When she's ready, maybe Sherry can donate the duplicate tools to a trade school or men's shelter. There are also programs for women in trades!

You can make an indoor toolbox. Just a couple of screw drivers ,hammer, measuring tape, screws, nails and get a big toolbox for the garage.
Oh. I love when you work with your sister

Ohhh, right?!💖💖
It's actually really refreshing to see a realistic declutter, and not the miracle social media sensation. There's years to literally unpack, so it's not going to happen overnight.
Also the comment about needing to remove twice as much as you bring into the house is so real.
As someone with hoarding tendencies who has massively decluttered I think the speed isn't what matters, as long as you maintain that forward momentum you get there. I also found that having to redo rooms I had previously decluttered gradually eroded my urge to buy new stuff so it got easier over time.

I noticed you guys were talking about a project list and what has been a game changer for me (it's from Dana K. White) is that doing the project is an absolutely valid use of decluttering time. Going to hang the picture takes just a few minutes and it's something you no longer have to store. Or it makes you realize you don't actually like it better than what you already have hanging and you'd rather donate it. Replacing the doorknob means I no longer have to store a door knob. And I am not annoyed every time I open that door. And it just takes a few minutes. Completing the project IS decluttering.
I think you should create a huge wall of LABELLED drawers in the garage and every drawer contains only one type of item: one for batteries, one for screwdrivers, one for torches and so on. While you're decluttering the house you can add the items you find into the matching drawers and in the end decide how many and which of each type of item you want to keep.

100% a month after putting stuff in boxes you completely forget what is stored. I even label transparent boxes so I can see what is in them at a glance.
We must give Sherri some leeway when it comes to declutterring swiftly. #1 Sherri does not live alone which adds another level to declutterring-“frustration”. #2-Feeling completely overwhelmed by amount of items. #3-coming to the realization that declutterring can take years can cause declutter paralysis. Sherri, I’m pulling for you. Carla you are so patient and kind, maybe you can convenience Sherri to get on a more detailed “declutterring (getting rid-of-stuff) plan”😮 Sherri’s journey will be successful. Hang in there. Keep the Faith!

Yes! Larger, simpler and more matchy-matchy furniture would make a big impact on reducing the visual clutter, without even changing the volume of inventory.
The middle stage of decluttering can be SO exhausting. That stage where you've put I a ton of hard work but everything can still feel chaotic. For me, I find it's nice to keep one room or even just one cupboard really, really decluttered and organized so I can go there and remind myself how good it feels to be in that space. Keep just doing little by little Sherry! We're all rooting for you!
It's awesome when you were following up with your sister because that's where we get some real talk. You're a great accountability partner, Carla!
Sheri, nothing like moving stuff to the garage to make it easier to rid of. Having stuff half gone makes one realize it’s ok to get it all the way down.
One of the things I noticed with your sister, which is true of a friend hoarder I work with….is the need for so many single use items that aren’t really necessary. For example, I remember the “thing used to squeeze the end of the toothpaste” that there were 3 or 4 of from one of your sisters videos….. or my friend had like 5 colanders for specific different types of vegetables, but she NEEDS all of them. As I go through my own decluttering journey, there’s moments where “simplify” has to be my motto…. And then I allow that to offset that with moments where I pick my battles and i really USE the 4 different types of vegetable peelers, but I don’t need the collection of knee socks that I haven’t worn in 5+ years. Thank you for these videos! I did 4 drawers in my bedroom yesterday and also one large bag of trash, a pile of goodwill donate, which feels good. (And a pile of “sell” which either I do or donate). I probably am a clothes hoarder, and need to get to a place where everything fits in my bureaus. It helps to have these conversations in my mind as I work.
I love to see you two together. Sheri, you're so kind to allow us to see the process. You are so easy-going. It's never-ending work when sharing a home. Both of you are doing a great job. Take care, Linda 🦋

Great job sis :) I think ultimately both those drawer pieces of furniture should go, since there's no rhyme or reason to what gets stored in them haha. Having drawers vs. just a flat surface or hooks in the entry just collects clutter -- if there's space it'll be filled! But the items aren't for a purpose unique to the entry or living room, so it's unlikely someone would look there for a given item.

