Today was the BIGGEST day of change for Tracy's home. If you're new to the series, Tracy's previous closets were broken and would often fall on her while sleeping. The most recent fall being, "The Great Closet Collapse of December." While I don't recommend buying anything until after the During, we both agreed that this was an essential next step for our work together (especially since these are THE ONLY closets in the entire house). Today is only the rough organization. As we work more together we will continue fine tuning the organization so that it fits her daily life and so that we can categorize things together to make the second pass of decluttering more effective. Enjoy the episode and find her previous episodes here ➡ ua-cam.com/video/dk6R6WHgD0I/v-deo.html
Wow! Tracy is SLAYING it!!! It’s almost unbelievable to think how far Tracy has come since the first shoe organisation day. Life changing 😍🥰
I really wish people would take note of the intro, finishing with "please comment with kindness". Too many judgemental comments with nothing of value to add to this wonderful series. Go Tracy and April, you're both doing a fantastic job!
Hi there
I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST I'm invested ❤😂
Me too! 😅🥰
🥰😘
Yess😍
I have been waiting all week! Well done Tracy
I have these closets , they are the best
No matter where you are on the clutter scale this series has something of value for you. Listening to the 'stories' shows you how you need to listen without judgement as a person clears through the things in their life! Props to boyfriend for staying calm as the organization unfolds around him!
I love how excited she is to have everything together and keeps mentioning that once it's in one place she may be downsizing more. I like your gentle methods and having the homeowners help.
Wow, the closet room is going to be life changing for Tracy. She is already so creative. She’ll now have all her clothing options at her fingertips every morning - a fashion creativity dream!! So happy for her! 😊
I hate inefficient furniture so much because you're so much less likely to open a drawer if it sticks or is otherwise fiddly. I'm so happy for Tracy and the progress looks fantastic!
Please tell me you are going to do many other spaces in Tracy’s home, there is so much potential here!
Jaw dropping from extreme overwhelm to clinically calm.
Go Tracey!
you absolutely need to give her labels - as someone who feels like tracy - i know it wouldnt stay that way without labels
Yes! I was thinking the same thing! 😁
Labels are awesome ❤
WOW!! What a difference. Tracey looks so happy. Thoroughly enjoying watching the transformation 😊
Even her green top said she was feeling good! 💚
Me too!! Feels incredible to watch it all unfold and so satisfying especially because you know how good it will make them feel ☺️
I said this before but April is saving the world 1 closet at the time
Jackson is a treasure
love watching ❤
I love videos with Tracy and Dani! Simply the best!! Thank you so much for helping them!!!
I love how Tracy was thinking through how she functions with her stuff. The rummage box for fanny packs, the loungewear unfolded drawer. Those are the details that make this a realistic, sustainable organization.
I am so happy for Tracy's progress. I retired from IKEA and have used PAX wardrobes in every house and apartment I have lived in. I have had many configurations and the wire pull out drawers are the best for organization. I have two wide wardrobes and one narrow one where I have 5 wire baskets high in the bottom of each. Except for where hanging shirts, blouses, pants, skirts, dresses, jackets and coats, I put all under-garments, socks, shorts, loungewear, active-wear, t-shirts and jeans in the drawers. I put sweaters, shoes and purses in the shelves above and have two additional closets for my hanging clothes. I Marie Kondo fold everything and it has been my dream organization method. If you fold consistently, you always see everything you own. I still do a spring/summer, fall/winter switch. Each time I switch, I declutter what was not worn or no longer fits. It is another step in the process, however, if eventually Tracy can turn her hangers backwards and re-evaluate seasonally, she may be able to use this method to let go of even more things that she does not wear. Congrats to you both for all that you have accomplished.
Can't put onto words how much I am enjoying the organisation phase ❤🎉
Fantastic job ladies, Tracey if you could further downsize and give your boyfriend the end IKEA wardrobe and totally get ride of the mismatched cupboards that would open that room so beautifully and maybe add a nice rug and full length mirror on the wall with nice soft lighting and candles and plants what a siren room you would have 👍🏼❤️😉🇨🇦
The speed at which Tracy is accomplishing this massive transformation is nothing short of miraculous.
Tracy will find her way, doing what is right for HER & HER PARTNER, under her own steam, with April's expert guidance.
No one else need concern themselves with her next steps. Why bring your own stuff into this process? None of you knows a single thing that can be of any help, because you are not there!!!
