I like your point about over-organizing and how you prefer functional and frugal choices over unnecessarily aesthetic and costly ones, like decanting pantry items that are behind closed doors.
I love your older kitchen...you have made it adorable and easy to use and its very cheerful! New and shiny isn't always necessary to love a kitchen.
Thank you for saying that you don’t have to run out and buy all these organizational hacks that so many are telling people to do!! You can look around our home and find plenty of things that can be used… or our can make them out of something that you might already have… thank you for your inspirational message!!
Yes! We have a lot of miss-matched containers, but they still do the job. =)
Agreed! Great video, as usual, with many tips & ideas!
I like your kitchen. It’s large, clean, organized, and above all unpretentious. I love those old cabinets, they are solid.
I live in a small older home too. Not lots of closet space, so I always have to be on top of things. Just loaded up my car with donations! Love your videos, they keep me motivated 😃
I live in my grandparent's house built in 1920. When we first moved here 36 years ago we made due with what we had. We had a closet that used to hold an ironing board and I used to hold my children's baby food. We had old drawers and closets in kitchen but we painted and cleaned. Now it looks a lot different but you can make your house functionally with what you have....It has take us a long time but it is worth it to get your house the way you want it. Love your you channel.

I Ike your idea of not being so perfectionist with keeping your home tidy and clean. Some videos I have watched do suggest buying matching containers to store food in. More money spent when I will be using the box of pasta soon anyway. Your videos don’t overwhelm me. Thank you!
Love your common sense way of living in your home. I live in an older home, many of your ideas will work for me too. Thanks
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you, Shannon, for having us go back & revisit areas! As our lives change, the organization changes too!
Great inspiration!😊
Thank you! That is very true.
I love the thoughtful storage you have added to your home, as well as the fresh, cheerful look you have created.
Never underestimate the value of lots of shelves! So much space is wasted with too much headroom per factory-installed dimensions. Yesterday, my husband added 4 more shelves (using scrap wood we had in the garage) to my tall kitchen pantry, and the storage increase was terrific - everything sorted and fitted on its own custom-height shelf. Love your videos, and your energy for minimalism, Shannon - Many Thanks! ps the green paint to match the green tile in your spice cabinet - lovely!
You have succeeded in making it "as cute as possible"! I would love to give my 1950's house a make-over like yours. It's lovely.
I love your vintage kitchen.You and your husband have really made great improvements in your home.
Bins are a game changer for me. All of my cabinets are super deep and things would get pushed to the back and lost or forgotten. Using a bin creates a “drawer” that I can easily slide in and out as needed and everything stays together.
Same here, I live in a house that was built in the 60's and there's only three small closets in my home. My kitchen and bathroom is small. So I have to be creative and I have minimal things because I don't have the space for more stuff in my home. But it's okay, I'm learning to not only be creative but mindful of what I bring into my home.
Thank you so much for all your videos! I appreciate your realistic approach. I feel that your home looks like the majority of our own homes, and you’re reminding us to be happy, content and grateful! I love your mom! I’ve also become very good at declutterring ☺️…
Yay I love hearing that =)
Encouraging decluttering, yet it looks different for everyone. That is what I like about your channel. No head swimming list to buy more stuff to put more stuff in. The less I keep, the less storage bins I need. I like that you put your baby stuff in a pretty basket readily available. I have 2 pretty baskets atop my fridge for chips, snack items. Cannot see contents as they are tall but items are easy to access.
Your home and organization habits have been a great inspiration. I like your kitchen, even though it's older, it has so much character and charm. Score on the spice rack, nice addition. I watched Grant's video when he made it. Great video, he's so funny!
Yes, the use of bins for shelves and shoe boxes & trays for drawers is my way to keep things.
Have a great week!
I love your cabinets over your closets. And your pull-out spice cabinet. Bins and drawer dividers are a must. Great ideas.
Love the vertical custom spice rack!
Thanks for keeping it real….for real people 😀
Where's mom today? You two are such a great team! Great content, it is so true, I just think you never get done decluttering, it's like laundry and the dishes, they are always waiting for us
Hi shannon, we buy some second hand good condition carton boxes, stick some paper gift wrapper to make it look appealing and use it
To organise cloths, we organise but don't tend to spend too much money on buying organizing boxes
Keeping it simple is the key.
I loved seeing all of your systems, thx for sharing!
