I’m so excited for this next chapter as the Space Maker Method 😊 What do you think of the new channel name!?!
Really like the new name. Prefer it to old one and space is what all us declutters want!
I think it’s perfect!!
Perfect
Perfect 👍
Love it!! Totally inspired ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊
For someone who says she can't let go of much - that was a very healthy pile of clothes leaving the house 😊
Right? I don't even know Tracy, but I am so proud of her!
The great unhoard isnt an excuse not to let things go, it's more of a stepping stone into the right direction. Those who dont believe so dont really understand how hoarding work, especially not for an crafty and artistic indiviadual who has ADD. Tracy is strengthening her decluttering muscles, she'll go through the same stuff multiple times, removing one or two items at a time, making the space better every time
I feel like I would be disappointed if there's no real tangible difference after all that work. I hope she feels accomplished with the relatively small amount of things she got rid off and not overwhelmed by her "great unhoard" project.
I think like April says, it is a process. We just started on my mom's house and decluttered her closet and if you look at it, there isn't much difference, but we actually got rid of half! I don't think for some people you can really expect an empty closet because they are so attached to the items. I've found super decluttering just causes my mom to go out and replace those items eventually.
I watch a lot of declutter/organizing people. Clutterbug is great but I think of her as a type A organizer and not realistic for most homes. Great but definitely has more of a content creator vibe (which is fine, it is her job). Dana White has so many great ideas and her method works for people who have small clutter piles or routine cleaning. "Put it where it goes" and "the container method" don't work at the beginning of a declutter journey or for severe hoarders. April, I've recently started helping my mom declutter her house and your style works. She's very much like your mom with lots of collections or hobbies. Your mom had a depression room. My mom has a depression house and it is really affecting her right now. We tackled JUST her closet yesterday and like Tracy, there isn't much declutter, but it's little steps. I think trying to take people from collector to minimal is a disaster in the making, but taking collector to curator of collections is a much better route. Sometimes you just have to mix and match decluttering and organizing. While you also are a content creator, your videos are a much better place starting out for real people. Thank you!
You might like Hoarder's heart. She is a recovering hoarder and she explains the emotional implications of declutering and gives recommendations on how to approach it.
I get exactly what you are saying!
This week I am with my father, and he will keep everything that has a little use left in it.. I am so very grateful that he went through his closet the second day now with me, I realized when it was too much for him and stopped the first day.
He looked through his things and couldn’t let go of anything, or just very little. When he was done I categorized and presented it to him, and when he saw how much of what kind he had it was way easier for him to part - and he did amazing! As a retired man he insists that he still needs more than thirty dress shirts, but also let go of ten, and that is more than ever.
Maybe that can help for your mom too?
I told him I am proud of him, and he enjoys that he reconnected with his things. He saw that I don’t pressure him and he is the one to decide, but that I have valid arguments (let someone wear it as long as it is still good) and really want to support.
I think of Cass of Clutterbug as the opposite of type A! She's a stuff and hider! Big category bins with everything out of sight. Type A would be right categories and everything filed/organized out of sight. Cass describes herself as a ladybug in her system. Which is really her great strength. She doesn't believe in one size fits all for organizing. Her visual/non-visual paired with tight category/broad category really helps people find a system that will work for them.
Yes! This is Tracy building her declutter muscles. I like that April is gentle with people and doesn’t judge how much they keep, or have in a maybe pile. This series with Tracy is very realistic of so many people needing the safety blanket of keeping these “document and say goodbye, actually maybe keep a few.” Doing more passes is easier than one massive purge that is emotional. Dana K White’s container method is great once you’ve built those declutter muscles and have a handle on your shopping. I started reading her old blog from the very very beginning when her goal was to simply run a load of dishes every day. We all start somewhere.
Check out The Carla Project for more gentle decluttering!
Your comment is so insightful and helpful.
Tracy is doing great! Get that ‘Great Unhoard’ project going. We are here for it!😊
That already looks so much better, and I suspect more will go in the next round. Setting a space boundary i.e. new wardrobe, will encourage losing more. Tracy sounds like such a fun lady to know.
Gosh looking at all those clothes makes me feel overwhelmed, how can someone have so many clothes 😂😂❤❤
Tracy is a delight. April you're doing wonders and loving the rebrand🎉🎉🎉
I’m learning that having a facilitator during a decluttering session makes a massive difference and April is the ultimate facilitator! Love and rubs to Ruby 🐕! Tracy is such a delight and I’m so excited for her!
❤well we love Tracy
🎉name excellent
😊we love you April
I love all the special "helpers" in your episodes ❤️🐾
💛
I'm excited to see the results of the second decluttering pass! I know people are being kind of skeptical about The Great Unhoard and the amount of clothes she kept, but this is Tracy's declutter, not ours, and she never said she wanted to be a minimalist! Her decluttering goal was to have a manageable quantity of things, and I am confidant she'll get there
agreed!
I downsized after 41 years in a house to a mobile home. I still havev over 50 bins full of sentimental things from my family, ,crafting,decorating etc. This is giving me such inspiration. So excited for the outcome.
