I love the gentle adoration and affection, your hubby has towards you. So tender and sweet.❤

[@larajohnson8656]

I really like your videos. I like that you talk at a medium to slower pace and almost never say “um”. I like that your voice is melodic without being shrill. I like hearing your thought process when making decisions; it helps me think about my decluttering decisions more carefully. I also like your videos with your mom. You might be the best decluttering mentor on KZbin for the middle of the road non-minimal, non-hoarder person. Thank you! 😊

[@shannontorrens1]

Oh thank you!

[@kathyol]

You did it!! You got 100K subscribers!! Congratulations Shannon!!

[@shannontorrens1]

Yay! Thank you!

[@reynaaleman7645]

I love all your videos. After watching this video I declutterred my closet. It’s about the same size as your closet. My husband gets half. I put winter clothes away. All my clothes fit on my side. I have 27 pairs of shoes, that includes sandals and my slippers. My daughter-in-law wears one pair of croc black sandals every day. Even for special occasions. I wish I could be like her. I don’t have a lot of clothes and I wear all of my clothes. But I don’t seem to be able to declutter my shoe collection. I only carry one small black backpack as a purse. So no handbag obsession. Thank God! Thanks for inspiring me to declutter my closet.

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Great to see a Married Couple actually touch!

[@pamelabaskett9062]

I have a donation pile and didn't know where to put it. I love the idea of a basket in the closet corner!

[@marykimble5214]

I love the curtains versus the doors!

[@abundantlyinspired]

I took off my sliding doors years ago and I have never regretted it!!!❤ My clothing actually goes with the aesthetic of my bedroom so it has inadvertantly become decor😂and it makes me keep the closet neat because it's always on display!

[@smilingjacks83]

I ❤ this 😂

[@psr1lady]

Same here!

[@shannontorrens1]

Hello, Grant and I joked that if we had more beautiful clothing we could just keep the closet open LOL. I have seen some homes done in your style of an open closet and it can look really nice =)

[@barbkandel777]

Great closet make-over, Shannon! The grey curtains definitely look better. I love that dresses print that you framed too! ❤

[@simply.clutterfree]

My daughter decided to declutter her room this weekend and I can't believe how much she's found to part with in clothing. As she grows, we don't replace everything she declutters - so this naturally minimizes her wardrobe over time

[@shannontorrens1]

I love that! I try to do the same thing with my boys. Slow and steady declutter.

[@simply.clutterfree]

@@shannontorrens1 Works so well 😊

[@kathleenj1158]

Aww. Your husband is so sweet and so in love with you. 🥰

[@shannontorrens1]

😊 thank you

[@sarahpopovczak4411]

Love how you used the thrift store for a really cheap special occasion dress rental!

[@user-og9vl3lu9y]

Very natural and very realistic that's the way I like your style

[@pen5532]

I took my sliding closet doors off years ago and love it that way. One big plus is that I keep my closet clean, minimal, and organized. 🎉

[@shannontorrens1]

Love that!

[@denisemshores]

Love the picture of the dresses you hung in your room by the bed. Perfect for you with the pretty dresses you have!❤

[@shannontorrens1]

Oh thank you! I love it too. Little things can make us happy =)

[@sburwell75]

I keep a decluttering basket too and switch out my clothes seasonally. I live in IN and it's such a joy to put away the heavy winter things every spring. I love the curtains instead of those awkward doors. I just did the same thing to my washer closet. It is so much better!

[@wendyinegbenedo1307]

I also love using comforter and blanket zipper bags, to store linens and clothes. They are water resistant, dust proof, and see through, so its easy to find what I need. ❤

[@intherockies]

Awww, that was so sweet of your husband to give you a kiss while you were recording. Good team work on getting the closet done! Oh, I really like that art picture of the dresses! The gray curtains look great!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you!! 😊

[@CharisBombela]

I love the honesty on loosing weight after having babies and getting rid of things that don’t fit instead of keeping them and waiting for them to fit. I had a baby last year and I’ve started letting go of things that don’t fit while actively trying to lose some baby weight. I found that it’s keeping me from feeling sad and bad about myself. ❤

[@shannontorrens1]

Since Levi is my third baby I had a little bit of perspective behind my decisions. And I really think it's important to have some clothes that fit after we have babies. When I had my first I remember crying because nothing fit for so long and at the time I was weirdly against buying anything and I remember feeling terrible. Now I know eventually things will fit again it just takes time and if they never fit again that is ok too. ❤

[@lisaa3978]

Nice! I like the curtains. I think bifold doors work well too, to open up the middle of a wide closet.

