China Doll you stated exactly how I feel about our Dainty Catherine. She is absolutely so adorable. Catherine I can’t say thanks enough that you come all the way from Ireland to California to visit me. I love having tea and biscuits with you because you are so fun whether we’re traveling or planting or cleaning junk drawers. God bless you sweet lady 💕👍💕🐶💕🐶💕🙋♀️
What I like the most, that you do things for yourself. Not for Pinterest or Instagram. I love that you organize your HOME (for your own need) and not a HOUSE (for others to see). And who needs the labels when you know where your stuff is anyway! :D
I organize by most used rather than putting "like" with "like" so every drawer, shelf, cupboard, closet, and bin in my little one bedroom apartment is a "random" area. I'm sure people wonder what kind of crazy orgizational system is this lady using?! But it works for me! 😊😆💖
Your weekly video is what makes Thursdays fun to wake up to. I have Dainty Diaries, my cuppa tea and a muffin to greet each Thursday. It doesn't get any better.
Oh Catherine you are so down to earth, this is why I just love you to bits. This is why you are one of my favourite you tubers. I can relate to how Real you are. I cannot get into some of these you tubers whose home just look like no one lives at these homes. The homes look Staged. I love that you laugh at your mistakes and share honestly how you have made a blunder along the way. Don't ever change being you, love you bunches from Canada.🥰🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦
I’m a lady in my 60s and I’m moving house soon, I love your style, think I’m going shabby chic in my new place! I watch all your videos, you’re inspirational . Thank you xx
From your biggest fan in the USA! Love Thursday's...I know you will be on doing something fun. I think your house is just amazing. I admire you so much for making a plan and working and saving until you see it through. Like your en suite bathroom, all of your shelving, your greenhouse and your planting beds...just to name a few things. I also like it so much because you press fabric before you sew. Now you say that's a small thing, but it makes me happy! You’re a wonderful hostess to invite all of us into your home and life each week to share whatever is going on. Thank you, sweet Catherine for the inspiration each week❤️🙏❤️ 🇺🇸
Now I want to clean my junk drawer! And you need a tall friend to reach in those upper cabinets so you do not have to climb! I am 5 ft 1 inch, and I have to climb for all but the bottom shelves! Such is the life of a dainty, short woman! Love your attitude about cleaning, organizing. I want me home to look like people live there! Love your smile and your “cheeky thumbs up” attitude!
Loved watching this. It's motivating me to tackle some cabinets that I've been putting off. Not only are your videos entertaining...but they're motivating.
I prefer your sensible, realistic approach to organising rather than labelling everything which reduces flexibility. You’ve inspired me to clear out my kitchen cabinets and drawers. Yes, I also have a disaster drawer … but after watching your process it won’t be a disaster for much longer 😉🇦🇺
Hello from California ~ made my teapot of Barry’s settled down to watch my weekly Dainty Diaries🌻 always inspiring, and Catherine you are such a joy! ❤️😻
Channeling my inner scarecrow 🤣 you are too cute ❣️ Yes, I have more than one drawer! I have one cabinet that is for over flow items. It has dishes, canned goods and storage containers. I'm terrible about storage containers 😉 Cheeky 👍, take care 💞
I watched both Marie Kondo and the show you referenced before beginning my declutter. I thought the Marie Kondo advice to partition drawers was good. I did not go out and buy anything; I made use of all the plastic tubs in which food is packaged. The container in which eclairs were sold make perfect storage trays for batteries. Meat containers are deep enough to store cables, USB drives, keys. I feel good about this as I have been able to reduce my plastic throwaways. And these trays are free.
Good on you for helping the environment and recycling the throwaways. I have also noticed how useful these items we usually throw away each day can be and have started doing the same.
I'm not into labeling either. I also don't like the organizing process but love neatness. I enjoy your channel, listening to you speak and your expressions. You are adorable.
Oh, this makes me drool, little baskets full of organized stuff! I am happy with my kitchen and all, but dream of a bin inside. Everything here is petite. So those darn things are an eyesore. One day eh XD
As always very inspiring to watch. I knew this video was coming, Yahoo after a while you know there’s a job lurking around, and you can’t keep hiding it. Reminded me of when your laundry area drove you nuts. Thank you for sharing Smiles from down under. 👍😀💐🇳🇿
Organization does not need to be beautiful, just functional for you. My favorite is the goodies cupboard (I notice it is down low so no steps tool required) 😄
Hi Catherine. I have just found you. I just love how motivated you are with your creative, ingenious ideas. Such a hands on girl, so nice to watch all that you are doing and what you have achieved. Amazing! I must say it is so good to see you de-clutter, as a more rearrange rather than throw out everything. Yeah ...someone who actually has some things and they want to keep most of their purchases in the de-clutter process. What a breathe of fresh air you are to watch. You are very sensible and thrifty and love that too about you. Many more in your age group need to be more like you. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Sending you well wishes from Australia.
