Maybe you need a “project cupboard”….. so you can put whatever you want in there….. but when the cupboard it full and you want to add something you either have to do a project to free up space, or get rid of an old craft to make space.

Just put shoes in her closet room so that the whole cabinet is free for her pantry items. I think, if in South Korea shoes are suppose to be near gate, so it should be kept in a console or small cabinet outside. It’s weird near your kitchen your shoes are there.And a lot of space could be allotted to her kitchen items which are scattered everywhere on the counter. Furthermore I think her plants in the living room should be behind her window not in the whole living room. Since it will give more space to her. But, April is doing her best to give her new space. ❤️❤️

The home owner is so sweet. The woman helping is also good as she doesn't force people to let go of things.

TOP TIP FOR SORTING SHOES 🎉 When you get down to the pile you are definitely keeping….. TRY THEM ON AND WALK AROUND….. It’s surprising how our feet change and based on shoes we have been wearing recently what once felt comfortable no longer does. Guaranteed you will let go of a lot more based on true comfort over just liking how they look or remembering them feeling good. ❤ Great job …. You have both worked so hard and really work well together 😊😊

I get so happy when a Dani video pops up. Consider cleaning off the front of the fridge, I think it adds to the feeling of chaos.

The lint rollers need to go into the drawer in the shoe closet.🙂

Dani is doing a great job. I would have such anxiety having so much stuff in the kitchen.

Whoooo been waiting for the kitchen declutter since the second I saw the kitchen in the video😍

The way Dani says "Help?" is so relatable. I felt that. I'm watching to get tips on purging my spaces of unnecessary items.

There are so many fiddly little bits and bobs in a kitchen: so many little decisions. It can be draining. Your help in this is immeasurable.

Shoes..... I also live in a country where shoes are NOT worn in the house. I store my shoes in with my clothing (tiny wardrobe) and keep only my 2 daily wear pairs at the door. When I am setting out my clothes for my work day I decide which shoes to wear at the same time (professional office). When I come home at the end of my work day I put my professional clothes & shoes away. This aids in keeping my entry clear. It does mean i give my shoes a quick wipe before putting them away.

I would invest in a large cupboard ( or two)with doors, to put on the fridge wall, instead of having all the little storage. It would make the kitchen look less cluttered. What progress! I'm enjoying the process.

Hi Dani! Would you consider putting the dog crate on the window wall between the couch and tv? It would tuck it away and make a cozy spot for your doggie.

Dani, thank you for being vulnerable with us and showing us your struggles. I sensed that this process in the kitchen was challenging for you. Keep listening to yourself in case the process ever gets to be too much. I’m also so glad for you with how excited you were to find the floor, combine your shoes, and have back a countertop! By the end, you were really enjoying the process!

the corgi's tail wiggling is the cutest thing ❤

OMG! That is the cutest supervisor 🐕. He's making sure you guys are doing your job. 🤣

Im glad Dani found you April. It seems like she might have been paralyzed to go through item by item. She really doesn't know what she already owns. She definitely is not using what she already owns, and you are helping her realize that have several years supply of things or duplicates (some of which can't be used) is not beneficial in her life. Gathering things together should help her realize that she doesn't need more of items. In fact, she is definitely realizing how much money she is wasting on duplicates. If only we could clone you April. So many people need your services. Dani, you are making great progress. Keep it up!

Dani is really getting the hang of it now. You go, girl!

The shoe cabinet - use one of the drawers for lint rollers. It looks so much better with the floor cleared. The space on the left hand side that you're getting to next week; once that space is cleared/organized there would be room for a rolling cart to give her some storage underneath and a work surface on top for her baking. She could even store her baking supplies in the cart. I'm glad you're back for the kitchen, hope to see you help in the bathroom as well, a complete apartment reset for her. She's such a sweet person and wonderful personality, she deserves a great space to live in.

I’d put Lint rollers in drawer in cab with shoes

I'm agreeing with others. Shoes, to me, belong in the wardrobe room. Shoe storage in the kitchen skeeves me out, just like that worm thing did to April lol. And it would free up that space in the kitchen for food/appliances/odds and ends, aka kitchen stuff, storage. Love this series! It inspires me every time! Thank you Dani, for being so open and vulnerable. It's very brave.

I am enjoying this séries. IT is so real, because, as we live our lives, we collect things. We're not wrong, it just happens. This séries demonstrates how one can declutter realistically.😊

That kitchen is matching the calm energy of the living room area ❤. Can’t wait to see the final result. Good work Dani!

