I paused the video and went right into my kitchen and packed a box with "The Twelve Days of Christmas" water glasses. These were from my childhood and my mom used them every Christmas for brunch. They were very sentimental to me but since my mom passed away 15 years ago, and as I get older and know that my one and only daughter does not want them, I have decided to donate them and bless someone else with them. After having to clear out my parents home after living in the same place for 35 years, I know I don't want to keep hanging onto things that my daughter will have to clear out as I age. I am only going to keep things I use most of the time. I will NEVER be a minimalist, but you are helping me let go of unnecessary and unused items. Thanks Dawn!

"I don't have to justify myself to you..." haha this is the best. No you don't! You do you!

Storing the lids on the containers makes life so much easier!

I'm the warden of my stuff. Some things have a life sentence and other things have served their time

[MegDesignsCA]

I'm an Interior Designer, and your design explanations are AWESOME! I would definitely say green is your 3rd color. Another great video, thank you! 💚

[novocaine]

Your channel has changed my life. My house was one of those disaster houses you see. It's finally becoming tidy. Thank you so much.

The plant is a pothos. Love them! They require diffused light and are hard to kill. I now have my grandmother's nearly 90 year old pothos! It had to be trimmed back a lot but now looks so healthy! My tip: don't let them get too long. Just pinch off the, growth near, a nodule and it will regrow. Love your channel and kitchen!

I love that your daughter was like, "do we still need these?" good job mama. After I saw you storing the lids on your "leftovers" containers - I took out all my plastic stacked up containers, kept the bottom to use for organizing drawers, then replaced the plastic ones with 5 glass ones with lids that I store with the lids on. I'm so much happier with this system.

[deniselatimer]

Lids on containers is a game changer. Never going back to the old way!

[sammy_oooo]

Well done Adaline for recognising the excess of containers! Well done, Dawn, modelling & living in a minimalist way is leaving an impression on her 💜

Simple and beautiful redecorating🪴🤍💙 I love when you said, “I don’t have to explain myself to you.” 🙌🏼 Thank you for always giving permission to “you do you”.

[BrendaHendrickson]

Oh, Dawn! You consistently present new, fresh ways of thinking about my stuff, and I am forever grateful! I’ll be making another pass through my home this afternoon with this on my mind. Thank YOU! 💕
Also...I looove your style! Thank you for the wonderful decorating tips!

[blackholesun]

I feel peaceful when I gaze in your cabinets. Seeing all that open space is so uplifting. Sometimes it's the little things that are impactful. My aha moment. 😇

[paulaswain]

Good job Dawn, I am growing with you. Thank you for allowing us to try and fail and really understand that we’re learning a fantastic freedom to be able to live feeling good about our environment!

[toodlebug]

Putting the lids on the containers makes so much more sense!!

[simpleandhealthymama]

I loved the balance of this video - decluttering, but then a touch of decorating. Your home always looks warm and livable, and I think it's because you've found this same balance in your life. I think that was the lesson of the video for me - ruthless decluttering for simplicity is the "base color" for a good life, but allowing yourself 10% of an "accent color" or fun, more frivolous stuff that makes your heart happy.

[catherinemcgill]

I switched my container storage to your lid-on method and now I have fewer containers I feel like I have so many more! It works! My friends and family don’t believe me but I swear by it. It makes me happy every time I get a container! 👍

[aliceb]

Would I buy it again? This question was a game-changer for me when trying to decide whether to declutter something.

[joyfullylivinglife]

One of your very best videos, Dawn!!!
