You are a decorator not a hoarder! You need your tools! It always is easy to just drop things in that kind of space, there’s always a time to tidy! Having beautiful things available to decorate events is a gift and a blessing! Don’t convince yourself (or let others) it’s bad! I have a very similar closet, enjoy it! 🎉 Good job tidying it up!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it! 😊

[@beckyberrett2415]

Oh Andrea, how I would love to shop your storage room! If you think your room looks bad you should see mine! We all have them! 😩 Hope Isaiah gets to feeling better . He's such a doll, your whole family is precious! Love your blog.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aww thank you so much!!

[@jankinman4685]

Thank you, thank you! I wish I had a space like yours! I’ve wondered how you store all your “extras”. You are not a hoarder! I agree with Lana. “You have a gift & you need your tools”. Perfect space. You are using your organization skills well! Can’t wait to see how you two finish out the basement! Prayers for your family to be well!

[@terrilynch9328]

All of us have a room like this! We’re not hoarders; we are decorators!

[@lynnloehr1566]

YOU ARE NOT A HOARDER!! I know it feels overwhelming sometimes, but if you love to decorate and you enjoy changing things for the seasons, you have extra stuff. Most people have an entire storage locker where they pay good money to store all of their junk. You are a fairly large family and if that is all you are storing, you are doing great!! I live in a historical home that is less than 1000 sq. feet and editing is a constant job. I try to employ a one in one out policy and that helps a lot. Then you are editing all the time. but only a little bit. Give yourself grace, you are doing a great job. Go back upstairs and love on that baby, you did a great job!!

[@thomaswiegand7348]

NEVER,NEVER be embarrassed for what life brings you. You, family and home are so beautiful. I know you and hubby are grateful people and thank God regularly. P.S. you are NOT a hoarder--you are a collector--big difference. Love you and feel well with son.

[@lauragreen4899]

Andrea, thank you for keeping it real. We all have places like that in our homes. It's nice to know that you are normal and just like the rest of us. Your home is beautiful and it's okay to have a storage room to keep stuff. And it doesn't have to be perfect. I like what one KZbinr, I think it was the secret slob, said. Progress not perfection. So again thanks for keeping it real. Look forward to seeing what else you do down the basement.

[@conniemcquaid8795]

Don’t apologize or be embarrassed This is real life and situations we all deal with and it’s wonderful to share ideas Thank you

[@shellybell7240]

Ok….thank you so much for this video!!!! Please don’t apologize for the way in which you store your things…OR for what you keep and don’t keep. There is a season for everything! I am presently a non teaching Art Teacher….but also an artist. My brain is always thinking of ways in which I want to be creative….and many of the items I save have a place in that creative process. I am also in ministry….and I help to decorate our church at times. I am always using things from my stash to add to what I do there! (And in my own home!). I will take apart an arrangement to create a new one. There is a time I like to “touch” (or lay my hands on) everything I have in storage in order to purge OR to remember what I have! That helps me. Having too much of some things can also weigh down creativity…so I understand that also! You do beautiful and creative work! You are a wonderful artist! Thank you for helping others see how that process of storage may work and what it looks like for you!!!❤️

[@janetmichigander]

Andrea, we all have places in our home that are not Pinterest worthy and if someone says they don't....(whisper, don't believe them) 🤣🤣🤣🤣Basement's are a blessing, I am sure so many, (including me) wish we had one. Growing up in Michigan I understand. I now live in SC and miss that space so much!! I hope your sweet baby feels better soon and you as well. Keep sharing all that you do. Love you!!

[@irmayorke9075]

Your more organized than you think. It looks very nice. I too have a storage room like yours so nothing fancy but functional. It works!!

[@laurievanravenswaay9823]

Andrea, I too, store wreaths like that, but put a bag over top, so that the dust doesn't settle onto foliage.

[@glendalafont1561]

What a beautiful baby. You aren't a hoarder you just have good design ideas.

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Thanks for sharing the nitty-gritty of decorating😊

[@janicel4960]

It did my heart so much good to see your messy decor storage. I organize my own decor at least once a year and then in midst of a busy life, and one season changing into the next, I often just dump things and shut the door! It's really hard to keep on top of it and I'm glad to see that you struggle with that too.