This series was the catalyst for my own home declutter!! Thank you so much!☺

Cats love feet and shoes because of the strong scent! Lucy was excited to rub the scent from Dani's shoes on to her own body, mixing it with her own (cat have scent glands on their whisker areas)- it's an act of love/ bonding!

YAY! The way I ran to you when I saw the upload 😂 hi hi!

Declutterring the front of the fridge will go a long way to adding visual calm to Dani’s kitchen.

I’m so invested in this series now. Love it when you post a longer video. Can’t wait for the next week!!!❤

Dani is the best friend we all wish we had, the teacher we all wish we had, and declutterer extraordinaire!!!

If she’s allowed to drill the walls, the wall space above the ledge would be great for a few long shelves with jars for baking ingredients, spices, etc. I am obsessed with this series. Well done to both of you. What a great team. I do this for a living as well, and chemistry with clients is very important.

i love decluttering chanels. I also watch Clutterbug and Dani is definitely a Butterfly! I like things hidden away so i do not see the clutter chaos. But Butterflies need to see their stuff so that they remember they have it, and then they can use it. I would go crazy... Thats why, when you help reorganize someone elses stuff, you need to do it based on their use of their space. This is somethig I learned through the years: there are many different ways to organize, and it depends on your personality and your way of using your space. Clutter makes me so anxious. I recently decluttered my whole top floor including my kitchen and living room because I was redoing my kitchen. I ended up giving everything away except a couple of furniture pieces, and i started fresh. I maintain it by doing a reset of my kitchen every evening, as well as a reset of my living room. This way, it will not get cluttered again, and when we get up in the morning the rooms are clear and clean. We have been able to maintain this and i am much calmer.

Dani is getting brighter and brighter through this process. Great work girls!!!!

😂 April and Lucy crack me up. 🐈 Looking forward to Kitchen declutter part 2. I agree with everyone else. Put the shoes with clothes and use the pantry for canned and bottled goods.

Dani is doing such a great job. I love the questions that you ask in follow up. "How will you hold yourself accountable?" I felt that one!

Coffee and April decluttering on a Sunday morning. Love this. I love the transformation of this home so far and was waitingbfoe this kitchen declutter!!!

Ooooo that was soooooooo satisfying! If you are able to fix to the wall could you do shallow shelves over the cupboard opposite the shoe cabinet to display the Starbucks cups, so that they are properly on display and she can enjoy looking at them rather than being bunched up on the fridge where you can’t really see them?

Keep a list of "projects" on your phone and schedule them like medical appointments. If you keep putting them off, that's a sign that you are not committed to completing them and you should just declutter the materials. New drinking game: Take a swig whenever Dani says, "I was gonna..."

Put the “ party stuff” in a clear bin with snap lid or a plastic bin drawer by or under the liquor cart so there is a party area. I like drawers because they’re easier to throw stuff into. Great job ladies, you inspire me!

Taking everything off the front and side of the fridge will make a HUGE difference in visual clutter. It will make the room look bigger! :)

Dani likes to cook. I cannot imagine how she ever did with no counter space. I have to have a place for everything or I can’t function. I do agree with others to try on all the shoes you kept, get rid of the uncomfortable ones and move shoes to the closet room. Then that very nice cabinet will be useable in the kitchen.

You can always decant things into the Ball jars. Then they would all match and they’re stackable. Dani, you are doing an amazing job.

I was hoping to see the kitchen shoe closet actually become a pantry. Feels right to have food and cooking things in the kitchen, and keep shoes and clothes in the other room.

Can't wait to see the next one! For anyone that doesn't know, honey is one food that never ever goes bad. It may start to crystalize but, all you have to do is set the jar in some warm water to liquefy it again. Never throw out honey, it is so good for you.

Everyone loves the Dani series. She's so realistic and fun. And her smile is lovely. Such great progress. Could you persuade her to go to Ikea (or whatever you have) and buy some proper storage cupboards for the back wall of the kitchen? It's always going to look a mess with all the different colours, heights, styles of shelves and stuff. A wall of simple white doors would make it look so much bigger and house everything she needs including foodstuffs. You have worked wonders on this flat between you. I take it this is a top floor flat? What is the ledge for that runs round the whole place? That makes things really awkward in places. But I guess it's structural or it would not be there. When she said everything melts in her home during summer I wilted. I hate being too hot and top floors of anything are always too hot for me.

