I adore Eunice, but whenever I see the quantity she has and how overwhelming it is, it's a great reminder the importance of how the stuff you own can end up owning you: your time, your space, your money, your sanity. We live in such a material world, it's basically counterintuitive not to buy at this point. Probably even harder for an influencer like Eunice who receives PR packages. Great job April, and thank you Eunice for once again allowing us into your home.
I like Eunice too and I'm not interesting in flames and all that, but we really need to use other people' experiences to understand what we are doing wrong... in 50 years we trashed and destroyed the world, there is no point in recycling if we dont stop producind and mostly buying... it broke my heart seeing the last episode with food to throw away... all those beautiful candies and sweets (I have a sweet tooth)...if I were there I'd have eaten everything, not cos I'm poor or I dont have to eat, just because I see the beauty of all those things and cant stand to see them go to the waste people think I'm cheap and I proudly am 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎I dont have to explain myself to others and Eunice dont have to do to us.... I dont think Eunice (or other people ) do it on purpose or with a bad heart.... for some it is impossible to see not because they are bad or not caring, but if u r not interested or not educated to see, u will never do... sorry Eunice ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a video that makes everyone see what goes into making a "professional" organizee and "Spacemaker". This kind of job takes experience and knowhow. Eunice is lucky to have a friend in you!
Eunice is a well known professional so I think her wardrobe reflects that. I'm a senior citizen who is gradually downsizing as things wear out. I think we all buy what fits our current lifestyle.
I used to be a clothes hog. When my husband passed away suddenly I moved in with my daughter and her husband..along with 3 granddaughters. I had my own room with two nice sized closets but not nearly as much space as I was used to. I went hard core…tried on every piece of clothing, if it didn’t fit or wasn’t my color anymore it went to donation box. I feel so much lighter. I’m in an apartment now with a large walk-in closet. However, it has to house my clothes, shoes, purses, linens and memorabilia. It’s great to be down to one closet only. I’m OCD about how I organize my closet…pants, t-shirts, blouses, by length of sleeve and by color. My sweaters are folded in clear containers. We have much longer spring, summer, fall and very short winter.
Organizing a closet w/that amount of clothing is hard, but I think it’s harder when it’s someone else’s stuff. You made a lot of progress for the first go round. I realized that keeping my closet straight became soooo much easier when I got rid of much of my clothing. ((It was so hard, because I was worried about needing it “someday”, but I didn’t). Now my closet isn’t overwhelming and the door closes without using body weight against it.😄
I needed this video today. My small house is a literal disaster: unfinished construction bathroom rehab bled into guest room as a dumping zone. My closet got pulled apart...piles everywhere. This is an excellent reminder. Drinking my ☕ as I watch and plan where to start. Thank you!!
Knowing Eunice through her reactions to previous organizations videos, she will be inspired to edit her closet further now. What a transformation! Just a thought; would it be possible to add a bar to the "fire" room and hang the winter coats in there?
Love it all!!!! I would put the hats in the drawer with a glass top stacked together, at least the visors. Otherwise they will always fall off and be in a pile on the floor. I keep all pants and skirts together dark to light no matter the season. You rock!!
How much of a problem is the sun there in a space like a closet? Where I live, if you left winter wear, especially something black, hanging for a season next to a window it would be half grey and half black after a season of hanging by a window.
I learned the hard way that having a window in your closet is not a good thing. Anything close to the window will get sun bleached. I would put up a light blocking curtain honestly.
Not finishing the video yet (again). My favorite thing to do for the closet is to keep a designated spot for empty hangers so I can put the one I take off from clothings and find them easily later
You‘re such a hero to tackle this so successfully, I was getting so overwhelmed even just by watching. 😮 I am so glad not to have many clothes at all. I really like the idea with the “half-labels“, you‘re a genius! 😊
She’s a beautiful friend I’m in the process of decluttering my closet I thought I had so many clothes, but after seeing this video, I realize I don’t have much at all. I will still declutter my clothes because I don’t wear a lot of them
Great job April! It's a great strategy to just put the stuff that's irritating or will slow you down to the side for later.... it's not cheating it's just being efficient with the energy that you do have. I hope this helped Eunice feel less overwhelmed and more towards excitement for her new closet.
