You called them Bag-L’s instead of Bay-gulls 🥹 it’s Bay-gulls and you haven’t had 1 until you’ve had a New York City Bagel - I’ll ship you some as a thank you for all the tips 💪🏽
Oh my gosh! Thank you for Not cutting out the "angry pantry door" moment, lol. My favorite things about you are how real you are and how you organize for what works for each person. I am looking forward to your unpacking journey as I'll be moving and unpacking in a year. Thank you for all your content!
"It's all about laziness and taking the fewest steps possible especially with the things you use most often" THIS is GENIUS! Your right, placement should be convenient!
That was NOT wasted time! I would be glad that the kitchen was organized before I was moving everything else in. Kitchen and bedroom are the 2 things I've always set up 1st. 🥰
I agree, when I moved into my apartment I couldn't even think until I stayed up late organizing the kitchen. The kitchen needs to be functional so life can go on!
Yes! Kitchen, bathrooms & move the beds in first & set the beds with linens for a great nights sleep in the new home! Btw, I think the sellers have to disclose the flood zone😬
OMG, when you yanked the pantry door and everything when flying I laughed out loud. Thanks for being real, Cas...you make me believe I can do it, too! Best of luck on your new house!!!
"So suck it, Joe" got me to subscribe 😆 Also, it was so relieving to hear an organizer say "sometimes it doesn't work out." Fellow ADHDer here, thank you 🙏
LOVE your kitchen organization. I personally wouldn't keep cleaning supplies next to the food, but you know if it makes the most sense for your home. About the water - get a consultation about drainage ASAP! We had French drains at our old house that would drain water out to the street during storms. Getting them installed was WAY cheaper than paying to repair flood damage (about $300 per drain in my area 10 years ago). Also, check the basement for signs of previous water damage, around the doors, the baseboards, etc. Also, buy some sandbags to line around where water might try to come in in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the lakefront views!
I completely agree that the kitchen is the first room that must be organized and good to go on Day 1! I lost my husband four years ago this month so I don't laugh very often but you had me laughing so much and I thank you so much for that! I can't wait to see & hear all your stories. Thank you for sharing your world with us. God bless all of you.
Another quick tip - look around to see if there are existing French drains and make sure they're not clogged up. Ours would occasionally get filled with debris where the water was meant to enter them.
@@lfuentes4098 I totally agree. I'd be furious that there was no "FULL DISCLOSURE" before they bought this property, therefore, that contract can be nullified if they chose to do so. That water didn't collect just recently and I'm sure it was going to be very expensive to drain that swamp land and fill it, which is probably why they sold the house.
I don’t know much about French drains but I don’t think they are the answer for your huge problem. You are going to need to bring in some professionals…Do your neighbors on both sides of your property have the same problem? Good luck with it… I don’t think that it will be a cheap fix. You have a great house, have fun with it.
About the “lake” in your yard. You might have a high groundwater table which would result in even small amounts of precipitation causing the pool of water. Are your neighbors dealing with the same issue? Otherwise your yard might be the catchment area of the surface runoff if it is located in a valley. Very interested to hear updates about this.
I do love the kitchen. My favorite spot to complete is the master bedroom. I was a military wife. We moved every 1-2 years. I found that we ate out the first 1-2 days. The bedroom was my sanctuary at the end of the day. A shower and sleep on clean sheets restored me. The kids always bunked in the living room and "camped". The next day I would unpack the kitchen and bath. The third day was the kids' rooms, and then the rest of the house. I must say I do not miss moving! Lol
I think prepping your kitchen before moving was GENIUS! Also, I died laughing with you at the angry door shutting incident. I needed that laugh big-time 😂
After I finished laughing WITH you at being angry, I totally related to how you test things after hanging them. YOU are amazing and I so appreciate your sense of humor. Your home is gorgeous and I am so happy for you, except for your now lake-front property. When we move, our bedroom gets the bed and a light and nothing else first. Second is the kitchen. That was now wasted time so don't berate yourself. xoxo
I laughed too! That was so real and natural😂😂 totally not wasted time Cas! And yes- ask a professional for suggestions about the yard so you don’t have to worry. 😊
Love how you zoned your kitchen! You can ask your local plant nursery/4-H Master Gardener about your back yard and what plants to use to help with the flooding. Weeping Willows would be a good choice to help soak up all that water as well.
