There’s something about your home and style that is just so simple, cozy, and inviting. I use your videos for inspiration all the time.

I'd find a drop leaf table in round or oval, you could push it against the wall with just one leaf open for yourself or both leaves down to make it more like a hall table. Use both leaves when you have guests. Buy chairs that stack.

If you’re handy or know someone that is, a small banquette would be adorable with storage in benches!

Hey Carla!! I have a portable washer that we got right before the pandemic! It was crazy good. We lived in a small 4th floor apartment and what a lifesaver! We still have it at our house now in addition to the other full size ones. I usually air dry everything except sheets. It is a lifesaver!

Oval or round table should give you more room in that nook area. Love the dinner vibes toward the end of the video. Nothing like candles and art to set the vibe!

Every time I see you use the portable washer, I'm SO tempted to get one because I hate lugging my laundry down 3 flights of stairs to the basement.

I could watch your videos every day. They’re so chill and soothing.

Hi Carla. I'd look at the square Ikea drop side/drop leaf tables. That way you could fold it down and push it against the wall to save space when it is just you at home.

hi ;) i have exactly a very quite similar washing machine, portable, i feel it very easy and it works the same :) very unusual, first time i see some else to have one too :) and this video is on perfect timing, stop procrastination, time to do 💪 YEP :) and rainy day too here in France ;) so perfect day to do it so i felt today :) thank you for the extra motivation you offer us :) 😘✨ have a lovely Sunday ;) and week too :) and for everyone :)

Great video! I think a round table would work great in your dining nook, because one of your chairs would fit nicely in the corner. Happy New Year!

I am so loving your new haircut. I just rest this weekend too. I usually leave things up through epiphany but then things happened and I had to wait another week to put all the Christmas stuff away. But it feels great to have a refreshed more minimal house again after all the holiday stuff.

the **lightness** you feel after that last return!! Love your videos. I like to take the $$ I get from returns to buy myself one small treat like an iced latte and put the rest in an emergency fund or towards a trip.

I love rainy days for cleaning, sunny days you want to be outside 😊

2 things - one, I love your cleaning & decluttering videos! I find them so relatable & relaxing! two, Guurl, you need to hang some artwork in your space!! lol!! Seriously tho, the vibe you can create with art hanging on your walls is everything & you have so much space to hang! I know you said you were going to rehang that one piece you already have over by your dining nook --- but then I was looking at your stair well & the walls at the top of the stair well - great places for you to create a gallery wall, some ecclectic art or whatever you want or want to diy maybe....just a thought...I think you would love how it feels!! Be Well Carla♥

I still can't get over how fab your hair looks! Thanks for all the wonderful motivation to get stuff done! I finally took down all the Christmas goodies and got all those bins back in storage and out of the way. Feels so nice!

I have the same exact washing machine. It works so good. I love your videos so much. You give me motivation to clean, and your apt feels so cozy. 😊

Love the pot color. More planners/organizers the more organized you are. Yeah right! 😆 Great job ticking things off the to do list.

Still love your hair cut! For your dining area - Just a thought - How about benches along he two walls - a square table that you could push up to the wall when you don't need the extra seating and two chairs. It could be a cute all-purpose space when you don't need it for dining. Love your videos!.

Enjoy watching you get your stuff done; now I need to get mine done!

Every once in awhile do wash at the Laundromat & get it done. Come home on a rainy day & veg out afterwards.

I always wondered what the big deal is with planners. I've always used a list. Last year I got myself a planner, which I LOVE! The first of the year, I freaked out when I realized I went through the whole thing! I had to run out & get another one! It keeps me more motivated.

We use cloth washrags and towels in the kitchen instead of paper towels, unless it's a gloopy mess. We have saved so much money not using paper.

I like the comments suggesting an L shaped bench and round table. Benches would have storage. You could probably find someone to build them for you. I have seen other channels use short, upper kitchen cabinets as benches. Could get them at Ikea or the basic ones from Lowes. A round table would take up less room. Weather - hope you're in a safe area.

Watching you tackle those pesky returns has motivated me to organize mine, thank you Carla! I appreciate and look forward to your videos. Happy new year to you and Samson! 💕😊

Love your videos!!❤ Watching you take down the tree, I realized I have the same basket!😲 I got mine from the maker at a fair in Tehachapi, but I'm sure she also does lots of fairs in LA 😄👍

I think a round table will fit very nicely in that nook! They exist in +- 40 inches in diameter, I reckon that will fit nicely, with 4 suede chairs? So many possibilities!!

