I LOVE this style of organization makeover. It feels like there's SO much pressure to make everything "Pinterest worthy" and that's not often how life really looks!

@moniqueforrester674 6 лет назад

I really like that this isn't a "Pinterest worthy" makeover. Makes me feel like a nice functional space is within my reach.

@louiserucker5805 6 лет назад

I love what you do. I love your bubbley personality. God BLESS!

@julialong743 5 лет назад

agreed i really don't find pinterest worthy organizing helpful in the long term

Excellent Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (do a search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for decluttering your home without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got astronomical results with it.

@Hazel_Fox22 4 года назад

Late to the game here. Sorry 'bout that. I wonder why we all feel the need to have "Pinterest Worthy" homes. Real people have real lives and real messes so the kinds of systems Cas and the rest of us implement are the norm and should not be judged by studio set style pinterest photos. Like you said, Monique, we need functional spaces that are within our ability and financial situations. (That all being said, I've resisted and never made a pinterest account because I don't need another time suck that makes me feel that what I do and how I live isn't good enough....heehee)

@Megsother28 6 лет назад

Please thank whichever family member allowed you into their home for this. I know I’d be embarrassed bc it wasn’t perfectly clean, but it helps SO many of us who need to see your plans in action in order to get ideas. Thank you, anonymous family member! 😬

@carlamariev 6 лет назад

Megsother28 agreed!!

@heatheryohe8874 6 лет назад

I agree it helps to see her in action 😊 gives me ideas on how to do my space. I wish she was near by so she could do my space

@amandacollins518 4 года назад

This kitchen is so much like my own.

@annamanion1627 4 года назад

My favorite was the container of strawberries.... That is sooo my house, only difference is the container would be empty and left for "somebody" to dispose

@KMWeir 4 года назад

You are so kind in how you speak of your clients. That has to make people who are embarrassed of their clutter feel so much better.

@whatwouldpicarddomakeitso2581 6 лет назад

Please tell them it was so appreciated that they shared their kitchen with us.also your hair looks so shiny and pretty Cass.

@MultiDragonfly17 6 лет назад

Cas, you are the only person I've seen actually look at what is and isn't working before getting started. You tailor the plan to the people, I love that. Now I understand why I need to SEE my stuff. Lol!

@vivianhudacek1556 2 года назад

I am amazed that you could do that entire kitchen in 3 hours, even with help from the resident. Wow!

@marylandgirl7358 6 лет назад

I'm loving all the "real" organizing videos, especially for butterflies.

@emosback65 6 лет назад

I love that you take into account what the family truly needs and their styles of organization

@cassierennoldson3185 6 лет назад

I love these videos. Helps me realise that I don't need a show home pintrest worthy 'look' as long as it's functional. I've been watching your videos for 7 months now & you have helped me get rid of so much clutter & tidy up my life. I used to be a hoarder. I have taken 25 boot loads to goodwill. Sold $1000 of stuff on sites & taken out 7 garbage bags of junk. In 7 months. I still have the master room, spare room, study, hall cupboards & the last sweep of the toy room to go! 🙂 thank you for changing my life, i feel less anxious & my surfaces are clutter free!

@deborahgate965 6 лет назад

cassie rennoldson I just wanted to tell u what an AMAZING job u r doing! Congratulations on all your progress so far! I'm also a recovering hoarder so I know what it's like. Cass has helped me so much too.