Gorgeous kitchen!! I've never enjoyed watching someone organizing a kitchen from scratch as much as I did with this post. I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything when you shut the pantry door!!
Great video. Thanks for not editing out the pantry door slam😂. Oh my, keeping it real! And I hope you can get the water thing figured out. Definitely looking forward to updates on that. You may need to build a retaining wall. But the dog enjoyed it....
I’m so glad I just found your channel, I’m a 63 yr old married wife, Mom of 2 grown sons and Grammie to 3 wonderful grand children, you were cracking me up, love it ❤
When we moved a year ago, I used birthday money and treated myself to new silicone/wood kitchen tools and a beautiful ceramic container for my countertop. I LOVE IT! It’s decorative and so convenient when I need a spatula, I’m not digging for it (like I’ve done my entire life). I’m all about hiding clutter, but this was a major win for me!
Your yard is amazing. You may want to consider a "dry creek bed" landscape for your back yard. The way I've seen it done is that you landscape your yard like the water is there all the time, except put nice looking rocks and gravel in to make it look like a dry creek bed when the water is not there. Add hearty plants like rushes and cattails, and not only does it look good when the water isn't there, it saves on mowing and maintaining a yard full of grass, which IMHO is a waste of time and resources. I'm sure there are videos out there that explains this better than I am, but done well it really looks nice. Hope that helps!
Between the "Organizationnnnn!", the slammed door, the pink screwdriver that HAS to do the job, and the new lake, I had a ball 😂. Congrats again on the new house!! And this exercise was not a waste of time at all. I thought it was genius that you set up the food and the cleaning stations before the big moving day. All you have to do now is have the heavy lifters bring the big stuff in and not have to worry about setting the kitchen up at the same time. Great work!
We moved 8 times our first 11 years of marriage. Yes, kitchen first! Then make beds! Now, in this house 44 year's, so I learn new and improved ways to organize. Thanks!
"What if I get angry tho. ..?" {Bang, crash boom} 😂😂😂 Thank you for not editing that out of your video and for all of the great tips you shared here. Much respect to the 'yeah, life happens' crew. 😉💪💪
Congratulations on your New Home and the fastest most efficient Kitchen organisation I have ever seen! 😃👏 Your home is beautiful, and either getting the soakaways/French drains cleared (or installed, which you could do yourselves) would definitely help your garden! If you still have water after that build a pond or natural swimming pool with a stream to divert the runoff away from your Gorgeous Home! And willows will dry out the water too but don’t plant too close to the house foundations! On a side note I have never seen ANY mean spirited comments before on this channel, all this weird pettiness shows is jealousy because you have a lovely new Home (and very well deserved). Being jealous just pushes abundance away from you ladies, it’s the opposite of manifesting, something to consider. Especially as Cas said she had issues of feeling undeserving of her lovely new home in her last podcast. Let’s support her and give her encouragement so she knows her worth keeps wanting to make us all free videos! Well done Cas, and that was so interesting hearing your thought process as to why each thing goes where! 😃💖
Resorting to classifying any critical comment as jealousness is lame and lazy. I have my own "dream" house. I don't like how she says she's going to have people see her on a shoestring budget changes. We'll just look at her craft room. Min $2000 of elfa organization products. Ironic that she simulatenously calls velvet hangers expensive. If she wants to say that ok she's getting expensive container store stuff free because of sponcon fine, but let's not pretend she is on a shoestring budget or cheap. She also churns cheap decor, which is not frugality. (And as someone paying retail for container store, not doing sponcon, I do think their stuff is high-quality and worth the money. But I am not delusional enough to tell myself the $764 after 35% off I just spent on a laundry room wall with the cheapest elfa components is shoestring.)
It's definitely not a waste of time. Now that the kitchen is set up, while you move other things, you'll be able to go in the kitchen for a meal/drink/to take a break. It was a great idea. Btw, i love your new kitchen so much.
Decanting spices was actually game changing for me. I never wanted to spend the money, but they got so affordable that I couldn’t resist. I have mine alphabetized and they actually fit well which leads me to put them back where they go. Thus miracle of miracle I can find them when I need them. It also makes it where I can easily tell what I need to repurchase.
Congrats on your new home! Penny is in heaven with her new swimming hole. Since I do not have kids, I always move into a house with consideration for my dogs ( presently 4). The deep breath “ Ahhhhh” exhale feeling that you expressed is EXACTLY how I want EVERY room of my next home , especially the entrance to feel. Spa- like. I will be moving in 2024. Just me and my woofs, so I can do whatever I want. I choose an Oasis feel.
