Swedish Cabin Tour: speed declutter tips from our tiny, cozy haven! 🇸🇪🏡

Welcome to our Swedish summer house it's just starting to rain so let's get inside and let's do a quick declutter Dian in Sweden here ra something a bit different today an impromptu visit to our Swedish uh cabin our our weekend cabin and the the reason I'm here is I had to kind of leave uh Denmark in a hurry there was a a house fire one of our neighbors everybody's okay but there was quite a lot of damage and the surrounding houses had some smoke damage and I'm here just to check on our cabins where we have a wooden house and it was a miracle that nothing happened to to our place anyway I thought I would take the opportunity to show you our cabin and do a spot of decluttering so if you're ready to get started let's go so if you're doing the fly lady system with me it is fly lady zone five by the time I'm putting out this uh this video and up here it's a very quaint Swedish system of having things on a shelf above the window Ledges so let me just take a we look and if you're subscribed to my channel which I hope you will you will know that I don't hang on to books and I get most of my books from the liary uh or read ebooks uh the only collection I have is this one which is the Andrea cameri The Mont Albano books so those can stay and I've also got an AA Christy one which I sometimes delve into when we're here the whiskey Galore is a favorite favorite one of mine that gets to stay but some of these videos oh hold on I'm going to check with the kids because most of these I think can probably be decluttered now keep this one because that that's great because we use this uh place in the winter and it's always fun to put that one on the TV and a classic Father Brown I keep that one sometimes I I watch that one and over here we have hubby's books and some of the kids books uh and I don't decluster other people's stuff I can screenshot that to them and see which ones they want to keep but I'm pretty sure some of these DVDs can go immediately I can see this one madman never watched it and some of them are still packed in so those I'm going to take immediately those can go to our local charity shop and this is an essential item at the summer house it's a fly swater cuz the mosquitoes are huge this year anyway here's what I've decided these ones are staying these DVDs are staying I do like Jason stateum and his rules and his routines and the yones and the Beck and this one I've never I still want to watch that one but all these H can go there we go let me see how many is that plus of course the um the box set woohoo and what else can you declutter in your living room or In Your Den do you have some uh kids games maybe you want to sort through those newspapers magazines if you're not going to read them by the end of the week they can go into the recycling and we keep our games and toys and things we keep those here in the dining room but I went through those recently and I only keep the ones that we really play a lot um my son often uses the summer house with friends so they will occasionally play things and we've got cards always got um deck of cards available and of course the Lego I'm not decluttering that and do you have a favorite game that you play when you're on vacation we always play Ry cub and we we even take it on vacation with us but we've got one here at the summerh house and one in Denmark and I was just thinking I need to put this uh rug in the wash so let me show you our bathroom and the smallest washing machine in the world so here we are small but uh it's practical and behind here have our little washing machine little tiny washing machine how quaint is that and I do actually have one other thing that I'm going to declutter and I was wearing an old swimsuit this morning after I had my run here's our pegs and whatever and this one I wore it for the last time and the elastic has just kind of gone in it so so that actually can just go straight in the bin all right and let's see what we can find to declutter this is our little bedroom says s got that means sweet dreams sleep well in Swedish just got the windows open for a bit of air here we are and I thought I'm not going to uh show you all all of my draw all of my drawers here but in the top I've got kind of underwear and stuff and it's the usual thing like back home I've got um swimwear uh running gear pajamas at the bottom there but I thought there's maybe some makeup that I can go through I keep some extra makeup here so I'm not taking things backwards and forwards so let me just take this over here right let's take a away look uh eyes shadows and black washer I'll keep that and I've got various uh things like you know Foundation but I've got all I've got all these brushes naturally I mainly use my fingers to put my foundation on I just kind of put foundation here and on my nose so let's take a look at those and I'm thinking this one can probably just go straight in the bin this one I'll keep and one of the um I don't know what you call those kind of angled brushes but the the other two