Some influencers: Closet space should be organized! Some influencers: Closet space should be aesthetically pleasing! Me, in a 1905 farmhouse: y'all have closet space? 😂😂😂😂 (Seriously, closets are either small or non-existent in my house. We had to get an IKEA wardrobe just to store our vacuum and broom.) But yes, good job, Bonnie! ❤
Mine's an 1899 Victorian cottage, and I feel you!!! I've had to get very creative. Luckily someone built cabinets in the kitchen all the way up to the 9.5 foot ceiling. Since I'm 5'2" I use everything above the second shelf for long term storage. Makes for some surprising kitchen cabinet contents. 😂
Love watching your videos. I love to clean also. A couple of years ago my friend and neighbor moved to another state. Her home needed a good clean, some repair and painting. She had plans to move back as she moved to care for her ailing grandmother. She took many of her belongings but left a lot of furniture she had inherited at this home. She gave me the key to watch out for the property. After a while I called and ask her if I could clean and paint ( she had left paint she was planning to do herself). She said I had full range So I cleaned this large home, painted (including all the cabinets in kitchen and 2 bathrooms) hung curtains and decorated. I took pictures and sent to her. She absolutely loved it. I showed our neighbor the home and she loved it so much that her daughter then rented the home and is still there. My friend’s grandmother passed away and left her home to my friend who then stayed in Texas. It felt so good to do this for my friend. I am watching your Mira videos again and just want to say, don’t worry about your methods, they are fine my dad used to say there is more than one way to skin a cat One thing I do in cleaning an oven is make sure stove is off then the heating element can be removed by pulling straight out. I think on most stoves this can be done. It makes it easier. Sorry this is so long. Again love your videos 10:50
I love that what Mira didn't end up needing, gets passed on to you, and it works perfectly in its space. Glad you thought of that. Works much better than the bakers rack. I love the bakers rack. I hope you are utilizing it in another area of the home. Would be great anywhere in the house and even on a covered patio. I have a much larger version in my kitchen and love it. Final results look amazing.
Looks great so far. I would have loved to see the piles of what you decluttered. Us people who are obsessed with decluttering videos looooove to see what’s leaving 😂❤
Hope ye are having a fantastic holiday celebrating yer 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary. I’m very envious of a walk-in wardrobe, it’s beautiful. Looking forward to the next update. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍🙏💐
Omg. I am always forgetting words. I’m not sure if it’s Because of the dreaded menopause, getting older or something else. But it’s so frustrating. So beautiful lady don’t worry when you also have a “moment” ….because I am sure you are not alone. Stay strong, be kind to yourself lovely lady ❤ BTY my wardrobe is organised by colour,….
Bonnie -- the master of closet organization! 😃 Love that you showed us that it's okay to "re-organize" and make adjustments when you realized that something didn't quite work for you personally. 🤘
You inspired me to take a closer look at the contents of my very small closet. I recorded a video, trying to brag about having very little clothing. Then I realized I have at least five shirts I need to cut off the sleeves, so I can wear them, then throw away old raggedy shirts. Thank you for helping me!
Hope you're enjoying your trip on the Love Boat! Well deserved for both of you who have worked so hard to build a life together for the last 25 years!!!
Hello Beautiful Bonnie. I hope you are enjoying your cruise! RE: this video - I hate folding clothes so I hang up almost everything except underwear. I have the space to do this because I declutterred a ton of stuff after the first of the year.🎃😃🌍
I know it can be anxiety-inducing to show people your own closet and maybe your own “dust” but when you make disparaging comments about your own closet it makes some of the rest of us with messy closets feel sad and judged. Please show yourself more grace. ❤ Sending you love and a big hug. Please don’t let society get you down and make you think you are less than. We all need to build each other up and not tear ourselves down! Please stay kind. ❤ To yourself as well as to others.
