I’m so excited for the tea organizer!! I seriously have 2 shelves full in a cabinet about the same size as yours 😂 I mentioned it to my mom & she wants one too!! Thanks for all you do!!
As a Dutch person it is hilarious to see what you find small. Multiple living rooms, bathrooms, storage rooms, an enormous kitchen. You'd have to be a multimillionaire to have that. 🤑 Thanks for the tour of your home. Your bug system really helped me. Groetjes
I'm from Australia, we have huge homes compared to UK and Europe, and even I agree with you. It's crazy what North Americans consider "small spaces". Perhaps they need to declutter. 1400sft = a "small home"??! The laundry - in a home with space and storage everywhere - considered "small"... the big kitchen (even for Australia)... multibathrooms.... all bedrooms with built in wardrobes 😂?! Ive done the conversion to metric (sqm) and that's bigger than my parent's home (they're wealthy/loads of space for two.... and WAY bigger than average family home here). I appreciate the Clutterbug categories, but I'd LOVE to see some Clutterbug makeovers in an inner City European family apartment OR an English Cottage.
That’s the reason why we are the most powerful country in the WORLD ! We are ahead of every country , and for us we make sure everyone lives lavishly and comfortably. That’s what the great country of the United States offer, style culture and comfort. Blessings 🙏
Discovering your content over the past few weeks has been lifechanging for me. I'm a caregiver for multiple family members on top of working full-time and I was getting so burned out and overwhelmed. Your insights--particularly about my bee/cricket organizing style--are helping me not just organize my space, but also organize and manage my time, which makes me feel so much better. Thank you and I hope Hot Mess House comes back with more seasons because it's the best show HGTV has produced in years :-)
Your house looks amazing and so do you!! ❤ Your growth has been amazing to watch. And you’re still the same funny, authentic person you’ve always been ❤
Your house is pretty small? Your house is pretty SMALL?!!! Your house is HUGE! Look around you girl!! Look at all those rooms and all that space and all the things you have! Oh what I wouldn't do to have what you have!! 🤦You are so blessed. Your house is not worthy of complaints.
Do not compare your life to the highlight reels you may see on UA-cam, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest. Know that what is shared is that there is not the complete reality of those people's lives and focus instead on your own happiness and blessings. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day and week. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.
❤️nothing wrong with being curious as to how others do things…what better way to get ideas⁉️ Love this video and Instagram, Pinterest are wonderful resources‼️
I'm dying - the chihuahuas! My friend had them growing up. Go in her house, they jump on the arm of the chair when you walk in and try to bite you. We get in the car, I'm in the back seat. My friend says "Oh, Peanut is going to come with us. He's a little weird in the car...What? Worse than in the house?" He jumps in the back with me...I freeze. I think I stopped breathing. He jumps back in front with her and lays down...she says, "Wow, he must like you. He didn't try to bite you." Are you kidding me ??! I feel your pain Cass. Tip to survive unscathed for month with those pups: don't breathe too loudly in bed.
Thank you for showing it’s possible to have an organized and tidy home with having three kids!!! I also appreciate you sharing the size of your home as it helps to see how relatable our own situation is. Glad to hear you also are doing well in a smaller home- that seems so much easier than a larger home.
Hi Cass, i love your parents Chihuahuas! We have 3 Chihuahuas and they are very sweet TO THEIR PEOPLE ONLY. They don't like lots of loud noises and want to relax and cuddle alot. It may take a little while for them to warm up to you. Let them come to you. They are great pets.
I love the tour, Cas. It really helps tie together the whole picture of the room by room organizations you've done through the years. I especially love how you dealt with home office storage, so I really learned a lot. Thank you so much! 💜
It helps when all of your family members are on the tidy bandwagon and puts things back or away. I've tried so many organization projects around my house and they ends up as a dump all bins or containers. Even if I go in and reorganize in a short time they slowly end up filled with everything. I decided to keep my areas tidy to keep my sanity.
This part! My eldest son and I can keep order, everyone else is just messy and careless, husband included. In a house with 8 people and a dog, you can imagine what it looks like most of the time 😒
Declutter more. They will still leave things out but maybe not in such a large amount that it is overwhelming. My daughter I swear I go in her room once a week and come out with a garbage bag full of things to donate or just trash. Some people are just messy no matter what 🤦🏻♀️
I love the ending 🤣. I know your/your husband's parents are very Thankful you have watched the dogs. The older dogs would not have done well anywhere else. Hope they bring you back a huge gift of Thanks 😂 Seriously though you are doing great!!