I give April ALL THE FLOWERS 🎉🎉🎉 for her delicate yet firm approach, her sensitivity and wisdom, and her joyful celebration of each tiny step forward.
My GOODNESS you guys! Do you not see how incredibly fast this is going?
This is like giving advice to Michaelangelo before he's cut into the first layer of the marble! He KNEW that the marble would tell him what the sculpture would become.
Be patient and LET TRACY & APRIL do the amazing job they are so very capable of!!!
Blessings to all... But really! Advice has not been requested!!! And it obviously is not needed!
❤❤❤
Cannot wait for the next video. This is the first time I feel like I want to go back to the first episode and watch all over again because I am THAT inspired by how this is moving forward!
~A woman who once had enough clothing to fill four overstuffed closets, now down to ONE!!!
Agreed I need in the kindest way. I’m going to say that is more than a person needs in 10 lifetimes and hopefully she’ll start to feel the ability to let some of it go.
She's positively glowing! It's so lovely to see her transform and become more confident in her ability
Yes, this!!!
This is huge for her and her partner. This means so much to HIM that he was afraid to have her do things without your input. What a weight this will be off both their shoulders. Glad you helped her make the executive decision about the old sweatpants. Wondering if the upper baskets (on top of the new closet) will eventually be labeled? Love seeing more space being created in the bedroom.
LOVE the closets! Good pick, Tracy!
They are great. I’m planning on using Pax closets in my new house build
Wow! I love when people get new hangers and big storage to replace 500 little storage thingies. This one has been amazing! I felt like I couldn't sleep until I saw her clothes in the new closet!! ❤ you need to get 100k subscribers!!!
I love Tracy's energy, she is so bright and radiates happiness and joy! I'm so excited for her to be able to have a wardrobe set up so she can truely enjoy the creative process of getting dressed and feeling her best and enjoy all her beautiful pieces she has collected that bring her so much joy without the stress of having to rummage through piles to find them!
Keep up the wonderful energy Tracy!! You've got this! You have come so far already and it will just keep getting better!! ❤️❤️❤️
I couldn't wait for today episode! Tracy has come a long way. She seems less anxious than she was in her first couple of videos. She seems to be more in control of her clothes instead of them having control over her. I applaud her cause I'm in the same situation with my closest, hell my house since my husband died year and half ago, and my sister moved in. 😢 Tracy, you, my friend, are awesome! As a southern woman say, I am proud for you. 😊 ❤
I'm glad you had something inspiring to watch that you related to.
Sounds like an incredibly tough situation to be in and I hope that with time you will be able to find solutions like Tracy.
It does definitely take time and energy to get things functional but just keep doing your best! I really hope things slowly get easier for you. Just stick to the small wins, the baby steps and just keep going! You've got this, no matter what it is like right now and how hard it is, it will get better ❤
Sending you so much love, my lady. ❤❤❤
April you are definitely the best at what you do out there . Tracey what a fantastic person you are. It has been great and informative to watch this journey. Great content . Thank you to both of you.
I am honestly so surprised.. I did not think Tracy would fit all her clothes in one spot. Those ikea closets are amazing, I use the elfa system from the container store but I almost like the ikea ones better.
Tracy you rock it girl! Love love love the closets! Suggestion: put labels on the lips of all the drawers for all the various rows. I find the more I have labeled it is easier for me to put things back away. Also maybe hang sheets on the inside of the last cabinet that lists all the items in the top storage bins. Everything looks fantastic!!! April when are you coming to my house!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I admire all the hard work involved with this, but I can't help wonder why one little person needs so many clothes? I think Tracy could realistically get rid of half those clothes and still have too much. I'm happy for her that she is getting organized. I'm mesmerized by this series...I can't look away! lol!
I have loved watching Tracy’s journey ❤
I can imagine her in a couple of years with a slightly smaller & really streamlined wardrobe
Just AMAZING. Just WOW. On so many levels!! So much work and so much relief! Bravo to both of you! ❤
Tracy, I think you have inspired me to have more beautiful clothes and enjoy them, I was a minimalist in this regard and after watching your videos I realized how much joy I miss having a small capsule wardrobe. I wish you to take control of your space and open the ways for abundance and joy to flow. I hope this brings many new and exciting things into your life!
