What a stroke of genius to leave all the walking pharmacy things near your bags. It's so much better than rummaging and dropping things in the bathroom or linen closet. I will be moving mine tomorrow! Thanks so much for sharing your life so that we can better organize our own.

[@kristinedrama14]

Hi Jennifer! I'm kind of a new subscriber(3 months) but I have splurged on watching your videos regularly. Years ago I used to be like you with organization and health . My mom passed away and got in a serious depression. I got married but still my husband is not an organize guru so I didn't feel any need to do anything special and I found your channels and they really brought me back to life! I'm organizing again, taking care of myself and even got my husband to start doing more with me :) thank you for your videos and thank you for the inspiration

[@30plussome]

I personally love listening to you ....whether you repeat things or not ... like you said, this is your style.... and it is adorable .... just part of you .... keep it up ... you are loved! Hope you have a great week! xoxo Melissa

[@mollyj1900]

I love that your storage strategies work for any size closet. I have a very shallow non-walk in closet and I copied a lot of your tricks in the past (the weather boxes, 2 tier hanging things, etc) and they work beautifully!

[@chlosu]

My family is planning on moving to new house in the next year, so I will definitely be showing my mom all of your videos I've been watching for the past couple months!

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

It's pouring with rain here and freezing cold so I'm watching your video again and love it . I love your style of work and that is why I watch you . Keep smiling x

[@nicolestanfield2757]

I love those shirt folders from the Container Store! They make it so easy to cram a ton of clothes in drawers neatly so you can see everything, like t-shirts!

[@ArtJourneyUK]

It was nice seeing your closet again although, as you said, not much had changed, so not sure what the point of the video was. What would have been excellent to see would have been the actual purging process; how you dealt with the volume of clothes, how you decide to keep or toss etc. The methodology behind that would have both been very useful (to people trying to organise) as well as more interesting than another run through of your stuffed closet. TFS as always x

[@likeamystic9347]

I agree! I hope if she does anymore purging in the future she will consider sharing that process instead of updates of rooms we have already seen. I think it would be interesting to see the actual process.

[@tyendanega]

Yes, this is exactly what a lot of us would have liked! At least it would have been a step in the right direction regarding the content. #BeatingADeadHorseLIKEJen

[@bunnobear]

Great video thank you. My closet, much smaller, is organised very similar, what I love about your closet is how you have stored things to protect them from dust. I need to look into the sweater and shoe boxes. One thing I do to keep my small closet organised is limit the number of hangers I am allowed.

[@WithWonder]

Great idea :)

[@LifeStyleBri]

i will sit here for half an hour and watch this even though ive already seen 90% of it in other vids :) love u jen !!!

[@rissavalen]

Love the reversed hanger idea to see what you really wear!

[@allisonberger6450]

What a great set up! I really appreciate the care you put in to taking care of your things. It is really motivating to see someone treat their items well and keep them for the long term like you do!

[@scrapangie88]

I'm pretty sure I could spend all day in your closet just staring at the sheer awesomeness that it is LOL! Love your longer videos...they all rock! :D

[@shelbycates7]

I revisited your videos and it motivated me to re-organize my closet (I gave away about 3 garbage bags full), the living room and the pantry. Next is the fridge! Thanks again Jen, love your videos!

[@sugar2011magic]

I've been watching your videos for three years and always get so excited when you post a video (especially your travel videos!). Keep making more videos!!

[@exxtra71]

Thanks for all of the tips and getting me stoked on purging not only my closet but my children's as well. Your updated closet is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@lmurph770]

Poor Jen! Who has nothing else to do but hang out on your comment section and spread negativity all over the Internet? I am a "creative type" , super messy and disorganized and I find your approach to be very enlightening!

[@ariannalynnemusic]

Watching you videos makes me super excited to buy our first house (we are hoping for next year). I was so excited also to see that you live in the suburbs of Chicago, as do we! I had no idea the container store got changed at oakbrook and I had to go after your video. It is awesome!!