I really enjoy your content and sense of humor Cas- May I suggest you please stop calling yourself lazy and unorganized- you're so successful at this business you've created, you didn't get here by being lazy and unorganized. Self love always :)
Compared to the regular houses we have in England UK, you’re space is huge!! It’s all about working with what you have and learning to appreciate it too ❤
I work at our local Goodwill Store, and I am a hanger and a folder. I am a pro at both, and I love that our store is so much better organized since I took both of these things over a year ago. Also, I swear by proper folding and hanging for EVERYTHING!! My mom taught her 3 now adult kids well!
I was thought your home was so much bigger. You have it so beautifully done. Have 1008 square foot house and raise four children. As much as I could have done organizing and maybe a little better I wouldn't have had my drop songs to maintain daily. Your wealth of wisdom thank you
CAS!!!!!! This is my favorite yt post you have ever posted! I am absolutely in love with your style. What you have done to make your 1400sf look so beautiful is amazing!!! No room looks small because of the perfect way you have furnished each room, decorated it and organized it. It is beautiful!!!! This is the first visit where I took a picture of just about every room. They are going to be my inspiration board. I am not creative at all when it comes to solutions so I really needed this! Thank you so much!!!!! ❤
I’ve always kept things decluttered, but the drawers, cabinets, pantry’s & closets that you show us, along with the 4 styles you point out is priceless!! I’m a 67 yr old newly discovered bee organizer. I used the Dollar Tree and WalMart and am totally happy with the progress I have always had in my mind! Thank you!!!
Love the home tour! It's nice to see it all in one video. I'm on the couch with my long hair Chihuahua and every time I stop petting him he lets me know that I am not finished yet. 😃 They are loving and demanding all at once! (Kinda like toddlers, lol)
Wow- what a big house and so much stuff! I’ve never seen so many clothes, especially for the children. Anyway, that is the USA where embodied carbon is not a concern. I see that you have an online store to sell more stuff. I have worked in many poor parts of the world and really admire how organised these people are, even if they live in one room. I lived with my parents and two sisters in one room but now I live in a much bigger home with my children in London- 900 sq ft! People in Japan and Hong Kong live in small spaces- the one great thing that I have learnt from them is to have less stuff. Even the maximalists in London have smaller homes but they curate their stuff so that the space is filled with things they love which are also beautiful. As William Morris said, Have nothing in your home that is not useful or beautiful! This is what I’ve been trying to do. Organising is really for those with too much stuff and time!
This is "My kinda home",.....SIMPLE & STYLISH AND BEEEAUTIFUL!!!Her house is so spick and span,so clean and well organized,definitely better than most of the"big houses",of Richie rich ppl.i love ur house,dearie!!!👍👍👍👍💜
Absolutely gorgeous (and you’re wrong here) Pinterest worthy home! 💕Love all the organization and practicality of it. And! From a European point of view, your house IS HUGE;) I am constantly inspired and by your genius ideas and entertained by your bubbly, happy personality. Thank you, Cas🙏🏻🎈❤️
Since you don’t love your kitchen maybe changing your kitchen appliances for stainless steel for now. The white tends to stick out more with dark tones. You could sale the ones you have to go towards some gently used one, or scratch and dent. This way you wouldn’t have to spend a lot. But if you have the finances to buy new then buy all together do get even more savings than you would individually. 😊 Oh btw your home looks so much bigger than you said. I like your home. Been a fan of yours for years love your material and your show!
Your home is beautiful, I really hope you can do a series with someone from Europe because our homes are so small in comparison. My laundry room is a walkway to my downstairs bathroom and it is a luxury as usually our washing machines are in the kitchen! Some of the bedrooms I’ve had have just enough room to shimmy around the bed. I’ve just bought a new house and my bedroom is too small for a wardrobe (we have no closets). My art room is crammed 😬If you ever feel like a challenge you know where I am 😂
So agree! I'm from the UK, and my home is half the size of Cass's. Tiny kitchen in which I have my washing machine. Tumble dryer is in a cupboard! No laundry room, no utility, no basement, no pantry, no garage. With all respect to these lovely ladies like Cass, Dawn and Dana, etc; I think WE could show them a thing or two about decluttering and organising!
@@supergran1000 absolutely could! I’m quite organised tbh, it is just tight. My main issue with UK homes is that they have odd walls. We have a chimney in our 70s house which means the sofa only fits in one place and no room in the master bedroom for a wardrobe. Windows only have about 20 cm of wall either side so built in cabinets in any room would block the windows. Total nightmare for storage options.
