What a great person to allow us to watch. Her anxiety must have been all time high! Thank you to her!!

@Clutterbug 2 года назад

Yes, thank you Kelly!

@psymompa 2 года назад

These are my favorite kind of videos. please keep them coming. I'm glad she gave herself permission to toss the old food. I usually beat myself up with food that I have let go to waste. I hope she is able to keep the new space up. Less is definitely more ❤

I love it when you help people in their own homes! It’s so relatable. The entertaining section, snack section, pantry, and drop zone were all brilliant solutions.

Amazing transformation Cass, and so brave of her to open her closed doors for all to see! All this organizing made me think of how I wish designers would build more "batwing" pantries into homes. They're really the most usable and efficient way to store things and there's no wasted space between the shelves and the door as in traditional closet-type pantries. Everything is easy to get to and the shelves are shallow so nothing gets shoved behind anything else. They need to throw out the old ways and make things better for all of us! 😀

@kathywidenhouse2881 2 года назад

Love the labels. Clear containers and erasable marker work in a pinch.

@Awesomefulninja 2 года назад

Shallow shelves really are fantastic. I miss the pantry in my old house. It was a walk-in pantry that had loads of shelves that were only about the length of say a box of cereal or whatever but not so deep you end up with layers and layers of who-knows-what. Organising was SO easy in there.

@konablu Год назад

I have two places in our home that need decluttering, removal of boxes,(mostly empty ones) and some dead appliances. The garage and living/dining area. I have tackled a few drawers in the kitchen. Then, a few days before Christmas I removed our bins for baking from the cabinets. I made a big mess while I threw out a few expired items, and put the cupcake stuff into a large dish tub. Then had to put it into the pantry. Now all our cookie and cake mix boxes are lined up on one shelf in cupboard. It is a beautiful thing to see. We are so blessed. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Cass.

Props to Kelly for sharing her journey! Now she can enjoy her kitchen and cook for her family stress free. My biggest struggle is paper clutter. I pile it in my room. I’m working on decluttering the paper and I have a filing system that will work for me. The challenge is to not fall back I to bad habits once I finish the process of letting go and organizing it!

@Clutterbug 2 года назад

You can do it!

@nancyellen8006 2 года назад

I feel your pain with paper clutter!

@darleneh608 2 года назад

I was the same. Between papers and books, I was drowning in the stuff. I did an extreme declutter, getting rid entirely of papers that were only there because I might want to look at these again someday. Then I decided, of the important papers, which ones actually needed to be kept as paper and which could be scanned and then tossed/shredded. my three big filing cabinets are now one small fireproof filing box. And it has room to spare. As for books, went with digital for most of the keepers, too. Your mileage may vary. We did an extreme downsizing because we went from about 3000 square feet to about 600 square feet, and moved more than 1000 miles away. Our little apartment is calm, organized, and has plenty of breathing room in all the closets and cupboards. I'm so glad we downsized this much.

The basement. I have been cleaning, purging and organizing my basement for decades. It never gets any better.

@samanthab3292 2 года назад

One of the best things I did was recycle all our old Tupperware, and buy one new set. We went with glass as well. Now there's only the few containers with their lid that fits in the cupboard. If we're out of containers, we need to clean out the fridge.

@alexandrastevens8892 2 года назад

This is soo true, I'm a lady bug but I'm there with you on the declutterung and I have a much less busy house. Because I live in the UK the majority of us have tiny homes and no large pastries so I have an under stairs cupboard, this is the one I need to empty and reorganise again, it's not as bad as it was but it's still there with the excess stuff.

@jenmarsh6729 2 года назад

Hi Cas! I 100% relate to this post. I am currently in the process of packing up to move. I thought it would have been relatively easy but both my husband and I keep finding more to purge. At least once a week for 3 months we are making a drop off to donate. I’m overwhelmed by the idea of establishing a new home with the same bad habits. I have a feeling that it will take months more of purging when I finally move to our new home. Thanks for always keeping it “real.”

@antonym4u910 2 года назад

Bibbity Bobbity boo! Cas, you’re pure magic! I’ve been struggling again lately - you and Kelly inspire me! Thank you Kelly. (PS: I’m a Kelly too - Kelly means ‘strength’ - thank you for being strong and sharing with us all! You are awesome!) Yay! It’s all so beautiful!

@RTAV108 Год назад

Wow!! What a transformation! I hope all your clients maintain the customised system you bring to their space so painstakingly as well as passionately and adhere to the rules in order to not go back to old ways. In addition to your brilliant tips to organise, I guess you need to speak also about how important it is not to be a compulsive buyer and be minimal so as not to land up in such situation just months down the line.

The garage is my hidden, scary wreck! 😭 I have decluttered and organized every other space in my home but I keep putting off and procrastinating starting the garage because it's SO intimidating. Seven years of dumping things in there!

@kpercy9952 2 года назад

My garage is my nemesis. But I can tell you after working on it many times, every time it gets out of control I dread it and say oh geez I don't want to conquer the garage and the most it has ever taken me was 3 hours. After the first big declutter, getting it "reset" usually takes me 1-2 hours even after say a big camping trip or Christmas. Maybe just tell yourself you'll do one hour only and start in one corner. You've got this!

@kpercy9952 2 года назад

Or another suggestion, just start zoning first time out (stuff things in different areas based on category) then declutter/sort/organize one category a weekend or something. If it helps at all, my zones are: Garden/garden supplies, pantry items (TP, paper towels, etc), Entertaining stuff, Christmas, Camping, Other holiday decor, Cleaning products

Really interesting for me as the opposite bug: A bee. I appreciated all the decluttering and organising, but found myself thinking how extremely annoying it would be to have everything behind closed doors: I would never be able to remember where anything was. And those broad categories, not detailed enough. If I ever doubted that I was a bee, I certainly don't now.

@GinaSue64 2 года назад

We downsized after clearing out our 3,000 square-foot house, and my parents' 1,500 square-foot house -- and then moved into the smaller one. OY. Still trying to wrap our heads around organizing a MUCH smaller kitchen, only ONE bathroom, and an unfinished basement and semi-finished attic space. My spot right now? Three. Attic, Basement (major basement, because I can avoid it easiest!), and the utility room closet (which I hesitate to organize because we're going to remodel that room - eventually). Right now when company is coming, I stuff everything in there. And yes, I"m a straight-up Ladybug, too! You are an inspiration!
