Decluttering/organizing a kitchen using tips from Dana K. White and Marie Kondo

- We are decluttering and organizing one of my favorite rooms...THE KITCHEN! I talk about some of the things I have learned both from Marie Kondo (The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) and Dana K. White (A Slob Comes Clean) when it comes to decluttering and organizing. They both have different approaches to clutter and I think there is value in each approach. Whose methods do you prefer? Dana, Marie, or someone else?

The last time I commented I suggested you stop apologizing so much and OH MY GOSH, woman! You have done a 180! I'm so impressed. When you set your mind to something, you DO it. Thank you for sharing that gift with the world.
Well, I think I did once at the very end, but it was more of a joke. 😁Yes, I'm getting better. I still have to remind myself I'm not going to please everyone, but that's okay. That just weeds out those who aren't "my people." Thanks for your support. 😊💜🙏
I’ve been watching minimalist mom and her ideas are SO SO helpful. A mess is a signal of too much inventory, it really should only take a few minutes TOPS to put away and clean an area. I’ve been trying to get rid of 25 items a day till i can keep everything clean in a matter of minutes
These full cupboards gave me a bit of anxiety! I go through my kitchen about 3-4 times a year, reorganizing and purging and after this last round I think I have it pared down to only what I use! It’s such a good feeling! Great job Bonnie!
I have cloth napkins i will never use so i decided to start putting them inside my stackable lasagna type pans and glass/ceramic bowls to keep them from chipping. Works great!!!! ❤
Round of Applause! Take a Bow❣️That canning drawer was inspirational.
That Lazy Susan in the corner of the pantry is a great idea!
4:00 An idea for people who struggle to get rid of plastic tubs: check to see if your local schools want them. These are usually used for art projects.
I am also a Marie Kondo / Dana K White user. I am not sentimental and don’t have big issue getting rid of things so “spark joy” does work for me. But for daily hot spot disorganization and helping family members with bigger projects, Dana’s methods are amazing!
Thanks for sharing your experience using their methods.🫶
A friend of mine calls ‘awkward pauses’ habit stacking. It’s the only way I can get my kitchen clean- I do stuff when I’m waiting for other things to happen like the washing to be done or the kettle to boil. Can recommend! Especially if a person has executive dysfunction.
Love your work Bonnie.
I've been teaching my daughter to do this, but I call it a turbo-tidy. It's amazing how much you can get done just waiting for water to come to boil!
I was astounded when I realized that in the time it takes me to warm up a glass of milk (2 minutes on my electric stove) I can empty the whole dishwasher and put away those clean dishes!
Also, I tend to clean up whatever I can from the kitchen counter while something is simmering for half an hour.
I love awkward pauses and commercials for this exact reason. Built in breaks to do random things 😆 It’s how my house stays clean. Let the inner squirrel clean if it’s bored.
So, an audio syncing thing (if you don't already do it) is to clap your hands once when you start rolling the camera, and that makes it easier to sync the audio! It's one of the uses of the clapperboard in movie productions. Hope this helps
No way! Why have I never thought about doing that? And I didn't know that was one of the reasons for The Clapper board. Love learning these new things. Thank you so much!💜❤️
What an amazing transformation!
Any cupboard or drawer in my kitchen is what I call “prime real estate”
Only things I use every day or often can go there.
Anything else, like the canning items, have to go in a pantry, garage, basement
Definitely Dana K. White. You mentioned that Moira was overwhelmed. Pulling out all of the cupboards at one time was very messy and too overwhelming for Moira (also for me to watch). I had tried the Marie Kondo method. It can take days to go through all of the same type items to declutter and put away. One is living with mess and disorder. "I" do not do well with piles of clutter (disorder) as in the Kondo decluttering method.
