    I miss Alejandra! She is Amazing at organizing! I still watch her videos after so many years!

    For such a small space it looks so pretty :) Just a tip for those that might not know: put the corner's of one side of the fitted sheet INTO the other and then you only have 1 elasticated side showing and fold as normal (hope that makes sense)

    I just happened to be doing laundry when I was watching the video. I had to laugh with you about folding fitted sheets. I had just folded one and it looked like a car wreck, but who really cares, when we can hide them in a basket. I love baskets, have them all over my office and sewing area to conceal the messes. Your videos are informative and fun to watch. Thanks

    Winning take-away: "Shop The House"!
    😮😍
    All the more reason to organize everything! I think part of the reason I like shopping is because things are organized in stores and easy to find and see and everything looks so pretty. It's crazy! I've bought way too many things that I already own just because I can't find it!

    My new favorite quote from your recent series: "Shop the house." So efficient! And really unleashes the latent creativity in trying to look at what you already have to repurpose it. I am delighted for more videos upcoming where you shop the house some more. Can you focus in a future video about your instincts for "dimensioning" - how do you stay aware of shelf dimensions and distance between them, then apply that to containers you come across to know they will work?

Been wanting a nice and neat look for the linen closet and this is just what I am looking for. Love the door hook tip. All of our doors are going to be replaced soon and now I can do this without damaging a new door or two. Can't wait to watch your other videos as this is my first to watch one from you.

    Someone may have already suggested this, but fold the fitted sheet as neatly as possible, & the same width as the flat sheet to fit into the wicker box. Use one of the pillowcases (put the other pillowcase in between the flat & fitted sheet) to slide the flat & fitted sheet into it, fold over the surrounded pillowcase edges, then you could sit that in those wicker boxes, keeping everything together & neat looking.

  • @Masontibetperu

    TY, once again for a useful how to video. The baskets are a fabulous idea for the sheets. Suggestion: When you discover a great deal on an organizing products post a short video clip and tell us where you found the item; how much (SKU) and how you plan on utilizing.

  • @juliashats7390
    @juliashats7390 11 років тому

    a really cool trick is putting all the bedding that is the same set into the pillow case of that set. that way each set is all together and you don't have to search for matching bedding...you can just pull out the pillow (and you can see which set it is based on the pillow) and its super easy! i love that trick. :)

    Fold the ends in to the center first, then fold in half. Go from there it will look almost like your flat sheets.

    I have been watching at least one of yours video a day for the last two weeks because I get inspiration with practical information at organizing. And I use the info on my small two room apartment with a small closet [I only have the one closet] and a small bathroom. And I have no income, so I am using what I have. Your videos are very practical and shows every day things that every one uses, both organizing tools and your "stuff" that you organize as well. So many organization videos that are on here show very large closets with an unspeakable amount of shoes, scarves, purses, jackets, jewelry, cloths, and other accessories. Only one of those I have several of and that is scarves, but that is only because I have made most of my scarves that I own; I crochet.

    @tinapadavano2848 11 років тому

    Heyy, great videos. I watch them all the time. I have a quick tip that I use in my closet with a family of four and 3 different sized beds, with endless sets of sheets. If you fold the fitted sheet, top sheet and one of the two pillow cases in a set and stack them in that order, you can slide them into the remaining pillow case and fold over the opening to keep them from getting mismatched. We then have them sorted on the shelves by size, king and twin on one shelf and queen on another.

We keep some in the garage, stack some in the linen cupboard and then I sell some on to family and friends. The car is always crammed full of toilet rolls every April hahaa (just thought id share that story !)

    @dr8nkw0t8r 4 роки тому

    I own two sets of sheets and pillow cases for each bed in the house. One set is on the bed, and I keep the extra set in a drawer in the bedside table, so it is ready to grab when it is time to change the sheets. One set takes up a small amount of space in a drawer. This means there is no sorting of sheets in a hall closet.