April’s TSD “Space Maker” t-shirts are THE BEST!! They are so soft!! They make a great form of motivation. It’s my new Decluttering Superhero uniform. It is cool to wear when lugging “stuff” around, and black covers the appearance of anything that can show stress (I’m thinking - as in - “no sweat” marks). And, it ships so fast. I’m thinking of getting more as mine motivates me to think “WWAD?” (What Would April Do?). 😊 I love how you organize. I could work beside you so easily as we seem to problem solve the same way. It is too true that this is a process. Right now you are at onion level 2. The outside level (level 1) was when she was at the last place and moving over to here. It was looking at the outside and deciding which “onion” to take. Now that she is at level 2, she can see this level of the onion…all of the cells are aligned (like with like). Level 3 is when tears start to sting a bit. At level 3 deep, she’ll realize what she needs to really declutter more. But, with your wonderful support, she won’t find it too stressful. I love watching this process and I totally understand your pain. Great music April. All the best from your Canadian friend. 🇨🇦 😊
Thank you so. much!!!!💛💛💛💛 I was hoping they would bring that exact energy to you when you wear them! And hiding the sweat was key🤣 This is a full body workout. I'm so glad you like yours😊
Organizing my closet.....3 short sleeve shirts - check! 2 long sleeve shirts - check! 2 sundresses - check! 2 pairs of jean leggings - check! 4 pairs of shorts - check! 2 tank tops - check! And we're done! (less than 5 mins! I'm off to the pool! lol!) April you are a *saint*
I really have 14 everyday shirts, 6 pairs of pants and a capsule wardrobe of church clothes for summer and winter. It feels overwhelming to me. I can’t imagine dealing with all of this. You do a great job.
You're a really good friend not broadcasting her skivvies online. Girlfriend does not need any more clothes wow! That is a really nice closet by the way.
I am like Eunice.... I am visual. My folded clothes are open. I thought about getting a dresser. But, in the end, I need to see them. It has taken me a long time to declutter my clothes and it is still a work in progress. Eunice is getting there! It takes time. It looks really good!
You are a miracle worker. I can completely understand why she was so stressed Even the after stresses me out. Hopefully now that she can see everything she has she will be able to continue editing her wardrobe and fingers crossed, downsize a lot of it. Watching you take all the plastic off the hangers reminds me I need to get my bridesmaids dress dry cleaned 😅
I really like this series. I know it's a lot of work but it's great to see you showing us the whole process, including the unglamorous parts. I always get great ideas from your videos! It's also nice that, although this is tough, you're also doing something so nice for a friend! Keep up the good work!
If it makes you feel any better April, today my other half and I organised the "troll hole"... this is the old coal shed that's outside our front door where we keep our DIY, paint, tools etc. It's a low ceiling, damp, full of dirt, cobwebs and spiders scarey space so a really grim place to spend time but it's now got 3 clear weatherproof bins and we know what is in them. Trust me, I'd rather have done a closet...even Eunice's 😂 x Great work and on the 2nd pass, we all know you'll make it so beautiful 🎉
Great job ! I'm sure Eunice is a lovely person, but that's a lot of clothes/stuff. Could winter things be vacuum packed and then on top shelf? Does she have partner? Where's their stuff? Hope she appreciated all of your hard sweaty work, and spring for a massage.
It's so good to have a friend who knows your needs and organizes accordingly. Everyone is different. When I moved and wanted to deal with less things in the process of moving, I packed a capsule of sorts for the next two seasons plus a few pieces for the year as if imagining I would never unpack the rest of my things in time for the seasonal change. I also had capsules for kitchen, bedroom, etc, so that I only had a few boxes to unpack after moving and could postpone the rest for later. It turned out to be a good thing so I could pace myself.
