closet makeover for a MAXIMALIST 👘👗Tracy's 1st round of closet organization 👗

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Today was the BIGGEST day of change for Tracy's home. If you're new to the series, Tracy's previous closets were broken and would often fall on her while sleeping. The most recent fall being, "The Great Closet Collapse of December." While I don't recommend buying anything until after the During, we both agreed that this was an essential next step for our work together (especially since these are THE ONLY closets in the entire house). Today is only the rough organization. As we work more together we will continue fine tuning the organization so that it fits her daily life and so that we can categorize things together to make the second pass of decluttering more effective.

[@denisemurphy4806]

Wow! Tracy is SLAYING it!!! It’s almost unbelievable to think how far Tracy has come since the first shoe organisation day. Life changing 😍🥰

[@dmoonj]

I really wish people would take note of the intro, finishing with "please comment with kindness". Too many judgemental comments with nothing of value to add to this wonderful series. Go Tracy and April, you're both doing a fantastic job!

[@Alextodd007]

Hi there

[@hberror404]

I HAVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST I'm invested ❤😂

[@prymodee6723]

Me too! 😅🥰

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

🥰😘

[@emilyandollidamra]

Yess😍

[@curryhumphreys5037]

I have been waiting all week! Well done Tracy

[@lydiacarpio-acosta4918]

I have these closets , they are the best

[@katec4172]

I hate inefficient furniture so much because you're so much less likely to open a drawer if it sticks or is otherwise fiddly. I'm so happy for Tracy and the progress looks fantastic!

[@rnggall9640]

No matter where you are on the clutter scale this series has something of value for you. Listening to the 'stories' shows you how you need to listen without judgement as a person clears through the things in their life! Props to boyfriend for staying calm as the organization unfolds around him!

[@magpie3571]

I love the way April talks! So non combative, non judgmental. Meets people where they are and rises to help. (her words lift instead of tearing down)

[@dob1997]

you absolutely need to give her labels - as someone who feels like tracy - i know it wouldnt stay that way without labels

[@rachelt727]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing! 😁

[@seasonsathome2291]

Labels are awesome ❤

[@amyclark959]

I was just coming to say that I was honk labels might help her a lot... And she could have labels so that when she switches seasons there is a label on one side for summer one for winter... Or whatever makes sense for her.

[@brittneymccarthy]

Please tell me you are going to do many other spaces in Tracy’s home, there is so much potential here!

[@karenmcd.28]

I love how excited she is to have everything together and keeps mentioning that once it's in one place she may be downsizing more. I like your gentle methods and having the homeowners help.

[@shawnrobertson9618]

Wow, the closet room is going to be life changing for Tracy. She is already so creative. She’ll now have all her clothing options at her fingertips every morning - a fashion creativity dream!! So happy for her! 😊

[@marta83809]

I love how Tracy was thinking through how she functions with her stuff. The rummage box for fanny packs, the loungewear unfolded drawer. Those are the details that make this a realistic, sustainable organization.

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Jaw dropping from extreme overwhelm to clinically calm. Go Tracey!

[@lindagallacher2187]

WOW!! What a difference. Tracey looks so happy. Thoroughly enjoying watching the transformation 😊

[@ericastivison]

Even her green top said she was feeling good! 💚

[@svevabennett]

Me too!! Feels incredible to watch it all unfold and so satisfying especially because you know how good it will make them feel ☺️

[@frrusc1]

I said this before but April is saving the world 1 closet at the time Jackson is a treasure love watching ❤

[@lisadavis4279]

I am so happy for Tracy's progress. I retired from IKEA and have used PAX wardrobes in every house and apartment I have lived in. I have had many configurations and the wire pull out drawers are the best for organization. I have two wide wardrobes and one narrow one where I have 5 wire baskets high in the bottom of each. Except for where hanging shirts, blouses, pants, skirts, dresses, jackets and coats, I put all under-garments, socks, shorts, loungewear, active-wear, t-shirts and jeans in the drawers. I put sweaters, shoes and purses in the shelves above and have two additional closets for my hanging clothes. I Marie Kondo fold everything and it has been my dream organization method. If you fold consistently, you always see everything you own. I still do a spring/summer, fall/winter switch. Each time I switch, I declutter what was not worn or no longer fits. It is another step in the process, however, if eventually Tracy can turn her hangers backwards and re-evaluate seasonally, she may be able to use this method to let go of even more things that she does not wear. Congrats to you both for all that you have accomplished.

