(singing) Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be doing an
extreme declutter or spring clean of my closet. It has got so bad that it's actually getting
me down now, so this is very much needed. And it's also nearly spring time, so I'm going
to put all of my winter clothes away into storage and bring out all of my spring clothes,
and just have a good sort-out. I'm going to be using the Marie Kondo method as well, so
I'm going to take everything out of my closet, sort through what sparks joy and what doesn't,
and then put it all back, all nicely organized, so I hope you enjoy this video. If you do,
give it a big thumbs up, and if you're new, please subscribe. I do lots of cleaning videos,
and I would love to have you as a viewer. So, let's do this.
This is a little before for you, to show you how bad my cupboards have got. It's just so
full. Nothings folded anymore, and the drawers won't even close. I'm so embarrassed at how
bad it actually got. I think I just focus on all the kids' cupboards, and mine will
always come last, but to start out, I'm just going to pull everything out of the closet,
put it all on the bed, so that I can see exactly how much stuff I have, and then I'll be able
to go through one item at a time, thinking about what sparks joy, what I want to keep,
what I want to throw. I'm putting it in three different piles. One is a winter pile to keep,
a spring pile to keep, and then one is just a donation pile. I'll just go through everything,
and then all the winter stuff will go into storage. All the spring stuff will go back
into the closet, and obviously, I'll just donate all of the stuff that I no longer want.
(singing)
As you can see, my clothes have changed, because I actually ran out of time on the first day
that I started clearing out my closet. I only gave myself an hour, and it was definitely
not enough time, so now we're on to the next day, and I'm tackling my drawers now, so again,
I'm just pulling everything out of them, going through what I want to keep, what I want to
throw, if it's in the right place, and then folding them in the Marie Kondo way of folding.
I'm definitely not as neat and perfect as she is, but I love folding this way, so that
when you open a drawer, you see exactly what you have. It's really easy to choose what
you want to wear. I also love this for the kids' clothes as well, because they can see
everything all in one go as soon as they open it up. So yeah, I'm just going to go through
all of the drawers and do the same process. (singing)
I also have loads of makeup bags shoved down the side of our dresser. They're there for
when we go traveling, but I've pulled all of them out and thrown some away as well,
and now I'm moving on to our other closet. This is where I keep all of my longer dresses
and jackets, so again, I'm just going to go through it one by one and only put back the
things that I love, that I'm definitely going to wear this spring and summer. (singing)
Now that I've cleared out so many clothes, we have loads of hangers to go back, so I'm
just going to put them all back equally into each closet, and then I have these storage
boxes on top of my dresser. These hold accessories, like bags and scarves, as well. So I'm going
to clear them out, put all of my little handbags back, all neatly, and throw away a few scarves
that I no longer wear, and then put them back.
I'll now show you the afters. Already looking cleaner as soon as you open the door. All
of those bags that were stuck down there are now gone. The drawers actually close now,
and I've had a good clear-out of all the winter clothes, and I've brought a few spring ones
back. I've cleared out all of the storage boxes here, as you saw, so I've just got the
handbags that I want to keep, and a few scarves as well. I won't show you my underwear drawer,
but it is nice and tidy now. These are my t-shirts and lounge wear, and then down here,
there are pajamas, and loads of gym wear.
Then over in this cupboard, I've also cleared out all of my winter things. This is where
I keep my longer dresses and more formal clothes, but I've cleared it out. There's still a few
transitional pieces in it, like that is quite an autumn color, but because it's still a
little bit cold, I'm keeping it for now. But yes, I'm pleased. It's looking a lot cleaner.
Our laundry basket is there. There's normally a white one there, but it's downstairs. But
yes, this honestly is looking so much better than it did. Over here, this huge pile of
clothes are all winter clothes that need to go into the loft or under this bed for storage.
And then these two bags are full of clothes that are to be donated. They're all things
that I thought, "Am I really going to wear this again? Probably not," so I'm getting
rid of all of that.
Right, so that's it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it motivates
you to do the same. Now that it's all done, I feel so much better, and I cannot believe
how long I left it for. I was getting rid of maternity clothes and clothes that weren't
even my size anymore. So I feel so much better now that it's all clear and sorted out. So
thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you in my next one. Bye, guys.
