This definitely is my favorite transformation we've done on the channel. I CAN'T wait to show you next week. This episode was AN HOUR long so I cut it down to two parts because you guys were pretty divided on time 🤪 (tho I love that a lot of you would watch an hour long episode.. TY) Next week we're going to finish this closet AND add the laundry room and utility closet. And a MAJOR thank you to Miami Momma for coming by to help! Thanks for following the series guys! Tomorrow is my husband's birthday so I will be responding to the comments Monday! Have a great Sunday everyone! -April
One thing I learned to do when picking clothes that are on hangers is to take the hanger with whatever I choose to wear. Then I put the empty hanger in a special place for empty hangers so that when I wash those clothes I don't have to go through the closet looking for empty hangers. It has made it much easier for me in the long run.
I love how the shoes were displayed. If something brings you daily joy, display it. It's almost like a work of art. Looking forward to next weekends installment.
That's interesting I've never heard that about fire safety and hangers. My husband is a retired firefighter and clothing is not on our list of things to worry about in case of a fire. I hung all my clothes in my closet what's considered backwards. Then when I wear something it is placed back into the closest the right way. This way at the end of the year if it's not hung the right way I know I can declutter it.
Great decluttering trick. I’ve done that before too and I didn’t end up getting rid of much but it made me take note of things I didn’t wear often and I ended up finding new ways to wear them and enjoy them again.
There was a time in the late nineties when someone thought it was necessary to teach first graders and kindergarteners fire safety by scaring them with info like this they were too young to handle, which is why they have parents and guardians to worry about these things while they are little. My kindergartener was taught there can be fires in the walls and didn't sleep for a month.
Love the progress on the closet. Having helpers is motivating too! Looking forward to the next episode. If you live in an area with wildfires, you might load up your car a day or 2 before getting an evacuation order. That’s when having hangers oriented the right way might save precious time.
True, in kindergarden we learned to leave everything behind and walk out of the building quickly and calmly in case of a fire. Not even get your jacket and street shoes, even in winter, just get outside to a safe space with your teacher in your house shoes.
Yeah, we were told to not try and grab anything. Not toys, pets, clothes, pictures, anything. Just get out of the house as quickly and safely as possible, and to not even think about going back into the house for any reason. Once you were out of the home, to get far away from the fire. Cross the street and move away. I've never heard of telling anyone, especially children that have anxiety about everything to try and grab clothing on their way out.
It looks as if the "niche" in the closet was meant to hold those clear shoeboxes... So nice and beautiful! And love the suggestions of the homeowner about recycling.
I love how kindly you talk about how we all reacted differently to the situation during the pandemic, we need to give each other some slack, it´s been hard. Great work with the closet 🙂
God it's been hard for everyone in so many different ways. And then to think of the ones who lost loved ones during that time. We gotta give each other a break💛
Regarding the fire safety part of the video, I think April is talking about evacuation in advance of a forest fire, hurricane, etc. I don't think she's suggesting you stop and pack your clothes when leaving a house that is actually in flames.
Haha ya I should have explained that better. It wasn't to save the clothes,🤪 they told us (in the 90s) that if there was smoke coming into the room from under the door, you could grab your clothes quickly and shove them around the door to keep the smoke from coming into the room while you get out or if you were trapped on the second or third floor & were waiting for the fire truck to help you escape, it could save your life from smoke inhalation.
April, of course we would watch an hour of you! You are making a difference in people's lives! Sometimes people just need some help to get started. 😻The kitty content is very welcome for me! Everyone has unique needs and priorities are very individual. Much gratitude to you and the people who are sharing their progress! I've seen the shoe organization before and love it! Wouldn't work for me because I don't have many shoes. It's amazing to see the different options and choices that people have!
Thanks, Kimberly! It's been really rewarding to transition TSD into more of this content and I hope that more subscriber's homes can get organized through this!
You make the whole decluttering process so well. Each project requires a different approach depending on circumstances. Yes, it’s hard work but so rewarding in the end. Another great job! TY
When I change my wardrobe for a seasonal change over I always start with the hanger the wrong way round and if I haven't worn it by the end of the season it goes into a 'maybe' pile, then gets decluttered. This is something I've done for the last few years and this keeps control on my wardrobe 😊
Great job! I’m sure it’s going to make getting ready in the morning so much easier! And I bet he will buy less in future because he can see what he already has! Can’t wait for next week’s episode!
Daunting task!! So cool how quickly he decluttered. The shoes still in boxes would be better for selling. Taking shoes out of boxes before a sort seemed counter productive.
I don't think that he wanted to sell the shoes, he wanted to wear them. If you don't take them out of the boxes, you can't see them to know what you want to wear.
