There’s something about your home and style that is just so simple, cozy, and inviting. I use your videos for inspiration all the time.
Wow, thank you so much!!🥰🥰🥰
@@TheCarlaProject I agree. May I ask? Which FACTOR meal plan have you chosen, that helped you lose the weight? Thank you kindly in advance.
I agree! Everything she does is so effortless in the best way possible.
I'm over here watching older video because I need MORE CARLA PROJECT! 😂YOU DO NOT KNOW how much you help me get my life on track❤❤❤
I'd find a drop leaf table in round or oval, you could push it against the wall with just one leaf open for yourself or both leaves down to make it more like a hall table. Use both leaves when you have guests. Buy chairs that stack.
If you’re handy or know someone that is, a small banquette would be adorable with storage in benches!
Hey Carla!! I have a portable washer that we got right before the pandemic! It was crazy good. We lived in a small 4th floor apartment and what a lifesaver! We still have it at our house now in addition to the other full size ones. I usually air dry everything except sheets. It is a lifesaver!
I could watch your videos every day. They’re so chill and soothing.
Oval or round table should give you more room in that nook area. Love the dinner vibes toward the end of the video. Nothing like candles and art to set the vibe!
Every time I see you use the portable washer, I'm SO tempted to get one because I hate lugging my laundry down 3 flights of stairs to the basement.
Hi Carla. I'd look at the square Ikea drop side/drop leaf tables. That way you could fold it down and push it against the wall to save space when it is just you at home.
hi ;) i have exactly a very quite similar washing machine, portable, i feel it very easy and it works the same :) very unusual, first time i see some else to have one too :) and this video is on perfect timing, stop procrastination, time to do 💪 YEP :) and rainy day too here in France ;) so perfect day to do it so i felt today :) thank you for the extra motivation you offer us :) 😘✨ have a lovely Sunday ;) and week too :) and for everyone :)
My pleasure! Enjoy the rainy day in France for me 🥰
@@TheCarlaProject 🥰 i lived in the region called Britanny, close to Great Britain actually and it is the most famous region in France to be the most rainy of the country.. i asked so many times to my parents, why they migrated there 😅..! they are a lot of jokes in france about this region to be rainy all the time, as it is quite real actually 😉
now i just wish to go to the other side of the Ocean, to warmer latitudes as i have been before and seriously preferred the way of life and weather and the whole vibes :) everywhere has its charm :) but i feel wish that this year is The year to go back to an old dream :) after so many intense years, finger crossed, this year is The one :) working for it 🤗💃🏻🌴🌎☀✨🙏💫
but enjoying for sure the present day too :) enjoying where we are for the moment and then step by step, we can put in order the things calmly in the cosy of home in rainy days, that i like and feel it pleasant too for this period season too in fact :)
lot of love ;) have a good day too :)
Great video! I think a round table would work great in your dining nook, because one of your chairs would fit nicely in the corner. Happy New Year!
I totally agree!! Happy new year 💖🎈
Ha ha ha he did give me a way to write alternate not to get too fat. How did you do that? Tell me that Dad has a friend.
How do you do that? How are you today? Call Cheryl diet called Cantlay not to eat too much food I won’t get fat.
I love rainy days for cleaning, sunny days you want to be outside 😊
So true!! Next rainy day I’m making soup!
I am so loving your new haircut. I just rest this weekend too. I usually leave things up through epiphany but then things happened and I had to wait another week to put all the Christmas stuff away. But it feels great to have a refreshed more minimal house again after all the holiday stuff.
Hi Carla I think a round table would look great. seeing that your living space is close and your coffee table is round, would look great with black or white chairs. 🥰
the **lightness** you feel after that last return!! Love your videos. I like to take the $$ I get from returns to buy myself one small treat like an iced latte and put the rest in an emergency fund or towards a trip.
I still can't get over how fab your hair looks! Thanks for all the wonderful motivation to get stuff done! I finally took down all the Christmas goodies and got all those bins back in storage and out of the way. Feels so nice!
I have the same exact washing machine. It works so good. I love your videos so much. You give me motivation to clean, and your apt feels so cozy. 😊
Thanks, you just helped me clean and organize my apartment top to bottom!
Wonderful!💖💖
Enjoy watching you get your stuff done; now I need to get mine done!
