Well, I can understand that ppl who work with deco need some, hoewever a wall full of Xmas stuff? I would declutter much more to get the space.
On normal years I decorate other people's homes and decorate for charity events, so I usually use almost all the Christmas decor I have. 😊
Christmas is the only season we decorate for so we have 12 totes. It will grow as we can afford to upgrade our garland for example from thin cheap kind to lush thick prelit kind 😍
I don't decorate for anyone but ourselves and I have six big toughtotes plus three tree boxes and a big tree bag and small boxes with fake poinsettias and wreaths and wrapping plus gift bags and boxes and bows and ribbons. They're stacked in the basement but still take up about 8 feet of wall space. I don't t do Easter or Halloween other than an orange pumpkin light, but I love Xmas, and I'm also in my 70s so I have stuff from 50 years ago, and gift ornaments from family and children from when I was a school librarian, it all means something to me. I donate several times a year and save things for the reuse centre, and my family. We're all different and have varying reasons for why we do what we do, to each his - or her! - own. One man's, or woman's, meat is another man or woman's poison. And that's okay. The world would be very very boring if everyone was the same as each other. Variety is the spice of life. And yeah, being old means you know a lot of clichés and maxims and idiomatic phrases. Clichés are clichés because they're true. 😉🎄🎄🎄 One last thing, I'm grateful that I have the space to keep what I like and the resources to have obtained them during my life. I know many aren't so lucky, which is why I also donate. 💖
@@ElinWinblad I decorate every room for Christmas as well as outside so I have lots. Each year I try to get rid of something if I bring something new in. That doesn’t always happen though. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Beruthiel45 that was very beautifully said. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us. 😊❤
I appreciate that you used the containers that you had. So many times other will dump their old containers to have their storage rooms insta worthy. I think this is beautiful and functional.
So glad you said that. Mine is a hodgepodge of bins and baskets but it mostly works. I don’t have a lot of wall space due to so many windows in our house. I moved here 5 years ago and he already had so much “stuff.” We just need to really work on organizing and decluttering. A lot of stuff needs to go to thrift stores, yard sale, and recycling.
I agree! It bugs me when so many people dump the containers they have to use the newest containers on the latest organizing video…especially the pantry/cabinet organizer ones!
I promise you, we all either have a Monica closet or a Monica room. Great transformation. Would like an update on how you store your other decor please?
Greetings from South Africa
My home is quite small, so what I do to help keep my stored decor items under control is designate a finite area for each category and when that's full I don't allow myself to spread out further. For example I have 4 storage boxes for my Christmas decor and everything MUST fit in those 4 boxes. If I buy a new item and it doesn't fit then an older item has to go. I have one closet shelf for my pillows, so if I see a new pillow I think I can't live without I know something old will have to go. For me, this system forces me to really think before I purchase anything new (in the past I've been very prone to impulse purchases!), and it makes storing everything very manageable. Yes, it takes some discipline, but it's worth it for the peace of mind it brings me!
Excellent system, and good for you! I used to do that, but stopped, and now my house is cluttered. This year I'm purging and then going back to the replacement principle.
@@angelarueger1108 you can do it!
You are great! You helped me want to get organized and declutter.
"Practical" is way better than "beautiful". Your room looks amazing! It's so nice, too, that your bins fit so beautifully, and are only one level deep. You can pull out a bin without having to move others out of the way!
Great tips. I really appreciate that it focusses more on reality and practicality than being photogenic. Awesome!!!!
Great job organizing and good advice about linen storage. My linen closet has been the bane of my existence for too long. I'll be flattering you by imitation as soon as I can find similar basket drawers to fit inside my closet!!
You are so lucky to have a whole room for storage. This is really great
does a entire basement count as "one of those rooms" lol 😂
I can relate, lol. My basement looks exactly like that!
If I don't know what to do with it, it will find a home in the basement lol I apparently don't know what to do with more then half the possessions I own 😂
XD
LOL you bet! 😅
Lol. Exactly what I was thinking. Glad to hear I’m not alone.
Thank you for all the tips and for demonstrating what some of us do, I have been cleaning and donating because I have managed to "collect" so much clutter with time, that reminded me of a basement I had so many years ago!
Yes, it can get out of hand. The issue for me is, I actually USE all of that stuff
I love your storage room!
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
You help to inspire the rest of us!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great job! Yes , I would love to see how your store your decor. 🌸
Love how practical it is and they you reused bins! It's tempting to have it all match but so so so much better for the environment and our wallets to reuse, like you did. Awesome!
Thanks Tracy!
Just wanted to say that you are so beautiful both with and without makeup. Love that you keep it real with lounge wear in your videos when it makes sense to not be all dolled up. ❤️
My spare room & my garage look like that room. My daughter & I haven't gotten inspired to tackle them yet. This helps so much! Thank you!
I LOVE those home depot shelves! I have several of them in my basement and in my garage !