They tell kids in America to rescue their clothes in a fire?! In the Uk, kids are told to make loads of noise to wake up family members and just get out…. Crawl on the floor if there is smoke…..Specifically take nothing with you.
never talked about fires (or earthquakes) in Italy😳 but they build houses in a different way we use bricks....probably if outside its cold u need clothes when leaving
Germany here. Even adults are taught to leave absolutely everything behind, if there is a fire in the office, for example. Leave everything in the room, close windows so the fire don't get fed with oxygen, , think of people who might not have heard the alarm or might need help to get out, close your office door behind you and hurry up getting out, without running or panicking.
It is completely amazing when you can get rid of bulky furniture that is not doing a great job of helping store your things. My former roommate years ago lived in the small, L-shaped attic bedroom upstairs that the landlord had built himself years before. My roommate kept finding items on the street to furnish his room with and didn't know how to arrange his furniture to most easily move through the room, and he was a big dude. When I got up there to help him, he had, for example, a tv stand where basically the entire piece just held a gaming console. We carried like 4 pieces of big brown furniture out of his bedroom and moved his bed against the opposite wall and it was like a whole new world. Can't wait to see you get those file cabinets/ drawers out of the closet!
THIS! It's so true! You think you're doing a great thing by repurposing something, but it can really just not work and make the space worse. But sometimes it really can work, too! Your roommate reminds me of this episode we did for my friend Tony... exact same thing 🤪 ruclips.net/video/MD1LDjZKsaY/видео.html
Great work and stunning progress, April. Another wonderful example of meeting people where they are...with amazing results. Thanks to all involved for doing the hard work and sharing the process with us. Eager for more.
I really appreciate when people open their homes to YT. It's not easy and then they're curious and will likely read the comments and that;s a whole can of worms. I'm just thankful that they let us all in to see it.
oooo good question. I think it just depends on the home. Most of the times, US homes DO have more stuff which can be overwhelming. But in Korea, you tend to have less storage spaces so you have to get creative with how to hide necessary things like extra toilet paper, suitcases, multi season clothing
We all have our thing, right!? 😁 My family has a ton of books, we love them and though they won't go in hte ground with us one day, they do make us really happy now and add to the richness of our life. To each their own!
Amazing epic transformation. Everything is so meticulously grouped, organized and displayed in such a pleasing manner. Honestly, I didn’t want this video to end. Definitely could have watched another hour! Greetings to you from South Florida. 🌞🌴🦎🐊🌊
Oh and I also think those grass baskets snag fabrics! They are spendy, but the amount of use I get from it is incredible. Even my husband has started to load them up. I have the medium, but I just ordered the silver small one. I can report back on which one I end up using more. I feel like the small one will be the most used for me.
Empathizing with the “small space shuffle! “ Added stress to mess but end reward is great!! That shoe stack is so hi-end looking and perfect fit for that space! Awesome job TSD and great work client/family team!! Keep up your great efforts! Can hardly wait to see the final results.
I start every Sunday watching your new video release. It's my motivation to tackle something on my projects list before the work week starts 🙂 I love your gentle approach to helping people declutter and organize.
This was great and I am so glad he participated with you. He is supporting these changes and is willing to do the work. Heck you make us all willing to follow you and do the work...LOL
So nice to see he was willing to donate a lot. So many will benefit. When there is a jacket or clothing item I know I like, I may get a couple because things wear out and aren't always available for repurchase. Definitely the case for good fitting t-shirts or pants for example. Maybe if he had to put all those clear boxes together, he would be less enamored of shoes!😄 Love the direction things are moving. It helps to have an "outsider" involved in these big jobs. You can sometimes tune out the opinions of those closest to you. Can't wait to see the next part!
That's exactly what he said! He said that in America he has a hard time finding clothes that fit him, so he often imports things that he knows works and will buy a couple at a time so that he can replace them when they were out. (and also to only import once) Which I totally understand because I couldn't find things that fit me in Korea and when you find that one thing,.... you stock up!
I’m a big fan of giving collections and treasured items a space where they can be displayed and enjoyed. This closet is going to be so lovely, I can tell.
I just want to thank you for all your videos. I discover your channel recently and it feels so good to watch them. I have just order few clear bins and this weekend I will re-make my bathroom. First step in my all apartment makeover ? Maybe but there is so much to declutter… so as you say : just start. And I start with the smallest space with the less clutter (because there is literally no space). I will watch all your playlist as you are si inspiring with your makeover and declutter video. Thank you again
Great 👍 episode April !!! Unbelievable shoe 👞 collection as well as the clothes Loved 🥰 the clean up Can’t wait for next week Like 👍 your episodes all laid out easy to see Well done 👍 Australia 🇦🇺 🐈🐈🐈🦘🦘🦘🐎🐎🐎😻😻😻🎒🎒🎒
This was an excellent episode (as always). The shoe boxes at the end 😍😍😍 Can't wait till next weeks episode and to see all the final transformations. Sterling work by everyone!
