Dani is my favourite declutter….. LOVING getting to see her reclaim her space 🥰
I love this series. I wonder if she’ll get rid of enough to put all her clothes in the wardrobes and get rid of the hanging rail in her bedroom? Would look so much clearer!
Was just thinking this! A walk-in wardrobe room would be so beneficial!
I have no words😂
Dani is my favorite journey so far!! Not only because it's satisfying to watch, but also because she's so sweet!
💛 More to come from Dani's home next Sunday!
I love hearing the "Woo hoos" from the other room
The way I IMMEDIATELY clicked when I saw this video come up in my feed. Ready to see more ruthless decluttering courtesy of Dani and you.
Me too! I was waiting for this video😊
Same!!
Me, too!
Cute doggy helper!!!
I love the inspiration!
The “unhelpful helpers” sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon from the 80s, where a dog and two cats try and solve neighbourhood crimes and always mess it up, but somehow it’s all ok in the end.
Dani, I am in awe of your strength of mind when decluttering. You do so well each day. And your cleaning lady is probably going to pass out with happiness when she sees the new layout!!! 🏅 🏅 🏅
Maybe she could turn the "doom" room into her closet room. So she has more room in her bedroom.
Exactly
This is what I thought!!!
I hope she eventually declutters enough that her clothes all fit in one closet
I love watching people like Dani declutter: a lot of things go and they go quick! There's almost no hesitation, she knows what she wants and doesn't want and it's just *chefs kiss*
I definitely agree with the selling versus donate. It takes so much time to photograph it then post it then mail it. I rather just donate it.
💛
Dani, I feel your pain. I grew up in a 2600 sq ft home, where my mother occupied 6 closets. For a number of years, my parents lived in two cities. So, my parents also accumulated an extra apartment of furniture. My sister and I have spent years and years decluttering a lifetime of clutter. When my father was ill and before and after he passed, the clutter grew and grew. As my sister and I lived in different cities from my mom, we did not see how bad it became for years. When my father passed, we took car loads to Goodwill. Eventually, they said they couldn't take any more. A couple of years later, the state took over our family home, imminent domain due to a highway expansion and it was one of the best things that could have happened. We had to move her. She ended up moving way too much but we were determined to find her new home before the move, so she could see it wouldn't all fit. She still filled the new home and a two car garage with furniture and boxes. For many years thereafter, we went through painful years of decluttering. She lived in that house for 14 years. Two years ago we moved her again to be closer to us, and she is now in a much smaller apartment than the two previous apartments. Again we went through painful decluttering for months before we could put her house on the market and only moved what would fit. She still has emotional attachment to everything and can't let things go, but, we have gotten her belongings to a reasonable place. This is helpful as her health and care is the focus. I am sure that both my sister and I inherited many of her excess tendencies. We both have too much. My sister has a house and a full garage. I have moved from a 1900+ house and several large apartments to a 1000 sq ft apartment and now less than 600 sq ft apartment. With each move, I sold, gave away, and donated furniture, household items and clothing. I have much more to let go of but I am getting closer to my goal, and the more I do, the better my home and my well being feels. Stay committed to your goals. The process never ends. When you get organized, you need a system to review your categories each year so you don't make your way back. Turning hangers around and doing seasonal switches reviewing what you did and did not wear and asking yourself questions why can help. Also, be realistic about what you actually have time to sell. Limit yourself to higher value items and if they don't sell in a season, add them to the give or donate. Best of luck!
That’s very brave. I admire your tenacity and strength amidst parents saying ‘No keep it!’ and the tendencies you learned from them. My bf has emotional attachment to things and has 6.5 cars in his very small garden.
Excellent comment. Sadly, at 10 am today someone broke into my detached garage. I had spent over 3 years downsizing and decluttering. Thieves only got a 8x12x 6" tote of my favorite books, a microwave, my flute...Because of my decluttering I had an empty bedroom to move all of my totes .. that they didn't take ! I had organized everything into twenty two..8x11x18" clear totes. It is a drag that I now have those +2 window air conditioners..10 aluminum ladder .. in my bedroom!