A big well done Tracy 😊 I have loved watching your decluttering journey alongside doing my own. Wishing you much happiness x 🥰
🤩 There's a time to use what you've already got and then there's a time to save your sanity and relationship and invest in what will work best.
Tracy is doing such an incredible job and seeing her full of energy and excitement as she feels like she's getting control over her stuff is a cure for my depression. Amazing work.
Tracy, you are a beautiful soul! I love how you remember what you have and the memories associated. You are calming the chaos!!!
I know I'm late to the commenting party but I wanted to say this is a great example of getting to know someone and building trust before you push them. April only gave pushback on the one pair of sweats and only in this episode. It's been multiple days of teaching and trusting the process to get to this point. I think you're great at what you do. ❤
Hello Christinen
I do feel like Tracy’s done really well! And I’m sure she’ll keep curating now it’s all in a better storage place. Also April, I love how you edited this, really skilfully done
I hope seeing how many clothes you have will start you on a process of eliminating more. For myself it made me feel free and better able to think.
My favorite phase! I need the next episode desperately haha
Same!!!
Loving this series so much, the progress is ✨impeccable✨ I find it aspirational how Tracy loves and wears so many pieces of clothing. I barely leave my apartment enough to warrant one wardrobe 😅 still keeping my fingers crossed for a ruthless second purge in our future, Tracy we support you❤
I´m looking forward to see the kitchen declutter. I think thats going to be very satisfying
Me too!!!
Bravo Tracy!! 👏 Incredible work by everyone. So great to see it all come together, and bring calmness to their lives. Thanks for sharing the journey!
Hello caitlin
I must say that I am overwhelmed -not to take away from Traci’s awesome efforts to organize.
Hello Valentina
Wow! I absolutely love the change. You two are teaching us so much in this process. Patience, humor, creative thinking, perseverance ……..
Awesome!
I really loved your comment and agree wholeheartedly!
Those wardrobes are fantastic……now she has room for a whole new wall of them too….❤The other side could be show storage too. Kudos to you Tracey…..I so hope this declutter is a road to your new journey.
Really really happy for tracy ... I can feel the happiness and satisfaction that tracy is feeling ❤❤ more power to you
Wow the transformation is unbelievable. I’ve closet envy with all the space for the clothes. Tracy take a bow 🙇♀️ and be very proud of yourself. April you are a wonderful teacher, so patient, kind, encouraging, thoughtful and generous. Have a wonderful week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️🙇♀️👏👏💪👍🙏💐
Wow! What a huge difference it makes for their house to have a designated dressing room. The bedroom already seems so much more calm and breathable with less furniture.
It really does, I can't wait to see what they will do with the bedroom in future after everything has a home 😊
Well done April. In ❤ with the Pax wardrobe. What a great start on your decluttering and organizing journey Tracy. 👍🏼🇨🇦🫶🏻
You ladies are doing great! Honestly all of those clothes would stress me out. But everyone is different and have their passions. Mine is makeup and I’m trying to stay under control.
All of the clothes make me feel suffocated. I would have to downsize so that nothing is high up and the drawers are reduced by 1/2..Seeing April's things is the catalyst to downsize my things. Off site climate controlled storage in Minneapolis is inexpensive. ($12 for a 5'x5' with a 4ft high brace on each side topped with a 3/4" piece of plywood makes a 2 level space.) Once things are out of my house it allows for clarity/calmness. Using clear totes 10"×13" 18" deep is helpful. Not too heavy..easy to stack. Too small for some kitchen extras like can pans..artwork/photos in frames..
I'm looking at using smaller cookie sheets/cake pans. Currently, I store those things in my oven Since I use my dishwasher as a cupboard for my dishes maybe I can down size that space enough to keep my pizza pan, cake pan, new small cookie sheets?
Sooo excited for this new big change for Tracy!!!!❤🎉🎉❤The wardrobes are so great!!! And I looooove the drawers!!
I am so excited to see how everything is working so well!
When Tracy continues to cull items now that she can see them all, she will continue to stretch those decluttering muscles!
And, when she loses more weight and downsizes her wardrobe even more, she will have even more space than imagined!
Hopefully she will move her boyfriend's clothes in her closets! Then, they can move his closets out and put his table that he loves back in.
The room will be very useful in many ways! And, this investment is going to change their lives more than just offering more clothing storage!