I'm binge-watching this series. I need ideas but most importantly INSPIRATION to tackle my own hoards, especially my clothes and shoes. I just wish I had a team of 4. I'm one short with just me, myself, and I. 🤷♀️
That shoe wall looks great! I’m glad the manager/landlord let you take the shelves out. I really liked how you and the client talked through how to organize his shirts (I call those kind slippery shirts and I think I’ll try hanging my husband’s shirts too). I can’t wait for next Sunday! Happy birthday Jackson!
It was really nice to hear how he uses them and what his dislikes were with them and get to problem solve around that. It's like a fun challenge. luckily they own the apartment so we have free reign to do what we want, but they may sell it in the near future so we don't want to go too crazy with what we do (unnecessary holes and such)
Shoe buying during pandemic was more practical than my china/glass/small antique spending spree from eBay. Boxes of new stuff helped add some interest to the days. For those of us who could afford, if the only problem it has created is storage then it was well worth the cost.
I really enjoy these videos. I like watching the process, and knowing that the mess it makes is ok because the end result is so amazing. It's interesting to see that although people prioritize different types of things (collectibles, etc.), that we all have the same problem areas in our homes. I am working on my on home, but it is definitely an ongoing long-term project. But I find that as I am working on things I tell myself things that I have heard on this channel (like it will get worse before it's better) but also when I'm tired, that it's ok to stop and regroup and that the work IS tiring. Keep up the good work!!
I just feel this change will help these people so so much. I can see how buried they are with years of having to make do - with the hurricane and scrambling to get things to higher ground - where ever they can go is good enough - just shove it in! Then, they both work a busy fulltime - they are both collecty types - which some are and that's absolutely okay. Then they had the pandemic and two office spaces needed to squeezed into their already busy home. I get a feeling from the way everyone was interacting today, that hubby is beginning to see the possibilities of what might be - and I would absolutely love to hear from them down the line - what was the biggest difference to their lives stemming from the curating of their stuff - did you helping them with the start give them the taste for more? Were there any relationship or personal changes which they're glad for looking back? I hope they have lots of positive happy moments stemming from this change.
I’m a pretty clean and tidy person and I actually love organizing but I’ve overloaded my schedule this month with my work which is crazy this month as I’m switching shifts, I’m doing a side cleaning job on the weekends for a friend while they are out of town this month, plus im moving apartments and my new one needed a lot of cleaning up and fresh paint. When im feeling unmotivated to get stuff done for my move I watch these videos as they give me the motivation to get stuff done cause it’s so satisfying to watch you I want to tackle stuff myself
Amazing work as always and that you got it done in a relatively smaller space. It would be I interesting to see what clothes, shoes that each of them purged. Also, they would be wise to get rid of half of their bags-somehow they multiply for everyone-I have donated or sold many. Each person in household needs one suitcase,one carry on/duffle bag and one backpack-that’s it! It has taken me a long time to come to the excess is not good realization; they are you g so getting it under control early is wonderful. You have definitely motivated me; thanks.
Oh we will def get rid of more bags when we head down to the storage unit! But at least we're starting to gather them and put them in hte same space so that it's easier to see what all they have and then don't need. My husband and I have 3 large suitcases each 🤣 but we go back and forth internationally a lot and have a cat in tow too 🤪 But man do they take up space.
Ohhh April 😍 these jobs keep getting better and better!! I wish I could be your assistant and assemble all those boxes for you #dreamjob Just a suggestion, maybe flip one of the shoes 👞 around so he gets a view of the back & front of each pair. Wonderful that the client & her mom were able to both participate & watch RUclips together 👍👍
Amazing transformation already and he has a brilliant collection of shoes. Bet he lets some old beat up ones go now that he can start wearing his new ones
I turn my hangers around on cloths that I am having a hard time letting go of. If I wear it the hanger get turn back around correct. And if I don’t wear it after 6-12 months it has to go.
my old apartment had 2 bathrooms with only 2 of us living there, litter in the shower was VITAL for us. we didnt need two showers and it kept the litter contained
Random second comment. lol We live in a "tiny home" and that was something we definitely never anticipated. To clean one area, you essentially have to move everything out of it into another very vital living area. lol It is easy to lose the kitchen with all the living area stuff and still feel like you have no room in the living area to move things around and clean. -_-
Hi there, am going through this series so to speak. You’re taking about shoes and throughout I’m dying to know what your own ‘runners’ or sneakers are!! LOVE them! Thank you. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
I believe the fire safety aspect of hangers has more to do with how fire fighters will pile burning things away from walls when they are actually fighting a house fire. I don't think it has anything to do with how children evacuate a burning house. In the US, people are told to get low and get out.
haha ya, I should have explained that more 🤣 and this was early 90s when they told us this but it was something about if you see smoke coming in from under your door and that you should grab your clothes off the hangers quickly and pile them by the door so that the smoke can't get into your room.