I suggest a round table that expands to maybe accomodate 4 people. A round table will take less space and will not impede the flow of traffic around it. Happy New Year!

Lovely to see the free range eggs! 👏👏

Hi Carla, this was a wonderful video. You are so informative. I don't have any children, but some of these young women could really learn a lot from you with home organization. That said, with the hand towels, such a wonderful idea. Last year I decided that the paper towels are getting too high along with everything else in this country. I went to Walmart and brought some of those cheap white wash cloths that are in a bundle of about 15 or 20. I dedicate those rags for only the kitchen. They are kept in a container alone so when it comes to wash they don't get mixed up with any bath laundry. I use them to wash and/or dry dishes. This has really cut down on cost of paper products. Much love from Charlotte, N.C.

You always give lots of inspiration! I’ve been in a rut lately! I’ve been using the “less is more” mantra and that’s helping me let go and put $$ towards upcoming trips with my kids. FYI I had that washer during my home Reno and it works great!!! I’d use it again in a heartbeat. I like the smaller footprint!

I have a similar washer and it is life changing I hook it up to the bathtub. Sometimes it’s annoying that you can only do small loads but it beats making a trip to the laundromat. Also I feel like it is more gentle on my clothing and will help them last longer.

I think a small round table would be perfect for the space.

I agree with others that a drop leaf table would be a smart move! Happy new year 🥳

I’d suggest a round or oval table plus chairs and some really large wall art to define the area. I’d go for chairs as they are better for back support, for tucking myself closer to the table and cleaning under after the meal! 😮 Just love bistrot style!

Thanks, you just helped me clean and organize my apartment top to bottom!

Yay - I love it when you take us out around LA ❤

Happy New Year! 🎆

Nice to see Mr Samson again🥰🐺

Cozy vibes, yaaaaas

Always very classy! Great video! :) Loved Sampson looking back at you during his walk. Hope you have a great week, too!

Loved going along with your various tasks for the day!! And your hair is just so cute!!

I just love your vlogs!

Carla I like your channel because you are very real and humbe

Happy New Year...Great Reset!

I think a square table with benches that slides under the table would look nice & be most space saving. Small decorative trays/plates can be used to coral items. I always have my soap dish in the bathroom on a tray. It's easier to clean up spills.🙂

Round bistro table & 2 chairs❣️

Love the hair lady, looks like you! Yes to a round table and two chairs for your dining setup!

What a great use you made of that rainy day, when you could have wasted it lounging around and watching an old movie, feeling fed up! I love the way that it finishes. You must be so pleased with the way you're starting off the year.

Definitely a round table with the chairs backed against the 2 walls. Love your videos and I think it’s awesome when you put the date on the screen that shows when you were filming. I image what I was doing on that day.

I agree with you on the airpods. Just get the real ones. they are great. If you wait til prime day or you know somone who has a costco membership, they go on sale pretty often there as well.

That was a good reset for the new year. Way to start off.😊

🎉🎉happy new year! Great video gorgeous

I absolutely love you with short hair. Your so pretty with the shorter hair.

I love these kinds of days where you just get $%# done. Come on 2023 🎉❤😊

You’re the best! Love listening to you and LOVE your music choices. 💕

I am loving your haircut! Needed this today, I am surrounded by my Christmas decor, and watching KZfaq! 🙄 Will get up and get at least one thing done!😃

✨Happy 2023✨

The Wreath on the mirror is such a cool idea; it gives a pretty effect

Love your channel!

I bought a round 37” cream chunky pedestal table with some funky coral pink mid century modern chairs. I had originally purchased acrylic ghost chairs but needed some color. Which was a big step for me. I found that a drop leaf table usually stayed against the wall in a dark corner that was not inviting. Tip, don’t sit at a table or desk facing the wall, it’s very isolating.

You should consider a top leaf table. They are versatile in size and can give you more options longer.

Was lovely to have your company while cleaning the dishes. Great to see, what you got done, as well. Have a lovely day, too 😊

Happy New Year Carla! Great job resetting your space. And, FWIW, I think Sampson would make an awesome Batman ❤️

Round table is i gues the best option in that corner and than add some nice photos and hanging plants with it. Round table looks softer and gives more space😘

This is literally my M.O. at the moment! My kids birthdays are all in the new year 😅 so I'm always low key stressing that as SOON as their various festivities are enjoyed, I need to PURGE, TIDY & REALLY start my new year! A very therapeutic watch, tfs girl & Happy New-ish Year! 😘

Happy New Year, Carla! Shell from Philly🔔

Indoor picnic bench!

