6 MONTH UPDATE | Kristin's Total Home Organization

[@kitchenandjorn]

Was I able to keep my house organized??? LET'S SEE!!!!!

Do you have any advice for someone who wants to start a channel (just like th is one🤣❤️) I was on tv recently (teen first dates) I feel like I'm very good& presentable on camera & connect well with viewers but idk how to start my channel any advice? ❤️🏳️‍🌈

[@nikkiriver9604]

This is why y'all's channel surpasses all others; a follow up to cleaning and organizing video that's more than just 30 days in between shooting and check in?!! Yes!!!! And well done on keeping it organized and learning what works for you!

[@krtierney]

Fabulous video and I love seeing Brie. So beautiful!!!

[@celinahaas5868]

Any of the t-shirts Brie loves but doesn’t wear you could always turn into a t-shirt quilt. I think there are places online that will make them for you if you send the shirts in. That’s what my sister and I did with all our college and high school shirts that we feel are sentimental and didn’t want to donate even though we don’t wear them.

[@lunabelletheinsane]

This needs more love so they see it. This is a GREAT idea!

[@katlinoneill2497]

[@yourfavoritebubbe7444]

i did this with my hs tshirts too! awesome idea! i used project repat :)

[@freethegoats]

As someone with ADHD I’ve also found “label everything and put it in clear, easily accessible boxes” means I stay 90% more organized.

[@Larissa-qg9se]

PSA: do NOT keep medications in your bathroom. Medications degrade in heat and humidity, both of which happen in a bathroom. Medications should be kept in a cool, dry place. Kristen’s nightstand is a great area to store meds! Storing medications improperly mean they don’t work as well and could be potentially harmful.

[@Jrr592]

Wow so all that shit we have my grandma for a decade about keeping them in the dining room cabinet was completely unwarranted… oops

[@kiki246810]

@@Jrr592 Yes lol. Don't keep your medicines in your car in the heat or in humid and wet places like the bathroom unless there is a separator between the bath tub and the rest of the restroom.

[@missywoford1809]

I freaking love watching Brie go through stuff. It's hilarious because she runs between "OMG I love this" and "Why do I have this I hate it go to hell" with that one dash of "I'm showing you this because I'm bragging about it" (which, BTW, freaking sweet shirt, girl!) Then when you add Kristen's "You need to get rid of things!" and "Wait, that's brand new!" mixed messages, Ya'll are hilarious AND adorable together. Your place looks great, good job maintaining the organization!! Thank you for sharing, this makes me feel like I could do it too.

[@Ciela887]

The mixture of Brie saying she loves that floral dress but it's too small, and then saying goodbye to it and telling it to go to hell, was a really funny moment 😂 I'm definitely doing that the next time I go through my clothes.

Random tip re: "those pills just showed up one day and nobody claimed them but I don't want to throw away someone else's medication" I have a little bin that lives by my front door, and its only job is to keep things for someone else--things that got left at my house and/or things that I'm passing on/gifting. You have to also add a routine where when you're going to visit someone or when someone has visited and is leaving, to Check The Bin Every Time. It helps me so much. If there's a too big for the basket thing, I put a post-it inside with a note about what, for who, and where I stashed it.

[@kyandaila]

this is brilliant!! like a little lost and found

Kristin, I know your mom watches the show, but I’m a mom of a daughter your age and I also watch! Also your outfits are exceptional!

[@haylibaby3]

For the decemberist's shirt - Bri should get a shadowbox with a backdrop that you can pin to! I did this with a vintage shirt of my Dad's and it worked really well.

[@powersquirrel8156]

I'm going to set a reminder in my calendar to share these videos with my therapist because this series is such a good example of organizing with ADHD, not fighting it. I only wish Space Camp was in my area because I just love their vibe and creative solutions.

[@Teajay21]

Yeah I'm planning on doing a big organization of my room soon and I wish I could hire them too! I'm definitely using some skills

[@spacecamporganizing]

We do have an organizing course! Its just like we're right there with you! Here it is: spacecamporganizing.com/makebetterspace

[@alliecat1019]

This is such a great idea! I loved that there was a follow up that shows how to create systems that are sustainable over a period of time.

Brie's "yeah I'm cis" was the very definition of comedy 🤣 Spot on delivery

Brie and Kristen being an adorable couple is the sunshine I needed to warm my heart during my current depression low

[@uhohspaghettios2391]

Oooo, I'm pumped for this. I've been wondering how this has all held up. I rewatch the organization video all the time while I'm trying to organize my own housr, and I feel SO PROUD of Kristin. 🥰

[@poetdrowned]

The message that no one is 100% perfect at organizing all the time is a message we need more of. Also, the idea that you may have trouble because you’re trying to use a system that doesn’t work for you. I really loved this video!

[@jordinburch9466]

Honestly I'm so proud of Kristen, brie, and Jen (cause I know she contributes) for keeping this place lookin so good. Just remembering the desk organization video from some years ago and the car organization video, and this is major steps. Proud sister moment lol

[@CarlaMLee]

"Wrestling is the greatest form of American theater." Bri has the best description of wrestling I've ever heard.