There is no overwhelm disorder in Dana K. White's decluttering method.You are able to stop at anytime with leaving no mess. Recently I decluttered and reorganized a kitchen drawer. It only took me under ten minutes to do this. DKW's method was very efficient, orderly, and with no mess. I did this before going to work in the morning. I knew that I had only about fifteen minutes before I needed to leave for work; so the task was completed with ease and no mess. I 've also used the same method for my food pantry. I cleared /cleared/reorganized one shelf at a time. I'm using her decluttering method throughout my home. I think that we all are finding out what methods individually work best for us.
p.s. I do use Marie Kondo's method for folding clothes in my drawers.
I think DKWs methods work best for the majority of people. I do like Marie Kondo's method if there is a time limit to it and it doesn't drag on for weeks or months with the disorder. I actually forgot to mention in the video that Mariah at one point said that she could see why the Marie Kondo method is necessary in some places, especially when things have gotten stored in random places, so by pulling everything out, you can see all that you have and declutter it all at once. I suppose that still would work with Dana's methods, but you would end up finding some of those items later in the decluttering process and have to decide if there is space for those items and either do the one in one out rule or get rid of the item. Since I knew that we had two days to do this and there was going to be an end to it, I thought Marie Kondo's methods would work best for this situation, but moving forward, I think she should use Dana's methods when she is decluttering on her own.😊❤️
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Thank you for answering back. I do feel that our decluttering/organizing/cleaning methods do change as we need to meet the current needs of the day. Thank you for your support of this dear one. ♥
Mira is certainly brave to show her cleaning journey and so lucky she was able to get help.
Awwww... we love to be your Beautiful Messers! Your special BMs! Wait, no. Do not abbreviate.
🤣🤣
Haha... that goes along perfectly with the last comment you left for me about having my colonoscopy. I definitely had a few BMs in preparation for that.😂😂 I always love your comments!
I do like being a Beautiful Messer, though! I'm all too aware most of the time that I'm a mess, and make a mess. It's nice to have "beautiful" prepended on occasion. 😊
Love everything you're about, Bonnie!
Omg my mum had one of those green tupperwear grating bowl things when I was a kid in the 70's/80's that brings back memories. I don't like storing plastic food containers with the lids on because I like them to air. I've found that if I leave the lids on they can get old food smells trapped. I do the same with drinks bottles. Thank you for another gooden 😁
Love the lids all standing up in the drawer. I call the corner turny thing a Lazy Susan. Same name as the turny thing you made.
This video was so much fun to watch, lots of organization and good scrubbing. Turntables are the best 👍
Love Dana so much I became one of her declutter coaches.❤
I remember you mentioning that when I was doing the live with Mira! I can see why you love her. I tried Clutterbug and her personality just didn't jive with me, but I can totally get on board with Dana because she's so down to earth and real. Like I could imagine us being friends in real life.😊❤️
I love Dana, but I LOVE Cas (from Clutterbug), they're both amazing. I also love The Minimal Mom (Dawn), and the three of them have a course with an amazing FB group, they teach so well together!
I empty the dishwasher while I’m waiting for my oatmeal to cook. Makes me feel very accomplished
Isn't it crazy how much you can get done in just a couple of minutes?🫶
I use my empty honey bear bottle for my dish soap...it's so cute!
I love it! What a fun idea!
Awesome job organizing! ☺️ My Grandma kept plastic utensils from my parents Wedding, which was September 1970! She them until she sold her trailer, around 2009. She just washed them over and over and over…….. 😅 Looking forward to your next video!! 😊☺️
Oh wow!😊👏
The canning drawer was awesome! Great work super cleaner!
Thanks 👍
Great job! Sometimes I think we don’t realize how much can accumulate in our cupboards, out of sight, out of mind. I go through mine every three months and throw away or donate, it’s helped so much. I’m only 4’10”, can’t reach the top shelf of my cupboards even with a stool so anything on those shelves went as they never get used anyways. We tend to save things that we only use during the holidays so I put those few things on a shelf in my basement. I keep one large and one small crockpot…the rest donated as they take up so much space. You both did an amazing job❤
It's awesome you have your kitchen set up for your cute petite self. 😁💕👏
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp sheer necessity my friend 😂. I’m disabled so can only use a two step handicap stool with rails. If I can’t reach it, out it goes 😂. At 65, tired of fighting it and probably the only one with empty top shelf cupboards 😂
@@debby891I'm 5'6" and the top shelves aren't very accessible for me either.