Looks great Bonnie. I decluttered 4 bags of going out dresses and skirts to a charity last week. They still had the tags on as I've never worn them. I live in a rural place now and live in jeans and joggers. Happy anniversary. xx
Oh Bonnie, this is beautiful! My husband & I have so few clothes that it's almost sad lol, but there isn't a lot to store, good thing because we share a 6' reach-in closet. The container is not very big! Dana K White would be proud I think. Love this video, the cabinet you got from Mira is perfect and SO much better for the space.
I love to watch people organizing their closets! it gives me ideas! mine probably needs to be decluttered again.....but more than likely I won't! I have stuff that I wore to my kids weddings etc that I won't get rid of! anyway, I am sure that when you are finally finished with the project it will be beautiful! thanks for sharing! xoxo oh by the way, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! and many more❤
Great work! Love that u showed the diff phases of reorganizing ur stuff. Smart to see how something works then reevaluate 👍🏻👍🏻. Love all ur content regardless if it’s ur home or someone else’s!
Love the decluttering Bon. Every 7 months I have scheduled task that pops up that is labeled "How can I be a better minimalist, deliberate about my consuming?" and it is basically to motivate me to do stuff like this and get rid of things, so thanks for the inspiration. You are so great!
Prreach girl! Pockets is my decisive factor too! Never have been a girly girl with purses and handbags etc always used my pockets for that stuff. My sister did her best to convert me to a bag holding female but nah, only took them while I worked in an office to look more "office Professional" hahaha
I hope you’re having so much fun!!! The closet looks so beautiful! Very inspiring. And the reason you love soft clothes (in my opinion) is because of the Fibromyalgia. We are so aware of sharp stuff poking, tags scrapping, stiff material itching. Our skin is so sensitive to all of that. So soft, stretchy fabric with stretchy waistbands work best for us!
I'm autistic and have fibromyalgia too and there's only a handful of materials I can stand to wear or even touch. Clothes can be painful! 😅 I like cotton and viscose, and they can be blended with elastane, that's really about it! I don't even like to touch wool, even merino, just *cringe* 😂 Oh and all my tags are gone. I cut them out as soon as I put the new clothes away 😂 cannot stand tags at the back of the neck or the back of leggings.
@@frealafgb I don't have fibromyalgia, but I am austistic and I'm the same with the tags - they're gone the second I bring things home (or decide to keep them, if they're mail-order). I even have a special pair of curved scissors that I keep in my nightstand for the purpose.
@jlaurelc haha yes I have tiny scissors on hand too! I just don't understand why the clothing manufacturers insist on putting something so scratchy in the worst possible place. The only things I have where tags have survived are when they're soft and flexible and on the side so hip level. Usually those would only touch other clothes and wouldn't bother me
Great video! I keep a donation bag in my closet . I’m gradually thinning out what I don’t wear or need. Leggings and comfortable clothes….you’re after my own heart! Thank you 😊.
Oooooh, that's a great idea! I have a box by my front door, but that's a higher resistance setup. Just that tiny bit more work can make it "a thing" instead of an easy choice in the moment.
Hello friend!💜💜💜 I have officially been inspired to move a bookshelf into my closet and get some bins for my leggings and tanktops. I like how this turned out in the end. In my last declutter 3 mos ago i kept just ONE pair of jeans...i realize ive worn jeans 1x in the last 8 yrs 😂 since my last pregnancy Ive hated the feeling of jeans. If im not home in 2 piece pajamas, im always in leggings! And hoodies or tshirts. I also dont like hoodies with zippers anymore. I used to have a bunch from Aeropostale! My sensory issues have been exacerbated with pre-menopausal hormone changes. I look forward to your folding video😊 and i hope your trip has been amazing❤
I totally feel like my sensory issues have become worse in the last 3-5ish years. I do try to wear jeans (only stretchy ones) or non-leggings when I'm out with my husband because I know he's not a big fan of leggings and likes how I look in jeans. I know he is fine if I choose to wear leggings, but since I kind of suck at being affectionate or some of the other neurotypical expectations in our relationship, I try to accommodate some of those things he likes as a way to show him I care. But, yeah, comfort is my #1 priority now.😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp i have similar affection struggles in my relationship..its been this way even in prior relationships. So like you, i also find ways to make up for my lack of physical affection. Comfort above style for me these days🤟😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wpif you can find them, Italian dropped crotch jeans are perfect for this. No zippers, the dropped crotch allows for a bit of a tummy, and they are buttery soft and stretchy. Wish I could send a photo.
