I’m so excited for the tea organizer!! I seriously have 2 shelves full in a cabinet about the same size as yours 😂 I mentioned it to my mom & she wants one too!! Thanks for all you do!!
Do not compare your life to the highlight reels you may see on RUclips, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest. Know that what is shared is that there is not the complete reality of those people's lives and focus instead on your own happiness and blessings. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.
❤️nothing wrong with being curious as to how others do things…what better way to get ideas⁉️ Love this video and Instagram, Pinterest are wonderful resources‼️
Your house looks amazing and so do you!! ❤ Your growth has been amazing to watch. And you’re still the same funny, authentic person you’ve always been ❤
Discovering your content over the past few weeks has been lifechanging for me. I'm a caregiver for multiple family members on top of working full-time and I was getting so burned out and overwhelmed. Your insights--particularly about my bee/cricket organizing style--are helping me not just organize my space, but also organize and manage my time, which makes me feel so much better. Thank you and I hope Hot Mess House comes back with more seasons because it's the best show HGTV has produced in years :-)
Thank you for showing it’s possible to have an organized and tidy home with having three kids!!! I also appreciate you sharing the size of your home as it helps to see how relatable our own situation is. Glad to hear you also are doing well in a smaller home- that seems so much easier than a larger home.
Hi Cass, i love your parents Chihuahuas! We have 3 Chihuahuas and they are very sweet TO THEIR PEOPLE ONLY. They don't like lots of loud noises and want to relax and cuddle alot. It may take a little while for them to warm up to you. Let them come to you. They are great pets.
I love the tour, Cas. It really helps tie together the whole picture of the room by room organizations you've done through the years. I especially love how you dealt with home office storage, so I really learned a lot. Thank you so much! 💜
It helps when all of your family members are on the tidy bandwagon and puts things back or away. I've tried so many organization projects around my house and they ends up as a dump all bins or containers. Even if I go in and reorganize in a short time they slowly end up filled with everything. I decided to keep my areas tidy to keep my sanity.
This part! My eldest son and I can keep order, everyone else is just messy and careless, husband included. In a house with 8 people and a dog, you can imagine what it looks like most of the time 😒
Declutter more. They will still leave things out but maybe not in such a large amount that it is overwhelming. My daughter I swear I go in her room once a week and come out with a garbage bag full of things to donate or just trash. Some people are just messy no matter what 🤦🏻♀️
I really enjoy your content and sense of humor Cas- May I suggest you please stop calling yourself lazy and unorganized- you're so successful at this business you've created, you didn't get here by being lazy and unorganized. Self love always :)
I work at our local Goodwill Store, and I am a hanger and a folder. I am a pro at both, and I love that our store is so much better organized since I took both of these things over a year ago. Also, I swear by proper folding and hanging for EVERYTHING!! My mom taught her 3 now adult kids well!
Compared to the regular houses we have in England UK, you’re space is huge!! It’s all about working with what you have and learning to appreciate it too ❤
As a Dutch person it is hilarious to see what you find small. Multiple living rooms, bathrooms, storage rooms, an enormous kitchen. You'd have to be a multimillionaire to have that. 🤑 Thanks for the tour of your home. Your bug system really helped me. Groetjes
I'm from Australia, we have huge homes compared to UK and Europe, and even I agree with you. It's crazy what North Americans consider "small spaces". Perhaps they need to declutter. 1400sft = a "small home"??! The laundry - in a home with space and storage everywhere - considered "small"... the big kitchen (even for Australia)... multibathrooms.... all bedrooms with built in wardrobes 😂?! Ive done the conversion to metric (sqm) and that's bigger than my parent's home (they're wealthy/loads of space for two.... and WAY bigger than average family home here). I appreciate the Clutterbug categories, but I'd LOVE to see some Clutterbug makeovers in an inner City European family apartment OR an English Cottage.
