To solve the family photo issue, my daughter gifted me an electronic photo frame that scolls between dozens of pictures. One frame so many pictures.😂😂😂
Give yourself some grace, Leslie. You are dealing with a lot behind the scenes, and that's more important than how cluttered your drawers and closets are. God bless you and Jason.
Oh, I can totally relate to the “not a messy or cluttered house, just don’t open a closet or cupboard “ lol!
😂 one day I’m going to fix this problem of mine… just not today 😜
Enjoy your videos but can't do it this time. Retired and live in 600 sf. Appliances have to go on counters. No space in small cabinets. Fridge holds my calendar. On top baskets hold paper towels and spices. No pantry so food goes where there is space. Pictures somewhat controlled but at 83 have a larger family! Do keep clothes hung up and shoes off floor. Throw pillows down to a minimum. Primary colors are creamy white with touches of dark blue and golden rod. My intentions are good but my space is not. Feel a bit crowded but refuse to stop living for "proper" decor.
You do what works best for your household and what brings you joy! That’s all that matters! There’s no one here judging your home! 😉 Thanks for stopping by today!
You do what you have to do. No rules and you are happy that is all that counts!
Her info. doesn't pertain to 100% of the population! You pick and choose what works for you. She has great ideas. Don't be a Karen.
The older I've gotten, I feel like I declutter more often because I have more things! They're all lovely, but finding storage space to switch things in and out isn't as much fun anymore. I like a more steam lined look, so it's best to take the time to pass things on to someone else.
Great encouragement video!💞🙏
My mama used to call me "Shanty Irish!" She said my home always looks "Magazine Worthy" until you open something LOL!!!
Oh, my, I have different colors throughout my home and I love it! My father once said, open the door and look at all those colors God created and they all go together! But, really, my home is decorated msinly in shades of blues, greens, peach/apricots. My ceilings are more neutral but they are not white. And the ceiling in my maim bathroom is blue! I have noticed that the highend decorators and designers are definitely moving towards lots of color and some are using very saturated color in gloss finishes. So, have fun in your home. If you like neutral, do neutrals but if you enjoy color, go for it! 😊
There's only one thing that is making my home look messy.. the whole thing. The one whole house. Thanks for the inspiration!
OH! guilty of fridge clutter! 😆 Grandkid pics, drawings...
Our grandchildren would ask where their drawings were, and possibly even get upset if my fridge was bare. 😂
I've done a clean up on my fridge. Grandies turn up, ' oh no Gran, you have no pics on your fridge. We will draw some right away'😂
May your whole life be filled with laughter and joy.
My mother has stage 7 dementia and was given one week to live twelve weeks ago. I miss hearing about Jason's journey with this terrible disease. Sharing what you are experiencing as a caregiver helps others to deal with this serious affliction!
Sounds like you are further along on the journey than we are. Feel free to share any advice or experiences to help us all out.
I’m so sorry for you and your mom. I know all the difficulties you are going through. Prayers for you as you enter these final stages. ❤️🙏🏼
So sorry to hear. May she be ready to face her Maker.
Leslie had a separate you tube channel that she had posted about Jason, but if I remember right, she explained that family privacy was important for jason and so she was posting less.
Bless you and your family 💔😢
@@tgeetoo9451 yes! Our other channel youtube.com/@LIVINGWITHDEMENTIAPODCAST?si=fla5ZytPNG-A0aR5 is due for an update. Hopefully, Jason will want to film also, but if not, I might do one alone. In the meantime, he pops in on Instagram with me from time to time, if you want to see him! 💙😊
@@ACharmingAbode The most difficult part of this for me has been not knowing when my mother is "gone." Her body's still there. Her voice is recognizable as my mother, but it's been over a year since she's known that I am her son. At this point, I don't think she even knows who SHE is! When do you say "goodbye?"
@@tgeetoo9451 Thank you for your kind words. They are much appreciated!
What if your husband leaves wrappers and such around. Is there a fix for that?
