I found that purchasing a robot vacuum has really helped me feel better about my home. I would much rather clean the corners after the vacuum than having to vacuum the entire space myself. Having clean floors not only looks better, but it also makes me feel better about my house. Good tips! Thanks.

[@susanmercurio1060]

I am hoping to get a Roomba for my floors.

@@susanmercurio1060 🙏🏻Hope you do soon! It's a game changer!!

[@JulieKhuu]

Yup! A total game changer 🙌🏻 People always balk at the open shelving in my kitchen, but I swear I rarely need to dust it! My robot vacuum does all the heavy lifting every day on the floors so dusting is minimal.

[@lanamolczyk5139]

When our three kids were super busy, I dedicated each one the INSIDE of a busy cupboard door (where we kept the coffee, plates, glasses) and everytime I opened those doors several times a day, I could see their schedules, permission slips, forms, etc. However before those schedules got taped up, their event went on the Mom Schedule (inside another supboard door) which was a grid with a column for each kid and I would just write "piano 4 PM", "football 4 PM at Elkhorn" etc. This same text went on my phone calendar. This helped our clutter (and forgetting things).

[@JulieKhuu]

INSIDE the cabinet doors!! 👏🏻 Discreet, functional, convenient- gets the job done. Thanks for sharing Lana! I’m stealing this 🤗

[@dyanalayng5507]

Good use of a bureau to hold shoes! Like the deep fuschia it was. Laundry accumulation: I emptied the bathroom vanity and found it was the best space to store my bag of laundry detergent plus all the dirty laundry. ( I am in a 410 sq ft seniors apt).

[@franriccardi8649]

Need more videos on organization. Have several areas that need attention. Thx Julie

[@lydiadizon5549]

I have coffee maker, toaster and rice cooker on the countertop. I am pretty fortunate to have a utility room in the laundry room...but the big vacuum is in the garage. My entry way is one I cannot seem to really organize and I really need shoe cabinets but still not finding the most practical and one that can add character to the entry way. I don't have TV in the bedroom since I don't really watch Tv, I do everything in my desk top computer. Thanks for the other tips as always Julie.

[@JulieKhuu]

I got rid of the rice cooker and now cook rice exclusively on my stove top. I love how easy it is, plus one less thing littering the countertops. Try it and let me know how different the rice tastes if you’re short on space 🤗

[@samtakhandhia1012]

Hi Julie. Your vlog coincided with me decluttering ,cleaning and organising my mums kitchen and laundry room! I find I’m more productive if my home is clean and organised. I don’t like to have too much clutter on surfaces but it helps that we have a lot of built in storage. Definitely prefer the fridge doors to be debris free. We have a small notice board behind the back of a cupboard door for schedules, coupons etc but I’ve noticed that so much more is sent by email and forms submitted online that there is very little by way of paper these days. Thanks as always for the inspiration and tips. I’m off to do some more organising whilst I’m on a roll! ❤

[@JulieKhuu]

I can’t do a single thing until my home is tidy 🙈 It’s a toxic trait, but one I know I developed as a result of my OCD 😂

[@melissanagy7744]

We have a formal dining room, which we never use, so that table and room end up as a dumping room. I need to re-imagine that room and make it something different.

[@susanmercurio1060]

I had a friend who had a dining room like this. She used it as a home office but I was reluctant to advise her to get rid of the dining room table and make it into a home office.

[@melissanagy7744]

If I didnt already have a home office space I would totally do that. I am currently considering making it a huge butler pantry area ​@susanmercurio1060

Hi Julie, this is a brilliant video!! Thank you! I’m trying to work on my bedroom and your tips are brilliant!!! Oh, one thing I meant to ask….duvet/quilt size. Should we size up? I have a queen size bed. I have purchased inexpensive bedding based on my bed size and have ended up with bedding that’s too small! Ugh!😩

[@susanmercurio1060]

I've discovered that it saves money in the long run to save up and buy the highest quality you can afford.

[@JulieKhuu]

Size up if you like the look of bedding pooling to the floor Barbara. That’s what a king would look like on a queen bed. If it’s a fluffy quilt/coverlet though, I would probably stick to the same size since the proportions are scaled properly 👍

My small kitchen is a wreck... on the counters, under the sink.... geez... but it will get done... thanks for the tips

[@JulieKhuu]

Try putting countertop items in boxes that you place adjacent to the kitchen (but within reach). Sometimes NOT seeing a cluttered countertop helps you rethink of better places to put things.

[@macondesigns]

I needed this exact video today! My entryway and bedroom need some changes that they stay more organized. I have been so unmotivated to start tackling the problems.

[@JulieKhuu]

One room at a time- I’d start with the entryway. That will give you momentum to tackle the remaining spaces Macon 🙌🏻

[@macondesigns]

I really don't miss those days when I had kids in school and the end of the kitchen bench became a general paper pile with mail, school notices, junk mail etc. No matter how often I went through it, the pile never seemed to get smaller - the amount of paper a kid brings home from school is ludicrous.

[@JulieKhuu]

Now I display my items in plain sight and feel less of a need to hide anything away! Trays and baskets do the trick for in-house organization babe!

Thank you. My bedroom needs help I have a small dresser and unfortunately storage bins piled up I have no storage in apt. What can I do?

[@valorielynwhitman8531]

I live in an extremely small trailer. I have had to get ruthless with decluttering and very creative with my storage. You can do this! It takes more to not declutter and organize every day.

[@JulieKhuu]

Invest in a larger dresser that spans the width of the wall/ your space. Employ 1 item that can handle the load of 3-4. You don’t have to buy new! I love FB marketplace for quality furniture. Once those bins are gone, your space will feel brand new Lori! 🙌🏻 Also check out my 10 episode small space series for more inspiration 💕

No, she's right. A cache (pronounced cash) is a purposefully hidden accumulation of things (shoes, grains, electronic files, anything).