I agree, especially when it comes to that entry dresser. There were a lot of little dressers when they decluttered the hallway a little while ago as well. Just too many small, not really functional storage pieces. Also, like things need to be stored together. I’ve seen so many tools in weird places. Ok, I get have a few tools on hand like screw driver or tape measure, but most of those tools should be in the garage.
I used tissue boxes. They come in so many pretty colors and patterns. I cut them to fit the space. I have them in all my drawers. They are free and can be recycled when they start to wear out.

I use shoeboxes that are sturdy for my dressers to wrangle my clothes. It’s so much easier to find things when they are folded nicely and not loose in a drawer. I also have the white dividers shown in the video for shallow drawers. I bought some amazing kitchen junk drawer dividers from IKEA, but I have find the name.

I almost watched it all the way through then I got up and decluttered 9 canvas bins. They weren’t that bad, but found things I forgot I had like 4 Comet cleansers.😃 Then I came back and finished your video. I have 8 weeks until my knee replacement. I need to get things done but I move so slow using two canes or my walker, glad I took a little bit of time.🙂 Thank you Carla!😘Oh I love when you and your sister laugh.
This is such a huge task for Sherry and you’re very patient with the whole process. While some things have changed for Sherry, I’m hoping she’s not just doing these things to please you rather than to make the changes for herself. It’s so tough to do and requires a very committed approach. I’m cheering you both on from my place ❤❤

There was a part in our filming where she said the motivation to Declutter has waned. Lots of technical issues with the filming yesterday so I had to cut that part out . But yeah, I think any big transformation journey. There are a lot of moments where you forget why you wanted to do it in the first place or you want to give up. I go through it all the time with wanting to get in shape and change my eating habits. I’m here if she wants the help and as many breaks as she wants is totally fine by me. Change really does require a great deal of commitment and you have to really really really want it. Easy to keep status quo unless there’s a lot of pain.

@@TheCarlaProjectI am so glad that you made the comparison to your own struggles. I find my self getting frustrated with friends who have debt or drinking problems because that has never been my struggle,and then realize that they’re probably thinking the exact same thing about my weight struggles. So many people in the comments who tsk tsk a hoarder or shopper’s issues need to look in the mirror and say,”Even though I don’t have THAT issue,I have this instead.” (Smoking,drinking,swearing,impatience,laziness,temper,impulsive,rudeness,spending,etc,etc,etc,) And your friends are just as tired of dealing with these.
Hi Carla, when I get too overwhelmed with the amount of stuff in a drawer, I use what I call a “sorting box” to help me clean it out. Basically it’s just a flat product box ( like you would get at Sam’s Club), or a box lid the size of the drawer I’m organizing. I literally dump the whole contents of the drawer into the box at one time, clean the drawer, and then decide what is most important to go back in that drawer. The stuff left in the box will go back to where it belongs and the trash, junk or donate stuff automatically gets taken care of.

I was thinking that they could have just emptied the drawers and then sorted after clearing out the spaces. I agree with Carla that it feels that stuff is being shuffled from one space to the next but a lot is being purged too. It is a process. Keep it up, sisters!
That top drawer WANTED to be emptied! 😅😂😅 The Decluttering Ghosts were ON THE JOB! 😊
I always enjoy you and your sister working together. She has lovely furniture. I hope the decluttering helps her showcase her home more and more.
I just love a Sherri Update! I am tackling my front hall drawers and kitchen drawer today, thanks to this inspiration. I did them 3 years ago, after my hubby passed, but it is high time for a reset.

Ah. Good sister banter and love. The progress is inspiring to many of us to continue our decluttering journeys. Maybe a vision board of what y’all would like the rooms to look like when they are done? Just some printed photos of rooms that we could work towards? I can’t just clean, so I end up moving a room around to give it a fresh new look. There has to be some fun in it. Thank you for sharing.