[@WithWonder]

It's a gorgeous store :)

[@4teeny7]

Thanks for sharing Jen. I have to redo my closet and have been putting it off, a total tear down and rebuild. You gave me inspiration that I can do this myself. My closet is walk in, but a small square. Thanks again. I always look forward to your videos. Take care.

[@Sarahr98998]

Looks great! I find it really refreshing to do a major purge every so often. Very freeing to send bags of stuff out the door!

[@littlefamilyof3]

I love all your videos Jen! Thanks so much for doing this one- my family and I just moved into a new home so this was incredibly helpful!

[@lindseygreene3089]

Love love love! ❤️ I started using that hanger tip about a year ago, it has made a difference!

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

Great job Jen looks fantastic . It's nice to have it all sorted and looking good . I love how you look after your things it shows you care x

[@RobbinsEggz]

Thanks for sharing your closet Jen! Hubby and I started saving money for our future closet. We both love it. ❤️

[@farahsummer1]

Great video! I can totally relate to getting rid of things I'm not in love with anymore and only keeping things more age appropriate. I'm 36 and I've made a huge shift in what I like to wear as opposed to in my late 20s early 30s. I don't mind spending more on something that I love and can be a closet staple for a long time. I love the sweater boxes. I may have to borrow that idea!

[@wahineash]

you're an inspiration, jen. i love seeing your room as well! obsessed with your videos! keep on keepin' on!

[@Bay6768]

Winnie looks so well groomed today like she just got a bath and all spruced up.:)

[@0JReynolds]

Thank you for the video, we are doing a remodel and I love the boxes and hangers. My closet was just redone and I would love to have those polka dot boxes, they are so cute!

[@vallove4life]

Love this master closet organizarion. I have never seen the flip flop holder! Great idea. I have moved to a colder climate and really need some boot inserts! LOVED your walk through.

[@tracybzowy2486]

Pool noodles work great and are super cheap. Could probably do 2 pair of boots per noodle.

[@WithWonder]

Tracy Bzz Great tip!

[@LottaCrapola]

Jen, it's your channel and you can post anything you want, they way you want it, if somebody doesn't like it, they don't have to watch them. I love your videos so much and look forward to watching them every week, is just like talking to a girl friend that knows a lot about organizing :o)

[@lisavalerie5232]

Hi Jen, I just wanted to thank you for sharing! I love that every time I watch your videos, I get inspired to organize as well as get ideas for my own organization. Do you have photos of the condo you lived in before this house? I would love to see how you organized a smaller space!

[@CasaBellaGirl]

Yay for the dedicated Disney bin!!! :-D Love your closet.

[@jennsbargains]

Beautifully organised. Your walk in wardrobe is the same size as a floor of my house. But one day if we ever have the room I would have it like this. Best wishes from England. Ps ignore peoples hate. I have been watching and enjoying yoyr videos for ages now and I appreciate the effort you put in x

[@thenomadicbudgeter]

Great job with the purge! I especially like how you have organized your "walking pharmacy" items. It seems like having them in the closet will ensure that they are used. I look forward to seeing a video about the travel section!

[@raammartin]

Other than your purse/wallet storage (I am purse/wallet obsessed and have quite a collection) I LOVED your walking pharmacy organization!

[@workofheartdesigns]

Jen, Thank you for sharing! I always look forward to your videos. The closet looks fantastic and it will be a breeze to access whatever you're looking for. Looking forward to the handbag collection vid. Have a great weekend!

[@susanlopez3676]

Thank for the vid-it was an inspiration to purge and organise. I just did a quick read of "The Happinesss Project" and loved the section on her purge of the closet! This video also reminded me how much I love Elfa. I did a closet remake in a rented flat once and though it was indeed expensive I found it to be worth the expense as I could store twice as much in a more organised way in my too small closet-thereby saving money as I could live very well in my small apartment for 6 years until I could afford to move. Keep it up-you're great!

[@tanyamana]

Very well organised. You are very lucky to have a beautiful home that is so spacious!