My Aunt is 4'6 and uses the dishwasher to store all the dishes. The dw was put in about 12 yrs. ago and she has no idea if it works.
@@carolbabb7875 mine was brand new 14 years ago, used it twice and hated it. They take so much longer than washing by hand and make me nervous leaving them running if I have to go out. I’m 65, never had one growing up and guessing probably the lines are dried out after so many years of not using it. I keep cookie sheets and cutting boards in mine 😂
Oh my goodness. That’s a massive amount of clutter. So many unused items that she does not need. Great job cleaning it out.
IMPORTANT: I like the fact that Mariah uses plastic again and again instead of buying new stuff all the time, but it is not hazard-free. Over time the softener in the plastic dissolves by itself and that can cause terrible health issues! I guess it is impossible to read all the comments, but I really hope this one will reach you. Apart from that it was again a great job and a pleasing video! You are a wonderful person, Bonnie! ❤
I do read all of my comments, actually. For now, anyway.😄 Someday it might not be possible. 🤔I agree with you on this point and have heard that it can be really bad to use plastic over and over and wanted to gather a little more information regarding this to show her because I know it would devastate her to have to just discard all of that plasticware, but I think, for her own health, it might be wise to do so even if it can't be recycled. But I do admire that she is doing everything in her power to be responsible about recycling. I think she can give herself a little grace and maybe toss the plasticware. Thank you for bringing this up!❤️
I can only confirm andruschka's concerns. Plastic containers often contain phthalates, which have been proven to damage the endocrine system (causing diabetes, obesity or fertility problems) and to cause cancer. Fat from cheese or sausage can dissolve the plasticizer out of the plastic. Colorants can contain heavy metals that cause long-term damage to the nervous system. Who knows how many mental illnesses are at least exacerbated by plastic use? Retail packaging is only made for short-term use and the dose of toxins ingested is usually low. But if they are used regularly, especially for hot or fatty foods, the safe dose can be exceeded.
Instead of buying coffee to go, it would be better to sit down for a coffee in a cafe or diner. Less hectic, more deceleration is also good for the mind.
It sounds like we need to both go watch a documentary on Plastics and microplastics and how they affect our health. Maybe then she will be willing to toss everything and just vow not to get any more from here on out.😊
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Plastic is not always the devil's stuff if it is used appropriately. There are containers made of food-safe plastic that are designed for food storage, like tupperware. These are labeled with a spoon and fork icon, and often labeled as microwave or freezer safe. Plastic retail packaging is not food safe. If she has concerns about the environment, she should avoid buying goods in such packaging if possible. I prefer goods in cardboard packaging, tin cans or glass. They are either easy to recycle or easy to clean.
It's hard to keep a house tidy and clean when there's so much stuff around. I have a single cupboard compartment reserved for empty canning jars. When it's full, I have to throw something away. I've thrown away all the disposable plates and cutlery because I'll never have any use for them. I've gotten out of the habit of hoarding things just in case. If I actually need something like that, I buy it new and don't use worn and dirty things. I'm unemployed, but not that poor.
@@schnetzelschwester The endocrine system also covers Thyroid issues which looks like it might be a more common concern regarding these plastics too.
Bonnie! You've got such great visions for better ways to declutter and organize spaces. The lazy susan cleaning and products you used were very impressive. You're really coming into your own with this channel! Congrats, girl! ❤
Aw, thank you so much! ❤️
I wish Bonnie was my friend and would visit me.
I think Bonnie is all our friend lol.
😅🫶
The big round thingy in the corner cubbard is also callef a lazy susan
I had to declutter my kitchen when I had it replaced. Glad I got rid of nearly 75% of what I had. I haven't missed any of it in the 3 years since it went 😂
So true. We learn to adjust to the things that we have. If we have to wash something to be able to use it again, so be it.😊
I love Dana K White. Her methods make more sense for me personally. Great job!
