When buying velvet coated hangers be cautious of dollar tree ones. I had black ones, and I hang numerous tops to dry on hangers instead of the dryer. The dye on the cheaper hangers can rub off on your wet or damp clothes. Buy the better quality.
I won't buy velvet hangers because I don't want that fluffy stuff rubbing off all over the place. I would rather get the thin hangers of a similar design with rubberized shoulders which also helps keep clothes from sliding off.
Do the declutter before you buy any organization containers . Sometimes you have extra kitchen containers that will work well in another area . You can use cheap or free containers to see if the organization system is going to work then upgrade to nicer containers later on.
Hey Girl , thanks for that ten dollar budget. I started with $20. Went to $10. Today I put back like 4 items and I was blessed to spent $7.00. Did not miss the other items. You’re right 😮 don’t be bullied.
When I was young I automatically bought new containers/baskets if I thought I needed them. Nowadays I repurpose old containers/baskets or decorate an Amazon box w/contact paper.
We built our own home. But we built it without BIG walk in closets. Now, I can’t hoard. 😮😊 Also, don’t use cardboard boxes for storage. It attracts bugs. 😬 Love your video !
I loved 🥰 your video, and how you were able to keep it within a budget. It makes a big difference. Trust me. Nowadays everything is so expensive. That if you don’t have enough change, you cant make your purchase. Back in the day, the dollar bill 💵 was worth more, that if you didn’t have enough change, the cashiers would let you slide. Now it’s crazy, everything is so expensive. Thanks😊 you are my motivation to staying organized. 👍👍
I splurged (for my budget it’s a splurge!) on $20 sunglasses that are made to specifically fit over Rx glasses. Polaroid or Foster Grant maybe. It’s wonderful to not have them slipping around while driving. I had always bought dollar tree sunglasses before.
Declutter first! Then organize what remains. If something comes into the house, something needs to leave. This has helped me more than anything...and I'm a quilter with a stash😂😂😂 Buy new shoes..donate a pair. Something comes in, something goes out. Doesn't have to be the same thing, but something has to go. Organizing before decluttering just hides the real problem.
@@kathrynboseman5249 lol I too am a quilter. I use to work at a major fabric store, and got sale and clearance fabric pennies on the dollar. At one time I had my stash in black lock top garbage cans. Lol. So I know what you are saying.
I've rescued several things from my neighbors usually the night before trash pickup. When I lived in Northwest Montana everyone took everything to the dump. As an unwritten rule, you would dump trash in the dumpster and stuff that could be reused by someone was left to the side. I got a full set of nice China, a beautiful king size Christmas quilt and other great stuff during the 5 years I lived there. Sadly some of the dumps were encouraging people to stop this practice around the time I left in 2011.
If you are like me, I have lots of clothes mainly because while I may buy something that fits, I didn’t clear out the clothes that I didn’t wear because they weren’t comfortable, or whatever. Same with shoes - it hurt to get rid of a pair of shoes even when I refused to wear them. I am getting better but there is still plenty of room to improve
The 3 mirrors painted above laundry area... I did same thing but red, lime green and blue in kitchen where I have 4 mixed chairs painted samish for a mexican themed room!!
Others here mention decluttering first, and i cannot AGREE enough! Id also add, if you have something at home, even a cardboard box that seems to be a good size for some area, try tht out first! 🥰 Once you SEE that it works the way you like, THEN go putchase something of better quality that fits the same space and works better or more long term! Saves so much money 🤗💕 i hope that is helpful!! Good luck all!!
I actually use those little lucite bins for jewelry, they work great and stack nicely in shallow drawers. I find 3 packs of the smaller ones all the time at HomeGoods, Marshall's and TJMaxx,
I'm happy now that I have a lot less shoes & clothes. I know I can mix and match the clothes and shoes I've kept. Keeping things ORGANIZED means for me to keep it SIMPLE. 😊🎉
Think of all the money wasted to purchase all those clothes, shoes etc.. I too look back at what I purchased in the previous years and am so mad at myself. Try not to purchase anything unless emergency within a year and see what does get used up.
I looked at my closet space and kitchen drawers and cabinets. I figured out what would fit in my space bought organizers and/or totes and what fits in the organizers or totes stays. If it doesn’t fit then it goes. You need to decide what works for you to stay organized. Do you like things on kitchen counter or nothing on your kitchen counter. Number one rule - a place for everything and put everything its place when done using it. I don’t do cardboard totes but I do use cardboard kitchen organizers. The type of organizer you use will depend on where you live. Snowy blizzard areas might need a different organizer material than in a tropical climate.
I needed bedside organization. I found a oblong rectangle basket & a tissue holder cube that fit in it perfectly. The cube divides it into thirds. Glasses, pen & pencil, note tablet & light switch in front. A sturdy clear plastic sheet over the tissues to hold Clock on top of tissues. The rear has emergency flashlight & misc. items. The nightstand is less than half covered! All from 2 items I found for $4. total...
We bought a steel 3 high shelving for all our beverages. It said on there that it can safely hold 600 lbs. I don’t mind paying a little more to have something that lasts forever. And it was from the container store.
I think it's funny and cute. Definitely not a problem!😊 I'm obsessed with cardboard boxes. I hoard them! I just can't let them go! It's a problem because I find myself having to reorganize to make more room for more boxes that I may need to organize things later! My husband thinks I'm insane!😂❤
I have a great organization tip- stop over consuming . Stop filling your home. If you declutter first, often what you need to organize is minimal if anything at all. As a society we have to STOP.
I recently bought those hangers and I love them! I changed out all of our clothes except my husband’s work clothes which tend to be heavier. I haven’t done the kids’ yet but plan on it.
I like the kitty cat 🐈⬛ magnet. I would like to organize my laundry room, but I’m not as tall as you so it’s back to the drawing board. I visited the container store years ago and noticed push grocery carts that were a little bulky. Hoping they streamlined. (Especially good for people with back issues bringing groceries in the house, ……I’m hopeful.
It can actually cost nothing if you use card boxes :) Resusing what you have has two great points: saving money and helps the planet. There are tutorials out there on how to make them look nicer if you don’t like how card boxes look. But buying things to organize isn’t a hack at all.
I'd like to know what container you used for the dryer sheets. Thank you for the great ideas! I have purchased the clothes hangers to make room in my small closet.
I scored a metal plant stand on special pickup day. Went back for the pristine tabletop Christmas tree the same ppl left out and it was already gone a few minutes later. 😱 Half the stuff left out on special pickup day is gone by the time the trash collectors come. NO shame whatsoever
I know your feelings about your laundry room! My laundry area is in my master bathroom. I'd love to work on it! The one shelf over my washer and dryer is high, which needs to be bc my washing machine is a top loader. I keep giving up, especially after chasing the dust on that shelf from the dryer! I don't have a walk-in closet, lol! I only have a small laundry closet with a water heater, washer, dryer, and an ugly shelf! I took off the ugly, heavy doors bc of water damage from hot showers, and now I'm stuck with looking at this laundry room! TFHelping!❤
You can do it. Get some organizing magazines , they can give you ideas about how to organize your stuff. Or if you have the money you can hire a professional organizer to come & help you. Don't give up!@shannonskiptomylife
You said that the dollar tree hangers were the same price as the Walmart ones but then you stated that the Walmart ones were nine dollars for 30 when you could see on the package of the dollar tree ones. It says five dollars.

