What an excellent job the contractor did inside the storage area! And, your storage doors are fabulous, too! The declutters were very satisfying.❤ B&B are the cutest little kittens!
Great hidden space! If you got those big hooks used for holding bikes, (or something similar) you could put up several to hold the long scraps of wood, freeing up more floor space
Great new storage area, jealous! Just a thought on hot press door, why not add a lower set of hooks for niece & nephews coats & your shirt coats. Just a thought. Cheers, Paula in Boise, Idaho, USA.
Make yourself some moving trollies for the storage space. It's just a wooden frame with swivel wheels in the corners. Will make getting things out and moving around easier.
In Canada we have a Utility Room generally. In it you’ll have a furnace etc. it’s kept separate from the other storage. And most homes have a Linen Closet. They’re small but usually tall, with shelves where we store our extra bedding and towels. The United States is the same.
I love your channel..... maybe put the small table that is upside down in the large tin container, at the end of the closet, were you were thinking about putting your Christmas stuff. Switch what is in the tin with what into the red container (that has the rolls), put the rolls inside the tin container, that way they are out of the way and lay flat. Put what is in the tin in to the red container, making it possible to close the red container, making it possible to stack another box on top of the red container. Label the red container so you know what is in it. Just a suggestion. Have a great day! Put the tin on top of the small table, if it fits.
I also store my leftover pannelling wood, picture rails and architraves behind the sofa😂 but my sofa is longer so hides them really well. It jeeps them flat too so stops them from warping.
In Texas we use a radiant barrier for attics and storage places to keep the heat out of the house, it is made of insulated material with a zipper to allow access. It makes a noticeable different in your electric bill.
Hello dear Catherine and kittens 👋😊 I will repeat myself, but I insist that you are amazing, great, inspiring and VERY smart 😊👍 I really admire how hardworking you are. You have a beautiful place there! Kittens are magical.🤗💓😺😺✨ Cute❣️ THANK YOU very much, I wish you all the best and I greet you from the bottom of my heart. Have a nice time. ❤️🌼☘️ With love Maťa from Slovakia 🇸🇰
@@DaintyDiaries A big THANK YOU dear Catherine. I like you and your channel. I only write what I feel and you certainly deserve support. Thank you for being👋😊💕☘️🌼
Hi Catherine your eaves cupboard has great storage. Your contractor did a great job. I feel so much better after a declutter as well. I call it an airing cupboard. Bán & Beag are so cute. Have a lovely weekend 😊
In your bedroom, where your loveseat is located, have you considered building an enclosed window seat in that space instead of cutting into the two walls on each side of the space? A window seat would provide you a place to sit and look out the window but also provide storage as well in the bottom part of the bench.
I call my airing cupboard the hot press now, after seeing two of your previous videos where you tidy it up. I am glad that your hot press gets in a state as much as mine after a while 😅 x
Firstly... A 40 minute video. ❤. Secondly decluttering heaven, 😊and lastly Farrow and Ball do a paint colour called Setting Plaster so not painting it is the height of fashion ..! 🤣 It looks great and the kitties will love investigating. Looking forward you sorting the other 2 areas 💪
I personally have so much organization and decluttering to do, I will be busy till next Christmas. Love your new storage area. Love your fur babies. Love you and your chatty videos. 💜Heather
When we were kids my cousin lived in a place where there was some space like that behind her room and we liked to play in there. When she was a teenager she just threw all her stuff in there when vistors were coming 😅 A fast way to clean the room 😉 Have a nice week 🐈💕🐈
Have you thought of framing out the rest of your wall like you did in your living room. Then the doors would disappear and blend into the wall more…..Naree x
You know dear Catherine that I love watching EVERYTHING you post, but watching your babies grow , play, and take over their new home is so entertaining and precious! So cure how they follow their momma around! I’m so happy your have kittens in your life again! Also, I donate all of my craft and party supplies to our woman’s shelter here in Sacramento, California. They love it and they truly use them. So please excuse me while I declutter my craft room….again! Be blessed my friend! 💖🌷🦋
Your new storage looks fantastic. Your airing cupboard is also great storage. If you used vacuum bags for your outdoor cushions it would give you even more room!! x
I am a minimalist, and decluttering is still something I have to do occasionally. Stuff just reproduces itself or something. It's one of life's mysteries!
Really like your new space. Enjoyed the decluttering. I'm feeling a bir suffocated when I look at how much stuff is on the walls. Thanks for the inspiration! Love the kittens. They must be great company. 😊
You are just joy Catherine! I love your content! I feel I am always decluttering but this could be because i hold onto things for way too long so of course I have a collection. I have been offloading alot to my local charity store and am sooo glad. Oranges look amazing 🍊
Seeing your dear kitties in the new storage space reminded me of one of our cats who loved getting into a similar cupboard (house with dormer windows). She would find a hole, get into the dry wall, go to other end of house through to the garage and fall through the thin ceiling! She was ok, cats are resilient. Cheers from New Zealand😺
Could you please share what type of shoes you're wearing in this video? They look so warm, comfy, and cozy. I need new ones for the winter and those look perfect.
Growing up, we lived in a house that was built in 1889 and our little room like yours was called the attic, later called our closet, that's where we hung our clothes and YES it was COLD in there. It was GREAT for storage!
The cabinet at the top of the stairs would make a great place for linens. Yes, I too like to go through our home and box up for donating items no longer being used. This includes decor. I try to do this a couple times during the year. Less is more! Sewing items including fabric can be used by neighborhood community centers. The center near to us offers free classes for students wanting to learn how to sew.
I dry all my washing in my ‘hot press’ in the winter. I plug a dehumidifier in there and it dries so quickly because it’s such a small space. An old cot side makes a great hanger!
storage cubby looks amazing :) loving the kitten content - they are adorable 🖤🤍think i'd leave the Christmas bits in loft if you can manage - more room in the storage for craft bits :) x
I love learning about your progress! I love crafts but I’m scared when it comes to measuring, the math part, ugh Love those kitties, I have 2 new ones as well, plus another who’s about 3yrs old, sure helps with the mood in the house! Keep being cozy!
Catherine, have you considered vacuum bags for your fabric scraps, bedding and soft furnishings, they save so much space. Lovely video with your gorgeous kittens x
In Netherlands we have a meter cupboard for all the heating pipe work etc. The heating boiler is in the attic or top floor. We also have gas central heating but no immersion. Have a hot press in my home in Ireland haha
Very nice job, Catherine! I enjoy your videos and seeing a slice of Ireland! It is on my bucket list to come visit Ireland someday! Have you thought of open shelves on either side of your large office drawer system? Which is awesome, by the way!! It does seem like an opportunity to add a bit of storage to that spot. 😍 😎
Love your storage area!!!! It came out beautiful. I say definitely do your 2 other areas. Especially to have your Christmas decor to be able to be taken out of your attic storage spot.😃
I work my leave in with public holidays to get a month of every year at Christmas purely to do my declutter by Hogmanay. Out with the old, in with the new.
Ahhh such a kiff space for you! Storage matters so much in smaller homes. And well done for getting stuck into tidying up. It frees up so much mental space for me when I do it. Lotsa love from South Africa
Have spent the last week clearing my life...removed everything that was weighing me down ..living in a tiny house made me realise having my craft art supplies , classic wardrobe pieces, necessary usable linen kitchen items the whole place now just perfect for me..I feel liberated and organised..😊
If you make more storage then you will have the space for Christmas decore with in reach. Can't wait for the Sunday garden video. I've gotten the gardening bug from you and Karen. 😅
At 53, I've been a Potterhead for some years, the films are great (with a series planned), but I really recommend the books, they are extremely funny and have loads that were not included in the films, such as Peeves the Poltergeist. I own lots of Replicas, and it's getting to be a headache displaying it. Creating Extra storage would be a bonus, but I live in a Maisonette so it's just not possible.
Oh and where I live, in Malta we have two Water Heaters, a small one in the kitchen over the sink and a larger one in the bathroom to heat the water there.
Always luv Ur. Videos Catherine... Must be the time of year but. I decided to sort out the garden shed but think I overdid the de cluttering can't find my new bulbs I've to plant for spring🥴 I've also sorted out my wardrobe You motivate me when I'm feeling lazy😂.. I'm a dog person ...a bit scared of cats but I luv watching Ur kittens playing...tk u for sharing Ur day with us...an older follower.for many years now..🍋

