  • In this video, I organize my Utility Hall Closet where I store all my household supplies. If you are looking for inspiration on how to store your household utility items, this is the video for you! I spent nearly the entire day organizing and cleaning out this closet and I loved the way it turned out. If you like home organizing videos, you'll enjoy this satisfying Organize with Me video!

    Amen to the disclaimer of getting to a place "that's good enough" and "functional". Tfs

    The before was pretty good, but I can see that having items in categories makes the closet more functional. I also appreciate you saying to aim for 'good enough' as I can get obsessed with getting things perfect. Love to see Clover😊

    I'm glad you're encouraging people to aim for something that's actually working for them, rather than Etsy Perfect, Kay - it's got to the point where people freak out if their house isn't picture-perfect nowadays! :/
    When I think back to all of the bits and pieces I used, that were given to me as a newly-wed, mostly second-hand, and how they did the job until we could afford to buy new without getting into debt, I could cry at the debt some youngsters get into becaue it all has to match! :/
    I loved what you did with the Utility cupboard, Kay :) There's a place for everything, and everything in it's place - just right for OCD me! Lol

    We have 2 coat closets in our entryway so I turned one into a utility type closet. It stores our vacuum, step stool, suitcases and a few bins of other things. It could use a reorganizing soon. Thanks for sharing.

    I think your best advice is to "get to a place of good enough" - living in a Pinterest setup is a setup photos using less items than they own. I love that advice!

    Let me just say having the elfa shelving in there first of all is brilliant in and of itself. I organize for our lifestyle personally. Real life for me is not the way I live a very busy life. I go for ease of clean and clutter free areas and for us it works best. Its easy to put things in a designated spot for everyone to do in my family and they and I count on that. TFS. Absolutely adore little boo Clover🐶💙

    Morning from the UK :-) This was a great start to my day, thanks Kay. Definitely motivating and very satisfying to see the before and after. I've been slowly working my way round my flat and have 4 under bed boxes that definitely need re-organising so thanks for the inspiration! Am dying to know if you figured out what the black oval shaped thing was for? :-) Also, will you be doing a seed planting video in the coming weeks? Would love to see that. Stay safe and give the bean a hug from me. Thanks for the wonderful content, Kay. Really appreciate it, now more than ever :-)