[@juliamace3330]

Not a hoarder!! I have a huge walk up attic and it sometimes gets out of control and needs a good cleaning. But a quote from an old John Wayne/Maureen O'Hara movie. "A woman needs her things about her" has always resonated with me. I have so many family pieces I could never part with they connect me to those I loved.

[@karenzelin6150]

Don't be embarrassed! That's real life. At least you have everything in one spot. I have stuff scattered in almost every room and would love to have a room like you have.

[@cathymacmillan4645]

Thank you. I loved this video. I have a spot like that too and it often gets “out of hand” but I love to change my decor from time to time. I don’t think you should feel embarrassed at all. Loved seeing your sweet boy too

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@Susanb89]

Decluttering feels so good! I need to go through my faux florals and stems as well. There was a lot I didn’t use this year. I hope your little guy feels better 💜🙏🏻💜

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! Good luck with your organizing as well! 😄

[@christinemccoy5237]

Awww, poor little guy. Hope he feels better soon!

[@johnandkitty]

I use our buffet drawers to store gift bags, tissue paper, ribbon, etc.

[@janicegardner5027]

I am glad to see that some things are still a work in progress - just like we all are..... I thought you did an amazing job of organizing everything. Can't wait to see the finished room.

[@staciefreeman4396]

Good job, take it easy as you sort and reward yourself for what you did accomplish.

[@mollysmom3057]

You have a wonderful place for storage. Don’t worry about so much thinning out, just find a way to keep what you have until you’re sure.

[@marlenestephenson1239]

You have a wonderful space for storage and a great way of organizing all your decorations.

[@IS-LUV]

Thank you for sharing this video. Definitely not a hoarder!! Those houses are pest infested and ALL areas of the home are overflowing with random stuff. Your home is beautiful and just like an artist’s studio, there are dirty paint brushes, paint covered tarp and areas of “mess or stain.” You have a great HUB to go and create or trim down or add to in that great storage room. It’s a source for creativity and momentum. It re-centers your decorating flow and focus and like a good spring cleaning, we all need it. A time to evaluate, detoxify and create anew. Your videos are great and I am in the same process of shedding as well. It feels great and I hope to do a swap party in the future with friends and neighbors. Fixing up someone else’s old decor to fit yours is a fun process and that process usually starts out messy. My process of cleaning out has been more fun and cathartic than before and currently I have my storage in multiplied closets. It IS fun going through the pieces and seeing how I’ve enjoyed them OR still love them. Blessings to you sweet Andrea and so deeply appreciate you sharing in a sincere, vulnerable and inspiring way! Being a mom, wife and business woman is a real balancing act and I feel less alone having watched you manage it. May your day be as lovely as you. 💗

[@sharonjackson9994]

I have things put away and cannot remember where or what! You at least can find your stuff. I keep saying I am going to go thru everything and organize but life keeps getting in the way ;) But that is what life it. You are doing great!!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Andrea, I just did this. It feels soo good to organize it all. Loved your ideas too.✨🤍

[@angelaturner8722]

Your baby is sooo adorable! Hey, you got a storage space, some of us don't have a storage space. you are fantastic and doing things right. Thanks for this video!

[@kimcunningham2107]

New to your channel... So thankful I found you! Love your videos. You have a beautiful family and home...and you're very beautiful as well! Your so comforting to watch. 💖💕

[@allisonscott1009]

“Love” your sweatshirt! Just got done organizing my basement storage too - feels great to do before the holidays 😊

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! And yes, such a good feeling!! 😄

[@sarahhanson3694]

My daughter says I have a season decor hoarder disorder! Seeing your florals makes me glad I’m not alone ! Be gentle with yourself

[@sherieastham1869]

Heck I wish my decor room was this clean and organized…and I mean the before! Lol

[@sarahdeeb4852]

Right there with you on the florals lol. We use mine at church for events as well

[@kristenacarbone7549]

I’m so thankful for this video! I’ve got the same thing and I’m so happy to see I’m not the only one!

[@tinafehr8394]

Andrea. How awesome to have the place for your tools of your trade😉. I remember watching an episode of Fixer Upper and Chip showed were Joanna keeps her seasonal and extra decor. It was so unorganized and she was so embarrassed but that’s life😃 Yep, as soon as you get rid of it you’ll need it.