Great tip!
I keep some plastic hangers for drying in the laundry area. Once clothing is dry I hang them on the velvet hangers in my closet.
I won't buy velvet hangers because I don't want that fluffy stuff rubbing off all over the place. I would rather get the thin hangers of a similar design with rubberized shoulders which also helps keep clothes from sliding off.
You shouldn’t use velvet hangers for wet clothes.
@ruth410 why not?
Where have you been all my life?? Now I'm binge watching your video's !! Practical yet chic ideas!! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!

@@beckyshell4649 and in my experience, mine and others, organizing isn't the issue, having too much stuff is the real problem.
Exactly what I do. I test run a new system before spending a dime. Often, that "temporary solution" gets a promotion to "forever solution."
I disagree
I would buy several standard size bins, laundry baskets and shoebox size boxes.
Hey Girl , thanks for that ten dollar budget. I started with $20. Went to $10. Today I put back like 4 items and I was blessed to spent $7.00. Did not miss the other items. You’re right 😮 don’t be bullied.
That is awesome!
When I was young I automatically bought new containers/baskets if I thought I needed them. Nowadays I repurpose old containers/baskets or decorate an Amazon box w/contact paper.
Be careful opening Amazon boxes in the home! There is a high probability of bringing cockroaches into your home via the boxes!
@ Thanks❤️for that info.