I too have a random kitchen press.. Did some organizing a month back, so it's contents have changed slightly - less cluttered. Was all I needed it to be - for now.. Haha! Love your channel, lady.
I needed this video! I was feeling that I was obsessing about organizing and reorganizing. I thought I was doing something wrong because it wasn’t staying organized by itself. It is a constant struggle for me but I am getting better at paring down, donating and just throwing out crap that I’ve thought I might use. That comes from being raised by parents who grew up during the depression, I guess.
G'day Catherine watching you from country Cootamundra in New South Wales, Australia 😊 After watching your storage solutions for your office I just ordered the IKEA Hemnes and Kallax items for my craft room. So this was perfect timing girl 👍 good to see how you organised your office drawers. Thank you for your inspiration - after many years as a crafter I'm excitedly looking forward to having an awesome craft and sewing room 👏 You're an angel touching many people's lives ❣️
Back in April I started to declutter and reorganize my home. I did one project at a time, some areas were super easy and others took more time. My last project was my small walk in closet which really surprised me. I changed my hangers over to blush pink velvet no slip hangers ( so pretty !) and thought that was all I needed to really do. There was so much more to be done in there, even thought it didn't look too bad. Several bags of donations, a new shoe rack, and lots of sorting through 4 days later, and its finally done. Sometimes little jobs turn into big ones. I've never had a drawer of doom lol. Thanks for the video, always a pleasure to watch. 🥰🎃🍃🍂🍁🎃🌞🌛✝️🥰🎃🍃🍂🍁🎃🌞🌛✝️
It wasn't too many days ago that I watched last year's for the first time and this time around there was a definite difference! Your last year's looked like mine currently do and the before this year is where I'd like to get mine! Lol! Then I'll crawl towards the dividers! Lol!
You are just so much fun to watch. We moved this year and had a huge declutter and I swear I’m not buying stuff I don’t need so there’s no draws of doom 😂. Thanks for just being you
Catherine, you did a great job! As long as it works for you....where is the chocolate? I love e all your tea cups!! I think this is something you have to do maybe twice a year....you did good!!😉👍💖☕
Drawers absolutely need to come with dividers!! Cleaning out & organizing as well, no drawer, container or room is safe! I love how the office drawers you personalized have held up 😁☺
Oh, this was fun to watch- especially since I think I spotted some beautiful artwork in one of those pads of paper ;). I just did a bit of Organization myself -helps me breeze through a project, which is so helpful. (I saved a few pennies by repurposing product containers and takeaway food dishes.)
Love these videos! We bought a load of kilner jars and a label maker!💪😜 after our kitchen was renovated. Our kitchen cupboards look soooooo fab, every time I open the cupboard there should be the sound they use for angels on many RUclips videos 😹😹 i really look forward to weekly inspiration from you. ☺️💕 oh, and yes there’s a whole cupboard full of booze too! 😜 x
I save glasses and mugs to plant succulents in them. Either use them as starters… Or to give away as gifts in the little mug or glass that they’re in. ♥️♥️
Love your attitude . I used to be very organised but I have decided thstcthat is a lot of work and their are other things I like to do. so now I'm less organised and spend time doing things I enjoy .
I find it so satisfying to open a cupboard and to see everything in its place. Using baskets in the kitchen cupboards is so clever. I also LOVE the clear boxes for food items. My big goal for 2022 is to make a concentrated effort to cut down on food waste. Waste in general, but food waste mostly. I need to get me some of those clear containers for the fridge ^_^
“I look like Worzel Gummidge” 🤣 Girl you are a TONIC, I just love you!! Amazing how relaxing it is watching someone organise stuff but the total opposite doing it yourself. Like you I have been procrastinating doing my kitchen presses since I had work done a few weeks ago, but you’ve just motivated me so thanks for that. Well I’ll say thanks now but I maybe cursing you later 🤣🤣😘
Really nice organizing video..love it..👌👌👌👌I just in the same situation..organizing my kitchen..thank you for the tips love from Los Angeles California..🙋🏻♀️🙏🌻
Inspirational to see a reorg! I got all the seasonal decor organized in bins but still need to label and stack where i can quickly see whats what. I too had seed packets in various places and maybe a greenhouse is in my future. Yours is adorable!