Lovely to see the free range eggs! 👏👏
Love the pot color. More planners/organizers the more organized you are. Yeah right! 😆 Great job ticking things off the to do list.
Watching you tackle those pesky returns has motivated me to organize mine, thank you Carla! I appreciate and look forward to your videos. Happy new year to you and Samson! 💕😊
I just did my returns this week too!
Love your videos!!❤ Watching you take down the tree, I realized I have the same basket!😲 I got mine from the maker at a fair in Tehachapi, but I'm sure she also does lots of fairs in LA 😄👍
Still love your hair cut! For your dining area - Just a thought - How about benches along he two walls - a square table that you could push up to the wall when you don't need the extra seating and two chairs. It could be a cute all-purpose space when you don't need it for dining. Love your videos!.
I agree with others that a drop leaf table would be a smart move! Happy new year 🥳
Yay - I love it when you take us out around LA ❤
Hi Carla, this was a wonderful video. You are so informative. I don't have any children, but some of these young women could really learn a lot from you with home organization. That said, with the hand towels, such a wonderful idea. Last year I decided that the paper towels are getting too high along with everything else in this country. I went to Walmart and brought some of those cheap white wash cloths that are in a bundle of about 15 or 20. I dedicate those rags for only the kitchen. They are kept in a container alone so when it comes to wash they don't get mixed up with any bath laundry. I use them to wash and/or dry dishes. This has really cut down on cost of paper products. Much love from Charlotte, N.C.
That sounds similar to what I do at my home. I buy the pack of white wash clothes from Costco and break them up into rags or dishrags. Rags are marked with an x and when dirty they’re put into their own hanging hamper which is just a nylon reusable bag in the laundry room. Dishrags can be bleached along with my white kitchen hand towels and flour sack towels. It works great! 😀
I suggest a round table that expands to maybe accomodate 4 people. A round table will take less space and will not impede the flow of traffic around it. Happy New Year!
Every once in awhile do wash at the Laundromat & get it done. Come home on a rainy day & veg out afterwards.
I always wondered what the big deal is with planners. I've always used a list. Last year I got myself a planner, which I LOVE! The first of the year, I freaked out when I realized I went through the whole thing! I had to run out & get another one! It keeps me more motivated.
You always give lots of inspiration! I’ve been in a rut lately! I’ve been using the “less is more” mantra and that’s helping me let go and put $$ towards upcoming trips with my kids. FYI I had that washer during my home Reno and it works great!!! I’d use it again in a heartbeat. I like the smaller footprint!
We use cloth washrags and towels in the kitchen instead of paper towels, unless it's a gloopy mess. We have saved so much money not using paper.
Carla I like your channel because you are very real and humbe
I think a round table will fit very nicely in that nook! They exist in +- 40 inches in diameter, I reckon that will fit nicely, with 4 suede chairs? So many possibilities!!
I have a similar washer and it is life changing I hook it up to the bathtub. Sometimes it’s annoying that you can only do small loads but it beats making a trip to the laundromat. Also I feel like it is more gentle on my clothing and will help them last longer.
It’s so beats having to go to the laundromat are use my buildings basement washer. Best thing ever for apartment dwellers !!
Hi Carla! Hope you're staying safe there with all of the weather warnings I've seen on the news! I'm in Canada, we were actually going to come there to visit in the next week or 2 but not with the weather warnings. Love your videos :)
Yea we have not had rain like this in I dont know how long. No dangerous flooding by me thankfully but def better to come when we're not in this atmospheric river!!
@@TheCarlaProject good I'm glad you are out of harms way!! 💗
I absolutely love you with short hair. Your so pretty with the shorter hair.
I like the comments suggesting an L shaped bench and round table. Benches would have storage. You could probably find someone to build them for you. I have seen other channels use short, upper kitchen cabinets as benches. Could get them at Ikea or the basic ones from Lowes. A round table would take up less room.
Weather - hope you're in a safe area.
Happy New Year Carla! Great job resetting your space. And, FWIW, I think Sampson would make an awesome Batman ❤️
he's got the ears for it!!😂❤️ Happy new year!🥳
I appreciate you being so real. I'd love to have a friend to help me declutter and organize.
Make sure you're on my list! I may be in your are this year looking to help❤️
@@TheCarlaProject how do I get on your list? Daytona Beach would be a great place for you to visit.