Wow what a fantastic transformation and Eunice will be thrilled, take a bow 🙇♀️ As you were moving the clothes over and back my arms were aching just watching you 💪🤣 You are physically very strong to be able to do all that. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐
I've just decluttered my kids' closets :) with kids, the donation pile is higher because they outgrow their clothes. My little one is in elementary school so I gave him a tour 😅 explaining him what is where. It was fun, and tiring, but fun
My children are grown now, but I can relate😊I had for in one room, so organizing and streamlining was essential. At the beginning of the season I would pair up outfits until they became accustomed to the new wardrobe. later in the season I could just place piles of shirts and pants in the drawers.
great job, April! Those bags from the dry cleaners are also bad because they keep the chemicals from the dry cleaning process inside and that can degrade the fabric over time.
April I always appreciate how you share your mental gymnastics as you make your way through an overwhelming job. It makes it very real that is exactly how it happens and you keep going and get it done and that’s inspiring.
I love your realism and honesty. I dont know anyone in real life that has a pinterest pantry or closet let alone that were able to make that happen in a day!
This was a lot of hard heavy work for you today but you did a great job. Glad that Eunice is in her new space and getting settled and wow, that’s going to be a fabulous closet space when it’s finished.
Overwhelming! Stressful! And absolutely satisfying😊 I imagine Eunice will feel like she's been on a shopping spree and has a massive haul - all those clothes she couldn't get to now out and available. I feel like that when I get out my winter clothes vacuum bag, and here Eunice has closets of clothes all suddenly there for the wearing. Also, thank you for keeping in the emotional turmoil of making decision after decision and dealing with an enormous numbers of items - because that roller coaster is very relatable. Moments where the flow seems to sweep through and everything comes along beautifully - then a bag of assorted stuff or a hanger with four items on it hits you and the thought of having to even take one item off the hanger feels like climbing a mountain - I felt that through the screen - and I was so relieved when you popped those hangers away for later.
Yay! Eunice & her hubby got moved in! That is one epic closet space! I have a lot of clothes like this, great ideas on getting organized then decluttering. I know this helps Eunice a lot ❤️
Maybe use the honeycomb organisers for underwear. And konmari style folding. If the seasons there are distinct, better to not use any hanging space for non-seasonal items. Just keep it in totes/baskets in that extra room.
What a satisfying watch. So much progress and this is just the initial pass. I can't wait to see the finished wardrobe. Also...I want Eunice's clothing collection. :D
You have a wonderful way of dealing with organization. I love your idea of putting clothes in order of skirts, pants, jackets etc then starting to declutter!!! Excellent video.
WOW!! What a job! I enjoy watching and I appreciate the encouragement to stay focused on what is giving us positive motivation and to set aside the draining tasks. I have had to remember over the years as I tackle big projects to stay nourished and hydrated 😊It’s a lot of moving! I would find myself irritable or slow moving and realize I had neglected a meal. I would also like to give some advice to those who have a closet window: sunlight will bleach clothing. The off season storage near the window can be draped. Using a tablecloth or sheet over the rod will protect your clothing from direct sunlight. I love how you are respectful of others rights to not be a minimalist . This is one of the reasons I enjoy watching, your sweet ways. Thanks again, for your advice and encouragement, by walking us through your decisions and accomplishments!
April, you motivate me so much that I wish I could be right there with you when you get stressed out because I have so much patience that I could help you out 😃 but I can't be there, so I'll go to keep decluttering & organizing my own place. Thanks to Eunice for allowing us to see part of one's life when it gets too much to handle but things still need to be done so, we can ask for help because we don't have to do it alone! And thanks to you April for showing us step by step on how to keep going even if it's not perfect to others because the important thing is to keep finding our "perfect" way at our own pace not matter how many times we change our "perfect" way. Sending prayers to your dad & loved ones 🙏
What a cool transformation! I'm in the process of decluttering and reorganizing my life as well so watching your videos every Sunday gives me a reboost to start the week strong ❤
This is not a personal attack at all. But I really don't understand how anybody can have and needs that much stuff. There is no way all these clothes can actually be worn.