[@hiamanda]

LOVE the closets! Good pick, Tracy!

[@valerieann2751]

They are great. I’m planning on using Pax closets in my new house build

[@jen....]

Can't put onto words how much I am enjoying the organisation phase ❤🎉

[@SamStrumpetify]

She's positively glowing! It's so lovely to see her transform and become more confident in her ability

[@ericastivison]

Yes, this!!!

[@nomifish]

I love videos with Tracy and Dani! Simply the best!! Thank you so much for helping them!!!

[@sharondumont9048]

Fantastic job ladies, Tracey if you could further downsize and give your boyfriend the end IKEA wardrobe and totally get ride of the mismatched cupboards that would open that room so beautifully and maybe add a nice rug and full length mirror on the wall with nice soft lighting and candles and plants what a siren room you would have 👍🏼❤️😉🇨🇦

[@sophiabright8371]

The speed at which Tracy is accomplishing this massive transformation is nothing short of miraculous. Tracy will find her way, doing what is right for HER & HER PARTNER, under her own steam, with April's expert guidance. No one else need concern themselves with her next steps. Why bring your own stuff into this process? None of you knows a single thing that can be of any help, because you are not there!!! I give April ALL THE FLOWERS 🎉🎉🎉 for her delicate yet firm approach, her sensitivity and wisdom, and her joyful celebration of each tiny step forward. My GOODNESS you guys! Do you not see how incredibly fast this is going? This is like giving advice to Michaelangelo before he's cut into the first layer of the marble! He KNEW that the marble would tell him what the sculpture would become. Be patient and LET TRACY & APRIL do the amazing job they are so very capable of!!! Blessings to all... But really! Advice has not been requested!!! And it obviously is not needed! ❤❤❤ Cannot wait for the next video. This is the first time I feel like I want to go back to the first episode and watch all over again because I am THAT inspired by how this is moving forward! ~A woman who once had enough clothing to fill four overstuffed closets, now down to ONE!!!

[@wendoxia]

Agreed I need in the kindest way. I’m going to say that is more than a person needs in 10 lifetimes and hopefully she’ll start to feel the ability to let some of it go.

[@rebeccacartier153]

I am honestly so surprised.. I did not think Tracy would fit all her clothes in one spot. Those ikea closets are amazing, I use the elfa system from the container store but I almost like the ikea ones better.

[@pama.6410]

This is huge for her and her partner. This means so much to HIM that he was afraid to have her do things without your input. What a weight this will be off both their shoulders. Glad you helped her make the executive decision about the old sweatpants. Wondering if the upper baskets (on top of the new closet) will eventually be labeled? Love seeing more space being created in the bedroom.

[@saraevanswilson4814]

I couldn't wait for today episode! Tracy has come a long way. She seems less anxious than she was in her first couple of videos. She seems to be more in control of her clothes instead of them having control over her. I applaud her cause I'm in the same situation with my closest, hell my house since my husband died year and half ago, and my sister moved in. 😢 Tracy, you, my friend, are awesome! As a southern woman say, I am proud for you. 😊 ❤

[@svevabennett]

I'm glad you had something inspiring to watch that you related to. Sounds like an incredibly tough situation to be in and I hope that with time you will be able to find solutions like Tracy. It does definitely take time and energy to get things functional but just keep doing your best! I really hope things slowly get easier for you. Just stick to the small wins, the baby steps and just keep going! You've got this, no matter what it is like right now and how hard it is, it will get better ❤

[@sophiabright8371]

Sending you so much love, my lady. ❤❤❤

[@cathyferguson1590]

Wow! I love when people get new hangers and big storage to replace 500 little storage thingies. This one has been amazing! I felt like I couldn't sleep until I saw her clothes in the new closet!! ❤ you need to get 100k subscribers!!!

[@karenrowan1538]

April you are definitely the best at what you do out there . Tracey what a fantastic person you are. It has been great and informative to watch this journey. Great content . Thank you to both of you.

