Less and Better – Before and After Decluttering Photos

At the end of 2020, I told you all about Take Your House Back, the course I created with Dawn from The Minimal Mom, and Cas from Clutterbug. (Cas is the star of Hot Mess House on HGTV!)

Registration is open again!

I knew we had something special, and I was excited to share it last year. I’m even MORE excited now! I knew people were making huge progress in their homes as they worked through the course, but when they responded to our call for testimonials with their before and after photos, I was full on giddy.

People are quite literally taking their houses back! I absolutely love seeing people’s amazing progress and the results of their hard work. I’ll be sharing lots of before and after photos and stories over the next week or so to inspire you and to help you decide if now might be a good time to jump in on the course if you missed it last time.

You have access for a year (and then can renew after that year for a small fee), and you can do it all at your own pace. If summer left you out of the routine, this might be the perfect time for you to jump in. I truly believe it’s worth every penny.

Go check out Take Your House Back. 

Here’s a story (with before and after photos) from one of the course members:

Hi Dana,

I would just like to thank you, Dawn, and Cas for taking the time to make this course! The concepts I’ve learned in this course have helped me make a huge wonderful difference in my home!

It’s hard to believe what a difference a mindshift can make in your life…but then you see proof!! Less and Better!!

It’s great to be a part of a group that understands, and supports everyone when they are struggling! I’m making slower progress than some others in the group and that’s ok because I’m learning the tools to enable me to go through my house and get it under control.

Dana’s help with Clutter Threshold, Container Concept, Visible Spaces, and Look for Trash have all helped me think differently about our stuff and to make progress I never thought was possible!!!

Like I said, I still have a ways to go, but feel completely capable of doing it, whereas before I had no idea what was wrong with me and why nothing had worked for me before.

I’m also taking some time to put some of Cas’s Clutterbug organization tips for Bees into action at my house as I get areas under control. So far I’m just using things that I have around my house to give it a try as they suggest (so I don’t go out and get more stuff that might not work for me.) Once I figure out the things I need to help me maintain the area, then I’ll get whatever I need!

Dawn inspires me to have less stuff! She really does feel like an encouraging friend through all of this. Keeping stuff “just in case” I might need it has caused me to have rooms in my house that I never used in the 4 years we lived there, and I don’t want to live like that anymore!

Thank you again to all 3 ladies for taking the time to make this course, answering questions we have and for all the kindness and support you give to us all through videos and the Facebook group!! Here are a few pictures just to show the improvements! Hard to believe I’ve finally found help!!

    These pictures and the post brought tears to my eyes. Yes, it’s very true that we are all making progress at different rates. I have to keep telling myself, especially on days when I have a bad case of “I don’t wanna,” that 5 minutes can make a difference in both the physical look of the space, and the mental outlook of ME. Remind myself it’s not a race. When I look around and don’t have a clue what to do next, well, NOW I have good friends to help and good tools to use. So grateful for Dana, Dawn, Cas, and others too…
    Big virtual hugs of encouragement and thankfulness to the person who sent the photos and described her journey. Have a blessed day!

    This course is definitely worth the INVESTMENT in your home, and your sanity. Being a part of the Facebook group allows you to share your accomplishments, ask for suggestions and advice, and encourage others when they hit their own challenges. I started out as a Dana K. White fan and advocate, from her books, and Cas and Dawn are the perfect compliment. This trio is amazing!

    Yes!!! I love this course, too! I’ve followed all three of them for years, but bringing their energy and know-how together finally helped things click for me. Dana convinced me to do my dishes, but this course helped me to really declutter (almost) my whole house, and it feels SO amazing!!

    PS: I’ve been using Dana’s book Decluttering at the Speed of Life to help me work through my piles of procrasticlutter. This book is a great hard-copy supplement to the course. 💗

    I started the course in January on a whim and the NewYears resolution thing. I didn’t expect the LIFE CHANGING results I got! I wasn’t drowning in clutter (so I thought) but I had WAY too much stuff and my life was wasted finding stuff I needed and chasing messes that clutter generates. I have gotten rid of at least 50 percent of my belongings and I am still going! Every room I walk into in my house is better. I found out my organizing style and now I don’t spend hours searching for things…I can find things easily. I recommend this course and it is worth ten times the price…..actually it is PRICELESS! I have a joyful, peaceful home now!

    I jumped on the course as soon as I heard about it and started in January with the first intake. I’ve followed Dana for years and have made lots of progress but this course was the push I needed when all my energy was gone and my frustration was high. I’ve made massive progress and can now count some rooms as in “maintenance mode” and others as “so close to maintenance mode I can smell it!” I’ve learned not only my organising style but that of my kids which makes a whole lot of things make sense. Why can’t they just put their toothbrushes away and rubbish in the bin? Because I wasn’t organising for the way their brains work, I was organising for mine. I’ve learned the strategies I need to not only get rid of the excess but to get everyone in my house to keep it clean. Do I still have work to do? Hell yes. Do I know what I need to do now? Also yes.

    Dana, you are amazing. Sadly, after the Canadian / US exchange rate, the course is over a full day if take home pay for me… and I earn more than the Canadian average. If it’s a stretch in the US, it’s completely unaffordable north of the border. (Ill absolutely buy your next book though!)

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
