*FAST* Dollar Tree Small Space Organizing 🙌 (the TRUTH of old awkward spaces & finding motivation!)

[@hjburns]

My favorite line is, "Repeat after me, my house is not a store, my home is not a storage unit. My house is a place where I can live, and I can live simply." Perfect!

“You can’t organize clutter” is one of my favorite quotes of yours!! Love this way you blessed your Dad! Like the Dollar Tree bins best! 😊

[@kellyconner8066]

I love so much that you show us immediately how our homes don’t need to be Pinterest-worthy to be functional. All these you tubers use fancy acrylic storage, but dollar tree can be so easy and effective too!

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

"You can't organize clutter"! I really have to remember that one! It is so true! What a great job you did on your Dad's laundry room. It looks clean, organized, and efficient. "A place for everything, and everything in its place". Another great quote! And a great makeover. Kathryn, you did it again! Love your channel! 💙

You seriously are reading my mind. I want to organize a small space and needed help then boom you come through.

[@ei_maj]

02:16 this is so funny. When I help friends or family members clean/reorganize their space, I tend to remind them/ _warn them_ that the "pile" may overwhelm you momentarily. My mom and MIL both taught me the only way to properly, fully clean a space, is by making a gigantic mess first, as so. But the payoff is so worth it, no worries. Great video!!

[@brittanyholland7324]

It looks so much better! I also prefer the baskets from Dollar Tree. I feel like they keep their shape much, much longer.

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

Dollar Tree for the win! Katherine, I think a lot of reason why these items pile up and people's houses that they don't know how to get rid of them. You can't pour them down the sink. You can't dump them out on the ground. You can't put them in the garbage so they go into a landfill and many recycling centers do not have appropriate places for household cleaning products. It's quite a dilemma to recycle these things responsibly. That's why it's a good thing to get organized and then only buy what you need at the time that you need it.

[@MELANIEmel]

I love the way you use all these dollar tree products, I probably would have never thought of some these things !! Gosh that homemade lazy Susan, so great !!!

[@bridgeteastman2560]

I know others have already shared this sentiment, but you are a joyful person! You spread joy and we definitely need more of that in this world. Thank you for sharing your happy personality and helping each of us take back the joyful aspects of life. ♥️

I like the look of the Walmart storage bins, and I think it makes it look more high-end, but I also think the dollar tree ones look good, too. I agree with you on being able to keep them clean better, and also they are better for the budget.😊

I love watching how much you love what you do. It brightens my day. I'm slowly trying to go through my 91 y.o. Mother's home. I am her caregiver (full-time) and I'm finally feeling like going through her stuff. So much to organize and declutter. I'm so happy I found you.

[@sbhgrace3]

Advice for you my friend, she has a long lifetime of stuff to go through. These things are important to her or were at one point. Take it slow, share memories, ask her to share stories about items, have fun with it, make the downsizing a fun new memory of it's own.

[@knock3x]

@@sbhgrace3 this is really brilliant advice. A great reminder to consider that even if "things" aren't important to you, they sometimes have more meaning than face value to others. Thanks ❤️

You have inspired me to go through anything and everything I own. The most important thing I did was sort through years of paperwork and gave my shredder a workout. Everything I kept was put in a labeled folder, then file cabinet. I'm 62 and had a large health issue. All I could think of was, how are my adult kids going to find anything if I passed. It's been2 years, but nothing goes in a pile anymore. Next I redid my pantry, under the cabinets, dressers and closets. I feel so much more relaxed. Thanks all to you! YOU ARE ENOUGH! ❤

[@haleyanne86]

I got inspired this last year to start organizing my house and SO GLAD that I did because it feels SO GOOD to have a system in place that feels easy to work with and love knowing that everything is in it's place. ❤ I haven't looked back since!

No matter what I do...including going to the Dollar Tree website and searching the way you did in an older video, I cannot find a good Dollar Tree near me. I know of one pretty far away - an inconvenience - but it might be worth the trip as I cannot find any of the new 2022 organizing containers you showed in your video the other day. Maybe just the whole supply thing...I sure hope so as I really want to get organizing. Thanks, Kathryn!

I like the wooden bins above the washing machine because, as you said, it presents really nicely when you open the door. And then the dollar store ones are great on the other side because they are practical and easy. I love how you added the sign, photo, and the little plant. I always get a little cranky when I have to do laundry so those would put a smile on my face. Great idea.

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

LOVE the sentimental family sign and photo! What a wonderful makeover, Kathryn! Tip: Shorter people (my 5'4" mom) cannot reach the over-washer shelves and it activates old low back injuries. For your dad, though, this seemed perfect. I also much prefer the easy clean element of plastic/rubber containers. Tip for country folks: If your wash house is external & has open eaves, keep your dryer sheets in a plastic/rubber container/mason jar or move them inside & bring individual sheets to dryer as needed (re pests & leaking roofs). Great video, Kathryn! Bright blessings.