Chihuahuas are the second most difficult breed I deal with. The only worse breed is a dachshund. You are an adorable saint. That is a huge commitment. I love that your house is designed for the actual people who live there. Lovely!!!
I love so much about this video. I love that you have a behind-door storage system in your laundry room that lets you store your cleaning supplies and still open the door fully. I love that you noted how you converted a closet into a pantry -- I struggle most with figuring out better uses for my space and it's so tough to think outside the box of what an area of the home was originally made for. It really helps me to see examples so I can start thinking more creatively about what will work in my home. Thank you so much for sharing these detailed videos. Really appreciate your time and your help!
I love,how your house looks now.the childrens rooms are on top 😁 but your laundry room is so sweet!! My kitchen is from April 1980 😂 the colour is sand- beige,also neutral. Best wishes from germany, Heike 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Your organization is glorious, beautiful, functional, wonderful, and definitely Pinterest-worthy! Now, I want an in-depth tour of every drawer and cabinet to see what's in there, and how it's all stored. No matter what system anyone has, people have to put things back, and put things in the right places. Even an easy system has to be maintained, and the house tidied up, which your family obviously does well!
One good thing about painting all the woodwork black, is that you don't have to notice all the dust and dirt, unless you want to every six months! instead of every month like me and the cream-colored woodwork on a greasy, dusty, busy street! THank you for so many wonderful ideas, especially having a stash of purchase gift cards to give away! I never thot of that!
I wish you lived closer so you could help me. I have no idea what to do. Everything is adequate though the kitchen is far too small. Nothing has any spark to it. No one else cares. Thank you for your cheerfulness and great ideas.
This is most definitely my idea of a Pinterest worthy home. I love every part of your style! And I have to add...I know you're a ladybug and I love that you are dressed like one too! At least the colors LOL! Thank you for this tour. Your home is GORGEOUS!!! So inspiring!
Great Tour Cas! Love that you have a normal home and that you’ve made it work for you & your family! Very encouraging to see and I got some good ideas!
You are so much fun. Yes, I need some help organizing. The first thing I am going to do is walk around the house and get rid of the paper, old bottles of cosmetics and then make a pile for giving away. I was a librarian (I am retired now) so, that is the one thing I cannot get rid of....books. We are going to put some new bookcases in the living room. The ones we have are not sufficient for our books. I also collect ones that I read as a child. There are books everywhere. Well, once in a while, I get rid of a cookbook or a paperback book, but each one is a treasure to me. I can give up other bits and bobs. If jewelry is referred to as bobs, then that will stay. Thank you for your encouragement and all the tips.
This was so satisfying to watch! Also, I'm totally gonna start storing my measuring cups on the back of my cabinet door, love that idea. Also love the printout of the measurements.
I have a Chihuahua that sounds just like Bandit. No sudden moves. And the desire to snuggle but then 2 seconds later bite your head off is perplexing. But that is a Chihuahua I guess. Lol. They certainly pick their favorites and just somewhat tolerate anyone else. 😂
Love your home! Practicality is over-the-top!! You have a good eye for amenities! So pleasing, and much inspiration for me!! Blessings, Lyn W, Nampa ID 💜
Love your home and your great organizing tips. A place for everything and every thing in its place is my GOAL. Thank you for sharing with us and helping us to make our homes more efficient and more peaceful and less stressful.❤️
I honestly thumbs up bc of the end of the video lol. Book yourself a vacation 😂. My daughter always wants us to bring my parents dog over to spend the night, and I’m like girl I’m barely watching you! Lol
I am so glad that you and the Chi's are 'sort-of' friends now. I love dogs and owned/fostered for a lot of my life, but have no dogs ourselves now and definitely say no to any holiday care/fostering. We have an elderly cat with dementia and 2 rescue guinea pigs, and that is more than enough for me at this stage of my life.
Wow. I just love every part of your house, beautiful, organized but so functional. My dream! A place for everything and everything in its place! Do you ever come to IL to help people organize?
Beautiful! I didn't expect how small your house is. It makes me feel like I can do more in my 1200 sq ft townhouse (edit- a lot of people think this is pretty big! i guess we're just spoiled for space in australia)
you guys make me laugh, I cnt believe u guys think that is small, to me its Huge! lol. I think everything is just much smaller in the UK by comparison. In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and final room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
@@BLK2000 that sounds like New York city living in the US. That's a true challenge with small space living. I've lived in large and very small homes over the years. One thing I've learned is that if you have more space you fill it up. If you have less space you get rid of things, and learn to live with less. In most situations you find a way to organize it to make it livable for your family. Most often one room will wear many different hats. It just depends on what the current need is. Making it to my 50's I realize I could live in one room if I ever needed to. Definitely not something I would want to do, but life has taught me that I could. I always feel blessed no matter where I find myself.