I love,how your house looks now.the childrens rooms are on top 😁 but your laundry room is so sweet!! My kitchen is from April 1980 😂 the colour is sand- beige,also neutral. Best wishes from germany, Heike 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Absolutely gorgeous (and you’re wrong here) Pinterest worthy home! 💕Love all the organization and practicality of it. And! From a European point of view, your house IS HUGE;) I am constantly inspired and by your genius ideas and entertained by your bubbly, happy personality. Thank you, Cas🙏🏻🎈❤️
I'm dying - the chihuahuas! My friend had them growing up. Go in her house, they jump on the arm of the chair when you walk in and try to bite you. We get in the car, I'm in the back seat. My friend says "Oh, Peanut is going to come with us. He's a little weird in the car...What? Worse than in the house?" He jumps in the back with me...I freeze. I think I stopped breathing. He jumps back in front with her and lays down...she says, "Wow, he must like you. He didn't try to bite you." Are you kidding me ??! I feel your pain Cass. Tip to survive unscathed for month with those pups: don't breathe too loudly in bed.
This is most definitely my idea of a Pinterest worthy home. I love every part of your style! And I have to add...I know you're a ladybug and I love that you are dressed like one too! At least the colors LOL! Thank you for this tour. Your home is GORGEOUS!!! So inspiring!
Love the home tour! It's nice to see it all in one video. I'm on the couch with my long hair Chihuahua and every time I stop petting him he lets me know that I am not finished yet. 😃 They are loving and demanding all at once! (Kinda like toddlers, lol)
I have a Chihuahua that sounds just like Bandit. No sudden moves. And the desire to snuggle but then 2 seconds later bite your head off is perplexing. But that is a Chihuahua I guess. Lol. They certainly pick their favorites and just somewhat tolerate anyone else. 😂
This was so satisfying to watch! Also, I'm totally gonna start storing my measuring cups on the back of my cabinet door, love that idea. Also love the printout of the measurements.
It’s was helpful to see not just how to organize for one person but to see how shared spaces were adjusted for all the organization styles in the family.
You can try Annie Sloan Chalk paint on your cabinets. No prep and super easy to do. You could do the whole thing yourself and then finish it with her paint on ‘lacquer’ or wax. It is hard wearing and no sanding!
Ah Cas, u make me laugh....the amount of times u said, my small, house,office,kitchen,2nd lounge,.....u would fall over if u saw the size of average UK homes! your tiny office looks like a huge room to me lol :) xx
🤣right! "Small 9×10' room" is actually a decent size for a home office in most countries. Because we usually don't even have a spare room to convert to an office.
@@cb9825 In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and finally room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
Thank god it’s not just me thinking that. Wish my house was as small lol *wanders off to declutter her one built in cupboard again in hopes of eventually being able to hide the hoover in it…*
@@lindseydavey6043 hahaha, same! no where to even hide ya mop, or hoover over here! Would love some of those American closets in our homes, would be fab!
Hi Cas, can you do a video where you show us how you store stuff in your kitchen? I too have small cabinets and even my basic cookware doesn't fit very well, much less in an organized way!
CAS!!!!!! This is my favorite yt post you have ever posted! I am absolutely in love with your style. What you have done to make your 1400sf look so beautiful is amazing!!! No room looks small because of the perfect way you have furnished each room, decorated it and organized it. It is beautiful!!!! This is the first visit where I took a picture of just about every room. They are going to be my inspiration board. I am not creative at all when it comes to solutions so I really needed this! Thank you so much!!!!! ❤
I can empathize with the pet sitting scenario! I'm currently houses sitting for friends for 2 months. There are 2 dogs, a cat and a parrot and I WILL NOT be doing this again! Nearly driving me nuts! I also see that you use Norwex cloths, mops, etc. One of my daughters sells Norwex products and I think most of them are great! Some don't really work for me, but for the most part I find them useful. I haven't been around to watch you for some time and notice that you've lost part of your former self. When I last watched, you were embarking on a weight loss journey and I see it was successful. Good for you!
One good thing about painting all the woodwork black, is that you don't have to notice all the dust and dirt, unless you want to every six months! instead of every month like me and the cream-colored woodwork on a greasy, dusty, busy street! THank you for so many wonderful ideas, especially having a stash of purchase gift cards to give away! I never thot of that!
Love your home and your great organizing tips. A place for everything and every thing in its place is my GOAL. Thank you for sharing with us and helping us to make our homes more efficient and more peaceful and less stressful.❤️
Great Tour Cas! Love that you have a normal home and that you’ve made it work for you & your family! Very encouraging to see and I got some good ideas!
Your organization is glorious, beautiful, functional, wonderful, and definitely Pinterest-worthy! Now, I want an in-depth tour of every drawer and cabinet to see what's in there, and how it's all stored. No matter what system anyone has, people have to put things back, and put things in the right places. Even an easy system has to be maintained, and the house tidied up, which your family obviously does well!
