Thanks to my husband who doesn't like being on camera, but let me film this one :) And also thank you to him for the great freebies I was able to score :) ***please know Izzy was fine, she just wanted more treats 😊 but we wouldn’t given them too her.

[@lauragill5422]

Ok I know it’s not the point of the video but I love that grey t shirt and how it fits! Any chance you can share where it’s from?

[@deannaw9657]

Jackson, the man of few words... "My wife wears my clothes" and "I can share my feelings "... 😂

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

[@darleneh608]

Two things I did that got my husband to declutter his clothes: 1. I decluttered my t-shirts, which were previously folded and stacked in two dresser drawers. I got rid of the ones I needed to (not very many), then folded the rest using the KonMarie method. When finished, two dresser drawers were reduced to one, with a lot of room left over in that one. Then I dragged him in to see it. He liked it and said he should do that, too. 2. I was sick of hearing him tell me that he needed new socks, when I knew that he had a pretty big sock drawer that was absolutely full. I had kept telling him to get rid of the socks that couldn't be worn, and then we'd get him new ones. He acted like he didn't understand that concept. So one day, I dumped all his socks on the bed and then sorted them into three piles. In good shape, with matched pairs. I folded these in pairs and stacked them neatly. It was not a large pile. In good shape, but I couldn't find the matching sock. There were only a few. The ones with holes, blown elastic, worn thin, etc. This was a big pile. Then I dragged my husband in. He seemed pretty peeved until I said, "all of your socks are here, I haven't gotten rid of anything. But I did sort through them." I explained the piles, and asked him if it was okay to toss out the ones in the big pile with holes and such. He riffled through them before saying yes. I tossed them immediately. Then I asked him if he wanted to do the same with the non-matching ones. He matched up a couple that were "close enough" and said yes to tossing the rest. Then we looked at what was left and discussed which types of socks he needed to buy. He has been good about going through his clothes ever since then. I think he just hadn't ever thought about how to declutter his clothes, so he didn't know where to start.

[@amychen2504]

I love meeting partners! He makes you look so petite whereas when it's just you, you come across as really tall. I also love the dude energy, like "they're ratty but they're comfortable"

[@soburlvt]

I think she really is tall. She has mentioned how tall she is before, but I forgot.

[@assimpleasgravity]

Jackson represents so many people that simply do not have organization as a hobby but are fairly organized without much effort and April is the embodiment of intentional orgnization and decluttering. It's really nice to see how some simple questions help guide you guys along in this process working together. And of course highest points to Izzy who's just there - on the bed - for the vibes but also to be super (un)helpful by being super in the way of Jackson :D 14/10 best assistant ever🐈‍⬛

[@kathybell4878]

I love your husband!! 100% dude in his comfy clothes, non ironed "nice" clothes that never get worn, awesome 12 year old folding method. All his honest answers made me chuckle as I'm just like him :) Please have him on more as I love how you two interact and he seems like a nice guy.

[@christinen.6140]

Both of you had things you mentioned only using when you travel (his jacket he wears in Oregon and I think yours was a bag.) I would store those things in your luggage, not in the closet at all. One less thing to have to remember when you're packing - where did I put that thing?

[@carrie3206]

I love this advice! I was also wondering if someone would remember where they put that jacket if it wasn’t hanging up, so putting it in the suitcase is such a brilliant idea!

[@weeepsalotts723]

I do that with my summer trip items. I go to the same place every year and need specific items that i never use at home so i leave them in my suitcase, if i need the suitcase for a different trip, i leave them in a pile and return them to the suitcase when i am back. It helps me to not forget those special items for the summer trip and keeps them out of my way.

[@jennyjenkins877]

I love it when Izzy 'answers' you... so cute. I had my partner watching over my shoulder and chuckling whenever he heard the meowing too.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

She was extremely needy this day🤣

[@njmaryannez]

Jackson’s T shirt folding method is the universal home method. (Me and everyone i know, except MY husband, does it that way!) I think your style is the store method.

[@ChristianAnneSmith]

I love the way you two laugh together. Such sweet humor. I also love how much you listen to each other. Fun decluttering video, but even sweeter was witnessing the process.

[@ginger4023]

Omgosh, you two are so cute together. Great job on the closet.

[@lesliesgarden6798]

Izzy curled up in a shirt (?) taking a bath at 13:05 - so cute!

[@user-zr8xi4pw9v]

Aww, that last shot of mom, dad, and Izzy!

[@kathryngarcia8800]

I appreciate your husband's thoughts on a brand he likes. I have 3 sons that I purchase "athleisure" wear for, so it's so helpful. The family closing shot was everything ❤

[@yamimana9918]

He did a great job! Especially since he doesn't like being on camara (I feel him on that). I would appreciate if you let us know a few videos down the line how it's been working out for him.