Wow what a beautiful big closet!!! I'm always so impressed with the US closets and pantries! It looks much better in your after photos - it must be easier to see what you have I can't fold or hang much stuff- I mostly throw things in a drawer or even wear things that have just come off the airer 😂 because I'm so bad at keeping clothes in order, also because I can never find things I like, I have a really minimal wardrobe. I think I'd struggle to maintain something beautifully organised like this - so I'm very impressed ❤
Something about closets brings out my crazy. I absolutely must have matching wood hangers and get unreasonably irritated if my poor husband uses a plastic one. And seeing non-white plastic hangers feel like fingers on a chalkboard to me! Anyway, thanks for the video, Bonnie, and sorry about the totally self-centred share!❤
When I am helping friends and family downside I do the donate 2 and keep 1. That way you are help yourself and other people! My nephews love doing it with toys. I also have had to have help with clothing banks and the feeling I got getting help is what motivates me to donate! 💜
Happy Saturday Blessings to you and thank you for always sharing your super sweet and super awesome videos they're a joy to watch 🪷🪷🤍🤍🤎🤎💚💚🧡🧡😁😁😎😎🆒🆒🥰🥰👍🏽👍🏽👋🏽👋🏽
That's also my new criteria for leggings, if they have pockets! I need to do a wardrobe clearout too 🙈 thanks for the inspiration 😄 I just love that you show us the process of trying systems and then when they don't work you change it and try something new. My current system isn't working for me but I actually don't know how to change it to a way that would work 😅 x
I've been catching up on some of your videos I've missed in the last three or so weeks and I noticed on one of them you (Stephanie) were wearing leggings very similar to mine with your phone right there in your pocket. They are just so comfortable AND functional! I'm loving catching up on your videos. You ladies and also Coline have been a lot of my body doubling today as I get back on top of things here since we just got back from our trip last night. I have SO MUCH to do, so I'm glad to have the company of friends as I catch up on it all.😊😘
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp the second you told me you could buy leggings with pockets, I bought some! 🤣 best purchase ever. How was your trip? I must have missed where you were? I'm rubbish at body doubling because I watch all you guys to procrastinate haha I have an essay due this week and then I really need to sort my house too 😅 you've got me itching to do my closet but also I'm just not there yet 🙈 x
@fifefreecleaning I have been on a Mediterranean cruise with my husband the last couple of weeks for our 25th anniversary. We had 10 different ports, including Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Spain. It was amazing to see all of those places, but I am so glad to be back and not around thousands of people.😵💫 I'm all peopled out for a little bit.😊
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp that sounds absolutely amazing! 😍 but also yes I can imagine your social battery must be looowww now 😅 enjoy being back in your own bed 🥰 x
😮😮😮 The tank top folding was a revelation almost as life-changing as the fitted sheets! I have a lot of tank tops, and the way I've been folding them leaves the straps? sleeves? all flopping around messily and I do not like it. 😛 I'm so glad you showed us this even though you changed your mind in the end!!!
Thank you for sharing because I truly need to work on my closet which is very small mine is not walk in and at the moment it’s cluttered I have decluttered it and got rid of a bunch of stuff but I still need to get rid of more I have bead board looking wallpaper I’m going to put up because I have old brown looking wall. My whole bedroom needs a makeover new floor and paint. Which I plan to do soon. If I could I would hire you to help me organize my closet and drawers but you live to far.