Oh the drawer of death 😂😂😂 I’m wayyy over quota on those around my house 😂😂😂 I think you may have a coffee mug addiction dear Catherine 😂😂😂 maybe a Catherine’s coffee cup 12 step program? 😂😂😂 I’m sorry I’m feeling goofy today. Loved all the organizing! Can’t wait to see your greenhouse this spring! BTW, you could never be a scarecrow girl...too beautiful!!! Cheeky thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 have a great weekend!!! Much love ✌🏻💖🙏🏻💐🌸🌷🌺🌹🌻
Your under the sink cabinets look easy to clean. But mine were just pressed wood. I bought some press and peel tile and put it under my sinks, bathroom drawers, storage drawers, and kitchen drawers and now I just need to wipe them clean and not have to use shelf liner any longer. Also you must think ahead and calculate how many divider bins you need. Everything came out so nice and neat looking.
This was awesome. I think your tools should be in your shed to make room for more craft supplies though. LMAO! 'Who needs a sexy mop bucket'? With your glasses cupboard - you should divide one side for a bar set up (include your bottle of booze) and the other for everyday glasses and mugs. Love your channel x
Always love your organization videos, definitely motivates me to organize my home 😊 I love how you displayed your tea cups on the top shelf in your kitchen, very cute! 💕💕💕
Hi Catherine, I love your kitchen, mine is a lot smaller. I have a built in cupboard in my living room next to my kitchen. And I use that as my pantry, that would probably seem odd to most people 😂 have a lovely weekend 💖😊
Oh my this was quite a task. I loved watching. Definitely inspired. Hats off to you Love. 🤩 Tho, I will admit, I do get quite upset at my lack of ability to do those awe causing organizations skills some people possess. That ability to sort things in a majestic color coded “sea” of symmetry that is beyond JUST organized. Awesome job! Very🧘♀️
We call that random drawer ( The Junk Drawer) . That junk drawer is always a mess 10 minutes after it's cleaned out. lol By the way Catherine , I am always here but don't usually comment , I actually binge watch you when I see a post. Like ASMR, just calms and relaxes me. lol
Your hair is beautiful!!!!! shiny and full!!! ooooh I am reorganizing myself. Today I tackled the contents of the attic and reorganized the garage. YEY!!! OOOOOh the kitchen hmmmm(mine that is)
Enjoyed watching this video. I found myself reorganising my food cupboard at midnight last week because I had bought some tubs. As it turned out, they didn't fit the shelves but the cupboard got reorganised with one new tub and the previous old ones. What happened to the new ones that didn't fit? Well, I cleaned my fridge today and all the new tubs are now in use in there! Win, win! Looking forward to your next video, whatever the topic. 😊👍
I have to do my bedroom and kitchen in the organizing department. I did the fridge so I am good on that and that took a whole day! Again thank you for your video and you have a good Friday and weekend. Can't wait till next Thursday's video.
i think i win for most random kitchen cupboard... we have a shower in ours... when i was growing up, my grandparents lived in the bottom of our house and me and my parents lived in the top half... we had 2 living rooms and 2 kitchens... my craft room is in what was the upstairs kitchen because it's got the most plug sockets at desk height lol... so to save my grandparents having to come all the way upstairs for a shower, we put one in their kitchen cupboard because the downstairs bathroom is only big enough for a toilet and sink... after they passed away we got the house back to one but never bothered taking out the kitchen shower... it's fully tiled with a mirrored cabinet and all... people always think it's crazy but it solved the problem!! xx
@@DaintyDiaries it’s not currently connected so it’s basically just a cupboard atm but the plan is to reconnect it so my dad doesn’t have to go upstairs as much, he’s got really bad arthritis in his knees! But it’s currently where the pots, toilet roll, kitchen roll and clothes pegs live 😂 xx
I like to be organized but like you I just can't do the labeling. That is going to far for me, lol. I do like to organize cords with toilet paper tubes, or paper towel tubes. Quite handy and keep them from being all over. You did a good job. As long as you know where things are who needs labels.
