What an excellent job the contractor did inside the storage area! And, your storage doors are fabulous, too! The declutters were very satisfying.❤ B&B are the cutest little kittens!
You know dear Catherine that I love watching EVERYTHING you post, but watching your babies grow , play, and take over their new home is so entertaining and precious! So cure how they follow their momma around! I’m so happy your have kittens in your life again! Also, I donate all of my craft and party supplies to our woman’s shelter here in Sacramento, California. They love it and they truly use them. So please excuse me while I declutter my craft room….again! Be blessed my friend! 💖🌷🦋
I am a minimalist, and decluttering is still something I have to do occasionally. Stuff just reproduces itself or something. It's one of life's mysteries!
Really like your new space. Enjoyed the decluttering. I'm feeling a bir suffocated when I look at how much stuff is on the walls. Thanks for the inspiration! Love the kittens. They must be great company. 😊
Hi Catherine your eaves cupboard has great storage. Your contractor did a great job. I feel so much better after a declutter as well. I call it an airing cupboard. Bán & Beag are so cute. Have a lovely weekend 😊
Make yourself some moving trollies for the storage space. It's just a wooden frame with swivel wheels in the corners. Will make getting things out and moving around easier.
I love your channel..... maybe put the small table that is upside down in the large tin container, at the end of the closet, were you were thinking about putting your Christmas stuff. Switch what is in the tin with what into the red container (that has the rolls), put the rolls inside the tin container, that way they are out of the way and lay flat. Put what is in the tin in to the red container, making it possible to close the red container, making it possible to stack another box on top of the red container. Label the red container so you know what is in it. Just a suggestion. Have a great day! Put the tin on top of the small table, if it fits.
Great hidden space! If you got those big hooks used for holding bikes, (or something similar) you could put up several to hold the long scraps of wood, freeing up more floor space
At 53, I've been a Potterhead for some years, the films are great (with a series planned), but I really recommend the books, they are extremely funny and have loads that were not included in the films, such as Peeves the Poltergeist. I own lots of Replicas, and it's getting to be a headache displaying it. Creating Extra storage would be a bonus, but I live in a Maisonette so it's just not possible.
Oh and where I live, in Malta we have two Water Heaters, a small one in the kitchen over the sink and a larger one in the bathroom to heat the water there.
Firstly... A 40 minute video. ❤. Secondly decluttering heaven, 😊and lastly Farrow and Ball do a paint colour called Setting Plaster so not painting it is the height of fashion ..! 🤣 It looks great and the kitties will love investigating. Looking forward you sorting the other 2 areas 💪
In your bedroom, where your loveseat is located, have you considered building an enclosed window seat in that space instead of cutting into the two walls on each side of the space? A window seat would provide you a place to sit and look out the window but also provide storage as well in the bottom part of the bench.
I call my airing cupboard the hot press now, after seeing two of your previous videos where you tidy it up. I am glad that your hot press gets in a state as much as mine after a while 😅 x
Hello dear Catherine and kittens 👋😊 I will repeat myself, but I insist that you are amazing, great, inspiring and VERY smart 😊👍 I really admire how hardworking you are. You have a beautiful place there! Kittens are magical.🤗💓😺😺✨ Cute❣️ THANK YOU very much, I wish you all the best and I greet you from the bottom of my heart. Have a nice time. ❤️🌼☘️ With love Maťa from Slovakia 🇸🇰
@@DaintyDiaries A big THANK YOU dear Catherine. I like you and your channel. I only write what I feel and you certainly deserve support. Thank you for being👋😊💕☘️🌼
A suggestion for your cat Attic. Put your suitcase up in portrait style and against the back wall. You have a see through flat box beside the orange one. Put it in top of the box behind the orange one. Push the orange o e closer to the edge. Stck your 2 Christmas boxes on top of each other. Put hooks up to hang stuff up. Pack your suitcase with items to save space.
I also live in a small house, we downsized. It was not easy, but it feels lovely when i declutter. If family stand still for long enough they have a fear that i will send them to the charity shop. So great to have a nice tidy house. Kitty's are gorgeous.😂
I see you have kitty supervisors. Me too. It’s very motivating. Every little thing I do is supervised by one (sometimes both) of my kitties. Especially sweeping! I now know where the whole ‘cats riding brooms’ thing comes from. My little Amber Rose loves riding about on the broom brush top as I sweep the floor!
Have spent the last week clearing my life...removed everything that was weighing me down ..living in a tiny house made me realise having my craft art supplies , classic wardrobe pieces, necessary usable linen kitchen items the whole place now just perfect for me..I feel liberated and organised..😊
I personally have so much organization and decluttering to do, I will be busy till next Christmas. Love your new storage area. Love your fur babies. Love you and your chatty videos. 💜Heather
You CAN skim that wall. If I could do it you can Definitely do it. And its just storage so its Perfect practice. I could see shelving in those closets. 😉
As a care worker in a residential care home thank you for the suggestion of donating craft supplies we would welcome them. Also anyone wishing to volunteer to do the crafts with the residents or even just to come and chat to them is always appreciated
In Netherlands we have a meter cupboard for all the heating pipe work etc. The heating boiler is in the attic or top floor. We also have gas central heating but no immersion. Have a hot press in my home in Ireland haha
