I see turning her second 'storage' room into closet dressing room. Making her bedroom a relaxing beautiful space!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

I think so too!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Agree, excellent idea, devote the storage room to a dressing room. I'd keep the beautiful antique trunk in the bedroom though,bits a piece that should be enjoyed.

[@TheAllthatmattered]

Can we please get the whole series of a whole house. I really like the energy of the video❤

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

You got it 😜

[@Quntah888]

Such a sweet woman, I’m happy to see she’s getting help ☺️

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

She really is. And you'll get to see more of her soon!

[@bevalexander5897]

A friend of mine took all her scarves and sewed them together. Then sewed all of them to a sheet on the back for support. She used it as a topper for her bed and it was really beautiful, and she was able to see her scarves every day.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Oh that's such a clever idea!

[@emmneto]

That's so creative! Thanks for sharing!

[@coolcpa3321]

I framed my late grandmother's Dior and my late mother's Hermes. Both scarves were among several they purchased on visits to Paris and these two were their favorites. They're decorative and remind me of these wonderful women.

[@DecoLemon]

Great idea!

[@tinamax4023]

I know it probably won‘t work with so much stuff but I‘ve recently seen someone put all the clothes into categories so that you immediately see how many pieces of for example shorts you have, which makes it easier to see what you want to keep and how many similar items you have.

[@shola7987]

Loved this! Can't believe how long Dani has lived with all this chaos. Good job Dani! Defo think she needs to move all the furniture around so she can actually open all the drawers too. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Absolutely! I'd love to no longer need those basket cabinets at all because she doesn't like them or how they function.

[@debraburgess2764]

For myself I never try to sell items because when I declutter just want stuff gone or cluttering up house. Just did my closet and can't wait for it to go but don't drive so need to wait for a ride.

[@jenniferpearce1052]

@@SpaceMakerMethod I don't like baskets! Interior designers always talk about having natural textures but they biodegrade, snag and collect dust! Triple fail! They look nice new. The cubbies could be good as shelving though.

Dani was so great as getting rid of stuff. she was ready!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

I really don't think she needed my help. She was READY to let go.

I love her spirit. She seems so fun & optimistic. I'm enjoying this episode. I love when you declutter other people's homes. The joy on their faces is so rewarding. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Seeing their personal transformation immediately afterwards and then in the months following is the most rewarding. It's why I do this.

I like how fast this woman makes decisions. She doesn’t tell a story about about each article of clothing. You go girl!

[@Elle_Gael]

I'm 34, and I 100% had cami's like that my junior year! That's all I wore my junior year - various brightly colored cami's with the same shrug over top, all from Target lol. 🤦‍♀😅 On the video note, this was an amazing declutter! I'm currently helping my mom work on decluttering our shared basement craft/art studio that is filled to the brim in every available spot, and after over a decade of feeling like the walls are caving in, we have SPACE. My mom is in the same place Dani is in, overwhelmed and ready to let it all go. She's decluttering stuff from a past life (no longer freelance teaching art classes or selling at festivals, and at 61, no longer able to do certain crafts or even wanting too) and me too, a few things down there are mine. Over the past week ALONE, we've (but mainly her!) let go of a few carloads and we have removed 9 shelf units from the space! 😄

[@WBCRO]

That’s fantastic! I can sense your relief and excitement. You’re a wonderful daughter! (I’m a 61-year-old mom and I always appreciate when my daughters help me with projects.)

Well done to ye both 👏👏 The quick win makes all the difference. Dani went through those rails and drawers so quickly it was amazing. I think she’s going to enjoy doing her homework tbh. Lucy and Ricky are so cute too. Yes Lucy is loving these new spaces to explore. I’m looking forward to more in this series. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏💪👍🙏💐🦮🐈

Dani is ON HER GAME! She knew exactly what to do; she just needed a little extra motivation! Super satisfying to see her make such quick decisions, and make so much progress in one session. I’m so looking forward to seeing how she did with her homework, and seeing the next installment! Love Dani! Wish she were my friend. ❤

So I pause the video for a bathroom break & on my way back, glance at my makeup rack, & think, “You know, I could declutter a few things…” 🤔 45 minutes later my trash bin needs a new bag & I’ve completely redone my system by color & product type instead of brands! I need to watch you more often! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

bahhahaha I LOVE IT! 💛 Go Beth!

