Small Space Organization and Makeover!

[@becky5148]

Please do more small space organizing like this video. Thanks.

[@stephanieflores9246]

Cas you did an amazing job! But i have to give Joe credit. Im glad he's warmed up to the idea of being on camera and even though he seems like he's not a man of many words, I don't think you could do many of these makeovers without him. So thank you Joe for being a supportive husband and helping Cas bring us this great content! ❤

[@Margar02]

Yes! Love to see Joe. Not that I expect him to be Mr. entertaining, but that he is exactly who he is- supportive and dependable and cute to look at 🤣

[@rainbows_trees_clouds_dais1766]

I think it would be helpful to see really small (UK/Europe sized) because that’s when you see some really interesting solutions/products or furniture that has double functions.

[@marthagichia]

Yes

I love it too. Classy updates on a budget.

[@bEverCurious]

It's so refreshing to see a real life, real people make over instead of pinterest-perfect. Great job.

[@lynngehringer1073]

Yes I agree. And even though I'd love to live in a Pinterest looking home that will never happen but what Cas did here I can certainly do for my home!

[@Jacqueline-ff2rt]

This is great! Those of us who live in genuinely small spaces with next to no storage holler at KZbin whenever we're shown a basement or garage WHERE ALL THE STUFF actually is. Working out ways to hide things in plain sight, while still keeping it accessible and leaving space to move around, is an ongoing dilemma. Thanks for the ideas, Cas and Emily.

[@Clutterbug]

You're welcome!

Always remember, you cannot organise clutter - the less you have to organise, the easier it is. You need space to organise.

This transformation made me emotional. Seeing how you can change a space to make it more functional is so gratifying!! Wanna come to my house? 😄

Raise your hand if like me you were worried about Josh's StarWars pictures and where they'd end up. 🤚 Great job, to Cas, Joe and Emily for getting it all done. Side note: Loved how well-behaved Lucy was during the whole thing and I did notice the growth between videos. Puppies grow so fast!!! 🐶

I don't know what I love more: the pink coat, Joe and you working together(so cute) or the AFTER on this makeover! I can't pick, I won't pick. I LOVE IT ALL> :)

[@iZilly]

Also to mention, the tall book shelfs also have different optional doors if you don´t want to see your stuff, you can get full covered, half cover and half glass or full glass so it is such a versatile solution.

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

There's also a removable door that is glass with a panel behind it. You can personalise the panel with photos, pictures, fabric, wallpaper, etc

[@estherwestbroek]

Or also put labels in that frame together with your preferred decoration so the stuff is hidden but you can still see where it is without opening doors!

[@jenniferpearce1052]

So glad Joe joined in! It's nice to "meet" him!

[@bscreager]

fyi, I was adopted 62 years ago and in 2017 I did ancestory and found my birth father/family. It has been wonderful as the whole family has accepted me and treats me like a daughter/sister. I have not spoken to many others besides this immediate group, but it has been a blessing!

[@rockyandmiles9889]

This house is big compared to mine 😂 I wish I had this much room lol

[@sgallant2107]

We had a reunion several years ago, where a few "new" cousins appeared out of the woodwork. We were all quite happy to meet them. I had brief contact with one "restored" cousin and was able to pass along a thumb drive containing a spreadsheet of several generations of ancestors.

[@katnoto8993]

I love the canadian/american defintion of "small" 😆. It's so interesting how where we live shapes our life and sense of what normal looks like ❤

[@mika72.-Bois]

Hi! I am with you on that! Definition of small can vary a Lot! From one country to another! The kitchen there is my dream kitchen! Probably 4 x the size of my kitchen! One thing I find curious is placing the microwaveoven above the cook top! 🤔 I feel there would be a risk of being burnt by steam from pots on the stove! And could make the microwave too high to reach easily! Often seen in north American kitchens.

[@madelineschroedle1401]

​@@mika72.-BoisThe microwaves have a range fan on the bottom, so it pulls it elsewhere.

