Michelle, it looks beautiful and the locations you chose make so much sense. However, I have one suggestion---to move the spices to one of the empty drawers to the left of their current one. The heat and moisture generated by the oven and stovetop will make the spices deteriorate and lose their "oomph" faster, and good spices are expensive to begin with! Since you have those extra drawers available, you can still the spice collection near the stove, as you mentioned you prefer, just a little bit more protected from temperature and moisture fluctuations. (And, I know others already suggested it, but keeping the spices all together and in alphabetical order is such a time and money saver! No more coming home with another jar of cardamom only to discover that you had one still 3/4 full in the "for tea" basket that you didn't see because you only checked in the "for baking" basket!)
Talk about weird… lol I am watching video now and went to comment the same exact thing and your comment is the very first one I see. Lol We have a rv and I can’t leave spices in there cause of the heat. They turn into a hard rock!
I would remove the shelf behind the baking sheets so you can turn it. Just a thought. I love all your organizing. You guys have inspired me to get more organized. Thanks a bunch!
I love all the organization vlogs! It gives me ideas when I move back into my condo after a fire that my neighbor below me started back in January. It moved up to my condo. One good thing about the fire is that I get an almost new condo. All new cabinets, counter tops, appliances in the kitchen. new flooring and paint throughout. Hopefully I’ll be moving back in next month! It’s been a weird 2021 for me.
As someone who is moving house this year I really appreciate your videos....lots of great ideas. Also the fact that you have extra slippers is priceless, speaks to your priorities 😂😘
I never thought I would be able to stay organized after having kids. Because everyone told me once I did all of that would go down the drain and I wouldn’t have time to keep things tidy. Well, here I am. Two kids later and still as organized as ever. Kids are thriving and I am happy. You can do it beautiful people!
Awesome! And welcome to Austin! One suggestion...Move the spices one drawer away from the oven. Heat from the oven may cause some spices to expire too quickly. And now...I need to go back to my kitchen and incorporate some of YOUR fabulous ideas!
Thanks for the suggestion Beth! Honestly, our spices that are in the jars pretty much all came from Aldi and cost $1 each 😂 We will consider moving them though! I'm happy you were able to get some new ideas!
Love it! One suggestion is shelf and drawer liner, (so many beautiful designs to choose from). Lining really saves the finish of the woodwork and makes clean up easier.
You have very relaxed things in your kitchen. Pots and pans that just "hang out" and assorted kitchen things that are "just chillin". 😅 Billy "We have never reinforced our holes." His tone was So funny! Lol! Seriously though, what a very well organized house.
Back up slippers for the win! I also like to keep a pair upstairs and a pair downstairs, depending upon where I am when I realize I'd love to be wearing slippers.
I love it!! My mom is a professional organizer so I grew up in a house like this! Also don’t be ashamed for the amount of containers in the previous video, we have shelf to shelf real Tupperware. It has a lifetime warranty!
I like to see your video. You have an organized sense and everything look neat and clean. I want to apply these sense into my real life so much (even I have any closer to online teaching jobs).
These spaces are lovely. Thank you for sharing this! I have a basket at the end of my bed for my not-quite-clean clothes too! I should try to make a space in my closet, what a great idea!
This is amazing! I might put the paper towels on the top shelf and move the tp to the bottom 2 shelves - easier to reach. You are definitely more skilled at organizing, however. Love the video!
i look up to your sense of organization in so many ways!! i also love how your junk drawer is just another perfectly neat drawer 🥲 goes to show how your life is so put together ❤️❤️
Your house is beautiful and well-organized. Don’t you just hate waiting on other items in order to feel like everything is complete? Michelle, I have a bin in my closet for clothes that aren’t dirty that I plan on wearing again. I also have a hook in my bathroom for lounge ware that can be worn again. My husband and I both have “backup” slippers. 🤣 Your hair is long and gorgeous!
This is so good! You have done a great job of editing and improvising (love the board game and DVD setup)! You have given me some ideas especially under my sink because it is a hot mess! I’m so glad I have The Container Store near my place to help me edit and keep me organized!
This is my first time on your channel. Wow are you organized. I could never open my drawers or closet for anyone to see. BUT you have motivated me to start with my stuff. I was even taking notes while you were talking. Thank you for doing such a fabulous job and being such a wonderful speaker. BTW your house is beautiful!!
Great job Michelle. What about unscrewing and removing the back shelf where your baking trays and wire wracks are so you can put them in length ways and then you can free up half a unit?
@@laurenpigott885 i put mine vertically and half a half shelf in the back and they fit, it is a smaller cabinet only like 12" wide, so the shelf in back has pie plates that I can still get too