Lol 😂 when I find the solution I’ll let you know 😉
I loved today's video because I can so relate!!! Visitors always say how neat my home looks and how much they enjoy my curated decor. But honestly, I feel like a hypocrite because my closets are loaded with my seasonal decor and drawers are filled with decorative blankets of seasonal colors. It's nice to have many things that can go from room to room but storing so much is overwhelming!! Thanks for the suggestions and ideas!!
Another awesome video and topic, Leslie! Always love your sparkle and great attitude. 💗
Me too, I'm throwing out everything and having a huge garage sale in June. I donate to shelters and the needy but sell the rest ...xo
Your hair is gorgeous today! Beautiful all the time but today there’s a little extra something. 😁
I agree😊
I have 21 grandkids. I did 4 long picture ledges on one wall in my bedroom. It's kind of driving me crazy but it is what it is. I also have a "walk of fame" hallway with our 7 kids graduation and wedding pictures.
Great advice. I want to live in a tiny house and down sizing isn’t a problem for me. I have traveled and moved a lot in my life and I’m sure that has affected my habits. Thanks!
Please, don't open the door to the office! I get you, sister. I simply love you and your lovely home. Big hugs from Texas!
Good tips. Praying Jason is doing well.
Excellent Leslie! I can not live with clutter, however I do break a few rules with 18 grandchildren and only three of them close I have a wall of grandchildren in my dinning room so they are closer 🥰 and there’s always a few pieces of art on my fridge as it makes them so proud when Grammy hangs there art on her fridge , sometimes home needs to feel like home and not just a show piece , yours looks homey and lovely. I love the way you laugh it makes you so relatable.
You're inspiring me to do some simple decluttering. Now, for my painfully crippled body to cooperate.
I love your new look with a few wispy bangs!!!❤
Great tips! Thanks!🙏🏻
Great inspiration!!!
Great video!
Great tips and reminders!
Great video! Thank you
Good one!
Great tips
Great tips, guilty of a few! Hope you and Jason are doing well. ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for posting this video. Good reminder!
Loved today's video. Thank you Leslie!
Thank you Leslie for all the great tips
Excellent tips Leslie ❤
Great video! Love the 3 pics of you and Jason!
Geez did I need this video 😊thank you. ❤
Great points and eye opener. Thank you Leslie. Especially those throw pillows lol.
Definitely going to check out the 'Rocket Money' especially given my cognitive challenges increasing!! Ohhh the bookcases, I see that throughout my bedrooms. With two adult children living in Europe I have been "storing" their lives here FOREVER!! Their bedroom bookcases remain a nightmare! I appreciate the suggestions, I put some throw pillows away after watching. Love the look! Getting some the kiddos stuff off the refrigerator made such a difference too. Thanks so much!!! Maureeen
Great video.
Thank you Leslie for the cleaning tips ❤
I’m guilty of several! Glad to know I’m not the only one. Have a great week ahead. Thanks Leslie
Great tips. I will use some of your declutter techniques!
You have a beautiful home!
clear kitchen counters is the best!
Great tips, adorable doggies. You are an inspiration in many ways
You are adorable and so joyful, I love watching your videos! Everyone should follow the tips you gave here!
I always look forward to your videos ❤
Great video Leslie, I am quilts of quite a few! 😊❤😊
Love to watch your video
Oh my gosh , love the advice on pillows.My bedroom and living room 😅 soooo many ! Thank you Leslie!
Thank you Leslie! I have a lot of family photos and love it😂❤ Your ideas are excellent!
Thank you for the great tips! You look beautiful today!!
Love the inserted photos 😂especially the sectional with all of the throw pillows!!!
I’m guilty of several . Paper pile up is the worse. I have a file cabinet but getting motivated to file is another thing. Love that Mister came to visit. And of course Evee was on the bed 😊 . Thanks for the tips ❤
thank you so much, realy guilty of too many throw pillows!
Another great video.. You will be happy to know I have already cleared my counter tops since I watched the video. Hugs and prayers to you and Jason.