The best way to stay organized is to have only the things you regularly use and love. Too much clutter can’t be organized and you just end up clutter-shuffling. The other way I use to stay organized is to notice where I use items and make space in that location. That may seem self-explanatory but if I use scissors in the kitchen, craft room, office and workshop, I need dedicated scissors in each spot that are easy to find and that STAY there. No stealing scissors from one location to take to another. Labeling is another great way to stay organized so everyone knows where things go.
Revisiting spaces, keep decluttering and think about how you’re space is supposed to fit your needs instead of trying to do things “the way many people do or that we are supposed to do”… those are the ways I keep my home nice, tidy and organized.
Love your practical advice! That little spice rack is adorable! Good job to both you and Grant.
🔝organized! 👏👏
🤩
Very Nice that you don't bye a lot of organization-boxes.
Your office is lovely!
Great video, thank you. Showing that you don’t have to have everything perfect like pintrest. Your home is just beautiful and looks
great. I love your kitchen ❤
Hi Shannon! You and your mom have both helped me so much with my decluttering journey! I started last year and have made huge strides! I started again right after Christmas with purging my Christmas decor and I got it down to 2 bins!!! Next year I’ll declutter it again after I decorate because I think I’ll want to minimize it more. I’ve gone thru every cabinet and closet in my house the last couple of weeks and it feels great! I do think I’ll do it again in a couple of months to see what I’m really using etc. Thank you both again for sharing your journey because I’ve been able to really relate to you both! Have a great week! Jackie ❤️
That's something else I learned living in a small house is staying organized. I like to use totes, clear bins, baskets, and trays to stay organized. Thank you for sharing your organizing tips! You give me more ideas of other ways I can organize my home. ❤️
Ok that's the world's cutest spice rack. Love it!!! ♥😊🐦
Love your ideas....do you make house calls? If yes, bring your mom. We only live in northern Vermont.
Hello Shannon, Thankyou so much for your tips ,great . Have a lovely day too 💕🤗
Thank you! You too!
I appreciate your simplified and organized home. It is a home where a family lives and has practical solutions for organization. I don’t think it is necessary to decant everything either or “color code” things . Everything in your house has a place and looks neat and attractive. Thank you for your videos!
I’ve been trying to organize a little at a time throughout my house. It is definitely a major chore. Where do you buy your dresses? I just love them. 💚They look so light and comfy.
I definitely know about living in an old house we had an ironing board cupboard and a chimney in between our kitchen and bathroom ,after removing I was able to have a skinny but tall closet in bathroom and a pantry in kitchen !The poker door for bathroom was where the ironing board cupboard was so gave us organization in those room and space in the hall !Thanks so much Shannon 💕✌🏻
Hooks are the best!!!
I love your kitchen…so cute and cozy. 😊❤️
It shows how little they needed in the 50's to have a comfy home. Small storage equals less stuff. The sustainable lifestyle we only need :)
This is so true! I think I read that the average woman in the 1950's only had like 5 dresses.
@@shannontorrens1 Yes, because they wore their quality favorites, that fit, each day and would not waste money on 'extra' clothes etc. That was called frugal housekeeping :P
Thank you. I love your practical advice. I think it’s easy to look at organizing videos and feel bad because it’s too hard to attain. I need to keep things under control realistically without driving my family nuts. Being more minimal and simple has helped all of us.
Yes to hooks!
Figure out how many you think you want and then install double
I love your videos, so helpful. When I grow up, I want to be just like you!!
You have a lot of storage spaces!
Loved this!! - Belinda 🌼
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for the motivation Shannon. I love these kinds of videos.
Great, useful, video. Thank you
If you only knew the difference you have made in my life 😂
Great Ideas !😊
Thank you! 😊
I like those perfectly organized homes with bins sort of and then again it is too neat and tidy like you should use the stuff it’s so neat. A little to OCD for me….And I am a neat person. Good video.
Every time I clean a room, I look at things and ask if I still want them. Having just the things I want and nothing extra helps me stay organized. I may only get rid of one item in a room, but this way things don't pile up.
Love your videos :) The reason I decant is because of the risk of pantry moths. Just a few years ago, we had pantry moths come into our house. It ruined most of our food storage and took us months to get rid of them. So be careful of the cardboard boxes food comes in.
Same here. I found a plastic sandwich bags of pistachios way in the back of a cupboard. There were so many pantry moths in there. I've cleaned out all of my cupboards and they have definitely dwindled. But, we still see a moth here and there. Watch your food!
Thanks for sharing!!