The shoe situation inspired me to get up & rearrange mine by seasons 🎉 Then the bathroom counter needed a spritz & wipe when I was washing my hands. 😂 Dani is contagious! ❤❤❤

So glad that you ladies have finally tackled Dani's kitchen. How did she ever make her coffee cake in there? Having a knowledgeable guide to guide her has certainly helped her; one can see her decluttering muscles grow as the series has progressed. Like her I have so many projects that I "thought" I'd get to but never have. Now I'm being ruthless! Yesterday most of my needlework booklets of directions went. Maybe next should be my canning jars of all sizes? Blessings to you both from central Georgia USA.

You are making good progress. A big part of decluttering is changing the habits that cause you to accumulate so much. I am sure you are already experiencing this and working on changing your purchasing habits. Best wishes to you on your new decluttered future.

I am so excited you started on the kitchen. It was overwhelming me, I wanted to come over and help. GREAT WORK DANI!

I feel like she should consolidate all her Starbucks collection in a type of storage that would display them

Move over Dani, we have a new star in the house! ❤Ricki❤ the camera loves you girl!!

I’d have a ball helping yall declutter and organize this space. I’m hoping yall end up using more vertical space, perhaps with shelves or tall cabinet.

Whenever I see a Dani video I get so excited! She is truly inspiring human being.

First time watching this channel and I just wanna say I really appreciate April’s tone and how kind and respectful she comes off. It’s really wholesome and I enjoyed watching them organize together. ❤️

You may want to take off all the magnets on the fridge. I did this to mine and feel so much better when I come into my kitchen.

Her dog, Ricky is so adorable! I would want to carry and pet him all day 🤣🤣 So cute Dani is doing a great job decluttering. April you are doing awesome helping Dani declutter.

Dani loves starbucks and this is definitely a collection that deserves a visible pretty display shelf

Ricky is just adorable! What a great job on the kitchen!

When i found your first video i said this is my channel! And it needs saying again! This is my CHANNEL! I was thinking "I wish I had an April", but i got her. I'm learning so much! Dani is a rock star! i said in the last video that Dani was lighter in her energy and i see it even more. Dani you are glowing! I look forward to seeing your next video. Such and inspiration and motivation for me.

For the whale butter dish she could still put the butter in it but in the fridge that way she can use it year round.

Dani, have you ever tried refrigerator pickles? They might scratch the homemade pickle itch but in small batches that don't require canning or storing.

I'm loving the Dani and Tracy series so much ❤❤

this series brings me endless joy❤ also you and dani’s growing friendship and banter is hilarious 😂 love the dynamic you guys got going on!! cant wait for part 2🎉

You can keep the extra bowl for your red kitchenaid. Great to have an extra bowl for Christmas baking. Take the 110 to a US military base to donate.

I have that same carrot knife that I use to open packages, and I call it my danger carrot lmao.

You have made a HUGE progess! It's unbelievable! 🎉🎉🎉 Good luck with the next kitchen decluttering part!

I admit I might have missed something but since there’s room now in the clothesroom, wouldn’t it make more senseto put theshoes there(the ledge) anduse thatcloset for kitchen stuff 🤔

Just opening up the front door area changes how the space feels.

Shoes should definitely be in the bedroom. Also, the vases and other glassware needs to be downsized. Great work so far. I think the key is to not buy anything new until all the items are used up ie, spices, lint rollers, dog treats, coffee etc.

We’re de cluttering the kitchen today! Where should we start? Shoes! 😂

Dani continues to impress me. Making those quick decisions can be difficult, but she's doing it without a problem. 👏👏👏 Question👉 What are the ledges for??? I never saw anything like that until I saw Dani's place.

I keep hearing about Dani’s car situation. Now I am curious and need a whole video on that clean out😂 Dani I love watching you and you are doing amazing! So excited for this kitchen to be completely done! It will feel so amazing!! Also an idea for the mugs is to get a cute display cabinet (IKEA has some really cute ones) that fits a large wall in your apartment so that way you can display all your favorites and make that the boundary for your collection😊

Projects and crafts can definitely become a whip we apply to our own selves - we all seem to have more ideas of what we want to do rather than time and energy to do it. I loved the look of the kitchen shaping up - I want it to be as welcoming a space as possible - as I know Dani likes to bake.

She could also create more space in the kitchen by putting shelves of the right size on the ledge, to add potentially quite a decent amount of vertical space (could store jars, spices, appliances, etc.). She could then have this concealed by a curtain (if she could get a tension rod that was long enough/with pins in the ceiling if she didn't mind holding back the curtain when she was using it).

I can tell Dani wants her space to breathe. Ricky and Lucy love the extra space.

$150 is decent money pay bills with that. Hopefully Dani is on a shopping freeze as that will help with space making. Also, I love her fur babies making cameos and being little Diva's cute.

