[@ArielBissett]

I'm so proud of this project! Thank you to everyone for watching :D My bedroom renovation is coming soon, it's taking a bit longer to edit than I thought so I uploaded this one first! Stay tuned for a whole room of pink floor action!!

[@katelawnmower]

I love your proud mama vibes. I used to live in Vancouver as well, and started a collective house with some friends there. We had a reasonably priced run down place with a landlord that footed the material bill (as long as we did the work), and it was SO MUCH FUN. The feeling of getting it just how you want it, and the pride in having done in yourself is the best! I also had really handy parents with tools and it was definitely the only way it was possible. I live in Montreal now, and am not able/don't need to do renovation projects at the same capacity, but making things and nesting is still my favourite! I love being on this journey, reminiscing, and living vicariously through you!

[@alexiscardenas9147]

I’m so happy for you! This looks great! Also are you tall?

[@pattimessenger6214]

You should be proud! You’re doing great!

[@micah06v8]

Love what you did with the closet! I feel you with the coathangers. I hate crammed hanging clothes! I was thinking, with the part of the closet where the pipe is; you could get a small chest or something to put in that corner for your mittens and hats and stuff; or to put away like big bulky sweaters and stuff in the summer to free up space on the shelves.

[@conniemiles5164]

Ariel: lets everyone know her family has building knowledge, owns tools already, and helps her. Ariel: films with wet hair in casual clothing and crocs to stain shelves. Ariel: talks about the price of what she's doing. WE LOVE A TRANSPARENT QUEEN. Thanks for being realistic and honest. I love artsy shots as much as the next person, but it's nice to have things balanced out with actual information about what goes into things like this. Home ownership- and ANY kind of remodel, cost so much time and money and require a lot of knowledge and effort! LOVING this series :D Also the pink floor? HECK YEAH

"I measured everything in cm because it's way more accurate" THANK YOU Ariel .. the imperial system is unnecessarily complicated and quite frankly dumb

[@AshleyZieman]

We all agree on this 😂

[@johnspecht72]

Also are we not in Canada? How long do businesses need to adapt to the metric system? Forever?

[@toriladybird511]

I work in both... But thats because UK converted from imperial to metric...

[@robertsitch1415]

I find that bordering the US is why several industries in Canada still make use of imperial measurements.

[@evewithwonder]

I know!!! I was following a tutorial in inches the other day and decided it might be simpler to follow the inches mesurements, rather than have to convert every single mesurement to centimeters... I had a headache by the time I finished the tutorial, with all the 1/16ths I had to add and substract.

[@samiansley5740]

You comment about your dad’s tools, the impact of your mom’s sanding help, and how impactful having help with DIY renovations was so lovely. It helps to remind us all that we work better as a community. Thank you.

[@toryblackwolffe7624]

The big shelf.... I would use it for totes (lidded to keep out dust and labeled so you know what is in it) that you put out of season stuff in. During the winter, summer stuff (shorts, tank tops) would get put in there. Then during the summer, use the tote for your scarves, gloves/mittens and other winter stuff. That way you only have on your easily accessible shelves only what you would be using during that season.

[@annaspray8899]

Motion sensor lights are a game-changer in closets. We installed some in ours a while ago and were so thankful we did! Your closet looks great!

[@dilancedillo]

I love your videos. Someday, a mexican booktuber recommend your channel and for some reason, I save your name in my mind but never went to your channel because I don't know much english, especially back then. But now I'm trying to practice listening and I thought: maybe I can start with Ariel. I search your channel and start to see this videos about remodeling your house and all that stuffs. I don't know, I think I'm very happy with your channel and I just wanted say it at loud jajajaja.

[@Anna-pd6dc]

Hey I'm looking for spanish language KZbinrs to practice my Spanish! Can you tell me who that booktuber was, or any other channels en español that you recommend??

[@dilancedillo]

@@Anna-pd6dc Of course! Rainbook is the name of the booktuber that recommended Ariel channel. Also, if you're looking for another spanish booktuber, I recommend Clau Read Book. She's more constant and have a lot of videos if you wanna practice. Also I recommend you Superholly. She has 2 channels: an english one and another in spanish. She's super fluent in both languages because she grow up in USA and México, so, she's pretty awesome and I like her because literally she teach in her channel. Also, has some storytimes so, it's perfect for the listening.