If you stack the shoe pairs (one on top of the other, upside down and toe heel reversed) you can fill more space vertically and open up shelf space for more storage 😊❤
I still can't get over the size of American walk on closets. A friend in the UK had one in a 1 bedroom apartment and changed it into a bedroom for 2 children. My 2 children share a small closet
I think the closet is about the same size, or maybe wider, as my work from home office 😂 (also UK) I think it would be so amazing to have that much space, would make it possibly easier to put away clean laundry as you can probably walk right in with a basket
i'm a big advocate for comfy clothes. why spend the day wearing something that's riding up or cutting into your skin or falling off constantly having to be readjusted. all about wearing what feels comfortable and you like~!
as someone who grew up as a female for nearly 25 years (i'm a transman now) i find that girls are constantly trying to fit themselves into smaller sizes out of guilt or just hope of being smaller. and always buying trendy things regardless of how it fits the body. when i started transitioning those types of clothes were the first to go. i no longer hold on to clothing that i may or may not fit into someday either. who needs that hanging over their head (or in the back of their closet)
Happy Anniversary. I love this video and you. You've always struck me as a person I could be friends with. I've already watched a few videos ahead and know your story and plan. Whatever you do I know you've tried so hard to help people. I want you to know that I've been through some stuff, financial failure, troubles in my marriage, child with mental health issues. I held on to my marriage, that was something I couldn't give up on. There is more but I want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sharing your faith. Without my belief in an almighty God that sees me, I wouldn't have made it through. Life hurts so many times but knowing that I have eternity to spend with my savior Jesus and anyone who chooses him, that keeps me going. ❤ please take care of yourself and family. I am praying for you all. ❤❤ No need to answer, I'm good just knowing you're on the road to a good place.
I have had to be very picky about the comments I respond to personally because there are so many. I just wanted you to know I read yours and I am so glad you shared what you did. Yes, I have faith there is light at the end of the tunnel and that there is always a purpose to our trials even if it takes years or a lifetime to see those, so I'm trying to regroup and remember that it's all part of a higher plan. Thanks again for sharing and for your support. 💖🙏
The closet is looking amazing! 🩷 It makes me want to do mine!😅 I’m sure Mira will really appreciate that something she let go is being put to great use. 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for the video! It was wonderful to see how you went through the stages of organizing. I too found out I liked my t shirts hanging instead of folding. It's the little things that matter. One of the things I struggle with is socks. Too many and I love cute socks and seem to collect them and then just don't want them gone until I wear them out. How do you store your socks?😀
Since I retired, I wear leggings, tshirts and long sleeve shirts. I did save some nicer work clothes but donated so much. It was hard because I thought of the money I spent.
I'm still on my 25th anniversary trip, so will only be able to respond to a few comments here and there. Thanks for understanding! ❤❤❤
Happy Anniversary 🎉
Don't respond to any ❤ your on your anniversary trip. Enjoy each moment. Don't let anyone take you from your trip ❤❤
Just my opinion but! Forget responses just enjoy!!
Love your closet.
@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp happy anniversary🍾🥂
I love that something Mira peeled away is now being used in your home to hold your beautifully folded things❤ Also Happy Anniversary!!
Some influencers: Closet space should be organized!
Some influencers: Closet space should be aesthetically pleasing!
Me, in a 1905 farmhouse: y'all have closet space? 😂😂😂😂
(Seriously, closets are either small or non-existent in my house. We had to get an IKEA wardrobe just to store our vacuum and broom.)
But yes, good job, Bonnie! ❤
Same in the UK! And since I live in London, some of these closets are bigger than my previous rented studio apartment!!!
😂
Mine's an 1899 Victorian cottage, and I feel you!!! I've had to get very creative. Luckily someone built cabinets in the kitchen all the way up to the 9.5 foot ceiling. Since I'm 5'2" I use everything above the second shelf for long term storage. Makes for some surprising kitchen cabinet contents. 😂
@@jlaurelcI so feel ya on the 5’2” thing! 🙃
Man, I love organizing. I can never get enough of it. Great dopamine rush! Nice job on your closet, Bonnie. 💖
Love watching your videos. I love to clean also. A couple of years ago my friend and neighbor moved to another state. Her home needed a good clean, some repair and painting. She had plans to move back as she moved to care for her ailing grandmother. She took many of her belongings but left a lot of furniture she had inherited at this home.

