Oooo I love your sofa pillows❤ Go with the new place for coffee maker. I think you can lose the 2 decorative napkins on the shelf, they have no function. I like the pitcher with flowers ..however, (Im gonna put my keys on the kitchen table, think I will toss them on the matt, less obvious") you dont need the white doily under it, more to clean under. Do you need 2 cake plates out? Pack another one away, let your shelves breathe, too much crammed in that corner, open space is good space.❤ just a suggestion. OH! here is an idea, use one of your cake plates to put under the pitcher of flowers if you like it out, just pack the dome away.😉

Hi, Dawn! I stalk your channel often. Love it! I've been a minimalist for a while, after watching you of course. I like the hush your house idea. I've been doing this and not knowing it. There is something about having less in a home. Makes me feel like I can breathe easily. Thanks so much for encouraging us to clean and declutter! Keep up the good work! 🌻 P. S.

When my older children were younger, we used to do this thing that we called yard sale. I would go in the room and drag everything but the big furniture out throw all the laundry on the couch, and put the toys in a long line through the house. Then, after vacuuming, we would start putting things back, but the boys had to go to the “yard sale” and select the most important things to put back in the room. Once the room was where we wanted it, everything else would be boxed up and put in the storage shed, or set aside for a real yard sale/donation/give away. It was the best way I have ever found to get young children excited about cleaning their room and decluttering toys. Haha, I guess desperation led me to a hybrid of Marie Kondo and this fabulous new approach!

It is 100% okay to get new stuff to freshen up your space and then put away and eventually get rid of the old stuff! I get my stuff at the Goodwill and I take it to the Goodwill too! I would argue that this is actually a fantastic thing to do and is the ultimate way to recycle. My decide once rule on this is that I don't buy new stuff. I buy stuff from the thrift store or vintage or whatever. The old stuff is often of much higher quality.

I've been a minimalist 2015. Last year my kitchen started getting too much stuff. I took "EVERYTHING" out of the kitchen and set it on a table in a side room. Then as I needed it I would bring it back into the kitchen. I gave it a few weeks and then everything that was still on the table left the house. I really like the quite room, so peaceful.

I tried it this evening. The reactions have been so funny. My husband and boys were gone, and the girls in their room and I quickly emptied the living room of all decor and pillows and blankets (and stray items) My girl came out to say good night and looked at it and said, Mama, you cleaned the living room : ) I told her what I did and she said she loved it!! All clean and empty. When my husband and boys got home, my husband said, what happened? It looks like we just moved in, the homey touch is missing, but my sons felt just like my daughter - it feels so good everything clean. Please, Mama , when you put some stuff back, only a few things, not much! It was really eye opening and hilarious. : ) By the way, I do love that clean empty feeling too.

I’ve seen steel (not aluminum because it isn’t magnetic) cookie sheets used to corral magnets, notes, etc. on the side of a refrigerator. It makes the assortment of small items “read” as one item. It’s the same concept as gathering small items on a tray to make a grouping, which looks less cluttered than a lot of individual items.

My mom wanted a cake plate,but had little use for it. I told her that coffee shops keep apples, oranges, and bananas in it. Perfect solution for mom.

I think the dining room table looks lovely with the decor. It’s very simple.

I watched this video a few days ago and couldn't get it out of my head. I even showed it to my mom, age 82, who lives with me and my husband and daughter. My mom has been doing Swedish Death cleaning in her own room. She loved your video as well. Yesterday we took everything out of every cabinet and drawer in the kitchen. Scrubbed it all down and made some hard decisions. There were some things that were lovely but that we just don't use. I came up with a new line. "If this had never come into my house would I miss it? If the answer is no, I got rid of it. Thank you for this video. I feel so motivated to continue.

