You have lots of wall space on wall beside you. Lots of good hanging systems for supplies, file folder s, etc.
House #2 is lovely!! I think your apartment is nicer than house #1.
I’m hoping it’s time for another sister declutter episode ❤
Course he’s not really supporting he’s looking for possible snacks 🫢 my cats do this when I sort a cupboard or the fridge 🤣
Absolutely! It's really motivational to see both sisters at work.
@@lucyroberts2800 yes my cats do the same 🐱.
@@Xiroi87 and they make me laugh 😊
I feel like we should “help” her declutter on repeat just so we can get a happy dose of light humor. 🎉
Definitely House #2. For the relative price, so much bigger, character, bigger rooms...sweet and charming
Dear Carla, I am a single full time working mum. So many days, after my boy is in the bed, I am so tired... I don't want to do anything anymore :(.. .. But then I say "Comon girl, Carla will clean with you and support you" :) Sooooo many times I have clean the kitchen in the night with you, fold my laundry and decluttered a spot... You can't imagine how much you support me ❤. Thank you for the great content, your energy and the great music choices everytime 😘
I definitely loved house number two. Much more storage space and is better planned living spaces 😊
Carla!!!! Come to the Chicago suburbs, you can buy yourself TWO houses with your preapproval. HOLY MOLY! I knew California was expensive, but house #1 blew me away, just like you said it's smaller than your current apt for $685k???? WOW!!! House #2 has much more charm - very pretty! Good luck. I look forward to see your house hunting journey. -Lety from Chicago
Yes I was shocked at the prices myself haha I've never lived in a major city though.
For some reason I thought she was in Atlanta and I was shocked at the prices but then I’ve never house hunting there! In California it makes more sense but thanks, no thanks! LoL! Loved all of the landscaping though!
I agree wowza on the prices! Embrace the snow and come east! 12 acres, 900 sq foot home $185,000!
Please continue to take us house hunting - I love it!
Absolutely house number 2. Much more bang for your buck. That first place didn't even have a closet for the principal bedroom. I know it's only you and Samson but the 2nd place actually felt like a house and didn't require you to hike up or down a hill to get to it. That would get old *very fast*, especially when you were carrying groceries.
I think the closet in house #2 is lined in cedar, not wood paneling. Keeps the moths away. Both homes are darling! I know you'll find the perfect one.
I love house #2. Having a separate work area would be great for you, especially if you work from home.
Definitely number 2, love the character kitchen and the flow, and not too many steps for Samson. His coat is looking so glossy and healthy btw! Handsome boy x
You’ve been a great inspiration for me.
I’m 72 years old so things don’t happen overnight.
2 weeks ago 1800gotjunk picked up my year long clear out - feels good to have empty space - I don’t drive or have people to help so that was my option.
Now on my 7th week of Factor meal delivery - I’m eating way better and haven’t done DoorDash since November - cancelled yearly membership so by that and not ordering I can afford Factor meals.
Thank you so much for all your help!
You don’t know me but by being on RUclips I feel support and Love.
Hope you’re able to get a house with no stairs so Sampson and you can be more comfortable.
Great job getting back with the work out!
Pretty flowers!
Take care.
🙏🏻🕉💙✝️❤️🕊🪷🐾🐾
Wow, thank you so much. Your message inspired me right back! Way to go with getting the big pick up and making things work for you. Also kicking the DoorDash habit ain’t easy so congrats.😍❤️
I love your comment. Isn’t it such a relief to watch the 1-800 JUNK truck roll away with things that have felt like a burden? One of the things I had them take was a massive oak desk I just hated, way too big and no one sat at it, it just took up space. I felt for the 1-800JUNK employees having to move that monstrosity, I tipped them well and thanked them profusely. A year later I’m still grateful it’s gone and hope it has a new home where it’s used and appreciated, I was told they do re-home items when they aren’t in bad shape.
Congratulations on the changes you’ve made, you must feel better on many levels.
I bought a house back in April for my baby dog. I was tired of walking him in the busy city streets so I bought a house with a huge fenced yard he could run around in. He loves it. And I love that he's safe. Good luck 🤞🏼
That is awesome!exactly what I want!!
I'm in shock at the house prices out there. My gosh, what a tough time to be house hunting. Definitely house #2... I could hear your excitement and positive feelings about that one through the voiceover!
I'm also in shock over the price, but for the opposite reason. I can't believe she can find livable houses in California that are under $1million. I'm in BC and teardowns in bad areas, with mold, asbestos or a history as a drug house go for $1.1million or more very quickly because a minimal lot is worth that much.
