Hi friends! come organize my closet with me! I've been needing to do this for literal years, but the bedroom closet has always been a bit intimidating -- and often stumped me with what I should do. Finally, I think, I've found the solution. Storage that is both pretty AND practical. What do you think?
Don't forget to let me know in the comments if you'd like me to start channel memberships and do some tea-and-chat videos over magazines! Keep in mind, they'll come slowly at first until I get used to making them, especially with everything else going on. xo
I hope you are all having a lovely April!

Hi friends! Realized JUST now that I completely forgot an entire section of shopping-for-storage-solutions, so in case anyone is curious, I got these boxes at HomeGoods!
Welcome to how my brain has been lately. HA!
How much were the boxes each? The boxes are so pretty!
Looks so much prettier 🌸
Love your brain!
I really appreciate a content creator that is so honest about how their brain works and how they problem-solve with minute things. I think the prettier the box, the better!!!!
I totally agree! Content creator who do videos like this made me so much more comfortable and undeestanding towards myself and how my brain works! This was of handling things is so much better than trying to be someone I am not!
Thank you so much! This means a lot to me to hear!
Thank you for saying so, and I'm SO glad it also helps you to be more understanding toward yourself!
What a transformation! I think your new system is going to work beautifully for you. Years ago I realized that, like you, I had difficulty putting things away because of the inconvenience or lack of storage. My piles were never-ending and the visual clutter was so stressful. I bought pretty and functional storage and am still using it more than a decade later. I also use the containers as a way to maintain the amount of things I can manage. If things are spilling out of the containers, it's time for me to declutter. If you walked in to my place now, you would assume that I was "born neat" because everything is in its place. Nope! I learned how do it. Little by little we can figure out what works best for us. Thanks for the inspiration 🌸
Beautiful job!
Don't minimize all the effort that you went to! You say "my little video" but that was a Herculean effort!
And it was entertaining as well. You managed a great project because of and despite being neurodivergent.
You are truly unique, and you don't have to take the back seat to anybody! I think you managed to do a better job than most people would have!
If it had been a school project, I would have given you an A-Plus!
While I was watching, I couldn't help but think, "is she going to able to clear off the bed in time to go to sleep?
You are so beautiful, both inside and out!
Thank you Mary, you are so sweet!
“ ‘Never prevent people from trying to help you’ “ -- I am SO glad that you shared this quote 😭 I am not good about accepting help. But after just having my 5th baby a month ago, in the midst of homeschooling my ADHD sons, and be a full-time mother/homemaker, AND manage a household, I am starting to burn out.
Your videos are like a lifeline, Kristina! Your candor about your home, “hot spot clutter areas”, your adhd struggles with overstimulating clutter, and showing up real-life with no makeup or in your grubby clothes (because sickness) is just SO REFRESHING. I feel so much what you go through and I am amazed how you are able to get a project like this done and do it BEAUTIFULLY!!
It also was really helpful to hear the “cost” side of the project… I feel like not many content creators acknowledge the price tag for decluttering and the amount that organization can cost with a new system…. As someone in the lower side of income, hearing your process for budgeting and planning this overhaul was really comforting. I know that sounds silly but it was so reassuring. That I could do it responsibly too without breaking the bank.
I struggle with the “out of sight out of mind” too but I hate have all these areas of my home stuffed with the items “ out of sight” so that it is not visually overwhelming!
Lastly, I’d love a “Tea and Chat magazines” member area ❤ I am a SAHM but I do pay $1 to another YT channel and $1 to a Patreon music account. I know it’s not much but I try to support my favorite content creators ❤
Christina, I just saw your comment and I wanted to thank you for sharing all of this. It helps me feel so much less alone.
I hope you find time for yourself, JUST you, so that you can refill your cup so to speak. Motherhood burnout is one of the hardest things to deal with.
Sending you all my love, and hoping you feel how important and loved you are. ❤️
Love this video! My grandmother always said "The things you use every day should be the prettiest things you own" and i couldn't agree with her more. Glad to find others who feel the same!
I saw a creator on IG make wreath out of vintage hankies. Maybe you could make a wreath for your door with the collars.
Absolutely beautiful results! It amazes me how much you accomplish while mothering 5 beautiful children, making a home, and dealing with your neurodivergence and add. You are an amazing woman! I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and play them a lot while I clean or do a project. Thanks for all the time and effort that you put into these videos. It's like a visit from a friend when I watch! Blessings.