What a difference organizing can make! You definitely have a gift for it ❤
Thank you so much!
This kitchen has great storage. The cabinets are really nice!!
I'm proud of both of you. You did a good job with that kitchen cleaning and organizing. It was overwhelming before, not anymore. ☺️✨👌🏻
Thank you so much!
There are lots of alternatives to plastic in the kitchen. Glass storage containers, stainless steel containers and bowls. Pyrex makes loads of things instead of plastic. eBay or thrift stores are awesome places to find stuff cheap. Corning makes tons of items for cooking and storage. It’s out there. I have not purchased a plastic storage container in 17 years.
If you have the space, I agree the Tupperware should have the lids on. Like you said it makes it so much easier and you know if it doesn’t have a matching lid then you can get rid of it.
Wow!!!! Good job lining up the cleaning sounds with the right space video
On the lazy Susan cabinet! Dana K White is my favorite!!! When she says easy stuff I think she means stuff that goes in another room. It’s the second step after trash I think. This is such a satisfying video. ❤
I still nest my Tupperware, but it is at least in same shape stacks, circles, rectangles, squares. I do store the lids in vertical rows, by size, in a deep drawer. Not a lot of cabinet space and I do go through things two or three times a year. I’m 5’8” so I Do use the upper shelves of cabinets, however, with age and arthritis, I moved the crock-pot, broiler pans, big stock pots etc to the bottom shelves and put things like paper bags, trash bags, and other light items that won’t give me a concussion or broken foot if it slips out of my hands!🤣
I did the same. I put the items on the upper shelves in cardboard boxes from my husband's amazon-addiction that I have covered with nice wrapping paper. I attached small loops of ribbon to the bottom of the front. This allows me to hold the box by the loop when pulling it out. Then I can take out or put in the stored items whithout getting an avalanche of stuff on my head. To put the box back I just push it on the shelf, no need to climb a ladder.
I like using the dish pans for organizing also. I used to have a front loader washer and dryer with pedestals .I switched to an older top loader set because my other washer broke and I hated the front loader. I lost the massive storage space of the pedestals. I bought 2 slim cabinets to fit the available space .I put one in front of the other turning the one in the rear backwards with the back left open. I aligned the shelves to the same heights .I put a dishpan in the back cabinet to hold things that I need to keep but use rarely. I have a label on the door to identify what is in the back storage.
Hi Bonnie
Wonderful Decluttering and Organization!!! Thank you for sharing.
Great job. Really enjoyed this one. Better late than never.
Beautiful job Bonnie!! I keep my take out food containers to about 3. They're good for leftovers but they can accumulate!
Three sounds perfect.👏
We are all guilty of duplicity. Having more things than we can shake a stick at...I'm reaching a good age where I can now give it away or throw it out if it's in a bad shape or not operational.💕 I purchased a few of those lint clothes and LOVE cleaning with them! So much better than sponges that fall apart and leave bits of tiny pieces behind! THANK YOU for linking them. I bought three of them for $0.50 at Walmart that they had on sale during Christmas.
Thanks for sharing!!
My idea is if you get something, you give/donate something. Only keep seasonal stuff, if not used in last 3 months, lose it. Plastic is kept to a minimum for giving away food. Of course my bottles are neat and tidy in boxes and the lids are kept together along side them. My junk drawer had become overwhelming for a while, but today it’s almost empty. Like stuff belongs together. I use mostly baking spices and keep my measuring cups and spoons in the drawer with my cutlery, right on hand.