Do you realize how fortunate you are to have that space?!?! Awesome!!!
Thank you for keepin' it real! I can relate!
My entire basement and just started working on it. Thank you for sharing 😄
Love your storage room. I can use these ideas for my garage where I store a lot of things.
Thanks so much. I needed this! Now going to sort out my own closet.
Very Motivating😉 My office and whole basement looks like your storage room before 😂 We have some shelves but could definitely use more.
You must feel such a sense of relief now that it’s done! The Crafty Organiser, who I also follow, always says “mess causes stress”.....so right!
Definitely! I'd much rather craft, but it's hard to feel inspired with a big mess!
Thank you for sharing! Looking to do my own storage project soon. I’ve learned that for me, clear organization is best. I’m slowly replacing older bins that aren’t clear and donating them.
Thank you. I store my Christmas decor by room. I usually grab my tub marked for the dining room tree and put that tree up first. For my living room tree which I call my Nostalgia tree, we put all of the ornaments that we've collected from various vacations or made on that. When I pack them away I sort out my daughters' into their own boxes so that when they move out they can decorate their own trees.
Inspiring. I like how the big labels brought a cohesive look even though you didn’t buy all matching bins. That is what was holding me back before
I’m desperately trying to declutter and organize my Christmas decor. I have way too much for what I use so now is the time to declutter. I absolutely love your shelf organization and usually stack my bins on top of each other but this is such a better idea.😊❤️
I need this in my life!!
Just came across this and love the tips! Can't wait to use these strategies in my own space. Got a lot to organize
Thanks for watching, Isaiah
Nothing better that start the year with order, knowing where everything is. Great job girl!!!!😊🤗🌟🌟🌟
Today is THE DAY! You've got me motivated Christina.I take a day every January to "thin the herd" in my storage room. Obviously there are sentimental holiday items, things my now-grown sons made back in the day, and such that will always justify a spot in my storage room. But I go through my fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving, spring/Easter, summer/patriotic and Christmas decor and purge what no longer speaks to me. And I also have an area with non-holiday decor like you (pillow covers, table cloths, wall art, etc.) that is organized. My three best tips: clear tubs that aren't so big that I can't carry them up the stairs, then table clothes and throw blankets stored on hangers inside DT garment bags, land finally abel, label, label!
I am here for this organization! I just moved so my basement needs organized since it’s holding all the bins from my move. Thanks for the motivation!
I just came home after the holidays and my dads birthday and my task list looked like your "before"- storage room ;) I was feeling super overwhelmed, but this has given me the motivation to takle them one by one. Thank you, yor content really helps me stay grounded on busy days.
I’am so happy that you did this video!!!! I have a storage room just like you. Thank you for the tips, tricks, and motivation to get me organized 😃
This is so perfect for me today!!! I have 2 areas that look like the before picture. I can’t wait to get it all finished!
I loved these shelfs. I bought quite a few last summer. They are great.
Christina, I just want to tell you that you are so beautiful, girl! I love your sweater and your videos are always so helpful!
Love it thanks for dealing with the reality of our storage rooms. You are inspiring
My Christmas decor bins: red for decor/ornaments etc(each in separate totes but all same style and red tote), green toes for all garland, greenery, wreaths and lights.😃
Great Ideas. I use storage bins for my stuff too.
Congratulations! I love practical too! 💕💕
This is awesome Christina! You did a great job! I’m into a lot of organizing this year! I store my seasonal decorations in bins decided by colours and keep them in a storage room in my basement. But my crafting things are all over the house, I’m working on organizing those items so it will be easier for me to find things faster and be more productive.
Wow looks great. Getting ready to do my bedroom closet. Did it when I moved in 6 months ago. But need to do it again. Just put things in there to get them put away. Time to do it right and organize.
Love this! Looks great. I’d love to see the rest of your space.
Wow! What a transformation. I bought some of those ornament storage cases from Bed Bath and Beyond, so glad I did. I also cut down on a lot of boxes by using vacuum bags. ( The bags you fill then suck out all the air with the he vacuum). What a space saver that was. I have a lot of stuff but, only a small space to store it.
This made me smile seeing what you had accomplished. That was a big job. I have a small she shed and and I have shelving and tubs but I am not this organized but need to be. TFS.
You GO GIRL! Fantastic. Happy! Happy! Happy place! 😃👍🧡
i am doing thie but in my basement i bought 3 as well. it is a life changing
I have several rooms that need to be redone! Slowly working on it.
*Organization brings peace & serenity to me. That & I feel I have accomplished something. GREAT JOB‼️💯*
Great idea! This something I need to do.
Looks great! This is exactly what I needed. Thank you! ❤
I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to clean out my storage room. I'm slowly working my way around my home to declutter. Thanks for the inspiration! Functionality is so key! ❤
I am in the process of reorganizing my home, so yes, I have many of those rooms. Putting an order in for those shelves and totes from Home Depot. Thanks. New subbie BTW.
