I did quite a while ago on your recommendation….love it!
@@cindydean1840 yayy it's a fun one!!
Hi, Carla and Samson! New viewer/subscriber. Binge watched several episodes over the weekend and it was just the cathartic inspiration I needed to declutter, clean, and purge my home of five large bags of everything from old cosmetics to expired pantry items. I feel lighter and more clearheaded. So much so that my workweek has been more productive at the office. I am a 59 yr old, divorced professional with a 9 month old puppy Lily. As a single person I convinced myself that certain things about my home didn’t matter as I am the only person seeing those spaces. Thank you for the encouragement of progress not perfection. It was the boost I needed to make changes because doing it for myself is enough of a reason❤️
This makes me so happy! Yay! And hello to little puppy Lily!!😍
Like me! Discovered this great channel today!
As much as I love you Carla, let's face it, I'm watching for Sansom's Oscar worthy performances at this point!!! I thought he couldn't get any cuter when he backed out of the kitchen with his greenie, but then milking the "sore paw" for all it's worth really stole my heart hahaha. He's such a little character x
He has personality for days! I swear he’s constantly entertaining me lol
Sampson backed out with that doggo treat he was not playing 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
He,s so adorable
That was the best, he’s so cute !
Haha yessss best part of this vid
Yess!❤ Super adorable! 😘🐾🐾
The way Samson backed up outta the kitchen like “thank youuuuu” 😂
He doesn’t trust kitchens he’s so funny
Carla, I've said it before but, I just love the music you curate for this channel.
I appreciate that!🥰
I've also mentioned in the past what excellent music Carla uses in her videos. There was just one song in a past video, it was in Spanish with a lot of swearing involved, obviously she was not aware of it, so I found it so funny!
I did catch that! @@Xiroi87
Agreed!
I love your decluttering and cleaning videos! You show the realistic side of how we all live. Its not all perfect and new, most of us live in old spaces with used appliances and furniture. It makes me feel good to see the difference you make in a space. I also love your videos that you have done with your sister. I have a family member that is a boarder line hoarder and you show how you help her and let her make the decisions.
Thank you so much!!
Samson walking past in a tartan raincoat because he IS The Moment.
A precious, sweet baby angel.
I think what I love about your videos, along with the music, is remembering being on my own and doing things to please myself. It has been over forty years since that time, I miss it. Thank you for this video.😘
Sometimes you can find really nice frames at Goodwill or other thrift stores for your art work.
Definitely! That’s the plan!
I love how much you love Samson, he is super sweet and laid back!!!
He’s my best friend 🥰❤️
I have these moments when I walk by a spot (probably ….most likely…more than once) that needs decluttering and I think, “what would Carla do?” Thanks for being that little voice over my shoulder! Hi Sampson! ❤️
Oh my gosh you made my night thank you!!!
Same. Same!
I just fixed a light bulb that was broken for weeks. Yay! "What would Carla do" works for me, too!
@@TheCarlaProject You know you've made it when people think of you when they declutter and organize!
A crow in a painting symbolizes wisdom.
Hope there's no flooding etc where you are. Glad Samson survived his paw 'injury' 😄
The limp mysteriously disappeared when he was running to the kitchen for his treat 😂
@@TheCarlaProject😂😂😂
This is my favorite cleaning video. I love the music. I'm so tired of those videos with ASMR. I also got rid of my flat sheets. My bed feels so much better. Keep doing what you're doing Carla! I love it.
I only use flat sheets in the summer (no blankets.) I really liked the floral sheet she donated. Would be great to make an outfit from it.
I’m scared of dogs, but your little one has kind eyes
Since your space is the bedroom and office, the calendar on the wall would interfere with your vibe unless you place it very low on the wall behind your desk. Great music selection and lovable Samson.
Staring: Samson, the goodest boi 😍
It seems not bringing things in that makes the biggest difference. It is a process.❤
I’m never gonna be someone who doesn’t buy some thing ever again so that’s not likely :)
That Sampson is such a suave old gentleman, backing out of the room so gracefully 🤣🤣
Love your calming voice, music, practical ideas, and of course love Samson!! I laughed out loud when his paw drama happened. Glad he got a treat!!!
lol he’s a survivor 😂
I really appreciate you showing that even though you do this for a living that your place can get messy as well. it’s nice to see that we are all human and that nobody has a perfect spotless place every single day.
oh yes i started this whole channel bc i needed accountability and i still do!! better than where i started but have more to improve! :)
My house can get trash so fast but it also can get clean so fast without the clutter. Samson ❤ xoxo for his Bo bo 🐾 and he gets a treat...so worth it.
