I totally agree! If it’s put away, out of sight, out of mind - you won’t use it. You’re just giving your money away for things stored and won’t be used ever. I donate things I no longer want or have room for so someone else can use it.

@@TheCarlaProject I had a friend who got a storage unit for the same reason when she moved from Ohio to Arizona. She paid for said unit for well *over* 10 years! Guess what? She's changed apartments a few times and has NEVER had to room to ship everything from Ohio. She finally let the unit go and the storage company disposed of all of her "treasures". So much money down the drain!

That’s exactly what I was going to say. I would suggest she finds a friend who can keep it for her. Much less chance of it getting damaged as well.

Hope She keeps and repurposes the beautiful Antique that was her Mother's and actually use it in her new home. Instead, She should let a number of the modern cheaper made bookcases, shelves, and other things go.

She simply must bring the green hutch to the new home, it will make it look more soulful. Also the big bookcase because it’s vertical storage. Small furniture in a small place looks busy, and ineffectual. Look forward to next one!

Becky is going to be in plant heaven at her new place! The moving part is emotional and bittersweet but having a friend there to help guide you toward what you want and through the scary part is priceless.

I would do whatever possible to keep the vintage pieces...especially the family pieces. Smaller bed...bar stool at counter for eating...not a full size couch, etc. Along with the memories they cannot be replaced. I don't know what all she has to move but I saw a couple of options in the entryway/kitchen. From SE Kansas 🌻

her new place is absolutely magical! such a big opportunity for a fresh start, can't wait to see it all come together

You can totally fit the green cabinet, repurpose if needed. Beautiful new place and great light for plants! Congratulations 🎉

I just spent the whole weekend helping a friend move her elderly parents out because they are going into assisted living. When I tell you that I haven’t seen that much stuff in a while, it’s no exaggeration. The family was having decision fatigue. They ended up renting a storage unit and putting most stuff in there. Ugh…. I Would have thrown 85% of the things out!! I have never been more motivated to de-clutter my place now!!!

PLEASE don’t get rid of the green cabinet. It’s beautiful and I genuinely think it deserves a space in every home you move to.

It's beautiful especially the original color Green..Keep it vintage style..❤

Rain with new beginnings is a show that the new chapter will be blessed, so that is another good sign

I absolutely love watching you help your family and friends. You have the best relationships 😊

The photo of her parents has been tinted, which was common before color film.

That is so great to have your own place. Even though it's smaller it looks quieter and the back yard looks peaceful. Sometimes something comes along that forces you to reconsider things and in the end you're better off.

The green antique piece can go right there at the front door; to the other side of the window. All types of things can be stored in this unit. 🧐🤓

Storage units you'll be kicking yourself for wasting the money. Think of the money you can save. You could save right in your pocket to buy whatever you want.

She did so well!!! Can’t wait to see more. I did not want it to end!

New beginnings are so exciting (sometimes with a serving of terror on the side 😱) I'm excited for your friend and this new stage of life. You're a wonderful friend to help her with this transition. I'm looking forward to seeing her new home when she's fully moved in. I like your channel so much!❤

II just moved this week after being in a place for 6 years.. It is exhausting. I declutterred some things before the move and now that I am in the new place I will slowly go through and declutter more. I realize as I am getting older I just don’t want all the stuff. I am adopting the motto life is about experiences not about material things. I love Becky’s new place. So much character!

Hi, we moved 22 years ago from a house to a 2BR condo. We lost an attic and basement. Declutter and don't get a storage unit. Take the green hutch and tall bookcase. Tina, Al's wife

You two have such a fun vibe when you're together. I was actually shocked by Becky's decluttering powers. Wow... I didn't expect that she would have so much courage. It's so liberating. Great job and all the best in your new home! And a huge hug for Samson 💗

We all were missing you, Samson. Wellcome!

Bring the green bookcase/sideboard. It's not that big and is very nice storage for books, mementos, linens, etc.

The green unit can be a beautiful pantry for the kitchen since storage is so limited in that small area.

Can‘t wait to see the progress of moving. Please show us the next level of decluttering and take us to the journey of arriving in the new home and decorating all her personal stuff. Please push her to bring the green cabinet in and maybe let go something else.

I would keep the green cabinet and the book case and not take any of the wood boxes or small cabinets. What ever fits in them is what gets to stay for treasures and craft materials. Good luck with the move. ❤

Hi Carla, it looks like she could place that vintage green piece of her moms as you walk into the front door close to the counter. I hope she does not get rid of it. My mom has been dead for 20 years and Becky will want to see something of her moms in the future.