I scattered bay leafs all over my pantry and I haven't had that problem anymore.
I decant some food for the same reason but for others I just put more little packages of differen foods in one big plastic container,so they are safe.
For me some of those plastic organizer bins become a huge hassle since they attract dust, depending on what they are made out of. So then…I have organized it beautifully only for it to be covered in cloudy dust. LOL. So I try to find dust proof organization. Or things that if it gets dusty it’s not as noticed.
Love watching you and your mum. You’ve both been an inspiration and motivation. I hadn’t realised how much I wasn’t using and how much space I have in my cupboards and wardrobes since I’ve been de cluttering. I’ve simplified my cleaning… I’m coming up 72 .. wish I had done this years a go.
Before I sign off. I’ve been wondering Shannon if you and your mum have been affected by the recent floods. Hope you’re all safe.
Thank you! We had a lot of rain, but we were very lucky that there wasn't any flooding near our homes.
I appreciate your videos. They are very motivating!
Shannon you continue to inspire me to revisit and revamp my spaces. Love your ideas. Thank you again.
Your hubby's video for the pull out trash bin was very good. Looks like he is off to a great start. 😊
Excellent video thanks
Shannon, you always make such good sense with your tips. I agree that most people move into a space and put their items away and that's where they stay forever. I do that too. I'm trying to work on re-organizing my house this year. Thanks for all the ideas!
Thank you! I hope you are doing well.
Good luck with all your re-organizing! I hope you are having a good week.
I like your hair! I enjoy hearing your ideas as well! 😊❤
Decanting helps in removing visual clutter, so I like to do that 😊
I do too, for mostly bulk items as Shannon mentioned. Oatmeal, sugars, flour, spaghetti, chocolate chips…. Never saw the point of decanting, spices or other small things like that.
Somehow I missed your spice rack installation if you showed it before. It's brilliant! I love the concept of analyzing and customizing over time. 🌻🍄
Her husband has his own channel, Wood Glueru. In a recent video, he made and installed the spice rack.
@@lynnbleasdale5824 thank you! I've been meaning to sub to his channel. 🌻🍄
You always have the best tips. I had to laugh about the pantry items and not worrying about decanting everything and spending money on identical jars. When I see this; I think my pantry looks kind of messy; but just keep like items together in their bags or boxes and keep on top of it. I do use bins and drawer trays in some areas of the house.
Now I’m thinking of all the places I can add hooks in my home 😂
I like to revisit cupboards that I have already decluttered to see if I can let go of other rarely used items. Love your videos by the way!
I have started putting some wreaths in kitchen trash bags to store. I have a clothing rack in my basement, so I think I’m going to get some S hooks and hang the wreaths from there so they are off the floor.
Yes, great idea!
Great video (as always)! ☺️🩷
I love watching your videos!🖤 Today you inspired me to take my pantry. I was supposed to do it last week but decided to re-organize my Holiday storage closet in my basement instead
Looooooovely Shannon, such a nice home. Looks so practical and nurturing for your family. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video!
This was great!!!
Great advice!
Gracias
Great video. Do you have locks on your kitchen cupboards for your toddler?
WE have washing lines in England for wet items.
❤
Got some ideas, the shelf for species, got a gap in kitchen up top, that the draw can go. Thanks 😘
Where did you get that organizer that holds your notebooks? I need that. I forget about them if they are on a bookshelf, but if I lay them around without a home I loose them or have to spend time looking for them. I need that.
love all of the custom storage. I am shocked you can get away with dusting those open shelves only one time a month! lucky...I have to dust once a week
I probably should do it more lol, but for some reason we don't seem to get a lot of dust in this area.
💗
❤👍
I agree how you don’t have to decant everything and to repurpose items we have already to help organize.
I totally agree about not taking that time to decant foods. Why bother?
I watch you all the time and realized I never paid attention to a refrigerator. Where is yours? Lol
We moved it a little further down so we have more counter space.
Are you planning to remodel your kitchen to include a dishwasher? I thought you mentioned it once.
You just answered my question 😊 LOL
Where is the refrigerator ?
Do you not have a refrigerator?

I presume you don't have earwigs where you live..if we left wet towels outside on wall ,the earwigs would live under them on the wall...they like damp places..they are a creepy horrible bug.
You''re fantastic -- I like the way you approach your "stuff" with practical solutions. I also enjoyed the video you did about your life up until this point -- keep up the good work! There are lots of us out here that look forward to and enjoy your videos!
