My daughter and I finally finished going through my ‘junk’ room - actually where I was collecting both ‘to donate’ and ‘time will tell’ things - and made a trip to the donation center this morning. We packed the back of her SUV (seats down) and the trunk and backseat of my car with all the thjngs. I ended up keeping none of the ‘time will tell’ items. I got an entire room back. So happy.

When Diana spotted Dawn in her drawing and Dawn said “Well I would hope so, I’m kind of a pivotal character in your life.” 😂 I love seeing you girls together! ❤

Love how your parents allow you to show these rooms. It helps process our OWN rooms like this (or the garage🤦🏻‍♀️). Thanks to all of you!!

Your parents are so blessed with having produced not only 1 but 2 identically beautiful, kind hearted, smart women.

Dawn - I've never had one of the first comments! Just want to tell you what a difference you've made in my home and life - thank you dearly! And best to your sweet sister. Love your videos together!

As I watched this video, I slowly realized that thanks to your guidance, I have learned many new helpful strategies to deal with decluttering. If I had been faced with that room before I found your YouTube channel, I would have been overwhelmed, and abandoned the mess. But, because of your teachings, I knew immediately how I would have tackled the room. I have used the tools and skills that you have taught me, and I find decluttering and organizing are so simple now. The difference between how I view and handle these tasks today compared to before are like night and day. That's in large part due to you. Thanks for all that you do for us. It truly is making a huge difference!

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but seeing you talk about storing the medical supplies in case you need them I'm going to suggest seeing if your local council on aging has a lending library of things like that. When my mom died we donated walkers, commodes, canes, and more and it was so happily accepted and I know that if we, or anyone else in the community needs it, it will all get used. Probably a much better way to "store" it, where it will be used a lot. So even if you have to re-buy something later, you know that what you had went to good use.

FYI-Quilters store quilts in pillow cases so they can breathe. My aunt was a blue ribbon Master quilter.

"This is one giant 'time will tell' bin!" - what a great perspective for us to take when decluttering storage spaces

As a grandmother I love what you are doing for your parents and all the grandchildren 🥰

I'm happy for your mother that's she's getting her spaces back. IMO when grown children have houses of their own, parents no longer should be expected to store their stuff. Use it or shed it. The room looks lovely.

"We all like to be heroes when we're donating!" That's the perfect way to explain the dilemma of deciding between donating and selling.

This was so encouraging and motivating. Love how you turned an unused space into a blessing for your kids and parents. Life is about relationships not stuff!

LOL.......why aren't each of you taking your own quilt to your own home ? You're saying you needed to find somewhere to store them. LOL take it home.. My kids are in their late 40's. A few years ago I told them to come get their stuff or it was gone !

My absolute favorite video that you have ever done(and i love all of them😂) I am Nana now, and i want to have simple curated spaces that my grandchildren can enjoy. And can i just say that your boys are such great helpers!!! I am going to watch this one several times as I work on my unused bedrooms!!! Thanks Dawn, you are awesome!

THE Best Video of "Anti-Hoarding" I loved seeing the boys doing what you've been Teaching all your viewers! They are quite the Effecient Helpers! How fun for them to be able to visit Grandma & know that she allowed them to have a Safe, Clean, Uncluttered & Unique Space all their own at Her House!!

"crapalanche" Yes, a new word for my vocabulary list 😂

This was a HUGE transformation! Less really is more.

So true!! Here in Florida and really need to evaluate what is necessary and important. We have been through 3 hurricanes and the aftermath of devastation is an eye opener in what is really important!