That's funny, I was just thinking how huge her house is! I guess your perspective changes depending on where you come from. My 2 bed house is about 700sqf ( in the UK) and it's definitely a challenge trying to find storage solutions for everything when just basic furniture takes up so much room.
I was thinking that’s not small at all, we have a 1000 sq ft home family of five. Our one and only bathroom is just big enough for shower/bath toilet and sink 😂 we keep the clutter low though so it stays clean!
I just absolutely love your house and organization. My appartment fits at least 5x into your house 😂 and I still do have a lot of stuff, but your organization is so great. As I said before ... We do need a Container Store over here in the Netherlands 😊
I can empathize with the pet sitting scenario! I'm currently houses sitting for friends for 2 months. There are 2 dogs, a cat and a parrot and I WILL NOT be doing this again! Nearly driving me nuts! I also see that you use Norwex cloths, mops, etc. One of my daughters sells Norwex products and I think most of them are great! Some don't really work for me, but for the most part I find them useful. I haven't been around to watch you for some time and notice that you've lost part of your former self. When I last watched, you were embarking on a weight loss journey and I see it was successful. Good for you!
Cas the house is looking amazing. You really went gung ho with the closet systems and that’s amazing it’s working for everyone. The laundry room looks fantastic too. I can’t believe you are surviving the dog sitting. Everything really looks so good. I wanted to suggest painting your kitchen cabinets again. Or atleast the top ones a lighter color. I think you’ll fall in love with your kitchen again. It’s ok that the railings and doors are dark but I think the instant light and brightness in the kitchen would make you feel super happy. I remember when I switched from black appliances to stainless the lighter brighter color made a huge difference instantly. You don’t need to do appliances but the dark cabinet doors are waiting for project Cas to appear.
Ah Cas, u make me laugh....the amount of times u said, my small, house,office,kitchen,2nd lounge,.....u would fall over if u saw the size of average UK homes! your tiny office looks like a huge room to me lol :) xx
🤣right! "Small 9×10' room" is actually a decent size for a home office in most countries. Because we usually don't even have a spare room to convert to an office.
@@cb9825 In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and finally room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
Thank god it’s not just me thinking that. Wish my house was as small lol *wanders off to declutter her one built in cupboard again in hopes of eventually being able to hide the hoover in it…*
@@lindseydavey6043 hahaha, same! no where to even hide ya mop, or hoover over here! Would love some of those American closets in our homes, would be fab!
Thanks for inviting us into your home. its beautiful and so much space. I think my whole place is 647 sqft. in need of storage space. Lovr Hidden storage in tables i havd storage cubby stools for linen and quilt snd a folding ottoman I refinished for artsupplies. my entryway feels it needs that cute black cabinet you have. toomany misc items that need homes Cute little furry additions my little senior yorkir needs a lift but I don't mind ..hes a minimalist with 1 fav monkey
I love your house! It looks bigger than 1400 sq ft! Was the downstairs family room/spare room originally a basement? Is it also included in the square footage? I love how some houses look bigger than their actual footage, and some look smaller than actual footage. It's fascinating how the layout can change the feel/space of the house! Thanks for the inspiration!
@@Clutterbug That is awesome! It doubles the amount of square footage. Great idea of utilizing the basement for extra square footage. I also like how it has bigger windows for a basement.
You have a beautiful home. I’ve eliminated all visible storage (baskets, buckets etc). If it can’t fit in my cabinets or other hidden storage spaces that means I need to declutter more. I’ve had the donation truck over 10x the last few month. I’ve decluttered so much I have now have tons of space. I’ve removed excess throw pillows as well it really helped simplify my home and made it feel much cleaner. I’ve realized no matter how much Storage solutions I have it doesn’t help all that much when I still just have too much stuff!
Chihuahuas aren't friendly dogs unless they're socialized and a TON of time is spent training them, and they are by far a very needy breed. Very good advice - both on the organizing systems and the dog sitting for a month!
Holy smokes! 4 1/3 minutes in and I’m floored by all the square footage she has. Her daughter has her own bathroom! She has a “such a small room” for a separate office!! Not everyone has that!