I agree - it's tough to stay organized on a budget. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the ideas. I’m glad I’m not the only one that wears sunglasses over their glasses.
Terri funny, right?
My hubby laughs at me when I do this. I don't care. Lol
Google "fitovers". They are made to be worn with your glasses.
I splurged (for my budget it’s a splurge!) on $20 sunglasses that are made to specifically fit over Rx glasses. Polaroid or Foster Grant maybe. It’s wonderful to not have them slipping around while driving. I had always bought dollar tree sunglasses before.
I like your method of going to the store with a budget plan. It keeps us focused on what we need. 😊
It’s taken time but I’m getting better!
Great plan, but I'll do you one better. Only take the amount of cash you want to spend with you. Leave the plastic and checks at home.
@@tracyjohnson5023 totally agree! I've done this too and it works! 😃

Organizing before decluttering just hides the real problem.
I’m 58, and starting to downsize. So, 1 thing in means 2 things out !
I've always done that with underwear and sleepwear.

retiring in a couple years so really nothing is coming in at this point.
I wish you lived close! Your ideas are fantastic, thank you for making content that is usable by most!
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for all the great ideas! Hopefully I will get our closet for my husband and me organized in the near future!
You'll love how much easier it is to get dressed once you're organized!
I put stuff out for free all the time when I no longer need it. Saves me having to take it to the dump.

That's a great idea!
I love your encouragement to us!
I’m so glad I have downsized the clothes. We waste so much money on clothes and clothing waste is a huge solid waste issue globally.
I agree Julie.
Loved the encouragement at the end. I needed it. Thanks!
So glad I could help.
My friend gave me velvet covered hangers years ago for a gift. Marvelous.
I agree!
I have sun glasses over my glasses too!
I'm happy now that I have a lot less shoes & clothes. I know I can mix and match the clothes and shoes I've kept.

Love that!
Can you please do a video on how to organise fitted sheets sheets and quilt cover and pillowcases together neatly
Vicki great idea!
You should put your washer and dryer on a pedestal to add some storage space.
I love that idea! Thanks for the tip!

Oh- so you meant $10 for EACH organization purchase!

Just a bit🙊@@2002Sheer
The felt hangars at Costco are the best. 50 hangars for $9.99

Great video!!!
Thanks, Shannon!

Awesome job

I want to organise my quilt covers and sheets and pillow case together in my closet could u do a video on that
I love that idea! I'll have to add it to my list!
1:21 I bought a case of felt hangers in like 2020. Still got them and I think only one broke
Yes!
You are adorable! Really loving your videos!
Erin thanks so much!
interesting you hang the jeans........:)
Hi, thank you
Welcome!
We do not have those type of high-end thrift stores.
Shannon I like that pink tower storage did yo make that it looks like a bowl from d.tree.
Ruth yes! 3 DT bowls and 2 champagne flutes.
I was go ping to ask about that!
Awesome idea ❤️😀
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
You can get 50 velvet hangers at Sam's for 14.99 also.
Good tip!
I’ve tried those hangers myself do not like then at all! But that’s just me.
Broken so many felt hangers. 😪
I've owned each type and I'm not a fan of the velveteen-coated hangers. My preference is the inexpensive thin, white-metal hangers. Walmart, baby!
Go you!
They are difficult to put tee shirts and other small-necked items on them
There is stuff at Menards Walmart ect cheaper than Dollar Tree and better.
My Apt dont have one extra item .
From plates, cups. GlAsses , clothes. Furniture.
Disorganization drives me nuts
Sometimes you can't declutter till you know what you have. So i get it. Both have applications.
Bella is inspecting lol
Always!!
wait you already started wrong... you need to declutter not purchase different hangers. that saves you 10 bucks!
She was helping a friend. The friend will declutter her own clothes.

Put up a tension rod and curtain with grommets.

IKEA has skinny hangers 10 for 2 dollars
IKEA also has organizing with a zipper lid
Before organizing, declutter. It's the cheapest thing you can do. I ended up donating organizers that didn't work.
That is a great point. It's also a huge time saver!
You said that the dollar tree hangers were the same price as the Walmart ones but then you stated that the Walmart ones were nine dollars for 30 when you could see on the package of the dollar tree ones. It says five dollars.
Yes Annette. $5 for 15 hangers at Dollar Tree.
The headline is terribly deceptive! It's NOT $10 *total*. Instead, it's $10 NUMEROUS TIMES.
Don’t have that size closet. 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The hangers are not $10, at least not at Walmart but not to far off.
I have never cared about other people
❤😊
You garbage pick, girl I'm with you! That is the best way to recycle!!!
😊👍👋
REPEAT
Where should I shop next, Jane?
Be very careful !We are being told to only open Amazon boxes outside the home now because they carry cockroaches!
That’s definitely something to be aware of!
That's a $30 budget
Coat hangers? Seriously?