[@bethirwin7445]

@@SpaceMakerMethod 😳😁

[@DipityS]

It's all so pragmatic and mundane. It's just grab the first pile and begin, then grab some more. Have someone there who asks the right questions, keeps you on target and focused, and plough through the deluge of decisions. The end result is magical and freeing and wonderful. I think Dani was amazing! A-Ma-Zing!!! She just powered through - she was so ready to get to the other side. Her space looked so much better just with this one go through - go Dani - you are glorious! And I love angry little Lucy and happy little Ricky 😊

[@lindaroyal8161]

She has a great personality and so determined to get back on track. She's doing a good job. Look forward to seeing the entire room transform, a nice little series. I agree with other comments; the storage room, once decluttered can be a dressing room/storage room. The bedroom will be just a bedroom sanctuary. I'd keep the beautiful antique trunk in the bedroom to enjoy!

Dani and April, you are very friendly people. Going for coffee with you would be so much fun.

[@marjoleinhoonhout5398]

Another quick win: please swop all of your hangers to the velvet ones. You have enough of them and it will look so much better! And immediately get rid of those existing donate and recycling piles now that they are still manageble. That will feel so liberating and airy!

[@ennskale]

Oh she is defenetly visual organising person. I am too. I need to see every clothing I have, but I don't want that to be "in my face" out to see all the time. So closed doors, but in there as visually presented as they can be. Huge hug for Dani for her progress!!!! Drawer that didn't open fully beside the bed could maybe be the out -seasonal clothing storage, that you don't need to open often 🤔 Keep up the good process 🫶

[@texasred2702]

Decided to revisit this after watching part 1 of the final episode--big difference 6 months later. Dani was charismatic from the beginning, and Lucy showed every sign of being the cantankerous star she is.

[@lovemichelle3657]

Can you do a follow up on how much she was able to make by selling her clothes. And a lot of ppl think they are doing good by "donating" but only a small portion get's to the next owner and a lot ends in landfill. Please teach your clients how important mindful spending consumption is.

[@lithopheliax61x5]

While that's true, that mindset does not help while decluttering. It does not help anyone or anything, if you keep things around, to not throw it away, and that is a thought process that many people have, and then have a bad conscience throwing things out...

[@MSHoneybee210]

Oooo taking the color test beforehand could’ve been a game changer for her decision process ❤

[@moviemommy9039]

I would have labelled the different containers / piles. because there are so many. Easy to get confused as to what goes where.

[@shannonstroud2479]

I think also labelling those baskets will help with the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ thing!

[@rocioiribe5841]

I agree. I can imagine that comes later when they get into hyper organization. I know April loves a label maker.

[@smz5302]

Me, too. I'd forget where to find what and where to put away. (I've done something similar...fewer categories...and I forgot over time...and stuff got mixed.)

[@merrivideo]

Yes, especially because she is a visual person.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Luckily we were both good at keeping the various declutter piles straight, and for the dressers... this is just a rough organization and we hope to do away with those in the long run.

This was great and I’m really looking forward to following this series. Seeing you facilitate Dani’s sorting process by moving items to the appropriate piles reminds me that that is the part that often slows me down: keeping things in the donate/ off season/ other room/ etc organized, especially when I return to sorting things the next time. I should really make labels I suppose.

Clothing swaps were a big contributor to my accumulation of clothing. It’s such a fun experience. I can see why people got so into Tupperware, and Avon, the whole social aspect of it. You know, when people bring things to a swap, they are essentially saying “no” to those pieces, so who can blame you if you also decline them. 😊 you’re adorable just as you are❤

I don't hear a lot of plus size people saying they love swim suits. What are her favorite brands /styles available in the USA for plus size women ?

[@daniphillips]

I have had great luck with torrid, shein, and target!

[@jenniferpearce1052]

I'm plus size and I love my Torrid suits. I'm an odd person who prefers underwires and they make suits that not only have a built in underwire bra, they have a band that hooks in the back inside the suit so that it _functions_. They also make suits withe a size and a cup size combo, which is unheard of. They are super tight to squeeze into the correct size for the first two or three wears. I wore a torrid suit for a year of 2x per week water aerobics/lap swimming and it lost all elasticity. Also, the color bled when I put my damp suit in my canvas gym bag. So be sure to check anything and rinse out loose dye. They also sell them seasonally. Probably coming out soon and they'll probably be into clearance in July or August. And they're expensive. TLDR: Torrid for expensive, well fitting suits with some drawbacks.

[@hopefully2224]

How do we accumulate so much stuff! Ugh. Im planning a move and im dreading it.

[@smz5302]

We moved 12 years' ago. I did a MASSIVE declutter/downsize starting at about 6 months' before moving...especially the basement because we didn't have a basement in the new house. Plus, I wasn't going to pay a mover to move so many books and other stuff that just needed to go. Smartest thing I've ever done. And STILL...too much stuff...had to declutter/downsize AGAIN after the move. My advice: Don't wait. Get started! Sending you motivating wishes.