[@rhondatallent2396]

I took my sliding doors off and put up floor-length curtains. They're so pretty.

[@shannontorrens1]

Love that!

[@lindamyers953]

Have you ever used the space saver bags to store items? Once you suck all the air out (using a vacuum) the bags are only a couple of inches high and stack on top of each other. The also have small ones to use for traveling! The bags save so much space and are very easy to maneuver.😎

[@bdazzlefromage]

I'm not a huge fan of curtains for closets, but everybody has to do what works best for them! Works fine for a temporary solution 😊

[@cantocant2346]

Small changes can make such a difference!

[@sallydansereau1270]

I also love Blue Ginger clothes from Maui. So pretty.

[@SavedByGrace713.]

Closet looked good 👍🏼 And your husband is in cheerful mood 😄Beautiful couple 😊

[@Siures]

Yes, you have a lot of clothes. But I think when you found your style and your body’s finished changing a lot (after babies) you really can add to your wardrobe. I am one of the „don’t purge, wear it out“ minimalists. So I still declutter slowly. But I already start adding clothes that fit to my current lifestyle and body (but will still fit when I lose a few pounds ;) ). Especially dresses will not wear out that much as jeans, go with minor weight changes and serve you many, many years when your able to switch between them regularly.

[@OrganizedWithJoy]

Nice job Shannon! It's always nice to get projects like this done, making a space more accessible and usable. We took all of the sliding doors off of the closets in our kids' bedrooms, but didn't put up curtains instead it's just open haha! My daughter actually has her desk in her closet to free up more space in her room. Thanks for sharing this project and your decluttering process with us!💖

[@shannontorrens1]

Hi Joy, That is such a great idea for kids. My boys have bifold doors that they never shut LOL. They might as well be off too.

[@lisafinlayson9853]

We took off the sliding doors and hung spring loaded rods with curtains. Almost always open, but when we need to cover the closets, easy to slide closed. Send those doors on their way!

[@diaphanouswaffle]

You two are so cute together, make a great team :) and what wonderful job you did with this project...looks a lot better and I bet it functions far better, too !

[@suzihill78]

I did exactly the same, except my top cupboards were hard to get into also so the whole front came off and we did floor to ceiling curtains. 2 years on I still love it.

[@tinao8676]

Rubbing candle wax on the top of older timber drawers will help them slide easier. If you use scented wax melts instead of candles, the drawers smell lovely.

[@stacistroud3692]

I was laughing about the jacket situation! I grew up in So Cal (Lancaster) and moved to Michigan when I was 12. I'm 62 now and STILL every Spring I want to put on my sandals while still needing mittens 😂! Excellent closet transformation. I'm now keeping a decluttering basket at all times. It really helps! Well done, Shannon. Hi 👋 Kathy! Grant, too...

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! I know the weather here is funny, most people think CA is always hot but it can get cold too. I hope you are having a nice Sunday. =)

You are soooo close to 100K Subscribers!! 99.8

[@debrastewart6714]

Hello Shannon, I like the sliding doors much better! It's more tidy in you room . Love your channel you have lots of great content . Take care 💞👍

[@shannontorrens1]

I have had a mixed experience with command hooks. In some cases they have worked great but other times they have done a lot of damage to the wall when we couldn't get them off. I have also had a few times where they fell off. I think because our walls have a thick texture they don't adhere very well.

[@goldcoastlady5377]

We took the doors off our fitted wardrobes 20 years ago and have floor to ceiling net curtains. We first used net curtains over the mirror doors in a previous property and it looked so good, that it was one of the first things we did when we moved here. Actually, we were discussing whether to remove a few of our internal doors the other day, as we never use them.

[@lindaroyal8161]

I like it so much better without the doors, makes much more sense. You're right, little changes makes a world of difference!

[@Toni-747]

Morning Shannon! You inspire us to keep going back through our homes! I filled a bag yesterday! ❤

[@shannontorrens1]

That is awesome!