Still, I would not recommend first time home buying with these interest rates! House prices aren’t coming down enough, so unless you’re paying cash, I’d wait at least a year.
Then on top of these outrageous home prices comes big property taxes! U gg. Good luck with your house hunting in Los Angeles.
I really love how real and down to earth your cleaning / daily projects are. 💜😊
Hi Carla - maybe someone has already suggested this but I use those thin plastic cutting boards as fridge shelf liners. So easy to just take out and wash off! Especially if something spills on just one spot. The large size ones fit perfectly on either side of each shelf!
That's a good idea - thank you for sharing!
I use plastic shelf liners.
House No 2 by a mile! I adore spanish style homes, and that one was adorable.
Yeah I think the bathrooms in house 2 were way way way nicer than house 1. House 1 bathroom was very millenial meh. House 2 had gorgeous vintage tiles and charm.
Love the new desk setup. Cords are the bane of my existence! They are impossible. I have my desk calendar hung up on the wall to get it off my desktop - I like a minimalist look too.
Home prices are just insane right now. I'm in the Seattle area and they are almost just as bad here now as they are in LA. It's awful.
It is crazy!! And doesn’t seem like it’s ever gonna go down. Really wish I could’ve bought a a decade ago things were literally half the price!
Oh... cords.... so annoying. I am usually well-organized, but when it comes to cords, I can't think and I feel stuck. So agree with you on that one.
2 is the best for older pets. You have to think about if you're going to stay at a place for a long time. As you get older the steps become a problem if you get sick or hurt.
House number two checks all the boxes!
The gym workouts are really paying off, you look great! Exciting to be planning/preparing to buy a house, and I thoroughly enjoyed the prospective house tours. Wonderful to see Samson, such a sweetie! He, too, is looking great! Thanks for the video
Carla you are such a an inspiration! Great Job on your grocery choices! Nothing but healthy nutritious body fuel. And still kicking a$$ and taking names at the gym. You go girl ! House 2 was fabulous with all that vintage retro tile - show stopper ! Thanks for all your hard work sharing your videos and life with us ❤️
Definitely 2! I love that they didn't destroy the bathroom ❤
Omg, house 2 is so lovely….it looks really spacious too. That would be my pic.
I am so nosey when it comes to homes. I’m just going to love your house hunting expedition ❤️❤️
I liked the first house better. The bigger the house, the more cleaning and maintenance it requires. The first house would support you in your goal to live minimally and the stairs would keep you fit. 🙂 The first house also seems to be in a better shape/newer, but I could be mistaken. I am kinda sad that when you move, you will loose the beautiful trees in front of your bedroom window... That filtered green light that bathes your bedroom is so beautiful. 💖
Samson apparently has problems with stairs, including the stairs at Carla's existing place, so house 1 would be quite problematic for him on that basis. There's only about 450 sq ft difference between the 2 places (so not a huge difference in actual maintenance) but the 2nd one shows like it was at least twice the size. Layout really does matter. And I'll take a well-maintained, but closer to original, space over a quickly reno'd one almost any day. Too many horror stories about contractors or house flippers who made things look really new and pretty, while cutting corners on safety or code requirements. I'd have a *lot* of questions about that first one and its history.
@@liisaking1247 Oh, poor Samson... good point!
I would pick house #2, so much more bang for your buck! I liked the flatter yard as well. Thanks for taking us along to see them. 😊
Hello Carla & Samson
I love your channel, you are so inspiring to me and have encouraged me to start my declutter journey. I would start and then get stressed about the amount I need to do and stop I love that you tell us just start small even if it's a drawer. I especially love your ‘closing the kitchen’ each night, it's a wonderful feeling to walk into the kitchen each morning and see it clean and tidy.
Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
Oh, you are just the best. Thank you so much!!😍❤️
House #2 definitely 👍🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼.
I love house #2, it’s so spacious. Samson says no to all those steps in #1! Wondering if you have any regrets about donating your old white desk. As I declutter I tend to hold on to the “maybe” things thinking I might regret decluttering. Do you ever find that happening?🥰
Sampson's side eye is just too funny! Just like my husky. Way to get things done! 💪
The second house is perfect! The steps on number one house would get old. Especially carrying groceries.
The second house is so clean and airy, and bright!
Whoa, house #2 by a mile. Love the historic tile and the charm, and better space by far. But, I can’t afford either. 😂 Hey, if it wouldn’t bother you to have it there, you could get some Velcro tabs or glue dots or whatever, and hang your calendar up to the right of you on the wall so you can create some more clear space on the desk, and still have easy visual access to the calendar.