Lovely. Looks so nice and organized.
Thank you for sharing, I definitely have more than one room like that. Hopefully this will help!
I live in a mobile home so there is no room for storage. We put up a shed we picked up from Rona and most the stuff goes out there in bins. I usually just decorate for Christmas, but! I do change out my curtains, flowers, pillows etc. for Spring/Summer and then Fall/Winter(Mainly reds and plaids that take me in to Christmas). I have a wicker laundry basket on top of the counter over my W/D that "stores" my white curtains etc. off season. I do have two Ikea "under the bed" fabric storage bins that store my red and plaid curtains, pillow cases, towels etc. for Fall/Winter. When you live in a small space you have to be so creative with storage. Your storage room may not be pretty, but it is very satisfying for the "organizer" in me.
Wow . . . looks nice and orderly!
Great information ideas I have a storage room that needs this!
Thank you Christina for all the useful tips. I will now tackle the section in my garage that is urgently in need of attention. 🤗😘💖💖💖
You did a great job of showing how to group everything together. I love the way you set the shelves up!
I have a storage room and I recently bought some clear plastic containers to store all my Christmas decorations that was before in cardboard boxes. Now I can see them and it looks more organized and clean. 😉
Great job. And I love how you give multiple option ideas on everything you do 😊
Love this! Amazing transformation!
Im glad you used bins you already had! Way more practical and realistic👌🏼
Really great job, so smart.
This is very helpful to me. Thank you for this video
Looks awesome!! Most of us have unorganized spaces like this, I myself have been working on reorganizing my storage space and craft room, desperately needed it!!
Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!
Take care 💖 🙂
This space looks amazing!!! I can’t wait to start organizing my garage
My storage room is VERY BAD. I refer to it as my Monica closet, even though it is a whole room!!! This video has inspired me to get organised. Thanks for sharing x
Amazing! It's wonderful!
Thank you. Best organizing video I've watched 👍🏻🙂
Wonderful 👏!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Nicely done! I recently reorganized our Christmas decor as well. I have three themed trees, with a separate bin for the ornaments that go on each one. Fragile ornaments are wrapped in toilet paper for protection. I also have a bin that's just for indoor lights. I used to wrap the lights around wooden frames, but now I simply wrap them around my hand as they come off the tree, then place each string into its own plastic shopping bag. The colored lights go in a colored bag (any color), and the white ones go in a white bag. That way I know at a glance which is which. I've never had trouble untangling the strings the following year, and they fit so much better in the bin now. I keep my trees in their original boxes because they're tidy and compact. Other bins hold home decor and exterior lights. All bins are labeled with a 3x5 card affixed with packing tape, but I really like the look of your printed labels. Now to tackle my workshop.... :)
Wow, amazing! Thank you😊
I store my seasonal decor the same way. I do have it color/theme sorted. I no longer own a home so in my rental I have the garage walls lined with similar shelving. All seasonal decor, silk florals/wreaths, and fabric are stored in bins. This year I sorted Christmas bins of decor for my adult kids to take with them when they leave home (college kids). This will make decluttering easier as I am free to donate/sell any of the remaining decor.
Great use for your space.
It truned out awesome
Love that 800 sq ft home/office! Looks so welcoming! Saw the video where you did the fireplace surround. Still looks beautiful! It really does make a difference to use the vertical space! And it seems the planning stage is equally important - knowing the containers you will use and the exact measurements of wall space etc. Thanks for sharing this. This would help with organizing a craft room too!
Thanks Pam!
Opening one of your videos is like opening a box of the finest chocolate ♥️ Have enjoyed your video’s for years. I would love to see how you store your other items for decorations as well 😊
Excelllent tips and video, gives me ideas to organize my storage locker
You gave me inspiration!
Well Done! Bet this was a huge relief! Our storage is in our basement- in the furnace room. It needs more shelves. I’m going to look into those Home Depot ones! Thanks for the tips!
Great ideas. Thank you.
It looks wonderful
Looks much better! ☺
Wonderful organizing job. That much stuff would drive me nuts!!
Love it!Tyfs🏡💕
Wow love this. Looks so neat and easy to find things. I have to do the same. 😀❤️🇨🇦
Perfect organization
It looks so nice
Way to go we have to do our room again! We need to throw out/Declutter.
I have those black shelves in my laundry room! They are fantastic!!! Mississauga Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
This is awsome, your so independent😻
Love those shelves! I just got some too! Great tips!
So glad I found you!!!
Me too!
Love seeing this real world practical makeover that uses mismatched bins you have and just makes it work. I love the super pretty "buy a whole new room" look that sone folks do as well but it is real feeling projects like this that actually inspire me to organize my home
Thank you! I love aesthetically pleasing spaces, but really trying to balance that with practicality. ❤️
@@thediymommy the balance is greatly appreciated!!
I love what u did!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love it! I am a couponer/basket maker so my house is a total wreck! I will use this idea. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching.
