Hi Lovelies! It's me, Simply Cherie, helping you make home and entertaining simple.
Today I am starting a new series - The
Minimalist Game. Now I know that this has
been out there for a while, but I
recently saw a video pop up on my
YouTube feed and I thought how fun would
that be. So I asked my daughter if she
wanted to join. So we're going to be doing
this together. Today we are going to do
days 1 to 10. So make sure to hit that
subscribe button so you won't miss a
video in this series. I also do other
cleaning and decluttering and organizing
videos so make sure to check out my
channel. And let's get started with days
one to 10 all right day one is a big one
it is a Christmas tree I think it is 7
feet and I got it about 10 years ago so
we've been using at this day 53 I
actually bought it for $50 Craigslist so
it has been well used well-loved and
frankly I am tired of causing a huge
Christmas tree in my garage to just use
it once a year we don't know what we're
gonna do next year but might be a real
tree it might be an artificial one not
sure or maybe we won't do one at all so
here is day one a lovely Christmas tree
day 2 are these two items now this was
given to me by a friend she's kind of
like a set designer and I've had that
for 15 years that was free I put plants
on it I've even put a lamp on it
different stuff to decorate a room this
is also kind of like a plant stand I got
that from a friend from a garage sale I
think two dollars for about five years
so you can see these items have been
well used also well loved they are no
longer the style that I prefer plus I'm
trying to keep my decor in the rooms as
minimal as possible it's not the
minimalist decor but I just don't want
to add more tchotchkes in the room so
this will be going and hopefully someone
who loves this type of design will
appreciate them as I've been showing you
these items I'm putting them directly
into my car and they are going to
Goodwill today day three are these
pillows they used to be on the outdoor
patio sets but I had changed out those
pillows I think two years ago and I kept
these thinking if I find a cover I can
reuse them but I haven't been able to
and I no longer need the pillows anyway
because I've lessened the number of
pillows I have in my house altogether so
these are going day four are these four
Magnolia branches and I had gotten at
Hobby Lobby thinking that I love the
farmhouse decor but I realize I really
don't I like some of it and so I've had
this for a year thinking I'm going to
reuse it make it into a wreath something
like that but I haven't and again the
same thing that I am just trying to not
have as much decor in my home so these
are going day five aren't some random
things from my daughter like these socks
that she loved but they no longer fit
this bracelet this bow and arrow
probably from a gift someone gave her
when she was bought five some leggings
and this is four speakers that we no
longer use
day6 moving right along these are cups
that I won that I've never used that's
been a year old and this baking pan that
I didn't want to use anymore I had some
of the saute pans and frying pans and
they do not work very well for me so I'm
getting rid of that I've had that I
haven't used that probably in six months
and this cover I'm no longer using
because I no longer have that laptop
these are coasters that I've never used
these clothespins that I don't use
anymore and this silk orchid that I got
I think 14 years ago from Ross it's been
well
and I have loved it I'm letting it go
because it does not match the decor that
I want anymore
and plus like I said earlier I'm just
minimizing the stuff that I'm putting in
a room so those are the six items for
day 6 day 7 are random bags and
containers that I no longer use day 8
are these eye cables I got from a friend
for free I think she actually gave me 32
I've already given 8 to a group of guys
who live in a household together and
these 8 will be going I have another 8
that I'll be giving to my son then he
moves to a new place in college and then
I'll just be keeping the other 8 for
different parties and events that I have
alright on to day 9 this I think was a
pop-up container from Ikea
my daughter had that since she was a
toddler she is now a teen so go figure
she doesn't need it anymore these are
from the dollar store
they were used but I don't need them
anymore because I've decluttered I don't
need a lot of storage or containers
these were also from the dollar store I
use them for parties and events but I
don't like the aesthetic so gonna let
that go and then about three years ago I
got into silver so I found these at the
thrift store I am no longer into silver
is especially it's been hard to upkeep I
mean I have to polish these all the time
so they are going back to the thrift
store so that's one of the things as far
as decluttering and letting go is
there's things that I used to be into or
I collected that I no longer want to
collect it needs to get out of the house
and nothing coming back in here it is
day ten dollar store containers these
used to be filled that is how much I've
decluttered if you want to see my one
thousand islands declutter series I'll
put it in the I cards above this one I
think was from the dollar sparked at
Target but these have been used we no
longer need them because we no longer
have the stuff to put in them so those
were days one to ten