My youngest son, 21, moved back home after two years of college - Culinary Arts - and working. He is revamping the kitchen w/me. We need more counter space to work. We can’t expand, so we have to detract. I wanted everything in the drawers so we had to declutter a lot. I was debating an egg slicer… I don’t like or eat boiled eggs. I don’t use them in Chicken salad or anything😝. We only make them to decorate for Easter. I couldn’t let it go because “everybody has one” (my mom/mother-in-law/sister). I can use it for slicing strawberries and other soft fruit (knowing I will NEVER remember to use it for that😒). I put it in the garage yard sale bin but it was still talking to me. Your question of “If this had never come into my house, would I miss it? If “No” let it go!” led me to ask “What would I use instead??” A knife. Like I have for 40+ years. Except now I have my son’s professional knives which make everything so much faster!! Thanks for your idea!! Using that with Dawn’s ideas here will make letting go so much easier! 🙂💐 **Update - I offered that egg slicer in a FB Gifting group. Someone snatched it right up! It’s gone and not missed!!**

I accidentally hushed my house last week when I got new flooring. I paid extra to have the installers move the furniture, but I cleared all surfaces and emptied closets and stacked everything in the laundry room. It was so much easier to get rid of stuff afterward (but not easy to do laundry) and I realized how much extra we had when I was slowing reincorporating our belongings. I’ve been so much happier in the space. Now I need to hush the garage by taking care of all these donations! Maybe my garage will be quiet enough to fit my car!!

This just popped up in my feed. I don't understand why relaxing has to equal bare. I adore my bedroom and it has so many of my favorite items. I have never understood people who don't hang art/pictures on their walls.

It doesn't have to be bare. It's the idea that having a lot of stuff to clean can feel overwhelming and each brain has a visual threshold.

I’ve made a decision! I love Dawn and have been watching her for a couple of years, but I’m not even going to try to be a minimalist anymore. When she finishes decluttering, there’s nothing going on, nobody’s doing anything, nothing to do but look at the clear surfaces. I like to sit among all my little projects, all going on at the same time. I plan to keep all my stuff as long as I’m here. (No Swedish Death Cleaning for me.) I’ll just make sure to leave enough money to pay for a couple of big dumpsters after I’m gone. Still luv ya, Dawn! And Cas!

My analysis without trying this: 1. Empty an entire room/space. 2. Box everything up using Amazon Boxes 3. Hide everything. 4. Wait 24 hours. 5. Spaz out since I still need to use the space but don't have the necessary tools to do what I need to do. Post 24 hrs: 1. Put everything away that I know I'll actually use AND has a space. 2. Find cool items and tools to fill now empty space. 3. Return back to where I started.

Hi Dawn. Thanks for this video and decluttering ideas. One tip I wanted to share that I learned from an organization conference (I can't remember who did the kitchen organization tips), is that your avocadoes will keep longer if you store them in the fridge drawer with lemons (or other citrus). I've found this helpful as avocadoes in particular seem to have such a short window where they're really good and they're too good (and expensive) to waste ;) We're always going in the fridge for something daily, so they're easy to spot and check when they're ripe.

@lyndi9082

I hushed my living room and my kids thought it felt so peaceful, my husband said it looked clean, and my mom thought I got robbed. Haha. I realized some things didn't have to be in there and I put a lot less decor back in. It also took about 2 mins or less to tidy it up everyday. It was awesome.

The beauty of radical decluttering is that items you really love can shine, like your fiesta ware. I really like how the pitcher on the table pulls out the corals in the wall art. Looks great ! The coffee pot on left of the stove makes total sense ! Thank-you Dawn for another great video.

I put a dish towel around/over items that must set beside my stove when cooking something that splatters. Don’t put fruit or vegetables near each other on counters, in cabinets, on shelves or in refrigerator. They give off gases that cause the other to rot/breakdown faster. Interesting idea, but kinda loses the point to remove things to only purchase more items to take their place - like new decor w/out getting of the old removed items 🤷‍♀️I do like the idea of emptying a room, professional interior decorators do it all the time.

I recently did this to the outside of my refrigerator. We like to have photos, magnet momentos, and "artwork" from small friends of the family. But it had become overwhelming! I took all of it off and it truly felt like we were moving! Soooo weird. I decluttered a lot of what had been on there, then selectively put back our favorites in an organized layout. Now it feels like special memories on display instead of clutter.