I am autistic and have ADHD, and your videos not only motivate me but also inspire me. Your channel is amazing. You and your content has seriously helped me with daily tasks that I struggle with so much. ❤️
I have autism and ADHD as well
Your videos are so comforting and cozying to watch! It feels like spending time with a girlfriend that’s totally honest about her hidden projects and collections. That’s a special treat and I’m so happy you’re on CZcams so we can watch when we need that comfort the most! We all need a best friend like you!
I really enjoyed this video! I'm also an ADHD neurodivergent. With a dash of OCD. So, I deeply appreciate the organization! I get easily overwhelmed by clutter. It can take me weeks, or even a few months, of not being able to deal with any accumulated clutter before I get to a place where I can tackle the big projects. I like your boxing idea! And the labels! I think your bedroom is cozy, welcoming, and adorable! Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for saying so. I also take a LONG time to get to certain projects that are especially overwhelming. You are not alone!
I don't normally comment, I'm a shy ND girlie but if it helps a teensy bit to boost you, then I can get out of my comfort zone! Your videos have been such a comfort to me in illness, they really are like a warm hug! You work really hard on your closest organisation and I admire your work ethic as well as how you work with your ND and not against it.
As a 60+ woman who also has ADHD, this was phenomenal!!!! GREAT JOB! I so need to do this to my whole house. Because of the "out of sight, out of mind" problem, my closets are almost empty, but the house itself looks like a hoarder house. It's horrible. Whenever I see someone overcome this, it just warms my old heart. 💖💖💖
Hubby and I are both neurodivergent - one of the tricks we have used is Ikea Kallax units and boxes which are clearly labelled with what’s in them. That cuts down on visual clutter but stops hubby’s ADHD “out of sight out of mind thing”. Now he knows exactly where things are without having to see EVERYTHING! The fight goes on 🥰😘
You describe my life with my adorable ADHD hubby! The Kallax helps.
Does this work well
In a garage as my home is more vintage in the home?
Cats will move anything to get to softness lol😂
I love how your closet looks with all the pretty storage boxes. I agree that the boxes are worth the money for the time and stress that is saved by having it all organized and labeled.
I can so relate. I can spend an entire day cleaning and organizing a closet or drawer....then be in a hurry and it then looks like a cyclone has been in my room. Love your boxes. Love me a hat, and like you i really wear them. You go girl!
RIGHT? I think having specific spots for everything is definitely what my brain needs! Thank you!
I understand the struggles that come with AD/HD. My son has struggled with it since birth. One of his biggest struggles is with change. Just simple changes like a closet reorganization will drive him crazy. Your video was great!❤❤
Thank you! I totally forgot to say I got these at HomeGoods. xo
You are adorable 💕 You are such an inspiration! How you do the children,the house,the decorating is beyond me and you’re writing a book!!! Just WOW 🎉 You make everything come together and look beautiful🌹
I've converted to form and function! I'm sick of things being not pretty and then avoiding using them. So I'm team buy pretty ! 😂💕
I love your strawberry dress it looks amazing on you
As a fellow Adhder I thought piling WAS "organizing"😂
looool the doom boxes (Didn't Organize, Only Moved) are rampant in my house so listen...
This video was everything:) I also love that you are self publishing! That closet looks absolutely amazing
Thank you so much!! I queried the novel for two years, and got some GREAT advice, but I'm going to be honest, I just don't want to spend more time querying this one. I'll move on to other novels, lol.
I love how real and relatable your videos are! 🥰Thank you so much for sharing with us, you are always an inspiration.💕🌷
Thank you! That is so sweet of you to say!
Seus videos sao incriveis, sao leves, simples e autenticos e por isso sao incriveis. Voce é cativante, mesmo quando esta doente, continue com o otimo trabalho e com o seu amadurecimento como pessoa, pois voce nos inspira e anima, acredite voce faz a diferença.
I've recently moved into my grandmother's house , with all of her things, and been completely overwhelmed. Thank you for helping me get the dishes washed at least!
I’ll watch you declutter anything clothing related. I pile of clothes also..my bedroom is a mess. It’s all clean but I live in a 40s bungalow w not much space, let alone bedroom closet room. I feel comfortable watching your stuff..like I’m one of the gal pals, not being preached at or judged by some 20 year old influencer or something. And Happy Birthday 🎉 it’s mine tomorrow :)
I really like how you made it clear that this might not be cheap and you planned ahead for the expense. It's quite nice to approach a project like that. I typically try to just use whatever I have around the house and resort to the nth degree. I may adopt a budgeting mindset and plan ahead for possible expenses before trying to tackle cluttered spaces.
