2020 KITCHEN CLEAN DECLUTTER & ORGANIZE WITH ME | PART 1 :: KONMARI & DECLUTTERING TRANSFORMATION

Hey guys welcome back to my channel today we're tackling the

kitchen

so as you can see it's a little messy right now it's not really messy it's pretty messy and this is actually all I got out of my pantry. The boys will see it on Thursday. I actually filmed that video first because I knew I needed to order some pantry labels so I wouldn't have to do it first. These things are things that I'm donating or that I like to give to friends or things like that. So I need to quickly do a very quick pick up in the

kitchen

and just make sure we start from scratch and then we're going to tackle all the cabinets, all the drawers, all the things that we're going to do.

declutter

ing and I'm trying to be very ruthless with it and just get rid of anything and be very honest and real with myself like: do you actually use this?

Do you really need this? Could you do without it? I want to be very intentional. With everything I keep in my house and we are starting our kitchen, this is the first day of our

declutter

ing series on this channel and I am so excited to take you with me on this journey, I just can't wait. so without further ado let's get into that, like I said I just wanted to get everything off my counters and clear this space and that way I would have an area to take everything out of my cabinets and have a space to go through everything in order.

This and all the articles you're seeing from here are everything I pulled out of my pantry, like I said the video will be posted on Thursday so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss that. The video turned out so amazing that I can't wait to share it with you, it's super, super satisfying and I'll share a lot of tips in that video too. I just wanted to, like I mentioned, this is the first video of my new video. series where I go through my entire house and declutter each room, one room at a time or one space at a time, this has been something that has been on my mind and that I have wanted to do for so long and I am so excited to do it.

I'll be making this and taking you with me, so of course you'll see my finished kitchen today and you'll also see my pantry below, but let me know in the comments what space you'd like me to declutter and

organize

next. I feel for you, you made it easy for them, nothing you could do would make me leave you baby, I feel for you, you made it easy for me, nothing you, baby, will make me lose my mind, baby, do you want to stay the night? . it goes fast I don't care I've known you for quite a while, okay, so everything is

clean

, it's not a deep

clean

or anything, just so I have a clean workspace.

I shouldn't put clean things in the cabinets on top of the dirty ones. accountants, so I'm done with everything. Now I'm going to go through one by one and everything that I no longer want or that I no longer use will be on the table. You can already see that I have some things, so I hope to fill that table and have some slightly better cabinets. I know it's a bit of a strange goal, but I just don't need everything we have right now. It's easy to seem easy to accumulate, so I'm actually very ready. for this so she's ready okay we're going well so we're finally starting to declutter now that I've cleaned everything up and I have a nice empty space to work with so the way I normally do

decluttering

at least In a large area like a kitchen where there are a lot of things, a lot of drawers and a lot of cabinets, I will only tackle one space at a time, so for example, I am not going to go all out with my method, where I will take everything out of every cabinet and every drawer.

I feel like that's incredibly overwhelming and I know that's the point, but for me that really overwhelms me too much and will make me not want to finish the project or put everything back together without going through it completely and just not do my best work with it, so That the way I like to approach this project is to do one cabinet at a time. I'll take every single thing out of that white cabinet. below and then it will go through each item individually and sort them into three different sections, one is donate or get rid of two are items that I keep but don't belong in this space and three are items that go back to the original cabinet and then I

organize

them that way, like this This is something that was a little difficult for me over the last year, so I started getting into radon handcuffs.

I know many of you know what they are and they are super addictive once you start. buying them, I feel like I've done pretty well when I know how many other people have gotten, but I've definitely gotten a lot more than we need, so this was something I really wanted to go through and make sure I was only keeping the ones I really wanted. I loved it because too much of a good thing can definitely be a bad thing, it ends up taking up space in your home and you really have to ask yourself that question while

decluttering

, is it worth the space it takes up? in my house and is it worth the space it takes up in my mind because things not only take up physical space in your house but they also take up space in your mind when you have to constantly pass them by to get over the things you really need when you have than cleaning those items, when you have to organize them or just see them daily and it's not something you're actually using, you're taking up space and you need to make sure that the benefit of that item is worth the space that the crowd is taking away from your face.

I never thought that i would see tonight with my eyes closed you smile every memory comes to life your lips pressed against mine after another since kayo is home on this day i simply asked him to clean the top shelf since he was a little taller than me and It was much easier for him to get to the back and then once he did, I asked him to do the same thing he had just done. done on the other cabinets and adjust the shelf to fit our needs a little better. This is something you can do in his own home very easily, whether you own his own home or are renting.

This is something that is not permanent and Definitely something you can do that will benefit you a lot, honestly, before moving these shelves, I knew this was something that would help us, but I didn't realize how much benefit it would be, so I I urge you to do it next time. go through your kitchen to look at that and see if those shelves really serve you the best or if just moving them up or down a few notches would make a big difference for you so we talked in the last forum forget what you never hear with your hand Miney every feeling goes against mine the best thing will be that your place is not easy next I just wanted to share some advice.

I've shared this several times in the past in my bathroom in my kitchen under my sink just in different areas of my house, but you guys know I love command strips, at least if you've seen some of my videos. I'm sure you've seen me use them, but these are just the little command hooks and I love using them inside cabinets. You can use them to clean towels and hang them to dry, as you are seeing here. You can use them for your oven medicines or for your potholders and it's a great way to use up that vertical storage, especially if you're short. in storage or you just want to be a little more creative with it, so for us this makes it a lot more accessible than having to dig through our cabinets every time I open the cabinet door.