I’d suggest a round or oval table plus chairs and some really large wall art to define the area. I’d go for chairs as they are better for back support, for tucking myself closer to the table and cleaning under after the meal! 😮
Just love bistrot style!
Love the hair lady, looks like you! Yes to a round table and two chairs for your dining setup!
Round bistro table & 2 chairs❣️
You should consider a top leaf table. They are versatile in size and can give you more options longer.
What a great use you made of that rainy day, when you could have wasted it lounging around and watching an old movie, feeling fed up! I love the way that it finishes. You must be so pleased with the way you're starting off the year.
I would go with a small round table with two chairs.
Oh wow I never knew you had portable washing machines? That’s really convenient if you don’t have a washing machine connection!
Also like I see being mentioned by more people, I would get a (small) round dining table for your dining nook.
Hope you didn’t get that really bad rain. I think a little round bistro table with chairs would soften the harshness of the square area. Great video
That is such a good point!!!❤️
🥰oh so exciting... I've been procrastinating in so many areas...you really get me motivated to tackle it now🐨
same :) let's do it 💪✨😘 good vibes for you too :)
Oh yeah 💓
Always feels incredible when it’s done ✅ 💖
I think a square table with benches that slides under the table would look nice & be most space saving. Small decorative trays/plates can be used to coral items. I always have my soap dish in the bathroom on a tray. It's easier to clean up spills.🙂
You can use soap dish for stain it works fine, just don’t put too much
Hi Carla! Great to see you again! Thanks to watching one of your older vlogs I bought the same Panda washer, slightly different model, but yes it has been such a Blessing and I love it!! When I saw it I showed my hubby and we didn't know they existed.....thanks for showing us. No more washing downstairs or at the laundromat. 🌻❤🤗😍
That is awesome! I’m so happy it really was a life changer for me too!!
@@TheCarlaProject Girl, I'm such a child too. I would've done the same thing with the balloons.😂😂
The Wreath on the mirror is such a cool idea; it gives a pretty effect
thank you i love to do that every year❤️
A corner breakfast nook would be soooo cute! The kind with bench seating, and the bench portion also has storage. Very bistro-ish! 💕
i was thinking bench seating too... especially if i sell my sectional for a traditional sofa!
Cozy vibes, yaaaaas
I agree with you on the airpods. Just get the real ones. they are great. If you wait til prime day or you know somone who has a costco membership, they go on sale pretty often there as well.
Lovely day in L.A.! 💕 Trader Joe’s is the best! I did not know anyone still made portable washers! Genius move!!
2 things - one, I love your cleaning & decluttering videos! I find them so relatable & relaxing! two, Guurl, you need to hang some artwork in your space!! lol!! Seriously tho, the vibe you can create with art hanging on your walls is everything & you have so much space to hang! I know you said you were going to rehang that one piece you already have over by your dining nook --- but then I was looking at your stair well & the walls at the top of the stair well - great places for you to create a gallery wall, some ecclectic art or whatever you want or want to diy maybe....just a thought...I think you would love how it feels!! Be Well Carla♥
Always very classy! Great video! :) Loved Sampson looking back at you during his walk. Hope you have a great week, too!
I love these kinds of days where you just get $%# done. Come on 2023 🎉❤😊
We're in the midst of taking down our Christmas decor too. So far on day 4. It's taking FOREVER. It feels super empty at first but also pretty nice to have more "breathing space" I'd say for that corner two chairs and a small round table would look nice.
it really does feel like a reset after you get the decor down but I lose a bit of the cozy factor... HNY wendy!🥳
Bench seating against the wall(storage in the bench) and two chairs. And an oval table for your dining nook so you never have sharp edges aimed at you while trying to sit down on the bench. Just a thought. Or round table and 2/3 chairs. Up to you how many you want to accomodate.
Because your dining nook is in a corner, what about bench seating on those 2 walls, with a round table? Then also creates extra seating with your couch for when people are over
I bought a round 37” cream chunky pedestal table with some funky coral pink mid century modern chairs.
I had originally purchased acrylic ghost chairs but needed some color. Which was a big step for me.
I found that a drop leaf table usually stayed against the wall in a dark corner that was not inviting. Tip, don’t sit at a table or desk facing the wall, it’s very isolating.
Your shorter hair is a 10. Looks stylish and sassy.
why thank you dahling!
