the best makeover videos are the low budget ones, because they are way more realistic for a lot of people.

My new method for conquering perfectionism is " Practice doing it Shitty"! Cass, you ROCK!

You saying “the home edit is not real.” Is what a lot of women need to hear. I use to set my organization expectations so high that when I wasn’t achieving home edit quality I just get frustrated and overwhelmed. You have motivated me to organize in a way that really is functional and not just for looks. Thank you for being a real person on the camera!

Please send her our thanks for allowing us to see this process for her, to teach us. THANK YOU so much Shawna and Cas

My heart literally hurt while watching this! This is exactly who I am and for the first time it feels like someone else understands how I think. Cass, your explanation of Shawna perfectly describes me. Please do more content like this and teach us how to make lasting change! I feel like this is more mental/emotional health based than simple organizing. So many people need your help.🤗💕

Your serendipity story touched a heart string - my late daughter bought a special one of a kind backpack at a market and became friends with the girl who made it. After she passed away the backpack went to an op shop, where it was bought by another girl, who then went home and made a video showing off her op shop finds. In the mean time the girl who made the bag asked me if I still had it, and even called the opshop in the hopes that it was still there. Then a friend of her saw the video on social media, recognised the backpack and was able to connect the maker and the new owner. The cute bag was reunited with its maker, strengthening her special memories of my daughter and on top of that a new friendship was forged. I think my daughter would have absolutely loved the story that unfolded around the bag! 😊❤❤❤

Cass is diabolical - “I don’t want you to fold those until I come back. Just for fun.” 😮

I actually cried during this one. I am so happy you were able to help her with this makeover. So perfect! I hope she is able to find joy in going to her office to work now, and more peace in her life. Serendipitis moment: I was completely broke after 11 months of unemployment and somehow got "recruited" to join a quilting group at my new church. The ladies were so nice, but at one of the meetings on an already emotionally rough day, we were all asked to cut fabric at home to bring to the next meeting. That day I had $400 to my name, and rent was going to be due in a few days at $429. I got into my car after the quilting meeting and just started bawling and sobbing about how I didn't even have enough money to buy a pair of scissors. I sat in the driver's seat of my $400 beater car and burried my face in my hands and heard a "thump" sound. I looked behind me and saw that a pair of scissors had fallen out of somewhere deep inside the driver's seat and landed in the back seat. I burst out laughing and things have been looking better ever since 😁 To this day, I have no idea where those scissors came from. I asked the previous owner if they were hers. They weren't hers, nor did they belong to the owner before her. They may have belonged to the bull rider who owned the car before that owner, but I guess we'll never know 😆

Love this! Please do more real life low budget makeovers for tiny spaces. They are inspiring for me. Thank you! ❤

Massive change for no money! This was better than the Home Edit because it feels real and attainable.

I cried when y'all started crying. I know how hard it is to work and raise children on your own. She 100% needed this makeover.

Her closet and some of her clothes, it was me! Her craft room, mine! The piles to sort later, me! Thank you, both of you. I'm getting started today! It was beautiful! And I call those serendipitous moments a Godwink! ❤

Serendipity follows when you are doing something with your life that you were meant to do. Loved this transformation!

Cass, I cannot even begin to express my appreciation for the help that you gave in this video! I can now officially say that I AM a BEE!!! I had a custom couture wedding gown business, also making custom garments for myself and many clients for over 40 years which I operated in the homes I have lived in. My current home is very small and limited which makes it challenging to manage a workable space and storing the many fabrics I have! The Pandemic put an end to that business. Yet, I still continue to sew my own clothing. Despite my attempts to "de-stash" my fabrics, unused patterns and sewing notions and hauling them off to charity, I AM STILL drowning! I saw myself in Seana today and I became really emotional! Thank You Cass for being so inspiring! Wishing you were here in person to help me! Since you are not, I'll try to work this out and hope to make progress as best as I possibly can 🙂

Letting go of unrealistic expectations is the biggest thing a person can do to help themselves. On the other hand, I threw out three old pairs of shoes this morning! Another amazing transformation, Cas!