@cassierennoldson3185 6 лет назад

deborah gate after i had my second child & i was home on maternity i spent probably the first two months on the couch with a newborn that wouldn't sleep unless held lol. A lot of time to ponder happened. Once i had him settled into life, napping & sleeping, i looked for something to entertain me for the next 7 months until i returned to work. I remember hating cleaning & realised why. Because there's stuff everywhere! Moving stuff to clean was such a chore. I started going through cupboards & was like why do we have 3 kettles?! It's then i realised i had huge issues letting things go. So i wen through every room & got rid of 'easy' things to let go. & most recently i've tackled each room in more depth & been totally ruthless. Once i did one room (the kitchen) I actually enjoyed being in there & enjoyed cleaning it. My anxiety left in that room. A few months ago someone local lost everything in a house fire. So i contacted them & said i had essentials they were welcome to. I didn't want anything for it i just wanted it gone. Decluttering my life the last few months has been a huge relief on my mental health. I've changed the way i view items & no longer hoard things. Every day i declutter & think what can i get rid of rather than avoiding the junk everywhere. It's been amazing🙂

@matilda2 6 лет назад

Thank you home owner for keeping it real. Huge help for us butterflies

@madonnawayne4130 3 года назад

Very non-judgmental, busy as a bee, lovely, you give us hope that we can make changes. Keep it coming, you are the tops.

@mjsr1976 6 лет назад

Hi Cas, I love how "real" this kitchen is. Thank you for keeping it real.

@boxiebabe333 6 лет назад

Can't believe you were able to accomplish so much in just THREE hours! Good job!

@chatterboxcorner 6 лет назад

I love these kind of videos! Its like an episode of a tv show. Would love to see more organizing videos where you transform other peoples spaces!

@hunagirl6 4 года назад

"Train themselves to tidy as they go." Would love some tips on that!

@candicewaller403 6 лет назад

These kind of videos are my absolute favorite. I hope more of your clients let you film. Seeing an actual home that has real problem areas getting fixed is so much more helpful to me than seeing an already organized space. Do you ever do garages? That's my organizing problem area. It has to accommodate so many purposes: different kinds of storage, laundry, yard stuff, car stuff, outdoor fun stuff and tools. I've been trying to re-imagine it in zones, but I always get stuck.

@liannegoosens 6 лет назад

I would love to see more of these videos! Very inspiring and makes me want to plan an afternoon to do my own kitchen. I have so much respect for your family member to show her kitchen for the entire world to see. It actually encourages to see that we're not alone here. Good luck on your new channel!!

@KaysCreativeHome 6 лет назад

Absolutely incredible. We need a part 2 to show how you reorganized the rest of the cabinets. TFS.

@cristianerocha9835 6 лет назад

What a change! 3 hours ! You are a champ!!

@lisadearing5960 4 года назад

I recently transformed my broom closet into a second pantry. My mother in law recently moved in with us and she likes to buy canned goods! My husband added 8 new shelves and I still have a small area for my ironing board and Swiffer! Wish I would’ve done this years ago! What a great feeling!

@vernamyspencer2158 6 лет назад

This video was so helpful! I will watch it again before I help my mother-in-law, who is a butterfly, organize her kitchen early this summer when she's home again. Thanks so much for showing us how to go about this.

@elizb8421 3 года назад

You are AMAZING! Don’t beat yourself up, your one of the few You-tubers who is honest! Thank you😘👍👍🦋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😉

@lindad5037 6 лет назад

I just love watching you Cass! It is so refreshing to see real life videos that aren’t “Pinterest worthy”. Great job! Btw I love your personality, you are hilarious:)

@grannybekmakes 6 лет назад

You are literally one of the most real people on RU-vid, and I love you! I also love your "end" of the videos, real talk, real mom, real kid meltdowns, real wife, real life. Can't wait for your weight loss channel. Much love from Alabama❤️

@calico27 3 года назад

This is so relatable!! This is what my house looks like - constructed 100 yrs ago.. and a mess right now. Oh what I wouldn't give for Cas to come help me!!! Thank you for sharing this transformation. ❤

@ursulawoditsch4250 6 лет назад

You are the reason i clean my house now!!!!!!!! Sometimes i have to look your videos for one hour before i can start cleaning- sorry organizing. The word organizing is tue Clue dir me. I'm dooing the 30 days decluttering now . Thank you so much.