✨Happy 2023✨
Happy New Year love!!
Stalker is so handsome bless him 🥰☮️💜 thanks for the trips out I do like seeing you shops I have no idea why lol
so happy to hear that! i get to take you guys with me 😍❤️
I think a table with some built in benches along the wall would be great in that corner! I know you said you usually have company over often so the extra seating would be great! You could also push the table completely over the benches when it is just you to have more room!
I love that little washer! It is so cute and useful!!
I found you on your portable laundry machines and stayed for everything else! I currently live in an apartment w a washer/dryer combo machine and I kinda wanna buy a separate portable dryer bc the dryer takes minimum 2.5 hrs 🙃
It’s worth it! Never going into the basement of my building again. Dries a load in 30-40!
@@TheCarlaProject what dryer do you have?
Agreed.....Envy apples are absolutely the BEST apples. Developed down here in New Zealand, we love them!!
Hair looks fabulous that length (ex hair dresser)
I‘ve had my fair share of failed dining furniture purchases. Now that I‘m being Minimalist, I found that expandable, non-blocky and stackable ones are ideal for me. I also just buy from IKEA… they‘re uncomplicated.
Personally, I have the Lissabo dining table paired with Kyrre stools at home. The table has removable legs so it can be stashed away when we don’t need them. The Kyrre stools are stackable and we also use them sometimes as extra couch sidetables. Been happy with these choices so far. 😊
This may sound weird but I also use a desk chair with wheels (similar to the Blykobb model). I love having it by the dining table. It‘s comfy and easy to use. It‘s also fun just rolling/turning with it. It‘s usually the only one out and the stools are stacked under the table. Perfect for when it‘s just you and since there‘s no backrest, you can also just roll it under the table when you don‘t use it. It’s space saved and out of the way.
I think the white round Ingatorp table would look nice in your dining nook. Since it expands for up to 6 people, you can pair it with 4-6 stackable stools/chairs for when you have guests. I‘d go for stools though, less bulky and guests are usually fine sitting on them anyway. If you add simple cushions or themed fabrics on them, they‘d look fancy and comfy enough for parties too.
That was a good reset for the new year. Way to start off.😊
Thank you ☺️
36" round table for the nook. It will be proportionate to the rest of the room but give you enough space for 2-3 people to eat at the table without feeling like their plates are in their laps.
Nice to see Mr Samson again🥰🐺
Hey Beautiful,
for (tight) corners no round or oval table.
Actual shape and size depends on how many chairs you want (or would fit).
I could imagine a square one in the corner with two stationary/permanent chairs and for when guests are over and you need more than two seats two (nice) folding chairs in addition.
If you don't like/want to have folding chairs an other idea would be a rectangular one with two chairs on the long and one chair on the short side. For additional seating you could put a bench under it (both against the wall) and pull the table forward when guests are coming.
😊
I love your mobile washing mashine! 😁
Portable washing machine 😮 I’ve never heard of this!!! What?!! I need this
It’s AMAZING!!
Was lovely to have your company while cleaning the dishes. Great to see, what you got done, as well. Have a lovely day, too 😊
Thanks for hanging out with me!😍❤️
I have learned so much on how to declutter even the smallest things by watching your videos. I still struggle wuth a few things because if my mom gives me something and i dont like it, its very hard to get rid of it because i still live in the same house as her and she sorts through all of our donations before letting it go in her car to get donated.
Hi Carla! .. I watch a lot of "declutter with me" type of videos and have done so for many years. I remember watching one of yours in the mix a while back and it standing out to me back then. Almost every single cleaning-type video is of a mom / wife / someone with kids and I am not a kid person and I just wanna watch a woman living with her fur babies like me! But when I first saw one of your videos, my life was in shambles and now that my life is getting put back together, I became determined tonight to find your channel! So I went to my watch history and searched "declutter" ... and then "minimal" ... and then "apartment" ... and when I searched "apartment", lo and behold, I had watched one of your videos in November 2021 apparently! Yayyy I found you and this time I will purposefully subscribe!