I watch every new video! Love your channel
I’m going to her house this weekend and we’re gonna do some decluttering so new stuff coming soon!!
Yay!! Can't wait. @@TheCarlaProject
Dog shelters would love to have those flat sheets😊
Yeah, there’s one by me. They got Samson’s old dog bed. I’ll drop the sheets off there.
Carla, l mentioned that I am househunting. Much to my surprise, 2 homes so far, had an antique stove like yours! I wasn't freaked out because I could see it for what it was. I was napping, and when that lovely jazz started, I woke up to your delightful content. Thanks.
Oh my gosh keep sending me househunting updates!!!
I will. It's a crazy market right now, but I believe the right house will tick all my boxes and make my heart skip a beat. Just like my first house did.
❤❤❤ Samson in the raincoat!!!😊
Ahh, nothing like a rainy day indoors and jazz. I love your music selections!
Nice tidy and clean and declutter! I don’t think it’s necessary to be an extreme minimalist. I think we need to enjoy our spaces and our things, over adhering to strict rules (eg 125 items). Your place is so lovely. Samson is such a cutie and reminds me of our Great Dane (he had one eye with a black rim and one that was missing the pigment, like yours). ❤️
Oh, you’re the first person I’ve heard whose
Dog had the same thing with the eyes. So cool!! It’s his birthmark 💖😍
I’m def not a minimalist. And my place gets very messy. Dog hair and dust mites. Craft stuff, things to resell or donate. Regular dirt from just daily living. My back is kaput, so it takes me a long time to get a clean house.
I had a golden/husky. The very tops of his eyes were icy blue.
I totally agree that not everyone should strive for extreme minimalism. It took me four years to completely declutter my house. I kept only things I used or that bring me joy. My goal was to simplify my life. Going into minimalism would have totally stressed me out. To each their own.
Two screens can be super useful for working between two items. I have three screens at my work desk and some days that's not enough. You could also put the big screen on an arm that clamps to the side of the desk and swing it back against the wall when not in use. Great work!!
Glad you and Sampson are ok!
You're better than me. When it's gloomy and rainy I cannot for the life of me get going on cleaning. My adhd has me watching in super speed and that always motivates me. Great video as always.
I also agree about the flat sheets. I haven’t used them for years 🙂. I have the same kind of double kitchen sink you do, and keep a smaller dish rack in it instead of the rolling thing you use. I can stack a lot more drying dishes in it and wash as I go (sort of). Yours are the only videos I watch regularly and it brightens my day when a new one comes out. You, your apartment, and Sampson are so easy to relate to. Thanks so much 🤩!
Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for watching us again and again 😍💖
Love the relaxing music.
I got rid of the flat sheets years ago and never looked back. Now, when i stay somewhere with them, it drives me crazy. So much easier without them.
Yessss!!
There is something so comforting to me about putting on one of your cleaning and decluttering videos while I’m cleaning and decluttering. My husband pokes fun at me and I always laugh back that you and I are cleaning buddies. Thanks for being a motivation to me to get off my butt and clean!
Ha ha I’m so happy!! 😀 💖
When you mentioned in between clothes, I think you were probably referring to clothing that you just wore once and you want to wear again before washing. I hang clothes like that back in my closet, but I turned the hanger, the other way on the rod. And then for clothes that I don’t hang up, I fold them and set them on my dresser. A lot of people find success in having hooks on the back of the door to hang clothing that’s not quite ready to wash.

Samson.... You are absolutely THE BEST!!! Such a gentle soul. I think you two are made for each other Carla... You take care of each other ❤️
Thank you so much! We do!!❤️
Fitted sheets only!!!!!! I always donate the flat sheets as soon as I get them.
Samson is such a sweetheart! I love seeing the interactions between you and him. Enjoyed the video, your apartment is so nice. Especially love the orange sofa!
Thank you so much!
