    Maybe you need a “project cupboard”….. so you can put whatever you want in there….. but when the cupboard it full and you want to add something you either have to do a project to free up space, or get rid of an old craft to make space.

    Just put shoes in her closet room so that the whole cabinet is free for her pantry items.
    I think, if in South Korea shoes are suppose to be near gate, so it should be kept in a console or small cabinet outside.
    It’s weird near your kitchen your shoes are there.And a lot of space could be allotted to her kitchen items which are scattered everywhere on the counter.
    Furthermore I think her plants in the living room should be behind her window not in the whole living room. Since it will give more space to her.
    But, April is doing her best to give her new space. ❤️❤️

    TOP TIP FOR SORTING SHOES 🎉
    When you get down to the pile you are definitely keeping….. TRY THEM ON AND WALK AROUND…..
    It’s surprising how our feet change and based on shoes we have been wearing recently what once felt comfortable no longer does. Guaranteed you will let go of a lot more based on true comfort over just liking how they look or remembering them feeling good. ❤

    Shoes..... I also live in a country where shoes are NOT worn in the house. I store my shoes in with my clothing (tiny wardrobe) and keep only my 2 daily wear pairs at the door.
    When I am setting out my clothes for my work day I decide which shoes to wear at the same time (professional office). When I come home at the end of my work day I put my professional clothes & shoes away. This aids in keeping my entry clear. It does mean i give my shoes a quick wipe before putting them away.

She definitely is not using what she already owns, and you are helping her realize that have several years supply of things or duplicates (some of which can't be used) is not beneficial in her life. Gathering things together should help her realize that she doesn't need more of items. In fact, she is definitely realizing how much money she is wasting on duplicates. If only we could clone you April. So many people need your services. Dani, you are making great progress. Keep it up!

      For me, shoes belong next to the entrance, ideally, you would have there only seasonal shoes or shoes you wear in day-to-day life, and it depends on what kind of space you have. My parents have a closet for shoes in the entrance, I have my non-seasonal shoes in my bedroom closet only because I don't have a closet in the entrance.
      And Dani's space looks like she can't move the shoe closet so she has to work with the space she has.

    The shoe cabinet - use one of the drawers for lint rollers. It looks so much better with the floor cleared. The space on the left hand side that you're getting to next week; once that space is cleared/organized there would be room for a rolling cart to give her some storage underneath and a work surface on top for her baking. She could even store her baking supplies in the cart.
    I'm glad you're back for the kitchen, hope to see you help in the bathroom as well, a complete apartment reset for her. She's such a sweet person and wonderful personality, she deserves a great space to live in.

    Everyone loves the Dani series. She's so realistic and fun. And her smile is lovely. Such great progress. Could you persuade her to go to Ikea (or whatever you have) and buy some proper storage cupboards for the back wall of the kitchen? It's always going to look a mess with all the different colours, heights, styles of shelves and stuff. A wall of simple white doors would make it look so much bigger and house everything she needs including foodstuffs.
    You have worked wonders on this flat between you. I take it this is a top floor flat? What is the ledge for that runs round the whole place? That makes things really awkward in places. But I guess it's structural or it would not be there. When she said everything melts in her home during summer I wilted. I hate being too hot and top floors of anything are always too hot for me.

    i love decluttering chanels. I also watch Clutterbug and Dani is definitely a Butterfly! I like things hidden away so i do not see the clutter chaos. But Butterflies need to see their stuff so that they remember they have it, and then they can use it. I would go crazy... Thats why, when you help reorganize someone elses stuff, you need to do it based on their use of their space. This is somethig I learned through the years: there are many different ways to organize, and it depends on your personality and your way of using your space. Clutter makes me so anxious. I recently decluttered my whole top floor including my kitchen and living room because I was redoing my kitchen. I ended up giving everything away except a couple of furniture pieces, and i started fresh. I maintain it by doing a reset of my kitchen every evening, as well as a reset of my living room. This way, it will not get cluttered again, and when we get up in the morning the rooms are clear and clean. We have been able to maintain this and i am much calmer.

      @@paulawloe7743 what i mean by reset is that before sitting down for the evening, my kitchen is picked up, dishes put in the dishwasher , salt and pepper put away, the counters are cleared and everything is put back in its place. The sinks are clear or any dishes, and washed. Towels hung where they belong. My kitchen is ''reset''. That way i don't feel guilty if i am sitting down in my living room watching tv lol! Then when i am ready for bed, i pick up anything that is out of place in the living room(any cups or glasses are put in the dishwasher), i replace the cushions and throw blankets on the sofa and chairs, put away the laptops, and voila! My living room is ''reset''. Then I start my dishwasher for the night. In the morning the dishwasher is emptied so that it is ready for dirty dishes during the day.

    So glad that you ladies have finally tackled Dani's kitchen. How did she ever make her coffee cake in there? Having a knowledgeable guide to guide her has certainly helped her; one can see her decluttering muscles grow as the series has progressed. Like her I have so many projects that I "thought" I'd get to but never have. Now I'm being ruthless! Yesterday most of my needlework booklets of directions went. Maybe next should be my canning jars of all sizes?
    Blessings to you both from central Georgia USA.

    Shoes should definitely be in the bedroom. Also, the vases and other glassware needs to be downsized. Great work so far. I think the key is to not buy anything new until all the items are used up ie, spices, lint rollers, dog treats, coffee etc.

    She could also create more space in the kitchen by putting shelves of the right size on the ledge, to add potentially quite a decent amount of vertical space (could store jars, spices, appliances, etc.).
    She could then have this concealed by a curtain (if she could get a tension rod that was long enough/with pins in the ceiling if she didn't mind holding back the curtain when she was using it).

    I’m not going to lie, that kitchen gives me some serious anxiety 😖 I moved from a 2400sq ft home into a fifth wheel. I love to cook and bake and I found that I didn’t need that much stuff to do those things. I found kitchen items with multi purpose that made the big down sizing so much easier. Also, I only have food that I eat, I don’t have excess, it’s easy to see, and I have saved money in the process. I’m not a collector of anything, so I don’t get the cup collection specially if you don’t use the on a regular basis. Another thing I have learned in My years of decluttering and helping others do the same, the collection become expensive and in most cases they don’t really bring any value to anyone else when you try to sell them. I had a friend that had all these collections and when she moved and was overwhelmed with the stuff, she tried selling it, only to find out that most people didn’t want any of it. It was such a waste of time and money, she did the numbers and instantly regretted it. She was in some debt, so she realized she could have easy have put that money towards paying off her student loan and other debts.

    I lived in a mobile home for 45 years. I had to learn big space wasn't an option.
    When you're in a small space one of the things I learned is you have to go up and not out. There's no floor space for that. The other thing I learned is that multi use stackable storage containers that you can see thru become a best friend, especially if you are storing kitchen items that aren't used as much but still needed seasonally like for canning, holidays, etc...stack them up and still where they can be visual.
    The biggest thing to do in the kitchen, bathroom, closets, etc, I think is LABELING.
    you can find nice labels on Amazon, etc...and boy, does it help ya later.