Sister Sheri, I just love you. I so identify with you. How lucky are you to have sister Carla. It goes so much easier with a gorgeous Carla by your side. I appreciate you allowing us join you on your journey. I think Covid really messed us up. We were all terrified by those empty shelves in Stores. So we stocked up. Watching your videos, I got the courage to face my hidden storage in bags and boxes. Very sobering. You are both such bright lights. I hope you and Carla continue to work together in future because it gives the rest of us, such insight into the process, and the realization it’s not an overnight and done situation. Did I mention how much I love Carla’s videos? Yes I do, I watch them for inspiration and reality checks. Her personality is so peaceful and soothing. The two of you together is pure joy…the giggling as you remember your mom. She would love that! Hugs Judy

Oh my gosh, THAT'S what it was! I texted my landlord about one in the hallway! Now I feel silly.
Always love watching you two! I would suggest turning one of the dressers into an all tool storage and the other can hold the miscellaneous, that way you know to go to the hall for all tools or what not.
I find that I tend to not put random stuff into the drawers that I have baskets in. I stop and say to myself "oh that doesn't go in that basket", because each basket has a purpose. It makes me more mindful of where I'm putting stuff.

Sherri, I love you. You're funny and beautiful and great. You don't need to feel embarrassed, shuffling things is the nature of being in the middle of a declutter. The spaces you clean get filled temporarily while you are decluttering and cleaning other spaces. As long as you are truly getting rid of things, eventually you get there. I totally believe in you. You will get there, and you are making so much progress, it is striking!!!!
I think it’s totally ok to put stuff in the garage when you’re in a process like this, as it is not your living space. It’s like a step to tackle afterwards and a few times over. The main living areas should always be the first priority. I think you’re doing great! Super motivating. 😊 But, yea- stop bringing so much in! That’s a whole other animal that needs to be addressed. I speak as a professional organizer. ❤

She is a very good friend! 😂 and, we have been at it for just a few hours about 5 days so far. It is exhausting! 🎉😢 But, we ARE doing it!!! I love watching you 2. You always have fun. My friend Lori is like a sister to me and we manage to squeeze in some fun as well! 🎉 you gals are our inspiration! P.s. she is a neat freak and I am a bit of a hoarder! So, it is traumatic lol working on it! 😊
Those organized drawers look so good when you open them! Well done, Sheri and Carla. You have inspired me to get crackin' on mine again.
Woke up and you had posted, hooray !!! Maybe get a big bin and every tool - THEY'RE E EVERYWHERE, throw it in there. I am laughing because I was once Sherry. I moved 118 boxes from apartment to apartment for 4 years straight and when I finally settled, I got rid of 118 boxes of mostly junk. My poor hubby. I know he truly loves this old broad because he never said a word, just asked where he should put it 😂😂😂❤❤❤. What is hilarious is hubby is a minimalist and me, well, I just told on myself. 😂😂😂 My biggest help was stopping stuff coming in the house in the first place. Have a fantastic day Carla, and Sherry ??? I'll be waiting and watching in 2027 😂😂😂❤❤❤.
I laughed when Sherry said 2027. Believe me it won’t be long coming around and at that stage (with the help of Carla the motivator) you will be looking for stuff to go through. Every bit that leaves the house is great and donations are a serious win/win/win, for you, the charity and whoever buys it. Those two sets of drawers look brilliant. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👏💪👍🙏💐🐕🦺
I have loved this series! The love and laughter is obvious. You, Carla, and Sherry are inspirational and motivational. I am honored that Sherry shared her journey on KZread. I have the thing about mason jars, too. Can’t tell you why- but I just do LOL. I finished another deep decluttering my house about two months ago. It has been a process and this last time it went quickly. What has helped me is keeping a box in the garage specifically for donations so I can stay in the process routinely. I have learned more from watching you two, and it was so much fun- I identified so much! Thank you so very much.
Decluttering is definitely a tiring journey. You can’t always see the rewards right away but they do come! Keep up the great work, Sherri! It’s worth the time and extreme effort you have put into this plus you are helping so many people too!
But why have tools in both desk though?

