Re Command hook removal: Make sure to pull the adhesive tab straight down against the wall, and do it verrryyy slowly. Also, especially with the larger ones, watch out for when it finally comes (jumps) off. I’ve gotten smacked in the face a couple of times.
I so get it when your spice drawer makes you happy! Let's celebrate that we do not need a million dollar house or $60,000 car. I think it's a win when our little organized space makes us smile!
I agree, I'm going to organize my spice drawer like this. Half the time I'm nearly in tears because I know that Cumin is there, somewhere, am in a hurry at that point and can't find it, etc....
My fav things in 2023 were humidifiers (one for the office and one for the bedroom) - they have helped my husband with his dry eyes and my sinus pressure as well as some command hooks I used for various things. I can't believe 3M isn't sponsoring you yet! Thanks for the video (a good distraction for me), we had to put our cat to sleep today, she has been struggling for the past couple of weeks. Give the bean a hug for me, they just don't live long enough!
Because of you I have the Elfa over the door organizer in the linen closet. AND...... I'm excited to tell you that The Container Store will be coming out in 2 weeks to install my new closet organizer!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I've had the designfor a few years but finally made up my mind. When I went into the store They asked me how I found out about them and I told them your story... When I went in just recently to seal the deal, I told the new designer that I was influenced by a UA-cam Influencer who used to work at the store and was a designer. Thank you for just being great! You have no idea how you have touched sooooo many lives!😉🙏🏾❤💯🍾
The security roller is a must! I have another brand but it has cut down in my shredding time and made such a difference. I’m definitely going to check out the freezer baskets which I plan to use for shopping. Imagine placing groceries directly into the basket, into the car, then carrying into the house! Hallelujah!!
Thanks for this! I literally paused the video, grabbed a Command hook, put it on the back of a door to store my yoga mat. It had been in a corner and irritating me. Now it's out of sight! 🎉😊
I’m a new subscriber as I came over from clean my space as I’m a fan of all decluttering/organizational type of videos and that’s why I decided to subscribe to your awesome channel
I have an LG washer and it has a built in magnetic thing on the door so it doesn’t close all the way. But that one is good to know for a washer without one. Like the freezer baskets. You are really making me think with that one, Kay. Haha
After 13 months, we are (hopefully) 1 month away from moving back into our house after a frozen/broken fire sprinkler pipe total house flood and I’m gathering ideas for putting the house back together - I totally feel you on the spice drawer happiness (that will be a new opportunity for me in a revamped kitchen setup) and the Elfa closet (our kids had them but I will now have one too!). I’m also going to use some of the Command Strip hacks like for the silicone baking mats - awesome! Oh and the freezer baskets - GENIUS - we will be replacing our 30 yr old chest freezer with another one and I’d love to start over with a better system for retrieving items!!! Thanks for the ideas!
We have 3 Govee water sensors. They are very sensitive, can be programmed to send notifications to phone(s), works exactly as advertised. I would recommend highly. Not costly but can save you money from leaking water damage.
You are so funny, and I love everything you shared. It doesn't have to be a big thing or a difficult transformation to have a big impact. Thanks for sharing all sorts of goodies that can help make our lives a little easier too!
After I saw your initial spice drawer video I went and got the same set and my spice drawer has never looked so good ❤ Thank you for the inspo and idea!! I'm going to have to try the baking mat idea next because my current solution (aka just shoving them in the cabinet lol) is not working for me
I'm going to have to find your video about Command hooks LOL I have tried at least 10 times and I've been very careful but every single time it's done damage some a little bit of damage some a lot of damage so I need to watch your video thank you for all you do it really helps
I have the freezer baskets and love them. I’m not a fan of Command hooks because I’ve had terrible luck removing some while others just fall off of the wall. I love the look of the pans, but I have an induction stove, so I don’t think they would work.
When installing Command Strips follow the directions carefully. Buy the correct weight size and wait 24 hours after installing before hanging something on them. Mine have been up for 10 years so far. When removing them, pull straight down, slowly, so they don't bounce off and hit your face.
I hate command hooks because they did take off the paint in a previous apt that I used to live in. I need an alternative to those for my new apt. I will never use them again.
I want to try several of these!! Resubscriber! Im a bostonian that followed you years ago but with new channels i lost my subscription to you! Saw you on Melissas video and came back over 😊
