I love organizing and decluttering videos!! There’s such a feeling of accomplishment when you have a decluttered and organized space! 👏👏👏

@katherinestobbe5556 Жыл бұрын

I SO appreciate that you made this video! I am personally extremely encouraged by what you shared! More than you could ever imagine! I have really struggled with getting SO far behind with having health issues, lack of energy and then motivation…that is So needed to take on organizing and categorizing what needs to be sorted! ❤

@firinne870 Жыл бұрын

Katherine, I can completely understand and empathize with that! It helps me to just do one little area at a time-a drawer, a shelf, etc. Sometimes it’s also fun to set a timer for say, 10-15 minutes and do all you can to tidy up in that time limit…you get to racing the timer and challenging yourself to finish. I don’t know if that will help you, but just do what you are able, rest as needed and give yourself plenty of grace! ❤️blessings to you.

It's actually gratifying to see that every room in your house is not picture perfect and that you have some of the same disorganized spaces that we all have. And it's inspiring to watch you tackle those spaces with shelving that looks fairly easy to put together and doesn't cost an arm & a leg. It makes me feel that cleaning up & organizing my disaster of a basement is possible and that I better get to it. Thanks for the push to get going on it!!

May God continue to bless you and your family.

I have a long way to go to even catch up with what you show, but I am less hard on myself just seeing that the people I admire and watch are just as human as I am. We don't always have all the time, space and energy to have things as we would like them. Blessings to you and your family. ❤

We had a “cold room” growing up where we would put canned fruits, jams, pickles, chicken, and all our root vegetables from our huge garden. I remember several hot days during the summer where there was an assembly line for blanching peas and beans and putting them in small plastic bags for the freezer. I hated all the prep work, but sure enjoyed all the preserves and veggies during the winter!!

I love to have things organized! I also have a spare room dedicated to decor storage. I love to go in that room and “shop” for decorations for whatever season it is. I love to refinish furniture so I have a couple of armoire’s and dressers that I chalk painted and I store my decorations and faux flowers in them so they gave them a purpose as well. I love to put together vignettes so I have a lot of small pieces that I keep in clear containers that I store in an armoire. I totally relate to this video. I look forward to all your videos and love them all but favorites are when you repurpose furniture or work with wood. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy them soooo much. 😊

@ginagonzalez6547 Жыл бұрын

You wanted comments, I've learned from professional organizers thst the way we can keep a space organized is by putting likes with likes ( cups with cups, cans with cans, panta with pants) to give it a designated permanent home. That way even in the dark you can find it because it's it's home. Another thing I've learned is to periodically revise the space by purging. If I buy something, I have to really, really need it or really, really like it. And when I bring it home, I have to get rid of something to replace with the new item. Another words substitute not add if it makes sense. I'm applying these principles and is working. Hope it works for you. Thank you for sharing your life with is. I admire you and learn a lot from you also.

When I was growing up, we had a "fruit cellar" under our front porch that naturally maintained a consistent temperature of about 50-55degrees. My Mother stored all her canned fruits and vegetables, as well as a couple bushels of Northern Spy apples in the Fall, as they would stay cool and fresh for her wonderful apple pies.

Everyone I know {Utah} calls those rooms a "cold storage room". And, if someone is building a home they put it in the basement level under the front porch area so all the walls are concrete, no windows, just a small vent for air circulation {covered by a mesh so bugs don't get in}. I go to Parade of Homes Shows all the time all around the state and that's what the builders call them also. Thank you, I love your videos!

I’d put the pillows on the top shelf because they are so light. Then you’d have more useable shelves for the heavier items below. Yes, we called it the fruit room.. my parents had a huge cabinet in the basement where my mother stored her home canned fruits and veggies along with her unused canning equipment and supplies. It was always full. I remember she’d ask us to run down and get a jar of beans or raspberry sauce. My favorite was the raspberry sauce which I still make to this day. I don’t can it, just eat it. She had peaches, pears, plums, apricots, blueberries. That’s when you could buy a crate of fruit for $2.00 so it was economical to can. We had a huge garden and grew our own vegetables and raspberries. She’d also make different kinds of jams and jellies and syrups. She was a marvelous cook and a wonderful mother, an overall kind and gentle woman.

My basement is now two rooms. A home gym took over the garage area and laundry room and I put a wall up between that and the food area. I needed to keep the food area secure as well as the stairs to the upper floor that was accessible from the garage. Nerve racking worrying about anyone getting in the house from the basement. Now my food is secure. Your basement area is about the size of my food area. I’m a prepper. There’s about 4 years of food down there. The attic has the storage for my excess stuff.

You did a great job on that map! You've accomplished quite a bit. In Canada we call them fruit cellars. We didn't have one in my parent's house (now over 100 yrs old).