Happy Blessed New Year 😊💖💖💖

I have learned so much on how to declutter even the smallest things by watching your videos. I still struggle wuth a few things because if my mom gives me something and i dont like it, its very hard to get rid of it because i still live in the same house as her and she sorts through all of our donations before letting it go in her car to get donated.

A corner breakfast nook would be soooo cute! The kind with bench seating, and the bench portion also has storage. Very bistro-ish! 💕

Love this. Excellent topic, music, and especially you!!

Stalker is so handsome bless him 🥰☮️💜 thanks for the trips out I do like seeing you shops I have no idea why lol

Haha! You are like one of my friends. She spends so much time returning stuff!!!

I think a table with some built in benches along the wall would be great in that corner! I know you said you usually have company over often so the extra seating would be great! You could also push the table completely over the benches when it is just you to have more room! I love that little washer! It is so cute and useful!!

Girl....procratination is my first, middle and last name....im gonna do my dishes as I watch this video!!! THANK YOU!

Bench seating against the wall(storage in the bench) and two chairs. And an oval table for your dining nook so you never have sharp edges aimed at you while trying to sit down on the bench. Just a thought. Or round table and 2/3 chairs. Up to you how many you want to accomodate.

I‘ve had my fair share of failed dining furniture purchases. Now that I‘m being Minimalist, I found that expandable, non-blocky and stackable ones are ideal for me. I also just buy from IKEA… they‘re uncomplicated. Personally, I have the Lissabo dining table paired with Kyrre stools at home. The table has removable legs so it can be stashed away when we don’t need them. The Kyrre stools are stackable and we also use them sometimes as extra couch sidetables. Been happy with these choices so far. 😊 This may sound weird but I also use a desk chair with wheels (similar to the Blykobb model). I love having it by the dining table. It‘s comfy and easy to use. It‘s also fun just rolling/turning with it. It‘s usually the only one out and the stools are stacked under the table. Perfect for when it‘s just you and since there‘s no backrest, you can also just roll it under the table when you don‘t use it. It’s space saved and out of the way. I think the white round Ingatorp table would look nice in your dining nook. Since it expands for up to 6 people, you can pair it with 4-6 stackable stools/chairs for when you have guests. I‘d go for stools though, less bulky and guests are usually fine sitting on them anyway. If you add simple cushions or themed fabrics on them, they‘d look fancy and comfy enough for parties too.

36" round table for the nook. It will be proportionate to the rest of the room but give you enough space for 2-3 people to eat at the table without feeling like their plates are in their laps.

You can use soap dish for stain it works fine, just don’t put too much

Hi Carla - thank you for the returns motivation. I don’t know why it’s so difficult! But it sure feels good getting it out of the house and back into my bank account. 💰 $$$. Have a great week! ❤

I appreciate you being so real. I'd love to have a friend to help me declutter and organize.

Agreed.....Envy apples are absolutely the BEST apples. Developed down here in New Zealand, we love them!!

I too am addicted to planners....wow that felt good to get it off my chest! Love your videos!❤

Oh wow I never knew you had portable washing machines? That’s really convenient if you don’t have a washing machine connection! Also like I see being mentioned by more people, I would get a (small) round dining table for your dining nook.

Lovely day in L.A.! 💕 Trader Joe’s is the best! I did not know anyone still made portable washers! Genius move!!

About to watch your two latest videos while I tackle my laundry mountains 🙃 thank you for the company🖤

Great cozy video, watching this on a Sunday and feeling inspired to do some cooking and cleaning 🥰❤️

You videos are so relaxing ❤

Good job!

Envy apples are the best!!

Circle table. It’s the best for small spaces.

I would go with a small round table with two chairs.

Hope you didn’t get that really bad rain. I think a little round bistro table with chairs would soften the harshness of the square area. Great video

We're in the midst of taking down our Christmas decor too. So far on day 4. It's taking FOREVER. It feels super empty at first but also pretty nice to have more "breathing space" I'd say for that corner two chairs and a small round table would look nice.

Awesome video

happy new year from Italy !😊😊😊😊

I think round or square table can work. Sometimes a round table take a little bit more space and a square one can be shifted in the corner when not in use.

Love your hair.

🥰oh so exciting... I've been procrastinating in so many areas...you really get me motivated to tackle it now🐨

Your shorter hair is a 10. Looks stylish and sassy.