Holy bananas, Cass! I've watched nearly all of your videos over the last couple years,but this one was by far the most inspirational! My home is also 1400sq ft. My husband and I run 3 businesses from home; and have 3 of out 6 children still at home. And THIS is what I needed! I love it! Thank you for sharing your life and home with us!
I love the ending 🤣. I know your/your husband's parents are very Thankful you have watched the dogs. The older dogs would not have done well anywhere else. Hope they bring you back a huge gift of Thanks 😂 Seriously though you are doing great!!
Holy smokes! 4 1/3 minutes in and I’m floored by all the square footage she has. Her daughter has her own bathroom! She has a “such a small room” for a separate office!! Not everyone has that!
I was surprised at this too, especially when she said it was only 1400 sq/ft, maybe she made an error there. I think it would be easier to be organized too, if I had a mudroom, laundry room and office, and her kitchen is huge compared to mine and others. All my rooms have to be multi-functional and that eats up organization space per category.
The kids rooms are all about 10x10. The master is about 12x10 and the bathroom is TINY. The downstairs suite was meant to be an inlaw suite. Edit: I was eyeballing. They're even smaller. It's a split level with many teeeeeeny rooms. Don't be fooled by the wide angle lens needed to see the whole room. It really is a small house.
Your house is pretty small? Your house is pretty SMALL?!!! Your house is HUGE! Look around you girl!! Look at all those rooms and all that space and all the things you have! Oh what I wouldn't do to have what you have!! 🤦You are so blessed. Your house is not worthy of complaints.
Your home is beautiful, I really hope you can do a series with someone from Europe because our homes are so small in comparison. My laundry room is a walkway to my downstairs bathroom and it is a luxury as usually our washing machines are in the kitchen! Some of the bedrooms I’ve had have just enough room to shimmy around the bed. I’ve just bought a new house and my bedroom is too small for a wardrobe (we have no closets). My art room is crammed 😬If you ever feel like a challenge you know where I am 😂
So agree! I'm from the UK, and my home is half the size of Cass's. Tiny kitchen in which I have my washing machine. Tumble dryer is in a cupboard! No laundry room, no utility, no basement, no pantry, no garage. With all respect to these lovely ladies like Cass, Dawn and Dana, etc; I think WE could show them a thing or two about decluttering and organising!
@@supergran1000 absolutely could! I’m quite organised tbh, it is just tight. My main issue with UK homes is that they have odd walls. We have a chimney in our 70s house which means the sofa only fits in one place and no room in the master bedroom for a wardrobe. Windows only have about 20 cm of wall either side so built in cabinets in any room would block the windows. Total nightmare for storage options.
First time seeing your videos and not two minutes into the video and I already love you. Just subscribed. Right now I rent a room and there's clutter on my desk, on my nightstand on my dresser on a exercise machine and I hated even though the clutter is there because of me. I'm moving into an apartment and I want to avoid clutter at all cost in my new apartment.
I love so much about this video. I love that you have a behind-door storage system in your laundry room that lets you store your cleaning supplies and still open the door fully. I love that you noted how you converted a closet into a pantry -- I struggle most with figuring out better uses for my space and it's so tough to think outside the box of what an area of the home was originally made for. It really helps me to see examples so I can start thinking more creatively about what will work in my home. Thank you so much for sharing these detailed videos. Really appreciate your time and your help!
I loved your full house tour. My wheels are definitely turning because I still have a few problem areas & problem people 😂 in my house. We have a Chihuahua and she has is quite the character. It took her 2 years to get use to my son's girlfriend but now when our dog see's her she goes crazy loving on her. So 5 days is good.