That serendipity is what I call a “God wink!”❤😊

I LOVE how you were able to be both supportive and challenging - you are so skilled with understanding what people need and how they feel. Big hug to you xxx

I don't usually comment, but I had to say what a kind, lovely person you really are, Cass! This was one of my favorite makeovers that you have ever done. Love it, and love your content!💝

Thanks for understanding the paralysis of perfectionism! Cas +Joe=Dream Team!❤

I fold while I'm watching a movie. I use commercial time to do small things, it's like a timer. What a great space, you are amazing!

Cass, you're not only a wonderful human and fabulous organizer, you're also a really good decorator! The decor in the office looks amazing!!

"You're working soooo hard and still drowning." That brought tears to my eyes because it is how I feel every day. This video was so needed and so freeing. Thank you both ❤

You gave her a happy space and peace of mind. What a blessing you are Cas!👏👏👏

4:18 "Practice doing it sh!tty" Wow I swear this is the best piece of advice you've given that I somehow have managed to latch onto. For three days now I've just been working at decluttering a little each day and instead of getting mired in the details just getting things rolling. It works!

Your stories about serendipity was my favorite. 🥰 Also, as you said “The Home Edit is a lie! Your house doesn’t look like that,” I had just been sorting my batteries into an acrylic divider tray and I rebelliously said in my mind “Yes it does!!!! … Well this battery drawer does.” 😂😂🧡

It is so nice to visit your channel, you are non threatening during this process. What a joy. Love those God Winks!!!!

Cass is so real and puts it in perspective for those of us who are perfectionist. “Practice doing it shitty!” Is valuable advice

I loved this transformation. Lots of nuggets of wisdom about unrealistic expectations, doing it shitty, third eye perspective and all for a reasonable price. I think I’m ready for my Cass makeover!

I recently did a major decluttering. Craft projects I will never do. I purged dresses I haven't wore in years and that gave me so much space in my closet. When done I had a car load.

OK we used to have a sweet dog. She had been passed from home to home and we were hoping to be her forever home. One day though she started to become aggressive to my toddler. We tried training her but nothing worked, and eventually she snapped at my toddler. Being a bigger dog, we realized how dangerous that could be and we decided to rehome her to a child free home. I posted a picture of her online not listing her name or anything about her except her age and that she needed to go to a child free home. A woman messaged me, and asked me "is her name Ava?" Which it was, and I found out that this woman had our dog when she was a puppy and couldn't keep her due to living on a military base where the dog would often escape. But now, she was retired and getting ready to move out of state and she was just wondering what happened to Ava and missing her and she saw the post! When Ava saw her she was so happy and I didn't charge them a rehoming fee or anything, I was just so happy to see Ava happy.

I am this woman. I have so many piles, unfinished projects, broken things needing fixing. I'm a huge perfectionist learning to let go of expectations.

This looks so incredible!! I love that you worked with a small space. Could you please do more of these small room transformations?

Ok.....serendipity moment for me ....I got paint chips from Lowes to match some colors in my bedroom to do a painting......then I cleaned out the paint cupboard in the garage and found the exact color paints as on my paint chips🤗 I was stoked!

This channel has helped me explain my brain to my mother. She has never understood how my brain goes into must restructure it all into the "perfect system". It has helped our communication massively in this area. It even made her try to make better suggestions to get my brain to wrap around something so I can find ways to move forward.

That's a crazy story about the desk. I love it when things like that happens. It's like, for a (brief) moment, everything just fits perfectly and the world is a perfect place. ❤

Dear Cas, "the magical" is Fingerprint of GOD! He LOVES YOU and your generous investing into other's life! So HE pours HIS overflowing blessing upon your hand's work! What a great collab....That is how I understand this... ❤ BE BLESSED IN EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE - UBANDANTLY!!! PS: I enjoyed this episode so much - great inspirations.... A huge Thank You for You!!!

"Dip your toe in the crappy water" my new motto!😂😂thanx, Cass!

OMG! I’m a Bee?! I thought I was a Butterfly. This video is such a gem. I was crying at the transformation of the office too. Thank you Cass!

Oh man! I so relate to this lady. That is me to a T. Thank you, Seana, for putting yourself out there for us all to see. I am learning right along with you. Not being allowed to fold the clothes in the drawer! Aaagh!