I love the work that you do, I get so many ideas and inspiration from watching your videos for my own decluttering journey as well as my decluttering assistant/side hustle job. One thing that I really like to do that my clients have expressed appreciation for, is that I always take the trash, recycling and the donations to wherever they need to go. I feel it helps them not get tempted to re-hoard items they let go of and gives them the chance to experience and enjoy the freedom and lightness that letting go brings right away. Also I think that showing that part of the process could inspire your viewers to follow through.
Those afters are so satisfying! I love the family photo.
I often tackle drawers or a cupboard and even if the results aren't visible, not being in plain sight, I feel it's important that what's inside is streamlined and organised. New homes are created so when new stuff comes up, it's easy to know where it goes, if there are duplicates. Maybe not the fastest method, but it feels right for me to work from the inside and out.
I absolutely love watching Sheri and Carla. I miss both my sisters that have passed away years ago. I feel like I am so much like Sheri, I declutter one room and then fill it up with stuff that I am decluttering from another room. I feel like a dog chasing its tail at time. Sheri you are so awesome sharing this journey with all of us and it gives me inspiration - Carla you are such a wonderful sister and friend. LOVE YOU BOTH looking forward to seeing more from the two of you. (I love your mothers saying - house under construction LOL)

Hey Carla! Just wondering has Sherri ever considered therapy for her hoarding tendencies? Just wondering bcse I know you have said your mom was also a hoarder & how we grow up greatly effects how we live. I know you have worked very hard & been able to keep your home very simplified & minimalistic but perhaps Sherri would benefit from that inner work so that permanent changes can be made? Don't get me wrong I understand it is all a huge process & a whole lifetime of living a certain way is not going to change even in a couple of years! You are such a good sister Carla & you have the patience of a saint. I know you want the best for your sister but obviously we can't want more for those we love than they want for themselves. She has to want the change enough to do the very hard work to make that happen! Sherri is a doll & I wish the best for her!! 💖

I was wondering if you should end the video by making a trip to the donation centre that way that days decluttring is finished and out of the house and things for other locations are put where they go and trash out of the house i would like to see that and would make a big difference because she wouldn't have to store the donations
Dear Carla, dear Sherri, this will be a masterpiece for both of you. Carla is still ahead at the moment. With their experience. But this project is bigger than any you've had before. It's a whole house. With several residents. It seems infinite now. But it is not. Here calculations have to be made in other dimensions. We are still taking inventory: "What do we actually have?" Sorting things out is very difficult at this time. Because there is no overview. But the day will come when all the tools (for example) will be in a heap in the garage. And by then you had held each one in your hand at least three times. And you are now 100 percent sure that there is nothing else anywhere. And now (!) you can let go. Only now. I predict that from then on everything will suddenly happen very quickly. 1. The decision 2. Choosing a place for what remains. Because everything is possible now, everything has been rearranged and we have learned that nothing is set in stone, but that places can be reoccupied. It will be your masterpiece. And then you stand there arm in arm and say: "Look, dear mother. You didn't make it. But the two of us together, your daughters, we made it happen. It's all good. And, by the way, we love you very much ."

I say to myself I will dump a whole draw in the rubbish bin but when I see the contents I end up keeping most of it. I am very strict about a home for everything though so I don't usually end up with duplicates.
Carla, I applaud you for patiently helping your sister with this tremendous task. And Sherry, I applaud you for letting Carla (and others) help you and let us follow along your journey. I feel like you are slowly arriving at a point, where relocating is not an option anymore. The garage will be much harder to go through the second time. I wish you both the strength to deal with it, please don’t skip this important step! Sherry, maybe look for coaching outside of family to help with your issues of not being able to let go. I wish you all the best!!
I got so happy when I saw a video with Sherri!!! 🎉😄 good call asking Samson to move; right before the drawer fell out😅 good mama💕🐾