I'll uh I'll wash those up and those can go to our next swap party lipsticks I keep kind of odds and ends of of lipsticks you know if I've just got a little bit left I keep it here at the summer house case in point but I can use up the last of that that's one of my favorite ones it's a Clinique poppy poppy pop I've bought this I've bought this several times I don't look at my fingers cuz I've been doing a spot of gardening as I've been here and I've been in and out of the sea uh the orangey one that can actually go I'm just going to put that straight in the uh recycling plastic recycling and the other ones I shall keep oh this one see there's hardly any left but I do use them here this is another of my favorites tropical pink cuz it's a kind of pink py blue actually I should let me put that on don't don't know if I forgot to put in my lipstick earlier before I started filming it's been a bit of a weird uh 24 hours a bit stressful and this one also a favorite one called I think it's called shocking Coral use that one a lot right so a couple of items and remember we're not doing huge declutters but just constantly going through the zones it really focuses in on things what are we using what are we not using so this can go back in the drawer and when I was getting dressed this morning I had a run and then I went down to the Sea for a dip and then I had my morning coffee uh when I was getting dressed I found an old um toilet bag that seemed better days that um I'm I'm not even going to try and recycle it that's just going to go into the bin I've got a belt that I never use so that can also be passed on oh can you hear the rain now ah very calming and also some um some odd uh odds and ends at socks and a pair of tis that will never use but the uh the socks I can use those for cleaning so those are going to go straight into my little cleaning caddy right and then let's have a we look in the kitchen do you want to see the kitchen it's tiny here but it's very quaint right and this is our little kitchen not much happening in here today but a little fun fact for you in our local Swedish Supermarket they have a lot of Motorhead products Motorhead uh chips crisp Motorhead beer sausage and also in the local alcohol shop know that it's regulated by state here so you can't buy alcohol in in a supermarket or you've got to go to a special state run shop anyway the state run shop they even have uh Motorhead shiras and uh We've drunk all the all the Mad wine but I'm actually I'm going to flatten this and take it with me when I go to Scotland soon cuz my my brother uh likes motorheads and I know he's going to enjoy those things and I don't think I'm going to find anything to declutter today but I did do a big declutter of this area a few weeks back I I'll put the footage here and we had a a top cupboard where we had lots of um Crockery and things that belonged to the previous owners of the house we bought this house Lock Stock and Barrel from them and I I realized there were just so many things we were never going to use we have our own um Crockery that came from my dearly departed Danish father-in-law the the Swedish uh RAR strand which fits very well here uh and I'm doing my best at the moment to label everything because we do have uh friends and family that use the summer house so I'm in the process of labeling here's all water glasses here's all the wine glasses including ones that we got for our wedding see if we can see that aren't they pretty but those do not go in the dishwasher don't put your crystal in the dishwasher and I've just tried to make it easy for anybody who's staying here that when they've used something which cupboard it goes into and hopefully find everything easily right as I said I hope I'm not making you seasick with the filming but we're we're doing our best in a difficult situation and I've got one more thing to show you I'll just show you in our dining room room this is where we keep ab and I's uh old um CDs we still play them and it's really funny because when my son and his friends borrow the summerhouse they think we've got pretty cool taste in music you can have a look there we go anyway I've got one other thing to show you which I'm going to put into my bag to take to the charity shop because I will pass that on the way back to our home in Copenhagen and what are you finding to declutter let me know in a comment the the charity shop they're always looking for coat hangers and I've got quite a lot of just uh plastic ones that have been in the guest cabins here I've replaced those with some wooden hangers that we had at the vean house in Copenhagen and I've also got some colored ones so all of those are going bag I'm going to blow out the candles check the lights lock up and maybe also you want to check this week your smoke alarms fire extinguishers very important anyway hope I've inspired you today next time I see you I will be back in Copenhagen as usual and all I've got left to say is live long and prosper May the Swedish summerhouse decluttering be with you and I'll see you very soon with a KN hey do
