    You did a great job Sophia!!! No point in worrying about the tea... we all have done stuff like that. Your corner looks good. I am so surprised at all the cast iron you found...I love mine!! And I agree with you...who needs to watch a video of someone cleaning a spotless room?? You present a "real" world most of us live in and we appreciate your honesty. You DO inspire us!! Have a great day!! 😊👍❤

    I am sure appreciating your videos! It has inspired me to keep going with decluttering kitchen cabinets and drawers. I have cleaned and decluttered two cabinets and 7 drawers. I still have 11 cabinets to go, and 4 drawers.The most are the pantry pullout cabinet and the pantry cabinet with shelves and spice pullout. I have to remind myself I am making progress!
    I am so glad you will go through the whole house, as my house is a disaster zone. And I get anxious with trying to figure out where to get started. This way, I watch a video, get inspired, and get to work.
    I sure appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, as well as the courage to put yourself "out there". Best of health and happiness in 2023!

    Don't feel bad for letting stuff go that has either gone bad or stopped serving you! As a seamstress I have been called out in the past for getting rid of a lot of thread as it had deteriorated and gone bad..... what was I supposed to do? Sew clothing and then have the pieces all fall apart just because I didn't want to "waste" the old thread? Nope.
    You did a super great job!!!👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻❤️

    Another small area that looks so much better after being decluttered, Sophia! You could still keep the soda stream there if you really wanted to. Just add a wall shelf that is only big enough to fit the soda stream and doesn't have extra space to attract any other clutter.

    For me, the decluttering process is such a learning experience and sobering process for me. THIS year, I’m concentrating on being more focused on my spending habits. I’m an impulse buyer 😢. I’m training myself to stay off of Amazon and other sale sites 😊😊😊
    I felt your pain over that tea…. I just did the exact same thing when I decluttered my kitchen 😊😢😊😢😊😢
    Good luck on your journey.

    The chairs are back! Congrats! We have bought a new table and new chairs for the kitchen. My hubby tried to persuade me to keep the old and partly broken ones. I refused. No "just in case" pieces. If the old ones had been fine, we would not have bought the new set.

    Don't feel bad about getting rid of the teas. Your peace of mind and declutter process is more important than wasting tea bags. Think of all the things you decluttered throughout your journey. People who write bad comments are not meant for your channel. And you're not wasting them. They're wasting your peace of mind.

    Sophia one idea for cast iron is to hang it on the wall. My Mom has all of hers hanging up so it's easier for her to maintain and care for, it also adds to the decor, if you like that kinda stuff. I like the idea of putting it were it won't get dusty however Mom doesn't have to worry about that as much because hers is used on a daily basis. I really like the way you and scot have fixed up your kitchen over the years. It looks really nice. And thank you for keeping it real, because it shows the rest of us that it's okay to change your idea on how you store things as time changes and if things aren't working. Some times people just need to see a different way to do something for their ideal solution, or a solution that's inspired loosely by the videos they watch.

Good grief! When it arrives at a landfill, it will nourish the ground that decomposes it. You just keep being you and we will keep watching and being inspired.

    From what I remember, your cookbooks were on the shelves underneath the counter. Then you decided to make that counter (and those shelves) your office.

It seems that there is always someone who needs things. So maybe next time don´t put it in a corner, instead let other people have it, who would use it. :)

    Don't worry, I am not thinking anything "bad" about you talking so much. I do it myself! I enjoy listening to you talk and I enjoy all the videos - cooking, decluttering, quilting, etc. I don't know where you get the energy from. But, I enjoy sitting and watching you. I can't get rid of stuff for one reason or another but I get motivated to do things after watching you. And that's a good thing!