[@DawnH123]

Wowza! That is a lot of clothing and such. You did a nice job organizing. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephkan20]

Thank you Jen for taking the time to give such a detailed look at this beautifully organized closet :) Have a wonderful weekend. ~Stephani

[@MissCrystal]

I need some of those sweater boxes..thanks for sharing! Enjoyed seeing your updated closet, Jen! xo

[@sandrabaker4]

Jen, thanks for sharing this. I especially loved the accessory boxes and I think I will try that in my own closet! I also have a container bin just for my shoe polish, etc. Great tips for all of us, regardless of how big or small our closets are; thanks again!

[@liveyourlife08101]

Jen this was such a great video love all the effort you put in. I miss your daily vlogs I just really enjoy your calm and friendly personality kisses from Australia xx

[@lizmaryo]

Don's Dr. Who shirt collection makes me smile! I don't even think there are any in this video, and I'm still smiling. Ah, nerd.

[@laurac56]

Enjoyed your updated closet. I was totally shocked that you ran out of label tape! I'm not sure that I've ever heard you run out of something other than food! You always have back-ups, especially office supplies. :)

[@WithWonder]

LOL I was a bit chocked myself! I had backups in other kinds but not the type I was using in the closet. It happens :)

[@CassieLuellman]

Loved this video and all the time you spent to give the details. You have inspired me to switch things up in my closet :)

[@LifeMinimalistaStyle]

I love your Videos! I will be watching them all over again once I get into my own condo!!!

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

Love the travel side such a good idea a video on that would be great ! Also the section for all your walking pharmacy stuff is great to . It's nice to get things sorted out . I'm doing a big purge at the moment and it's really let me see what things I need . I was out the other day and saw something I liked and went to buy it when I thought twice because I new I had something the same at home . So it worked well for me to go thru my things x

[@gatheredtreasures5276]

Jen, I absolutely LOVE how you show your class by responding so positively and grace-filled to the people that are trying to make you feel bad on purpose. It's actually very Christ-like! What a testimony to your credit! I hope my small comment is encouraging to you. You don't deserve the venom coming your way....but I know that you know what fuels it. Very sad. Stay strong and lovely and full of grace & class and show people how it's done! I just love watching that - almost as much as your helpful videos. Hug....

[@amygutierrez5971]

Cindy Vliet Christ was about selflessness. Ignoring critical comments is about vlogger strategy. Giving and loving does not mean giving to yourself all year and loving your "things". Everyone on a a shopping spree would be a saint then wouldn't they. You don't know your Bible. Your threshold for Christ like behavior is exceeding low.

[@gatheredtreasures5276]

Amy, even Satan knew the Scriptures well. Jesus came and turned everything we thought we knew upside down. He taught and shared that it's all about the state of the heart. I have a feeling you think that Jen cannot love things (sin) and be Christ-like in other ways. Totally not true. We are both a saint and a sinner while in Christ. He was the only perfect person that ever was and ever will be - until we are reconciled to him in the afterlife. I am certain there are worldly things that you love. I know, in spite of trying my best to follow Christ and be as much like Him as I can, I still love some worldly things. Dang it, I'm a sinner. Shoot.... Guess what? Christ came because we all sin.....her sin is no different than the negative Spirit behind any comment meant to upset her - which you know is a sin too, right? There are no levels in sin. We are all trapped in it and cannot free ourselves, right? Try praying for Jen...however, I'd ask you to pray for yourself and for me too. We are all the same. We are all equally in sin without Him. You, me & Jen....and whoever else reads this. I don't know all the Scriptures as well as the most scholarly but I know my Savior. God bless you mightily Amy!

[@TessieDobey]

I rug will fit nice in the middle of the bedroom, just brings the room together and make it more cozier. I'm not giving up my shoes! I have over 85 pairs of shoes and need every pair.

[@WithWonder]

I do yoga in that space which is why I opted for no rug :)

[@jorunnragnhild9051]

I use my bedroom more for function than style too.