Love your home! Practicality is over-the-top!! You have a good eye for amenities! So pleasing, and much inspiration for me!! Blessings, Lyn W, Nampa ID 💜
True about the dogs. My brother took care of his brother-in-law's and sister-in-law's dog for 6 whole months. He (the dog) got out and got run over a week before he was due to go home. 😪
Lovely. It would be great to have a home tour of the other "clutterbug" types. Your house is very organised, but as a butterfly/bee I can't identify. Only admire. 😊
So much inspiration in one video! And so many ideas on making your home work for you and not you working for your home. Just what I needed to see right now! THANKS ❤
I just absolutely love your house and organization. My appartment fits at least 5x into your house 😂 and I still do have a lot of stuff, but your organization is so great. As I said before ... We do need a Container Store over here in the Netherlands 😊
Fellow Canadian here. You have a wonderful organized home. What an inspiration! I've watched many of your videos and I always learn something, or get some ideas. I can't resist to tease you a bit though: why do you always say that you're not "very" organized ? That's not true !! 😉😉As YOU say, there are many organizing styles. If in many areas you have chosen to "macro" organize, it is a resounding success. And anyway, some parts of your home look awfully "Pinteresty". Your office in particular is a beauty ! The closets in the bedrooms are not only functional, they are pretty. The bathroom supplies: a beauty... it's BEE perfect !!
Beautiful! I didn't expect how small your house is. It makes me feel like I can do more in my 1200 sq ft townhouse (edit- a lot of people think this is pretty big! i guess we're just spoiled for space in australia)
you guys make me laugh, I cnt believe u guys think that is small, to me its Huge! lol. I think everything is just much smaller in the UK by comparison. In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and final room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
@@BLK2000 that sounds like New York city living in the US. That's a true challenge with small space living. I've lived in large and very small homes over the years. One thing I've learned is that if you have more space you fill it up. If you have less space you get rid of things, and learn to live with less. In most situations you find a way to organize it to make it livable for your family. Most often one room will wear many different hats. It just depends on what the current need is. Making it to my 50's I realize I could live in one room if I ever needed to. Definitely not something I would want to do, but life has taught me that I could. I always feel blessed no matter where I find myself.
That's funny, I was just thinking how huge her house is! I guess your perspective changes depending on where you come from. My 2 bed house is about 700sqf ( in the UK) and it's definitely a challenge trying to find storage solutions for everything when just basic furniture takes up so much room.
I was thinking that’s not small at all, we have a 1000 sq ft home family of five. Our one and only bathroom is just big enough for shower/bath toilet and sink 😂 we keep the clutter low though so it stays clean!
Cass, I've been following you for a long time now, and recently have been watching older vids.. You've been with me, helping me get focused for such a long time, I wonder how many of us you have now helped shape for the better ! Just wanted to say your evolution has been incredible, you're beautiful inside out and thanks for your continued top teir content 💜
I love your house! It looks bigger than 1400 sq ft! Was the downstairs family room/spare room originally a basement? Is it also included in the square footage? I love how some houses look bigger than their actual footage, and some look smaller than actual footage. It's fascinating how the layout can change the feel/space of the house! Thanks for the inspiration!
@@Clutterbug That is awesome! It doubles the amount of square footage. Great idea of utilizing the basement for extra square footage. I also like how it has bigger windows for a basement.
I do not know what type of bug I am, but I want a home where everything is inside a closet or inside a cubboard, or inside a dresser. I want to be able to remove the dust by just one motion over a flat empty surface. I do not want anything on any surface, I want everything hidden away, dust free. I am allergic to dust, and I have to have carpet because we are … lively … and we live in a condo. I was recently hospitalised with RSV and the dry vacuum and the wet vacuum feel just sooooo heavy, and the carpet cleaning service canceled on us because they got COVID. So when I see your beautiful home organisation one word screams inside my head: DUST what do you do about the dust accummulating on top and inside all of those organisers. On top of the venezian blinds, curtains. Happy new year.
I don't like wiping dust too!😆 despise picking everything up. AND the dust somehow gets behind the cabinet doors too🙄I thought the dust abundance was because our rental apartment was old and the walls and were "shedding" particles of wallpaper and paint or something. But we moved into a newly built house and it's almost the same here. A visible layer of dust accumulates on the shelves in like several days. I decided to not care anymore, if I stress too much over some stupid dust, I will have a nervous breakdown for sure 🤣
You are so engaging. You have a great knack for being so helpful with amazing tips - yet come across as relatable & Humble. Much love energy from New Zealand
Loved this video. I agreed with you on so many things you felt about your favorite items being convenient and where you can see them. There are certain things that just make us feel good when we see them. Thank you for showing us how your family practices what you teach us. It’s real and it works 😊. Have a gray day.
Looking at your beautiful, Pinterest-worthy "small" home is making me both motivated and depressed about dealing with my cluttered, messy, 3-room European apartment :D If you're ever in Vienna, Austria and need a project....

