Wow, you've done an amazing job - especially with the little ones. Suprising how much space baby things and other things take up. We don't have a garage but a HUGE cupboard which is overflowing. If you open the door you're at risk of something falling down. I know what's in there - bins are clearly labelled and boxes self explanatory. Your garage looks fab, super organised and now you know what you have and can put your hands on it straight away. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing, from UK England. x

I must say that garage was quite a project getting it all cleaned out. I just found your channel, also found that you're from Puyallup. I drove on I-5 between Lacey where we lived and Ft.

I agree, when I click on a video that says ”KonMari” I expect a good declutter, not someone organizing their space and not declutter the stuff.

Using matching totes also helps things look more uniform and organized. Plus they stack better and you don’t have to be worried about trying to Tetris them together.

Definitely. Eventually we will have everything in those clear totes with matching vinyl labels.

Loved the video, brought back lots of memories of when my kids were little, I loved when you were holding River! I also like your perfectly imperfect garage, i did things a little differently because I had a couple storage rooms in my basement. But good job on grouping things together. I was wondering if you are able to switch out some of the bins so they would fit, like paint?