Your place looks so nice and comfortable. And I love how Samson spun around when you said treat. ❤
He’s so funny!!
@@TheCarlaProject he's a love.
I hate rainy days days 😷 Ive been sick. Just now starting to feel better after 12 days. Ive taken out trash, laundry in, dishwasher going. I ordered groceries and had them delivered. Still need to put clothes away and make my bed. Well straighten the covers anyway. It is 820 pm. I love the lady and crow pic. Its beautiful
Get well!!❤️
I love that extreme minimalist life too but I too have a hard time pairing down further. There are things I know I don't use though, I could do better. I hate flat sheets too!
I took a break from decluttering my bedroom to watch you decluttering yours now I'm trying to decide if I want to get back to it tonight or finish it tomorrow
Finish it tomorrow, bright and early!💖
Aww Samson is such a sweetheart, he looks like such a gentle old man with his big soulful eyes and gray chin.❤
Yes, he does!😍
I lean towards putting things in little drawer organizers, but I like the idea of sorting junk drawer things using a jewelry organizer. And, yeah, I gave up flat sheets a long time ago. What doesn't serve you has gotsta go! Including flat sheets lol
Great job. The house looks fresh and brand new❤
I have gotten rid of all my flat sheets too. Hate them. I used to have one to put on my couch if I or anyone needed to sleep there, but now I just use my extra fitted sheet for that.
Thank you for sharing a glimpse - once again- of your home and tidying routine. So inspirational.
Hi Carla and Samson. ❤
Decluttering on a rainy day = perfect.
The sound of your videos is great. I'm not a fan of videos with microphones held, I can't explain why, I just don't like it.
Your "one item comes, so another one has to go" is a concept easy to follow.
I have to admit a purchase of impulse buying... didn't turn out well. It was a kind of local flea market, online.
So, I got the address of the person selling it, got there and while looking at the decoration items I thought "hm...I don't like them as much as I thought I would". And yet I purchased them. Why ? There was no obligation from my side. I could and should have said I changed my mind. Did I do that ? No.
At home the first thing I did was try to get rid of them. A couple of days later an older lady showed up and gratefully took them.
What's the lesson learned ? More thinking, sugarcoating when browsing online. 😂😢
Love your bedspread , and thank you so much for your inspiration through this rain
You are so welcome!🤗
I just use a duvet w cover and fitted sheet too
I was anti flat sheet when I was younger, but I came back around for quilts. Plus if you find the right sheets it can be so soft! I like lyocell eucalyptus sheets. They get softer each wash with no nasty chemicals!
Yes! I have the best quilt from schoolhouse. I absolutely adore it!And I love sheets. Especially good linen sheets. I just don’t like getting tangled up in the flat sheet but some other people in the comments also said they changed their mind as they got older. Will have to check out those eucalyptus sheets!
Love the 1 in 1 out rule! 😊 Sampson is the cutest! 🐾
Hope you and your family are safe from the rain troubles.
Omg! I’m so excited for a new evening video from you right now. Going to watch while I fold clothes. 🎉
Yay! Thank you!❤️
Heard the weather has been dreadful happy to see you and Samson are doing well. I enjoyed this video. 🙏🏽❤️💯
Thanks so much💖💖
Oh Sampson, what a cutie! ❤
I love how Samson backs out of the kitchen. LOL He is so cute.
HI I love your channel Detroit Michigan ❤❤❤❤ your dog 🐕 made me laugh when he back out the kitchen 🤣
I love how you help your sister ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the music ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️
It's a cold rainy morning in England, so this was a perfect video to watch!
I hope you get your Cali sunshine back soon! Me, here in PNW, I'm used to the rain 🌧 🌧 🌧
Today was better!!
Have so much to declutter! It’s tough to do so when it’s cold and raining, all I want to do is lay in bed with my heated blanket 😢 .. I’ll try to start tomorrow and Friday while listening to this!
Yes, tell yourself you’ll do 10 minutes without stopping and then you’ll get on a roll!!❤️
@@TheCarlaProject cleaned the fridge and took out trash! Yay!
Your videos are always inspiring, whenever i finish watching one i always look around and see if a can declutter something. 😂
I'm so glad!😀 You
Hi Carla, I totally agree with you I don’t use a flat sheet . Love your channel😀
Ditto. No top sheet. They just end up becoming a tangled hot mess.
