@robinholbrook6576 2 года назад

I even see it in brochures of homes for sale! Lid up! Can’t stand it! Our first home was 30 years old when we bought it. Went in to one of the bathrooms one time and there was something in there. Long story short: a rat had evidently gotten into the air pipe on the roof and fallen down and gotten into the toilet. The lid was down and it couldn’t get out. (Thank heavens!) If the lid had been up…who knows? I’ve heard of snakes coming up from toilets, too, especially in the south. And, of course, we drop things into the potty! Lol I won’t buy a house if you walk in and come face to face with a bathroom! 🥴

@ealston0826 9 месяцев назад

I iron my sheets, always have since a little girl. To me is my me time, the time when I zone out, and don't answer to anybody. I don't mind it because I am doing something for me. When you like something, you find the time, and don't see it as a chore. I am an only child, primary caregiver to elderly parents both with cancer and a dog.

I make my bed with clean sheets straight out the dryer. I hate when you go somewhere and the hand towels look nice but they have a funky stale laundry smell. Don't let your clothes sit in the washer for hours or days, do laundry when you can get them out of the washer immediately! Then fold or hang them immediately out of the dryer so there's no wrinkles. Don't shove them in a basket to fold later, they look so messy!! Wash all new bedding, blankets, towels and clothes before you use them! You never know who touched them or tried them on.

@diana6842 2 года назад

One of the best homemaking tips ever given to me was my mil who told me when it comes to taking clothes from the dryer - make it a rule to never handle them twice because that's twice the work. Fold and put away immediately. Don't toss them in a basket or on a table for later. From time to time, I get tempted to toss a load of towels on the dining room table and get back to them later - then I hear her words - never handle them twice - that's twice the work.

We always had the rule of no food or drinks outside of the kitchen, for our children & then our grandchildren. Also nothing inside the car but water. Never had a problem, never had any complaints about it, never had food/drink stains on rugs or furniture, & car interior was always nice & clean. It's weird to me that most parents today excuse their filthy, sticky cars & furniture/carpet with "I have kids!", & if you suggest limiting food & drinks to the kitchen they get really angry & offended.

The stickers and the electric cord "instructions" -- how are people that tolerant? That said Ironed sheets are so great. If you aren't feeling the ironed sheets I recommend starting with ironing the pillowcases and the top half of the top sheet. One you get how lovely it is you'll start ironing the whole set. The sheets can really be ironed folded over and maybe iron only the top of the duvet cover. Find little ways to make it easier. I actually love ironing which is pretty twisted I guess but it's so satisfying and ironing smooth cotton is a cheap thrill. Love a fresh bed, worth the effort!!!

There are two more things to add to the list, Kleenex boxes on the back of the toilet or in the counters. Just find a nice ceramic container or anything better than the box to transfer the Kleenex into. The other one is outlet covers. What is it when the space is beautifully painted or wallpapered and the outlet is a blaring white. Paint them people! And when ever possible change out the outlet and/or light switch to compliment. There are so many choices that will finish your space to that upper level of beauty. These elements are the jewelry to a space. My biggest gripe is I see so many professional interior designers ignore this small detail.

No, I do not iron sheets anymore … I am a retired nurse who has become disabled after cancer: it weakened my bones, and I have had several breaks so I am simply no longer as strong. However, I am particular about not leaving my sheets in the dryer and folding them a certain way. I’m going to try and use more of your tips. PLEASE- donate old towels to your local humane society… they are always in need!

I really liked this video bc I was guilty of several of those things you listed and now I'm not! I agree with the small things matter and can make all the difference. I recently upgraded all my soap dispensers and love them! Going shopping today to upgrade my Fall throws in my living room. One more thing worth mentioning, remember to clean around your doorknob on the front door, inside and out! Nothing worse than a dirty front door!