Suggestion for the flip drawer at the kitchen sink for sponges, etc. Can you attach the plastic bin/case lower to fit your favorite sponge? It looks like it fits widthwise, but not the height. If you could lower the plastic part, it would give you the height you need. (You probably already tried that, but I thought that I would mention it.) Nice video. Super affirming of my kitchen flow & organization. 👍😁
I’d like to suggest swapping the rubbermaid/tupperwares for food storage with the less used kitchen items (chopper/processor). Just thought it would be easier when storing food and moving around that area.
Great job organizing in such a quick amount of time. I have a I'm gonna wear it again pile too😊. When Billy said, "We have never reinforced our holes" 😂had me laughing along with the clip that was inserted.😂😂😅 All I can say is Wow!!👍
I wish I could pay you to come to my chaotic apartment of 6 people (2 adults and 4 boys) and just organize the mess of it. I wish I had the time, the patience and no anxiety when it comes to organizing. I love your videos and I can't wait to see what's next of your beautiful home.
This was awesome! I organize my clothes the same way, category and by color. This will be super helpful when I move in with my fiancé this year! I’m all into the organization!
I loved this! A suggestion I have for those wires that are loose is that if you buy bread from the store, you could save the twist ties to wrap your cords! Or maybe you could just buy twist ties somewhere cheap. That’s what my bf showed me to organize my wires better and it’s been great! :)
I feel like every educator I know is moving to Texas!!! Seriously. A ton of my professor colleagues just moved there. Happy moving and loved all the organizational tips. I live in California and our houses are much smaller here 😂
totally agree with you! organization = happiness for me too 🥰🤓 I literally spend a few mins every morning and evening putting everything back in it's place. Brings joy to me especially as an online educator working from home these days.
I organize my clothes like you! From left to right: blazers and jackets, cardigans and sweaters, collared long-sleeve shirts, collarless long-sleeve shirts, collared short-sleeved, etc. down to spaghetti strap camisoles. I have stacked rods, so below those, I have all the dress pants, casual pants, midi skirts, and shorter skirts. Dresses and long coats are on a different (single and higher) rod and below them, my most used handbags. Within each category, items are organized by ROYGBV colors, but since I keep a wardrobe capsule and a personal color palette, everything looks extra harmonious. There's only black, gray, beige, white, reds, greens, blues, and purples. I wish I could say the rest of the house is equally organized...but it's not. My only "sustained systems" are in my spice drawer and the daily (capsule) wardrobe closet. I need to do a massive declutter before I can organize the rest!
If it helps, we hung our cooling racks on the inside of the cabinet door with eye hooks, and the cookie sheets can go into the warming tray of our oven if you have one and don't use it for anything - that will give you most of the cabinet back.
You did an amazing job! I just bought a home last month and watching this video will inspire me to minimize/organize! Congratulations on your new home!
I can binge on the organization videos all day long! Have you ever considered becoming a professional organizer? Love your videos! Have a wonderful day! 🌈
We bought one of those plant litter boxes as well. However, I decided to do the pantry idea you shred on a previous video. I was just worried about the smell. I wound up getting a Litter Robot after watching a lot of reviews. It is the best litter box we have ever had. The plant box is now a cat bed.
What about taking the cookie sheet organizer and placing it on its side? Then it would hold the sheets horizontally and maybe they would tuck under the shelf? Easier to pull out from the front??
I want to be this organized! I am more like Joey from friends, (I noticed your FRIENDS seasons in your DVDs) when he gives the tour of his apt to Phoebe and eventually Rachel after their apt fire...."Right here is where I keep the pizza (points) & thats where the napkin is (Points to the floor)"
just a suggestion, but if possible, it might be easier to lay down the cookie sheet organizer so that you could just pull them out instead of reaching from the other side. love the organization though!
I think we have the exact same design of kitchen cabinets. I could not ever find a way to organize my baking sheets and had them exactly like you have yours now. It was so frustrating! I love how you have organized your things! I wish I was as organized as you!
My daughter introduced me to your channel. Love your organization ideas. So helpful! Also, I love what you did to your tile floor! Painted? What a great idea! (If that's what you indeed did.) :). Best of luck to you in your new home and state!
5:40 is my favorite part by far 😍 Why? Because all the houses I work in (I work in home health), plus my own home…..all have extremely unorganized spaces for pots and pans, and it just about drives me nuts. I love your organized system you’ve got going on!
I love your drawer organizers…I wonder if my Aldi has the ones you showed! 😍 I love how you organized everything! You currently have me questioning my system. I keep pots and pans down low and I keep food storage containers up high. 🤔 Let us know how it’s going or if you switch things up. It is so interesting to see how other people set up their kitchens and pantries. Great video!
I feel ya on this but sometimes a small house keeps you from getting too much "stuff." I lived in a studio in downtown SD for a long time during grad school and it kept me from needing to buy a ton of furniture which saved me some money.