You can tell a big difference in her. She deserved this makeover, and I'm glad you made it happen for her.

This was great. I so enjoy the lower budget make overs in general . It’s definitely more relatable and feels do-able.

Cass, your ability to offer wisdom from your own ladybug style into her bee paralisys of action is so powerful! Please make more videos helping other bugs as well. As a 100% hard-core cricket, I can't tell you how painful, stressful, and overwhelming it is to decluttler , to not pile but deal with stuff in a ladybug quick way, and to move and create good enough systems. I power through it of course I can I'm a cricket and can do anything but you can help us so much through the process. You helping us indentify and put into words what's the problem and more importantly your words echoing in my head how to move forward have changed my life for better. I am now able to ladybug it a bit more, and not get on my case of my partner who as a hard core lady bug used to drive me nuts. I set up ladybug bins systems because of him and they work. Please help us, other bugs, we need you!

She’s my identical twin. I’ve learned the “good enough” way of thinking instead of trying to be perfect. It takes a lot of practice but it absolutely helps! Therapy helps too lol. I love this episode because I have a craft room that I need to declutter to be able to do this same kind of work.

I love Cas and she's given me so much insight into myself! ❤ The biggest thing she's taught me: I embrace my beeness/cricketness. I would pull a laundry basket full of those clothes to fold while I watch a movie. WAY more enjoyable than just sitting there. I'd get up and do a happy dance while folding, and especially after! 😊 I love this new space for this sweet woman! It's such a joy to work in a clean, organized space. I'm so happy for her! Cas is just so great! ❤😊

Two rooms for $300!!!! Thanks for using what she already has! I love how real you are with her!

I don't call that serendipity, I call that God. You have favor Cas! God is blessing you for using your gifts to help others and stewarding them well. You're amazing!!!

Cass has changed so many lives,what an amazingly important person Cass is❤❤❤❤❤!

If she finds that the open closet is distracting for her bedroom being a sleep oasis (if she has any cricket tendency) a great way to simplify if visually is the ceiling mounted curtain rods IKEA carries and full length curtains. I used them in the basement at the bottom of my stairs so people coming in the back door didn’t see all the stuff in the shelving unit that was there along with the plumbing coming in and out of the house. It looks so much neater now but the freely gliding curtains pull easily and completely out of the way to give full visibility when needed and quickly and easily pull closed when you don’t want to see it.

Wow! I got teary eyed too! 😍This looks amazing! I need Cass to come to my house!

I think this has to be one of my favorite organizational videos of all time. First, for what it meant to the homeowner. I loved her response and what it meant to her. It showed that you really took what she liked into consideration. Next, because it wasn’t an over the top budget that most people don’t have. It was realistic and reusing everything she had with just a couple of add ins. Lastly, because of what you said about Home Edit. I think what they do is beautiful and I love clear bins but you’re right, it won’t last that way if it doesn’t suit the organizing style of the homeowner and how they work. Great job! I have learned so much from you.

Your voice is in my head with " I'd rather hold on to it so I can find the perfect place for it" Wow- I needed to hear this today! Thank you Cass, I always enjoy your videos. You have a very relatable connection along with a motivational and soothing voice! Appreciate all you do!

Cas, you are a beautiful person. You give gifts that so count! You’re a blessing❤️

Really beautiful makeover! The bottom half is busy to look at, but because the top is beautiful and minimal, it really does help you to feel more calm. It also raises your eyes up and gives a feeling of lightness and hope. I LOVED how you covered the messed up walls with beautiful decorations without it becoming too full. Excellent job!!

"You are working so hard but you are still drowning." 😭😭😭❤❤❤ Shawna, you deserve so much better.

I love how the "inhale/exhale wall art and plants cover up wall scuffs and really add style. This is one of my favorites of your makeoverd!