You’re so cute💕
I love you ❤ you have the best personality ever,. Those kittens are just darling and will bring you so much joy !
You are so kind x
Loooove your pink sofa
Your contractor was a real champ working in such a tiny, very tight space. Well done Sir! Well done !!!! 🍂🍁🍃Happy Fall🦃🍃🍁🍂
He did a great job! 😍
What an excellent job the contractor did inside the storage area! And, your storage doors are fabulous, too! The declutters were very satisfying.❤ B&B are the cutest little kittens!
Thank you 🙏🏼 the two guys were so tall as well, they really struggled physically with this one, so I’m so grateful
Try to use your SAD lamp only in the morning. Any later and it might keep you awake at night. ❤- Frances
Using every nook & cranny to maximize storage space is so important in small houses.
Absolutely 😍 it makes all the difference 😍
I love ❤️ your cottage! It’s beautiful 😍! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
I love the extra storage space! I agree. There is no worse feeling than your sock falling down! In your boots is the worst! 🧦 💗
If you have a product called walls-to-paint, you wouldn’t need to skim with plaster. It’s our favorite wall-covering.
This will be the place to be for the kitten, surely.🐈🐈😀🙋♀️👍
A cold and gloomy day is the perfect time to go through everything It’s my time to deep clean and declutter.
Yes! Perfect days for decluttering 🙏🏼
Great hidden space! If you got those big hooks used for holding bikes, (or something similar) you could put up several to hold the long scraps of wood, freeing up more floor space