My thoughts too. (I'd be rather disgusted with myself if I got to that point but I've always been a natural minimalist.) The expense, maintenance, and visual burden of all that stuff had me shiver.
I'm sitting here laughing at myself because I'm old and old school...It drives me crazy to see stuff put in drawers unfolded...My mother would have never stood for that...Drawers had to be clean and everything folded properly. It stuck with me. 🥴😀
Having not lived in Korea or a high rise style apartment building before its interesting to me that there are windows in the closet! Is that common? All of the apartments I've lived in (and houses too, actually) closets have been windowless. It would be interesting to see a video highlighting what you notice as differences between typical American apartments vs what's common in Korea.
How WONDERFUL to have a professional organizer help you after you move! Once again thanks to Eunice for allowing us into her home. I had no idea Korea had such cold winters - with all those coats, she’s practically Canadian🇨🇦! (I have a good friend who moved to Canada from Asia who grumbles about how you need 5 coats for winter, plus spring/fall jackets, AND rain gear.😁 It’s not like that where she’s from.)
In my own closet, everything I have is hanging except for undies and socks, those are in the 3 drawer dresser in my closet. Granted, I have pant hangers built into my wardrobe. All my sweaters are also folded onto hangers. Good thing you're tall 😅. Because I have so much less than Eunice 😅, on 1 wall, I have on the top: sweaters, all tops solid colour white to black, all tops with prints white to black, bottom: pants, leggings, all bamboo clothing white to black. But that's what works for me. You needed a whole body massage and a facial 😂 sorry, but, I really don't like the hats out, but that's me. You are wonder woman, what a job 👏👏👏👏👏👏😘💖😘💖
Making the switch to velvet hangers was the best decision I made when I started decluttering my closet. It makes everything look so cohesive and beautiful and definitely saves space
One tip I can give everyone is get all the same hangers for the same clothes. Throw out all the hangers from the dry cleaners. I know it can be expensive but it looks so much better.
Just a request. I'm moving overseas next spring. It would be helpful to talk about decluttering for a move, or minimalist packing for a move. It's just my husband and I and our cocker spaniel. We plan on 2-3 suitcases and a backpack. We'd rather buy a few things once we're there than try to ship it all. Any advice?
You did an amazing job❤❤🎉Thank you for sharing the reality of you attempting that accessory wall of hooks and shelves. I'm sure there is a good workable solution but I get the feeling those might possibly be more a good idea/bad idea.🤔
I thought about that, but after finding her winter clothes still in the bags I left I realized it may be better to just leave it all out. I'm going to try and achieve that, but as a backup we may need to store some away.
That peg system looks like what they call a French cleat. You see it used a lot in garages, especially old guys who like to make their own specialized bins.
Years ago, I discovered that I have bought twice the same t-shirt, just because I was not able at all to remember all the clothes in my closet. I 've got very angry when I realized, and open an Excel sheet to list and clasify all my clothes. Since then, when I see some clothes to buy, I check on my cell phone the Excel sheet to ensure myself that it is really a good idea. Now I buy much less clothes, and the number of my clothes have reduced quite a lot. And the closet headache, too.
This is a lot of work and takes some brain power too. I know this is a little bit older video. And purely for future reference. Those shelves can actually be adjusted. My closet system in Korea looks exactly like that one, and I adjusted mine when I moved in. There's little screws underneath on the corners that you can loosen/take out. It'll loosen the hardware and allow you to slide it up and down. The screws underneath look like they wouldn't work for that, but they do. 😊
That's some serious Space Making! 😊 More from "STRESSED & OVERWHELMED By Her Closet": czcams.com/play/PL0kH8TGnefgQiVPRrdHpaQ69qDB0sbVJq.html Last week's TINY closet organization ft.🐈⬛: czcams.com/video/pUyd6eP9l9Y/video.html
I feel like this was less calming than other videos, I kept wanting you to just take a 10 minute break, drink some ice water and breathe lol. I think you did (and always do a remarkable job). However, if things start to hurt or you're feeling overwhelmed, for long periods of time, maybe forgo the motivation and energy and just relax. There will always be time to tidy tomorrow but exhausting yourself and draining your battery so far can cause you to need to take even more of time out if you push through - at least that's what I've experienced. I hope you take care and not only pat yourself on the back and get a facial but tell us you have engaged in self care after and are taking some well deserved time off.