[@rachelsimmons3548]

Fingers crossed that we get a 1 year update in 6 more months. I am loving this series! ❤️

[@TheBuzzOnMosquitoes]

Kristen’s face about the DVDs being everywhere was the most relatable thing I’ve seen all 2022.

[@nataliemerrill]

I have so many positive feels after watching this video: • Brie is the cutest person of all time • Kristin looks BEAUTIFUL throughout this video. Your lewks were 🔥 • organizing videos scratch such a specific part of my brain 😍

[@spacecamporganizing]

You both did SUCH an incredible job keeping your spaces organized. So proud of you, we ❤ you!

[@MariRueter]

Thanks for showing us an update! It's encouraging to see that people can keep up their organization systems! But I also appreciate the reality of the situation where sometimes you just need to update a system when it doesn't work exactly as you'd hoped the first time you set it up. Keep at it! I know keeping an organization system is something that takes effort and you two are doing great!

[@nauseaqueen]

Brie’s deadpan is amazing. And as a fellow SEC school alum, “college football purposes” is a very valid reason to keep an outfit 😂

[@simonsaysism]

I love this follow-up because it really cements how we need to make our spaces work FOR US, we're only human and no one is a perfect organizing machine, we're all different and need different solutions, it's going to take everyone time to figure out what works for them and that's ok!!!

[@WalrusJoy]

This is not just fun to watch, honestly watching it helps give me ideas for organize problems I have and how to work on them.

[@Boxgirl36]

I love Bree “one because I’m bragging about it” 🤣❤️ Love the videos and you’ve done a great job keeping it very organized! Great job.

[@kfran]

Oh my god Bri’s attitude when Kitchen says you’re not sentimental at all about the shoes and she says no why would I be. Made me laugh so hard. Kitchen I am so like you. Love your videos.

The first organization video is my comfort video, I rewatch it all the time (esp on bad days), I'm so excited there's an update! Love the earrings and snacks solutions

[@jasminelambert3753]

Okay first of all Brie’s athleisure dress at the end looks so so cute on her! I love how much she’s coming into her own style! And you guys did so well. Like I’m genuinely so proud of you for maintaining the organization and for knowing when things aren’t working and needed to be tweaked. I’m truly so impressed and proud!

[@moffajink7626]

I love this! Showing reality, that systems need to be tweaked to fit around changes in your life. Fabulous video 10/10.

Bree's green dress is so CUTE! I am really impressed with what you have all been able to do with keeping up on this! I'm so glad you did a follow up

[@ShiloVix]

I think you and Bree did a remarkable job both in the first purge, the 6 months since and this round. I struggle so much with the exact same things so watching your videos gives me the boost to do It for myself.

[@BellaDiLo317]

I just saw the first video a few days ago! I am currently in the process of moving and this has been so helpful. I’m somebody who takes a lot of meds, (I take 7 Rx daily and I have some otc I take regularly but not daily) and this is my system that works for me: I have a basket that I keep in a cupboard that has the bottles, and I use a weekly pill box to hold my daily meds, and I keep that on a table. When I refill every week, I just pull that bin out and fill the weekly box. I keep my OTC medications in a different bin, and vitamins on a shelf.

[@cristinbuskard9250]

Definitely do it again in 6 months. I’ve been trying to transform myself into a more organized person and I love how realistic it is to see someone reassess their organization. It’s something I’d watch and I’m sure it would help you keep organized!

[@fantasyflirt1811]

I live with too many people, adults and kids. I keep saying we need to organize, labels would be awesome for me. I haven't been diagnosed with anything but the lack of organization makes my skin crawl. My depression, and most likely anxiety lol, then make me give up on trying as soon as I get overwhelmed or meet a hurdle; like kids destroying all the cleaning I've spent the weekend doing. Thank you for the video and being honest with your struggles, it makes mine seem manageable if I put in the work, and work smarter. 💜💜

[@morgensellier7816]

Something I (as an adult child) have found works well is designating certain spaces as "mine to dirty" and others as "shared to keep tidy." Usually I do some kind of round-up at night where I gather my things and put them back in my space. EG. I paint in the living room, but the supplies need to go back to MY room by the end of the day. Because it's my room to do whatever in, I don't worry about finding a "proper" place. It's not the way my parents would do it, but because the mess is in my private space, they get to ignore it and I don't have to stress about cleaning EVERYTHING. Maybe that would work for your kiddos, too?

[@Pumpkinsnuffles]

THE FACT THAT THE CODY RHODES SHIRT IS ONE OF THE TWO PURGED SHIRT CRACKS ME UP. I love you Brie, you are correct, and please never change.