Your house looks so cosy with the fire, bet your adorable KITTENS will love sleeping near it. Great job done for you in that space .
They adore the fire 🔥 so good ☺️
Catherine!!!! I am scandalized! You haven't read, or at least watched, Harry Potter?
I need to lie down.
Hi Catherine your eaves cupboard has great storage. Your contractor did a great job. I feel so much better after a declutter as well. I call it an airing cupboard. Bán & Beag are so cute. Have a lovely weekend 😊
Thanks Jo! You too, can you believe it’s november already, where are the months going to
“But it’s organized in my head” Girl, that’s what matters! 😂 Oh, and rafters is the word you’re looking for!
That’s the only way 🤣🤣
We have a gambrel cape and did the same.
In your bedroom, where your loveseat is located, have you considered building an enclosed window seat in that space instead of cutting into the two walls on each side of the space? A window seat would provide you a place to sit and look out the window but also provide storage as well in the bottom part of the bench.
And she could still put doors on the face of the walls to create storage space behind those walls.
Thanks
Thank you so much for the support!
@@DaintyDiaries Total pleasure from a fellow Irish artist up north…your videos are just fantastic!!😁👍
We opened ours and slid in built in bookcases, caulked and trim - no drafts and display/book area
Trusses are the name of the wooden slopey bits 😂
I call my airing cupboard the hot press now, after seeing two of your previous videos where you tidy it up.
I am glad that your hot press gets in a state as much as mine after a while 😅 x
Those hot press fairies just clutter it up 😆
Firstly... A 40 minute video. ❤. Secondly decluttering heaven, 😊and lastly Farrow and Ball do a paint colour called Setting Plaster so not painting it is the height of fashion ..! 🤣 It looks great and the kitties will love investigating. Looking forward you sorting the other 2 areas 💪
Oh I know that colour and I LOVE it
Nice job. Squeeze out that storage girl!!!
The kittens are growing so fast. They are loving their new home ❤

Love seeing the beautiful kitten so cute. The cat attic will be great for exploring for them. Kittens do love a box 🐾🐾
They certainly do 😆🎁📦📦📦
The sloping bit in your roof is called the eaves 😊 It is going to give you some great storage space. 👍
Yes in Wales it's an airing cupboard,I like the term not press sounds better some how ,love watching your beautiful kittens
I am a minimalist, and decluttering is still something I have to do occasionally. Stuff just reproduces itself or something. It's one of life's mysteries!
I hear ya, I blame the fairies 🧚♀️

Put large hooks in the top of your new storage and slide the trim in them to keep them out of the way but easily accessible.
Well done ! Love the artwork. Would look lovely framed.
Yes decluttering helps clean the heart and soul as well
Clear house clear mind 🤣
Could you please share what type of shoes you're wearing in this video? They look so warm, comfy, and cozy. I need new ones for the winter and those look perfect.
Of course, they are from Ugg ❤️
The cat attic looks great. Have you considered instead of breaking into the other wall to just build out a storage bench with drawers in the nook?
We call your hot press an airing cupboard in England x
Can you store outdoor things in your green house?
No space, as it fills with plants in winter, also more moisture so risk of mould on fabric items ❤️
You are a delight ❤. With what is going on in the world you brighten my day😘. Much love and hugs🤗
Thank you 🙏🏼 I appreciate that so much

Ahh the world of decluttering!! I am hard at work myself. I am clearing my house and have 2 storage units to get through! It can be stressful.
Yes. It can be so overwhelmed Cliff 🙏🏼 good luck with your decluttering
Your paintings are beautiful
trellises 🙂
Great video as always. Congratulations on your new space 🥳 can I just ask what song is playing around 04:25?
B& B both growing❤❤
Getting so big 🥹
👍Well done. Your oranges look great. I finished my first art course and I learned color theory too.

I struggle with the maths part as well, my best advice, make loads of mistakes and keep trying, that’s how you learn 🙏🏼
Love the new space. It will come in handy for sure. ❤🎉❤ Your art is impressive . You can do a piece and hang it In the living room .
Thank you! 😊
What a nice storage space you have now! I encourage you to check out those other two spaces, and yes, you can handle it, no problem. Cute kitties!
You're so lovely! You inspire us to tackle projects - large and small - and create a happy home like yours! Thanks for all your content! We love you!
This 🙏🏼 this is so kind, thank you x

LOVE this 👏🏻 well done ❤️ sometimes living in a smaller space has its perks, we physically can’t hold onto things any longer and we let them go
Are they called beams?
Do you mean the roof eaves?
If you make more storage then you will have the space for Christmas decore with in reach. Can't wait for the Sunday garden video. I've gotten the gardening bug from you and Karen. 😅

Love this! Now, I feel motivated to tackle my clutter.

I’d keep things just away from the roof side to prevent damp. Just so things aren’t touching the roof side.
Its insulated xx
