Central Park. Don't get me started. Omg. The bees? The chipmunk??! Those insane colors on the flowerssss???? Gail. Get used to that, because your footage was so da bomb. 🎤🫳

The chipmunk was such a lovely little surprise!!

Can’t believe I spent time watching someone else sort out their wardrobe instead of doing my own!

[@olbird7647]

That's kinda my whole approach to tasks these days😁

[@theregoesgail]

You got this!!

[@user-qj7dz2bh4g]

Have you thought about swapping the desk in the bedroom with the dresser and mirror ? The space seems made for it then I would put another mirror opposite of mirror , one reflects the light coming from the door into the space and the other reflects more light back into the room . Just a thought it still looks nice

[@tamarakinney2721]

Wow! The Conservatory Garden is GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing it with us. If I lived in NYC, that would be my hangout spot for sure!

[@theregoesgail]

Isn't it the best?!

[@danielharmon15]

As a fellow 30-year-old, I can say there are few things more iconic than the Oops I Did It Again music video. Well done!

Hi, Gail. Thank you for acknowledging my vote and comment. Enjoyed the beautiful flowers and chipmunk. Congratulations on your closet and chest of drawers organization and best of luck on running the marathon. Your living/dining/kitchen look wonderful. Love the new rug.

[@lindawynell]

I totally love the same flowers. Discovered them last year. The closet is looking amazing. I’m happy that you are having fun, doing what you can to help others while being even more healthy & I, too, am organizing my closet/bedroom. It’s a process, isn’t it?! 😂 your apartment is truly your home & is showing your personality. ❤

[@theregoesgail]

It truly is a process 🫠 thank you so much for watching and best of luck with your organizing!

[@olbird7647]

A gold star each for your sterling efforts: ⭐️ organising ⭐️ running ⭐️ how relaxed your vids are becoming! My daughter survived the London Marathon last week- despite getting over a chest infection. She said her own snot tried to kill her at one point 😅

🌷Hanging Clothes Idea In my closet I put all the same color together. I know sounds crazy that was my first thought too. I love it, I love the look, I find I wear more of my clothes also instead of reaching for the same ones all the time. I just pick a color and cruise thru my options. All the same Hangers make your closet look even better too. One last thing, buy yourself flowers every week. They make you feel good and the little touch around your home is everything. Have a wonderful week 🌷

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you for the tips!! Yes, I try and buy myself flowers weekly 🙂

[@anneroy4560]

I have my clothes divided seasonally ... spring&summer then fall&winter ... out of season ones packed away (rolling items is good) with mothballs! One can get very pleasant lavender moth balls ... for footware I have what looks to be a long cushy footstool that flips open to store sandals/shoes etc. In the corner of the closet I keep in their original boxes the 'did I pay that much for them! shoes ... my fav flower is a peony ...

[@theregoesgail]

These are great tips! Maybe one day I will be organized enough to have my clothes separated by season 😅 I also LOVE peonies

[@danielleayde2330]

Central Park is pretty. The flowers are beautiful.

[@theregoesgail]

Aren't they stunning?!

[@danielleayde2330]

They are and to have have blooming so early is nice!

[@kpj0913]

You should get the cute, woven bins from Target that are all the rage right now. They come in different sizes and two color options. Beige and gray. Could be an option for your closet!! Love your unique style, btw!!

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you!! The 2 in my 4-cubby storage piece are from target - I was thinking maybe some more of those! 🫶

Hi Gail!!!!The living/dining/kitchen area looks amazing,you have nice light in this house❤ Bye some small containers to organize your shocks and underwear it's going to be easy to find them without causing clutter in the drawer.For the trousers,any kind,make rolls and put the one behind the other,more space and in display easy to choose and take.Love,you make a great job❤

[@theregoesgail]

Thanks for the tips!

[@user-qj7dz2bh4g]

Also the desk is lower more streamline with the height of the bed and the desk has enough room to use as a bedside table also . 😊 just a thought

[@theregoesgail]

Hi there! Funny you say this... it crossed my mind just this morning when I woke up! 🤔

[@user-qj7dz2bh4g]

@@theregoesgail I think it would open the space up on one side to see clearly through the room . I also wondered in the living room if your credenza was on the right of the fireplace . You will open up the space and it’s a piece you will be looking at on the couch . Possible place the black metal shelf between both windows ? Just some thoughts . Record credenza might be too wide for the space it will also match the weight of the wooden table on other side .

Hi Gail, it is always so satisfying watching someone organizing. Gives me the push I need to organize. I am moving tomorrow, so I will be redecorating, and purging. Your apartment is so cute!!

[@theregoesgail]

You can do it!! Best of luck with moving & thank you for watching ☺️

[@sammylapue]

Your closet was not really messy, I could show you messy 😅. I live in a old house & my closet is super small with a tiny door. You have a nice closet. You can also get sock, underwater, bra & sock organizers for your drawers. Also makes moving easier. Not that you are planning on moving. With the organizers your closet will be more efficient!!!!! Love it!!

I love ranunculus too. Haven't seen any at the supermarket yet. Well, one half dead wilted bunch, so hoping for new stocks later. That is masses of free space in the closet. Huzzah! My issue is storing coats because I have a serious coat problem. Also bedlinen. Loved the Central Park flowers. Beautiful.

Yes, coats a blankets take up so much space!!

Hey Gail, I am in New Orleans for first time and went to the Jazz and Heritage festival. This is an absolute must for anyone who is in love with music. Apartment looks great. New Orleans is almost a spiritual city for music lovers. Very special place. Great people too. Everyone calls you “baby”.

[@ephrussi9765]

Yes, you need a trip to the Container Store. You can buy many things for your drawers and closet including good hangers. All your hangers should be the same - probably the non-slip velvet hangers. I can't tell if your closet is organized - all shirts together, all dresses together etc. etc. Are you sure you don't want to hang up your pants rather than put in drawer? My comment is annoying, I know!

[@theregoesgail]

Not annoying! Thank you for your feedback - I’d eventually love to have all of the same hangers

Great work! I have zero motivation at the moment & need to find some lol

I clean out my closets twice a year and usually have 2 big bags for Goodwill. Did you notice your closet rod is bending precariously? Love the vases on your dresser.

[@theregoesgail]

I have.... sure hoping it holds up...

[@stephaniea1398]

I would actually put your dresser where your desk is if it would fit? You could get one of those floating shelves for a night stand on the side of your bed so it doesn't take up floor space...The other place for your dresser would be middle of your closet and hang clothes on either side...I mean it looks fine where it is but it's a bit bulky for right when you walk into your room.

[@theregoesgail]

It's a good suggestion! My only qualm is that I don't want to be looking at my work desk while in bed 🤔

[@stephaniea1398]