@kikisisi9410 6 лет назад

Thank you so much & please tell the homeowners how much we appreciate them letting us see their kitchen! It looked "real" & better than ours right now! How many people live there? We have 5 people who put things "down" & not "away". That is NOT a criticism or judgement - none of us have reached "perfection" to judge anyone! I think I'm living w/ "Butterflies" (not sure what I am - except paralyzed by clutter!). Gonna look for some more of your awesome videos to share w/my family. We need motivation & direction!

@LittleMissLovely86 6 лет назад

The after looks amazing. Even though it’s an older kitchen, it looks so much better when it’s organised. Looks great Cassie 👍

@janicebradford9780 6 лет назад

I love your Hollywood hair. You look very glamorous. I remembered you were going. My husband and I went to Vegas for our honeymoon. When we got home I had outgrown my clothes. I love prime rib and it was everywhere on the specials. We did a lot of sight seeing, the Hoover Damn and the Mountains. We missed the Grand Canyon because it rained for the first time in years while we were there and the helicopters weren’t flying people to the Canyon. You are a miracle worker. You had that house,straightened up in 3 hours. Are you sure you aren’t Wonder Woman. Love your videos. They keep me going and moving. Thanks Janice

@MsBonniBee 6 лет назад

Absolutely love these types of video's - please make more of them? It's interesting seeing 'real' space problems. The slim cupboard on the side converted to pantry shelves, it genius!

@auntiedoodles6898 3 года назад

My gosh! You are ADORABLE!!!! I loved your Vegas story!

@neweverymorningmercy3491 6 лет назад

I bet the family really appreciates the decluttering and new systems, I hope they are able to work them. You made such a difference. I had a problem area in my kitchen, years ago, it was a drop zone that shouldn't have been, things would pile up and look horrible. I cleaned it off and declared it a "no drop zone" and from that day forward (with the rare exception) it's stayed clear, kind of surprised me how well it worked, sometimes you just have to "declare" something.

@user-tb8fh3wl6i 5 лет назад

Thank for the tips! I would like to recommend “labeling” the edge of the shelves with a label maker or label decals. This has helped keep my cabinets organized over the years and works well for when I have guests over. Also, I have saved much time labeling lower cabinets (label on the bottom end of shelf) not edge. I no longer have to stoop down into each cabinet trying to find missing items because contents is labeled right there. This also works for the garage ,our family boat. I labeled the areas on the outside of some cabinets which helps for emergencies supplies like fire extinguishers etc. Other cabinets I label on the inside. This save time and helps keep everyone organized and they know where to find items and put back quickly and easily. Best to you all. I’m still trying like the rest but doing much better. 😎👍🏼

@terimaue4155 6 лет назад

You are awesome. Loved this kitchen makeover. Perfect, logical and not spendy and over the top! btw, stop saying you are old. I am 62, fun loving and I am not old! Well, that is what I tell myself! Going on a European River Cruse in a couole of months. I don't drink much, but I still have fun!

@kevinhernandezgarcia6538 2 года назад

Your idea of bins and butterflies helped me identify how I could help my bf organize and sort his family car. Definity is a busy drop-and-go family. color bins helped us create a plan on how to identify which stuff belongs to which family member. This simple solution allowed him to empty his car and get the family to pick up the specific stuff that belongs to them instead of being overwhelmed. having to sort on their own. The busy family can still drop and go and the bins will help them transition to picking up after themselves.

That's aweesome!

@chrystaltuckness5298 3 года назад

Love! My dad put a small lip on the front edge of a shelf or two, then put the back pegs up one set of holes so that when cans were laid sideways, they would roll toward the front

@dd13abc32 6 лет назад

I really liked how you walked thru your process in analyzing and providing solutions and how it relates to the specific "bug".