I just know that the kitchen gloves are going to be right there waiting for me and it's very easy to get to them, so I know a lot of us have junk drawers, but I have a junk cabinet that's not what it started with because it started out as a shelf for my cookbooks and a shelf for various

part

ies or hot drinks and then I also had some smoothies here and vitamins here and then I started storing our candles here and then we started storing anything that didn't really have a home here and the The list goes on and on and now I have a lot of stuff here that I don't even use very often and the stuff that I do use I can't access as easily because it's so messy and disorganized and so I really wanted to pay a lot of attention to this and be very picky about what that I am saving and the items I am saving.

I want to make sure they are well organized so I can get to everything easily because Unfortunately, while I was going through this, I discovered that there were several things in this cabinet that were expired and that I had to end up throwing away. Honestly, just reorganizing your spaces can save you a lot of money because it will help you realize what you have so you don't have to keep shopping, so all of these white organizing bins came from Target. I'll see if I can link them below, but they were pretty affordable and I was also able to rack up a coupon with them, so I ended up getting them at an even better deal.

Organization items like this that are really durable and that are really simple are awesome to get your hands on. because you can use them in this space and then once they are no longer useful in this space, you can go ahead and take them. somewhere else in your house and reuse them, which is why I love having simple organization bins like that just because they will always work somewhere in your house, so here I am using the same method, taking every single thing out of this drawer and then cleaning. I take the drawer down and then I only keep things in there that I really want and anything that I don't use or anything that I don't think is worth keeping, I'll end up putting it on the counter and then once I'm done. with everything I'm going to move it to my table, which is where I keep all the items that I'm going to donate or get rid of, so let me tell you if you're having a hard time decluttering your house because you're feeling overwhelmed. and especially as you watch these videos and it seems so easy, so fast and so peaceful, it's not like that for anyone, honestly, it's something that takes a lot of dedication, it can definitely be overwhelming at times, so don't do it.

I feel like you are the only one struggling in this process. Anyone I talk to when they're ordering says, "Oh my God, this was a lot of work, but it was worth it in the end and that's what I would say to you too." It's going to be a lot of work, it's going to take a lot of time, and it may also be something you feel like you want to give up along the way, but keep at it and you'll feel great once you've made some progress. The momentum goes just like I mentioned in my domino tasks, once you get that momentum it will feel easier and easier as you go and it will be a little easier to stick with it so I urge you to get started.

If this is something you want to do to declutter your home space, you don't have to start with a large space like the kitchen, you can start with a cabinet and then call it a day or you can start with a drawer and call it a day, but you I guarantee that even those small spaces will make a big difference for you and every time you open them you feel the peace of having everything you need and nothing more and you see those spaces that are very well organized, it will make you feel very good and make you want to continue, so my biggest advice for this is to start.

I will always remember it, but you changed everything. I will always remember how you took me off the battlefield. Sometimes organization is something you'll have to work on a little while doing it, like in this example. I had a good idea of ​​what I wanted it to look like and in the end it didn't work out exactly how I wanted it to. Then you'll see me move things around a little more and organize them a little differently and then rearrange them again and then try it another way until I get it right, so don't get discouraged when you don't.

You don't get it the way you want on the first try, it really works that way and you have to try this and that until things go the way you want, but I guarantee that if you do a little trial and error and just stick with it you will end up finding the right one. perfect solution that works so well for you. I can help you, I miss him, you know, I can say I like him, but I can fight something. The sun sets on B, even if it is freezing. I'm trying to let it go.

It's not easy, you know something, son, I can help with that. Oh, Miss Yuna, so this drawer was one of the spaces that was always driving me crazy. I felt like it was very messy and honestly, while I got rid of a lot of things here, I still feel like I have too much, but I'm having a hard time getting rid of much more than I already got rid of because I cook a lot and I feel like I use this one all the time. Oh, I use this all. time, so if you have any tips for me on how to declutter even more than this, especially when you feel like you're using a lot of utensils, let me know in the comments because I feel like I could use a little help in this area next, no We have one but two trash drawers.

I really don't know why we have two junk drawers. I mean, we have a lot of things here that we use a lot, but it's definitely just another catch-all in our kitchen, so I'm trying to organize this once again in a better way. This is something again that is a lot of trial and error. I've organized these drawers a few different ways and for a while they work and then they won't work and So I'm trying something new and we'll see how it goes, but one thing I've discovered in helping with junk drawers is if you find that a certain type of item always runs out.in those drawers, go ahead and embrace it instead of fighting it and just make roomfor items so for example we always have tools that end up in our drunk drawers because Kyle always likes to fix something and then he just leaves his tool on the counter and I don't know where it goes in the garage so I just I'll put it in the drawer and instead of not having room for that, I just created a designated space where I put all of his extra tools. and then he knows where they are and he can come back and pick them up and put them in the garage when he has a minute and if he doesn't get to work then it's no big deal because he's sitting there. in your own tool space at our juncture, you came anyway, but now your God, I wish you could adjust my way of making you not make me win, so I would like to challenge you today to declutter some space in your house, already Whether it's a nightstand drawer or your junk drawer or if you want to go all out and declutter an entire room or an entire space, do it.

I don't care what you do, but I'd love to see your decluttering projects if you were on Instagram. or if you're not on Instagram, come back to this video once you're done and tell me what you did. I'll leave a pinned comment and that way you can go ahead and just comment on it and I'd love for you to do that. We would all just encourage each other on our projects because I know I say this all the time, but we really are all in this together and even if you feel overwhelmed, know that you are not alone and that you have this. everything to keep my kitchen tidy and organized.