I think on most stoves this can be done. It makes it easier. Sorry this is so long. Again love your videos 10:50
Decluttering is a wonderful way of making up space in our home AND mind! By the way, I love the shirt you are wearing! 😻💝
Aw, thank you, Coline. 💖
I love that what Mira didn't end up needing, gets passed on to you, and it works perfectly in its space. Glad you thought of that. Works much better than the bakers rack. I love the bakers rack. I hope you are utilizing it in another area of the home. Would be great anywhere in the house and even on a covered patio. I have a much larger version in my kitchen and love it. Final results look amazing.
I would love to see more folding techniques. The sheets are fun, but now I need to see clothes. 😂 Enjoy your trip!! ❤
You have a beautiful heart, and a calming soothing voice.GOD bless you for what you do❤
Love seeing you working on your own home and would like to see how you fold t-shirts, long sleeved and short!
Pockets are a Must! That’s my deciding factor too!
Looks great so far. I would have loved to see the piles of what you decluttered. Us people who are obsessed with decluttering videos looooove to see what’s leaving 😂❤
Oh my goodness, thank you for the reminder! I often do that when working on someone else's home, but forgot to do that here.😋
I love your bloops. Baker’s Rack. Been trying to be sure to get on and like.
Haha...well, I'm sure there will be many more to look forward to.😉😊 Thank you, Sue!

Oh, that's smart! The perfect shape!
Me too!

Looks great Bonnie. I decluttered 4 bags of going out dresses and skirts to a charity last week. They still had the tags on as I've never worn them. I live in a rural place now and live in jeans and joggers. Happy anniversary. xx
Yay!! Love to see you go through your own closet organizing! I’m loving these ones, Bonnie! ❤Enjiy your trip & no need to respond. Just enjoy! 🎉
Nice job! I’ve been thinking about maybe hanging my t-shirts as well, it would be easier to choose. We’ll see.

Hook on the rack on back of my closet door.
Enjoy your trip! I enjoyed the video!❤👍🏼

Just got back from my trip last night, so after I catch up on a few things, I will be working on those laundry folding videos.😊

I need to do a wardrobe clearout too 🙈 thanks for the inspiration 😄 I just love that you show us the process of trying systems and then when they don't work you change it and try something new. My current system isn't working for me but I actually don't know how to change it to a way that would work 😅 x
I've been catching up on some of your videos I've missed in the last three or so weeks and I noticed on one of them you (Stephanie) were wearing leggings very similar to mine with your phone right there in your pocket. They are just so comfortable AND functional! I'm loving catching up on your videos. You ladies and also Coline have been a lot of my body doubling today as I get back on top of things here since we just got back from our trip last night. I have SO MUCH to do, so I'm glad to have the company of friends as I catch up on it all.😊😘
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp the second you told me you could buy leggings with pockets, I bought some! 🤣 best purchase ever. How was your trip? I must have missed where you were? I'm rubbish at body doubling because I watch all you guys to procrastinate haha I have an essay due this week and then I really need to sort my house too 😅 you've got me itching to do my closet but also I'm just not there yet 🙈 x
@fifefreecleaning I have been on a Mediterranean cruise with my husband the last couple of weeks for our 25th anniversary. We had 10 different ports, including Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Spain. It was amazing to see all of those places, but I am so glad to be back and not around thousands of people.😵💫 I'm all peopled out for a little bit.😊
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp that sounds absolutely amazing! 😍 but also yes I can imagine your social battery must be looowww now 😅 enjoy being back in your own bed 🥰 x
Sweet ooh
Great closet organizing video!
😮😮😮 The tank top folding was a revelation almost as life-changing as the fitted sheets!
I have a lot of tank tops, and the way I've been folding them leaves the straps? sleeves? all flopping around messily and I do not like it. 😛
I'm so glad you showed us this even though you changed your mind in the end!!!
Im with you on that! New technique learned today. Bonnie is the best❤
Glad it was helpful! I'm all about tucking away the messiness. 😋
Happy anniversary!