Edit: I can imagine WHY they took a tote of my only baby pictures and my decreased husband 😢 leaving things that they could sold at a pawn shop for $
I love how April keeps the focus fixed on the daily objective, in this case: clothes. It’s so easy to bunny trail into dealing the the contents of the purses or dealing with a non-clothing item. That’s a great reminder to help with avoiding becoming overwhelmed. That happens to me when I’m housecleaning; I begin one task, get distracted by something else and things blow up. I work until I’m overtired, only to discover that my original objective wasn’t achieved. Seeing this helps to remind me to STAY ON TASK! 🤦🏼♀️
💛💛💛💛💛
I did this today, I went to clean my bathroom but got distracted and tidied a shelf in the linen closet. It didn't take long and was related to the task, but still a side task
"...Dinosaur costume?" 😂 this is the best series, love Dani so much
Everything you say "you can do this alone now", I have a mini heart attack 😂!! You are so valuable just for motivation alone. I do so much better with big projects if my sister or friend is with me (supervising), it motivates me!
💛
I love these videos❤️ a little tip for everyone that also loves the thought of selling clothes: I give myself a max of 3 months to get it done. I put it down in my calendar 3 months from now if it’s still here I donate.
Love that!
I cannot get over this dog. SO CUTE!
Ricky is the sweetest 💛
I'm loving how the dog and cat match😊
I’m so impressed with the speed and progress Dani made 😍 I can see her making a boutique style wardrobe, once she’s figured out the excess. This is a great series!
i could not do this on camera. so brave
😂😂
I am such a fan of Dani!! She does so great, such an inspiration
No shame, but I am really impressed at how much she had stored in her apartment! Its going to be really lovely once she's finished her declutter. Go Dani!! You're inspiring me to declutter my excess too!
14:35, questioning my past self and having full "talks" with myself over my clutter. ... MOST RELATABLE MOMENT. I just love this chick so much- I hope these two know just how much guidance and motivation they are providing in this series! TY both SO much.
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Dani is one of my favourite declutterers! Great progress being made 👏
💛
You and Dani are doing a great job. The neverending clothes declutter, it's epic! I'm glad she hasn't given up. So much yet to do. Keep up the good work. Take care, Linda 🦋
That closet is definite proof that hangers breed and multiply in dark spaces😂
I am impressed by this declutter, but also by the way she had it all in boxes and bags. It wasn't just all piled in a heap, which made it easier to maneuver around.
Really is organized chaos
I am absolutely LOVING those series! I could watch it as a marathon! I have to add that Dani has beautiful plants in her apartment. 😊
Many more to come throughout the year!
Yes, her plant wall is gorgeous!
Wow that’s some fantastic fast decision making by Dani 🙇♀️👏 With 2 empty wardrobes she’s going to have plenty of space for her clothes. I laughed when the cat went exploring in the wardrobe 😂 Oh the bags of bags are always fun. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👏👍💪🙏💐🦮🐈
I don't think she realizes how much time and trouble selling those clothes (hanging the clothes to take pics, writing description (maker, size, fabric, condition etc., posting them online, answering emails re questions from potential buyers, making mailing labels, boxing, weighing, etc.} You won't have time for much else. lol
That's true she could also do a garage sale or go to a consignment shop where you leave your clothes for them to pick what they want to buy off you. But as someone who has sold on Depop I agree selling online would take a lot of time/energy.
Dani has the best personality and attitude. I have some doom piles in my home. This is very motivating. Thanks to the both of you for sharing!
She actually has a super cute apartment!!!!
Dani has such a great energy, she is great on camera and her decluttering is so focused I love it!
When you found the wardrobe filled with boxes and bags, my heart sank. At that moment, I would have thrown in the towel, drawn the curtains, crawled into bed and cried myself to sleep. So impressed that Dani kept going. What a trooper!
I have such an minimalist place and I declutter regularly but when i see these episodes i just want to get up and do a massive declutter 😂😂 but I have not many things i can declutter, I need to start hoarding 😅
If I have nothing to declutter, I just start cleaning. 😂 yes, the show is good inspiration to let things go.
@@alamedadanceparty that’s why I don’t have alot of things because I hate cleaning, so I only have few things of everything therefore everything looks tidy.
I have only two dishes that I make sure always wash and I always use one cup so I don’t keep making more cups dirty, so less washing🤣🤣🤣 I have less clothes so I don’t have big pile of laundry to do, and my make-up is also very minimalistic because I hate to have a cluttered vanity😅😅
This episode just inspired me too. And there are some long-held decorative items I just realized I’m OK to let go of. And checked the eBay price so I know they’re not worth my effort to list and sell.
I think it might be important to note that it's SO difficult to find new and used clothes for larger bodies in many Asian countries. Plus sized clothes? Forget it. They barely exist in stores in Korea. The largest size in most women's clothing in Korea is equivalent to a women's 8/10 here. This is probably why she and her girlfriends had those clothing exchange groups, and why Dani has so many clothes. It is very difficult to find clothing there even for an average size woman.