Yay! Valentina! I need to share this video with my grown kids….I have upheld 90% of these suggestions in my home since…well, forever. My kids thought I was overboard. So simple and easy to put things in their place, and keep simple tidiness procedures. Love this video. (With the exception of ironing sheets…never made time for that 🤦‍♀️…but, love the look)

This is one of my favorite videos. Now I have to go cut some tags and remove stickers. 😉

Thank you for the tips for a more beautiful and gracious home. Some of didn't have the type of home were we were taught things like this. Every one of your videos exposes us to things we never knew. Keep doing what you are doing and ignore the negativity. We appreciate you.

Totally agree with ironing bedding. It’s a whole other level of sleep! I’ve just started using my steamer which is way faster and much more convenient. If I can’t get to it I at a minimum do the pillow cases and top 3rd of the flat sheet.

@karenhollywood3523 2 года назад

Ohhhh thank you for addressing all the tags and stickers . This has ALWAYS been my pet peeve and always remove all completely as soon as I get home with them. Always have. Love your channel!

I’m from Ukraine and we ALWAYS ironed bed linens! I was in shock when I saw that some people in North America come to work in absolutely wrinkled clothes! There’s nothing like ironed starched bed linens! ❤ LOVE all your videos and your energy! 👍❤

My Diva you are 1000% spot on. Everything you mentioned is available and accessible. How awesome to walk into a tidy well arranged home. It makes people want to live and enjoy home life. Thanks so much.🌺🌺🌺👍👍

Yes!! This is so funny. My mom is 92 and she has always wished there was a place to put her microwave. In her old home she had a large enough back room to have it on the way out to the garage. Anyways another pet peeve is paper towel sitting out. Dishes on a dish rack..make up not in a pretty basket to hide it. Always had her dishes dried right away...and her dish soap put away. She is picky what people may call her.. but I know it looked better. Another big one hanging up sheets or drapes out of the package..all the fold marks hanging up. Most young people do not own an iron..which is just sad...it makes everything look so much better. You appear polished. I say young people because I'm in my 50s and not one of my kids iron their clothes and I ironed everything when they was growing up. Even my pajammas. All their clothes ..everything.

@lisalang7096 2 года назад

So true! I feel I’m always ironing - especially cotton summer clothes this time of year - shorts, tees, tank tops, etc. I recently asked my daughter-in-law if she has a laundering secret because she NEVER seems to iron anything. Even if I dry clothes using delicate cycle & remove right away, the items seem to need a quick ironing once over. Btw, she did tell me she sends my son’s dress shirts to the dry cleaners for laundering.

@carolhether 2 года назад

I don’t know how young people don’t use an iron any more either. We have 4 kids that only iron if absolutely necessary, and I used to iron their play clothes, lol! I won’t leave the house looking wrinkled, and will pick a cruise line with laundry facilities over one without so that I can iron.......obsessive.......maybe a little, lol!

I just built a new home, and I decided not to put my magnet collection on the fridge. So many memories, though! So, I put them on the door going in from the garage. It's metal, and I love seeing them as I go in.

@maryselstead7554 2 года назад

Me too!

@Sharon-pb7so 2 года назад

That's where mine are too! Besides magnets won't stick to the stainless steel, it will stick if you use the side of the fridge, which I can't do because it's got cabinetry around it. The back door is perfect.

@Karen-jp1ns 2 года назад

@hisdarlingewelamb 2 года назад

Agree agree!! I too remove or hide all stickers, keep my fridge clear, replace my dish cloth and towels when starting to wear, refill my hand soap dispensers, and corral my limited clutter in various wooden boxes, baskets, jars etc so my surfaces are clear and peaceful. Yes, homemaking, it’s an art and a beautiful way to live! Thanks for sharing Valentina!

Faux fur blankets are my daughter’s favorite but she also loves to use the fleece blankets with cute pictures or characters. I like to change my hand towels and kitchen towels everyday so it’s clean and basically paper towels are only for grease messes so I can throw away.