Dawn, I LOVE the flowerpot and tulips so much!!! The open shelves are pretty, but they feel too busy. What if you put just the large glass one that is on top, on top in the center. (With the napkin just like it is.) Then on the second shelf, keep the plant and scoot it towards the center just a bit. Also put the rose glasses to the right of the plant. Leave a little space between them. Remove the wooden cake plate and put the rose plate and white mixing bowl, just one shelf down. Keep the clear one on the bottom where it is. Maybe use the peach Pyrex bowl and put it on the counter with fruit in it. It all looks very pretty so don't think you have to use these ideas. LOVE this video and the resting concept! ❤❤❤

I love the tulips with the Fiestaware pitcher & the pops of color. Just enough decor. to make it look nice, but not cluttered! Well done!

About once every other year, I clear out one room completely to wash walls and repaint, then I put things back in and inevitably, about 2/3’s of the items get put back in the room- bedrooms, living room, kitchen, baths, laundry- each room gets emptied, one room at a time- either the dump or our favorite thrift store gets the items I no longer use or desire. The house always look like a new remodel and fresh!

Thanks so much for all your ideas. I’m at the stage of letting go & down sizing. I don’t think I’ll ever be a minimalist. But I’m liking the clear counter tops. I think my next room is the master bedroom. 😅❤

The concept is good, good experiment. The coffee maker - I think it works better where it was . Personally, I gave up the coffee maker and switched to the pour over method. Smaller vessels, less to store and they start out clean every day. Coffee makers are a breeding ground for bacteria, the insides never dry out and most don't get cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis. The coffee tastes better with pour over and recommended by all coffee roasters

I always hush the house when changing the decir from season to season. Although I didn't know that is what it's called. It's so peaceful.

I have 2 coworkers who are right with you who have nothing on their countertops. I, on the other hand, lean toward practicality. The coffee maker near the cups, coffee/tea, and refrigerator wins over hiding it from view. I would lose my mind with so little counter next to the stove AND my husband trying to make coffee while I am cooking his eggs!

After following Minimalist ideas for 10 years now, this idea is one of THE best I’ve ever heard! “Hushing my house” is my new mantra and my new minimalism model going forward.

Great idea to let the space breathe for 24 hours before putting it back. I will try this with the open shelves in my home office. Then maybe try in the kitchen as I've been wanting to clear my counters one day.

Love the idea of “quiet” decluttering and reassessing objects,or replacing them, with something new. Even rearranging stuff gives it a nice new feel. Thanks for sharing.

I am on wk 3 of decluttering my sewing / craft room. We took everything out of the closet to put in shelves & when we put things away for the night, we cramped it all back in the closet.

My one objection to the majority of minimalist styles, is the lack of any pictures on the walls. That’s something I would never do because it just feels too cold and impossible to feel cozy … but maybe that’s just me. ☺️

@@kathleenobara3229 I agree about the lack of pictures. With pictures I am a maximalist !

My whole house, counters, walls cabinets are like gallery walls. I too hate clutter tho!

The new pieces compliment the rooms well.

I was thinking that too plus mugs... maybe cover the coffee maker with one of the cute pinky towels so it doesn't stick out and matches the open shelves.

I love the pitcher vase in your place and the spring accent colour! This is such an interesting idea 💡

Thank you for this video and you have NOT gone too far, I adore the flowers in the coral coloured vase thingy ❤

Everything looks so good. Especially table!!

Love the vintage flamingo Pyrex dish! Yes to Hushing our environment. 🕊💫

Love the vase so much!!!!!!!!

love the fiesta ware! I own some too-i think I need to choose my favorite color to simplify. Thank you so much for this decluttering idea!!

Love the pink in your kitchen. I have several pieces of the peony fiesta ware and I am obsessed with it!

I love the refreshed Spring look of the little touches of pink! And it pulls out the pink in the pictures hanging in the Dining Room, too. It just all looks so light and airy and nice. Well done, Dawn!

Every room! It's the goal. Getting there. I love the pink spring refresh in your kitchen!

I just realized we did this when we put new flooring in our family room. We had converted it to a fitness room. My husband wanted to put everything back where it was. I insisted it was the perfect time to get rid of things and make it nicer. Afterwards he was so impressed and it’s probably the nicest, streamlined room in our home.

We reached a MAJOR milestone this weekend. We can finaly park our car INSIDE the garage. My husband and I agreed that if we replace our old car, we have to store the new one in the garage.