[@youtubewatchings]

Looks great! Please do more clothing decluttering in future with some advices on how to declutter new clothes that you recently bought, maybe thats just me, but i sadly buy stuff i need to get rid off

[@dahlia42k12]

I love your family! small updates are better than getting into debt to do remodeling and updates, in my opinion. I would have picked the white curtain, but you said it is temporarily.

[@cynthia6055]

Perfect improvement...looks great Shannon!

[@tcup9011]

I always enjoy your videos! I love the sweet affection your husband shows to you, so sweet! And I always enjoy the way you explain things like the dress you’re not gonna keep because it has no structure and just hangs 😃 I know exactly what you mean and I feel we are good friends just talking things through 😂 Have a great day! 🥰

[@StitchingWithLove]

I like the softness and practicality of the drapes.

[@dawnsullivan6794]

I really like the change. Those large sliding doors would make me feel claustrophobic when trying to access my things. I know it’s temporary, but it’s a really nice solution for the time being. Now you’ve inspired me to declutter my closet and switch out my seasonal things! 🤗❤️🙏🏻

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! I am so happy this inspired you =)

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Dresses are the very best. 1 item of clothes YES. Clothes hangers make me stressed out!!!! I pit them in bags in laundry room

[@JO-mo3qp]

A tip you may know... My husband put double rods into our closets. One on top and one on the bottom. Double the storage. I fold my dresses over the hanger at the waist and they hang wrinkle free. Love your videos, Shannon! ❤

[@conniesmith3922]

Nice fix Shannon and Grant. Team work can be fun.❤❤❤

[@creativelycountry1617]

This is such a lovely temporary solution!!! Great!

[@debralawler-nt9si]

It makes sense to do little small improvements on a budget until you know exactly what you want to accomplish

[@laurawood4476]

Having your home function for you is the most important thing . Looks fine and especially if you have plans down the road to majorly change it . Bravo using curtains that you already had . Good job .

[@nikkidale1270]

I never understood the packing away of seasonal clothing..i wear tsnk tops and hoodies all year... but you guys did a great job!i love real video's like this😊

[@shannontorrens1]

I mostly only pack away winter things like big jackets because we only need them for such a short time where I live and we don’t have a coat closet. I keep all my clothes year round in my drawers and closet. I guess I prefer to have the current season stuff hanging because it’s easier to get to. 😊

[@Kate42]

I love what you and your hubby did with the closet. The drapes look so sophisticated. The room really looks more like you than ever before. Great job!

[@dianelathey3152]

Open closets are trending! I took all of my doors off and it makes life so much easier.

[@paulaphillips160]

I did the same thing with the closet doors in our house! We could never reach certain parts of the closet, and the curtains are way easier to use! Yours look great!

[@shellyg202]

Looks great! Love the grey. Mom knows best😊

[@GrunonFeliz]

Shannon, you will be amazed how much of a difference having all the same hangers makes! Maker sure the hanger part swivels, it’s easier to put stuff away. Also, hang everything facing the same way, looks sooo good! And I love the doors off!

[@nancyfeeser4653]

I agree even the good velvet hangers break. The are print is so cute. I love it.

[@seaglass8940]

This was timely and helpful, thank you!

[@colleen6921]

Looks great Shannon!!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

This is fun to watch, as usual!!!

Awesome idea! 👏👏👏👍💞

This was great!

[@laurelarmstrong4535]

Wonderful idea to remove the closet doors. It looks great with the gray curtains

[@janeweldon8874]

Love the curtains instead of doors! ❤

[@rebeccamc8084]

Another great video Shannon, I really love your content. Ive been slowly decluttering over the past 8 years, my home is so much more organised.

[@uzmaijaz7821]

Shannon Dear please accept my deepest gratitude for uploading such a lovely video!

[@Jeannes1234]

I love Katie Daisy’s art too! I think the curtains look great! I took the doors off the closet in my craft room and hung curtains too and love it!

[@MsJujubee3]

12:05 😍 So sweet!