Loved house number two. It’s so charming and the bathrooms are beautiful. Samson would love that yard❤
Love your new office space and that chair looks so comfy!! Maybe you could hang your calendar right next to your desk on the wall just so it's still near by but off your desk?
Carla love your channel! House #2. As you get older you don’t want all those steps. We have a duplex. My husband lived in one side when I met him and the rent did cover the mortgage. We got married and rent both sides now. Isn’t it amazing how much impact landscaping can have?
I was planning to watch a movie but saw you uploaded a new video. These always make my day. I like both houses. They both have different things about them that I like but for me it would be more practical to go with the first one. Working from home this type of house would force me to walk more which would only be a benefit.
For one person and a dog I would definitely take house number 1. The landscape, the bathroom and the view. I think it should be more about quality.
Definitely not the first one, it's very expensive to fix things like stairs that shift and eventually need fixing. Not at all fun to go down all those stairs just to get to your yard.
She has said Samson has a hard time with stairs now. ❤ She probably just doesn’t want all the stairs for him.
Definitely house number two. Hang in there and you were right . House number 1 has way too many stairs. I am confident that you will find your dream house. Have a great day!
First I have to say Samson is a sweetie. So cute. As for the houses #2 was my pick. The first one was to choppy in my opinion and all the stairs UGH. LOL But the second one was you. I could see you living there.
I pick #2, also. I have 1 bathroom. I live alone, but without going into TMI, I found out that 2 bathrooms would've been extremely beneficial. I also didn't like all the stairs at the 1st place.
Not gonna lie, I get so happy to see your new videos!! Keep doing what you're doing hugs!
Also, im with you #2 is absolutely breathtaking!
house #2 personally, but both were gorgeous in their own right
Second house is the one to buy-flat lawn would be nice for Samson. A garage for car , lawn mower, etc. You could set up a workout area some where in house. Best wishes in your house sselection.
Everytime I see Samson look at the camera I just melt.. He’s such a sweet and gentle dog ❤️
And definitely house #2, the first house looked very impractical with all those steps. I’m just surprised how expensive those homes are and they aren’t even mansions 😅 if you pay that much here you’d have a mansion with 6 bedrooms haha
Oh - house #2! Those bathrooms and the tiled kitchen counter were so charming. That was fun. I house-hunted for at least a year before we bought - mainly stalking homes online and going to the occasional open house. Hoping you find your perfect place!
I can't wait for the video where you announce that you bought a house!
Dream moment when that day comes!!
I could definitely see you and Samson in house #2. Roomy, charming and had a nice zen feel. Definitely good to look around and research.
Great desk area! Could you hang the calendar on the wall to give you a little more space? Love your videos!!!
Hi Carla, so nice to see you house hunting. House 2 looked more spacious. But could be too spacious for 1 person. You really deserve your own house. I am excited to see what you buy and how you decorate it will minimalistic theme. Would u like to share your work out regime and dietary choices while your goal is to have a fit body this year in a new video?
#2. House. And you could turn the breakfast nook into an office so the 2nd bedroom is your guest room
Definitely the second house... it was lovely.
Number 2, definitely. Number 1 was cute, but all those steps ! Also, with the low ceilings, it felt chlostraphobic. I did like the landscaping at Number 1, but you would be able to add that to most gardens. I love looking at houses. 😊
House nr 2🎉 just so nice for Samson and i think the style fits you Carla❤
Hey,
Love watching your videos, the music is always so good!!!!
House #1 is cute but to small and all these steps for this price!!!!
#2 is better, but you’re at the beginning it’s good to look around and find out what s on the market and how you feel at the diffrent locations.
Carla, you’re such an inspiration.
🥲🥲thank you ❤️
Loving the office setup. It would be wonderful to see a 30" x 40" picture of your sister on the wall behind you. That way you can feel her looking over your shoulder as you work.
I would take house #2. I think it’s a better investment and it would be better for Samson. If I’m correct I think he has some mobility issues and the first house had so many stairs. The prices are a lot better than I thought they’d be. I’d be happy to be living in California in a home like this.🥰
I think wait for more options. House #1 has to much stairs, #2 is so much to clean. Maybe a mix of 1 and 2 will be the best. Take your time to find the wright one.
Carla, when you film with your camera, turn it on its side…to get a wide view…
2 lovely homes. Love the last home!
You might want to try writing the expiration dates on your cartons big and bold and facing so you can see them. I just thought of this now. I am going to try it myself!😊
I take a sharpie and write the date out (usually 7-10 days for my almond milk) cheese and all others with an exp date so I have it on top in big black letters so I can see at a glance when I need to finish it by. Saves a lot of tears so I don't waste food😢
That’s a great hack!!