I needed to hear this today. Thank you!
You are so welcome! 😊 Happy to help!
Great ideas Leslie, my home is under 800 sq ft so I have to be extra careful or it gets junked up fast.
I have a GIANT living room / office space (about 400 square feet) in my apartment. I bought modestly sized things because I thought i'd surely move someday... and now i've been here like 17 years (ha!) and there is so much unused space.
Love your joy and sweet laughter!
🤗 thank you!
I am with you sweet girl? I love my phots as I tuck them a bit here and there. I like things very organized thats a ocd thing always trying to keep things neat and tidy. 😜Have blessed Week.
Great veido
I live alone and super organized
Your kitchen is beautiful
Such great tips, sweet friend! ❤❤❤
Hi Liz! ❤️ Thank you! Hope you are doing well 😊
Great content and I am sure we all have some of those same things going on.......lol Busy lives, busy people, kids, grandkids and great grandkids and yes..........life is busy and things get put on hold! Thanks for the inspiration Leslie!
Blessings
You are absolutely right! I’ve noticed all of these things myself . You hit the nail on the head. And if someone don’t mind having that “lived in” look, or “messy look” that’s totally fine but these are great tips for people that want to clear their home and make it look clean. So I approve this video 💯 great job!
As always, some great tips. I am not a fan of clutter and since my husband is a Virgo, he isn't either so fortunately our house is pretty clutter free. Neither of us like to leave the dishes to dry so I wash and he dries. Having said that, we do have a daughter that is the opposite and for a long while I questioned whether they gave me the right baby at the hospital. Now she is married and has her own home so what she does there doesn't affect me except when I visit but I have learned to grin and bear it.
What is the channel with updates on caregiving and dementia? Have you posted there recently? I don’t seem to get notifications for some reason. And I am very interested and hopeful you are both hanging in - ☮️❤️
Have you posted links to the furniture in your home. Absolutely love your style 😊. Really enjoy your videos. TFS!!
I have some messy closets and a room downstairs that I need to clean out cause to cluttered. Thanks for the tips
Love your hair. Love you and Jason and the whole family. Hope you are all doing ok ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏.
Never have too many throw pillows !😂😂 as a quilter I enjoy decorating with my quilts and matching shams (instead of a ton of pillows I will switch out with a sham) and change out everything seasonally so I do keep my home neutral for that purpose Thanks for sharing I do agree with all your tips!
Very inspirational with good tips that we can pick and choose! You are such a lovely person, I started following you in order to help a friend whose husband was exhibiting some of the same symptoms as sweet Jason. I was able to feed her some helpful info so thank you. Very guilty of over magazining haha😂❤❤
Great video. I agree that clutter is not calming. Every issue you mentioned makes sense. I hate when people overdecorate with too much stuff. A little makes a better statement IMO. Thanks so much.
I agree with you 100% about the throw pillows! At one time I had so many on my couch that a person couldn't sit down unless they moved them to the floor😂 I got rid of most of them and it definitely looks neater, but I still love a good throw pillow 🙃 Enjoy your week, Leslie. Thanks for all the tips ❤
I used to be great with decluttering, but the decision making is getting harder as I age. Was good to see this video, thnx ❤
Agree with all your declutter ideas, it really does make a difference. I used to have the Rocket Money app but every time they saved me money on one of my bills or canceled a subscription they charged me quite a bit to do so and it really didn’t save me much in the end😥
My daughterSaid I'm the reason she can't stand shoes by the door I would complain about it and now she does too!
I have gotten pretty good at decluttering except the craft room so I just close the door…
What a small place I have to work with and I'm not very ambitious at this stage of life. Also, i just don't know how to arrange this sometimes. I think your ideas are wonderful though and it encourages me to want to do what I can. I think I can implement some of them into my home. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for reply. Did not mean to sound so negative but that's my life. I like to call it Bohemian! Lol. Do enjoy your videos and shopping comparions and decorating tips.
