We're back!!!!!! 🥳 Watch Laura & Jasper's FULL Series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKPPY3horNqMsK8

[@izelborucu1636]

Sorry I had to dislike the video because the voices/sound is so low I had to literally MAX my tv volume to hear and turn on captions. Later I got blasted with ad music and I fear I have a hearing loss now 😢You should edit the video sound to be a normal level if you want to create content on youtube. I love your videos tho, but there is always problems with sound editing

[@victoriarayne4865]

​​@@izelborucu1636came here to say the same thing! My phone volume is maxed and i cannot hear their voices at all, then she come close to the camera and gets extremely loud and i constantly have to adjust the volume. Making this video unwatchable. Edited: I've now tried to watch with headphones too. Same problem. This is every video.

The legacy of Collin. 🏅

[@peachettte]

I will say, I feel like these videos are making April shine. Because there is not a lot of stuff to throw, her ideas on how to organize the things is at the forefront. Getting ideas! Thanks for making sure the episodes have variety :)

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Yay! I wasn't sure how it would be received to have a series that didn't declutter a ton, but I thought it was still important to show how unique all our declutter journeys can be. And how much change you can make with light decluttering and thoughtful organization.

[@TheJoyFinder]

Agree.

[@an7855]

​@@SpaceMakerMethodyou're the space maker. And you made a lot of space in Laura's and Jasper's home. For me it's fine. I really enjoy a normal european Home. It's so relatable as a German. Also it is so relatable to need just a little Body doubling instead of a whole lot of help. I enjoy both kinds of space making. I'm a huge fan of Tracy and her series (and Dani and Christine and her husband and and and). I love the heavier help as much as the lighter one. Both works with your method, so please show both.

[@christineshultz7615]

​@SpaceMakerMethod the amount of consumerism is notable compared to American homes. Just an observation.

[@qhaireeniqa7936]

@@peachettte I agree… I was thinking about the same thing..

[@Eeeekamouse]

I really love how calm and even keeled Laura is. It seems like she already knows where things would work better. Just needs that little push and time set aside to do the work. 😊

[@AnnekeOosterink]

Yeah, plus it really helps if there is someone to ask if something works, and to push you to think about whether you use something, or whether something should maybe be in a different spot etc. And I'm sure the body doubling helps as well.

[@heksedansd.2919]

You are absolutly the best! You dont push people to throw things out, you dont fuss and stress people, you are a very likeble girl, you dont shout and you are a very good organiser!! ....I have never seen someone do a makover as nice as you do! You act like a friend, not as an authority.

[@melodep275]

It really seems like April becomes part of the family! I mean she knows where everything is in the house and in my mind that makes you family lolol!

[@johnandkitty]

That's beautiful: Friend not authority.

[@luisesandfrau6379]

Thank you Laura and Jasper for letting us in your home. I have never been in a dutch home.

[@maryS1977]

Being from Wisconsin with a full basement under the 1st floor, seeing their “basement” gave me a whole new perspective of storage space. Thank you for showing us that.

[@marjoleindm]

In from the Netherlands as well, and houses here are so different from all the houses we see in the US

[@loes6839]

I'm from the Netherlands and new homes never have a basement, sometimes a little attic or the attic is just another layer with bedrooms. I visit a lot of homes for my work, but a lot of new homes have no build in closets (sometimes one underneath the stairs that often has the door in the living room). That makes Ikea really needed here😂 Older homes often have a small basement where people used to have food storage and hang meat to dry. But new homes are build as space effective as possible to fit as many bedrooms as possible, but that means there's no build in storage space like attics and basements.

[@heididragonfly]

Thank you Jasper for participating in the process! It is both yer home and belongings. It is beautiful how you get involved and help make sense of your space! Cheers Laura and Jasper! 🥂

[@tamerasyniec6621]

It’s wonderful to see organization from the eyes of people in another country. Thank you to the family for sharing their stories.

[@Kokoszkaa]

I really love your videos April, they are so comforting! And I appreciate that you have a series in Europe now, I must admit that it is more relatable to me to see those smaller spaces with less stuff than in some other families, that still get a great improvement! ❤

[@B.M.R.L]

As a fellow Dutchie this series is so relatable, great fun to watch!!😄 My boyfriend and I live in a big-ish city in the Netherlands and our kitchen is 3x as small as Laura's and Jaspers' (we cant be in there at the same time because it's so narrow) so the organizing of specifically a Dutch kitchen is very motivating to get started on our own decluttering. Thank you Laura and Jasper for giving us a peek in your life. Groetjes uit Nijmegen!