I like number two. One was spread over so many stairs, and with the second house, you'll appreciate having a guest room. I enjoy your videos, and of course, Samson. ♥️
I love watching Samson take you for your morning walk! 😅❤ I did the same with my desk in my office area - my back is to the wall and I face into the room. I don’t like facing a wall while I work. House #2 for sure.
as I am a single woman with a dog house no 1 would be it. Definitely. It has everything I need plus a yard plus privacy. And it's an incentive to not keep too much stuff
I think house 2 for the size, just seems more livable, and I loved the office nook. It was cute and more spacious.
I prefer the second house, of course. But where is it? I’m north of the border. We don’t have orange trees at the moment. We have snow. 17:45
If you could swing it, house #2 all the way!! Both homes were charming 😊
Definitely house #2 It’s so cute!❤️😊
Thanks for the gentle encouragement to continue restarting my exercise. I can't fathom those prices in LA. Yikes!
Number two, hands down 🎉
I loved house number 2. Better storage place and better for Samson . Take care💖
Love house 2. It’s so charming ❤
I would definitely pick house #2!❤
I'm currently preparing to purchase a townhome.
Thanks for the fridge clean out inspiration, it’s been something I’ve been putting off. It is so satisfying though to have a clean fridge! Love how you captured the “Beware of Dog” sign and then showed sweet Sampson! I just love him! He has so much character! Your new desk setup looks so nice! I loved the charm and character of the second house. It seemed more spacious, had that cute fireplace and that yard for Sampson.
How cute you said that!
"If I can do this, a toddler can do this."
😅❤
Edit: Maybe you could put the calendar thingy off the desk on the wall next to it.
Great idea to start your research now. The more you look at homes, whether in, above or below your price range, you learn something every time. When you run into. your dream deal you will be ready and KNOW, not wonder, if it is good for you. :)
Nice video. I liked both houses, but number 2 was way better. As someone who has had knee surgery, I agree, don't get all the stairs. I have difficulty with them. Didn't think I would. But I do. If I was to move, I'd definitely get something with no stairs.
That's a cedar closet. You never see those anymore, except in vintage houses. And, this is a great vintage house. So many awesome vintage features.
House number 1 would be great as an AirBnB for people who stay 1-3months for study & business but not as a permanent home due to the stairs.
House number 2 almost felt a little too big for living and maintaining (!) alone although I do agree it's very well done and thought out.
I can't believe I missed this when you put it out. This one in particular proves we're twin sisters, even though I'm a 62 year old white woman from Ohio. 😂 Our fridgee's are mirror images. lol. See ya soon, Jen
The most important thing with me buying my own place, that I can say after living here 5 years:
To be able to comfortably afford it, even with rates going up. It's much better to buy something smaller, or with a part that you can rent out, and/or that needs a bit of work, than having everything I wanted from day 1. The peace of mind I have living here, i never have to worry about finance, even now that I have quit my corporate job.
Hi Carla, I love your videos. I am from Ireland. I loved seeing real Irish butter when u were cleaning out your fridge. There is nothing like real butter. X
You should stick the calendar to the wall, less desk clutter
House #2 - so much character & charm - loved it.
If you work online I would get out of California... So expensive... If there isn't a closet in the room then it can't be considered a bedroom. At least not in the state I live in.
House #2 is perfect for you Samson 🤎🤎
#2 love the character! Plus no steps!! Major plus!! As my father would say blessings on you!! Pam
House number 2, based solely on the colored tiles throughout the home. I loved it.
I personally prefer house # 2🤩
Maybe a pendent hanging light above the desk
Yes number 2! Samson would luuuuve the garden area! 🩷
Omg! I love your dog with that sassy side eye!!! Sooo adorable 😍
Number 2 House for sure.
I lived the charm
Of house #1. But both were gorgeous
Yep, house number two seems more functional.
House #2 is so pretty 😍
I prefer house number 2. Samson is adorable! ❤️ Always watching to see what you are doing 🤣
Hi Carla. Im so inspires watching you. May I offer a suggestion for your migraines? If you would consider adding just a pinch! Of Celtic sea salt to your water you will be able to hydrate at the cellular level, which will help reduce inflammation. As for the house search , I am in the same process. I want you to go back and watch your video. Count the number of times you use the word "little" as a qualifier. Trust your instincts. I love you to have more room because you always want to buy you 2nd home, first. Because you cannot count on the market.❤❤❤
Cannot wait to see your new hair color!!! Congratulations on new desk!!! How has your sister been doing in her reorganized home???? She got rid of lots!!!!
Loved house #2. I could imagine Samson in that big patio ❤