Another great video, agree with you! I like to clean and try to stay on top of stuff (still get behind at times and that's ok) . My hubby's office..well, that door is usually closed. 😅 He can function that way, not me lol Thanks for your channel and tips. It's the best!!! Love your hair too. 🙏✝️
Long life means lots of memorabilia. I’m learning to rotate things and keep the not displayed things in a tote in a closet. When your videos inspire me to spruce up things, I go to the tote (s) and pick a home decor change up. Now I know that I need another tote for extra throw pillows !!! I can display ALL my stuff. Just not all in the same day……..
Nice tips! I need to get a front end loader in here first! 😂 Love and prayers!!! 🥰
😂 lol thanks! I hear front end loaders work pretty great to get the mess removed!
I’ll check it out!!! ❤️
In regards to the magazines. Call a nursing home or local hospital. They may want your magazines for their residents to look at. BTW love your videos!
I enjoyed your video, Leslie. I began watching because of you and Jason. You are such a lovely couple and you remind me of my situation. I’m about the same level as Jason or more.
You are an amazing wife, friend, caregiver to Jason. I don’t blame you at all for shutting off comments on your other channel. People can be so rude.
I will continue to support A Charming Abode. Take care 🥰
Mine is definitely the shoes and the piles of papers. I homeschool so things pile up. And we are a family of 6 so we have shoes galore.
I keep a fairly neat home, but was surprised how many items you listed that I could use work on. The comment about a neat home, but your closets are a mess is my home exactly. I warn friends that they could get hurt with falling items if they open a closet door!!😊
🌼
I’m terrible about washing all the laundry the hate to put it away! 😂
You will laugh at me but I just rewatched this and took notes! Now just have to work through it
I actually think that’s fantastic!!! ❤️
Really enjoyed your video today. I too prefer a clean, cozy, organized and charming home. 😮 But....as an artist when I go into a painting mode my whole house seems to morph into my art studio ( which is the den) and that drives me insane. So it's all or nothing it seems and I just have to be kind to myself and let the house be when creating. It's been a process and finding ways to get rid of things that take up space is a lifesaver. Having baskets to help organize anything definitely cuts down on stress. Sometimes I think I'll give up painting and enjoy a perfect house (and i have before) but then .....the urge to get colorful and create and dance around sets in and I have to live that life or buy a bigger house. Ha ha. You have some really great ideas and I loved the tv cord strip to hide the cord. I liked the paint color you listed for your walls. That is very soothing along with a neutral pallete. Loved a prior video when you redid your kitchen and could build the type drawers that fit your appliances that's really the magic key. We all have things on our refrigerators but the times they are empty feels like a big breath of fresh air. Wisdom tells us to be kind and compassionate with ourselves, and live life with humor. You do that well. . Thank you Leslie.😊 Sending you a big hug & love. And sending prayers and love for Jason.. ❤❤
Yikes! Clutter is my nemesis!
Reason #16 that your home might look messy...a very messy husband. lol Thanks for the ideas, Leslie.
Amen to this! LOL So true!!! 😂
We live in a senior apt with no pantry & almost no counter space. One drawer. Kind of a galley-type kitchen, I guess. I could care less about DECOR.
Some good ideas. My house looks very nice until you see the drawers and closets, too. It's definitely a constant battle. 😂
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a neat house but messy cupboards 😂😂😂.
Declutter, one item a day. Over a year that’s a lot gone.
I know this is not one of your livi
ng with dementia videos, but I've asked the alzheimer's society etc and they have not come across my situation. My husband was diagnosed with dementia and he complains of sharp pains in the frontal portion of his head, he states it feels numb afterwards and he is tired and needs to lie down. He had a brain injury as well 5 years ago and one before approximately 20 years ago. My question is, did Jason have similar complaints 🤔 I'm not sure how to help him and have done research and can not seem to find anything 😕 any help would be appreciated
you forgot one, over abundance of dog beds! like, maybe 11-12!! LOL. love hurts ❤
Awww your dogs must love all their dog beds 🥰 Dogs are definitely worth it.
