EXTREME DEEP CLEAN, ORGANIZE & DECLUTTER WITH ME 2019 // BEAUTY AND THE BEASTONS

[@Sarah_Catherine]

I feel like that’s a great storage area for kids things and a great place for them to do homework when they’re older! Painting it white I feel like will open up the living room a lot more

[@TheNewinFamily]

Sarah Catherine I love white cabinets! Hopefully ina year or two we can remodel our kitchen! Cannot wait! 😭😭😭

[@LunaKushG]

Before you decide to tear it down I would “pretend to not have it” aka put everything inside of it in its new home and don’t use that area at all. That should help you decide how useful that space is!

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Good idea. I voted to remove it but this is good advice for all types of situations.

[@the.amanda.garcia]

Yes! It has so much storage I know personally I would hate to lose the storage but really whatever your family needs girl!

[@LunaKushG]

Amanda Garcia yesss I totally just got a new tv stand, it looks nicer for sure but I missed out on soooo much more storage with my old one and I ended up dreading the process of getting my new tv stand when I could have enjoyed it if I had either planned better or thought about storage and use!

[@cracker_jacq_kc8552]

I would paint it white, that will be a great computer and homework area when the kids are in school

[@mykastauffer]

Girl you have no idea how much I need this motivation after a long trip 💕 love you girl!

[@TheNewinFamily]

Myka Stauffer I know how that feels! After a long trip, I tend to get a little lazy and have to recover a little bit so this definitely helps! How was your trip!? Hope you had a safe and fun one! 😇😇😇

[@micheleparker159]

Paint it white!! Good area to have a computer and stationary area for the kids to do crafts and or hw as they get older!

[@sarahwood2025]

I say knock the desk area and wall out to make the living room flow into the kitchen!! The desk seems like it doesn’t serve any functional purpose other than storage! Taking out that wall it’ll feel so much bigger and open and you’d be able to see what the kids are doing more easily!

[@eleshaburgess8567]

Sarah Wood Same make it all open plan.

[@katier.6496]

Knock it down and make a open space. It’s easy to store all that stuff in other places. It’ll be so much bigger and room to have kids play. Less cleaning also if it’s taken out. The kids stuff can go into the play room.

[@kaitlynsaunders1588]

I would take it out. The kids can always work on school things at the table. Plus it’s less storage to keep unnecessary things! Thanks for the motivation 😊

[@lorenwann3712]

Knock that cabinet out girl! The room will feel so much more fresh and light. The cabinet seems to darken the whole space. Super satisfying watching you clean that out though! xx

[@b.mckenzie4141]

You asked about removing the built-in old desk. I say remove desk which looks dated and takes up real estate and take down the wall between kitchen and family room. The area will appear so much larger with an open floor plan. If you need storage for the kids that you'll miss from the old desk, you can always get a boxed one with cubbies.

[@LitMom]

😱 I didn’t even know there were couch cushion that had stuffing that just came all out like that. I would be so scared once I took it out they would never be the same. Love your channel 🤗. Great motivation as always.

[@pmolina839]

Thanks for the motivation. I would definitely knock the desk out and make it all open space.

[@Theedebtcollector]

It’s so sweet the way you ladies collab and support each other

[@tlea1223]

My suggestion is to KEEP KEEP KEEP the shelving unit. You are going to need this area to stay sane throughout the years you are raising your kids. I’m not kidding I’m speaking from experience. I tore one out and ended up having to purchase things to put everything in and then things were strung out all over the place. At least this way it is all contained. I promise you won’t regret it. You can’t do away with having to have all of this stuff throughout the school years and it will come in handy as an easy way for the kiddos to help keep things organized and put away. And honestly you may be over it but it really is a beautiful place to display and SO SO PRACTICAL. Paint it white to change it up some. That will give it a fresh feel for you but my suggestion is to KEEP IT.

[@mattsvalentine8688]

Definitely paint it white. It’s such a great storage and desk area. Great for the kids to use when they are older too. Out in the open. I love it!!!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Oh the couch I so need to clean mine! It’s such a chore to take all the covers off! Love both you ladies

[@amandamacmiller6198]

I would knock the desk out! Love the video 💕

[@carolinejohn4537]

You're right that was a work out, I was exhausted just watching you wrestle with those cushion and seat covers ! There's too much valuable storage to do away with that desk and cupboard unit. I'd definitely paint it white and just get new door knobs to freshen up the look. Great video, thanks Tiffany x

[@SYRSALLY]

Loveeeeee the built in desk. I wouldn’t get rid of it. EVER!!!

[@louisemurray1163]

I really love seeing both of you together! You look so goofy sometimes. You make me laugh. I hope and pray this goes on forever.

[@randibennett1470]

I would paint the wall units white. I love all the storage and would be great for your kids as they get older. The white would open things up and look good with your kitchen too. Everything looked great!

[@ThatEminemguy]

I would paint it white and keep it! That’s such an amazing space for storage, home office, or even a place for your boys to do homework once they hit school age.