[@emery-leoneswirska4028]

Doing an honest follow up was such a great thing because it shows how life happens and nothing just stays 'perfect'! Also as I'm watching this and stuff that both Juliana and Kristen talk about rings home when it comes my ADHD brain and it feels so good! Like I've struggled with object permanence and orginising everything pretty much my entire life (you won't be able to tell because I anxiety clean a lot and also I move around often so purges in stuff are a must) but all those things that were mentioned sound like so easy and workable solutions. None of the organising content stuff I worked before made me feel like I actually can do it, as much as this one did. They all just make me feel bad like it's something I will never ever, ever be able to do. And this one did just the opposite, this is doable, it's not out of reach at all. Thank you, thank you so much.

[@monderings9652]

Love this update! Also, I need to know how Brie likes that style of dress from Girlfriend Collective. I recognized it immediately because I've talked myself out of buying it three times and regret it.

[@fourcatsandagarden]

I was so happy to see the first video because it made me feel less wrecked, and I had no idea how even more deeply wonderful an update would be. A lot of cleanup and organization content doesn't follow up later but checking in 'is this working is it not, what else do we need to consider - wow look how far we've come, even though we have some trouble spots we have come so far!' is just. So good. So needed. I did just buy a few more organizational tools last month that have cleaned up my closets, which were a bit of a wreck, so I subconsciously did the same thing as you guys.

[@bridget663]

So many good tips for people with adhd. I have a very out-of-sight, out-of-mind personality and organizing by hanging makes everything more visible so I'm more likely to use it.

[@EmilyandRoseMusic]

This inspired me to finally clean my bedroom, which was overrun with clutter & junk from being very mentally ill, and at one point being physically injured during covid lockdown and being physically unable to clean. Thankfully my mental & physical health are MUCH better, so thanks for giving me the motivation to get started along with organization ideas. Y’all did a fantastic job with your apartment!! 💕

[@Elizabeth_Lynch]

Props to both you and the organisation team for a good job that you maintain well. I thought and still think that you are super visual people and get on best with open storage and clear bins - everything can be seen and grabbed easily with no lid or door barriers. Shows how good the storage system and also your effort is that you are using it even though things are hidden. Remember how you had stuff literally all over the bathroom but a totally empty bathroom cupboard. I also think clear bins by the door (maybe three eg for different shoe types/people) for shoes that you can shake off your feet into the bin when you get home would work well for you. You seem more inclined to look for the shoes when leaving the house than putting them nicely on a shoe rack when you get in. Love that you put the stickers on the cart. Stickers are made to be seen 🙂

[@annp97]

So proud of you, Kristen and Bree! You really maintained well...and when there was an area of concern, you realized it (which is a huge step forward for you), and you even suggested ideas/solutions to fix the gaps. Kudos!!

[@xoyouaremysunshinexo]

I was just thinking about this update! So nice to see that organization is very fluid and trial and error.

[@liz9843]

Love this so much! Suggestion: put a small shelf under the earrings that are in the wall, to catch any you do while putting away - getting them from behind that set of drawers would be hard!

[@whilibi]

I love this! Working out what works and doesn't work is so important but I'm so glad most of what Space Camp implemented is working for you! Must be a massive relief

[@nurmuzdalifah]

Thank you for this update video ! This is honestly very inspiring and very relatable. Everytime I organise things, and assign spaces for things, they somehow work, but then shortly after they get disorganised again. I always thought its just me being 'undisciplined' or something like that. This really helped me realise that the disorganisation is probably because the system I made needs more fine tuning, or needs to solve the inconveniences that come from it. It feels good to know I'm not the only one struggling with "keeping things organised" long term, and it helps to know it doesn't necessary stem from myself, but the system isn't efficient as I initially thought it would be.

[@lonngleggedsocialist7414]

kristin and brie look so cute with their glasses matching their outfits

[@Flareontoast]

Organising snacks is always annoying. We have two boxes/bins in a cupboard in the kitchen for opened packages. One for salty snacks and one for sweets. It works somewhat with reminding us what food needs to be used up, although if you're struggling with object permanence, I recommend using clean bins

First off, love all of you and this channel. I like how you did a 6 month update because honestly it just makes me personally feel a part of your life. The only thing I would say is that when it comes to the shoes, I think shoes are kind of androgynous and can be for both men and women no matter who they are originally made for. But besides me being critical and picky, please keep doing these organization videos. They are REAL and seem so relatable and actually doable and not like the dumb shit on TikTok that is VERY un-relatable. Love you all ❤️

It's awesome that it's so clear to see what works for Kristin and Brie and what needs tweaking based on their personalities and needs. It helps give me even more ideas of what might work best in my own house. Thanks for sharing this journey! It's really, genuinely interesting and helpful. :)

A great tip for people that love makeup and retro/vintage furniture, buy a vintage beautiful sewing kit. One of those that fold out. Mine is made of wood and has a handle and legs like a tiny table.Line the many rooms in the kit with pretty paper (I used gift wrapping paper, as that was on hand) and sort your makeup and brushes into each room. Big palettes and such go in the bottom area. Its so nice having lots of space and it still being a pretty piece of furniture.