I was surprised at this too, especially when she said it was only 1400 sq/ft, maybe she made an error there. I think it would be easier to be organized too, if I had a mudroom, laundry room and office, and her kitchen is huge compared to mine and others. All my rooms have to be multi-functional and that eats up organization space per category.
The kids rooms are all about 10x10. The master is about 12x10 and the bathroom is TINY. The downstairs suite was meant to be an inlaw suite. Edit: I was eyeballing. They're even smaller. It's a split level with many teeeeeeny rooms. Don't be fooled by the wide angle lens needed to see the whole room. It really is a small house.
Thanq for the video I've given up pleading with my husband for more shelves in our pantry, we've got one VERY small shelf. Which he says is more than enough.
Would love to see more organising tricks for apartments, as I don't think two living rooms, three bathrooms, a mudroom and a laundry room means having a small house 🤣 It's gorgeous, but it's definitely not small.
I've learned so much from you. My kitchen also only has my coffee maker and food lol. I wish I could send you pictures of what I've transformed with your tips. You are so right, my pantry looks amazing all the time.
Your house is AMAZING! I love your content and have found so much help in decluttering our home from watching your videos. My home is 1150 sq ft. and there are 6 adults living here. (my daughter, son in law and 3 grandchildren 24, 21, and 19) I am finding if you don't have too much stuff even a small home is perfect!

Even the maximalists in London have smaller homes but they curate their stuff so that the space is filled with things they love which are also beautiful. As William Morris said, Have nothing in your home that is not useful or beautiful! This is what I’ve been trying to do. Organising is really for those with too much stuff and time!
Absolutely loved this video! Great insight on how to manage areas that are cluttered and inspiration to do it! Thank you!
I wasn't able to get REALLY organized until I decluttered a bunch of stuff I wasn't using. Once I had extra space, then I could setup systems.
This is "My kinda home",.....SIMPLE & STYLISH AND BEEEAUTIFUL!!!Her house is so spick and span,so clean and well organized,definitely better than most of the"big houses",of Richie rich ppl.i love ur house,dearie!!!👍👍👍👍💜
Absolutely gorgeous (and you’re wrong here) Pinterest worthy home! 💕Love all the organization and practicality of it. And! From a European point of view, your house IS HUGE;) I am constantly inspired and by your genius ideas and entertained by your bubbly, happy personality. Thank you, Cas🙏🏻🎈❤️
You're welcome!
Since you don’t love your kitchen maybe changing your kitchen appliances for stainless steel for now. The white tends to stick out more with dark tones. You could sale the ones you have to go towards some gently used one, or scratch and dent. This way you wouldn’t have to spend a lot. But if you have the finances to buy new then buy all together do get even more savings than you would individually. 😊
Oh btw your home looks so much bigger than you said. I like your home. Been a fan of yours for years love your material and your show!
Your home is beautiful, I really hope you can do a series with someone from Europe because our homes are so small in comparison. My laundry room is a walkway to my downstairs bathroom and it is a luxury as usually our washing machines are in the kitchen! Some of the bedrooms I’ve had have just enough room to shimmy around the bed. I’ve just bought a new house and my bedroom is too small for a wardrobe (we have no closets). My art room is crammed 😬If you ever feel like a challenge you know where I am 😂
So agree! I'm from the UK, and my home is half the size of Cass's. Tiny kitchen in which I have my washing machine. Tumble dryer is in a cupboard! No laundry room, no utility, no basement, no pantry, no garage. With all respect to these lovely ladies like Cass, Dawn and Dana, etc; I think WE could show them a thing or two about decluttering and organising!
@@supergran1000 absolutely could! I’m quite organised tbh, it is just tight. My main issue with UK homes is that they have odd walls. We have a chimney in our 70s house which means the sofa only fits in one place and no room in the master bedroom for a wardrobe. Windows only have about 20 cm of wall either side so built in cabinets in any room would block the windows. Total nightmare for storage options.
Chihuahuas are the second most difficult breed I deal with. The only worse breed is a dachshund. You are an adorable saint. That is a huge commitment. I love that your house is designed for the actual people who live there. Lovely!!!
I love so much about this video. I love that you have a behind-door storage system in your laundry room that lets you store your cleaning supplies and still open the door fully. I love that you noted how you converted a closet into a pantry -- I struggle most with figuring out better uses for my space and it's so tough to think outside the box of what an area of the home was originally made for. It really helps me to see examples so I can start thinking more creatively about what will work in my home. Thank you so much for sharing these detailed videos. Really appreciate your time and your help!
You're so welcome!