[@theproductivemommy8169]

My husband made me get a leather couch before we had kids. I disliked it a LOT!!! But I am so thankful for leather right now with 2 kiddos making messes around! When we grow up as a family though, totally getting warm soft covers! Haha!

[@theproductivemommy8169]

@Jane Sanchez Oh! cats vs kids lol everyone is trying to make us clean so much more hahaha! Yes, I do love the fact of how easy it is to clean!

[@TheNewinFamily]

With the leather couches, I feel like it is easier to clean but the leather you have to keep up with it otherwise it starts to crack and tear! But soft covers do get dirty easier! So both good and bad! For our covers we got insurance on it so we’ll definitely be putting that to use!

[@cathleenweaver6483]

How do you clean your leather couch?

[@theproductivemommy8169]

@@cathleenweaver6483 I use baby wipes for MANY of my surfaces. They degrease really well and are definitely baby safe :)

[@cathleenweaver6483]

@@theproductivemommy8169 Great idea. My kids are grown with families of their own, but I do have an elderly kitty and the baby wipes isna good idea. Thanks.

[@theproductivemommy8169]

Giveaway bucket is a genius idea!!! I have it hidden away but now as you are saying about people seeing it, I will totally put it in a public place! Thank you for this!

[@kjoshanks2928]

I have a give away make up box.. my neice always goes straight to it..

[@theproductivemommy8169]

@@kjoshanks2928 that's so cute!

[@katiescollard910]

Paint white for sure. It will add character to the room and blend in a lot more. If you got rid of it you would have to find new storage for all that stuff that you have easy access to right now. It will also be great for the kids when they get older for homework and projects. I think once its white it will look totally transformed and you will love it!

[@Youreawizardharry1]

that couch looks so comfortable yet so much work! We’ve had fabric couches but with dogs found it’s so much better switching to leather! So easy to wipe down especially when they get muddy outside! But we also live in the south so I’m sure fabric is much cozier in snowy weather!❤️

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Hey girl! I’m so happy we got to collab on this! You’re seriously amazing!! Love you! 😘

[@Nancyvlogs33]

This Crazy Life I subscribe

[@wwchristys_adventures9546]

I think the cabinets would look great painted white! I don’t think you can have too much storage areas. I loved the motivation from this video!

[@SparkleAndSalt]

Awesome video! Super motivating 😊👏🏼 I’d say paint the desk white. It’s a beautiful piece and as you already know, with 3 kids you can always use more storage space!

[@desertrose966]

I would paint the cabinet white. it's great for storage and it will be a nice place for the kids to do homework or projects when they get older. I also agree with using scotch guard on the sofa, it will save you a lot of work.

[@rklillibridge92]

Knock it down and the wall! Imagine walking straight into the living room and seeing the view of the kitchen your kids and not having to walk around! You have plenty of storage in that house! Plus the new couch you were talking about.. I say no more sectional.. you can do so much with that space and love it

[@EverGreenHome]

I love storage but I think it would be good to take it all down, you could always incorporate storage another way to best flow

[@marijane8665]

Great video! I came here from Amanda’s site and love watching her and really enjoyed yours too.

[@amandafelts1982]

I love the feeling after it’s all done! You’re a rockstar!

[@katherinecagney5875]

Although it would be nice to have the flow from the kitchen to the living room I would paint it white because you actually use it. If you didn’t use it I’d be all for tearing it out. It’s a good place to store children’s books, puzzles and crafts. It’ll be a good study area as they grow up too so I would say keep it in and paint it. 🤗 Or you could take it out and eventually do a study room for the kids when they get older or you could add desks and computers to the play room

[@amandaellis-ballard9756]

Very ambitious! I like the built ins. It houses all that stuff to keep you organized. I'd love that. Maybe get a window pane mirror to put under there or something.

[@Only_Cats_OC]

Thank you! 1) I love your cleaning videos (well all of your videos really)! 2) I'm so glad you wash your couch too. My husband teases me about doing this. I showed him that you do it too, and he sees that maybe I'm not so abnormal lol 😂. If it were my house I'd keep the desk, but that's because I homeschool. So it would make a great space for that.

[@Nikkayx26]

I am always excited when I see you uploaded a cleaning video. I will watch it like three times to help me clean my whole house.

[@patchintheprairie]

Always love your cleaning videos! 💕 I always have to clean our couches. More than I’d like to! The couch gets destroyed with the kids 😆

[@KathyMLifestyle]

Your voice always sounds so soothing to listen to while watching you clean, haha. It makes it seem like it will be relaxing to clean... although I do admit my brain feels much clearer in a clean home.

[@amandac9130]

Yes love you cleaning videos!! One of the best “rules” I ever decided to make was to only let my kids have water on the couch.. it has seriously made things sooo much easier. I’m pretty lenient about a lot but that is one thing I don’t budge on.

[@amandac9130]

Also... i feel like if you knock it down you might as well knock that whole wall down if you could. Maybe put A big dining table there or something. If you can’t knock the wall down I would keep the shelves (for now at least while the kids are young) and paint them white ...all that storage would come in handy.