Pretty boxes and what an accomplishment. Very inspiring!
Thank you so much!
I love the boxes. I don’t suffer from ADHD, but I do understand the out of sight out of mind thing. I love getting inspiration from various organizational ideas, and love the idea of pretty boxes. I might have to think how I can incorporate them into my own house.
Love the tea and chat video idea for memberships.
me too! I love when she does those types of videos!
You are my hero! I would have pulled everything out of the closet... and then struggled with finishing the project!. You had a plan, you executed it and its lovely! Well done!!!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!😢 so happy that you are getting what you need💜
The result was really beautiful. Your closet is now a place nice to look at whereas the before made me sweating And I LOVE the way you display your hats.
I'm totally interested to see you declutter your tops 😊
That is so amazing of your viewers. You deserve the best. I'm so glad people are so generous and are able to help you. I wish i could because i would. I feel like alot of what you go through and how you think is exactly how I am as well. You have encouraged and inspired me sooooo much since I started to watch you. Your amazing! I look forward to all your videos. I hope you continue to get blessings and my prayers will go out to you. ❤
Wow, that doesn’t even look like the same closet🎉🎉 beautiful job! Actually, when I first got married, I had two sets of my grandmothers and my aunts waterfall furniture complete with the dresser, the wardrobe, the mirror, the vanity, the mirror, and the bench, through years of moving and divorce, they are gone. I never realize how precious those were to me, I now have my mother and father spare bedroom mahogany furniture, and I am 73 so I’ve had it since I was in my 30s❤
This was fun!
Yay I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I l ike honey in my tea and that little stirer is perfect. I need a mug like that. I'll keep my eyes open for one.
I found it at HomeGoods! Good luck!
Thank you so much for all of these wonderful videos. I really appreciate them, as they inspire me to organize my things much better, which, to be honest, I just find overwhelming at times. Also, you have such beautiful clothes, hats, scarves, etc.......I think you have such great taste. 🥰🥰🥰
You did a fantastic job!! I love your vintage beauty and magazine collection. I collect vintage cookbooks and LOVE leafing through them.
I love your videos and how your so accepting of things that are transpiring in your life it’s truly helped me to shift my own perspective and live a more freeing lifestyle I look forward to more of the behind the scenes vintage lifestyle content
Kristina it just looks beautiful. Everything well it just made me feel calmer watching this. It just reflects your personality so well, pretty but functional 🎉🎉
Love your cleaning and organization videos and how transparent you are with how your brain works. I have a similar brain and I think I need similar solutions so thanks for talking it out for me!
I bought a set of Broolinen sheets based on one of your videos. I love them! One day I’ll buy another set. In the meantime they get washed and put back on the bed.
It turned out great! The boxes are so pretty! I love flower patterns
❤️❤️❤️Ohhh so pretty!! I LOVE your closet!! And I am not diagnosed ND, am 56 so 🤔🤔🤷🏼♀️ but I do find I like my things to 1) have “Homes” and 2) be easily accessed. And I too struggle not to dump things. I am at the point now where if I see a pile I ask myself “Does it need a home? Is there a need for a new solution? Do I need to just put it away? So, it has taken me 10 years in this house to finally get to a point where most things have homes & I have a somewhat organized storage room which yes needs some tlc but meh… work in progress! So be gentle with yourself!! (& I have no small children, so be extra gentle! 🥰🥰) Love your style & videos! Best, Lynne
I started to do two things that really helped me with storing while not forgetting:
(1) Using my jewelry as decoration so it has a place and I see it and can just throw it on.
(2) Getting those lose fake plants and flowers, getting a plastix box. Glueing the fakes on the inside on one of the long and one of the short sites. This way they don't collect dust and whatever I store in the box can still be seen if I wanna see it but it can also be put away and look cute! I use it for things that I don't need often but still need to know that I have them.
Thanks, I love your videos. You are so relatable for me, and it comforts me to see your authenticity. Thanks for having the courage to share, and make these videos. ❤
I love your videos for being so real and so endearing. Also that pink dress is so sweet on you!
Love everything about this! Well done darling 💗
I would absolutely pay to jpin a flip through, vintage magazines/catalogues are some of my favourite things, great idea xxx
Turned out beautifully!I'm so inspired by this video. I am like u, I get so overwhelmed by the clutter I just shut the door on it rather than tackle it. I never thought about the boxes, think I need to try this myself. BTW, I love the brown floral dress, it's so flattering.