Yes to Govee. I have the water alarm in my basement and it went off while I was out of town; I got a message on my phone. Friends unlocked my house and let a plumber in to fix a burst pipe. Without the alarm, the water would have accumulated for two more days. Highly recommend.
Great video! Silicone baking mat idea for the win! I have mine in a magazine holder currently, but I've been trying to use more vertical space and your idea is perfect. ❤
YES!!! I was waiting to see if you'd include the freezer baskets. I was using milk crates for mine but they were so heavy to move when loaded with food. I switched to these (took a total of 12 baskets because I have a large chest freezer) but it's made my life soooo much easier. And how did you *know* I needed a solution for storing a silicone baking mat? I used one for the first time this past week.
The spice organizer would be great for my blind husband. He doesn't use them all but having a flat edge on your bottles would work so much better than the round ones we have. I will have to steal this for the 'big house'(our next house that hopefully has more drawers)
Thank you for all the great tips. It's nice to see how sometimes the best organizing solutions can be very simple and not a budget breaker...So fun to see your excitement with your spice drawer (which looks great)...Your smile is contagious! ❣
Thanks to your recommendation, I invested in the Caraway pans and love them! And I just added the Guard your ID stamp to my shopping cart as I watched this video! That will be so helpful! Love all your ideas! Thanks Kay!!
I have just a few spices. Instead of alphabetical, I group them by sweet or savory. Salt goes in between (they’re currently on a turntable) sweet and savory because it is used with both groups of seasonings.
I'm totally trying a new basket system in my freezer...they have handles to lift out, but they are metal instead of plastic. The jury is out on whether I think that was a good idea, but I do love that you can just lift out the burger to get to the sausage links and brats.
I love command items. I have hooks everywhere in my apartment. My bathroom command products are my favourite. I had zero storage in my bathroom until I brought command shelves. It's makes getting ready each day, so simple.
Love the silpat itdea!!! They tend to get lost in my cabinets and then I cant find them. I also love the baskets for the freezer! I dont have one yet but I really want to get one and this solves the other issue of trying to find things in it. Great video!
You sold me on at least a couple items. 😬 Question: Where did you get the Laundry Guide that you have on the wall of your laundry room? I've been looking all over the place for that exact thing. TYIA!
Thanks Kay for this. I like the front load washing machine doorstop. It is good for those who have cats. I may buy one for my sister, as she always says to close the door to the machine as she is afraid the cats will go inside and get shut in.😅 But this door stopper is great. It leaves the door ajar enough for air circulation but not too wide where the cats can get into it. Love Caraway pans, I would like to get the mini set to start off with and the GOvi for my lamps. And the freezer baskets as I have just been bagging the same meats togethe. And yes yes i rememeber rwading the freezer instructions regarding good air flow, these would be good for the deep freezer. I will have to save for an Elfa free standing desk. I HAVE BEEN EYEING elfa for years. I had to stop going to the Container store. I believe that desk would would work good for my spaceas I am afraid to put hoales in this 70+ year old houses wall. And I know they can customize it to my needs and the way I work.and organize. Or at least try to organize. 😊
I watched this video when you first uploaded it and I thought you talked about your desk… I was looking for the link, but maybe it wasn’t this video. I know you enjoy your desk a lot and I thought it was an Elfa system from the Container Store, or is it from Ikea? I can’t remember. I’d like to buy one for my son if he agrees. Thank you.
Re Command hook removal: Make sure to pull the adhesive tab straight down against the wall, and do it verrryyy slowly. Also, especially with the larger ones, watch out for when it finally comes (jumps) off. I’ve gotten smacked in the face a couple of times.
Umm the cute little dress hanging on the stove is gorgeous and wants us to know her story. 💃🏾
I agree
I use an empty paper towel roll for my silicon cookie mats.
I'm just happy to see Old Bay in your spice drawer. As a Marylander, at least 50% of my blood is Old Bay. 😂
Even though I've lived in Boston longer...definitely a Marylander at heart LOL
I so get it when your spice drawer makes you happy! Let's celebrate that we do not need a million dollar house or $60,000 car. I think it's a win when our little organized space makes us smile!
I absolutely agree, well phrased!
Totally agree
I agree, I'm going to organize my spice drawer like this. Half the time I'm nearly in tears because I know that Cumin is there, somewhere, am in a hurry at that point and can't find it, etc....
@@joane8651 Keep us posted. We are rooting for you to find the Cumin and anything that you are looking for. We have been there!