Thoroughly enjoy your story time with Cas! You never fail to bring a smile to my face and lift my spirits! Thank you for being you and such an inspiration ❣️
"Opening the door when angry' 😂😂😂 you are such a crack up. You don't know how happy I am for you Cas, if anyone deserves this beautiful home it's you. 💖
“Suck it Joe!” A favorite term in my house as well 😂 No one knows it yet but they all will be so happy you organized the kitchen before the move! Great job! Spices look gorgeous!!!
Omg, that water is way more than a French drain can handle. I suggested that last week. Take pictures, from every angle and when busy season is here you need a whole landscaping project but you need to show pictures to the professionals. That is big time trenching with excavator Sump pump, maybe not only one, so many sump pump for sure. And the basement, nothing on the floor. No boxes, no cables, everything lifted, only big furniture. Dream space for a roomba. Love the kitchen
I am definitely a visual person. I love everything out so I can see it and enjoy it. But it has to be clean and neat. But sometimes I really like clear open clean areas too.
I thought of it all banging around or falling out if you're in a bad mood opening/closing the door, then came her angry dusting moment and laughed so hard hahahahaha.
I totally understand as a person with ADHD I can work hard at the things that inspire me not so hard at drudgery unless it’s crunch time. Happy moving Cass your home is beautiful.
Tip for deep cabinets that are also high up. I think baskets are also a great solution. Store cook books, travel mugs/ tumblers/water bottles. These would get lost in the back before but now it's easy to pull the basket down- get what I need and put it back up
I think I recall in the first vid Cas mentioned the words “flood plane”. Prep prep prep. It is likely only a matter of WHEN not IF, it comes into basement, plan prep NOW what you’ll do. It’ll make things so much easier THEN
I have no idea why I never thought of using the inside of the cabinet for measuring spoons and cups! I’ve been rolling these things around in my stuffed utensil drawer! By the way, am slowly weeding out that crowded utensil drawer! Not so easy for moi! Thanks for your cheery helpful videos!! 90k views in a day!!! Yay you Cass!! You’re my most relatable organizer with the adhd!! THANK YOU!!
I love your new kitchen and how you've organized it - like a boss 😉 when you tested that door with your cleaning supplies - OMG 😂😂😂 my laugh for the day.
I was so totally involved in your many storage ideas and items that when, at the end of the video, you had your little "incident" with the elfa unit, I jumped up, let out a bit of a scream, scared the puppy who came flying out of the window seat to see if I was ok, and sat here laughing. Cas, you are so good for my organizational life, but more so for emotional health! I"m looking forward to seeing you work on this house. BTW, Joe, this stuff is important!!
I immediately thought of your yard when the storms came through last night. I live in Hamilton, and I was watching the storms progress on radar. I hope the water has receded today. This has been an exceptionally rainy summer for Ontario.
For the last year and a few months we’ve been sharing our kitchen with one of our adult sons and his wife. In a few days they are moving to their own place, and I get my kitchen back. I’m so excited to have more room and starting all over in organizing it.
This house is gorgeous! What a long way you have come from the basement daycare Cas, but I loved the Maletose79 pre-Milo days when we were struggling right along with you!!! My husband and I are moving into our "death house" (cause he says he'll die in this house cause he's not moving again) in a couple of months and I know your current videos will be such a help. Thanks, Cas! And congratulations. P.S. You might want to get a landscaper to design a dry creek farther away from your house. They are very pretty, dry in dry weather, but run like a creek in wet weather. The point is it will redirect the water.
If your backyard is a perpetual pond, you could look into some swamp loving/water hungry plants. To help with some stream bank erosion/flooding issues, my friends put in a bunch of willows like 10 years ago and it's helped so much! Definitely reach out to a local garden center though, they are a wealth of information about this sort of thing
The MOMENT you go to slam the closet door!!! My life in 5 seconds! LOL Thank you for leaving those little moments in. They really make my day. I would LOVE to see you work in person! I need to get this stuff done at my house. I moved into my new house 10 months ago and there are soooo many projects but hard to do working and handling two kids! You are a rockstar!