Golly - I felt like I was right there in the room with the two of you SO MUCH that when I had to pause the video for a moment and get up, I looked behind me so that I didn't accidentally roll my chair back and hit Ricky!! Thanks for your sharing your techniques and this comfortable working relationship. Inspiring in many ways...

Yippppppeeeeee!!! A Dani video! Been waiting for the kitchen do over! Great progress ladies!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

So happy this process is started! I love the method and seeing it applied. You’re so good at directing and adapting to your client, April. It’s crazy how much has been done just by that clutter and corralling things together that will ultimately go together. The feeling of accomplishment is really validating. Also, I found myself shouting poop bags during the whole drawers sequence!

I think that you can put a shelf on the left counter to make space. Tumblers can be storaged in wine racks too!

I just love you two! Dani is so cute and I love how she is open to suggestions and honest about her thought process. Inspiration 💕

I’m not going to lie, that kitchen gives me some serious anxiety 😖 I moved from a 2400sq ft home into a fifth wheel. I love to cook and bake and I found that I didn’t need that much stuff to do those things. I found kitchen items with multi purpose that made the big down sizing so much easier. Also, I only have food that I eat, I don’t have excess, it’s easy to see, and I have saved money in the process. I’m not a collector of anything, so I don’t get the cup collection specially if you don’t use the on a regular basis. Another thing I have learned in My years of decluttering and helping others do the same, the collection become expensive and in most cases they don’t really bring any value to anyone else when you try to sell them. I had a friend that had all these collections and when she moved and was overwhelmed with the stuff, she tried selling it, only to find out that most people didn’t want any of it. It was such a waste of time and money, she did the numbers and instantly regretted it. She was in some debt, so she realized she could have easy have put that money towards paying off her student loan and other debts.

Please consider putting the pet cage over at the end of the plant stand in the living room. In the space where the selling department was located. Just a thought.

I would start reconsidering how many backups to buy of everything. Makes a difference in a smaller space. Nice progress!

I agree with others who are suggesting that the extra shoes being moved into the closet room. I have a similar amount of shoes and I keep my whole collection in my closet. I have a small bench by the door that holds just my 3-4 current shoes in rotation. Since Dani seems to be passionate about cooking and making things, more kitchen storage would be super handy!

Love this series.

The shoe cabinet could be used for pantry items instead. The large floor mirror could be moved to another place, and could be the perfect spot for a shoe storage cabinet instead.

You have to love the Starbucks marketing machine that can make you think you must have every New Years cup. But, all-in-all, you're doing great, Dani!

KITCHEN.....KITCHEN.......KITCHEN !!!! Yea!!! Kitchen day!!!! LOVE IT

Put your yeast in the freezer for a long-term storage. And a smaller container in the refrigerator for shorter term storage. Yeast will last a lot longer when cool/cold

I watch Dani’s videos to motivate myself as I help someone declutter a hoarder house. Thanks! I really enjoys your Dani’s videos but hope to also see Tracy again soon

If you totally clear off fridge doors she will feel 1000% better!! 💕

I lived in a mobile home for 45 years. I had to learn big space wasn't an option. When you're in a small space one of the things I learned is you have to go up and not out. There's no floor space for that. The other thing I learned is that multi use stackable storage containers that you can see thru become a best friend, especially if you are storing kitchen items that aren't used as much but still needed seasonally like for canning, holidays, etc...stack them up and still where they can be visual. The biggest thing to do in the kitchen, bathroom, closets, etc, I think is LABELING. you can find nice labels on Amazon, etc...and boy, does it help ya later.

The apartment is coming along great. Good going, Dani!

I was really waiting for the lint rollers to go in the drawer inside the shoe cabinet 😅😅

Great job!!! We decluttered our huge travel Starbucks mug collection and now I have approximately 6 of my favorites that I use all the time and enjoy every day. Thanks for inspiring me!!! I can’t wait for the next kitchen video. Big hugs to you both. 😊

Wowie. She has such good intentions she's going to use all these things. Small progress but great job.

Yay 🎉Space Maker Method! 🎉With Dani!!Thank you both in advance. I'll make a cuppa, watch and no doubt be inspired.

I bet long floating shelves all along that back wall with the ledge would be perfect for storing & displaying cups and things :) I think IKEA has some!

I also like some others thought if she had empty space in her closets maybe move the shoes to that room and put pantry items in there. I also read once you are done organizing a kitchen is to put items near each other (if possible) like coffee cups near the coffee maker. I know for my home some did work and others didnt due to cabinet size but it does make a difference