I love,how your house looks now.the childrens rooms are on top 😁 but your laundry room is so sweet!! My kitchen is from April 1980 😂 the colour is sand- beige,also neutral. Best wishes from germany, Heike 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
What a fun tour! But my favorite part was you showing love to the cute pups with their special problems!❤️
:)
Very motivational! You have done such a great job with 1400 square feet!
I love all of the examples for storage! Thank you so very much for sharing❣️
The only channel where I watch every video from beginning to end🎉
Your organization is glorious, beautiful, functional, wonderful, and definitely Pinterest-worthy! Now, I want an in-depth tour of every drawer and cabinet to see what's in there, and how it's all stored.
No matter what system anyone has, people have to put things back, and put things in the right places. Even an easy system has to be maintained, and the house tidied up, which your family obviously does well!
One good thing about painting all the woodwork black, is that you don't have to notice all the dust and dirt, unless you want to every six months! instead of every month like me and the cream-colored woodwork on a greasy, dusty, busy street! THank you for so many wonderful ideas, especially having a stash of purchase gift cards to give away! I never thot of that!
love the baking cabinet and wondering if you have a link for the conversion table? I love your house and how tidy it is !!
I wish you lived closer so you could help me. I have no idea what to do. Everything is adequate though the kitchen is far too small. Nothing has any spark to it. No one else cares. Thank you for your cheerfulness and great ideas.
I love your channel
Love your top
That red cape coat with the updo and big earrings! Gorgeous outfit that looks so great on her. It just pops against the light blue background.
Yes, love the look too, especially the red cape!
Thank you so much!!
This is most definitely my idea of a Pinterest worthy home. I love every part of your style! And I have to add...I know you're a ladybug and I love that you are dressed like one too! At least the colors LOL! Thank you for this tour. Your home is GORGEOUS!!! So inspiring!
The dogs are sooooo adorable! So sweet
I am OBSESSED with your house! I have my walls painted that blue color too!!! 🤩
Great Tour Cas! Love that you have a normal home and that you’ve made it work for you & your family! Very encouraging to see and I got some good ideas!
You are so much fun. Yes, I need some help organizing. The first thing I am going to do is walk around the house and get rid of the paper, old bottles of cosmetics and then make a pile for giving away. I was a librarian (I am retired now) so, that is the one thing I cannot get rid of....books. We are going to put some new bookcases in the living room. The ones we have are not sufficient for our books. I also collect ones that I read as a child. There are books everywhere. Well, once in a while, I get rid of a cookbook or a paperback book, but each one is a treasure to me. I can give up other bits and bobs. If jewelry is referred to as bobs, then that will stay. Thank you for your encouragement and all the tips.
This was so satisfying to watch! Also, I'm totally gonna start storing my measuring cups on the back of my cabinet door, love that idea. Also love the printout of the measurements.
Me too! And I'm going to turn my hall closet into a pantry :)
I need u to come help me organize lol I try but it’s overwhelming sometimes,I love your beautiful organized home
Thank you for sharing your home with me. seeing all the different ways to have storage gave me really great ideas.
I have a Chihuahua that sounds just like Bandit. No sudden moves. And the desire to snuggle but then 2 seconds later bite your head off is perplexing. But that is a Chihuahua I guess. Lol. They certainly pick their favorites and just somewhat tolerate anyone else. 😂
Love your home!
Practicality is over-the-top!!
You have a good eye for amenities!
So pleasing, and much inspiration for me!!
Blessings, Lyn W, Nampa ID 💜
Your kitchen is BEAUTIFUL 😍
Love your home and your great organizing tips. A place for everything and every thing in its place is my GOAL. Thank you for sharing with us and helping us to make our homes more efficient and more peaceful and less stressful.❤️
You are so welcome!
Love this final advice 😂😂😂
Wow! Such a lovely home ! Your simple organization concepts are easy to follow! Your video style is so fun to watch 😃
The length of this video pleases me. 😅😁🥰
Love your home, and all of your organizing solutions! I’m so glad the dogs are growing on you, and hopefully you’re growing on them also!
You are super organized!😃😃😃
Thank you for sharing your organized and beautiful home with us ! ❤️
I honestly thumbs up bc of the end of the video lol. Book yourself a vacation 😂. My daughter always wants us to bring my parents dog over to spend the night, and I’m like girl I’m barely watching you! Lol
Lol!
Your house is beautiful ❤Thank you for sharing! 😊
I am so glad that you and the Chi's are 'sort-of' friends now. I love dogs and owned/fostered for a lot of my life, but have no dogs ourselves now and definitely say no to any holiday care/fostering. We have an elderly cat with dementia and 2 rescue guinea pigs, and that is more than enough for me at this stage of my life.