I adore Eunice, but whenever I see the quantity she has and how overwhelming it is, it's a great reminder the importance of how the stuff you own can end up owning you: your time, your space, your money, your sanity.

people think I'm cheap and I proudly am 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎I dont have to explain myself to others and Eunice dont have to do to us....
I dont think Eunice (or other people ) do it on purpose or with a bad heart.... for some it is impossible to see not because they are bad or not caring, but if u r not interested or not educated to see, u will never do...

OMG the half labels were so nice to peel right off. No nails were lost in the process!
Hope you enjoyed your tea and cookies!
She’s a beautiful friend
I’m in the process of decluttering my closet

OMG that sounds awful! I don't envy you at all, but I bet it feels so good to have that done. Hopefully you avoided any unwanted body crawlers.
Great job ! I'm sure Eunice is a lovely person, but that's a lot of clothes/stuff. Could winter things be vacuum packed and then on top shelf? Does she have partner? Where's their stuff? Hope she appreciated all of your hard sweaty work, and spring for a massage.

Eunice is a butterfly type. She needs to see her things. Use clear bins or storage, so she can see and enjoy her things.
Wow what a fantastic transformation and Eunice will be thrilled, take a bow 🙇♀️ As you were moving the clothes over and back my arms were aching just watching you 💪🤣 You are physically very strong to be able to do all that. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐

And I thought I had a lot of clothes - ha ha! 😂 She has about 5x more than me. Time for her to do a 2nd purge. You are a trooper for helping her. ❤
This was a lot of hard heavy work for you today but you did a great job. Glad that Eunice is in her new space and getting settled and wow, that’s going to be a fabulous closet space when it’s finished.
So much potential in it!
She can easily declutter now. I liked the i dunno section the best.
Floor space is so essential for good mental health.
Wow she still has so many clothes 😱
Overwhelming! Stressful! And absolutely satisfying😊 I imagine Eunice will feel like she's been on a shopping spree and has a massive haul - all those clothes she couldn't get to now out and available. I feel like that when I get out my winter clothes vacuum bag, and here Eunice has closets of clothes all suddenly there for the wearing.

I really like Eunice. I hope she can see how😢much she has and not keep buying or trying to stuff more in.
Yay! Eunice & her hubby got moved in! That is one epic closet space! I have a lot of clothes like this, great ideas on getting organized then decluttering. I know this helps Eunice a lot ❤️
Good work, April! My head hurts just thinking about thr thousands mini-decisions you had to make to get to the end of the day.
I got overwhelmed just by watching this.
Maybe use the honeycomb organisers for underwear. And konmari style folding. If the seasons there are distinct, better to not use any hanging space for non-seasonal items. Just keep it in totes/baskets in that extra room.
You are a superhero tackling all that! The new closet is definitely a better size for her wardrobe.
I'm trying to manifest a long closet like that for our next house! Imagine it with a beautiful runner... so dreamy!
Favorite category... Dunno! Made me laugh out loud. Great job April! Super jealous of the size of EU niece's closet.
Sorry Eunice...didn't notice I got spell checked
🤣
What a satisfying watch. So much progress and this is just the initial pass. I can't wait to see the finished wardrobe. Also...I want Eunice's clothing collection. :D
You have a wonderful way of dealing with organization. I love your idea of putting clothes in order of skirts, pants, jackets etc then starting to declutter!!! Excellent video.
Freaking AMAZING work, April!
💪
I'm glad Eunice has a friend like you. Being overwhelmed after a move is so normal and also so awful. Hope that she's feeling better now!