This is only the second video I have watched of yours but I am eager to watch more now. I feel like you are similar to me in many ways that you mention in the videos/how you describe your thought processes/your mentality about things. I am in my mid 30s and I live on my own in an apartment and I have a cat and a dog fur babies. I am very good at organization and I love having a pristine place, but I am naturally super messy and a huge procrastinator and my small place gets cluttered so much so often (even though I have been on a minimalism journey for the last five years). Also, I refer to myself as "the queen of returns" because I am CONSTANTLY (almost weekly) returning so many items for various reasons. Also, I was in town in LA while it was raining recently helping my dad out because he lives out there!
As for your little nook where your tree was, I would consider maybe a couple small benches in the corner as the seating for a table there? Something like that? I am assuming you probably couldn't install an actual full corner bench since it's an apartment..
Anyway, thank you so much for being unique compared to most of the other cleaning channels!! It really is SUCH a breath of fresh air. Have a wonderful 2023!
*and I just realized that you included instrumental jazz in your video. I love that genre and that is also different compared to the type of music that other people usually put in their decluttering videos! When I am trying to relax/focus, I will often put on instrumental jazz in the background when I remember to, along with some incense. 👍🏽
Definitely a round table with the chairs backed against the 2 walls. Love your videos and I think it’s awesome when you put the date on the screen that shows when you were filming. I image what I was doing on that day.
I love your videos so much. So calming. I’m currently on bed rest and so many videos make me feel bad but you really uplift me. Thank you xxxxxxxx
I'm so glad!! Rest up and feel well soon 💖💖
I think round or square table can work. Sometimes a round table take a little bit more space and a square one can be shifted in the corner when not in use.
Clear glass round table that can catch light in a darker corner
Totally forced myself to return something today before it was too late. I kept the bag in my car but I kept ignoring it. Trying to remove everything unessential.
returns are SO HARD for me!! but my bank account thanks me after!❤️
You could keep the tree up year round and have different themes or just the plain tree?
Girl....procratination is my first, middle and last name....im gonna do my dishes as I watch this video!!! THANK YOU!
I think a small round table would be perfect for the space.
I’m looking for the perfect crossbody bag myself and having the same problem…I got one for $20 on Amazon that I love the size, shape, and functionality, however the strap is too thin, and the material is not my fav. I’ve realized if I find the right purse I’ll carry it for a long time so I’m hunting for that unicorn in a durable material that will last!
I’m still searching too!!!
I too am addicted to planners....wow that felt good to get it off my chest! Love your videos!❤
So addicted 😂
Happy New Year, Carla! Shell from Philly🔔
Happy new year Shell!!💖
Round table is i gues the best option in that corner and than add some nice photos and hanging plants with it.
Round table looks softer and gives more space😘
You videos are so relaxing ❤
Glad you like them!
I like your blue pot.
Haha! You are like one of my friends. She spends so much time returning stuff!!!
What if you huge a light in the corner above your table to give you the cozy light like your tree did. Round table with a ikea light
GIRL those balloons are so BAD for the ENVIRONMENT they do NOT BIODEGRADE!! Part of a life reset and for all of us to think about is to be more mindful about what we purchase and consume and how this impacts the environment. I know that it may not always be convenient; but we all have to be more conscious and mindful about what we buy. NO JUDGEMENT. Just a thought. Happy New Year
i know i totally agree with you!! no more helium ballons for me unless they make anything eco friendly... xoxo
About to watch your two latest videos while I tackle my laundry mountains 🙃 thank you for the company🖤
Oh I love that!! Laundry day company 😍 my pleasure!!💖
Dining nook: Small round table with banquet seating that fits the corner…..???? May have to relocate tree this year but I feel like the banquet seating will really make it nook-y 😊
Great video! How about a corner dining bench for the dining nook as they take up less space? X
I'm on Factor now and going to the gym at minimum five times a week. I've been enjoying it a lot. Very convenient with my busy work schedule (55-60Hs) per week. Also, the food is delicious. Seriously. I've combined it with intermittent fasting as well and it's been a no-brainer for me because I stress a lot about types of food and portion control.
I had mine for dinner last night. It’s SO good!! Need to add the IF in to really have a breakthrough and the workouts wow good job you!!
@@TheCarlaProject Aw, thank you! It's been a lot of fun being able to eat so many various dishes and they're healthy while also being convenient! I can't believe I was spending 3-4Hs a week meal prepping before! No thanks. Not going back to that. 😂
I look forward to seeing how you incorporate them into your fitness journey. Definitely do what works for you. I've learned that along the way!