[@thelionmachine]

Tracy is doing such an incredible job and seeing her full of energy and excitement as she feels like she's getting control over her stuff is a cure for my depression. Amazing work.

[@saadiya6582]

My favorite phase! I need the next episode desperately haha

[@ericastivison]

Same!!!

[@kellyhenning843]

Are you still working with her? I’m invested ! She’s adorable

[@svevabennett]

I love Tracy's energy, she is so bright and radiates happiness and joy! I'm so excited for her to be able to have a wardrobe set up so she can truely enjoy the creative process of getting dressed and feeling her best and enjoy all her beautiful pieces she has collected that bring her so much joy without the stress of having to rummage through piles to find them! Keep up the wonderful energy Tracy!! You've got this! You have come so far already and it will just keep getting better!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@emilasmith4279]

Tracy you rock it girl! Love love love the closets! Suggestion: put labels on the lips of all the drawers for all the various rows. I find the more I have labeled it is easier for me to put things back away. Also maybe hang sheets on the inside of the last cabinet that lists all the items in the top storage bins. Everything looks fantastic!!! April when are you coming to my house!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

I have loved watching Tracy’s journey ❤ I can imagine her in a couple of years with a slightly smaller & really streamlined wardrobe

[@gukli3197]

I´m looking forward to see the kitchen declutter. I think thats going to be very satisfying

[@svevabennett]

Me too!!!

[@simonehickling5776]

Incredible!!! 😮😮😮 What a difference the wardrobes made. I'd invest in getting a couple more for your boyfriend, too 😏

[@christinen.6140]

I know I'm late to the commenting party but I wanted to say this is a great example of getting to know someone and building trust before you push them. April only gave pushback on the one pair of sweats and only in this episode. It's been multiple days of teaching and trusting the process to get to this point. I think you're great at what you do. ❤

[@Alextodd007]

Hello Christinen

[@deannaw9657]

Just AMAZING. Just WOW. On so many levels!! So much work and so much relief! Bravo to both of you! ❤

[@offhome6484]

A big well done Tracy 😊 I have loved watching your decluttering journey alongside doing my own. Wishing you much happiness x 🥰

[@breeanawagner8186]

Yay Tracy! It looks so nice!

[@Alextodd007]

Hello Breena

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Wow awesome!!!!!! Looking fabulous and loving the reading nook ❤

[@Alextodd007]

Hello trish

[@caitlingoetze8835]

Bravo Tracy!! 👏 Incredible work by everyone. So great to see it all come together, and bring calmness to their lives. Thanks for sharing the journey!

[@Alextodd007]

Hello caitlin

[@Dreamer-by4nk]

You ladies are doing great! Honestly all of those clothes would stress me out. But everyone is different and have their passions. Mine is makeup and I’m trying to stay under control.

[@Joce123]

All of the clothes make me feel suffocated. I would have to downsize so that nothing is high up and the drawers are reduced by 1/2..Seeing April's things is the catalyst to downsize my things. Off site climate controlled storage in Minneapolis is inexpensive. ($12 for a 5'x5' with a 4ft high brace on each side topped with a 3/4" piece of plywood makes a 2 level space.) Once things are out of my house it allows for clarity/calmness. Using clear totes 10"×13" 18" deep is helpful. Not too heavy..easy to stack. Too small for some kitchen extras like can pans..artwork/photos in frames..

[@Joce123]

I'm looking at using smaller cookie sheets/cake pans. Currently, I store those things in my oven Since I use my dishwasher as a cupboard for my dishes maybe I can down size that space enough to keep my pizza pan, cake pan, new small cookie sheets?

[@gracerodriguez6869]

Wow so many clothes and they fit so well in the closets, that is awesome

[@frogem209]

Wow! What a huge difference it makes for their house to have a designated dressing room. The bedroom already seems so much more calm and breathable with less furniture.

[@svevabennett]

It really does, I can't wait to see what they will do with the bedroom in future after everything has a home 😊

[@MaryObi-v5d]

A Big "thank you" to ikea closets. 😂 I know I would've bought two. One side for spring/summer, one side for fall/winter. I know it would be a fortune, but I would personally my mental health. GREAT WORK TRACY! 🎉❤🙌

[@MickeyC321]

Wow! I absolutely love the change. You two are teaching us so much in this process. Patience, humor, creative thinking, perseverance …….. Awesome!