You can do it!
After losing both parents I really embrace the concept of letting it go. I too had tons of things prior to downsizing. I don’t want any of our children to be stuck with our things when we transition. I ENCOURAGE you to think about OTHERS and let the stuff go. Narrow it down to 10 bins and let go of the rest. When you’re gone you can take any of the stuff with you. Give away items to women’s shelters. Donate to organizations that help people who are getting back on their feet. Let it go and be Free!!
I love that the pup is just napping in the pile of clothes 🥰
The re- branding of the channel is great, so excited for you guys. Yes, we love you Tracy. And thank you Ruby for dressing up for us❤ Enjoyed the decluttering session so satisying😊
No one’s going to talk about the identical striped shirt on the bed, that she’s wearing… 😂😂😂 Tracy you’re doing a great job, I can’t believe how much you accomplished.
Ahh finally someone who also sorts their clothes after fabric!!
Again I see the Great Unhoard as a way to delay getting rid of stuff.
Well, sometimes you need time to say goodbye
It probably is, but that's part of hoarding. Getting rid of stuff before you're ready doesn't work
I agree. I think The Great Unhoard is a way to delay the pain of letting go. Hopefully with each pass of decluttering, more and more can be let go.
Honestly, I find this a bit frustrating. I am longing for them to follow the container method. If your designated container for X item is overflowing, you need to let go of the rest and only save your favourites within said container.
@@alamedadanceparty she will hopefully get to that point, but right now going all in on the container method would only cause more stress and would lead to more regret which would likely spark even more hoarding tendencies.
These videos are so short lol but as frustrated as I am, I know it must be a hundred times worse for Tracy, and I'm just thankful she was kind enough to share her space like this. And April, I'm sorry about your nails! Those things hurt! Love the rebranding and can't wait to see more 🙂
I *love* that her friends asked about her shoes! ❤ Keeping those out of the trash!
Love love love the new name it really suits the vision and the new name will really bring you new energy and clarity ❤
I feel like she is making great progress, and her project will be a great way to honor and say goodbye to things. Also, the first pass is never the last. Decluttering is like an onion. It happens in layers. Please remember To be kind and show support and grace rather than judgement. Letting go of things is very difficult for many people, and she is just starting on her journey. I am so proud of her, and I don’t have IG but I’ll be looking for updates on here! ❤🎉😊
Omg Tracy that was fantastic. Thanks for letting us into your home. Take a bow 🙇♀️ and well done. I got some fright when the rail fell down. I’m looking forward to you getting a new closet, you certainly deserve it. April is leaving you with plenty of homework too. Will you take pictures of each pile of try on and donate/great unhoard? Ruby is adorable and is styling in blue 🐶 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️🙇♀️👏👏👍💪🙏💐🐶
as a plant lover I want to get her shelves and a few hooks I too covered all flat spaces with plants and because of seasons I had to drag outside plants in..... Her plants are stunning! .
I, too, have a single health goth article of clothing (drapey "active" cardigan). The aesthetic lurks!
Ruby is precious. You are doing a great job. Even your plants are going to have breathing room❤️🐕🐕
Tracy is doing an amazing job. You two are so fun together. Looking forward to future videos.
Hopefully she checks ALL of the pockets as i found money and rings in mine.
Thank you for being vulnerable in this process. I also struggle with clothes😟. It’s not easy but so worth it!
Love the new name! Please get her matching velvet hangers and wood hangers for jackets!❤
You got it!
This is very inspiring! Thank you Tracy and April. 😊❤
Also, if you know what colors look best on you, then it really helps you let go of many things you have. To me, people with peach undertone look amazing in dark gray, hunter green, mauve pink, indigo blue. 😍
I think the great UNhoard is code for IM NOT GETTING RID OF THAT.
I love the new name! Hard to let go of things but she is just getting started am sure 2nd round will be easier to part with more.
I found your channel last week and have been binge watching. I haven’t heard an episode that explained why the name was The Suitcase Designer? Prefer the new name as people searching for decluttering videos may find it easier. Will you come to Canada? I’m becoming a hoarder after losing family members that kept everything. Now everything is at my house! 😢
Watching this staring at my own closet packed to the brim with clothes 🫣🫣
I like the new name. Are you going to do more clients houses and declutter? Are you still in Korea?
Wow! Great progress! Very motivating. Thanks for sharing
i LOVE those satin bomber jackets! so fabulous!
Love the new name, it really states where your channel has evolved!
Perfect
Hi April love the new name. Tell Tracy she's doing great. ❤
Thanks for this video. If she can attack her mountain of clothes and can too! Thanks! It’s so helpful to see someone do this! 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I meant to say if she can do I can too! 😊
Love the new name! Tracy is delightful. She's doing a great job and is brave to allow us to watch the process! Take care, Linda 🦋
9:01 the dog here, cuteeee!!!
Luv it
I love it.
🤩Good job!!! 👏👏👏
So fun to watch!