Your house is less sf than mine, but seems way bigger.
So true Mrs. Alma Trumble thank you for saying that another time for us not to forget

Some don't really work for me, but for the most part I find them useful. I haven't been around to watch you for some time and notice that you've lost part of your former self. When I last watched, you were embarking on a weight loss journey and I see it was successful. Good for you!
Wow! Such a lovely home ! Your simple organization concepts are easy to follow! Your video style is so fun to watch 😃
One good thing about painting all the woodwork black, is that you don't have to notice all the dust and dirt, unless you want to every six months! instead of every month like me and the cream-colored woodwork on a greasy, dusty, busy street! THank you for so many wonderful ideas, especially having a stash of purchase gift cards to give away! I never thot of that!
Love your home and your great organizing tips. A place for everything and every thing in its place is my GOAL. Thank you for sharing with us and helping us to make our homes more efficient and more peaceful and less stressful.❤️
You are so welcome!
I love that you have a normal size home. Looks like a split entry. It's relatable.
You're doing a great job!
Thanks!
Great Tour Cas! Love that you have a normal home and that you’ve made it work for you & your family! Very encouraging to see and I got some good ideas!
BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS DEFINITELY PINTEREST-WORTHY HOME!!! 😍🥰😍
Thank you so much!!
Your organization is glorious, beautiful, functional, wonderful, and definitely Pinterest-worthy! Now, I want an in-depth tour of every drawer and cabinet to see what's in there, and how it's all stored.
No matter what system anyone has, people have to put things back, and put things in the right places. Even an easy system has to be maintained, and the house tidied up, which your family obviously does well!
Holy bananas, Cass! I've watched nearly all of your videos over the last couple years,but this one was by far the most inspirational! My home is also 1400sq ft. My husband and I run 3 businesses from home; and have 3 of out 6 children still at home. And THIS is what I needed! I love it! Thank you for sharing your life and home with us!
I love your home!! You have a nice sized downstairs and have utilized your space spectacularly!! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤
I just love you! So funny and genuine!
I love the ending 🤣. I know your/your husband's parents are very Thankful you have watched the dogs. The older dogs would not have done well anywhere else. Hope they bring you back a huge gift of Thanks 😂
Seriously though you are doing great!!
I always loved your show/channel the most because you show real lives and homes! So relatable.
Holy smokes! 4 1/3 minutes in and I’m floored by all the square footage she has. Her daughter has her own bathroom! She has a “such a small room” for a separate office!! Not everyone has that!
I was surprised at this too, especially when she said it was only 1400 sq/ft, maybe she made an error there. I think it would be easier to be organized too, if I had a mudroom, laundry room and office, and her kitchen is huge compared to mine and others. All my rooms have to be multi-functional and that eats up organization space per category.
The kids rooms are all about 10x10. The master is about 12x10 and the bathroom is TINY. The downstairs suite was meant to be an inlaw suite.
Edit: I was eyeballing. They're even smaller. It's a split level with many teeeeeeny rooms. Don't be fooled by the wide angle lens needed to see the whole room. It really is a small house.
Your house is pretty small? Your house is pretty SMALL?!!! Your house is HUGE! Look around you girl!! Look at all those rooms and all that space and all the things you have! Oh what I wouldn't do to have what you have!! 🤦You are so blessed. Your house is not worthy of complaints.
Your home is beautiful, I really hope you can do a series with someone from Europe because our homes are so small in comparison. My laundry room is a walkway to my downstairs bathroom and it is a luxury as usually our washing machines are in the kitchen! Some of the bedrooms I’ve had have just enough room to shimmy around the bed. I’ve just bought a new house and my bedroom is too small for a wardrobe (we have no closets). My art room is crammed 😬If you ever feel like a challenge you know where I am 😂
So agree! I'm from the UK, and my home is half the size of Cass's. Tiny kitchen in which I have my washing machine. Tumble dryer is in a cupboard! No laundry room, no utility, no basement, no pantry, no garage. With all respect to these lovely ladies like Cass, Dawn and Dana, etc; I think WE could show them a thing or two about decluttering and organising!
@@supergran1000 absolutely could! I’m quite organised tbh, it is just tight. My main issue with UK homes is that they have odd walls. We have a chimney in our 70s house which means the sofa only fits in one place and no room in the master bedroom for a wardrobe. Windows only have about 20 cm of wall either side so built in cabinets in any room would block the windows. Total nightmare for storage options.