[@3TXSisters]

Thank you for allowing us to see your process decluttering and organizing. Your husband was a good sport. Take care, Linda 🦋

[@CoolInOlympia]

Nice job! You learned so much about your husband! Izzy says there is still room for her favorite blue box just for her on the bottom shelf!❤

[@shawnrobertson9618]

Love Izzy sitting in the middle of everything! 😸 Can feel the love between you and Jackson. 😊

[@leastidyworld4365]

1:00 How the cat said yes, so cute.

[@lfuentes4098]

I bought some wire shelf dividers to keep clothes from toppling over. They sell nicer clear acrylic as well. I also use half sized cube storage for pants and sweatpants. I use the file method so you can pull out the box like a drawer and pull out what you want. This has worked great for my teenaged sons.

[@ginagonzalez6547]

You 2 look adorable organizing the closet. You are so cute figuring out what to keep and what to get rid of. You made me laugh when you started saying you want to keep this and that. It was so funny after you got rid of so many clothes when you organized your closet. I understand why you wanted to keep those items. Your husband wore them, unconsciously putting them on (besides liking them), which makes you feel much closer than you already are. Very cute.

[@teresa3070]

Enjoyed watching the two of you together. So wholesome. Nice work. Looks great.

[@annegamble7698]

Loved this. You two are darling.

[@elizabethwinters5361]

Love this video with Jackson! I think he charmed us all!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

🥰

[@DipityS]

Beautifully done - with you using your hard earned knowledge to help your husband break down the task allowing him to achieve what he vaguely knew he wanted. Organised, ease of use, and also nice to look at - with open space for Miss Izzy to stand and judge you both 😊

[@tammybruinsma1328]

Such a fun video! Jackson was such a good sport. You two are so good together. 🥰

[@fbz2415]

Jackson's closet looks so good now, may be the cap containig the jacket can be put next to the socks, I am sure if it were mine I would forget where is it now, love from Perú

[@pamelapeterson2987]

This is exactly what happened with my husband when I decided to declutter the spaces in the home that I controlled...he saw how calm and clean those spaces were and decided to do his own spaces. If I had either decluttered his stuff without his permission or nagged him about decluttering his own stuff, he would have braced against it. It had to be his idea.

[@JennyHanlon]

It was really good to hear Jackson share more! Loved the cuddle at the end, hope Izzys cat cold has gotten better. She seems so much more vocal and relaxed in the new place!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

She LOVES her new window to watch cat TV from. :) and sunbathe!

[@RitaVernoy]

You move? I missed that. Nice to see hubby . Hello from Paraguay😊

[@pinadelmonico]

Are u guys still Asia?

[@lohrss]

Izzy loafing and meowing is chef's kiss:)

[@diaphanouswaffle]

This was fun & funny, as well-a real "feel good" video. The part where you two were trying to understand each other's folding methods was relatable & amusing, educational too. And the kitty content always adds a dash of adorableness ! Thanks to you both for sharing this with us :)

[@LaurelChinnRealEstate-Fairfax]

🎉 Fun to watch him loosen up on camera. 🎥 He’s a natural. ✅

[@sabinekarlsson8803]

At 14:10 with your cat in the box - "if it fits, I sits" - and nibbling on the edge ... 😄

[@luzortega6338]

I was helping my friend reorganize his drawers and declutter and something that came up while doing it that made me realize i also struggle with is having a really nice piece of clothing from a good brad particularly and saying you want to let go of it. I asked him why he’d want to keep something that didn’t fit him well or it was almost all worn out and he said cause it was still a really good brad and good quality. It made it easier decluttering it if the “nicer” pieces were given to family or friends that would probably fit better on them or be used more often. I totally got his sentiment with knowing there are quality pieces you’d just feel bad about getting rid of vs having it be actually used by someone close and potentially seeing that. Ive been doing the same and it helps with that feeling! :)

[@hannahkennedy2259]

Good job 👏 👏👏!!! I actually showed my hubby this. And he said yes . But he said I have to go first 😆. So I guess it time to declutter 😃🙋🏻‍♀️.

[@vanillaskye55]

I'm so happy you did this. My husband never knows where to buy tee shirts. So he buys Target because it's accessible. But they fall apart after 3 months! So thank you. I will have time try fabletics

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

He loves the 24-7 tee and the One joggers!

[@middlelle]

My bf hangs most of his clothes. He folds pj bottoms, shorts and sweats (and of course socks and underwear).

[@hopefully2224]

Such cuties ❤

[@ilanapeters4239]

Ha my cats heard Izzy and thought it was each other, so funny! I like hanging all the clothes I can, and what I can't, I file fold in drawers or baskets on shelves. Maybe that's a good solution for your husband too.

