Your passion for your collectables is so lovely to see. Decluttering isn't about minimalism, it should make space for the things that are truly loved and that stir creativity and a sense of fulfilment, and you've shown so well how that can be achieved, no matter how long it may take. I like the blue and gold teapot 🫖

Beautiful. My grandmother had a beautiful breakfront, however, her daughter destroyed it after my grandma passed. My aunt was a hoarder including animal hoarding. When she passed, she had 2 houses full of unsalvagable things. Your home is beautiful. I know minimalism is trending, and some have even made a "gospel" out of it. As long as our "stuff" doesn’t own us, it is a pleasure to enjoy if that's our "thing."

I want to say that I LOVE the personality that you put in your house with the different colors and with the furniture and stuff you like and love. You sound always so proud and content when you speak about your house. And you are completely right about that. I love your style. Your jewellery is beautiful. Off topic, but I want to say that.

It looks great. My mother had her China and Crystal displayed in several china cabinets in the dining room. I am the 2nd youngest of 9 children and was a teenager when my parents died, so I have very little of it and what I do have has been packed away for almost 50 years. I have a more casual style and am trying to declutter. I will let my neices and nephews have any they want, although I doubt if they or their children or grandchildren will want it.

Even though I'm not a collector like you I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your pleasure and your care for your precious things. My favourite part was when you were washing and drying the crystal glasses - it felt like I was beholding something sacred and spiritual. Just beautiful to see how you cherish what is dear to you whether that be your family or your home or your collections. Thanks for sharing.

Since I no longer entertain and my adult children don't want to bother with formal dinnerware, I sold 8 of the place settings last summer to a couple who drove from Phoenix AZ to Southern California to pick them up in person. I kept 3 sets for myself and would LOVE to showcase them as you have done. Thank you for the inspiration.

Can I just say, thank you my kindred spirit! My collected/found treasures along with the few precious pieces that I have from my Mother and Nonna are displayed in glass-front antique cabinets also. Watching this video made my heart sing! I believe a home should surround you with a big 'hug' from all those that are still with you, and those that came before you. There is something safe and secure to a child that has a mother that creates this (no matter how old that child is). No matter if it's just a little display in a corner or multiple pieces of furniture, it all creates the magic and nostalgia of home❤.

This was such a lovely video. I've been sick all week and it was so nice to relax and watch you "play" with all your pretties. The breakfront is gorgeous. Thanks for the tips on the acrylic display pieces. I have become fairly ruthless with my pieces--I have limited display room and if I wanted to continue to add I had to become more focused with what I allowed in as to pattern and/or color. Luckily for me two of my daughters also love vintage/antique pieces, so I have been able to pack away things they love for their future homes and returned the rest to "the wild" for someone else to find and love.