I was so inspired by your organizing I did two drawers and took everything out of two cabinets then came back to watch the end of your video. I had to ask the hubs to take down the stuff in the top shelves because my knees are still recovering and I am in a walker. Of course he wants to keep every jar because ‘when we garden next year we will can’. Well crud his idea of ‘we’ is only harvesting. I do the planting, fertilizing, watering and weeding. I’m not taking on canning. He thinks you just put it in the jars and won’t listen when I try to tell him the process. My parents used to can. He’ll give everyone botulism, I’m putting all those jars in the recycling.😃
Anyway thank you for this video, love your organizing.🙂
This made me laugh. "He'll give everyone botulism." 😂😂
Ahh....Wow Bonnie, what a grand difference! That canning drawer was awesome! All those cupboards & the top shelf of the pantry with your lazysusan are amazing! Love it all!. Thanks for sharing! Have a great week! ♥️☺️🫂🐾🍄🦉🧵🪡🧶🖌🎨🖼✨️
I’m new to your channel. Your channel was recommended to me by Midwest Magic cleaning! I love the way you put a little bit of a picture insert for the various cleaning products that you use! Very helpful!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Bonnie! What a great video and such an amazing transformation! God bless you and always in my prayers! ~John
Thank you so much!
You did a great job. I myself just started Decluttering. Its nice to see what really gets done and how much easier to keep clean. God Bless you Bonnie!
Yes! Thank you!🙏💜
Wow, that's a ton of Canning Supplies.
She had so many uni-taskers.
Thanks for showing the little pics of the cleaning products you use. I know it takes you extra time to do that, but I appreciate it. I also wanted to mention that part of being friendlier to the environment is REDUCING. Reduce what we buy and what we have. I've mentioned before, Americans have too much stuff. Less is more to a clearer life view.
Very true. And Amazon doesn't help. It's way too easy to buy stuff! But, I absolutely believe less is more. The less you have, the more freedom it gives you. 😊👍
I agree. All that plastic has already been manufactured and purchased. Letting it sit in your cabinet unused isnt taking it away from the environment. Dispose of it and vow to not buy more in the future. Reduce being a consumer. 😊
Love the strawberry bowl. I had the same set to go with my kitchen decor! The hot air popcorn popper is an antique too! 😉 Nice job Bonnie.
I saw those too. My mom had the popcorn popper as well as some of the same Tupperware and containers in this home.
We had the same popper as well!!! I was thinking, I want to switch mine for that lol. Such nostalgia.
@@lauralaforge558 when I saw the butter tray laying on that shelf, I knew there had to be a popper near by! 😆😉
@@lauralaforge558that popper was a huge part of my childhood 😊!
Yes, I actually had the same popper growing up as well. It was pretty nostalgic to come across that!😁👍
It’s so funny to see the same brands and types of kitchen items that my mother had in someone else’s home. Love the end results.
I also reuse the plasticware. I use it for putting inside our car when the restaurants don't give us plasticware, I have it. I have some for picnics as well as for using for garden markers and garden critters. I also keep some on hand for trips as well if we travel.
I put ours into plastic zippered bags though. If our kids come over for food, I always send some plasticware with the food.
That's a great idea!
You did an amazing job! It will be so much easier for her to use the kitchen now! ❤
I think decluttering Dana's way is useful for doing things on your own as you dont make a big mess and get overwhelmed and feel like you made your house worse and run out of energy before you finish! But if you have help then its not so bad to pull things out and see it all before it goes back in, that can sometimes be a bit quicker for a big declutter blitz!
I love Dana's way of giving things a home by asking where you'd look for it first if you needed it! Then when you go looking you actually find things! 😊
That was my exact thought process. I knew we had two days to get this done and that there would be an end to it, so I thought Marie Kondo's method would work best in this situation, but going forward, I totally agree she should just use Dana's methods so she doesn't get too overwhelmed.
@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp that definitely makes sense. I think you guys achieved tonnes for 2 days! And it will probably help her make more progress afterwards having got the bulk of it done together!
it is a cabinet Lazy Susan. I grew up with 2 of them on either side of my Mom's kitchen cabinet. They were great but it was before so much safety stuff and you had to watch out from smashing your finders.
Great job, Bonnie! This was very enjoyable to witness your organizational skills. I'm with you on keeping the lids on the Tupperware type food storage containers. Much easier that way, and a person doesn't really need mountains of the things anyway. I've been doing this for around 3 or so years, and haven't been sorry.