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Hi, April! Great job, Jackson! You guys did a great job with his closet. Izzy did too! She’s so chill! Keep up the great work. Hugs for Izzy and hugs for you too!💙🥰💙👍

[@margiebramer2384]

One of my favorite videos to date!! My husband and I are 2 very different organizers. 2 different ways of folding. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ann-marieseabolt9535]

Awww, you're still all giddy in love, that was sweet

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝thanks for the great video🌻

[@rebeccacrone8864]

Love the cat in the box.

[@gabbihoyt5425]

This is awesome! My husband needs his reorganized not necessarily to declutter. I have the opposite problem of hoarding. I constantly want to get rid of things but then later I'll have to repurchase things so my husband has had to put in rules about not just getting rid of stuff willy nilly.

[@Arleen1010]

Great job, you guys. Looks so nice and organized. You two are so cute.

[@casn3424]

Good job!!! 👏👏👏

[@chriswadsworth7387]

I didn’t realize you lived in Oregon before! Love Oregon except for the rain!

[@mybeautifulworld6724]

My husband hangs tees and shirts they look good!

[@ninirossau2304]

both husband and cat are super cute. my tuxedo cat really listened so now I need to take her out.

[@katsspace4688]

Tuxedo cat😻

[@jackandlill]

Your so funny April - You don't have to say - "off camera we'll do underwear" lol!! Anyway, your husband is adorable! Kudos to him for allowing himself be put on camera - I'm sure some people will be showing their partners this video for inspiration...

[@jennyjenkins877]

💞 You guys work so well together!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

💛 Thank yoU

[@rebeccacartier153]

Wait did Jackson say he goes into the office for work… does that mean you two moved back to the Netherlands?

[@judyzwemke9305]

I was thinking the same thing. Where are you? How did I miss a move?

[@kerry0411]

Hahaha that's exactly how I fold my tops. April, I've no idea how you did your folding style though 😂 Love to you all ❤

[@olivemaycards]

Izzy is so helpful lol

[@lisakallunki5042]

I would literally jump for joy, if my husband had only the amount of clothes that your husband started with! It wouldn’t surprise me if he has three times the amount of clothes that I have and most of them never get worn but he won’t get rid of anything. He has stuff in two closets and two dressers

[@geneva2846]

omg, Woodburn! Yes, Oregon!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Love those outlets!

[@diannagoulart3850]

Loved the video, great job!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Thanks so much!

[@potsylvania]

He could just donate what he doesn’t use very much to April and then he could borrow them from her when ever he felt like wearing them. 😂

[@auntylinda7640]

❤

[@marietighe2602]

Fold the hoods inside the coat so it’s out the way doesn’t take up more room

woodburn is near where I lived for a while.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Yes he does :)

[@Edible_Kittens]

@@SpaceMakerMethod It’s really sweet how much you adore this man :) reminds me of my bf and I. Great vid!

[@cynthiaclee9209]

For someone that likes to declutter and clean, you need to button shirts and straighten collars, also either tuck the hood in or straighten, that way items will not need to be ironed when you go to wear them PLEASE DO THAT

[@sandrawilliams7318]

hi new subscriber from uk, you are a lovely couple,and have great classic style, izzy is adorable best wshes

[@lochnessmonster5539]

Hi are you still in South Korea?

[@lindaroyal8161]

QUESTION - Did you move? The bedroom looks larger with more closet space. Did I miss a video? I went back through and don't see any that I haven't watched. Thank you.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

We moved, but didn't film it :) It just adds too much unnecessary stress that way.

[@lindaroyal8161]

@@SpaceMakerMethod - hope you do video walk through of your new place, you know we're all curious to see it, how you have it set up and organized. TY

[@wendyschmidt6960]

Where are you living now.

[@Simmers09]

When did you all move?!?

[@cheryllewis-scott8741]

Who knew that men had such complex emotions regarding their clothing!!!🤣🤣🤣.

[@maddscientist3170]

ur hubby is cute

[@sparklelee4368]

yes, of course he agreed if it was quick as men have, in general, a higher degree of attention deficit disorder than women. Does your husband talk to you 90 min a week? I am sure he does not. Experts - Jordan Peterson - clinical psychologist of over 30 yrs says that is necessary for a couple to stay happy.

[@tinamax4023]

did you move?

Yes, but not permanently :)

[@hembel9072]

I'm so confused. It looks like you moved? I've watched every video how in the hell did I miss that?

[@girlk1598]

She's a lot

[@anitcolor]

Nice video, but how is a couple of clothes heavy?

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Which ones do you mean?

[@njmaryannez]

Men’s jackets, especially leather and suede ones, are exponentially heavier than women’s versions. And lifting them off from that high rod is harder on your shoulders and back.

[@yk2471]

As other commenter said, jackets can be really heavy and it's also about the position you're lifting from - but also when you have back problems or other health issues, things can be hard to do even if they "objectively" don't seem difficult.