Omg! Tell her not to get rid of any of her plants.. they all are so amazing. 😍😍😍

Fantastic decluttering Becky! I hope you’ll be able to take the patio set for your new backyard oasis. Looking forward to seeing the process and the finale when Carla helps to organize. It’s going to be awesome! And take the green piece and maybe repurpose it for the bedroom. 💕☺️🏡

Could you take the mirror off the stand and mount it on a wall or door? Could any of the plants live outside?

Congratulations 👏🎉 Becky I love the new place. The look on Samsons face when he realized that you were with another dog 🐕 was precious.

KEEP THE GREEN PIECE!!! love love loveeee the new place, that garden and the apartment, just aahhhh

“We’re professionals. We’ve got a wagon!” Lovin’ it!

I hope she finds a spot for the green cabinet!

No storage unit ever unless it’s ONLY 30 days otherwise you are paying for your crap over and over and over again

It looks like the green hutch can fit on the wall by the island. And for sure make a way to keep the large bookcase.

If Becky doesn't have room in her new place for the sentimental bookcase, it would be perfect in your bedroom on the right when you walk in. This would be perfect for placing items that are usually put on the floor in your room.

It's crazy how when we live in a big home everything just keeps fitting in it until the move to a smaller home and we don't even realize how much extra stuff we had that was of no use or forgotten until the declutter/move and when we let go those things our mind and home feels so much free and lighter Me and my family had to move to a smaller home 3 years back and when we saw the amount of unused/forgotten/old stuff our minds blew and we were just so much happy to let go of all those things and if we had decided to keep those we needed atleast 2 big rooms just to store them Hats off to you for letting of the things and clearing your mind and home for so much good things to come your way

Love the new place! Congratulations! Please keep your mom’s green piece of furniture. You need height in some pieces. Also , the bookcase just decluttered could replace your dresser. Use bins for clothes and add books and memorabilia. Smaller bed , try to downsize fast furniture bins. Your plant collection is gorgeous and nice art to fill your walls. Make a mood board online and stay true to your dream. The backyard is magical! This is such an exciting time in your life. Purge, purge , purge.

That backyard space is one of the best I have seen. Incredible.

Another huge challenge for you and one of your besties…it can make or break a friendship. You have the knack of bringing the best in people and I’m impressed with how much has been declutterred already. Can’t wait to see the next ep. ❤❤❤

Girl, you are moving into heaven. You don't need to take anything with you but your good memories. ❤

I’ve moved 6 times in 12 years. Before that, made two cross country moves. It isn’t difficult once you realize you have too much stuff that you don’t need to be happy.

This is inspiring.. I am maximalist..Last week I went somewhere.. Oh my goodness every single flight ticket pamphlet I take..

Two years ago we moved from a large 5 bed with a double garage to a very small one bed cottage - best thing we ever did, and we got rid of sooo many belongings in the process

Hello, ask if she could have a little shed in the garden, that might help. i live in a tiny ex hotel unit, 2 windows and one entry/exit door. my suggestions, use suitcases as storage, when on holidays those items can sit on the bed and use suitcase. go up, use tall storage items. i am short and still do that (5ft) and have a little ladder. my bed is one that lifts up the mattress and store items underneath. it is amazing how much you can store under there. have boundaries once set up, such as this box is only for candles once the candles escape the box, you have to declutter some. i love buying things 2nd hand and i find boundaries is the best method especially for books! i think she could use the green item (Mums thing) for so many ideas, maybe a kitchen/pantry/office storage, or shove in the wardrobe as use for clothes. think outside the square. all the very best 🙂

The new place is just adorable... love love love it❤. Those high ceilings *chefs kiss*.

I'm excited for you! the new place is so cute. No storage unit please!!! But try to find a way to use the green cabinet. It's a keeper. Maybe in the bathroom or bedroom even.

Congratulations Becky! This is a great new beginning for you. It’s so rewarding to declutter and start fresh.

Would the green furniture not fit in the bedroom on the other side of the door? I think the furniture can be worked into the new space, especially as it is a loved piece.

I hope she keeps the green cabinet, you girls did good 👍

I wonder if she could make the front room an office/dining area and her bedroom more of a living room w/ a fancy daybed that turns from twin to king. She did say she was probably getting a new bed... I think she'd be able to keep more of her wants. 😊

So glad she's not getting the Storage Unit...I think paying for storage unit is such a waste of money - as it's a place used to avoid decision making...unless you know you will be moving into a larger space in the NEAR future & the storage space is simply to hold those things you will be putting in the larger space!