Can’t wait to see her new closet! ❤😊
I’m Tracie’s biggest fan!!! Looking forward to see the big un-Hoard
Yes we love you Tracy!🎉
Coming along!❤
Love Tracey- she's so much fun !!!
This is such a motivating series! Can't wait to see the outcome!!!! Keep up the good work!
I just found you April and: I like you! You have an awesome way with just the two clients I've seen so far. They are fun people too and everyone feels REAL, I don't know if I can explain the importance of this in what you post. It truly feels like your calm and flexibility along with no judgement- just incredible to see these people getting some joy back while being reunited with the things they truly love. It makes me feel like I'm not a lost cause for sure! Keep it up everybody- I'm hooked. AND you know I should be decluttering :/
Love the new name❤
This series is sooo fun 🤩
Big hugs to you both! Gonna be so worth it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can see it now ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tracy is on 🔥🔥🔥!
Tracy, you're killing it! You're so brave and motivated. You can do this!!! It'll get easier, i promise. Great work.
Love the new channel name, Tracy your doing an awesome job.
You did great,,this was an awesome decluttering session! ❤❤❤
I just moved and im listening to you while i unpack and declutter :)
Very good !!!!
The name says it all!
Hi, April! Love the new name! Tracey did a great job and hope she continues what she’s doing. I used to have clothes in three closets but have finally trimmed down to one closet. It took awhile but I feel so much lighter. I can sympathize with Tracey. I had lots of shoes too. But I realized I won’t be wearing heels anymore and have gotten rid of them. Some I never wore. But tell Tracey to keep going. Love this series! Hugs to you and a special hug to Izzy!🐈⬛💜🥰👍
Congrats on the rebrand Space Maker! I think it’s time for a summer jeans and winter jeans pile… maybe in general she needs fall and autumn too 😂 looking forward to the great unhoard - you can’t rush art so tell Tracy not to worry!
💛💛💛
Love the name change of the channel and the last projects you put on here.
I really enjoy this girl I’m so excited! Need the motivation too haha
Eta when my daughter was a baby it was 2020 and she didn’t get to wear all the cute clothes we had for her so I did a photo shoot with them draped around a dresser with shopping bags like it was a fitting room.. kind of like the great unhoard ❤❤❤
Great, great job🥰🥰🥰 I just decluttered the rooms of my sons and I'm exhausted 😏
Love your channel’s new name!
Tracy, you are doing fantastic! It is hard to do a first pass. But, after the first pass, it gets easier to let go! I am looking forward to see future passes! You got this! 😊
Tracy, you are doing sooooooo much better than the hoarders I've come into contact with. Good for you 🎉
Loving this series! Great job, Tracy & April! Can't wait to watch your home transform!
More to come soon!
Wonderful progress! Keep going, the results are worth it. I have gotten rid of one closet full re: a big move. And I continue to let go of more. We just can’t use it all. Plus I remember as a kid only having half a closet of clothes and it was just fine. Hope to see the next episode soon! 😊
Happy for you.
Thank you!
I love this series. I hope you have more coming.
We do!
Tracy is awesome! We can all relate to her journey. Thank you April and Tracy for sharing a story that is inspiring and motivating!
You are so welcome!💛
Wonderful job.
htank you! 💛
Tracy is so cute! :)
I like the new name! Good luck Tracy!
The new channel name makes so much sense. I didn’t understand the last one. Great work on getting rid of stuff.
Yay I love the new name❤
Love Tracy and Ruby
Love the new name
You and Tracy are doing great together.
Thank you!
Congratulations April on your new channel name 🎉
Excited to see more and the great unhoard project!
💛
I love Tracy and Ruby! The name didn’t surprise me. I kinda wondered why you weren’t using it already. This is one final reveal I am really looking forward to, even though it looks like it’s going to be a minute.😄 I have to say, I’m missing Izzy a little.
Tracy your speed was incredible, it felt like you really hit a stride! Well done! ❤
💛
Hi! Just found you. I love the name of your channel. As a matter of fact, the idea of space is a huge motivator for me when I decide whether to declutter something or buy something. "Do I value this thing enough to sacrifice my feeling of spaciousness?" Is the leading question for me.
Love this episode and the last. Looking forward to checking out "the great unhoard"!
New subscriber I’m loving the content, and wonderful Tracey 🦋
This is inspiration for me to let go of more things.
Looking forward to the continuation 😊
more to come soon! 💛
I got rid of everything that doesn't fit, and everything that is more than 2 years old. Freeing! The only problem was watching hundreds of dollars disappear! Sigh! (maybe thousands!)
Yay Tracy for getting started! 🥳👏👏👏 Love the new name! 💛
Yay! Thank you!
I love the name! I actually realized, once you said you changed names, that I had bypassed a few of your videos because I thought it was about traveling or super minimalism, etc. This name makes more sense💜
Ooooh I hope you film the bag declutter! 🥳
we willl!
Goooo spacemakers!🎉
💛
Love the new name & branding! Enjoy your channel and style with how you work with people!
Thank you so much!