@stayhungrystayfoolish7751 6 лет назад

I really like ur style of explaining things.......u r a good and sensitive organiser.....u tell them what is wrong without ever being negative in ur approach.....butterfly and bugs concept was so cute for their personality trait without being rude

Finally, a before and after. not just someone yakin'!!! this shows that not only that it can be done, but how to do it. I have found the round flat lazy Susans helps with spices and tiered wire racks in different elevations helps to see what is in the back of the self, very inexpensive and found at Walmart. thank you for sharing!

@Lashlove16 6 лет назад

I gasped when you showed the before cabinets! 😳 That would drive me bonkers!!

@christyroberts9181 6 лет назад

Love that this was a real, lived-in kitchen! Most pinterest-worthy spaces seem to be so staged and unattainable. This was so different in the best kind of way!

@Naturalchic3 6 лет назад

I started to get a little teary-eyed over the "after" footage. I recognize the "before" as my own kitchen with homeless clutter on many flat surfaces and disorganized, random cupboards. Seeing a kitchen go from daily chaos to organized tranquility gave me a sense of hope and a desire to get going on my own space! Thank you :)

@Clutterbug 6 лет назад

I'm glad you were feeling inspired! It didn't take long either! Under 4 hours to organize everything!

This makes me feel good about my own kitchen, lol. I like that you said it doesn’t have to be Pinterest-worthy... sometimes perfectionism gets in the way of organization.

@missyelle2749 6 лет назад

OMG !!! Thanks for sharing this. I can't wait to see you tackle all the mess and clutter in the remainder of this house. You can do an entire series on this home, you already can tell there's at least 7 other rooms in the home that are in DESPERATE need of your touch. Thanks for showing this real home nice to see other people's junk and messy homes. You have an eye for figuring it out. I'm sure your Aunt was so pleased with this 1 room! Can't wait for the rest of the other messes to be transformed!!! Way to go 😊

I soo need help with getting my place clean, decluttered, and organize. Ever since I lost my 15 year old son in 2015 I have completely let my place get so out of control and it’s taken me this long to start to want to get back on track. Which could make a happy husband for sure. Between my RA and depression it makes things tough sometimes. I have limited space and way to much stuff. I’m very embarrassed of my home and of myself that it’s come to this. I am crying through this whole video. Thanks for your video. First video I’ve seen of yours. 🤷🏻‍♀️🍁🍂

@jessical2962 5 лет назад

Love how you said it isn’t Pinterest worthy, but it’s functional. It’s so easy to get lost in thinking something has to be “pretty”. “Pretty” is nice, but if it doesn’t work in the long run it doesn’t really matter.

@kathleenhoffman3483 6 лет назад

Brilliant on the redo of that kitchen!! I think they can actually eat on the table now! I couldn't believe you did the cupboards too, I thought you were only doing the counters! Shows any thing is possible if you organize like a clutterbug! And can I just say you looked refreshed, renewed Beautiful in the video, I thought you looked thinner too! Maybe all that walking started you on the weight loss never ending Journey. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face at the end of your videos, It's my happy time when I watch your videos. And I have both your books, and I think you are a hope for all of us, you can organize, we can too!!

@catg714 6 лет назад

So.. Only 2 mins into video & I just have to tell you...the messy kitchen is MY kitchen!! And I hate it!!! Too many people in this house & not enough space! You are motivating & inspiring me for an overhaul & to put my foot down! lol - thank you! I'll let you know how it goes... Perhaps give you before/after pics on FB... FYI - We have a somewhat small kitchen & have to have two refrigerators as they're just too many of us... 4 adults, 1 child & 1 dog...

@pinknleopard 6 лет назад

Whoa awesome work! I'm a butterfly and after years I feel like I've just now taught myself to keep my kitchen not cluttered! It's been a process because I was bad at picking up after myself and I just had dumping grounds all over my counters. Lol

@sherrytee2962 6 лет назад

Loved that it was a REAL kitchen and loved loved loved that you really broke down what was going on with their habits and then linked it all back to your clutter bug philosophy providing simple but real solutions they should be able to maintain rather than ideas and tricks just for the sake of it, really good 👍💖