Thank you for sharing because I truly need to work on my closet which is very small mine is not walk in and at the moment it’s cluttered I have decluttered it and got rid of a bunch of stuff but I still need to get rid of more I have bead board looking wallpaper I’m going to put up because I have old brown looking wall. My whole bedroom needs a makeover new floor and paint. Which I plan to do soon. If I could I would hire you to help me organize my closet and drawers but you live to far.
❤ Oooh yay a declutter video!! ❤
If you stack the shoe pairs (one on top of the other, upside down and toe heel reversed) you can fill more space vertically and open up shelf space for more storage 😊❤
I still can't get over the size of American walk on closets. A friend in the UK had one in a 1 bedroom apartment and changed it into a bedroom for 2 children. My 2 children share a small closet
I think the closet is about the same size, or maybe wider, as my work from home office 😂 (also UK)
I think it would be so amazing to have that much space, would make it possibly easier to put away clean laundry as you can probably walk right in with a basket
Looks incredible!!!!!
Thank you for the video❤Enjoy your trip🍹🍹
Enjoy your trip! I need to go through everything in my closets and donate. We have small closets. It isn't working for me anymore ❤
i'm a big advocate for comfy clothes. why spend the day wearing something that's riding up or cutting into your skin or falling off constantly having to be readjusted. all about wearing what feels comfortable and you like~!
as someone who grew up as a female for nearly 25 years (i'm a transman now) i find that girls are constantly trying to fit themselves into smaller sizes out of guilt or just hope of being smaller. and always buying trendy things regardless of how it fits the body. when i started transitioning those types of clothes were the first to go. i no longer hold on to clothing that i may or may not fit into someday either. who needs that hanging over their head (or in the back of their closet)
yeah , do a W A Y slowed down version of your folding (method) of the t shirts (not the tank tops) !
Happy Anniversary. I love this video and you. You've always struck me as a person I could be friends with. I've already watched a few videos ahead and know your story and plan. Whatever you do I know you've tried so hard to help people. I want you to know that I've been through some stuff, financial failure, troubles in my marriage, child with mental health issues. I held on to my marriage, that was something I couldn't give up on. There is more but I want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sharing your faith. Without my belief in an almighty God that sees me, I wouldn't have made it through. Life hurts so many times but knowing that I have eternity to spend with my savior Jesus and anyone who chooses him, that keeps me going. ❤ please take care of yourself and family. I am praying for you all. ❤❤ No need to answer, I'm good just knowing you're on the road to a good place.
I have had to be very picky about the comments I respond to personally because there are so many. I just wanted you to know I read yours and I am so glad you shared what you did. Yes, I have faith there is light at the end of the tunnel and that there is always a purpose to our trials even if it takes years or a lifetime to see those, so I'm trying to regroup and remember that it's all part of a higher plan. Thanks again for sharing and for your support. 💖🙏
The closet is looking amazing! 🩷
It makes me want to do mine!😅
I’m sure Mira will really appreciate that something she let go is being put to great use. 🤍🤍🤍
I hope you are enjoying your anniversary trip! 💖💖💖
Those bed sheets! I was having anxiety looking at them 😀
Do you mean my mattress? I think you're talking about my mattress. I put text on the screen that said my sheets were in the wash.😄
Great job! Letting go of stuff can be hard!
Hey there Bonnie!!!
Girl , you need some velvet hangers!!! So much better ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful !! Yep get rid of those slacks hangers. He's never going to use them.
That alot of work
Thank you for the video! It was wonderful to see how you went through the stages of organizing. I too found out I liked my t shirts hanging instead of folding. It's the little things that matter. One of the things I struggle with is socks. Too many and I love cute socks and seem to collect them and then just don't want them gone until I wear them out. How do you store your socks?😀
Hey Bonnie , well done, looks great. ❤
Since I retired, I wear leggings, tshirts and long sleeve shirts. I did save some nicer work clothes but donated so much. It was hard because I thought of the money I spent.
Luv the idea of bins❣️👍
I like to hang most everything except for sweaters which I don’t have anymore since I stay in warmer climates . No wrinkles or crease lines.
Also velvet hangers make so much more room!