Right?! I like the fact that it limits the amount of leftovers that can be in your fridge and forces you to wash one to use it again so that leftovers don't just pile up in your fridge. How many do we really need?😊
Loving all the organising, so satisfying! The sink scrubbing at the end was great too! Thanks so much for all you do 👍🙂🇦🇺
Thanks so much! 😊
For my tupperware, I bought the 'Rubbermaid EZ lid' I think it is. Now I should remember because I've bought at least 3 sets but a LOT went to other people's homes, not by choice. But, I finally one day dug out everything like you did here, however, I did nest my tupperware because of the lids. It's a 36 piece tupperware set and for me, I have all lids stacked by size. I have the 'bigger' tupperware-like for baking stuff-carrying cupcakes or cakes etc. at the top of our corner cabinet. The middle shelf, it has our big and medium lids on the left side (all matching and they nest and 'click' together, no losing lids, the smaller lids to the right side of those. Then bowls are all nested together as well. I do rinse out all plates/bowls, tupperware each time we use them for any dust that might be in them.Just easier for me with *all* my tupperware on one shelf. So, I have one shelf with *all* matching tupperware, then the top shelf has tupperware of different 'big' sizes that I don't use on a daily basis but it's there for when I need it. Bottom shelf is just plates, bowls for our corner shelf. I did toss a TON of tupperware years ago though after going through what felt like hundreds of pieces. Thank goodness, someone came by and picked it all up for me. Whew.
Great video, can’t imagine having that much stuff.
Well done to ye both. The presses look great. Yes I totally understand the overwhelm of everything being out. I get discouraged and could walk away from it, which has been done too. Have a great week. Mary messer, Joes wife 👏👍💪💐🙏
Thank you, Mary Messer! 😂❤️❤️
I need to do Tupperware and that type of storage, organization again. My man putting dishes away again: open the door, shove it in. What? It all fits inside one another!?!?!? Lol
I am neurotic about my spices. They are in alphabetical order. But…… before you fill your eyes…… so easy to find when you’re cooking. Baking supplies all in their own bin. Yep, lickity split when I work in the kitchen.
Mine are alphabetized too! 🎉😂❤
Alphabetical makes sense! Love it!
I am glad you got a chance to help her with her kitchen cabinets. It also was a great reminder to me to clean out mine and donate unwanted items. So thank you for the gentle push to wipe out mine. The cabinets look really great Bonnie.
Thank you! And good for you getting yours wiped out. 👏❤️
Well done! Especially with the sound syncing! 😊
Thank you! 😄
We used to call that corner thing a whirly gig. Thanks for the video.
I love it! One other person commented that that is what they call it as well.😁💜
Wow I love that turn table I would like to see you make one.
If she perhaps learned about the harmful effects using plastic has on the body, she might more easily can decide to recycle these things right away instead of using them to the ground. I was looking to see if anyone else was going to comment how hormone disrupting plastics can be. She has a lot of good sturdy stuff as well.
My spice racks are hanging on the wall over the stove. They're in matching bottles and in alphabetical order (I'm sick, I need help lol).
I'm going to have to move in a few months and am dreading the thought of having to organize a new kitchen. As if packing up and pairing down weren't bad enough! 🤦♀️ I wish I lived near you so you could help me not lose my mind lol. "Mariah" is very lucky to have you!
That sounds like so much fun to me.😄 I love starting fresh! I'm sure that will change as I get older, but right now, I think I would love to move just to be able to pare down and get to just what I need. I've learned a lot these last few months about stuff and how much it can be a burden to have too much, so I think that sounds like a good opportunity to get rid of a bunch of things. Good luck with your move!🫶
the complete lack of organization in those 'before' cupboards, not using a bit of logic, brings out the little OCD I have! I admire your gift! :)
Hey Bonnie! Quick suggestion with the editing, you may already do this- if you clap in front of the camera before you start, it gives you an easy way to sync audio and video (just match the waveform of the clap to the frame where your hands touch).
I am LOVING your content! So satisfying, and now I'm curious about this doc too. Much love from the UK :)
I love this suggestion! Someone else mentioned this in the comments and I had no idea that was part of the reason for the Clapper boards when filming. I love learning these new little tricks. Thank you so much!❤️
Bonnie, thanks for reminding me to take care of that one crazy disorganized drawer in my kitchen. Way too much unused plastic and other stuff which need to leave the house.