It can be any time of year really. I have to chasten myself about giving stuff away when I’m in that declutter mood because I could easily give away something I might regret!
In Wales we have airing cupboards. Originally it would have had the hot water tank in there and some shelves. When I had a combi condensing boiler fitted there was no need for the tank, but the cupboard is still warm. Mine is full of throws and towels, I'm obsessed with buying towels from charity shops. I get them for myself and my neighbour.
When we were kids my cousin lived in a place where there was some space like that behind her room and we liked to play in there. When she was a teenager she just threw all her stuff in there when vistors were coming 😅 A fast way to clean the room 😉 Have a nice week 🐈💕🐈
In Canada we have a Utility Room generally. In it you’ll have a furnace etc. it’s kept separate from the other storage. And most homes have a Linen Closet. They’re small but usually tall, with shelves where we store our extra bedding and towels. The United States is the same.
We used to have an Airing cupboard ( Hot Press). Always warm, best place to put your school uniform in the winter, so it was warm when you got up ready for school. Gardeners start off their seeds in it in the spring.
In Texas we use a radiant barrier for attics and storage places to keep the heat out of the house, it is made of insulated material with a zipper to allow access. It makes a noticeable different in your electric bill.
Your new storage looks fantastic. Your airing cupboard is also great storage. If you used vacuum bags for your outdoor cushions it would give you even more room!! x
I also store my leftover pannelling wood, picture rails and architraves behind the sofa😂 but my sofa is longer so hides them really well. It jeeps them flat too so stops them from warping.
Love your storage area!!!! It came out beautiful. I say definitely do your 2 other areas. Especially to have your Christmas decor to be able to be taken out of your attic storage spot.😃
You're brilliant to have found that untapped space and had it finished for storage! And, how satisfying it must feel to get your office decluttered, as well as the little closet. And, of course, the kittens are too cute for words. Looking forward to Sunday's video!
You are going to love your new cat attic, there is so much room you'll be able to unload your overhead attic too. This is the kind of project that sends me rushing to Amazon for storage ideas....You are utilizing your unused space, making your home perform better.
Great new storage area, jealous! Just a thought on hot press door, why not add a lower set of hooks for niece & nephews coats & your shirt coats. Just a thought. Cheers, Paula in Boise, Idaho, USA.
Making space, this is what I do when seasons change. Well done, you!!! You have created an extra space that will help you organise your house much better. Hugs from northern Spain. Take care
Our loft door is similar to yours, the previous owners made a loft conversation, so we have a big bedroom upstairs and the loft is accessible through a single door, great as it means no ladders to get into the loft,
What a great space you have created for storage. You and the kitties are going to love it! Also, we are the same height ! I have shrunk in my 59 years from 5'2! My grandfathers were wee too! Cheeky thumbs up dear!
These are the videos U want to watch with this raining and cool weather, get U motivated to declutter and clean to make so space❤, (me to bring in new stuff😊 L0L!). Those kittens have grown so much every week....all I can say is well done, Catherine 😊 they're beautiful, healthy, and happy with You👍👍😺
I love your little storage attic or cat attic. I have an attic the whole length of my house. The problem with that is everyone in the family wants to use the space for their clutter things. My attic is full of things that no one will ever used again. Maybe in the spring I will say enough is enough. OUT with it all. You have inspired me girl to clean out my attic. Your little kittens are adorable. I love watching them play around you when you are cleaning or organizing. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
🙋♀️❤ You really should bring the stove over to your niece. That whole wall could be storage shelves. The kittens are so cute! They love you and each other so much!😊
You are just joy Catherine! I love your content! I feel I am always decluttering but this could be because i hold onto things for way too long so of course I have a collection. I have been offloading alot to my local charity store and am sooo glad. Oranges look amazing 🍊
Seeing your dear kitties in the new storage space reminded me of one of our cats who loved getting into a similar cupboard (house with dormer windows). She would find a hole, get into the dry wall, go to other end of house through to the garage and fall through the thin ceiling! She was ok, cats are resilient. Cheers from New Zealand😺
Your contractor was a real champ working in such a tiny, very tight space. Well done Sir! Well done !!!! 🍂🍁🍃Happy Fall🦃🍃🍁🍂
He did a great job! 😍
Using every nook & cranny to maximize storage space is so important in small houses.
Absolutely 😍 it makes all the difference 😍
What an excellent job the contractor did inside the storage area! And, your storage doors are fabulous, too! The declutters were very satisfying.❤ B&B are the cutest little kittens!
Thank you 🙏🏼 the two guys were so tall as well, they really struggled physically with this one, so I’m so grateful
“But it’s organized in my head” Girl, that’s what matters! 😂 Oh, and rafters is the word you’re looking for!
That’s the only way 🤣🤣
A cold and gloomy day is the perfect time to go through everything It’s my time to deep clean and declutter.
Yes! Perfect days for decluttering 🙏🏼
Try to use your SAD lamp only in the morning. Any later and it might keep you awake at night. ❤- Frances
If you have a product called walls-to-paint, you wouldn’t need to skim with plaster. It’s our favorite wall-covering.
Your house looks so cosy with the fire, bet your adorable KITTENS will love sleeping near it. Great job done for you in that space .
They adore the fire 🔥 so good ☺️