I appreciate the longer videos! And understand why you might need to break some footage up due to length. You might want to consider setting up a Patreon account and offering bonus footage as part of the membership. Or I believe RUclips offers a membership option and you can share bonus footage and live streaming as perks.
Ohhhh, I wish we could have seen the rest now. I always watch you while getting ready for church on Sunday morning. I love how the shoe organization came out. Those are the niftiest shoe boxes for sure. Okay, I’m confused by something. You said they lived in an apartment that was damaged during a storm and had to repair it after the storm. Do they own their apartment? I’ve never heard of owning an apartment. Having watched your videos I’ve noticed the people can do this they just needed you to help them get a jump start of sorts. I can’t wait to see the completion. Super excited ~ Janet 😘
... she's so funny. " We need to get this out and get rid of this but we can't do that until we move this and get rid of this .... but we can't do that until we move all this stuff, in order to get rid of that , so we can get rid of the other thing....." 🙂😁😄 I TOTALLY get it ....been there ! Lol. Great progress. I used to tell people when I was an organizer it's going to get way worse before it gets better and that's just the nature of it that's just how it is because when you're trying to get things to where it has a semblance of order and get rid of things that you're not tied to anymore, that really have outlived their usefulness or whatever , it's a process and I would tell people.. : " it's a process and I'm not here to make you throw things away, I want you to feel comfortable , I want you to be happy with what's going on" . I wanted them involved in part of the process the same way as you do and I so admire that about you because that will inspire people number one and number two it will make them feel like they are empowered to keep things organized. 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🙂😊💜
I love everything you said! It really is such a motivation for people to do the physical and mental work of decluttering... it really is therapy and everyone has to do the work, sometimes we just need help along the way.
@@SpaceMakerMethod ... Yes. You are spot on. It is a motivation, to do the Mental ( psychological / Emotional ) work and the Physical...... it becomes Therapy. 😊😊🤗💛 so kind, your reply ... Thank you, April and Team TSD.
I have never in my life hear of taking clothes with you while escaping a fire. That's just ridiculous. You were taught that in school?!? That's insane!
I’m hoping it’s an isolated teacher’s advice, maybe one who’s priorities were fashion or some high end items. Still scary to know anyone passed that along to children.
Yeah we were told get out and if you happened to have pets next to you to grab them but dont go looking for them because theyll find their way out much quicker than you will so to just leave all the doors open and call them from outside.
I initially thought the same thing, but then it occurred to me that the advice may have been for situations when it is necessary to evacuate the area because of wildfires, etc., and pack belongings in preparation.
I should have explained that better. It wasn't to save the clothes, they told us (in the 90s) that if there was smoke coming into the room from under the door, you could grab your clothes quickly and shove them around the door to keep the smoke from coming into the room while you get out. So essentially, if all the hangers were facing the same direction then you'd be able to grab them quickly. I think the scenario was if you were stuck in your bedroom on the 2nd floor and had to wait for the firetruck to help you evacuate, because you were too high up you could use your clothes to prevent the smoke from getting into the room and potentially save your life from smoke inhalation.
@@SpaceMakerMethod lol, When I started decluttering I was a bit of a shoe w****. The biggest issue was that it is hard to come by cute shoes in a 12 women's. These days I am down to birkenstocks and what I call my kitchen shoes.... the non-slip closed toed, black type shoes required when working in a kitchen.
I didn’t notice a lot of doubles either which in a way makes sense because when you collect something you really like you tend to remember what you have
This definitely is my favorite transformation we've done on the channel. I CAN'T wait to show you next week.

I love how the shoes were displayed. If something brings you daily joy, display it. It's almost like a work of art. Looking forward to next weekends installment.
Yes, Elena! It is like art! Actually I think investing in shoes you were is better than some art I've seen 🤣
This is the shoe storage of my dreams! I mean, in my dreams they’re backlit and Jason Momoa is massaging me, but, you know, details

I'm fine with long videos. I can always come back and finish it.
Good to know!

Oh thank you! It really is a new puzzle each time!