First time seeing your videos and not two minutes into the video and I already love you. Just subscribed. Right now I rent a room and there's clutter on my desk, on my nightstand on my dresser on a exercise machine and I hated even though the clutter is there because of me. I'm moving into an apartment and I want to avoid clutter at all cost in my new apartment.
I love so much about this video. I love that you have a behind-door storage system in your laundry room that lets you store your cleaning supplies and still open the door fully. I love that you noted how you converted a closet into a pantry -- I struggle most with figuring out better uses for my space and it's so tough to think outside the box of what an area of the home was originally made for. It really helps me to see examples so I can start thinking more creatively about what will work in my home. Thank you so much for sharing these detailed videos. Really appreciate your time and your help!
You're so welcome!
I loved your full house tour. My wheels are definitely turning because I still have a few problem areas & problem people 😂 in my house. We have a Chihuahua and she has is quite the character. It took her 2 years to get use to my son's girlfriend but now when our dog see's her she goes crazy loving on her. So 5 days is good.
Love your house! I would love to get my house organized and declutter. Thanks for sharing!
Yes!😁
You're so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your organized and beautiful home with us ! ❤️
😱I can't believe anyone is this organized!!! Fabulous!!! PLUS - red is YOUR color, Cas!
Thanks!
Love your home!
Practicality is over-the-top!!
You have a good eye for amenities!
So pleasing, and much inspiration for me!!
Blessings, Lyn W, Nampa ID 💜
True about the dogs. My brother took care of his brother-in-law's and sister-in-law's dog for 6 whole months. He (the dog) got out and got run over a week before he was due to go home. 😪
Love your home, and all of your organizing solutions! I’m so glad the dogs are growing on you, and hopefully you’re growing on them also!
Lovely. It would be great to have a home tour of the other "clutterbug" types. Your house is very organised, but as a butterfly/bee I can't identify. Only admire. 😊
We'll see!
Thank you for sharing your home with me. seeing all the different ways to have storage gave me really great ideas.
So much inspiration in one video! And so many ideas on making your home work for you and not you working for your home. Just what I needed to see right now! THANKS ❤
You're welcome!
Your office is absolutely perfect!!! It's so organized and still very functional.
Glad you like it!
Lol about the dogs! Lol
I just absolutely love your house and organization. My appartment fits at least 5x into your house 😂 and I still do have a lot of stuff, but your organization is so great. As I said before ... We do need a Container Store over here in the Netherlands 😊
Also in Germany ;-)
UK as well 😅
@@taraa3456 In the UK as well. My house is miniscule in comparison.
Fellow Canadian here. You have a wonderful organized home. What an inspiration! I've watched many of your videos and I always learn something, or get some ideas. I can't resist to tease you a bit though: why do you always say that you're not "very" organized ? That's not true !! 😉😉As YOU say, there are many organizing styles. If in many areas you have chosen to "macro" organize, it is a resounding success. And anyway, some parts of your home look awfully "Pinteresty". Your office in particular is a beauty ! The closets in the bedrooms are not only functional, they are pretty. The bathroom supplies: a beauty... it's BEE perfect !!
Beautiful! I didn't expect how small your house is. It makes me feel like I can do more in my 1200 sq ft townhouse
(edit- a lot of people think this is pretty big! i guess we're just spoiled for space in australia)
Don't forget she has tons of extra square footage in the basement that allows for several more rooms. She still does an amazing job with small spaces.
you guys make me laugh, I cnt believe u guys think that is small, to me its Huge! lol. I think everything is just much smaller in the UK by comparison.
In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and final room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
@@BLK2000 that sounds like New York city living in the US. That's a true challenge with small space living. I've lived in large and very small homes over the years. One thing I've learned is that if you have more space you fill it up. If you have less space you get rid of things, and learn to live with less. In most situations you find a way to organize it to make it livable for your family. Most often one room will wear many different hats. It just depends on what the current need is. Making it to my 50's I realize I could live in one room if I ever needed to. Definitely not something I would want to do, but life has taught me that I could. I always feel blessed no matter where I find myself.
That's funny, I was just thinking how huge her house is! I guess your perspective changes depending on where you come from. My 2 bed house is about 700sqf ( in the UK) and it's definitely a challenge trying to find storage solutions for everything when just basic furniture takes up so much room.