Hey Cas, there is nothing serendipitous about all of the things you described- you are changing people's lives-everywhere. You are doing the right things and the right things are happening. You go girl- you are changing my life too❤️

Thanks for this video today. Im struggling too and the struggle is real. I wanted to also tell you, I've shared your mom's daffodil bulb stir fry story with my 88 yr old mom, sister, husband and daughter. Their reactions were the same as mine. Explosive laughter. I always stay to the end because I never know what fun thing you're gonna share! Serendipity - desk story! God knews her heart needed that desk! ❤

Bess you for helping her with this “self care.” So sweet. 😊

This is the best thing I’ve seen all week! 😭❤. This Mom deserves a beautiful space and retreat. Way to go Cas! Love those little God wink 😉 moments (the desk)!

Cas, I can so relate to this! Also, your serendipitous moments are a perfect example to me of living with the highest intentions, open to all possibilities and things flowing in Divine order! I love your stories and I love when things flow like this! 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love these makeovers so much. Please keep doing them Cas :)) These two rooms look so good and function for Seana which is the most important thing. Love that the sister got to have her brother's old desk, so sweet.

Omg her craft room turned out so cute. She got rid of so much stuff. She did amazing. Her bedroom looks amazing as well. Loved how you put her clothes as a floating closet. Great video as always!

It amazes me how just $300 can turn someone's life around. Working so hard, ladies sometimes feel undervalued and have no time to do things like this; We are programed that we have to be Superwomen. But, at the end, this lady felt how right it was!❤❤

Not me crying along with you both 😭😭 Wonderful transformation and so well deserved, what a hard working mama!

Btw, I love your big heart Cass and beautiful personality that makes everything you try to teach us painless. You’re so amazingly sweet and really have a way of removing so much stress associated with decluttering, and/or organizing. You always keep us grounded and never put expectations that are out of reach, but rather ones that are for todays moms/women! Thanks for keeping it real!❤

It was once explained to me like this: You are busy scrubbing and buffing the toaster spotless while there's a weeks worth of dishes in the sink! 😢 What an amazing transformation! I love it!

Okay, that bakers rack idea is genius and would completely solve several things I would love to have more streamlined in my home! Love how her office turned out!

Cas! It is so incredibly kind of you to volunteer to help people transform their homes! I’m not a crier but this video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for being (as you say) amazeballs!!

Thank you Cas! The serendipity of this is the timing of this video. I really needed this today! I Love your videos So much!! This transformation was perfect and so affordable!!😮❤

I Think serendipity is always present and happening. It just needs to be noticed and we need to be grateful for it.

WOW! That blue blouse is a PERFECT top for you... the color, the neckline, the sleeves... SO pretty and slenderizing!!!

All. The. Time. Life is so beautiful and I recognize God’s hand in all of it! 💞

Amazing transformation! I'm so happy for her! You changed her life!

Serendipity - love it! Those things that you just described are so fun! We call them “God-things” 😀 He is in all things, huge and tiny details…. And it’s So Fun when He shows us how He cares and provides. 🙌🏼✝️🙏🏽💜

Ok- first let me say I LOVE to watch your videos! But this final reveal had me teary-eyed. It was so heartwarming ❤

I'm a Bee too, so I related to a lot of what happened in the video. However I have been far more brutal with letting go of things I no longer use. I'm 70 and don't want my children to have to deal with it when I die. Plus I live in a 924 square foot house, which is way less house than I used to have. I've noticed that people relate to me like I can take on their projects to fix (darning socks or mending clothes or fixing broken furniture). So I have a new thing I need to do. Say no when I need to say no. If I do their stuff, I can't complete my own projects or finish all my own decluttering. I have had a plan for my craft/office room that is similar to this setup. Seeing it has given me ambition to complete it. I don't know what it will cost but $300 would be a good budget for me as well. Thanks for all that you do Cas, it's very helpful.

That’s so incredibly wonderful. 😅 I think you’re so talented in decluttering and reorganizing what’s useful in the here and now. Wow! I’m definitely inspired. 🙏♥️🏖⭐️

I love these room makeovers! Seana was so moved when she saw it and it was so cool to see! Great job, Cas! ❤

This is by far my most favorite decluttering makeover because I work from my home, too! It really hit me when you said it doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to get done. Love you so much!!! 💖💖💖

This is just what I needed to let go of things and to remodel my work space. Regarding the end of your video. I was probably 2 years already living in my current home, when we got to meet the wife of my husband’s coworker. After a few minutes of the conversation we found out she grew up in this neighborhood and her best friend use to live in my current home. She immediately contacted her friend to let her know as her father had passed away a couple of months and they made so many memories in my home. A few months after, they came to visit and told so many fun stories. She cried as she remembered her dad when they lived here! It feels so nice that I was able to make someone happy just by letting them come in to home! God is good!