[@aquin284]

My wife and I are interior designers and I know how you feel, our house looked wayy crazier then yours. You'ref not a hoarder by any means. Not sure if they are available where you live but to organize our stuff we use a service call Flex Storage. They offer a monthly service portable storage service. They bring out our stuff when we need it and then haul it away when we're done. It's seriously a game changer.

[@StollUrHeart]

Girl honestly I’m surprised you have such little storage since you do decor videos. You’re not a hoarder or have a problem.

[@donnahenson5668]

My basement is MUCH worse!!! Thanks for sharing and it inspired me to get rid of or donate as well. Hope your baby feels better soon

[@EE-hi4re]

Love this real-life style video

[@brendawagner6590]

Awe...it's adorable that you think your "stash" is out of control. I have an entire wall of shelving in our garage that is approx 3 ft deep..color coded and organized but FULL. The other side of the garage has wall to wall bins for every holiday. That should make you feel better 😬👍🏻

[@Varbaje1]

I'm a thrifter too, and it is fun, but the downfall is that we wind up collecting too many things! when I find furniture and stuff that i like, but don't need, i remind myself how i hate a cluttered home, and that helps me walk away and focus on something i don't have. so far it's working for me, Lol. But do keep your florals that you think you might use again. And what are those gorgeous copper pitchers? doing hiding down there? Display those beauties!!! God continue to bless you and your family :)

[@GinasOrganizedLife]

I’ve been wondering how you store decor so was glad to see this video! Would love to see more organizational videos from other areas of your home.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you! I will keep that in mind for future videos! 😉

[@effiepatricia3610]

Yes, me, too!!!

[@kimkay8635]

Andrea, no worries you should see my storage space! I absolutely love your videos and always look forward to them. 💗

[@Floralie]

Wish I had a space like this 🤩🤩🤩

[@kaymendenhall786]

Do not feel bad we all have storage out of control!

[@sigridschroeder2817]

Thanks for keeping it real and honest. We all have places like this. It gets messy and then when we have time, it gets cleaned up and reorganized.

[@cherylannjohnson8801]

What a wonderful storage space! You are so organized & creative at your young age. Celebrate all you do…good work! 🎉

[@willlowingardium5836]

I would love to have a basement for storage. Florida unfortunately doesn’t have them. I have things in my bedroom closet, under my kids beds and a few things that can survive the heat in the garage. I need to be productive and organize. Thanks for the inspo.

[@lauragreen4899]

Dawn from the minimal mom talks about having things, too many things to manage and not having the time or the mental emotional capacity to do it. I think that's what you were saying when you just didn't have the time to go through that one bin of florals right now. So it's good to put it off until you have more energy and bandwidth to do it. I love watching Dawn but I'm not a minimalist like she is but I've learned a lot of good things from her. But I enjoy watching you and others like you that love to decorate their home. So I try to find a balance between the two. I think you do a good job of that. Your home is not overcrowded with stuff upstairs. It's just lovely, just the right amount. So don't worry if you have a storage room with some extra things in it. Next spring just go through and get rid of some more things and lighten your load a little bit. But you are not a hoarder! Several comments have said this, you are a decorator. And you do a lovely job and you inspire us to make our homes beautiful. Thanks.

[@rorriewright9011]

I love that your storge is in your house!!! Great space!!! Great video!!!👍😊

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@sherrykahn2474]

Hey Andrea Sorry you guys were sick,that is so difficult!You are a great decorator and any u-tube lady I have seen has extra stuff they have to keep!!!It cant be easy!I had 2 boys and I had my hands full back in the day!!!Go easy on yourself!!You are lovely and doing a great job!😁🌻🦉🌼🍁🥧💛🎃🧡🎃💛🎃❤

[@sherryruddell3588]

What a great storage room! You have lots of great things to decorate with and you seem to have it well organized. I kept thinking, "Dang, I wish I still had a basement so I could do that!" But then I realized that my garage is a very cluttered group of shelves. Sigh. I live in Texas, and we have no basements. You've inspired me to work on my garage. Thanks.

[@christinecarroll543]

Your “mess”is super relatable! I don’t have 3 little ones and mine worse 😂. I too have a stems issue. I need stem therapy.❤

[@AW-vo5lj]

Hi Andrea, I love your channel. Don't apologize for real life. Love from a fellow Christian.