That’s brilliant thank you for sharing that I have to get some of them drawers from IKEA storage one because I’ve got the same unit it’s like a bluey colour enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing that take care keep safe all the family 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
I need you to sprinkle your Dainty Dust (the sweet kind, like Fairy Dust 😉) to get me up and going! I have so much to do prepping the house to put on the market in a week or so and let me tell ya, I excel at waiting til the last minute to organize it all. 😁. Still haven’t got that door painted…thanks for always cheering us on and up! ❤️
Lol, I have more than 1 drawer of doom. I remember way back when the label making machines first came on the scene. My mum who had always leaned more than a little to the fastidious side took to organizing & labeling.. everything! Then she began harping when nobody else was in complete compliance with her obsession. My dad, heaven forbid, mixed his white socks on the dark socks side of his sock drawer. The harping began and my dad having had enough took the label maker outside & ran over it with his truck. He gave us permission to remove all labels from our bedrooms - which we promptly did! That's been one of the favorite stories told during family reunions & even my mum got a good laugh from it. I organize just enough to mostly be able to find what I need when I need it and do try to make sure I don't have anything I haven't touched in the last few years. Well, mostly anyway. I do still have those lamps & lampshades from many years ago I still swear I'm going to revamp, rewire and recover the shades. Only because they're such unique lamps & shades for some reason I think I must have them on the top shelf of my closet doing absolutely no good except collecting dust. lol
I remember the label maker years too. I think labelling has its time like when a large family is in the throws of child rearing... it helps everyone participate in the attempt at staying on top of the cleaning and organizing. But, once you're past that stage, you can free yourself from it if it's more annoying than it is helpful. I used to feel the same way about bins. I couldn't figure out why people would put things in bins if it was going on a shelf in a cupboard. Open shelf maybe but a hidden shelf? What's the point? But now I'm obsessed with bins! I'll probably put smaller bins in larger bins inside a cupboard someday lol! 😆
I use the cardboard toilet tissue cylinders to tidy-up cords. You can cover them with pretty paper, or not, and fold up the cords and hide them away in the cylinders.
Love that your wine glasses are on the bottom shelf and water glasses are on the top shelf. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that too! Lol!
Priorities, love it. 🤣
Absolutely my thought! who needs water... where's the wine :D
China Doll you stated exactly how I feel about our Dainty Catherine. She is absolutely so adorable. Catherine I can’t say thanks enough that you come all the way from Ireland to California to visit me. I love having tea and biscuits with you because you are so fun whether we’re traveling or planting or cleaning junk drawers. God bless you sweet lady 💕👍💕🐶💕🐶💕🙋♀️

What I like the most, that you do things for yourself. Not for Pinterest or Instagram. I love that you organize your HOME (for your own need) and not a HOUSE (for others to see). And who needs the labels when you know where your stuff is anyway! :D

Awwww so happy to hear that Zoe ❤️❤️
While I'm there, I'm de-cluttering any nay sayers from my life too. They go in the box for throwing away.
Well done you 👏 👍 ✔
Oh Catherine you are so down to earth, this is why I just love you to bits. This is why you are one of my favourite you tubers. I can relate to how Real you are. I cannot get into some of these you tubers whose home just look like no one lives at these homes. The homes look Staged. I love that you laugh at your mistakes and share honestly how you have made a blunder along the way. Don't ever change being you, love you bunches from Canada.🥰🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦
Awwwww I really appreciate that 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I echo this sentiment. Hugs to you from England. 🤗
I’m a lady in my 60s and I’m moving house soon, I love your style, think I’m going shabby chic in my new place! I watch all your videos, you’re inspirational . Thank you xx
Thanks Susan aw that means so much to me, ❤️ best of luck with the move!!
Just seen 3 vids of yours dont know who you are or what you do but your chirpy nature cheers me up lol.
Aw thank you 🥰🥰🥰
From your biggest fan in the USA! Love Thursday's...I know you will be on doing something fun. I think your house is just amazing. I admire you so much for making a plan and working and saving until you see it through.

Oh Ava this is so kind of you 😍❤️that means so much to me! Thanks so much for watching and all the support 🥰
i always think the same thing! her house is so great!
Now I want to clean my junk drawer! And you need a tall friend to reach in those upper cabinets so you do not have to climb! I am 5 ft 1 inch, and I have to climb for all but the bottom shelves! Such is the life of a dainty, short woman! Love your attitude about cleaning, organizing. I want me home to look like people live there! Love your smile and your “cheeky thumbs up” attitude!