You’re motivating me😅
On rainy days turn on lots of lights and your favorite music and start jammn
Have you considered hooks on a wall (maybe behind your door in the bedroom?) for in-between clothes? Got the idea from Cas from Clutterbug and I LOVE mine. So simple, but I wear my pajamas several nights, workout clothes a couple days, etc, and I love having a home for them that’s off the floor…
Carla, I dont know if you realize….you made ur bed with fresh sheets and made it all clean. Then you picked up everything off the dirty floor complete with dog hair and put it on ur bed, and now it is all dirty. Maybe you should reverse the order you are using. Floor things sorted and put away first then the bed last ❤
Eh it’s ok I cleaned it again. It gets done and it’s all good.
I also stopped using flat sheets. They always just end up at the foot of the bed or on the floor. I did keep like two, I think, though because they have come in handy for other random things. Like when I need something to cover the floor or twice when I moved and needed something to cover the windows at night until I could get curtains.
Cool! It's so good to hear you say you don't like flat sheets, I discovered a long time ago I hate them too, and all I need is my duvet covers from Anthropologie which are the most beautiful things I've ever seen and I spent a lot on them but I only have two and it's so easy to make the bed every morning. The pattern is so boho and beautiful of one of them I think it's called the Matteo if you care to check it out, and what it serves as is basically one big art piece focal point for me instead of art on the wall. I know it's weird to say there's no art on my wall, but I'm an artist, LOL so most of the art on the wall around the rest of my house is mine😊
I used to have a gorgeous duvet cover from Anthropologie . It was like a tree and mountains and it was blue and gray. It was gorgeous but it got ruined in the wash. I’ll check yours out. It sounds lovely😍
Hi Carla,
I like to clean and declutter when it’s raining too. I enjoyed your videos.
Sampson and those eyes…too cute. I got out 6 closet items. One jacket, one sweater poncho, 2 tops & 2 shoes. I am allowing myself to bring in 3 new shoes and one sweater/cardigan/poncho type item. I had the hubs add a hook in the closet for my work tote and I got one new basket to hold my other handbags to store in the closet. I am done replacing handbags for now and I only have one more shoe to purchase (loafer) and I’m done adding to my wardrobe until Spring. I will make a small list of what I will need and it’s usually T-shirts & a refresh on under garments and one pair of cropped jeans, possibly one more handbag. So that budget will be moderate. When I take things out I create a plan of what I will replace. I have purchased some affordable options in shoes to see what I actually wear, then I replace them with a better brand. For instance. I got some Target sandals in neutral colors and found I do wear the colors. I replaced them with Birkenstocks in those colors. The same with my loafer and a pair of flats and one short heel. When I’m done I will end up with 10 pair of shoes. 3-sandals, 3-sneakers, 1-loafer, 1-flat, 1-heel, 1-boot. It has taken me a few years to figure out a system that will work for me and finding quality items within my budget and I have really enjoyed the process. ❤👜👟🧣👖👚🧥
Looooove your method!!! Adore it and working on similar precision with my wardrobe later this year. I doubt my wardrobe will be that small, but I do want it to be that refined and purposeful,
@@TheCarlaProject I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really feel good about it. I also started taking photos of outfit combinations and saving them on my phone. Not that I’m stylish or anything. Mostly dress like a geranimals graduate. Kinda matching coordinating kinda vibe, but it’s working. Here are the brands I like for shoes. Sketchers for sneakers, Birkenstock for sandals, Thursday Boots for boots, Ralph Lauren for loafer, Naturalizer for small heel & flat. My handbags are Tory Burch, Dooney & Micheal Kors and I only purchase on sale or outlets.
What a marked difference between your house & your sister’s house!!! You are so minimal and your sister is trying to become minimalist. Such a difference!!! 🌺🌺🥰🥰❤️❤️
Oh yeah, but I’ve come along way you should see my old videos!!