[@gaynorprice-jones1826]

I only discovered you today and I have already watched a couple of your videos. To cut a long story short I have been in my flat since June 2019, and have been in and out of work since then with a serious problem with my back. So not only am I physically limited the finances are tough too. This week I've had a bit of good news on the money front (only a couple of hundred pounds about $250) but the difference this has made to my mood (even though though the cheque hasn't arrived yet) is huge. There are lots of videos on You-tube helping with decluttering and that kind of thing - and many of them are excellent - but you have 'clicked' with me. I'm not a copy cat, my flat is totally different and much smaller, but you have made me think. In the matter of a couple of hours I have already thought of solutions to make living here SO much better and on a limited budget. Thank you so much. Sending best wishes from Oswestry in Shropshire, England. Good night (it is 11pm). xxx

[@brendafrisby6340]

This was up there on one of the best I’ve seen. Thank you to Emily for allowing us to be a part of this too. I could definitely relate to this! Thank you Cas❣️

[@juliecaron7569]

Nice! I would like to share my best trick to store shoes in the entry space : the Ikea Billy bookcase. It has changed my life! My shoe size is 10 and it fits over 70 pairs of shoes and boots. You can adjust the height of the shelves and add as many shelves to customize the piece. I added the Oxberg doors half glass, half wood, and for the part that the glass exposes, I used baskets to store sandals, scarves and other for a clean, clutterless look that doesn"t expose the shoes. The shoe organizer from ikea that you showed is nice, but only stores about 8-12 shoes and no knee high boots, so it is not practical. A small Billy with double doors would have stored at the minimum 12 shoes and with additional shelves over 40 shoes! Last tip: put one shoe facing front and the other one facing back to maximize shelf space. Love your channel and your energy, I get so many good organizing ideas, thank you!

[@LaLadybug2011]

Thank you for this tip. I have too many shoes, but I love and wear them all!

[@joannawhite1441]

The whole trick about putting the key ring right in his face when he walks in. Just changed my entire organizing world and hopes solved some of my organizational problems.

[@lean3HisBeloved]

When we got married,we moved into my husband's bachelor's flat which was about as big as this kitchen alone. Had to leave 80% of my possessions at my mom's house back home,and moved with 1 suitcase and my special pink embossed dinner plates😂 Thankfully we only lived their for 2 months,but our current place is pretty much the same size at theirs now. Organization is key!!We also have just adopted a doggy❤ This video helps so much as we also both work from home.

I am definitely obsessed with family history. I don't give up til I learn more. I have found that you "get to know" ancestors and develop a sense of what an ancestor's personality was like.

💕Thank you Cass for this video! And thanks to Joe for his brain power and knowledge of woodworking and figuring things out with the shelving in the entry way! It has given me ideas for our little apartment. I have always heard of using the vertical space of your home especially if you do not have a lot of floor or storage/closet space. It is just the figuring out of what will work just right for that vertical space. In addition, our home is 80+ years old and I am hate putting holes into the walls as they are plaster and lattice-built walls. I need to pray to find just the right shelving with a built-in desk for my bedroom now that my brother has moved into the front office/guess/sunroom space. However, I would like to get a desk and shelving that could easily transition into that space if he moves out of that space or moves completely. And thank you Emily for sharing your homes transformation and sharing with us Lucy, so cute. Love it!💕

I had to pause when you pointed out your slippers. We grew up on a farm in Wales so school was a couple of miles away by car. One day our Mother dropped us off and drove away. HORROR! I realised I was wearing my slippers, I was mortified, knowing that my fellow pupils would make fun of me (the entire school was a total of 22 pupils - four to eleven years) - being so small we all knew each other and siblings, parents etc. An entire parish would know that Gaynor had forgotten her shoes. By the end of the day they ALL believed it was a deliberate decision on my part. "I wanted to be comfy", I said!! Sorry for a long story. 😆🤣🤣