[@sherryjellison]

I love the flip flo holder! Love your boot collection! Great video Thank you!!

[@nicoletiffany5163]

Wow. Haters gonna hate!! If you don't like her style, don't watch.. As simple as that!!!! Y'all are crazy!! You probably wasted hours of your life watching her videos and commenting negativity. Do a favor to yourself, enjoy your time here. Don't watch things you don't like!!!

[@Lebonen]

hi jen I love all of your videos! now I am motivated to go through my closet! I was wondering if you could show us how you store your recipe's, I have so many but have no good idea how to store them. Thanks!

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

Great idea . I never no where to put all my recipes either x

[@brooklynqueen125]

I'm really enjoying your video! I've been watching different ones for a few days now finding inspiration & motivation to tweak my dressing room/walk-in closet & it's so nice not being bombarded with IKEA PAX systems, lol😉. Nothing against IKEA but your video is a breath of fresh air & very informative. Thank you for sharing!🤗

[@cooki10554]

I love your closet Jen! You have such good ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Smi1eyAJ]

i listened to you while cleaning my closet! you have a pretty voice!

[@wyllia4]

Can't wait to see the travel gear video! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@SunShine-yh6hv]

I love this video Jen! Love seeing how others organize. It gives me great ideas for my own space. Thanks so much for sharing!😊💕

[@jannettewood7548]

Jen, Your closet always excites me!! My closet is half the size of yours and I have too share the space with my daughter.If it wasnt for my wall of storage cabinets I would have no storage space at all! Looking forward to your next video on travel accessories!

[@caylapatterson8010]

oh my God someone else's closet excites you. Get me out of here.

[@ItsDianasLife]

Enormous closet and so beautifully organized ....I LOVE IT.....thank you for sharing :)

[@RulaLenzka]

I am a pretty new subscriber and I just want to thank you for all these great ideas on organizing. I am by nature a pretty messy person as is my husband, but we both fight it, and would prefer to be organized and by watching your videos I have gotten so many great tips and products that I didn't even know were out there. I've not been to TCS yet, but I've ordered from them online and I'm loving the things I've gotten. I also want to say how much I love how you take care of your things, like your handbags. I also think it's so cute how Winnie has her own travel bag. Thanks again and take care.

[@rowen1204]

Love your videos jenn.your a sweetheart and if people are being rude and dont lile watch u post then I would tell them dont watch. Thats simple enough no need to be mean or rude on what u post.

[@amygutierrez5971]

She has so many more detractors and criticism than other vloggers because of her fake presentation and narcissism. If she could find a way to create videos without these personality traits showing through, she would be like other vloggers who receive a minimum of criticism. It takes two for this dance.

[@noelianlewis]

Absolutely lovely! Thanks so much for sharing Jen. Love your insight and ideas!

[@AshleyMarieXoXoXo]

can't wait for the travel stuff video !

[@CraftyJess34]

Hey Jen, stumbled upon your channel while looking at the Erin Condren planner and love your organization. I'm always trying to organize when I can just makes life so much easier.

[@nottheeasywaywithbeth]

Love this you have motivated me to organize my master closet.

[@bwh0315]

Jen thanks for sharing this it's inspiring me to redo my closet I need some bins and things like that I have all my shoes in shoe boxes so I forget what I have I need some of those clear bins.

[@thejenniferpapers]

I love your closet, Jen. Beautifully organized. :)

[@fromneicy7]

I always get great ideas from your videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@JamCanGurl]

Jen I'm glad you said "nice broad shoulders" instead of " he's bigger so he has bigger clothing". I always wonder why his size is mentioned in comparison to you. It's obvious already without "calling him out" so to speak. I'm sure it doesn't bother him though. Since I'm a woman I guess I'm more sensitive lol. TFS! And I personally like your style of videos.

[@amygutierrez5971]

My mom does this to my dad too. He is over weight and she finds a way to make him feel masculine when going shopping with him.