I know right!! Protect my baby at all costs 😍
Great job! Although I feel your sister still has too many tools, it already looks a lot neater and more organised. Maybe a tally of the tolls on a paper or excel sheet could help. If your sister sees that she has 100 screwdrivers, maybe she’ll be more inclined to get rid of them

Agree and eventually.. ❤
Love these videos. This is the reality of decluttering, it's not linear, it brings up lots of feelings and habits and unlearning those takes time. Keep on keeping in, it will make a difference. It's hard to shop if you are busy decluttering 😂.
It’s good to look at your drawers every once in a while even after doing the decluttering. Looking at everything every once in a while helps with memory of where things are…as well. Plus maybe to get rid of more things as well…

always good to get reacquainted with our things that are out of sight!
I love these videos. If I’m feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by the amount of stuff I have to do, or go through, I go to this playlist and it puts me in the “let’s just start somewhere” mindset. And so, I start! 😊

I'm so glad!
Nice job! I decluttered mugs yesterday. My husband used to collect them and he was ready to donate a bunch. I enjoy these sister videos! 😊
Phone boxes are excellent drawer dividers, sturdy & mid size. I used them to divide bigger organizers into smaller zones or in between organizers.

oh yes good call!
It’s all a work in progress, and it always gets worse before it gets better. Thank you for sharing this journey, helping/supporting your sister in a gentle but firm way is lovely to watch. You can see the love you have for each other ♥️ Maybe all the tools that are their own need to go back to their on house 😂😂
I would like to send my love to your sister and say, you are so intelligent. You don't need all this stuff. You have all the knowledge within you. To me it feels like you don't rely on what you have inside you. It's enough. I also think that you are kind of prepping for every possible scenario. I can recognise myself. There were times in my life when I bought books for the future in case I would be cut off from the world and not be able to find books. I realised that I was lacking faith in the future. I think you are doing a great job decluttering. Take a step back and try to figure out what it's all about. Do I believe in scarcety or abundance. ❤❤❤

I have 2 sets of encyclopaedias, a huge DIY home maintenance book, 'just in case' the world goes 'kaput', and I need to know, fix, build something. I'll be right!😁🔨🔧🪛🪚🪓✂
I just love you and your sister together! 😊❤
Well done ladies! Junk/catch-all drawers are hard. 😊💖
Yay your sister is back!! I've missed her so so much!! Looking forward to more videos with her! ♥️♥️♥️
Yessss! Another video with your sister! I’m so excited she planted some of those herbs! 😂 I hope she’s able to eventually tackle the clutter beast. She’s got to know how far she wants to go with her minimalistic journey (she had mentioned in a past video). I’ve simplified, but I still feel like I peel back the layers (like an onion) as I’ve heard it called. I always look forward to your videos! ❤
I just finished this series and I’m ready for more! The two of you remind me of my sister and I! Please keep the videos coming, I love your banter and one liners ❤
So happy for you Carla, hitting your savings goal to own a home soon. Hi Sherry 🙋🏼♀️thanks for sharing your journey with us! ❤ Hello Sampson 🐾
Love that your back with her x
Sister is a fan fave! Every time she goes into those drawers she will enjoy seeing those cleared and organized spaces. Sister is correct - decluttering and organizing is a journey. Listening to y’all makes me miss my sister. Thanks to Sherri for opening her home to us.
I just turned 100 cartwheels when this video came up. We LOVE, LOVE, 💕💕💕💕 your sister!!! And.. we 💕 you too!!!!!!!
Love this series❣️ Thank you Sherry & Carla for Keeping It Real👍 I think, for many of us, our homes’ disarray is a result from being SO BUSY with the other parts of our lives! It is difficult to make thoughtful decisions when you’re exhausted! Then those delayed decisions morph into disarray in our lives, whether it’s the home, the car, the finances, & even relationships. Just because a person is finally able to make the decisions, doesn’t necessarily mean they suddenly have ample time to act on all those decisions at once! I think it’s more “Real Life” to be moving along, one area at a time, while still seeing progress. Keep chipping away at those small areas and you’ll wind up with the form you’re looking for👍 Thanks Again for being such great encouragers❣️
