How to Unclutter Your Life in One Week—Episode 1: Closet Organization on tasra mar TV

[christinchen]

thank you so much for the book recommendation. I looked it up instantly after watching your video and ordered it right away. I'll get to organizing my life now. So, thanks a lot :)

[kirohm93]

that was awesome. INSPIRING. I will now go destroy my closet.

[realwomenscrap]

@kirohm93 Fantastic! Destroy it!

[Shajarena]

I am going to try this but my room is very small and I do not have a lot of space.

[realwomenscrap]

@Shajarena Good luck! Having a smaller room does make it more difficult, but allows for some creative solutions! :)

[realwomenscrap]

@Shajarena Seems to be a common theme with people in smaller spaces. I know the author of the book wrote about her small apartment in New York, so it can definitely be done. Just requires more selective focus than it may require for someone in a larger space. Good luck!

I just did about 3 weeks ago. Looking at my closet made me so happy. To accomplish my task I bought an extra tall shoe caddy. It collapsed in the middle of the night a couple of days ago.. Now my closet looks like the Holocaust Museum. Oh well, back to the hardware store for an industrial strength shoe caddy.

[realwomenscrap]

@Lisa1LinenLady Oh NO! At least you had three weeks of happiness from the order and know how to create it again!

[TheeCrystalD]

Asking your husband what he does and doesn't like is actually a good idea because how awesome would it be knowing that whatever you put on, your husband thinks you look good in? Great idea and self-esteem booster!

[realwomenscrap]

@TheeCrystalD So glad it resonates with you too!

I tackled my master bedroom closet yest after watching this video.... well, @ least MY side of the closet! It looks absolutely FANTASTIC & my husband now wants 2 shape-up HIS side of the closet too! Thanks SO much 4 this! I've been SO discouraged about my home since moving in 3 years ago (yes, THREE yrs...my home has NEVER been this disorganized/cluttered in the last 25 yrs!). I'm looking forward 2 getting things back 2 "normal" & am gonna watch the next video now! :)

[realwomenscrap]

@aromaathome This is the best news I've heard all day!!! I'm so thrilled for you and so honored I could play a small part in your feeling encouraged and organized again! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[StevenTheWebmaster]

That's a really great tip. I'll try some of that.

[realwomenscrap]

@StevenTheWebmaster So did you give it a try? How did it go?

[StevenTheWebmaster]

@realwomenscrap It went really well. I got rid of a lot of stuff. Now I have to get my wife on board ;-)

[happee1]

you have such a big closet ..what do you do when you have a small closet..great ideas but you have room to do all of this and i don't

[realwomenscrap]

@happee1 I know! I'm so blessed to have a huge closet. I came from another home with a TINY closet so this feels massive to me and does allow me to have space to spread things out and feel organized. If I had a smaller closet I would get rid of clothes I wear less often, pack clothes away when they're not in season, and probably have a bigger dresser in my room to fold more things rather than have them hanging.

[tumnjun]

Ha. Not what I expecting. That closet appears to house enough crap for 15 adults. I need to declutter+organize what stuff I do have, but I don't have anywhere near this much closet items. This video shouldn't have the word unclutter in it, you just rearranged stuff with tons of plastic. Those of us who live in small green spaces would never hoard that much stuff, it is really excessive+part of the problem you start talking about in the beginning. You don't seem to really "get it."

[calisongbird]

Your closet "before" picture is not that disorganized.... which makes those of us who ARE disorganized feel even worse about ourselves. LOL. Also, why "unclutter" and not "declutter"? Not trying to be snarky, just curious.

[realwomenscrap]

@calisongbird I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I think I mention that in general I'm pretty much a neat freak so things don't usually get too crazy. Of course I wouldn't want you to feel worse about your position... there is always hope if you just start small with one room or section at a time. Enlist the help of a neat freak friend... we always feel a little weird about how fanatical we are and love the chance to tackle someone else's clutter. :)

[greenhoneybee08]

I'M NOW A GREAT BELIEVER OF GETTING RID OF THINGS I DONT LOVE OR DON'T FEEL GOOD IN!!!

[realwomenscrap]

@greenhoneybee08 Fantastic!

[Karmifive]

OMG! Those are my favorite boots too! Small world, and they are comfy too, no one believes me.

[realwomenscrap]

@Karmifive No way?!? That's unreal... and very cool!

[Karmifive]

OMG< Those ae my favorite boots too! Small world, and they are comfy too, noone believes me.

[roberts31000]

Great video

[Malitose79]

Holy Shit you have a huge closet. I hate you. JK. But not really. :(

[realwomenscrap]

@Malitose79 I know! I love it. Our previous home had such a tiny closet it was a joke, but you learn to live with what you've got. Hang in there... I'm sure a bigger closet is in your future. :)

[KikikiHello]

It's tidy, but there's so much unnecessary STUFFFFF! ugh.

[realwomenscrap]

Thanks! Glad to help!

[iveyadayadaed]

I love your t-shirt strategy!!! Great video. You gave great ideas!!!

[organizedinteriors]

Very motivational. Amazing at what a little uncluttering can do to your closet!!

Check out our channel for many videos just like this one!

[drjaz696]

your closets the size of our main bdrm! No kidding!!!

[realwomenscrap]

@drjaz696 I feel blessed with my closet here. My previous home was in Silicon Valley and it was SO tiny that my husband had to share our son's closet. Things are always bigger in the South and when it comes to closet size that makes me very happy.

[JuvieFirst]

That is how I fold t-shirts, too. I learned it many years ago when I worked softlines in a department store and have been doing it ever since. It keeps them nice and tidy! :0)

[JuvieFirst]

Even after the purge you have tons of clothes! And you didn't think you had much to begin with??? Wow!

[midcitygym]

excellent, motivating clip, please show how you fold your t shirts, they look very neat in your drawer, thanks.

[realwomenscrap]

@emijgirl I have hats in one and scarves in the other. What do you have in yours?

[craftsandbargains]

Fantastic Tutorial! Great tips that I also use!