You are so funny, laughing at yourself. I love your personality.
Aw that's so sweet Kathy thanks so much ❤️
It's so nice to watch you being in such a good mood and so realistic and funny about yourself and what you like and need! Thanks for cheering us up!
Aw thank you thats so kind 😍❤️
I have a " room of doom"!! LOL AND its my favorite room in the house! So I am watching this so I can get off the rotunda and do it!!
Loved watching this. It's motivating me to tackle some cabinets that I've been putting off. Not only are your videos entertaining...but they're motivating.
Yay! ❤️ glad you got some motivation
You always make me smile thanks lovely Catherine x
I was organizing pantry closet, refrigerator, under my bed got shoes and closets , almost done , so I enjoyed watching you.
What do you do for a living? You are probably a valued employee. Your work ethic is impressive!
I prefer your sensible, realistic approach to organising rather than labelling everything which reduces flexibility. You’ve inspired me to clear out my kitchen cabinets and drawers. Yes, I also have a disaster drawer … but after watching your process it won’t be a disaster for much longer 😉🇦🇺
Yes, flexibility ❤️ that’s what we need x
I am so chilled now!😊🌟
👍 My drawer of doom was sorted yesterday.
Love your craft room
You are so funny,you are so uplifting,wish I lived next door to you lol.
I love watching organization videos. Loved this!!
It feels so good to get organized! You go girl!!
Thank you Catherine 🙌loved seeing you worklol😉🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen fromAustralia

Hello California! Thanks for watching Joyce 😍❤️ yayy Barry's!
Oh enjoy. It has to be barrys.... I'm sending some over to my friends in the states with someone going back.. That was their request!
You always look lovely. I just wish my house were so organized. You are a ball of energy. Loads of love from Texas,USA.😉

I just love this! And your organizing is absolutely fine. There is no need to make cabinets/cupboards perfect unless one lives in one...
So true ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you sweetheart
Love everything you do!!💕💕💕💕💕

Organizing videos are relaxing, yours is as well as entertaining. I love watching you as I find you funny too. More videos pls. ❤
Aw yay thanks girl❤️ that's so sweet X
Have I ever told you how much I envy your beautiful mugs???
Back in April I started to declutter and reorganize my home. I did one project at a time, some areas were super easy and others took more time.

Aw thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes, I too have a sweetie cupboard! Again you have inspired me to do some sorting out in cupboards and drawers. Thanks for sharing. Xxxxx
Aw happy you got some inspo Alison ❤️❤️❤️
You are just so much fun to watch. We moved this year and had a huge declutter and I swear I’m not buying stuff I don’t need so there’s no draws of doom 😂. Thanks for just being you
You gotta be strict! 😂
Catherine, you did a great job! As long as it works for you....where is the chocolate? I love e all your tea cups!! I think this is something you have to do maybe twice a year....you did good!!😉👍💖☕
Great job ,give yourself a pad on the old back!!😇😍
Drawers absolutely need to come with dividers!! Cleaning out & organizing as well, no drawer, container or room is safe! I love how the office drawers you personalized have held up 😁☺
Grand job and yeah can't be arsed with each little label for every basket either 🤣 it's enough that it's tidy 👍🏻
Yeah that's how I feel too! It's still nice to feel organised
Oh, this was fun to watch- especially since I think I spotted some beautiful artwork in one of those pads of paper ;). I just did a bit of Organization myself -helps me breeze through a project, which is so helpful. (I saved a few pennies by repurposing product containers and takeaway food dishes.)
Yea 🤣 I found old art and I was like “hey these aren’t bad” 🤣🤣🤣
@@DaintyDiaries , I see there was a Bob Ross’esk mountain scene in there 🏔🏔🏔 Have you watched the documentary on Netflix about him? Very sad 😢
@@DaintyDiaries The pieces looked really lovely. Even if travel is constrained these days I bet you have lots of great photos for inspo☺️
Love these videos! We bought a load of kilner jars and a label maker!💪😜 after our kitchen was renovated.

I save glasses and mugs to plant succulents in them. Either use them as starters… Or to give away as gifts in the little mug or glass that they’re in. ♥️♥️
Love your attitude . I used to be very organised but I have decided thstcthat is a lot of work and their are other things I like to do. so now I'm less organised and spend time doing things I enjoy .