I need a sound spa that sounds like kitty purrs. Because it's so soothing.

In Australia the kids are taught a rhyme "get down low, and go, go, go" or something very similar.
It is completely amazing when you can get rid of bulky furniture that is not doing a great job of helping store your things.

What a cliff hanger! Wonderful progress and love the ‘shoe wall’.
Can't wait for next Sunday!
After decluttering in Korea, do you find it harder in the US? We seem to just have so much more and way more space to put things we don't need.
oooo good question. I think it just depends on the home. Most of the times, US homes DO have more stuff which can be overwhelming. But in Korea, you tend to have less storage spaces so you have to get creative with how to hide necessary things like extra toilet paper, suitcases, multi season clothing
You are so incredibly patient. Some people really love their stuff and you didn’t judge you met them where they are.
We all have our thing, right!? 😁 My family has a ton of books, we love them and though they won't go in hte ground with us one day, they do make us really happy now and add to the richness of our life. To each their own!
I love that you take time to show us the kitties! Great job on the organizing April!
Always. And I always take time bts for kitty cuddles.
I am SO looking forward to watching part 2!
eeee can't wait!
The closet is looking so much better the couple is doing well.
Clear shelf dividers keep your piles of sweaters, t-shirts, etc from slumping over on shelves. Amazon has them as do other places.
Amazing epic transformation. Everything is so meticulously grouped, organized and displayed in such a pleasing manner. Honestly, I didn’t want this video to end. Definitely could have watched another hour! Greetings to you from South Florida. 🌞🌴🦎🐊🌊
thanks Karen! Can't wait to show you the final reveal next week!
The Wall Of Shoes is here, YAAAAAY!!! Amazing and now it looks like a collection not hoarding.
Superb job, as always
Oh and I also think those grass baskets snag fabrics! They are spendy, but the amount of use I get from it is incredible. Even my husband has started to load them up. I have the medium, but I just ordered the silver small one. I can report back on which one I end up using more. I feel like the small one will be the most used for me.
The shoe storage is fab 😍 can’t wait for the final result 🙌🏻
It's going to be SOOO good!
Wow! That was awesome. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Empathizing with the “small space shuffle! “ Added stress to mess but end reward is great!! That shoe stack is so hi-end looking and perfect fit for that space! Awesome job TSD and great work client/family team!! Keep up your great efforts! Can hardly wait to see the final results.
I start every Sunday watching your new video release. It's my motivation to tackle something on my projects list before the work week starts 🙂 I love your gentle approach to helping people declutter and organize.
Thanks, Dana! I hope you found some serious closet motivation today!
You have such great energy! So kind and patient and positive 😊
This was great and I am so glad he participated with you. He is supporting these changes and is willing to do the work. Heck you make us all willing to follow you and do the work...LOL
haha! Love it! 💛thank yoU!
So nice to see he was willing to donate a lot. So many will benefit. When there is a jacket or clothing item I know I like, I may get a couple because things wear out and aren't always available for repurchase. Definitely the case for good fitting t-shirts or pants for example. Maybe if he had to put all those clear boxes together, he would be less enamored of shoes!😄 Love the direction things are moving. It helps to have an "outsider" involved in these big jobs. You can sometimes tune out the opinions of those closest to you. Can't wait to see the next part!
That's exactly what he said! He said that in America he has a hard time finding clothes that fit him, so he often imports things that he knows works and will buy a couple at a time so that he can replace them when they were out. (and also to only import once) Which I totally understand because I couldn't find things that fit me in Korea and when you find that one thing,.... you stock up!
This man is such a fashionisto! I love that! :) Closet is looking great, and I love the shoe storage!
Wow, SHOES!! Can’t wait for the next video!👍😊❤️
See you Sunday!
I love the shoe organizer. Looks great!!
Aren't they so cooL!
I’m a big fan of giving collections and treasured items a space where they can be displayed and enjoyed. This closet is going to be so lovely, I can tell.
It already looks so much better! I bet he is going to really enjoy getting dressed and being fashionista.
Oh for sure! he needs a mirror in there too !
So proud of u dani its looks so good.❤❤
I love those shoe boxes. And so many great shoes that he can now wear!
Yes! I think it will be fun for him to get to pick them out each mornig.
What a difference. Love your declutter and reorganize series 💕
Yay! Thank you!Many more to come!