Enjoyed. I could watch the kittens all day.
I am a minimalist, and decluttering is still something I have to do occasionally. Stuff just reproduces itself or something. It's one of life's mysteries!

Thanks Jo! You too, can you believe it’s november already, where are the months going to
I love the extra storage space! I agree. There is no worse feeling than your sock falling down! In your boots is the worst! 🧦 💗
Trusses are the name of the wooden slopey bits 😂
Immediately I thought of the lion, the witch and the wardrobe!!
Make yourself some moving trollies for the storage space. It's just a wooden frame with swivel wheels in the corners. Will make getting things out and moving around easier.
That’s a good idea 😍
Yes decluttering helps clean the heart and soul as well
Clear house clear mind 🤣

Great storage solution but nothing can compete with the kitties!
Put large hooks in the top of your new storage and slide the trim in them to keep them out of the way but easily accessible.
Love seeing the beautiful kitten so cute. The cat attic will be great for exploring for them. Kittens do love a box 🐾🐾
They certainly do 😆🎁📦📦📦
The sloping bit in your roof is called the eaves 😊 It is going to give you some great storage space. 👍
Your oranges are FABULOUS! I find the whole colour theory absolutely fascinating! Art class is such a great way to stretch your thinking.
At 53, I've been a Potterhead for some years, the films are great (with a series planned), but I really recommend the books, they are extremely funny and have loads that were not included in the films, such as Peeves the Poltergeist. I own lots of Replicas, and it's getting to be a headache displaying it. Creating Extra storage would be a bonus, but I live in a Maisonette so it's just not possible.
Oh and where I live, in Malta we have two Water Heaters, a small one in the kitchen over the sink and a larger one in the bathroom to heat the water there.

A window seat would provide you a place to sit and look out the window but also provide storage as well in the bottom part of the bench.
And she could still put doors on the face of the walls to create storage space behind those walls.
They are so much healthier. I notice a big difference in their fur - so thick and shiny!
Getting big and strong 🥹

Yes in Wales it's an airing cupboard,I like the term not press sounds better some how ,love watching your beautiful kittens
When I see a cluttered decor all I can think of is all that dusting and cleaning. Much simpler to whizz around and clean more spacious areas.
This will be the place to be for the kitten, surely.🐈🐈😀🙋♀️👍
I love ❤️ your cottage! It’s beautiful 😍! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️

I love you ❤ you have the best personality ever,. Those kittens are just darling and will bring you so much joy !
You are so kind x
I love your house so much! I wish I had your drive for organization and decluttering but I am not there yet.
Love to see a roaring fire your house always looks so cosy
This time of year is peak cosy vibes and the fire is a must 😍 thanks for stopping by ♥️

Lovely to meet you! Merry meet, merry greet, merry meet again! I am seeing you from Malakwa BC Canada. ❤
Maybe you can drill holes and run a scope in the two walls for a first look see. Built-ins would be awesome if there's space.
You did a great job love your oranges 🍊 .❤❤
Loooove your pink sofa
I see you had a lot of help putting things away.