[@steffijarrell2464]

You’re not a hoarder. You use your stuff and you’re thinning out. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who buys so many florals. 😅

[@thechristinadiaries]

Andrea I love all your video but I really enjoy this behind the scenes type video ❤

[@trinaroe5132]

Hope Isaiah feels better soon. I envy having that much space to store decor!

[@beckybaustert3634]

Great real life video, Andrea!

[@merrileemcdonald448]

You are way more organized than I am!

[@Cinderella1125]

Great video! Anyone who decorates for every season probably look at their stash, sigh and think, "I'm a hoarder." Organizing seems to be an ongoing process. You're just keeping it real. 🌷🌹🍂🎄

[@sharonrose2963]

I wish I was one of your sisters! 😅 That area looks better than my junk drawer ever did. There hasn't been one time after finally getting rid of something, that I could have used it within the next 6 months. Murphy's Law. I feel so good when things are organized, but somehow they seem to be less organized than how I remember storing them. Kind of like Toy Story 😊 Feel better! 🥰

[@annreeve9280]

so jealous of your BIG storage area

[@maiden411]

I have a solution for you. Have you ever thought of using Space bags(there are other brands too) to store clothes and linens? With these bags, you could store all of the baby clothes in 1 bin! You could still have them sorted by size. I have some that I’ve been using for 28 years! Finally, don’t keep stuff for “just in case”. If you don’t use it in a year, you might as well purge it. You are clever and will find a beautiful solution for those just in case circumstances. If there are things you would only use for your church functions, perhaps you could store them at your church.

[@sharonsomers5513]

Decluttering is stressful but in the end it’s worth it. It’s nice you have a big closet to store all your decor.

[@janefromthecountry1820]

Andrea, it would be nice if your husband did a diy on his basement shelves. We need those in our basement. Thank you.

[@lindamcdonald5884]

This space makes you normal. Life is messy. We all have something that falls a part . It just means we are listening to the really important stuff in life

[@tammyevans7333]

Thank you!

[@bettystone8128]

We all have decorating items and my hubby had said thin it out. So I had to give away a lot.

[@moonmother7654]

Hey Andrea An Idea for your flowers. You mention to decored with your flowers by hosting. How about renting them out to other people for there gatherings. Best wellbeeings to your youngest. 🌈

[@opendoorsopenhearts]

Andrea!!! Real life!!!! I have the same basic shelves that Justin built for me and I have gotten so bad with them and the decor that they hold the past few months since bringing our sweet girl home!! Hahaha Justin went down there a couple months ago and suggested I organize it. That’s how bad it has gotten!!!! Hahaha

[@PamWarwick]

Your video makes me feel so much better about all of my own stuff and organization. You have a nice area for storage.

[@trinaroe5132]

Love the little table with the soccer stuff on it! If you decide to not keep it let me know!!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you, will do! 🙂

[@cinder8290]

You have a wonderful place for storage, my space is half of that and no shelves. You're not a hoarder, don't think that you are. I hope your darling baby feels better real soon and you are too, hopefully.😘

[@karellarsen939]

Aww baby. He is so adorable! Hope he feels better soon! Great job Andrea and you are not a hoarder! Some things we just need 😊

[@elleburch3857]

🤣🤣🤣 you are so funny in this video. I love it. I miss see you bouncing and patting babies bottom in his baby wrap. He may need to make an appearance soon 😉

[@lisaa8437]

I found you last year around Christmas time and I can’t believe how big baby boy is getting! So cute! 💕

[@maryjomathews4749]

I had to laugh, had just come up from my basement storage when I decided to take a break and your video popped up. Girlfriend if you think that is scary you should see my 42 years of antiquing and thrifting storage area 🤭😂

[@lifeonhuckleberryhill6052]

Thank you for being willing to let us see the work in progress. It looks like you really did do a lot! I applaud your efforts!

[@lindasmith5190]

Enjoyed.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

You are so lucky to have a great storage area! Hope your lil cutie feels better.