[@shannonw6604]

I really loved your comment and agree wholeheartedly!

[@shndii857]

Really really happy for tracy ... I can feel the happiness and satisfaction that tracy is feeling ❤❤ more power to you

[@Majus555]

Just one thing from my experience. Drawers are sooo much better than baskets!! A bit more space, and the clothes behave better in them somehow ;D

[@Raxx777]

closets look and great and the reading corner will be a sweet spot

[@denisecarter5117]

I hope seeing how many clothes you have will start you on a process of eliminating more. For myself it made me feel free and better able to think.

[@josephdaly2015]

Wow the transformation is unbelievable. I’ve closet envy with all the space for the clothes. Tracy take a bow 🙇‍♀️ and be very proud of yourself. April you are a wonderful teacher, so patient, kind, encouraging, thoughtful and generous. Have a wonderful week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️👏👏💪👍🙏💐

[@happyluv]

I admire all the hard work involved with this, but I can't help wonder why one little person needs so many clothes? I think Tracy could realistically get rid of half those clothes and still have too much. I'm happy for her that she is getting organized. I'm mesmerized by this series...I can't look away! lol!

[@crystalsdance]

I am so excited to see how everything is working so well! When Tracy continues to cull items now that she can see them all, she will continue to stretch those decluttering muscles! And, when she loses more weight and downsizes her wardrobe even more, she will have even more space than imagined! Hopefully she will move her boyfriend's clothes in her closets! Then, they can move his closets out and put his table that he loves back in. The room will be very useful in many ways! And, this investment is going to change their lives more than just offering more clothing storage! This transformation is one that just keeps giving! I so happy for what has been accomplished. And, I'm anticipating the many blessings that will come from letting go and being free and having space in their minds and hearts as well to allow their relationship to be more abundant!

[@candidebardelaben3955]

Tracy, you are a beautiful soul! I love how you remember what you have and the memories associated. You are calming the chaos!!!

[@jomcginnis6703]

Omgosh Tracy, I'm so proud of you. 🎉

[@Alextodd007]

Hello jo

[@katiepillar]

I do feel like Tracy’s done really well! And I’m sure she’ll keep curating now it’s all in a better storage place. Also April, I love how you edited this, really skilfully done

[@jennyjenkins877]

🤩 There's a time to use what you've already got and then there's a time to save your sanity and relationship and invest in what will work best.

[@svevabennett]

Its unbelievable and so impressive how much you have done together!! Tracy and her partner must feel such an INCREDIBLE difference and a lightness in the new space with functional storage and furniture! I am so excited for what is to come for them and it will just keep getting better and better for them ☺️🥰

[@corinna_maybe]

Loving this series so much, the progress is ✨impeccable✨ I find it aspirational how Tracy loves and wears so many pieces of clothing. I barely leave my apartment enough to warrant one wardrobe 😅 still keeping my fingers crossed for a ruthless second purge in our future, Tracy we support you❤

[@valentinat3250]

I must say that I am overwhelmed -not to take away from Traci’s awesome efforts to organize.

[@Alextodd007]

Hello Valentina

[@donnahilton8924]

I am too. That many clothes would overwhelm me. But I don't take the incredible joy from them that Tracy does.

[@abundantlyinspired]

Sooo excited for this new big change for Tracy!!!!❤🎉🎉❤The wardrobes are so great!!! And I looooove the drawers!!

[@glendajorde9062]

i love how the fashionista is now doing really good with sorting out closets ❤

[@jeanineberrie7138]

I enjoy your videos very much, April. I am from San Angelo and I met your mother this morning!!! By coincidence, we work in the same building! I am a HUGE fan. Your mother is delightful. Just wanted to say hello. 😊

[@Alextodd007]

Hello jeannine

[@RockingNeverland_]

This one made the biggest difference!! All the visual clutter being behind the wardrobe doors now calms everything so much! You can really start to see the vision, Tracey did so well!

[@katiahrvth8483]

Such a great job! It's so nice to see Jackson approve of the reading space's vibe too

[@ilanapeters4239]

I thought it was so cute that he instinctively wanted to sit and read there, that's a sign that it's a great reading corner already!