I just helped my sister move, and I got the kitchen ready for her first and foremost! She was so relieved! She told me she was holding off because she was so overwhelmed. But after that, everything was smooth for her. I tried my best to organize everything and told her move what works and doesn’t work, but at least it’s ready to use and clean! I cleaned everything 😮
Cass, I'm so excited for you and your family!🎉 Your home is beautiful and I love how you organized your kitchen! The angry door slam was great!😂 Joe is definitely wrong about organizing the kitchen first. You did the right thing, otherwise, everyone will be yelling, "Mom, where are the cups, cutlery, plates, snacks etc." We set up the kitchen and beds with bedding first and one bathroom. It worked out so much better! I love how you organized your kitchen and pantry! It's beautiful! I'm excited to see how you organize the rest of your home! Its beautiful!
Every single time I watch your videos or listen to your podcast, I’m cracking up! You are literally the most adorable, relatable, person in our industry. Thanks for being you!
You always have such good ideas!! I'm going to implement some of those. I laughed to hard when you "got angry" and the shelf fell. I'm happy you share moments like that and I Love your "stay to the end" stories. Looking forward to watching you make your house yours. Thanks for inviting us all to come along.
The minute you mentioned the spice jars and drawer organizer I knew we were kindred spirits! 🤣We just purchased a house and while I haven't bought them yet I already have them saved so I can get them ASAP. I have two magnetic shelves that I keep my most used spices in on the side of my fridge now. You should consider hanging your most used utensils on the wall if they are attractive ones.
Check your subdivision plat (if you live in a subdivision). There may be a detention easement, being the lowest point in the subdivision. Meaning it may happen every time it rains. I sure hope not. Watching you organize your kitchen gave me a few ideas in mine. Thanks! Can't wait to see more.🙏
Your back yard and house are beautiful. Can't wait to see how you bring it all together. The back yard may just be a flood plain and to eliminate the issue you might consider having dirt brought in to build it up so it is not a water bowl for rain or enough to make more of a slope away from the house.
So much chaotic energy in an organising video 😂❤, I started watching your channel to help my semi-hoarder mum organize her house, I stayed for your humour and your energy. Love from Italy 🇮🇹
When we bought our current home I made sure to try and have kitchen essential and bathroom essentials at the ready! Everybody is going to get hungry, and everyone will have to "go" eventually, smart move to have the kitchen ready, and it looks amazing! Couldn't have planned that test with the door any better! LOL!! All of our drawers and doors are now soft close, makes me mad sometimes I can't slam a door or drawer anymore! LOL! OMG, I can't get over the water, that's crazy, and scary with the basement and how close it's getting. I'm amazed nothing has to be disclosed or anything like that. You're taking it in such good stride, I'd be a total basket case! Makes me wonder if that's why the last family moved?! Can't wait to watch all the updates!! The home is so gorgeous!!
My husband was active duty for 23 years, so we did our fair share of moving over the years. The kitchen was ALWAYS the first room I tackled! Our last move was quite interesting: I was leaving on a three week business trip two days after our household goods were delivered. I got the kitchen unpacked and organized, packed my suitcase, and headed to the airport. When I finally made it back home, I had no idea where anything was except for my kitchen stuff 😂
14:50 I laughed so hard I had tears 🤣🤣🤣 I wish more organization/cleaning based content was like this, we need real and honest, not time wasting content that just makes us feel inadequate. I recommend this channel all the time for this very reason
I'd love to see a behind the scenes of making this video - how on earth in the middle of moving you found time to not only plan out the kitchen but also film it with all the shots etc - that's amazing! That's next level planning and content creation 😯
I love you. You’re like the big adhd organised sister I never had. Watching this video is just so me. I would be organising the kitchen to within an inch of its life while I should be packing for sure, it’s the excitement!!! I love it
Congrats on the new, fab house! It’s beautiful! I’m a military spouse & always unpack our kitchen 1st. 2 weeks ago we had our 12th move in 24 yrs & still have boxes in other rooms but kitchen is done! Love your vlogs & show & hope to be half as organized, positive and happy as you! You go, Cas! ❤️
Lol...When we were house hunting, we went during and after a rain. So excited to see how you organize a whole house from a clean slate. Love the zones. Nice pantry, not a fan of cleaning supplies with food items, but you do what's best for you and your family.