I was thinking that’s not small at all, we have a 1000 sq ft home family of five. Our one and only bathroom is just big enough for shower/bath toilet and sink 😂 we keep the clutter low though so it stays clean!
Cass, I've been following you for a long time now, and recently have been watching older vids..
You've been with me, helping me get focused for such a long time, I wonder how many of us you have now helped shape for the better !
Just wanted to say your evolution has been incredible, you're beautiful inside out and thanks for your continued top teir content 💜
You're so welcome!
We are 5 adults in 1100 square feet with no basement. It is really tight.
Did anyone else notice in the Random clutter, catcher cabinet the elf on the shelf. Absolutely love it
:)
you're so cute and lovable! and tidy!
I love your house! It looks bigger than 1400 sq ft! Was the downstairs family room/spare room originally a basement? Is it also included in the square footage? I love how some houses look bigger than their actual footage, and some look smaller than actual footage. It's fascinating how the layout can change the feel/space of the house! Thanks for the inspiration!
It's 1400, not including the basement. The family room, laundry room, office and Izzy's room are all in the basement.
So, it's really more like 2400 Sq ft?
@@Clutterbug That is awesome! It doubles the amount of square footage. Great idea of utilizing the basement for extra square footage. I also like how it has bigger windows for a basement.
That explains it! I have a 1290 sq ft apartment and I was watching this going why can’t I make my place look so big 😅
@@Clutterbug so it's actually a pretty good sized house for 5 people. Try living in a 1100 sf house with 6 people and maybe not complain so much 🤷🏻♀️
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
SO many good ideas, as always.
Been watching you for years (so much so that you feel like family 😆).
I love that you love animals! You're awesome, Cas!
Great video‼️ I love seeing your talents at work…very inspiring ❤️
Your house is beautiful ❤Thank you for sharing! 😊
I do not know what type of bug I am, but I want a home where everything is inside a closet or inside a cubboard, or inside a dresser. I want to be able to remove the dust by just one motion over a flat empty surface. I do not want anything on any surface, I want everything hidden away, dust free.
I am allergic to dust, and I have to have carpet because we are … lively … and we live in a condo.
I was recently hospitalised with RSV and the dry vacuum and the wet vacuum feel just sooooo heavy, and the carpet cleaning service canceled on us because they got COVID.
So when I see your beautiful home organisation one word screams inside my head: DUST what do you do about the dust accummulating on top and inside all of those organisers. On top of the venezian blinds, curtains.
Happy new year.
My Roombas vacuum daily, so there isn't a lot of dust! I also dust once a week or so, but I use a swifter wand, so it takes only minutes
I gave my Roomba to a friend when I lost the plug in thing.
I will try the swifter wand. Sounds like a good idea.
Thank you.
I don't like wiping dust too!😆 despise picking everything up. AND the dust somehow gets behind the cabinet doors too🙄I thought the dust abundance was because our rental apartment was old and the walls and were "shedding" particles of wallpaper and paint or something. But we moved into a newly built house and it's almost the same here. A visible layer of dust accumulates on the shelves in like several days. I decided to not care anymore, if I stress too much over some stupid dust, I will have a nervous breakdown for sure 🤣
I just want to say this video was so well done and informative! Thank you so much for sharing
Oh my gosh, Cas, your house is amazing! I would love to get to a point like this but I'm so far from it.
Ditto!
I feel it took some time to figure all this out. Just one step at a time.
Hilarious with the doggies at the end.😅. Love the organization ideas.🥰
Glad you liked it!!
My sister is the queen of 20 million bottles all over the counter.
You are so engaging. You have a great knack for being so helpful with amazing tips - yet come across as relatable & Humble. Much love energy from New Zealand
Wow, thank you!
I love your channel
Love your top
Loved this video. I agreed with you on so many things you felt about your favorite items being convenient and where you can see them. There are certain things that just make us feel good when we see them. Thank you for showing us how your family practices what you teach us. It’s real and it works 😊. Have a gray day.
Your house looks so great! I love the way you have it decorated!
Aw, thanks!
Looking at your beautiful, Pinterest-worthy "small" home is making me both motivated and depressed about dealing with my cluttered, messy, 3-room European apartment :D If you're ever in Vienna, Austria and need a project....
Thank you for letting us into your home. Following your videos has changed my life! I’m so thankful for you!
