Pro organizer here. Great job on the closet. One thing I would recommend is to put the toilet paper and paper towels down low and the canned goods at eye level. It will be easier to see what you have and not have to squat or bend down to hunt.

Great end result! Seems like you've gotten through almost your entire living space now. After you have had the time to live in your new tidy space, could it be an idea to do follow-up videos for each room/area and see what has worked and what needs another decluttering?

OMG like i am hearing myself when i am in the full power of cleaning and reorganizing, until i hit a problem and keep saying YOU CAN DO IT. You are doing a great job tho.

When it comes to the books in your closet, you can stack them on floating shelves over your TV. That would look nice and you would open up more space in the closet. Just an idea ... : )

Yeah, I would store the books in the living room. I think there are many possible solutions from floating shelves somewhere to one of those book tower shelvings things etc. That would give more space in the closet for the ugly stuff and in my opinion books add coziness to a living room.

OMG! I am bugging your videos as I do a house clean, because I am avoiding working on my kitchen makeover, lol. You said early this video that it had stagnant energy and needed to be cleaned- and also that's why houses get haunted because its dead energy just sitting there. While I might like the ghosts (my childhood home that my parents built, I am the second owner), THIS is sooooo true. Like my brothers and sisters cleaned out a lot of stuff from this house after Mt dad passed, bit also left a lot of stuff. And frankly I've kinda filled it back up to cocoon my grief/depression/myself from life! It too me 7 yrs to decide.to makeover the kitchen and it needed it 17 yrs ago (my parents were alive then). I cried taking screws out of cabinet hinges for goodness sake! Lol. But i just heard you say this and it hit me, this house if filled with stagnant energy that I am trying to overcome! Wow! I needed that!

Looks great!! Hoping your washing machine can come out easily with the door organizer there.

If you have room to replace the damaged shelf you’ll have options to space things so you can see them easier. Maybe when you’ve sold the musical instrument.

I used to keep all the fancy bags and gift bags and even grocery bags. I would use the nice clothing store/gift bags for gifts, but I've stopped collecting them now. I still keep grocery bags when I get them cuz I use them as trash bags for smaller trash cans and when I clean my cat box.

I definitely keep fancy bags!!! I use them Incase I need to take something somewhere. Or as a gift bag.. I even used one to keep my underwear in on top of a small dresser while I was trying to decide on my bedroom suite and while I was waiting on the 12 weeks it took for it to come in.. The bag looked nice sitting out🤷🏼‍♀️

I remember I worked at Dillard's in the summer in high school and would get cute bags from the makeup ladies :) I love that Samson has his own shelf..

But of course they never quite live up to the times when we were teenagers and were obsessed with clothes. I've only been to Bloomingdales once in Chicago. We've never lived by one, but I liked it.