Bingo! You hit the nail on the head!
When I was younger I had a lot of everything. Nowadays a few black dresses and wrap dresses that don't need ironing is good. Same for shoes. Good, confy ones, a few beautiful good bags and I'm good to go. Makes life far more simple and easier. I still keep a lot more books than I want cause I still work as a professor. Next reincarnation I wanna work with technology and I don't want to touch a single sheet of paper. 😂
I LOVE that white floral purse at 23:21
😍
I just found this page. And this series has been amazing. Dani, you are truly an inspiration. Your declutter muscles are so strong. I can't wait to keep watching this series.
Welcome to the channel! I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying this series. There are many more to come this year, too!
I really like your low stress methods - I stress hard at times and then I freeze
Dani is doing SO GREAT. I can see that she will be really happy with her space after this.
Wish there was more results in the video rather then being so space out,but that’s probably because I’m greedy or impatient 😅 the suspense is too much😂😂.
Absolutely loving this series. You are doing an amazing job Dani 👏 👏👏
I LOVE these videos! Would be even better if they were longer!
Dani has such a nice and bubbly personality, she feels like someone who you would love to be friends with ❤
And she's an Oregonian 💛
The way you said “dinosaur costume” cracked me up!
I've never seen someone with clutter so easily let everything go! Dani is a beast!
Love love LOVE this series ❤
Dani, I was amazed when you called your bags ‘she’. The attachment must be so strong. Great declutter. Best wishes from Devon UK
This series is AMAZING! Dani is doing the best job, and you can see how much potential the space has! Go April! ❤
💛💛💛
She is doing such a great job!! Also so nice to see the great dynamic between the two of you. How lovely that she is getting her house (and probably more energy) back the more she tackels and lets go off. Amazing 💗
This is hands-down one of the best series EVER! OMG I just want to see the next installment hahaha! I can't wait to see the apartment once it's all clear and organized, I can tell even from behind the boxes that it has such neat architectural features.
Thank you so much. I love that you LOVE it! The next installment will be up this Sunday 💛
You both did great!!! An alternative to selling yourself is to send off to a consignment. You'll get a small portion. You need to apply a cost to your time in selling, and it may not be worth it on your end. The Real Real is a great high-end consignment. Thred up for good basics.
Does anyone know if there’s a British version of this? Our options for selling (most popular) are Vinted or FB Marketplace, or donate to a charity shop. I would love to even get a little bit of money for low effort.
Hehe I find it so much fun to see you being supervised by a dog😂
I appreciate Dani and her effort.
I immediately went and decluttered my kitchen. Great incentive thank you ❤
😮 That floral print purse is gorgeous!
An easier way to sell may be to send stuff into thread up or taking it to a store like Plato’s Closet or Crossroads. Where you don’t have to photograph or manage anything. Let someone else sort and price everything. You won’t make as much but it will save you a lot of sanity! Great work ladies!
Unfortunately those options aren't available where she lives.
ugh dani is just such a delight❤❤❤❤❤❤ good job ladies 🎉
She did an amazing job decluttering with you. You helped her so much.❤
It looks to be a spacious apartment. Enough rooms to make one a dressing room. If all the clothes, shoes, bags, etc were all in one room, she'd be able to manage it better
Dani seems to be so energised and happy doing this. It's like she is becoming more and more herself. So lovely to see. Very beautiful :)
I need to watch this video when I wake up on my days off not before I am heading to work. I’m very inspired to start decluttering too.
At first, I was trying to figure out why Alanis Morissette was helping with decluttering. :) The odd sock "dreamcatcher" comment cracked me up. Dani's so realistic and decisive!
This is a great project. And i hope she maintains by following someone like the Minimal Mom who talks about systems to maintain. Even if you don't want to go minimal, the principals are excellent.
Dani is in the zone and decluttering like a pro now! That looks like a very difficult space so bringing it out to the living room to work on was a good plan. Focusing on just the clothing category was also a good idea to avoid the overwhelm shutdown.
When I declutterred I had best intentions to sell….but the piles of sell clothes just stayed in my house for weeks!! In the end I donated most of it because the money I might have made was not worth the stress that the clutter caused!! I’m surprised how many clothes Dani kept - I reckon in a couple of months half those clothes will have gone as she realises she needs less!! Having less clothes and clutter is such a relief….its caused me so much stress and I feel happier, tidier and cleaner with less in my house.