That vase is gorgeous! What a cool design and love the color.

The pitcher filled with Tulips is my favorite. I have a yellow one like it, I put out for Spring 😄

I am watching this video as I am tackling my kitchen! Thank you☺️ You have helped me so much

So excited to see your new post. Thanks Dawn!! I need the encouragement

What a great idea! And I absolutely love all of your pink/coral Fiesta.

I really enjoyed this video. Your kitchen always looks neat and tidy but removing and redecorating as you did made it look so lovely.

Coffee bar around the corner in the table area. I did this and it clears clutter out of my kitchen. I had an ice maker too and moved it to the bar. Coffee cups and supplies in the cabinet. Love it.

Dawn!!🥰I LOVE this method!! Thank you so much for your awesome ideas you share with us!! I’ve been kind of stuck with not getting back into my decluttering. This has definitely put a spring in me today.❤

I love all the pink for spring! Looks great. I also love Fiestaware. We put some on our wedding registry. I absolutely love them!

I love the table decor!!! It really carries the color scheme from the kitchen to the dining table!!

I love love love Fiestaware as well. I'm so glad i invested in the dishes. I've really enjoyed using them, and they're so happy and fun, which means I never have to change them out!

This is an awesome idea!!! I’m so excited to try this!!! Thank you 🥰 Love the pink accents…so pretty

I LOVE that color! The tulips are so pretty too. ❤

The shelves look overly full compared to the rest of the kitchen.

Absolutely love this idea! I am for sure doing this starting tomorrow. 😊

I said i was focusing on the kids' rooms over spring break and i think this is the perfect way to go! No decisions just what do we want...love this! Wish you could do this with me! ❤

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done!! I LOVE Myquilinne and use her decor principles in my home all the time. ❤

Dawn I loved your video on hush your house! We live this way everyday now with all our rooms! We do look like we’re moving and we love it! Keep going, you we love the results, it gets rid of visual clutter what also attracts visual clutter! The only thing we have visual on our shelf in our kitchen is a picture of our son’s family and our granddaughter. That’s it, they are the vision and nothing else is competing like other visual clutter!!!🙏❤😀😀 Thanks for your advice😀

It all looks great to sprinkle that color around! Thanks Don for always bringing helpful tips and information to us I love all your videos I've been watching for a few years now and last night I decluttered my bookshelves in my living room while I was watching your hour and a half video of decluttering! It was super motivating and helpful

Ive been decluttering for years but this was a game changer! THANK YOU!

Omg! I’ve moved out all my chachkas & decor from my living room & bathroom. Loving the clean slate ❤ Excited to redo & shop my house to re-design in few days :) Love this decluttering/redesign concept!

Wow absolutly love the hush your house thing, so cool and visually it´s just a very quiet and peaceful home. Briliant Dawn

Love the declutter ideas. We moved into our home 5 years ago and slowly things are creeeping into the decor. i think it is time to quiet the rooms. Great spring clearing idea!!!

What an effective way to quiet the "visual roomscapes" in your home, Dawn! The clean lines of your kitchen show even more now. Love the Fiestaware colors and additions to your kitchen and dining room! 🙌🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻

I have been watching you for over two years and this is my favorite video (and I love them all)! I did this in my kitchen today and it helped me SO much. You are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this technique. Thank you, Dawn.

Gorgeous Fiesta ware! Love the dining room table Set up! 🌷 🌷 🌷

LOVE the rose & peony Feista! That's my favorite color and it brightens up your space!

I haven’t commented for awhile but I’m loving it Dawn and I love your videos and I am so appreciative of your work and everything you’ve been doing for us viewers!!

I bought the same butter dish you have and I also wanted it along with my salt and pepper off the counter. I bought a clear shelf off Amazon and just screwed it directly in my tile backsplash next to my stove. It's SO much better than being on the counter but yet accessible bc it's still out of a cabinet.

The pitcher and tulips look so pretty!

I love this and it's perfect timing. My bedroom was the first which I decluttered, and made a peaceful refuge, but atm it's got heaps of stuff which does not belong. I'm doing this today! Then I want to try the kitchen!