I heard a person say in her culture, it is bad luck to keep broken things. So that instantly gave me permission forever more taking that one category off my mind in negotiating. As soon as something isn’t fixable right then in the next 15 minutes, it’s out! ✅ I will verbally say it out loud as I toss the item: “We don’t keep broken things!”

Amazing transformations! I didn’t cry with you-I just had something in my eye!!! ❤

Throw out “perfect” is inspirational. Heading for my piles ! Thank you 🙏

I can relate so much to this - needed this right now. I'm a Cricket who organizes family spaces like a Bee. I'm still working on finishing the final parts of my paperwork/memento declutter (piles!) and find myself stuck a lot due to this same kind of perfectionist thinking. Thanks for the reminders!

This was SOOOO INSPIRING!!! I totally relate to Seana and the perfectionism and piles. I also am chanting to myself the motto from your podcast: GETMO!!! Amazing job, Cass!!! Thank you for sharing all of this. I’m learning so much and you have made a positive impact in my life. ❤

So well done! I’m so grateful for your insights. As a perfectionist, I’ve seen these same traits in my decluttering and organizing, too. But I use Dana’s “better is good” mantra and it stops my brain from spinning. Yay for a fresh start! P.S. I love the shirt and necklace you wore on day 1!

I cried with Shawna and Cass. I believed Shawna when she said this is what I needed. ❤❤❤ Get help for your anxiety 🙏🙏🙏

I love the way you gave the room a different look by moving items to a different wall. You definitely have given me new ideas how to set up my “She Room”! Thanks for all you do & keep those videos coming,❤️❤️

I love the gifts you bring…joy, vision, help to those who are drowning.

What an amazing transformation, thanks for your work Cas and for sharing these amazing tips and stories. Been watching your videos for years, thanks for being you!

I feel Shawna's exhaustion and drive to succeed. Good job Cass. Lifechanging.

Those serendipitous moments are God winks! He cares about every detail and He uses you, Cas, to change lives! He loves you and what you do for other others and so do I!!🌹🌺 ❤️

This is exactly the content I am here for! Great video!! 🐞❤🐝

I haven't taken the test yet, but I must be the type that needs to see everything because those closed cabinets are stressing me out and it's not even my space!

The desk story in the end just gives me goosebumps. So perfect in timing. Love your videos.

This was so awesome to watch!! I loved seeing her reaction during the reveals!!! Definitely a huge gentle nudge to declutter, let go and organize☺️ Thank you so much!!!

Love this video. So well done! Cass does rock!

Thank you for this video now I know I'm a bee 🐝 also I really loved the room and how it turned out

I want to thank you so much for this video Cas. The timing couldn't have been more perfect! I'm struggling with the exact same issues and am in the middle of trying to declutter so we can take pics of our home to put it on the market. I'm so overwhelmed with stuff as I too am a crafter who sees every scrap as a potential project. I can't tell you how much I relate to your client and how much I long to have a less cluttered home with a lot less stuff. You are amazing and so much more than an organizer. You're also a psychologist!! May God bless you always as you share your gift of organizing with the world!! I just love you!!!

This was soooo real!! It wasn’t even a total makeover and instead it was a “let’s move everything around and pray it fits” (it did!). Yet, it looks like a total room makeover. I was thinking she could put in a collapsible table against the wall where the old closet system was. She would have a great work space that literally disappears when not needed. This video allows us to see beyond our limits. I remember in one of the all-day declutter sessions, you made a comment about socks…get all the same socks, don’t fold, wrap into a ball, etc. and use what you already have. I got rid of all my old socks (to my daughter), bought new…all the same color and used an old shoebox inside my drawer. Works perfectly!! Now, I have these storage bins…in the corner of my bedroom…that is the “Bee” in me (I’m a dominant Ladybug) as I will get to it later…so I’ve put it on the calendar for next week!