Thank u for being so real! I know this is going to help all of us neurodi-adhd-clutter bugs😊❤❤❤❤
I just wanted to tell you that YOU are an amazing inspiration....thank you for sharing your time and talents...All the best....
I've been distracted by that super cute dress you're wearing!
I really like your music choices! Right in period, pitch perfect.
Oh thank you! Choosing music is one of my favorite parts ❤️
It looks so pretty and neat now! You did so well ❤ you've really inspired me to make more of the storage space I have available in my closet now!
👑💕What a spectacular job, well done 🌸
Thank you! 😊
Loved this video and you’re openness about the process and you struggles. Very affirming for me. Thanks.
I would enjoy a tea and chat looking through vintage magazines and beauty books.
I think turning unused surfaces into a piling place is common, both my husband and I are guilty of it.
The closest looks great! It's so nice to have organization that works for you. I'm a big believer in organization is worthless if it didn't work for the people actually using it.
Thanks for internet hugs and keeping me virtual company while I finished my unliked but necessary for this project hand sewing.
YES PLEASE do vintage catalog content! I would absolutely pay a little extra for that. The inspo from those is so worth it!
This looks AMAZING! 😱 Come do my closet next? 🤣
Wow,you did an amazing job! Everything looks so lovely.
I recently found your channel, and I love all your content. You are adorable and so relatable! ♡
My goodness I am in a very similar position with my brain and pile overwhelm. I am rooting for you!
Nice job and good thinking to label your pretty boxes.
I really appreciate ypur vulnerability!
Beautiful job, looks fantastic!! ❤❤
So cute ! I love your honesty about the struggle to keep it up... I have ADHD too and I can't imagine having non clear boxes and having to open them, for me lids are the enemy😂 but I'm happy you don't mind and can enjoy the pretty boxes ❤ (ps can't really afford another subscription right now, I'd love to see the flip through magazine videos if you ever want to do it on your main channel too, but i understand the need for exclusive paid content too no worries...)
So happy you posted! 💓
Absolutely beautiful ❤ I really enjoy your videos . Thankyou for sharing your life with us😊😊
It looks awesome❤❤❤😊
Just love your honesty and your ability to be vulnerable and trusting with all of us. I don’t let anyone in my closet🤪I am totally embarrassed about it. I’ve moved so many times everything has been purged I think could be purged. Then my closet gets cluttered again within a year. Thank you for normalizing things for all of us like you who get overwhelmed with all our stuff 😊😂😊❤
Looks amazing! I love your use of boxes.
This looks amazing, Kristina! So amazing that I went to Home Goods today and found some pretty storage boxes. I'm going to go to another one in town to see if I can find more of the same/complimentary pattern. Time for a closet cleanout/beautification! Thank you for the inspiration! ~~another (much older) Kristina ☺️
It looks so beautiful ❤
This turned out lovely
Well done!!
Love the boxes
So beautiful!
I love those boxes.
What a great closet makeover! Love the boxes. 💗

I love how you organized. You inspire me !!
The closet looks amazing xx
Beautiful! ❤
Kristina! I just adore you!! Your honesty and ability to just be a real person is so wonderful!! Thank you for all you do! Thank you for being you!! And thank you for helping me be able to accept that I’m not perfect and that is perfectly ok!! Your videos always bring joy to my life!! THANK YOU! ❤❤❤❤
I’m always stoked when I see a new video from you! Thanks for sharing! I love seeing your space.
I love your videos! And I love the strawberry dress you wear in this one so pretty!
Great idea for the makeup space at the dresser!!🎉
Looks great! Well worth your time 🎉❤
You are delightful!
Hi, I’m 68 years old and a total 7up baby says nobody ever! lol! That ad was hysterical! 😳 let’s feed the baby soda!
I so relate to having pretty and functional storage, Kristina! It helps me stay on top of the clutter piles for sure! I use vintage hanging garden wire planter baskets in my closet for my scarves! Works great and so cute and affordable! Yes to a dresser clean out video! Your organization vids are awesome!
That ad made me laugh SO much!
Oh that’s such a good idea with the wire planters!
Now I'm thinking of my closet ..... yours looks beautiful!
You are such a lovely person putting goodness and kindness out into the world. Your bedroom looks gorgeous at the end.