[@zeezixx]

Beautiful bedroom, great closet, and great use of your space :)

[@aditamari]

I was waiting for this vid, thx for sharing, love your videos

[@HautePinkFluff]

You have a very beautiful closet. I especially love the sweater organization, very elegant :)

[@bery79]

Hi, just found your channel and let me tell you that I love your videos!! now I feel inspired to really organize my home... too bad I dont have a Container Store nearby. Thanks for the tips!!

[@thesonal12345]

better option is dollar tree. you will get lots of organizing products there. cheap and useful!!!!

[@NurseSuzy1981]

Your closet is sooo nice, awesome tour

[@Krys72599]

Thanks for this video! I'm going to use some ideas in my closet... And your hair looks great!

[@fernerella]

The laces are poking out of dons dress shoes box! Just thought I'd let you know as it was bothering me! Haha! Love the video as always jen! Xxx

[@Valjbakesalot1]

Very nicely done, Jen! Kuddos to you on such a big purge! We all need to do that sometimes. TFS! Your supporters appreciate your " long" videos as people say! Lol :-) :-) :-)

[@dawnmdeel]

love your closet jen, love watching your videos

[@TheHarlequinade]

Your closet is bigger than my bedroom, Jen! You don't get closets like that in the UK, it'd be a dream to have one!

[@eef2711]

I love it! Would like a closet like that in my house. I like you a lot Jen, don't mind the 'negative' comments jealousy is a ugly thing! Please keep up the good work :) you're doing great!!

[@cemi1951]

Love, love, love your closet!!!

[@debbiewood2226]

Thank you Jen. So enjoy watching your videos.

[@suetielert7447]

Great timing! I just bought my very first condo and I have a walk in closet (not as big as yours). Lots of great ideas and I'm inspired to get organizing! :-) Sue

[@bedi09]

Looking forward to watch your accessory storage video. I was too shy to ask you for a video about your valuables. Please add watches, glasses and perfumes to the video.

[@Elysekiera]

great video Jen! Really fun to watch :)

[@organized4]

Beautiful job as always! Love your seahorses!!

[@chrissyd1589]

Always love your videos!! You are such an inspiration--Thank you!!!

[@liljohnson91]

You have the Disney princess Dooney and Bourke purse! I am in love with that one, wish they still sold it in the parks :( I am obsessed with the Dooney and Bourke Disney line.

[@daisieoneil1]

I've been so excited for this video!

[@LifeStyleBri]

excited for jewellery organisation vid!!! woohoo

[@cdm5400]

Omg love the box dedicated to Disney!!

[@HowdyHandbags]

Elfa is nice because you can adjust it but with your available income I'm very surprised you just don't get built-in shelves. You really should consider it. I think it was about 2k. We recently had that done in our closet about a year ago for not that much believe it or not. We had two walls of shelves built on either side of the door when we first walk into the closet. They are painted to match the built-ins that were in there when the house was built. I just love them and how they look.

[@janefranklin6066]

Then she couldn't "overhaul" everything every six months. What on earth would she film or claim she's doing with her time?!

[@WithWonder]

Built-ins are beautiful but I love how I can easily change Elfa if I decide to go with a different setup down the line.

[@mckayla2076]

I love these videos! They always make me feel good. I went to Disney World July of 2013 and loved it! No wonder you go so frequently! What is your favorite park in WDW?

[@basbleupeaunoire]

Lovely closet! I have a fraction of the space, but I get good ideas from your vids.

[@PriannciaJ]

Enjoyed the video!! I always learn from you!! I love your channel!!

[@Defiantsnow]

Love this video. I have picked up so many tips from your various organizing videos. Would love to see your travel video.

[@AbsolutelyAdorableStudio]

Your hair looks really great in this video! :) Can you give a hair tutorial? Thanks for sharing!

[@nadiaahmed7307]

Really enjoyed this, got some great ideas thank you!

[@Sydney-lm9hf]

Jen, you should do a shoe collection video! Fleur Deforce recently did one and it was fun to watch!