The shelves are GORGEOUS! When u were talking about not needing hanging space I was like... God I'm the opposite... But the fun of diy is making a space work well for you!!

[@alinam5092]

Same. I hang everything, I have special hangers for skirts, pants, this way my clothes are never wrinkled. My boyfriend makes fun of me, he tells me I would also hang my socks, if I could. :))

[@ArielBissett]

[@jennifererickson9709]

This makes me curious about how everyone likes to store their clothes. I would hang everything if I could. I just feel like my folded clothes are always wrinkly or causing an avalanche haha.

[@potatoboi6188]

Seriously

[@natashamorais6264]

I prefer to hang too. For me, it's easier to see and always ready to go.

[@SkySpiral8]

Stacked clothing just makes me think of spider and mouse nests😳

[@JenCrystal]

I do a bit of a mix, my fancy or formal stuff is hung and everything else is folded and stacked in different ways

[@Beruthiel45]

I just hung things because that's the fittings the builder put in my closet. One quarter long things rod, one quarter shelves. And two quarters with double rods for shorter things. But I do agree shelves are good. I'd be happy to add more instead of two rods one above the other. All the shorter hanging clothes drag on the bottom shelf. 🥴

Look for an old house here. I'm thinking there's a cheap old houses website. Just realtor.com is a good start too, just don't put in a bottom dollar amount and you will be surprised what you find.

[@jjamieallover]

the issues i've always had with shelves in closets is that there are never enough! there's usually like 2 so everything becomes one big unusable PILE, so seeing a bunch of shelves like this is so nice and i agree, makes it way easier to see clothes! it turned out really nice :)

When diy home renovation and booktube are your favorite things to watch on KZbin and one of your favorite booktubers is doing both with a style that I really identify with✨✨✨

[@dauriagroux-holt4028]

This looks great! I will say that anyone with a small wardrobe might enjoy hanging their clothes. As someone with fewer than 20 (typically 10-15) items per season of non-athletic-clothing I find it a lot easier to hang. This is purely based on preference and I love that you came up with a wonderful solution that fits your needs.

[@rachaeldiviney712]

For the extra space baskets!! Baskets everywhere, makes organising everything so much easier. Is the painted floor permanent or temporary, because won't that chip and scuff really quickly. I'm sure the closet will be fine but the bedroom might cause issues

[@kailarose93]

Oh Canada... The land where we use the metric system for everything *except* literally building things.

And weighing people... and measuring people... and cooking/ baking. We're messed up lol

I think it's the sweetest thing that you and the whole fam are working on this home together

[@yubbadubbadubba]

I would suggest on top of the coats, put in some woven baskets (more breathable and aesthetically pleasing than plastic tubs and you can thrift them often for pretty cheap) and have one for the board games, and another for the accessories you mentioned (I would put all the wintry stuff there like hats, gloves/mittens, and scarves). I also would recommend folding the cardigans instead of hanging them (protects the shoulders from becoming misshapen and also adds more space on the hanging rack). The pink flooring is really cute!

[@Rabhya]

Your mini closet is a combination of beauty and happiness! Your closet has made every piece of clothing meaningful hahaha♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jayweasley]

I love how u shouted out ur family bc I always wonder with people who do extensive diy or renos how they’re doing all these things so casually and then I’m like wait why don’t I know how to do these things, is it so easy to learn?! But most people have some help or at least a lot of advice! Or someone who taught them at some point. So anyway I’m gonna go hang these shelves I bought like 3 years ago lol

[@auroraasleep]

That has to be the most terrifying linoleum I've ever seen. LOL "Shelves? In a closet." I actually like this. I use those fiber bins on cheap cube shelves for most of my clothes that don't need to be hung up. They work well, can get brought out and picked through, then set back in order without much fuss. (yes, I'm commenting on your videos because it helps pay you... wordy words throw pennies at cool project).

Thank you so much for sharing your journey in your home! If I can give one piece of advice, please get come protective gloves when removing all of that old wood. Even a pair of garden gloves would be something! Though I recommend getting hardier gloves than that, I know that they can be expensive. OMG, your closet is so cute!!!!!