[@kailinngillen1182]

Maybe you could store some florals at your church; then others could use them too.❤🙏

[@charloppnow9649]

I don’t see any ‘floral problem’! 😉 I laughed at your hoarder comment! 😂

[@PineandProspectHome]

Hahaha thanks! 😄😉

[@ingridugarteche4301]

You’re so identical as Sasha fitness (you tuber) except she’s Hispanic from Venezuela and lives in Miami! So interesting! I love you’re energy, I am also a mother of two boys!! They’re my precious jewels! Motherhood and being a wife is tougher than you think… it’s overwhelming at times but it’s really rewarding at the end of the day! You’re so beautiful ❤

[@chrisonthiaallthingsglam6624]

What a beautiful baby! But then again you truly are beautiful as well. And your basement? You should see mine lol yours is cheery. 🙏🙏🙏😇

[@cindyk4294]

Your area doesn’t look that bad. I went to Walmart one year after Christmas. They were tossing out large divided boxes from wrapping paper… I have 6 filled with florals and greens. Three with wrapping papers. Two flat boxes from a florist filled with ribbons. Six storage containers with Christmas greens and small trees…..and the list goes on. I have one storage cupboard for napkins, paper plates and party supplies. One cupboard for fall, Halloween & Thanksgiving… one for Christmas dishes, serving pieces etc. My linens, including placemats, tablecloths, throw pillows and t towels etc. are all color coordinated. And then there’s my candles obsession! My adult children made me take pictures for insurance purposes. We now refer to the basement as the store! Mind you I’m much older than you and had years to acquire all these goodies, and we once owned a gift shop for several years too. So keep it small because to some degree it can become a burden! 😅. Believe me Andrea, I’m not bragging, I just thought you should know… it can be toooo much.

[@marilynrobinson6910]

I love your space and the built storage shelves! Awww…I think all crafters, DIY’ers have their share of “stuff”. Gosh if I lived near you I would definitely take some of the greenery/florals off your hand and add it to my stash that looks a WHOLE lot worse than yours!!!🤣🤣

[@dolorespearson434]

If your paint cans are more than half full Habitat Restore will take them...if not, put kitty litter inside them and leave them out in the sun (no rain) let them dry out and then you can dispose of them in the trash 🙂

[@lisaw7478]

I hope Isaiah feels better. You're not a hoarder. I have a lot of florals too. I'm in the process of getting rid of a lot of stuff too. When we went into shut down from COVID I went a little crazy. With all kinds of crafting stuff.

[@ceferinocanibano6284]

Don't feel embarrased. It's normal to have a place to store what you are not using currently. I know that it is more fun to go to a shop and buy new decor than going to the basement and try to find what you already have. I believe that if everything is accessible is easier to use it again. My suggestion is to get rid of everything you haven't use in a year. That's what I do and it helps a lot. By the way my name is Carolina and I'm from Spain. Take your time.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Hi Carolina! 😊 Thank you for the sweet words and great advice, I appreciate it!

[@joseemathieu2617]

Don’t feel bad for all your stuff you should see mine 😮it is hard to get rid of our stuff but little by little it will be done ps;your little boy is so pretty 😊love your video

Very Inspiring as usual💕 🙏Prayers for your little one. A couple of our little grands are just getting over something very similar.

[@stevensgurl9453]

Love that u shared this! 🙌 totally what my garage and walk in looks like 🤣

[@tchotchkegirl8880]

Storing flammable products next to a water heater could cause a fire. The water heater has a flame that's always on.

[@curban616]

It’s official, I’m a hoarder! I really did lol!! Most of us are my sweet girl! I wish my mess was as organized as yours was in the beginning!❤️

[@PineandProspectHome]

Haha glad I'm not the only one! 😄

[@trinaroe5132]

I’d suggest either a quarantine bin for things you aren’t quite sure about, or for things you’re saving because you might need them for church is there some place at church where they could be stored? (Look who’s talking! I still have a bin of stuff I bought for my jr high girls Sunday school class in 2000! 😂)

[@PineandProspectHome]

Haha Yes, thank you for the ideas! 😀

[@denisereilly7943]

Your sweet baby boy! 🥰. You’re NOT a hoarder! Keep those stems-you’ll use them and you have the space…why not?!

[@carolyost6733]

Thank you for sharing how you store your decor. We all have to stote unused stuff. Thanks for being humble to do that. Yes, it did give me some ideas. We all have issues with decor not being used at the moment. No judgement! YOU ARE NOT A HORDER! YOU ARENT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING A HORDER. THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING THIS. AND BY THE WAY WE ALL HAVE SOME KIND OF ISSUES !

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@conniehunter9683]

Not hoarder, but a preservationist and collector. I am also one...collector that is.