I love your home!! You have a nice sized downstairs and have utilized your space spectacularly!! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤
Wow. I just love every part of your house, beautiful, organized but so functional. My dream! A place for everything and everything in its place! Do you ever come to IL to help people organize?
I love love love your poncho! I’m currently knitting myself one. You are inspirational to me in so many ways❤️
Chi’s are the best!!
I had a min pin that used to bite everyone…… but everyone loved him because he had a lot of personality.
Love at first bite!!
Lol
Beautiful! I didn't expect how small your house is. It makes me feel like I can do more in my 1200 sq ft townhouse
(edit- a lot of people think this is pretty big! i guess we're just spoiled for space in australia)
Don't forget she has tons of extra square footage in the basement that allows for several more rooms. She still does an amazing job with small spaces.
you guys make me laugh, I cnt believe u guys think that is small, to me its Huge! lol. I think everything is just much smaller in the UK by comparison.
In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and final room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
@@BLK2000 that sounds like New York city living in the US. That's a true challenge with small space living. I've lived in large and very small homes over the years. One thing I've learned is that if you have more space you fill it up. If you have less space you get rid of things, and learn to live with less. In most situations you find a way to organize it to make it livable for your family. Most often one room will wear many different hats. It just depends on what the current need is. Making it to my 50's I realize I could live in one room if I ever needed to. Definitely not something I would want to do, but life has taught me that I could. I always feel blessed no matter where I find myself.
That's funny, I was just thinking how huge her house is! I guess your perspective changes depending on where you come from. My 2 bed house is about 700sqf ( in the UK) and it's definitely a challenge trying to find storage solutions for everything when just basic furniture takes up so much room.
I was thinking that’s not small at all, we have a 1000 sq ft home family of five. Our one and only bathroom is just big enough for shower/bath toilet and sink 😂 we keep the clutter low though so it stays clean!
Your home is beautiful & well organized! Would have loved to see your bathrooms & porch or deck too!
I just absolutely love your house and organization. My appartment fits at least 5x into your house 😂 and I still do have a lot of stuff, but your organization is so great. As I said before ... We do need a Container Store over here in the Netherlands 😊
Also in Germany ;-)
UK as well 😅
@@taraa3456 In the UK as well. My house is miniscule in comparison.
Very Geogous home and organizater
Thank you for letting us into your home. Following your videos has changed my life! I’m so thankful for you!
I can empathize with the pet sitting scenario! I'm currently houses sitting for friends for 2 months. There are 2 dogs, a cat and a parrot and I WILL NOT be doing this again! Nearly driving me nuts! I also see that you use Norwex cloths, mops, etc. One of my daughters sells Norwex products and I think most of them are great! Some don't really work for me, but for the most part I find them useful. I haven't been around to watch you for some time and notice that you've lost part of your former self. When I last watched, you were embarking on a weight loss journey and I see it was successful. Good for you!
Super organized and great systems! Very inspired!
BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS DEFINITELY PINTEREST-WORTHY HOME!!! 😍🥰😍
Thank you so much!!
Love your house! I would love to get my house organized and declutter. Thanks for sharing!
Cas the house is looking amazing. You really went gung ho with the closet systems and that’s amazing it’s working for everyone. The laundry room looks fantastic too. I can’t believe you are surviving the dog sitting. Everything really looks so good. I wanted to suggest painting your kitchen cabinets again. Or atleast the top ones a lighter color. I think you’ll fall in love with your kitchen again. It’s ok that the railings and doors are dark but I think the instant light and brightness in the kitchen would make you feel super happy. I remember when I switched from black appliances to stainless the lighter brighter color made a huge difference instantly. You don’t need to do appliances but the dark cabinet doors are waiting for project Cas to appear.
Your house looks so great! I love the way you have it decorated!
Aw, thanks!
I loveeeed Abby’s room
So glad to have a professional reinforce my belief that throw pillows are a necessity🥰Loved the end smile😃Tyfs❤🙏🏾
Oh my gosh, Cas, your house is amazing! I would love to get to a point like this but I'm so far from it.
Ditto!
I feel it took some time to figure all this out. Just one step at a time.
Your house is beautiful period. God bless you and thank you for sharing. Watching from Zambia in Africa. Learning so much from you.
Ah Cas, u make me laugh....the amount of times u said, my small, house,office,kitchen,2nd lounge,.....u would fall over if u saw the size of average UK homes! your tiny office looks like a huge room to me lol :) xx
🤣right! "Small 9×10' room" is actually a decent size for a home office in most countries. Because we usually don't even have a spare room to convert to an office.