Love the video! So satisfying! I’m so glad he was able to not get overwhelmed. Also love the cat content 💖💖💖
A new requirement for all projects is that there must be one pet per epsidoe 🤪
I just want to thank you for all your videos. I discover your channel recently and it feels so good to watch them. I have just order few clear bins and this weekend I will re-make my bathroom. First step in my all apartment makeover ? Maybe but there is so much to declutter… so as you say : just start. And I start with the smallest space with the less clutter (because there is literally no space). I will watch all your playlist as you are si inspiring with your makeover and declutter video. Thank you again
I loved the video, love these series, also your cat in the thumbnail has the cutest smile 🥰
She's the sweetest kitty!
Great 👍 episode April !!!
Unbelievable shoe 👞 collection as well as the clothes
Loved 🥰 the clean up
Can’t wait for next week
Like 👍 your episodes all laid out easy to see
Well done 👍
Australia 🇦🇺 🐈🐈🐈🦘🦘🦘🐎🐎🐎😻😻😻🎒🎒🎒
Thanks, Faye!
So many shoes! Love how you are so understanding and patient.
💛
Looks amazing! Great job to everyone involved!
Can't wait to show you what we really do with this closet. It's going to be stunning !
Loved the shoe storage solution!
It's so cool!
This was an excellent episode (as always). The shoe boxes at the end 😍😍😍 Can't wait till next weeks episode and to see all the final transformations. Sterling work by everyone!
thanks, Jenny! Next week's transfomation is going to be soooooo good!
I'm binge-watching this series. I need ideas but most importantly INSPIRATION to tackle my own hoards, especially my clothes and shoes. I just wish I had a team of 4. I'm one short with just me, myself, and I. 🤷♀️
Awesome work April and team! You are doing great!
Thank you so much! Can't wait for next week!
I'm so excited for this episode! I would have loved to hell cleaning and organizing that closet!
Having help to do a closet is SOOO nice!
That shoe wall looks great! I’m glad the manager/landlord let you take the shelves out.
I really liked how you and the client talked through how to organize his shirts (I call those kind slippery shirts and I think I’ll try hanging my husband’s shirts too).
I can’t wait for next Sunday!
Happy birthday Jackson!
It was really nice to hear how he uses them and what his dislikes were with them and get to problem solve around that. It's like a fun challenge. luckily they own the apartment so we have free reign to do what we want, but they may sell it in the near future so we don't want to go too crazy with what we do (unnecessary holes and such)
Another epic transformation! Bravo
oh just wait for hte next episode!
What a job, wow, thank goodness you had so much help.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Right!? I was so happy to have her mom there. We needed all the hands we could get!
I love the wall of shoe storage! Seems a lot more functional and aesthetic!
SOOO mcuh more aesthetic!
I hate waiting for the next episode. I want to see it all!!! I just love watching you turn total chaos into something wonderful.
haha! 🤪 gotta keep you guys wanting more. JK. This was really just an insanely long video. I can't wait to show you what we do next Sunday!
Shoe buying during pandemic was more practical than my china/glass/small antique spending spree from eBay. Boxes of new stuff helped add some interest to the days. For those of us who could afford, if the only problem it has created is storage then it was well worth the cost.
Oh definitely. It really was something to look forward to.
I told u already I'm so happy to see sb understanding the importance of organizing ....u change people life ♥️
Thank you. I really love what I do. and I love seeing the change that simply decluttering and organizing can do in someone's life
Wowowow I love the shoe storage!
So dreamy!
This was epic!! Love the shoe wall 😍
A sneaker head's dream!
Can't wait for the next episode
I really enjoy these videos. I like watching the process, and knowing that the mess it makes is ok because the end result is so amazing. It's interesting to see that although people prioritize different types of things (collectibles, etc.), that we all have the same problem areas in our homes. I am working on my on home, but it is definitely an ongoing long-term project. But I find that as I am working on things I tell myself things that I have heard on this channel (like it will get worse before it's better) but also when I'm tired, that it's ok to stop and regroup and that the work IS tiring. Keep up the good work!!
Oh absolutely! It takes time and the most important thing is to just not quit! Hope you found some motivation from this to keep on!
I definitely have!! Thank you 😊
The principle of ‘take it there now’ by Dana K White will help with all the things that stand around at the end.
I just feel this change will help these people so so much. I can see how buried they are with years of having to make do - with the hurricane and scrambling to get things to higher ground - where ever they can go is good enough - just shove it in! Then, they both work a busy fulltime - they are both collecty types - which some are and that's absolutely okay. Then they had the pandemic and two office spaces needed to squeezed into their already busy home. I get a feeling from the way everyone was interacting today, that hubby is beginning to see the possibilities of what might be - and I would absolutely love to hear from them down the line - what was the biggest difference to their lives stemming from the curating of their stuff - did you helping them with the start give them the taste for more? Were there any relationship or personal changes which they're glad for looking back? I hope they have lots of positive happy moments stemming from this change.