Ive been really low energy past few days. Winters long 😊 thanks for the motivation
great video, love the inspiration for just small consistent decluttering
Thanks so much! 😊
i love how ruthless you are with decluttering! I'm the same way with flat sheets i can't stand them 😅 I'm dying laughing at the face lifter 😂😂😂 I didn't even know they made something like that! 😅
It had decent reviews, so maybe it works but I think it would give me a headache wearing it as much as I would need to 😂
If that banjo music doesn't get us motivated, nothing will.☺💞
Carla, I love how real your vids are, no tidying up before we see your apartment etc. Samson was funny in this one. I have art propped everywhere and I laughed at your realistic timeframe for getting your new pieces on the walls 😂. Same here.
And I’ll be lucky if I make it happen that quickly lol
😂@@TheCarlaProject
Thank you for showing your home once again. The way you share, even though you do this for a living, clutter can catch up with you. Looks great. See you soon. Be well.🥰
That kobenstyle pot is adorable!! Also, I hate flat sheets.
Yes, isn’t it cute! I kind of wish I bought the smaller one …the butter warmer
put mole skin inside the shoe where your toe hits...its not easy to do but it is possible with a bit of practice. Or put bandaid on. your toenail. nothing to do with your toes just the way they move in your shoes haha ...hope this helps
hi Carla, hugs from Chicago
🤗
You are phenomenal ❤️ I always look forward to your videos I end up finding 10 more things to declutter . You and Samson make the day brighter!
Thanks kryssi!!💖🥰
Hi Carla, I found the no buy challenge with your sister very interesting, since you are right - the clutter never ends when new things keep coming in all the time . Thanks for sharing!
I decluttered all the flat sheets from my house (family of 5) except for one set for guests :) We all can't stand them haha.
I’m not alone 😂
Such beautiful music and shots.. love this. Nice just being “stuck at home” with The Carla Project 🤗
You have all that room on the wall next to the computer that you could have some type of organizing system. Shelves, bulletin board with holes and containers ,lots of options for the small things that collect on your desk.
Yay, it's Carla's video!! 🥰 I was decluttering today and singing 'to the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left' and it was helping. Carla, I wanted to make a suggestion regarding your coffee table in the living room: you can wrap black rubber string around the metal, so that the glass doesn't slide off. It's a nice table and I think it's worth keeping. Samson is ❤ as always. Laughed out loud when he exited the kitchen backwards.
Enjoy your videos and also they are useful information 👍🏻
When I was a I’d I hated the flat sheet, never used one until I got married. I used to think I was so weird. 😀. Now I see a lot of people online don’t use to sheets! You do what’s comfortable for you!
I love your videos. My favorites are the ones with you and your sister but I absolutely love the ones with you and Sampson❤ I look at Sampson and he is so cute. My Otis who is a 7 yr old cairn terrier act the same way with his greenies. It’s like I gave him a best friend to play with before he eats it.😂😂 I digress I still love my flat sheets something about my OCD that I need my bed to feel complete, but that’s just me. Obviously, you do you, your choice, whatever makes you happy 😊Have a blessed day my friend and stay safe🙏tell sis, I said hi.
Blessings to you and your terrier too!!❤️❤️
I tuck the ends of my flat sheets under the mattress on either side, so that way, when I crawl into bed, I'm tucked inside the flat sheets like a caccoon, lol. It keeps them from tangling up and adds an extra layer of warmth during the cold season. I live in central California, and we get snow a couple of times a year here.
You blew my mind when you collapsed that Ikea basket!!
Hey Carla!
I enjoyed your video a lot. What seems to be your repetitive problem is that things pile up because you don‘t put them back. What helped me was the note „everything that can be put away in less that 1-2 minutes should be done right away“. This Note always comes to my mind when i want to put things down where they don‘t belong. Maybe it helps you too 😊
I was looking forward to the home laundry.
I send my laundry out to get done
@@TheCarlaProject OH no. I'll miss your portable w&d.
Love your calm chill videos & music, love your apt keep it like you have it with the pops of colours, hi to Samson💕🪷🪷
😊 thank you
So happy to see your video! Love rainy days, for reading books with a cup of tea, but after cleaning, so I can relax in a nice clean space! Everything looks so nice and I bet Sampson is happy the rain is finally over too!
I am on the couch with a cup of tea right now. It started raining again 😆
Well done on doing everything especially on a rainy day. I’d prefer to stay in bed or the couch if not working. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪🙏🐕🦺
You are so calm