This transformation is one that just keeps giving! I so happy for what has been accomplished. And, I'm anticipating the many blessings that will come from letting go and being free and having space in their minds and hearts as well to allow their relationship to be more abundant!
closets look and great and the reading corner will be a sweet spot
Absolutely incredible, go ahead Tracy! April your stamina is admirable! You have kept such positive energy to sustain both yourself and Tracy, so good
The evolution of Tracy's spdxe is genuinely impressive. I saw a lot of people saying she's not been getting rid of enough and that the great unhoard was a way to get out if really getting rid of the excess. These comments are deeply unfair: people struggling with a lack of organisation easily accumulate things and decision fatigue is very real. Also she's got a teaser on insta for the great unhoard, which is a very positive sign she's starting to tackle it. She seems much happier and calmer, and decisions come to her a lot more easily now. Also, that apple green jumper really suits her. Well done on your journey, Tracy!
Omgosh Tracy, I'm so proud of you. 🎉
Hello jo
Ahhh I'm so happy that it's on the up now! Tracy and her boyfriend can get to their clothes and that's HUGE! Tracy has done a fantastic job, I'm so happy she was able to keep going and had you to help her!
I am such a wooden hanger lover, they really do feel luxurious ❤
Incredible!!! 😮😮😮
What a difference the wardrobes made.
I'd invest in getting a couple more for your boyfriend, too 😏
Hello simone
Great job ladies! I would challenge Tracy to go through each drawer and each hanging space and declutter two more items from each space to give yourself a little more room.
What amazing Wardrobe and storage boxes!!!! She should invest in 3 for her partner too. Or 2 for him and one for shoes!! The Yellow chair could be in the bedroom with a lamp. Books maybe in the living room if there is space. The place where the shoes are could be their office. and with shelves for the books :)
Great ideas. I want to see that yellow chair get a lot of use / love. 💛
Just noticed that where the shoes are right now is actually their entrance. It could indeed have a desk for an office, not sure if they like the idea especially living in Japan where people remove their shoes by the entrance.
@@alamedadanceparty I absolutely love the chair! It would be a very sexy touch in her bedroom! She could just have a cup of coffee in the morning!
That green looks so good on Tracy!
Great job on the organization and the reading nook. Where are all the items for the great unhoard? It seems like they may work their way back into the room. Although Tracy loves these clothes, I was surprised to see so many of them balled up, wrinkled, dusty, covered in pet hair and carelessly stored during the declutter. It looks better now but will it be maintained?
i love how the fashionista is now doing really good with sorting out closets ❤
Wow well done- love it.
Tracy is a sweetie.
Keep up the good work.
Take care❤
I enjoy your videos very much, April. I am from San Angelo and I met your mother this morning!!! By coincidence, we work in the same building! I am a HUGE fan. Your mother is delightful. Just wanted to say hello. 😊
Hello jeannine
This new closet will be a game changer for Tracy when she is styling her outfits! She is finally able to see everything and not have to spend an hour digging for one specific item. I can't wait to see you guys organize it!
This one made the biggest difference!! All the visual clutter being behind the wardrobe doors now calms everything so much! You can really start to see the vision, Tracey did so well!
I really like the modular concept of these wardrobes - and I'm so impressed with the progress Tracy is making!
Spotted "The Intelligent Investor"
I've listened to the audiobook many times
Its unbelievable and so impressive how much you have done together!! Tracy and her partner must feel such an INCREDIBLE difference and a lightness in the new space with functional storage and furniture!
I am so excited for what is to come for them and it will just keep getting better and better for them ☺️🥰
I'm so excited for Tracy!, she has done fantastic thus far. Can't wait for the next episode 😍
I have really been enjoying this continued series … it has been incredibly gratifying to watch all the progress and learn the process along the way !!!
Thank you for sharing 😃
Good closet space is important for any organization situation. Even if she gave away more than half of her clothes, having nowhere to store her wardrobe was a huge roadblock for her and probably was contributing to the clutter more than anything else. If you can't find what you have, oftentimes people end up with doubles and triples of stuff and I am sure that was a struggle for Tracy (I know it's been one for me before!) Glad to see she invested in some nice furniture for herself. Excited to see what comes next for her!
Thank you April....you are empowering people...in the most gentlest way.
Oh how you've changed both Tracy and Dani's lives....😀.
Tracy has come me so far....the closets look amazing 😀😀😀....what a fabulous walk in room....very well worth the investment 👍.