WOW!! What a job! I enjoy watching and I appreciate the encouragement to stay focused on what is giving us positive motivation and to set aside the draining tasks. I have had to remember over the years as I tackle big projects to stay nourished and hydrated 😊It’s a lot of moving! I would find myself irritable or slow moving and realize I had neglected a meal. I would also like to give some advice to those who have a closet window: sunlight will bleach clothing. The off season storage near the window can be draped. Using a tablecloth or sheet over the rod will protect your clothing from direct sunlight. I love how you are respectful of others rights to not be a minimalist . This is one of the reasons I enjoy watching, your sweet ways. Thanks again, for your advice and encouragement, by walking us through your decisions and accomplishments!
Great job, April! Love the closet! I love watching your videos! Hope all is well. Hugs to Izzy! Till next time!🥰👍💜
April, you motivate me so much that I wish I could be right there with you when you get stressed out because I have so much patience that I could help you out 😃 but I can't be there, so I'll go to keep decluttering & organizing my own place. Thanks to Eunice for allowing us to see part of one's life when it gets too much to handle but things still need to be done so, we can ask for help because we don't have to do it alone! And thanks to you April for showing us step by step on how to keep going even if it's not perfect to others because the important thing is to keep finding our "perfect" way at our own pace not matter how many times we change our "perfect" way. Sending prayers to your dad & loved ones 🙏
What a cool transformation! I'm in the process of decluttering and reorganizing my life as well so watching your videos every Sunday gives me a reboost to start the week strong ❤
3:47 in the US it’s called a slat wall system (source: I was an architect before becoming disabled)
That’s a lot of work! She has soooooo much!! Good job❤😊
Yay for a mostly sorted closet!
Excited for the video!
This is not a personal attack at all. But I really don't understand how anybody can have and needs that much stuff. There is no way all these clothes can actually be worn.
My thoughts too.
(I'd be rather disgusted with myself if I got to that point but I've always been a natural minimalist.)
The expense, maintenance, and visual burden of all that stuff had me shiver.
I'm sitting here laughing at myself because I'm old and old school...It drives me crazy to see stuff put in drawers unfolded...My mother would have never stood for that...Drawers had to be clean and everything folded properly. It stuck with me. 🥴😀
🤪
Oh my God. I’m exhausted just watching you bring order to this hoard. And to think there are people without shelter and food…
Having not lived in Korea or a high rise style apartment building before its interesting to me that there are windows in the closet! Is that common? All of the apartments I've lived in (and houses too, actually) closets have been windowless. It would be interesting to see a video highlighting what you notice as differences between typical American apartments vs what's common in Korea.
She does have a lot of clothes. Now she has a very big closet. It is so nice of you to get her closet organized.
Ok, honestly jealous of that closet….such a great space.
Well done, April! 👏 Very satisfying.
I really like my reversible hangers, too!
Wonderful progress! So much better!
You are so inspiring, After watching this video, I am considering reorganizing all my clothes. Love your all your videos
You did so well 😜 Love this serie.
How WONDERFUL to have a professional organizer help you after you move! Once again thanks to Eunice for allowing us into her home. I had no idea Korea had such cold winters - with all those coats, she’s practically Canadian🇨🇦! (I have a good friend who moved to Canada from Asia who grumbles about how you need 5 coats for winter, plus spring/fall jackets, AND rain gear.😁 It’s not like that where she’s from.)
Looking forward to the next part. Decluttering and tidying up. ❤
The best part🤣
Fantastic job, April! Bringing order out of significant chaos post-move is a huge job, and you rocked it! Can't wait to see what's next.
Oh no 😮 Eunice finally killed the Suitcase Designer 😢
Amazing!!!!
In my own closet, everything I have is hanging except for undies and socks, those are in the 3 drawer dresser in my closet. Granted, I have pant hangers built into my wardrobe. All my sweaters are also folded onto hangers. Good thing you're tall 😅. Because I have so much less than Eunice 😅, on 1 wall, I have on the top: sweaters, all tops solid colour white to black, all tops with prints white to black, bottom: pants, leggings, all bamboo clothing white to black. But that's what works for me. You needed a whole body massage and a facial 😂 sorry, but, I really don't like the hats out, but that's me. You are wonder woman, what a job 👏👏👏👏👏👏😘💖😘💖
Oh I'm gonna get the works
@@SpaceMakerMethod 🤣👏👏👏👏😘💖
Making the switch to velvet hangers was the best decision I made when I started decluttering my closet. It makes everything look so cohesive and beautiful and definitely saves space
Eunace needs to have a garage sale 😂
You deserve, not only a facial, but a full body massage! Great work. You are inspiring
Loving this series! You are doing a great job.