[@christinequintana881]

Great job! I love that although there wasn't much to declutter that she feels ownership of the kitchen now rather than just keeping items where friends and family unpacked them, that really didn't work for her.

[@sofiesusi]

This summer I'm going to takle my mothers cluttered attic and my old bedroom to finally give her proper space for her crafting and sewing supplies I'm taking a lot of notes from this content to try and make that process less overwhelming

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Good luck!!! 🍀😊❤️

[@jennyjenkins877]

Wonderful work... I love watching couples make decluttering decisions and come to an agreement together.

[@karenfaddis2412]

It's amazing when we say "This one is good" but then there are many things that are still decluttered. Touching every items works.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

Definitely!

[@28pinkdancer]

i love that your new intro includes you and dani hugging :)

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

I agree!! ❤❤

[@GrunonFeliz]

April, the best question I learned and I use with all my clients is “if you were going to look for it, where would it be?”

[@smarterthanawaffle]

Great episode. Love the couple working together.

[@Jean2235177]

Love their kitchen. The bones of the cabinets/drawers are so efficient for the space. While it’s a small kitchen by American standards, it’s really a great space!

[@Jean2235177]

The utensil drawers 😍

[@lindapark4089]

April is one of my favorite KZbinr! She has provided such good ideas!

[@gaylathrom]

Great couple! Great storage. They had helpers unpacking who didn’t do such a horrible job but as she said…they didn’t have ownership over the set up. And doing the math…when they moved in the baby was tinier and she is breastfeeding. All said, they are a lovely couple. Like Colin, Jasper is a modern husband. They just don’t take care of their stuff…they participate in the whole household not just “help” like they are doing the wife a favor. I hope this is more the norm.

[@JenOooo]

I am absolutely in love with the wall shelving in the background 💕 Stunning piece of furniture 😍 Can't wait to see it in a future video 📸

[@meganfulton6718]

It always makes me so sad that you need to remind people not to be mean in the comments. You are such a ray of sunshine, keep shining your light!

I wish to find me a living room/kitchen so sunny like this one some day cause i feel my mood would sky rocket, and if the bedroom is on the same side too -- heaven❤ and sunny colours too!

I am loving this series! And I agree it’s wonderful when everyone in the household is involved. ❤ I am looking forward to the next episode very much.

[@doraleelane5486]

I put all trash bag liners in the bottom of the can they go in. That way you never have to look for them.

[@lauramitchell6725]

When Laura asked her husband if they should store the bathroom trash can liners in the kitchen or the laundry room,I was thinking,um.. bottom of the bathroom trash can?🤭

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

I do this too! 😊

[@frejamller2416]

So fun seeing someone from Europe on this channel! As Dane, I love following their decluttering journey 😍 On another note tho, for some reason, the sound on this video is incredibly low. I have it on full blast to hear anything, but then I almost die every time an ad pops out. Usually not an issue, but god. The heart attacks I´ve gotten from this video are real 😂

[@hafsaqourchikhaldoun3925]

omg I had the same issue with the sound! I’m watching from Belgium and it was so exciting to see someone from the Netherlands too. Really enjoying April’s series

My canned food is in bottom drawr and on the top of thd lid I write what they are eg chick p, b beans, just my own shorthand and the date I bought them eg month and year 5/ 24 to remind me to use them up . I often have 3 to 4 cans of my most used cans but every now and then I totally run them out and then replenish.

[@lauramitchell6725]

This is an excellent idea,because it seemed kind of impractical to me.👍🙌🏻

[@qhaireeniqa7936]

I really like Jasper.. The little reaction get me every time like this 28:18 😁 Thank you for joining in the series.. Definitely super duper helpful and supportive… You’re awesome on camera.. I have a question what if children going to touch the food..? I don’t know maybe toddler..

[@lindalswe]

In Sweden this type of ”food-basement” was in everybodys house before the fridge! Really good for stoaring potatoes and so on! Love it!!

[@EvelynSaungikar]

Best translation into English would be “cold cellar”.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

I think some in the US called them root cellars.

