    I know these are a few years old, but I just found your videos a week ago and have been binge watching them. I always thought I was organized and have some systems in place that work for me. A few are similar to yours but now I'm going to follow your suggestions and ideas and spruce up what I got going on in my apartment. I just don't have some of the space you do but that entrance closet is a definite DO I can copy! Thanks!!

    This video is so awesome, and comes just in time for the winter! My coat closet has been driving me nuts. I am definitely going to utilize all of your "back of the door" tips. I especially loved the door pocket, and the reusable bag ideas. I have been wondering what to do with my reusable bags for awhile now. They are just shoved in the back of one of my cabinets! Thanks for being you and doing what you do!

    Alejandra, you have resolved yet another issue for me with your dedicated hooks. I love my over-the-door hook (two rows of five hooks designed with longer & shorter hooks) & use it for hanging up damp coats, scarves, umbrellas, shopping bags, etc. But, I get frustrated when trying to get at things that beneath others. I'm going to follow your lead with dedicated hooks for umbrellas, storage bags, etc.

  • @sellyourhomenowbook
    @sellyourhomenowbook 9 місяців тому

    Excellent ideas! I'm going to use the reuseable grocery bags idea, thank you! And the possibly the dry cleaning bag. Just loving the video. My front hall closet is also my cleaning closet, so I'm trying to lol fix that. And what's amazing is I got an idea lol on something in my hall closet that is unrelated to this video lol, how to use something extra in there elsewhere.

    @babsr8479 8 років тому

    I love your videos and have recently been looking at some of your older videos for more ideas. I live in an apt. so I have much less space; for example the bottom (sides & back as well) of my coat closet has boxes, so even though I Love the idea of drawers below I have no space for them. I also cannot close closets if I put over the door hooks. I might try some command hooks for the shoe pockets, just for light stuff. I wish you did apt organization videos.

    New subscriber! Alejandra, you have excellent ideas for organizing your home. All of your tips are achievable on any budget. I can't believe you have been on UA-cam for three years now. I didn't know. Why didn't UA-cam recommend your channel to me sooner? I wish UA-cam would provide me with more good viewing recommendations such as this channel. Usually, UA-cam only recommends poor quality content. Like yourself, I love organizing, color, and interior design! This channel is right up my alley. Thanks again! Keep up the good work!

I like all your suggestions and have used the command hooks on the side of the wall and I put 2 of the plastic 3 drawer containers and labeled them.

    @PrettyGirlGrace0417 9 років тому

    Hello Alejandra! I was wondering if you would do a video on ways to keep your car organized with small children and possibly another video on a laundry routine (washing and ironing) that will keep dirty clothes from piling up. I like to iron and hang my clothes as soon as they're done drying but it seems so time consuming and if I'm not careful my dirty laundry can quickly get out of control.