@@cb9825 In the UK we have bedrooms nicknamed ''the box room'' - usually the 3rd and finally room to the family house, above the stairs, >6ft x >6ft.... Cosy :)
Thank god it’s not just me thinking that. Wish my house was as small lol *wanders off to declutter her one built in cupboard again in hopes of eventually being able to hide the hoover in it…*
@@lindseydavey6043 hahaha, same! no where to even hide ya mop, or hoover over here! Would love some of those American closets in our homes, would be fab!
Thanks for inviting us into your home. its beautiful and so much space. I think my whole place is 647 sqft. in need of storage space.
Lovr Hidden storage in tables
i havd storage cubby stools for linen and quilt snd a folding ottoman I refinished for artsupplies.
my entryway feels it needs that cute black cabinet you have.
toomany misc items that need homes
Cute little furry additions
my little senior yorkir needs a lift but I don't mind ..hes a minimalist with 1 fav monkey
I love your house! It looks bigger than 1400 sq ft! Was the downstairs family room/spare room originally a basement? Is it also included in the square footage? I love how some houses look bigger than their actual footage, and some look smaller than actual footage. It's fascinating how the layout can change the feel/space of the house! Thanks for the inspiration!
It's 1400, not including the basement. The family room, laundry room, office and Izzy's room are all in the basement.
So, it's really more like 2400 Sq ft?
@@Clutterbug That is awesome! It doubles the amount of square footage. Great idea of utilizing the basement for extra square footage. I also like how it has bigger windows for a basement.
That explains it! I have a 1290 sq ft apartment and I was watching this going why can’t I make my place look so big 😅
@@Clutterbug so it's actually a pretty good sized house for 5 people. Try living in a 1100 sf house with 6 people and maybe not complain so much 🤷🏻♀️
You have a beautiful home. I’ve eliminated all visible storage (baskets, buckets etc). If it can’t fit in my cabinets or other hidden storage spaces that means I need to declutter more. I’ve had the donation truck over 10x the last few month. I’ve decluttered so much I have now have tons of space. I’ve removed excess throw pillows as well it really helped simplify my home and made it feel much cleaner. I’ve realized no matter how much Storage solutions I have it doesn’t help all that much when I still just have too much stuff!
TRUE!
Chihuahuas aren't friendly dogs unless they're socialized and a TON of time is spent training them, and they are by far a very needy breed. Very good advice - both on the organizing systems and the dog sitting for a month!
We are 5 adults in 1100 square feet with no basement. It is really tight.
Cas your home is beautiful ♥️ Clutter Threshold is real and it’s different for everyone ❤
Holy smokes! 4 1/3 minutes in and I’m floored by all the square footage she has. Her daughter has her own bathroom! She has a “such a small room” for a separate office!! Not everyone has that!
I was surprised at this too, especially when she said it was only 1400 sq/ft, maybe she made an error there. I think it would be easier to be organized too, if I had a mudroom, laundry room and office, and her kitchen is huge compared to mine and others. All my rooms have to be multi-functional and that eats up organization space per category.
The kids rooms are all about 10x10. The master is about 12x10 and the bathroom is TINY. The downstairs suite was meant to be an inlaw suite.
Edit: I was eyeballing. They're even smaller. It's a split level with many teeeeeeny rooms. Don't be fooled by the wide angle lens needed to see the whole room. It really is a small house.
Thanq for the video
I've given up pleading with my husband for more shelves in our pantry, we've got one VERY small shelf. Which he says is more than enough.
Would love to see more organising tricks for apartments, as I don't think two living rooms, three bathrooms, a mudroom and a laundry room means having a small house 🤣 It's gorgeous, but it's definitely not small.
It sounds like a lot of rooms, but 1400 sq feet for 5 people seems pretty tight to me. You have to be smart with every space.
I've learned so much from you. My kitchen also only has my coffee maker and food lol. I wish I could send you pictures of what I've transformed with your tips. You are so right, my pantry looks amazing all the time.
My sister is the queen of 20 million bottles all over the counter.
I appreciate how open and transparent you are. Thank you. And God bless you
You are so welcome!
Your house is AMAZING! I love your content and have found so much help in decluttering our home from watching your videos. My home is 1150 sq ft. and there are 6 adults living here. (my daughter, son in law and 3 grandchildren 24, 21, and 19) I am finding if you don't have too much stuff even a small home is perfect!