[@J3an_j3an]

I feel like the nail clippers should go if not with the medical stuff then in the draw with the batteries. Probably not hygienic in the cutlery draw😅. They have a beauty home, I’m sure once it’s organised they will be able to place items in better zones. 😊

Especially since the battery drawer is still right in the kitchen!😂🤣😅

[@daniellecomeau2996]

For the "basement", add a false floor to bring it up level with the kitchen floor and then invest in a larger storage rack on heavy duty wheels for easy access to stored items.

[@daCubanaqt]

I was thinking the same thing with the false floor! I think they should add wider shelves so they don’t have to reach in as much or perhaps pull out drawers? Or, they can use the area for brooms, vacuums, tall awkward item, hanging aprons? I have so many ideas for the “cellar.”

[@suzannenickerson4283]

@@daCubanaqt Yes! I immediately thought of a cleaning closet with brooms, mops, vacuum, cleaning products, etc.

my favorite boterham is peanutbutter with Hagelslag, very dutch, very Reeses peanutbutter cups I suppose. Not the same as cake sprinkles and mor elike the filling in American cereals. the Kelde ror under the stairs basement seems perfect for cleanng stuff like buckets and brooms and extra washing up liquid or laundry detergent so you have less visual clutter from the couch

This was actually really neat to watch, because one of my Grandma's was Dutch. Though, being older now, I don't recall any indicators of that, but I remember being told. Anyways, this was neat.

[@juliemiller2658]

I have a dark corner in a lower cabinet in my kitchen that frustrated me, I ended up stuffing a cardboard box back there so my stuff couldn’t be pushed further than I could reach.

[@lauramitchell6725]

I bought a large roasting pan at the thrift shop,lined it with foil and tied a rope to one of the handles. I put party stuff in it and pushed it back into the recess. I also taped a LARGE note inside that cabinet door,listing the contents,like a running inventory.

[@sbfineart1]

I just finished round two of decluttering and organizing, kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. I bought slide out undersink organizers for the bathrooms and laundry room, which are game changers for me. Otherwise, I followed your "use the containers you have" advice. Love watching your videos for the inspiration to do what I'd been putting off for years!

The power of spending a little time now, to save a lot of time later. Not being able to see the labels on tins would drive me nuts, however.

solidarity for keeping nail clippers in "weird" places! we keep a pair each by the front and back door because we clip our nails outside!

[@lauramitchell6725]

However,the irony is that April wanted to put it in the utility drawer,which is simply a spin around from where it was,and the drawer is in the food prep island where the fruit was stored underneath,hence part of the kitchen? 🤔🤨

[@samstruys3088]

Hi guys Great job.... 😊. They gave so little cluttered and such een prachtig huis en wat een mooie inrichting en design. All this AND little kids? Amazing!!!! Glad dat Jasper is helping Laura and April. He sure is a practical guy, like when he switched chairs because he wanted a high back to stand against. Great work. I'm from Belgium and would have loved to ask for the Space Maker's help but wouldn't dare show my clutter. Though I'm not per se a hoarder, OCD and scarcity mindset and tons of sentimental reasons would make it likely too difficult for April. But dang, I could use help.

[@suzannegerstner2841]

Good Job! I have to say one thing that you do, April, that drives me nuts is storing glasses and cups right side up. All my life I have stored them upside down so that things (dust or whatever) don't drop into the cups and are ready to use. Display cups of course upright, but seldom used and must be washed before use. I guess to each their own, but would like your thoughts. Enjoy watching this Dutch Series as I am half Dutch. I am curious to see how we are the same different in storage needs. Their dining area looks so sunny, I know you only had it closed for the filming result. If I know my Dutchies they would have been sitting there with the sun fully streaming in. The Dutch historically live in smaller spaces and are pretty efficient, so I am not surprised at a small clutter pile, plus they recently moved into new kitchen, so they purged some. I am interested in how the dining room is gonna go and what that baking area is now looking like.

[@jmb2202]

Its nice to see this series since I am from the Netherlands. And we don’t have the big spaces what u have is fun to get ideas

“Powerful trashcan” 😂

[@katieallen3927]

The “basement” area is very unusual and challenging. I would use it for things I don’t use often. I did wonder if a pullout shelving unit would make it more functional, hard to tell from viewing it on film vs in person and you would lose significant storage if you did something like that.