[@Amacott99]

Those wardrobes are fantastic……now she has room for a whole new wall of them too….❤The other side could be show storage too. Kudos to you Tracey…..I so hope this declutter is a road to your new journey.

[@helenelindholm656]

Wow well done- love it. Tracy is a sweetie. Keep up the good work. Take care❤

[@debbierosa9572]

Absolutely incredible, go ahead Tracy! April your stamina is admirable! You have kept such positive energy to sustain both yourself and Tracy, so good

[@Hannah-ti4zu]

I have really been enjoying this continued series … it has been incredibly gratifying to watch all the progress and learn the process along the way !!! Thank you for sharing 😃

[@amxranthine]

This new closet will be a game changer for Tracy when she is styling her outfits! She is finally able to see everything and not have to spend an hour digging for one specific item. I can't wait to see you guys organize it!

[@dymphygoossens]

I really like the modular concept of these wardrobes - and I'm so impressed with the progress Tracy is making!

[@robopecha]

i am fascinated by how well the zipper boxes fit between the closets and the ceiling! looking so good!

[@vcanadian1971]

Well done April. In ❤ with the Pax wardrobe. What a great start on your decluttering and organizing journey Tracy. 👍🏼🇨🇦🫶🏻

[@ilanapeters4239]

Ahhh I'm so happy that it's on the up now! Tracy and her boyfriend can get to their clothes and that's HUGE! Tracy has done a fantastic job, I'm so happy she was able to keep going and had you to help her!

[@amxranthine]

That green looks so good on Tracy!

[@fred-hl9bp]

Thank you April....you are empowering people...in the most gentlest way. Oh how you've changed both Tracy and Dani's lives....😀. Tracy has come me so far....the closets look amazing 😀😀😀....what a fabulous walk in room....very well worth the investment 👍. Can't wait for Sunday's next episode 👍.

[@candylove1234]

I am such a wooden hanger lover, they really do feel luxurious ❤

[@Jayneisere04]

Wow what a transformation we'll done keep up the great work

[@Skysnooky]

I'm so invested in the process that I didn't even notice Your jacket lol 😂

[@svevabennett]

Same hahahha

[@abigailmyers9472]

You guys are doing so good! Way to go Tracy and April! You make an awesome Space Maker team!

[@parcheesy33]

Such awesome clothes deserve a beautiful closet to hang in. Well done April and Tracy!

[@user-rf2hw6ew4x]

Tracy, I think you have inspired me to have more beautiful clothes and enjoy them, I was a minimalist in this regard and after watching your videos I realized how much joy I miss having a small capsule wardrobe. I wish you to take control of your space and open the ways for abundance and joy to flow. I hope this brings many new and exciting things into your life!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Major accomplishment! LOVE, Love, love the walk in closet room, game changer. The new units are a wise investment. Tracy can use all the new ones, right side and boyfriend all the left side It's coming together, hopefully the bedroom can be finished decluttering, tidied up and a calm place for them.

[@patpalmer1337]

Again I'll say that is a wonderful room and with that yellow chair in there for a reading nook! I'd spend most of my time right there! Peaceful! I can see Tracy is really enjoying this process....❤

[@svevabennett]

Yes!! It is so cozy and sweet, I can't wait to see it all set up and decorated with plants, lighting etc.

[@susanrikimaru6630]

This was so much fun to watch! I found myself smiling through the whole thing - I am so excited for Tracy as she continues this process 🎉

[@graceaxisa4213]

I am watching this for the second time (several months apart) and I'm still excited by this wardrobe episode!!!! ❤

[@valerie718]

Great job ladies! I would challenge Tracy to go through each drawer and each hanging space and declutter two more items from each space to give yourself a little more room.

[@bella151272]

Love this series April. I’d watch you every day if you posted

[@carrie3206]

Oh… this transformation was so satisfying to watch! And yes. The closets are such a smart investment. I love when things come together and life just works better! Happy days! I am so very much, looking forward to the next video. 😁

April I'm going to be helping a family member who also has a massive clothing stash that's they're really attached to quite soon and I'm watching your calm and non-pushy way of helping, it's so good to see it in action. Thanks both for allowing us to follow your story. Wishing you the very best for the next stages ❤