Yay!!! It’s Thursday and Catherine is on RUclips!!! It’s a great day!!!
Yayy welcome!! Thanks for watching 🥰 have a fab weekend Roxy ❤️
Neat and tidy is good enough.🤓👍
Brilliant video - Thank you!!!

I live in a tiny house , everything are placed into containers so much easier to remove clean store and find..😅😁🥰
I love it! The Alex and Kallax are some of the best things ever and loved seeing it organized.
Total lifesavers!! X
Love you! Thank you for entertaining us and teaching us a few things! God bless.

Inspirational to see a reorg! I got all the seasonal decor organized in bins but still need to label and stack where i can quickly see whats what. I too had seed packets in various places and maybe a greenhouse is in my future. Yours is adorable!
Thanks for stopping by ❤️
Oh the drawer of death 😂😂😂 I’m wayyy over quota on those around my house 😂😂😂 I think you may have a coffee mug addiction dear Catherine 😂😂😂 maybe a Catherine’s coffee cup 12 step program? 😂😂😂 I’m sorry I’m feeling goofy today. Loved all the organizing! Can’t wait to see your greenhouse this spring! BTW, you could never be a scarecrow girl...too beautiful!!! Cheeky thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 have a great weekend!!! Much love ✌🏻💖🙏🏻💐🌸🌷🌺🌹🌻
Aw Tina you're so right 😂😂 total mug addiction 😂 thanks for watching ❤️
I actually have 5 stash it drawers. Looks great!
Love it 🤣 5!
I did my kitchen drawers I felt so much better after and throw some items out so tidy and declutter it's so good
I love those Ikea HÅLLBAR bins. I use them to organize my deep freezer to make it easy to find things and clean and/or move when I need to.
Your under the sink cabinets look easy to clean. But mine were just pressed wood. I bought some press and peel tile and put it under my sinks, bathroom drawers, storage drawers, and kitchen drawers and now I just need to wipe them clean and not have to use shelf liner any longer. Also you must think ahead and calculate how many divider bins you need. Everything came out so nice and neat looking.
I love your vlogs and that you keep it real thank you. You are a very talented independent woman, keep being you it’s great 👍🏻😊
You're so kind thanks Deborah❤️
My friends and I always need snacks after we have a few drinks. LOL Sounds like the perfect combo. Have a great day!
So true!!! Need a nibble after some drinks ❤️😍
This was awesome. I think your tools should be in your shed to make room for more craft supplies though. LMAO! 'Who needs a sexy mop bucket'? With your glasses cupboard - you should divide one side for a bar set up (include your bottle of booze) and the other for everyday glasses and mugs. Love your channel x
Always love your organization videos, definitely motivates me to organize my home 😊 I love how you displayed your tea cups on the top shelf in your kitchen, very cute! 💕💕💕
Awww thank you ❤️
Very need.great job
Great video, love seeing your workroom organising ideas.
Thanks Fiona, thanks for watching ❤️
Oh well done 👏. Nothing like getting the drawer or cupboard of doom sorted 🤗🧡
Had to be done! Well..until next time anyways 😂 thanks for stopping by ❤️🤗
Hi Catherine, I love your kitchen, mine is a lot smaller. I have a built in cupboard in my living room next to my kitchen. And I use that as my pantry, that would probably seem odd to most people 😂 have a lovely weekend 💖😊
Noo not at all! Sounds like you've made good use of the space and that's what matters ❤️
@@DaintyDiaries yes 😊
Looks great. I need to do all my kitchen and bath cupboards. You have motivated me.