As I hate the feeling of plastic cutlery in my mouth and because of micro plastic I have a set of ordinary silverware in my car for use. In Germany they started using bamboo cutlery and plates made from banana leaves even years ago. Unfortunately plastic cutlery is still available and more common.
My favorite material for storing food is glass, reusing glass jars makes me feel better. Even cleaning is so much easier, imagine tomatoe sauce or anything with garlic or any indian spices in a plastic container... 😂
The german word for lazy Susan is Drehteller which is the word by word translation of turning table.
I love working, can watch it for hours.
😂
This was such a great organization. The organizing and clean at the end were both so satisfying. Thank you for taking us through it with you, Bonnie. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I really like how you cleaned that lazy susan.
Saw a BYU cup! Go Cougs!! Haha. Found your channel because of Dana K white. Loving the before and afters. You are amazing
Yay! Thank you! 😁🙏
thanks for the scrubbing sounds
I'd throw in Mack's move out move in method. For something who has a lot of stuff it may be too overwhelming but when I did it I moved back in just the essentials that I use frequently, that fit in the container, and then items that sparked joy. It really helped me make a decision on items I waffled on.
Hi Bonnie. I loved the job you did! That was a great idea for the canning lids! Im going to change mine like that! I think it's great that you're calling us your beautiful messers, lol. Can't wait for your next video.
😊🫶
looks good❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
suggestion for lining up audio with video, they do the claps or movie clackers for a reason! if you need to do that in future, definitely remember that for yourself :D
loved the video! ♥ as well as the adding the used items in the corner
So, funny story. A couple of other people suggested this as well and so I did that with another video where I shot from two different angles and then realized that one of the cameras doesn't even pick up sound, so I couldn't sync it by sound, but it was helpful to have the clap that I could see clearly and try to sync it to that. It did make it slightly easier.😄
Hey Beautiful !!! I know it's a Lazy Susan but we call it the whirly gig 😂😂😂. What a blessing you have been to "Mariah" and family. You seem a little more relaxed this video, everyine finally well ??? Take care.
I love hearing all the different names for a Lazy Susan. Yes, I have been feeling a bit more relaxed with my voiceovers. Practice, practice, practice...😁👍
Mira is a very lovely woman. I'm glad you are able to help her. ❤❤❤
I don’t have a corner cabinet but if I did, I would just call it the corner cabinet with turn tables. 😁
😅
Awesome job! ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm glad she decided to part with so much. Another great video. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I love your work!
Thank you!
It looks so good 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Such a wonderful service and fantastic transformation. 👏
You always get me so motivated 🎉
👏😊❤️
Excellent job.
I like vertical storage concept and the idea when a cupboard is full don’t cram more stuff in it. I have only cookware I actually use.
Awesome 👍🏾 job 👏🏾
The lazy Susan in the corner cabinet is called "Küchenkarussell" (kitchen carousel)
The cabinets look so nice and will be much easier to maintain. Great job! I have a lazy susan corner cabinet too. We call it the roundy round, lol.
Thanks so much! 😊 The roundy round...LOL 😅
Mom always called our corner turner-thingie the "Twirly Cabinet"... so guess what I call ours? I agree with storing lids on the storage containers. We keep ours in the Twirly Cabinet. The problem of loose lids is that they fall off the shelves, and then get under the shelves, lost for eternity. So, If only I could train my otherhalf to put the lids on too, our twirly cabinet would be much neater, and easier to navigate!
Twirly cabinet...I love it! ❤️ Yes, good point about the lids. And about training the other half...good luck with that!!😅
Looks great. I put my storage container lids vertically in a tub, which makes them very easy to find. I've tried all the ways and that works best for me.🙂 Those white dishpans work so well for containing items, and they're so inexpensive!
Thanks! I love watching you and I’ve learned a lot about organizing & decluttering. 😊
