite cleaning spray!
✨I vacuum where there is glitter.... ✨
Was gonna say depends what’s in the drawer.
Yes but doesn’t ANY young person on UA-cam own a wet washcloth or microfiber cloth to clean,rinse,wring,repeat? Those dry paper towels were like fingernails on a chalkboard!😳😖😵💫(actually,even the ones who use a real cloth,always use it dry! Isn’t anyone being taught how to clean anymore?)
Love everything about this!!! Can I come journal with u on your desk! You are the best company with the best vibes and that light in the room would be chef's kiss!
Urmila! ☺️ one daaaayyy!! 🫶🏼 the lighting wanted to see me win this day! 😂
@@mara.mcginnis absolutely!!!
What a beautiful video! I loved everything about it! I'm following you on IG and I'm so happy you're making UA-cam videos, too ❤! Happy New Year 🎊! To many more videos to come 😊...
Aww thank you so much!! 🥰 ahh such an honor to have you following me on both platforms! 🥹 so happy you’re here ☺️💞🫶🏼
Ha-Hal looks like my own struggle right now-organized chaos! 😂
Hahah riiiight! 😂😅 glad you get it 😆
Great video so inspiring. Thank you!😊
Aww yay so glad you felt inspired! Thank you so much!! 🥰
I like to put small square and rectangular shape tubs in the drawers to contain little stuff
Here from threads🎉
That’s awesome! ☺️ thanks for stopping by on my video :)
Well done!
@@introvert22 thank you so much! ❤️
Love it!! I think you inspired me to take real look at the mess that is my desk! 😂 need to do some organizing. Where did you get that spinny acrylic pen/marker holder?
Hahah I love that! & I got it from the make up organizer section at Marshall’s! :)
I Reorganized and decluttered my office yesterday! Now I have room for the 2nd desk/work table we have been NEEDING! Thanks for the inspo ❤❤. Now to see if I get lucky at Marshall’s 😊
Great job!
Thank you! ☺️🩷
Many thanks for the video Mara and Happy new year! I like your desk - and the matching cabinets - where did you get it from ? Can you share the link please ? Many thanks
Happy new year to you too! ☺️ I don’t have a link but they are the Alex drawers from ikea :)
So nice 🤗😊
@@happiness1988 thank you! ☺️
Great video and you are so pretty ❤ new sub!
@@planwithkellye2926 aww thank you so much! 💞 & welcome! :) So glad to have you here 🥰
Where is your rug from? It is so adorable!
It's from Amazon! :) I had a few people ask about it so I just put the exact link to the rug in my description box if you ever need it! 🌸
I’d appreciate it if you share the rug link .. I’m obsessed it looks cute
Aw thank you! :) I just put the exact link to the rug in my description box for you! 🌸 let me know if you have trouble finding it!
@I did , thank you 🎀💓
Feeling motivated to tackle my own craft mess. Great video. Where did you get that small lazy susan that you put your pens in on your desk?
I got it from Marshall’s! In the make up organizer section :)
Where did you get those clay kits? I’ve never seen anything like that seems like a fun and less intimidating way to get into clay
They are from Clay moo! :) they’re so fun!!!
Can you tell me what cleaner you were using? Thanks
Yayyy!!!!❤❤❤
☺️🤭💞💞
New subblie! Love the desk! Do you have a link?
I’m so happy to have you here! ☺️ I don’t have a link but they are the Alex drawers from ikea :)
do you not have issues with the alchohol markers bleeding through? or what materials do you use to colour the thinner colouring books?
@@StephsAntics there is bleed through but to avoid that I put cardstock paper behind each page I color!
@@mara.mcginnis oh ! that makes alot of sense ! the ohuhus look really good i need to look into them
You live in Portland ? Like Morgan Long ❤❤❤❤
@@O8CanddyCaroll not exactly Portland but a train ride away! ☺️
Mach doch mal eine 'NO BUY CALLANGE' 😂
You are going to catch that poof stool on that rug every time. Partially under the desk, changes the zone as well.
👍

Alcohol markers should not be stored vertically so the ink won’t dry out in one nib as it pools in the opposite one.
I store mine horizontally so the ink doesn't settle down in the tip. They only have one tip.
Why is the desk so far away from the wall?
there’s something below the window that prevents me from pushing it flush against the wall!
What’s with the enhanced sounds? I’ve noticed in a lot of videos every sound is made louder… why is that?
What is this desk??
IKEA.