Yayy I'm happy to share the motivation ❤️ hope your tidying goes smoothly
Love watching organizational video's. Very motivating ❤👍
Love sharing the organisation motivation ❤️
Oh my this was quite a task. I loved watching. Definitely inspired. Hats off to you Love. 🤩
Tho, I will admit, I do get quite upset at my lack of ability to do those awe causing organizations skills some people possess. That ability to sort things in a majestic color coded “sea” of symmetry that is beyond JUST organized. Awesome job! Very🧘♀️
We call that random drawer ( The Junk Drawer) . That junk drawer is always a mess 10 minutes after it's cleaned out. lol By the way Catherine , I am always here but don't usually comment , I actually binge watch you when I see a post. Like ASMR, just calms and relaxes me. lol
Aw that's so sweet thanks for always watching Kathleen ❤️
Your hair is beautiful!!!!! shiny and full!!! ooooh I am reorganizing myself. Today I tackled the contents of the attic and reorganized the garage. YEY!!! OOOOOh the kitchen hmmmm(mine that is)
Awww thank you sweetheart ❤️
Great job I have been in that kind of mood lately too......My random drawer is a hutch filled w/ papers, alcohol, Kuerig and mixer......lol
Enjoyed watching this video. I found myself reorganising my food cupboard at midnight last week because I had bought some tubs. As it turned out, they didn't fit the shelves but the cupboard got reorganised with one new tub and the previous old ones. What happened to the new ones that didn't fit? Well, I cleaned my fridge today and all the new tubs are now in use in there! Win, win! Looking forward to your next video, whatever the topic. 😊👍
I have to do my bedroom and kitchen in the organizing department. I did the fridge so I am good on that and that took a whole day! Again thank you for your video and you have a good Friday and weekend. Can't wait till next Thursday's video.
Aw fridges are hard, and I hate food waste so I am always trying to keep it organized ❤️
@@DaintyDiaries Yep for sure and food waste is something we don't want to see.
i think i win for most random kitchen cupboard... we have a shower in ours... when i was growing up, my grandparents lived in the bottom of our house and me and my parents lived in the top half... we had 2 living rooms and 2 kitchens... my craft room is in what was the upstairs kitchen because it's got the most plug sockets at desk height lol... so to save my grandparents having to come all the way upstairs for a shower, we put one in their kitchen cupboard because the downstairs bathroom is only big enough for a toilet and sink... after they passed away we got the house back to one but never bothered taking out the kitchen shower... it's fully tiled with a mirrored cabinet and all... people always think it's crazy but it solved the problem!! xx
Okay you win! I love that you kept it too ❤️
@@DaintyDiaries it’s not currently connected so it’s basically just a cupboard atm but the plan is to reconnect it so my dad doesn’t have to go upstairs as much, he’s got really bad arthritis in his knees! But it’s currently where the pots, toilet roll, kitchen roll and clothes pegs live 😂 xx
I like to be organized but like you I just can't do the labeling. That is going to far for me, lol. I do like to organize cords with toilet paper tubes, or paper towel tubes. Quite handy and keep them from being all over. You did a good job. As long as you know where things are who needs labels.
That’s brilliant thank you for sharing that I have to get some of them drawers from IKEA storage one because I’ve got the same unit it’s like a bluey colour enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing that take care keep safe all the family 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
I need you to sprinkle your Dainty Dust (the sweet kind, like Fairy Dust 😉) to get me up and going! I have so much to do prepping the house to put on the market in a week or so and let me tell ya, I excel at waiting til the last minute to organize it all. 😁. Still haven’t got that door painted…thanks for always cheering us on and up! ❤️
That last minute motivation is real 🤣
Lol, I have more than 1 drawer of doom.
I remember way back when the label making machines first came on the scene. My mum who had always leaned more than a little to the fastidious side took to organizing & labeling.. everything! Then she began harping when nobody else was in complete compliance with her obsession. My dad, heaven forbid, mixed his white socks on the dark socks side of his sock drawer. The harping began and my dad having had enough took the label maker outside & ran over it with his truck. He gave us permission to remove all labels from our bedrooms - which we promptly did! That's been one of the favorite stories told during family reunions & even my mum got a good laugh from it. I organize just enough to mostly be able to find what I need when I need it and do try to make sure I don't have anything I haven't touched in the last few years. Well, mostly anyway. I do still have those lamps & lampshades from many years ago I still swear I'm going to revamp, rewire and recover the shades. Only because they're such unique lamps & shades for some reason I think I must have them on the top shelf of my closet doing absolutely no good except collecting dust. lol
I remember the label maker years too. I think labelling has its time like when a large family is in the throws of child rearing... it helps everyone participate in the attempt at staying on top of the cleaning and organizing. But, once you're past that stage, you can free yourself from it if it's more annoying than it is helpful. I used to feel the same way about bins. I couldn't figure out why people would put things in bins if it was going on a shelf in a cupboard. Open shelf maybe but a hidden shelf? What's the point? But now I'm obsessed with bins! I'll probably put smaller bins in larger bins inside a cupboard someday lol! 😆
I use the cardboard toilet tissue cylinders to tidy-up cords. You can cover them with pretty paper, or not, and fold up the cords and hide them away in the cylinders.