Can't wait for Sunday's next episode 👍.
Tracy, you are absolutely delightful… & I’m cheering for you every step of the way!!! 🎉
Just one thing from my experience. Drawers are sooo much better than baskets!! A bit more space, and the clothes behave better in them somehow ;D
Wow so many clothes and they fit so well in the closets, that is awesome
Yay Tracy! It looks so nice!
Hello Breena
Again I'll say that is a wonderful room and with that yellow chair in there for a reading nook! I'd spend most of my time right there! Peaceful! I can see Tracy is really enjoying this process....❤
Yes!! It is so cozy and sweet, I can't wait to see it all set up and decorated with plants, lighting etc.
Amazing! Can see so much effort went into this. Would love to see the next update.
As Tracy goes through / purges more and more of her clothes, one of the Pax wardrobes could be converted into a place for cleaning supplies, linen closet, etc. I think it could help to decrease the amount of space dedicated to clothing and get more things in the apartment into the storage closet! Given how deep and grand the storage is, it could be used for so many things! I would also put a rug in that room to help define the space.
Major accomplishment! LOVE, Love, love the walk in closet room, game changer. The new units are a wise investment. Tracy can use all the new ones, right side and boyfriend all the left side It's coming together, hopefully the bedroom can be finished decluttering, tidied up and a calm place for them.
Such a great job! It's so nice to see Jackson approve of the reading space's vibe too
I thought it was so cute that he instinctively wanted to sit and read there, that's a sign that it's a great reading corner already!
Wow what a transformation we'll done keep up the great work
I'm so invested in the process that I didn't even notice Your jacket lol 😂
Same hahahha
Tracy, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Tina, Al's wife
The net drawers are fab, I have them in mine….. I use plastic rectangular baskets in them to organise the stuff in them and have a hanging shelf on the rail for my bags. Also it sets me boundaries for what I can actually have 🤗. I also don’t give myself space anywhere else, so all my winter/summer is in one place and it’s rotated into the storage boxes in my wardrobe and the only things not in my wardrobe is footwear/jackets for the current. I have a shoe shelf with my jacket hooks for day to day, then a covered shoe rack for everything else. It’s amazing to see how far she’s come! Incredible progress 🤗🤗🤗
I am already excited to see, how Tracy will use her creativity to label all the boxes and drawers 🥰
Will she paint? Will she knit little snowflakes and jackets and scarves to attach to the boxes, and sundresses on the other side for summers turn? Who knows!!
Omg I love those closets 😮💛
If it were me I would move the slim bookshelf next to the other bookshelf so the closet door on that side doesn't hit the chair. But it may interfere with opening the main door to the room. Just an idea.
This looks so good and is inspiring me to clean. 😊
You guys are doing so good! Way to go Tracy and April! You make an awesome Space Maker team!
Just wanted to say thank you to Tracey for sharing this transformation. It’s so positive and inspiring
Such awesome clothes deserve a beautiful closet to hang in. Well done April and Tracy!
Amazing so much better it’s like a weight lifting off 😊
Love this series April. I’d watch you every day if you posted
I found your channel about a month ago and I have binge watched every episode!!! I love everything you do. Keep up the good work!
Tracy congrats on your progress this far 🎉🎉🎉 That new wardrobe is such a brilliant way for you to enjoy and play with your clothes. I hope you have so much more fun with them as a result!
April I'm going to be helping a family member who also has a massive clothing stash that's they're really attached to quite soon and I'm watching your calm and non-pushy way of helping, it's so good to see it in action.
Thanks both for allowing us to follow your story. Wishing you the very best for the next stages ❤
Wooowho! This is life changing!! You totally need to lable everything so it has a place and stays in it's place!!
This was so much fun to watch! I found myself smiling through the whole thing - I am so excited for Tracy as she continues this process 🎉
i got pax in all my bedrooms and they are amazing 11 years on still like new!!
This is so great! I love seeing how enthusiastic Tracy is, and also how you're both more comfortable with each other now (being comfortable enough to push back on the pilly trousers is a significant milestone 😁).
I am curious - why didn't you use labels for her storage boxes? Since you did have Dani label hers, and these clothing boxes are all identical and so a *lot* more likely to get mixed up (or at least they would be if it were me), I didn't know if it was because this was the first pass of organization, if labels were on order, if it was Tracy's call, or something else. Thanks to both of you for sharing this!