Oh I can’t wait for part two! I hate those wire closet shelves!
Me too! It looks so difficult to remove/add a hanger. Give me a proper rod anytime.
OMG we really had to go into RUclips to figure out how to remove them.
He actually hates the wired ones too, but she doesn't want to invest in new ones if they're going to move .🤣
I’m a pretty clean and tidy person and I actually love organizing but I’ve overloaded my schedule this month with my work which is crazy this month as I’m switching shifts, I’m doing a side cleaning job on the weekends for a friend while they are out of town this month, plus im moving apartments and my new one needed a lot of cleaning up and fresh paint. When im feeling unmotivated to get stuff done for my move I watch these videos as they give me the motivation to get stuff done cause it’s so satisfying to watch you I want to tackle stuff myself
I love that! Don't overwork yourself! All of that, on top of moving sounds like you deserve some self care for sure!
Amazing work as always and that you got it done in a relatively smaller space. It would be I interesting to see what clothes, shoes that each of them purged. Also, they would be wise to get rid of half of their bags-somehow they multiply for everyone-I have donated or sold many. Each person in household needs one suitcase,one carry on/duffle bag and one backpack-that’s it! It has taken me a long time to come to the excess is not good realization; they are you g so getting it under control early is wonderful. You have definitely motivated me; thanks.
Oh we will def get rid of more bags when we head down to the storage unit! But at least we're starting to gather them and put them in hte same space so that it's easier to see what all they have and then don't need. My husband and I have 3 large suitcases each 🤣 but we go back and forth internationally a lot and have a cat in tow too 🤪 But man do they take up space.
Very exciting!
Next week is going to be soo good!
Miracle worker!!!🧡
💛teamwork baby!
Love declutters!
yay! More to come!
Ohhh April 😍 these jobs keep getting better and better!! I wish I could be your assistant and assemble all those boxes for you #dreamjob Just a suggestion, maybe flip one of the shoes 👞 around so he gets a view of the back & front of each pair. Wonderful that the client & her mom were able to both participate & watch RUclips together 👍👍
Wow...love it
Thanks, Beverly! Can't wait for next week's!
Amazing transformation already and he has a brilliant collection of shoes. Bet he lets some old beat up ones go now that he can start wearing his new ones
Oh yes! Now he can see them, such a game changer!
I turn my hangers around on cloths that I am having a hard time letting go of. If I wear it the hanger get turn back around correct. And if I don’t wear it after 6-12 months it has to go.
Love the shoe storage
isn't it just amazing!
So appreciate the shoe box tip. I had previously ordered boxes from Amazon but they were just too flimsy and I returned them. These look nice.
they are a little pricey, but SO worth it!
my old apartment had 2 bathrooms with only 2 of us living there, litter in the shower was VITAL for us. we didnt need two showers and it kept the litter contained
Great job and that's alot of shoes for a guy lol
Haha! Some guys love their shoes! I would love a shoe wall of boots 😁
I have 4 pr work, boots ,going somewhere and sandals lol
Random second comment. lol We live in a "tiny home" and that was something we definitely never anticipated. To clean one area, you essentially have to move everything out of it into another very vital living area. lol It is easy to lose the kitchen with all the living area stuff and still feel like you have no room in the living area to move things around and clean. -_-
OMG yes. Small spaces are a lot more work than they seem!
LOVE LOVE THE SHOES! dream display….
Right! Mine would be filled with boots. 💛
Happy Birthday!
I'll tell him, Ruth! Thank you!
The levels of consumption in the USA is STAGGERING
Hi there, am going through this series so to speak. You’re taking about shoes and throughout I’m dying to know what your own ‘runners’ or sneakers are!! LOVE them! Thank you. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
I believe the fire safety aspect of hangers has more to do with how fire fighters will pile burning things away from walls when they are actually fighting a house fire. I don't think it has anything to do with how children evacuate a burning house. In the US, people are told to get low and get out.
haha ya, I should have explained that more 🤣 and this was early 90s when they told us this but it was something about if you see smoke coming in from under your door and that you should grab your clothes off the hangers quickly and pile them by the door so that the smoke can't get into your room.
I agree about the shoe boxes! I only own 3 pair of shoes, but when I am helping someone I ask them to buy clear shoe boxes
I love the boxes! I may do that for my husband after we get settled.
I appreciate the longer videos! And understand why you might need to break some footage up due to length. You might want to consider setting up a Patreon account and offering bonus footage as part of the membership. Or I believe RUclips offers a membership option and you can share bonus footage and live streaming as perks.
No, keep on regular RUclips.
