- Closet Organization Ideas Small Space | Entryway Storage | Busy Mom Home Organization Day 3
We're back for day 3 of our #monthofmoms with my friend Daria. Daria is a busy mom with 2 little boys and her closets are in need of some extreme organization and decluttering. Home organization in an apartment is a challenge because you need to store EVERYTHING in your home. No garages allowed.
Today we're focusing on Daria’s entryway and the entryway closets. I’ve got some closet organization ideas for her small space. We both get a little loopy during this one. It was hard work but we also made a fun day out of it. And just wait till you see what Daria has to say about it afterward!

The state of your house is directly linked to the state of your mind and Daria is now a total believer!
Yep. My life changed completely once I figured out how mentally draining mess and dirt was! I now put much more effort into preventing mess too. Everything has its place, I don't buy stuff I don't need. The only thing I have too much of is stationery :D But it's all organised!
I just found you in my feed and I totally agree that the state of one’s home = state of mind. I will enjoy watching your channel 😎👍
Absolutely. If your mind is scattered it shows, and clutter also scatters your mind. I feel it in my head once I cross a certain line with my clutter.
I agree, shoes in the house is a no no. I live in the US and we do not wear shoes in our house. And I also ask guests to remove theirs. 😬😁
Right! I agree!
I am always surprised to hear her say people in the u.s. wear shoes in the house. I live in Minnesota and don't know anyone who wears shoes in the house.
YAY! 3 vídeos a week! I'm loving this series. April, maybe you could also put the number of the day/video in the series on the thumbnail, just to be easier to follow up ;)
Ooo ya that’s a great idea! I’ll go back and add that to all the series tomorrow! Thanks for the input💛💛💛
It's official we have a new superheroine!
"I am the Space Maker"
They always say you need to break eggs to make an omelette. There is no better way to really appreciate how much stuff we've accumulated unless we bring it all out and confront it. It's not pretty but it gives us a jolt of realisation. And, as April says, you've just got to go through it. All of these videos have inspired me to continue decluttering my home. Thank you ❤
Your videos are so relatable, entertaining and motivating.
I stumbled across one of your most recent videos yesterday due to algorithm randomness. I watched for a few minutes then spoke with my partner about how I like your methods of helping people help themselves. He asked me, "well is there anything you've been wanting to declutter?" and before I knew it, we were up and organizing like mad.
What she said is true, once it's organized it also frees up that space in your head that's been thinking about it all that time. I said the exact same thing to my boyfriend when we were done.
Hello from Scotland! Your channel has been my shiny beacon of light in lockdown- thank you for posting regularly. I love Izzy’s chat, (I also have a ‘vocal cat’ 😂) and getting to nosey inside other peoples homes from the comfort of my own. The makeovers have all been amazing!
Oh I’m so happy to hear that!! Sorry you’re in lockdown, but I hope you love the space you’re in!
No need for anyone to complain about this closet revamp. Its amazing, organized and seriously, it looks fantastic.
Thank you 💛
I have lived in my flat for many years my small storage cupboard is full of Christmas decorations, paint and rollers, spare tiles, plant pots, wood from projects, bulbs, backpacks, stepladders etc and the boiler, as I need access to it I clear a path once a month.. This month I pulled everything out and was so surprised when I saw the amount in the living room. It took me a few days to organise and categories I have piles to donate when they open. The items are back in but they are not Pinterest worthy. Now that I can see the floor
That’s awesome!! Pinterest worthy isn’t always realistic. And that okay!
Oh I like that tip: small stuff first.
And don't ever stop! Your makeovers are inspirational! To me they are very genuine. Thank you.
Thank you so much 💛
I love how realistic you are. I mean everybody wants a Pinterest worthy after but that isn't reality most of the times. I love your practical ideas to make living more beautiful.
Thank you, I’m so happy you align with the TSD principles too!
TSD has inspired me to start decluttering and organizing my home, and she has also inspired me to use what I have. What I have right now is some larger Amazon boxes, so that is what I am using to organize the top shelves in my closet! And they fit PERFECTLY on those shelves like they were designed for them, and even though it's cardboard boxes, it still looks neater than a bunch of clothes piled up on the shelves. I don't know if I would have thought of using them if I had not started watching this channel.
“It doesn’t occupy space in your head” I completely agree with her! I had clutter of things I was going to put on a garage sale in the dining room and it was messing with me! Put it out in the garage and now when I walk into the dining room I’m just like “yes, this is how it should be”.
Absolutely!!!
So funny when you told izzy to stop meowing. I had my wisdom tooth out a few days ago, and fell asleep afterward watching your videos and she was meowing in my dreams 😂
Bahahahahahaha I think you mean nightmare 🤪
That was so unbelievably satisfying seeing that stroller finally go in fully! I'd rather functional storage rather than aesthetic closets that don't actually store anything!
And yeah I don't understand how anyone could walk into their home with shoes on. I'm Asian and that would never ever happen in our houses.
I remember the first time I told some of my students that Americans walk inside with shoes... they freaked out 🤪
Once again a great video! Your friend has a good point when she said that if the space is finished you can stop thinking about it. Also don't tell Izzy not to make the cute cat noises! The cute noises are integral to the voice over. ;)
I don't know about everyone else, but I want to know Izzy's opinion lol
😸😜
I’m in a tiny house in the UK where the porch is literally hooks on the wall and 2 shelves... even this entryway looks luxurious and enormous to me! 😂😂😂
NEVER wear shoes inside. So wrong! 😘
These new apartments def have great entry ways!
Wearing shoes inside always boggles my mind! My family has always lived in Iowa and growing up we never wore shoes inside because mom said it was gross (way to go mom!) with what you can track in on your shoes - but pretty much every other house I go to when I start to take my shoes off they wonder “why” and it seems so crazy to keep them on!