Saying a little prayer for you, that is very painful. Love your pusheen pic
@@stephanieg2000 Thank you so much 🥰
I love seeing all the new (to me) ways you use Command Hooks. They are soo helpful for renters. 🙂
Who wouldn't like you?!?! Im absolutely OBSESSED with how sweet and positive you are!

Love how you giggle and live your products. Thank you
Thank you for the silicone baking mat idea. Mine drive me crazy but I want to keep them because I use them
Little things like this make me smile 😊
I neeeeeed more “made my life easier” type videos!! ❤🎉
Love the cute tea towel that looks like a dress!
The security roller is a must! I have another brand but it has cut down in my shredding time and made such a difference. I’m definitely going to check out the freezer baskets which I plan to use for shopping. Imagine placing groceries directly into the basket, into the car, then carrying into the house! Hallelujah!!
Thanks so much washer and freezer tips.No one ever addresses those things!
Thanks for this! I literally paused the video, grabbed a Command hook, put it on the back of a door to store my yoga mat. It had been in a corner and irritating me. Now it's out of sight! 🎉😊
Omg the freezer baskets are amazing I have to go back and check out your past video 👍🏾
Your spices being in alphabetical order gives me a bystander hit of organizational happiness😻
I have to sing the alphabet song in the library 😹
Have you noticed that the command hooks do not seem to stick as well as they did years ago?
Love the command hooks with the silicone mats!

Very funny when you said “You could see Ella coming.” Love my Elfa too!
We have 3 Govee water sensors. They are very sensitive, can be programmed to send notifications to phone(s), works exactly as advertised. I would recommend highly. Not costly but can save you money from leaking water damage.
Thank you for the testimonial! I bought two more and put one next the washing machine just in case...😬
"No longer a command hook rookie" by Kay ~ These solutions are so satisfying ! Wanda Kay ~
I have used the Elfa system over the years in different areas of our home and business.
??? Do you have a video on making your spice jars AND your homemade spice blends? I love alphabetizing my spices. Have done it for years.
Signs you're an adult: getting excited about washing machine door stops!
Love this! That spice drawer is perfection! 😊
You are so funny, and I love everything you shared. It doesn't have to be a big thing or a difficult transformation to have a big impact. Thanks for sharing all sorts of goodies that can help make our lives a little easier too!

Thanks for sharing is the fan charged by usb? I am in Australia so need a different power point if it's not usb
🤩🤩🤩
Oh my gosh, the freezer baskets!! What a great solution! Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes to Govee. I have the water alarm in my basement and it went off while I was out of town; I got a message on my phone. Friends unlocked my house and let a plumber in to fix a burst pipe. Without the alarm, the water would have accumulated for two more days. Highly recommend.
OMGS I am getting that guard your ID stamp right now!
You will be so thankful you ordered it!!! It’s AMAZING!!

Your spice drawer looks like mine I got the wood tops also, and the wood tops for my mason jars also 😊
Thanks to your recommendation, I invested in
the Caraway pans and love them! And I just added the Guard your ID stamp to my shopping cart as I watched this video! That will be so helpful! Love all your ideas! Thanks Kay!!
I have just a few spices. Instead of alphabetical, I group them by sweet or savory. Salt goes in between (they’re currently on a turntable) sweet and savory because it is used with both groups of seasonings.
I'm totally trying a new basket system in my freezer...they have handles to lift out, but they are metal instead of plastic. The jury is out on whether I think that was a good idea, but I do love that you can just lift out the burger to get to the sausage links and brats.

#SpiceDrawerGoals. But the Guard ID privacy roller is life. I have used one for several years and have given some away as gifts!

I miss my spice drawer! There are no drawers that can hold spices like that in this house :(
You are the cutest! 💕
Waittt! Where do i get the dress towel on the stove?❤😂
A viewer gifted them to me, but let me see if I can find out where they are from! I think an Etsy seller makes them! Aren't they cute!?
You sold me on at least a couple items. 😬 Question: Where did you get the Laundry Guide that you have on the wall of your laundry room? I've been looking all over the place for that exact thing. TYIA!

I love my caraway ❤️
I have found the 'dumbest' things are basically the things that make the biggest impact on daily life! Love the programmable fan :)
That fan brings me so much joy for literally just turning on when I go to bed lol 😂
That washer door stopper thingy - where do I find it, please? It is brilliant! Right now I have bent a piece of wire to prop open my front loader....
All the products are linked in the description for ya! 🥰