Dani… take one of the cameras and show us your plant collection!! We can have a plant tour bonus at the end of one of the videos 😊
Yes! Love the plants on the window sill.
Dani knows her stuff! "No, it's a glittery dress in a bag!" She knew _exactly_ what it was, even when you thought it was a dress in a bag. So fun.
I'm pretty sure I only bought 4 bags in the last 20 years and everything else I use was second-hand. I never give in the the temptation to buy unless I need a bag for a specific occasion. I don't even know how much money I've saved through using free bags.
I always look forward to when I see Dani’s journey pops on the channel. I love her energy and declutter progress is amazing and she is so inspiring
Daniiii!! Finally! Wish you all the the good, girl!!
This is an amazing series. Dani is such an inspiration. Looking forward to the next video ❤
Coming next sunday 💛
@@SpaceMakerMethod That's great 👍
Y'all should be proud! Wow!
Looks like the dog looked over and smiled at 34:12 so cute 😊 (happy with the extra space)
Ricky 💛💛💛
I like Dani - she has such a nice, positive Energy 😊
This is an amazing declutter. I only wish i could make decisions as fast as Dani. She is a powerhouse. Well done girl. She is so dedicated to letting go!!!!!! Great teamwork!!!!!!!
💛
I am Loving these declutter with Dani videos! She decides quickly and is ruthless!
She's a decluttering machine!
Great job , Dani! I love your plants!!!❤
What an awesome idea to have some of her beehive come and get clothes from her, I love that! Girl power
It really is the best. 💛
I love that you called them my beehive! My girlfriends and I all have matching bee tattoos! We're a hive! ❤❤❤
I thought I had bags of bags of bags. You win!
Absolutely love watching Dani declutter. She gets sh*t done!
Dani is clearly someone who loves things but has no attachment to them. She owns her things and her things do not own her!
I had a really big sell pile. I started selling the best things and when I got tired of the game I donated the rest.
Don't know if this is too late but when you have too much to sell, you can sort it into categories/size and sell them in (mystery)boxes with 10 items for a smaller price. So that way, it's easier for you and people are more likely to buy it. Of course you make less money but you also have to account for al the time you spend, selling everything individually.
Love the video's! And love that you share your home, Dani! Thank you for that. You seem like a great person!
Another option would be to send it to a resale platform like thredup. I think there are a lot more brands like that that take people's clothes and sell them for them. Yes, you will only get a portion of the sale price, but I think it will help for so many clothes.
Plus, you'll get rid of it quickly and it won't sit around forever. You don't have to buy shipping materials and go through the hassle of packing each item yourself.
Danis declutter is inspiring. She shows us that we all start somewhere. In the end it will be more peaceful.
💛 Couldn't agree more 💛
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻The thing is Not to buy furniture to put more things, is decluttering!!¡
I love all the houseplants
I’m amazed how decisive Dani is
So ultra focussed
Good for you
Thank you for sharing* your vulnerable everything
I totally understand having clothes and multiple sizes
Then I look and know I paid too much😢( and can’t part with
Maybe I missed it but I’d love to hear a little bit more conversation from Dani about how she ended up with so much stuff. Stuff she’s not really attached to. Why now? What does she do to herself that is helping her let go?
That's how I kept the clutter in control when I was single, by giving away items in good conditions, but I did not want no more. We all did that, exchange clothes, as a way of getting more use of the items, kind of recycle/reuse. But now I'm far from my family and make no sense to pay for luggage for that purpose. I'm glad she has such close friends.
Did my morning chores along side. Thanks for sharing!
Is it crazy that I’m in love with all of her large square reusable bags? I’m not being useful at all! Great declutter session!
I love the decluttering series. She is doing a great job.
So happy to hear that!
Wow! She is so good at letting go!!! High five Dani! 🎉
This has to be one of my favorite decluttering projects/series i’ve followed on youtube in a very long time❣️
😊 So encouraged while watching you declutter. WOW
I started to do more of my decluttering.
I can’t wait to see Dani’s new house.
This is why I go thru my tiny house every three months. It’s so easy for “stuff” to just pile up
Great job ladies! The dog is loving the space.
Isn't Ricky so cute💛
I can always justify a bag - It's useful!!
Thank you for sharing, this is difficult for me to look at.
you have much patience and grateful for your client.
It seems like no one makes video about the decluttered stuff remove from the house.
This is the secret, out of the house final decision.
Thumbs up for kitty cat! 🐈😻