OMG I love the organization, I'm definitely gonna try to do the kitchen first, but the BEST of it all is - I just LOVE your energy and how funny this video was 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Great source of inspiration. Amazing storage. I’m having a tough time at present, Hubby and my Mum both passed away, but I did have to laugh when everything fell off the door, made my morning. Thank you for not editing that out. Gives me hope that at some point I will have my home organised and functional. Slowly getting there one space at a time. I know you are busy, but hopefully I could share some of my spaces at sometime. Best wishes from England. Xxx
Loveeee the kitchen organization! It makes me rethink how mine is, and I notice that some things aren't as good as I'd like... To be continued... 😅 Also, for the backyard: have a seasoned landscaper (or other pro) come in and assess some things: water table depth, water runoff inlets/outlets, do you need/can you have drainage tiles instlled, etc... We have a super high water table (our subpump runs constantly). We have a hickenbottom and tile running through the backyard to the ditch to help. (We are farmers though, so do the work ourselves lol) good luck!!!
This was my favorite video of yours in a long, long time! I love your personality and your humor, and you make me want to get up and get some decanting on. And hang some shelves. Love you, Cas!
Congratulations on your new home! So fun and lovely! You’ll need to regrade and raise the backyard. My hubby did that at our home as the creek behind us would turn our yard into a lake just as yours! He raised the backyard 3 feet! It took many dump trucks of fill (which you can find online or at nearby construction projects for free!) and then he hired a bobcat and driver who spread it all! Or find an irrigation specialist to redirect the water further out your property. Good luck!
Congratulations on your new home! It’s beautiful. I think you may want to consider hiring an engineering firm that deals with drainage solutions. It will most likely be costly but far less costly than a flooded basement!
I have no dishwasher. So, my plates are above the counter nearest the stove. I get plates, cups, bowls down to serve dinner. I opted for extra storage for cake decorating supplies instead of running to the garage for them. Organizing is different for everyone. Having a really small kitchen can be challenging too. Thanks for your video.
If your drawers are large and in-drawer organizers slide around, use some museum gel on them. Keeps everything in place without anti-slip mats or drawer liners bunching up.

This needs to be a top comment!!! That looks like a serious issue that needs fixing right away!!!
I know, the inspector was slacking. This should’ve been disclosed if it’s happened before. Maybe talk to the sellers and neighbors. Crazy pants!
Great idea!

@@udalimb384😆😆
That was a laugh out loud moment! So relatable
Best quote from the post: " . . . it really works for our family . . . " Thanks, Cas! Enjoy your new home.
Love how you zoned your kitchen! You can ask your local plant nursery/4-H Master Gardener about your back yard and what plants to use to help with the flooding. Weeping Willows would be a good choice to help soak up all that water as well.
Yup, I left a comment on her other post about creating rain gardens, designed with certain plants and space to hold water naturally.
I wanted to say weeping willows too!❤
Weeping willows are good for soaking up water, but they are also extremely messy trees and very unpredictable to have near the house.
Agreed , we had one on our property and it ended up falling on our house
And don't paint or redo the basement floor until you see how the drainage works in the rainy season
Gorgeous kitchen!! I've never enjoyed watching someone organizing a kitchen from scratch as much as I did with this post. I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything when you shut the pantry door!!

When we moved a year ago, I used birthday money and treated myself to new silicone/wood kitchen tools and a beautiful ceramic container for my countertop. I LOVE IT!

You are lucky to have all these drawers & cabinets. My kitchen has no drawers & limited cabinets.
Your yard is amazing. You may want to consider a "dry creek bed" landscape for your back yard.

Between the "Organizationnnnn!", the slammed door, the pink screwdriver that HAS to do the job, and the new lake, I had a ball 😂. Congrats again on the new house!! And this exercise was not a waste of time at all. I thought it was genius that you set up the food and the cleaning stations before the big moving day. All you have to do now is have the heavy lifters bring the big stuff in and not have to worry about setting the kitchen up at the same time. Great work!
You're so positive I don't believe you
We moved 8 times our first 11 years of marriage. Yes, kitchen first! Then make beds! Now, in this house 44 year's, so I learn new and improved ways to organize. Thanks!
“Don’t be angry” 🙌🏼😂 That was fantastic!
Now I really want to move and start with a clean slate 😂
Penny is living her best life!! Love your kitchen!