Teachers by nature are organized but she brings it to a whole new level!🙂
😅😅😅yea
Not this teacher lol but I'm trying to learn
Organization does not come naturally to this teacher.
@@jmontoya84 ha ha
I thought I was organized until I watched her video!!
yes yes totally agree! I'm super crazy organized about everything in my house right down my book shelf being ordered by color coding 😝
Never in my life have I seen someone this organized so soon after a move 😳 Great tips!
Thank you so much Bailey!
i feel like everyone has a “it’s not dirty yet” spot for clothes. mine is a random chair in my room
Yes! We try not to leave ours on the chair in our bedroom or else the cats will turn them into their bed 😂
Hi miss ferre its mark in 6th grade now
Same but mine is draped over the side of my laundry hamper
I totally have a place that I put clothes that aren’t quite dirty too. So, either it’s normal or we are both weird.
I use my over-the-door hanger for that same purpose 😄
I'm going to try this. It's a great idea!
haha... before this video I thought I was the only one
I have a whole pile of those clothes… 🤦🏽♀️
Top of my dresser in the closet...not very organized lol🤪
This is insane! I wish I was this organized!

wow!!! so organized but the best thing I liked about your stuff is that you do not have anything that you do not need.Great job!!
I would use the one empty drawer for your oven mitts and pads!
I love your videos! I watch them like a new Netflix series that I've been waiting on for months....so many great ideas!!
I’m so jealous of your Rae Dunn collection. I love it!
I love it! Makes my teacher heart happy!!
This organization is a thing of beauty!!!
I never thought I would be able to stay organized after having kids. Because everyone told me once I did all of that would go down the drain and I wouldn’t have time to keep things tidy.

Michelle! I am LIVING for house content. I wanna see it all hahaha! So glad you’re living your best life!
Thank you so much Sydney! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying it! We're having the best time as homeowners!
@@PocketfulofPrimary We just moved into our house in April, so I’m definitely right there with you! It is so so fun! ❤️
I organize my clothes the same way y oh do!! it’s literally life changing. Anywho, give me all the organizational videos 😫❤️
I thought I was the only one who had the "Someday I will wear this" Bin 😂 And I am pretty sure some more people have the same thing!
I'm glad it isn't just me! 😂 Usually the bin just ends up full of clothes and I grab them all at the end of the week and wash them 😂😂😂
@@PocketfulofPrimary Makes since 😂, I have some clothes in there that have been in there for 1 month 😳 But sometimes you cant be that organized 🤷♀️

How can one be so organized my God!! This is so lovely gal.
Highly recommend the kitchen aid mixer cabinet stand!
Ideas about reorganizing my pantry and kitchen cabinets are swimming happily in my head.
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm going to tackle my bathroom.
Love it! One suggestion is shelf and drawer liner, (so many beautiful designs to choose from). Lining really saves the finish of the woodwork and makes clean up easier.
Oh! And also, there is a hair tools organizer that fixes to the inside of you cabinet door, it's where can put your hair dryer and irons. I love mine.
Love the lifestyle content!! Can’t wait for the house tour!
You have very relaxed things in your kitchen. Pots and pans that just "hang out" and assorted kitchen things that are "just chillin". 😅 Billy "We have never reinforced our holes." His tone was So funny! Lol! Seriously though, what a very well organized house.

Be still my organizational heart! Love the large turnstile under the sink. And yes to used but not dirty clothing!

I totally have a "wear again" section of my closet. I didn't have a bin, but I will soon ;).
Wow! You are so organized! Even your junk drawer looks nice and organized! Look great so far!
Great job Michelle. What about unscrewing and removing the back shelf where your baking trays and wire wracks are so you can put them in length ways and then you can free up half a unit?
could be good... I wonder if they would stand vertically in there too? hard to tell from the video.

I organize my clothes the exact same way!