And for Iowa I’m sure that’s weird!
I was raised in rural America by American parents and we never wore shoes in the house. The only exception was guests. My mom would not ask a guest to remove their shoes but many people saw us removing ours and just follow suit as a courtesy. I have friends who grew up the same way. I think it's a case by case basis in the USA.
Love the cat, she is part of your channel 😍
Omg every time the mic comes out she starts meowing 🤪
She really is! Lol. She MUST make her presence known in all videos :3
Definitely love her presence.
Shoes are a big no in our house and we live in the US but we always have to remind our visitors...
I bet that would be hard to always remind them!
No shoes in the house team🙌🏼
In Sweden every apartment has a storage unit either in the attic or basement, and that’s is we’re all you bulky and seasonal items go. Never realised that is not the case everywhere 😳
I saw that in the US, but here in Brazil you never have that. Season change is usually minimal for most of Brazil - not where I grew up in the South, but we just put our winter or summer clothes in bags and stored them in the wardrobe, where the suitcases were meant to be.
Thank you for the “before”, during and AFTER ! I think this is necessary for everyone... it’s not discouraging! Also the cute happy face bins... 👩🏻🍳🤗
So happy to hear that! 💛
It’s always so interesting to see how many pairs of shoes people have. I have large feet with high arches so it’s hard to find shoes that fit correctly. So I actually only have two pairs, LOL.
😂 haha well I gues that makes for easy organization.
Love what you do, dont allow negative comments to break you down you know that you are making a change the best way you can so on ward and upward to you.
As Always, a successful job. April it is true, the best way to organize a space it is to remove everything from it, that way you know exactly what you have, what to keep and what to get rid of. Looking forward to other projects and ideas!
So relatable! Sometimes your stage of life doesn't lend itself to getting rid of almost everything. Y'all worked really hard! Great job!!!
That was amazing!! We don’t have a garage either, but we have tonnes of camping equipment and shoes. I love those closets. I wish I had something like that in my home. 🤔 Hmmm
I am in the US but I am in an apartment. The biggest thing I have in my favor is that I have a car that I can stash stuff but I'm trying to get away from using my car for storage.
I also HATE wearing my outdoor shoes more than 3' inside my apartment.
Yay for three videos! Love your videos😇
💛💛💛
Thank you!
Yay, March Madness--bonus videos!!! :)
Enjoying this series. Your organization with your friends/clients are great.
Thanks for sharing.
Lol @ my spotlight comment. We LOVE Izzy and love hearing her 😻 I’m excited to watch this! Looks amazing! Great job on the closets.
Also I’m laughing about the shoe thing. I always ask people who enter our home to please take off their shoes and leave them on our shoe rack. I know it’s kind of weird being in the USA, but it’s my preference to avoid dirt and junk being tracked in! I live in socks around the apartment. I also always ask people if they prefer our shoes being off when we go to their home and most don’t care.
Also, I am now starting to get my house organized!! It's gonna be a JOB(3BR, 2BA), but I need to do it, so I'm jumping into it.
You will feel so good afterwards!
We lived in Japan for three years and got in the habit of always taking off our shoes when entering a home. Unfortunately over the years, here in the U.S., my husband won't do it anymore. Mainly because of my husband's age and arthritis, as he can't bend over to take off and put on his shoes. I have managed to MAKE him and HELP him take off his shoes when they are muddy, but he still sneaks in when I don't catch him.
Oh no! Ya I have no clue how I’ll get my parents to take their shoes off in my house either 🤪
American checking in. I don’t wear shoes in the house and don’t know anyone else who does either. Maybe it’s a regional thing.
Canadian here: no shoes in the house unless it's flip flops for cleaning floors or grabbing something quick before leaving
Yessss
Bravo!
Great work!
Thank you!
Canadian here, I completely agree with her: shoes inside is just gross !
Absolutely!
The closet looks great. I will be working on my closet soon and organizing area around the house one room at a time. I need to declutter not just move things around from one room to another.
You got this!!!!
Good job!
Thanks💛💛💛
I am in America, and I almost never wear shoes in my house. I am more comfortable without shoes.
Preach!
Say meow to Izzy 😸
She said, "MEOOOOOOOWWWWW."
@@SpaceMakerMethod 😻
I and my family almost never wear our shoes in the house (nj, USA)
Good for you guys!!! 💛
Great video. I live in Canada, European back ground...Definitely no shoes in the house!!!. Just a thought....,why don't you fold the stroller in the closet after you're done using it?
We had talked about that, but she uses it so much because we’re in the city without cars that it wouldn’t be practical or quick .
Not many people have garages in London UK either.
Or basements.
100% this! But I quite like it because it means I can’t gather clutter... it fits in the hall cupboard or it doesn’t stay in the house!
Absolutely! It use to be so normal to me and now the idea of storage for all that stuff, including a car seems excessive.
My father used to wear shoes in the house until he married my mother who is Asian. Now it’s house slippers always.
Stopping the video to say whoever commented that you should stop doing these organization videos because of the mess has worse than bats in her belfry. Even my perfect sister who has never been unorganized even as a teenager in the midst of a chaos of siblings in a small house knows that you can’t do a good tidying without making a bit of mess.
haha agreed!
Not all Americans wear their shoes in the house.
Not all Americans wear shoes in the house.
haha! Yes, I'm quite surprised that many who commented don't wear them either!! :)
Shoe wearing in the house is not sanitary.
When cats use a litter box and then jump on the kitchen counters after scratching their poop and pee around in their litter box is extremely unsanitary.