[@APeacefulPursuit]

I say paint it white!! I'm not really sure how much wall space there is between it and the end of your wall going into your kitchen, but you could potentially still take down part of the wall to have a more open concept. White would be so pretty 😍

[@mrs.c3523]

For whether to keep the desk or not- I say knock it all down, but put in built in cabinets or shelving along the wall (between the sliding door and that window in your dining area) that are similar to your kitchen cabinets so it matches well. You’ll still have that storage, but you’ll have the open room.

[@chassell9478]

I love the open concept ! It would give you a lot of living space

[@thatskiki5872]

Paint it!!! It’s soo much added storage for you and you family! 😘😘❤️

[@gurneetjandaluviieee]

I would keep the desk area! It’s going to be great for a computer and a place for kids to do homework!

[@lilylaines4740]

Only you can manage two of my favorite things 1) cleaning/organizing and 2) ASMR!!! I swear your voice overs are the best! I’m inspired and relaxed all at the same time 😁

[@samanthawilliams239]

I would keep it and paint it white. It's such a good storage area for coloring books and all the paper things that come along with having kids. Plus its a huge selling feature if you ever decide to move.

[@effykim3334]

Hello Tiff! My name is Jy-hye (pronounce it as G-he) and I am from Korea. I have been watching your videos for months! And they are so relaxing. ❤️ I bought so many products from watching your videos. I even had to bought some stuff from overseas lol. I love love your channel :) and there is so much love in your family! Thank you so much for posting those videos. I am sure it requires a lot of work. Anyhoo, I have a question about Downy Unstopables. I have seen you using the blue one and the pink one. Which one was your favorite and which one would you recommend? :)

[@tanya2269]

I have the same kind of stuffing in my through pillows and I didn't know now I was going to wash them. Thanks for the idea :)

[@TheNewinFamily]

SUNDAYS are my cleaning and decluttering days! For my couches, I usually put large blankets over them especially when I have people over it. That helps with keeping them nice and clean. Plus they’re extra soft! Haha and I love how little pup is just hanging around while mommy cleans! So cute! Stop by our channel and say hi 👋

[@Kalynrd522]

Just a tip for getting the covers back on easier...turn the cover inside out and shove your hand inside the cover (you should be touching the exterior of the cover) put your hand in the corner and grab the cushion. Repeat to the other corner and then you should be able to just easily pull the cover over the remainder of the cushion.

[@Brittbritt15]

We have a couch similar to your last one thing that helped restore our couch/pillows I used pillowcases from Dollar Tree (body and regular pillowcases) to put the stuffing back I to. It helps to maintain their shape and structure. Just an FYI 😀

[@emilytorres5818]

I think you should keep it!! :) in a few short years it will be time for the boys to need a homework station! I think the white sounds adorable

[@zorgon2426]

OMG your storage! I'd keep the storage and just paint it! It will make such a difference just to paint it, and then in a few years if you still don't like it you can get rid of it!

[@annettemullan7387]

I really think you should paint the desk area in like a buttercream color so its not too stark white. I wish I could have something like that built-in. You have a lot of storage. Great video. ❤

[@joaniedillard1446]

I so so so needed this motivation this morn bc I'm starting my spring cleaning today! Love love love your cleaning videos!

[@ashtens8538]

Take it down and have the living room flow into the kitchen !!!!!!!!

[@thesteamymama4676]

Your face when you opened the coloring book cabinet 😂😂😂 I think paint it white, and have the kids use it as a homework desk when they get older. Or Carter can us it as his editing desk when he has his spin off vlog channel 😉❤

[@alexbreanna6939]

This makes me want to go organize my junk drawers at 3 am 😂 also we tore down part of our wall between the living room and kitchen and was scared but loved the final result!

[@Onetiredmama11]

I always thought your desk would look great painted white but now I think I'd rather just take it out completely. With your growing family I think you guys could really benefit from the extra space and more open concept. Plus, you wouldn't have to worry about always cleaning and dusting that thing! PS the crumb that magically disappeared off your bottom at about 4mins cracked me up!😂

[@kimnembhard2880]

I would paint it white because that is a lot of great space for the kids to utilize as they get older.

[@Leftyright19284]

I would keep the cabinets and paint them white!.. this will be a great homework station when the kids get older!.

[@paulascott4896]

I think you should definitely get rid of that desk unit and open up the room into the kitchen with lovely bifolding doors to open up into your garden, it would look lovely.

[@rhondaoakley804]

We had an open area and put cabinets in to help with the noise. Leave the cabinets.. Paint it white if you want, but from someone who had the open flow and will never go back I say leave it. It also gives a little private shield and space. Best thing we ever did was put a bearer between kitchen and den. Either way I'm sure you'll make the area look nice.

I would definitely paint it white! Never get rid of storage!

[@aliciamcdaniel4160]

I say knock it down! You could easily get a small cabinet to hold the kids craft supplies & such. But it would be easier to see them when cooking dinner, etc. I personally love wide open spaces!

Open concept would be my choice but that is a ton of storage. I suggest practicing going without it by emptying it for a few weeks first. If the storage becomes important, then you have your decision!!