Ohhhh, I wish we could have seen the rest now. I always watch you while getting ready for church on Sunday morning. I love how the shoe organization came out. Those are the niftiest shoe boxes for sure. Okay, I’m confused by something. You said they lived in an apartment that was damaged during a storm and had to repair it after the storm. Do they own their apartment? I’ve never heard of owning an apartment. Having watched your videos I’ve noticed the people can do this they just needed you to help them get a jump start of sorts. I can’t wait to see the completion. Super excited ~ Janet 😘
I’d imagine it’s a condo, quite popular in the Miami area and people own them and pay an HOA to maintain the building.
Exactly what Fleur said!
The shoe boxes are really cool. Guys shoes due to their size take up so much space. ha
Yes, you’re correct about that re size of shoe as even a female with bigger feet needs the larger size container as well.
YES!!! My husband's clothes and shoes take up twice the amount of space as an equal amount of mine do in our suitcases. 🤪
@@SpaceMakerMethod ha😊
OMG, the SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish they fit me 🤣
... she's so funny. " We need to get this out and get rid of this but we can't do that until we move this and get rid of this .... but we can't do that until we move all this stuff, in order to get rid of that , so we can get rid of the other thing....." 🙂😁😄 I TOTALLY get it
....been there ! Lol.
Great progress. I used to tell people when I was an organizer it's going to get way worse before it gets better and that's just the nature of it that's just how it is because when you're trying to get things to where it has a semblance of order and get rid of things that you're not tied to anymore, that really have outlived their usefulness or whatever , it's a process and I would tell people.. : " it's a process and I'm not here to make you throw things away, I want you to feel comfortable , I want you to be happy with what's going on" . I wanted them involved in part of the process the same way as you do and I so admire that about you because that will inspire people number one and number two it will make them feel like they are empowered to keep things organized.
👏🏻👏🏻🙌🙂😊💜
I love everything you said! It really is such a motivation for people to do the physical and mental work of decluttering... it really is therapy and everyone has to do the work, sometimes we just need help along the way.
@@SpaceMakerMethod ... Yes. You are spot on. It is a motivation, to do the Mental ( psychological / Emotional ) work and the Physical...... it becomes Therapy. 😊😊🤗💛 so kind, your reply ...
Thank you, April and Team TSD.
Wow!👏🏻👏🏻
Did you see the final result? It's soooo good. ruclips.net/video/jTTxj-EcdUA/видео.html
Love the shoes
So dreamy right!?!
I have never in my life hear of taking clothes with you while escaping a fire. That's just ridiculous. You were taught that in school?!? That's insane!
I’m hoping it’s an isolated teacher’s advice, maybe one who’s priorities were fashion or some high end items. Still scary to know anyone passed that along to children.
Yeah we were told get out and if you happened to have pets next to you to grab them but dont go looking for them because theyll find their way out much quicker than you will so to just leave all the doors open and call them from outside.
I initially thought the same thing, but then it occurred to me that the advice may have been for situations when it is necessary to evacuate the area because of wildfires, etc., and pack belongings in preparation.
Yeah that surprised me too! We were always taught not to take anything, just get out.
I should have explained that better. It wasn't to save the clothes, they told us (in the 90s) that if there was smoke coming into the room from under the door, you could grab your clothes quickly and shove them around the door to keep the smoke from coming into the room while you get out. So essentially, if all the hangers were facing the same direction then you'd be able to grab them quickly. I think the scenario was if you were stuck in your bedroom on the 2nd floor and had to wait for the firetruck to help you evacuate, because you were too high up you could use your clothes to prevent the smoke from getting into the room and potentially save your life from smoke inhalation.
So many shoes!
I'm a little jealous!
@@SpaceMakerMethod lol, When I started decluttering I was a bit of a shoe w****. The biggest issue was that it is hard to come by cute shoes in a 12 women's. These days I am down to birkenstocks and what I call my kitchen shoes.... the non-slip closed toed, black type shoes required when working in a kitchen.
I was going to ask about the doubles of shoes.. but I know sneaker heads will buy doubles as collectibles… but, wow that closet transformation..
I didn’t notice a lot of doubles either which in a way makes sense because when you collect something you really like you tend to remember what you have
Exactly, Rebecca AND he said that he has trouble finding ones that fit. So if he finds one that works he'll buy a couple.
All those clothes and shoes, so sad. At least he was willing to collaborate with you, ask for your ask for your help and donate!!!
He loves them! But he did tell me that most of this was purchased during the pandemic and he hasn't bought any since.
That's a lot of flannel shirts for Miami.☀
🤪
Those are a lot of shoes. 😂
I'm jealous!
What is the bag you use and where can I get one please ? ❤