One tip I can give everyone is get all the same hangers for the same clothes. Throw out all the hangers from the dry cleaners. I know it can be expensive but it looks so much better.
Just a request. I'm moving overseas next spring. It would be helpful to talk about decluttering for a move, or minimalist packing for a move. It's just my husband and I and our cocker spaniel. We plan on 2-3 suitcases and a backpack. We'd rather buy a few things once we're there than try to ship it all. Any advice?
You did an amazing job❤❤🎉Thank you for sharing the reality of you attempting that accessory wall of hooks and shelves. I'm sure there is a good workable solution but I get the feeling those might possibly be more a good idea/bad idea.🤔
I would pack all the winter stuff away and put it in the little room.
I thought about that, but after finding her winter clothes still in the bags I left I realized it may be better to just leave it all out. I'm going to try and achieve that, but as a backup we may need to store some away.
That peg system looks like what they call a French cleat. You see it used a lot in garages, especially old guys who like to make their own specialized bins.
Great!
Well done.
True fact: The quicker you can see the floor the better!
That is an awesome closer system. ❤
Isn't it so dreamy!?
April, could you explain the fire room please, I've been trying to understand how it would work, but how? It doesn't look like a fire exit
Great job:)
That was a lot of work!
Looking forward to the next part xxx
Csn't wait!
Such a satisfying watch
Years ago, I discovered that I have bought twice the same t-shirt, just because I was not able at all to remember all the clothes in my closet. I 've got very angry when I realized, and open an Excel sheet to list and clasify all my clothes.
Since then, when I see some clothes to buy, I check on my cell phone the Excel sheet to ensure myself that it is really a good idea. Now I buy much less clothes, and the number of my clothes have reduced quite a lot. And the closet headache, too.
Please colour code the sections April 😆 I love watching you work
I have 2 winter jackets and one spring fall one!
Amazing progress!! We all need a friend like u!!❤
💛
Great job ❤
New video! Time to grab some tea and cookie 😊 And it's gonna be great for sure :)
Looks great. Beautiful closet
man, the energy you have until the end .. great job as always
This is a lot of work and takes some brain power too.
I know this is a little bit older video. And purely for future reference. Those shelves can actually be adjusted. My closet system in Korea looks exactly like that one, and I adjusted mine when I moved in. There's little screws underneath on the corners that you can loosen/take out. It'll loosen the hardware and allow you to slide it up and down. The screws underneath look like they wouldn't work for that, but they do. 😊
That's some serious Space Making! 😊

someone maybe already said this, but the way the sweaters are on hangers is actually good for them so they don't get stretched out.
Love that sweet video also where you and Izzy get your wee closet in order. ❤
I feel like this was less calming than other videos, I kept wanting you to just take a 10 minute break, drink some ice water and breathe lol. I think you did (and always do a remarkable job). However, if things start to hurt or you're feeling overwhelmed, for long periods of time, maybe forgo the motivation and energy and just relax. There will always be time to tidy tomorrow but exhausting yourself and draining your battery so far can cause you to need to take even more of time out if you push through - at least that's what I've experienced. I hope you take care and not only pat yourself on the back and get a facial but tell us you have engaged in self care after and are taking some well deserved time off.
No one needs that many clothes. She doesn't need to organize; she needs to purge.
@@myxochi She's the best helper (sort of 😆)
Love!
Just cant wrap my mind around any if it. Just too much.
Great job, April! ❤
Enjoyed this! Use the glass topped drawer for the hats & visors.
So glad she has moved, that in between time is horrible
Ugh, it really is.