[@Julie-gz2lx]

Great improvement! Love the grey curtains. 🙂

[@shannontorrens1]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@alexandraswindells2953]

Love this. Congratulations on your following ❤

[@MrGrumpyGills]

I also would've chosen the gray curtains - since the fabric is a bit heavier they hang/fall (?) very nicely, their color matches quite well with the walls and there's no gap at the top as it was with the white ones. Aside from that they make it look as if they'd been there from the beginning instead of the sliding doors. Using curtains with closets actually can be a style choice these days as well 🙂 It's great you were able "shop your home" and didn't have to buy new ones. Grant makes it seem so easy when he repairs/transforms things around the house and it's always a change for the better! PS: The light blue dress you were wearing at the end looks so nice on you, the color is very flattering and the style is cool 👍

[@reneemenary7641]

Thanks Shannon - I always enjoy your videos.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much for being here. I hope you are doing well.

[@petro3441]

Small but yet a huge difference.👌👌

[@jonareyes3221]

Grant is so sweet❤ Love your channel Shannon ❤ This week I’m going to drop off my 3 bags of donations ❤ Thanks for all the inspiration

[@user-hw9vf4pl9s]

I really like the redo looks like it will function so much better than the doors being there, I prefer the curtain look to the doors on closets. I like the shirt you're wearing so cute!

[@Tubewomen]

That was a great improvement . Love watching your videos ❤they are simple and inspiring to watch . Your channel is so realistic and you’re so down to earth 😀❤!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much for being here! I hope you are doing well.

Great job!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you!

[@vintageresalemama903]

I like the updated closet! It'll be nice to be able to access the middle of the closet more easily now.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! It's already so much easier to get to everything. I hope you are having a nice weekend.

[@sct4040]

I liked the closet doors better even though they were not as practical. The closet was charming and goes with the house.

[@BR-kk9qu]

I’m glad this is working out for you! I think all closets …unless custom… need extra workable tweaks!! Love the artwork! - Belinda

[@shannontorrens1]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lyndarossi933]

Great video Shannon!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you!!

[@suncoolbreeze2656]

I’m here in SoCal too. I love ❤️ your closet without those doors. They were kind of an eyesore, but the curtains are beautiful. Love 💕 the gray color, it’s perfect. My closet has 4 half doors that always seem to be in the way. They are pretty, but such a pain sometimes. Glad to find another CA content creator to watch. 😊

[@j.m.7056]

You've added not only function but the curtains soften the wall. I removed bi-fold doors from a laundry room (actually a closet with the w& d). Hung a curtain and it looked great! Small changes are so much fun!

[@shirleyadkins4254]

Luv it

[@susanwelch2237]

Your videos are so good!!!!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much!!

[@Revmaggie]

I liked the white curtains. Maybe it’s different in person but on my tv screen they looked better. Great job on the closet.

[@shannontorrens1]

I felt they blended better, but in the end the gray ones actually slide easier and in real life they do look higher quality.

[@Revmaggie]

Excellent!

[@CharleneEvenson]

We have curtains on the window, behind the bed and we also removed our closet doors and hung curtains. So you are not the only one.

[@GILLIANMOOR-ed9ii]

British weather is all over the place to. So like you finding it hard to let go of clothes.

[@debralawler-nt9si]

I like the gray

[@joburkham8890]

Yes that door would drive me crazy ! I just built a New home and a huge walk in closet with one wall with built in shoe boxes . No doors . It's open and actually makes the room look bigger. You'll love it .! Love from Texas

[@shannontorrens1]

That sounds amazing! I have never lived in a house with a walk in closet LOL. I can only dream about how nice that would be. =)

[@FrannyNan]

Loved this video. I did the same with our bedroom closet. Just put a curtain up and it looks nicer than the door did. You look so pretty here. I love your beautiful hair. Have a Blessed day! 💙🌻🦋

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much!

[@queenofputrescence5167]

Your Mom was right. The gray curtains are so much better!

[@janjentz1053]

Your closet with the curtains looks great. I am still struggling with moving from So. CA to Utah with 4 very distinct seasons, including snow. I feel like my clothing situation now is less miniminal, needing more winter clothing; but we all need to be somewhat flexible as the need or lifestyle changes.

[@desareechalanick7564]

Great job! What of you add hardware to the dresser? :)

[@kimberlyakers5923]

well aren't you two the cutest.