Get back in there. What you doing in the comment section
"What if I get angry tho. ..?" {Bang, crash boom} 😂😂😂 Thank you for not editing that out of your video and for all of the great tips you shared here. Much respect to the 'yeah, life happens' crew. 😉💪💪
Congratulations on your New Home and the fastest most efficient Kitchen organisation I have ever seen! 😃👏 Your home is beautiful, and either getting the soakaways/French drains cleared (or installed, which you could do yourselves) would definitely help your garden! If you still have water after that build a pond or natural swimming pool with a stream to divert the runoff away from your Gorgeous Home! And willows will dry out the water too but don’t plant too close to the house foundations!
On a side note I have never seen ANY mean spirited comments before on this channel, all this weird pettiness shows is jealousy because you have a lovely new Home (and very well deserved). Being jealous just pushes abundance away from you ladies, it’s the opposite of manifesting, something to consider. Especially as Cas said she had issues of feeling undeserving of her lovely new home in her last podcast.
Let’s support her and give her encouragement so she knows her worth keeps wanting to make us all free videos! Well done Cas, and that was so interesting hearing your thought process as to why each thing goes where! 😃💖
High score yellowness on her shirt. Can't stop thinking of mustard and taxis
Resorting to classifying any critical comment as jealousness is lame and lazy.
I have my own "dream" house. I don't like how she says she's going to have people see her on a shoestring budget changes.
We'll just look at her craft room. Min $2000 of elfa organization products. Ironic that she simulatenously calls velvet hangers expensive.
If she wants to say that ok she's getting expensive container store stuff free because of sponcon fine, but let's not pretend she is on a shoestring budget or cheap. She also churns cheap decor, which is not frugality.
(And as someone paying retail for container store, not doing sponcon, I do think their stuff is high-quality and worth the money. But I am not delusional enough to tell myself the $764 after 35% off I just spent on a laundry room wall with the cheapest elfa components is shoestring.)
“Don’t be angry that was the lesson here” 🤣🤣❤️ thank you for that great laugh!!
It's definitely not a waste of time. Now that the kitchen is set up, while you move other things, you'll be able to go in the kitchen for a meal/drink/to take a break. It was a great idea. Btw, i love your new kitchen so much.
love your beautiful honesty, and glad I'm not the only person who"angry opens" a door 😁
Decanting spices was actually game changing for me. I never wanted to spend the money, but they got so affordable that I couldn’t resist. I have mine alphabetized and they actually fit well which leads me to put them back where they go. Thus miracle of miracle I can find them when I need them. It also makes it where I can easily tell what I need to repurchase.
Same here!
Congrats on your new home! Penny is in heaven with her new swimming hole. Since I do not have kids, I always move into a house with consideration for my dogs ( presently 4). The deep breath “ Ahhhhh” exhale feeling that you expressed is EXACTLY how I want EVERY room of my next home , especially the entrance to feel. Spa- like. I will be moving in 2024. Just me and my woofs, so I can do whatever I want. I choose an Oasis feel.
I love your videos and your personnality. I was anxiously waiting for your next video. I want to see all of your move into this wonderful home!
Trying to figure out kitchen organisation ideas.
This was so helpful and she's so adorable I was laughing most the way!
Thoroughly enjoy your story time with Cas! You never fail to bring a smile to my face and lift my spirits! Thank you for being you and such an inspiration ❣️
Are you really this positive?
"Opening the door when angry' 😂😂😂 you are such a crack up. You don't know how happy I am for you Cas, if anyone deserves this beautiful home it's you. 💖
“Suck it Joe!” A favorite term in my house as well 😂 No one knows it yet but they all will be so happy you organized the kitchen before the move! Great job! Spices look gorgeous!!!
I used your quote "SUCK IT JOE" and my husband got offended & wants to know who JOE is 😂
Omg, that water is way more than a French drain can handle. I suggested that last week.
Take pictures, from every angle and when busy season is here you need a whole landscaping project but you need to show pictures to the professionals. That is big time trenching with excavator
Sump pump, maybe not only one, so many sump pump for sure. And the basement, nothing on the floor. No boxes, no cables, everything lifted, only big furniture. Dream space for a roomba.
Love the kitchen
I just love your self deprecating humor and how real you are! I always look forward to your videos!!! Obsessed with your spice cabinet!
I am definitely a visual person. I love everything out so I can see it and enjoy it. But it has to be clean and neat. But sometimes I really like clear open clean areas too.
Love your new home. It's absolutely gorgeous. I'm so excited to see you organize and decorate each room. Congratulations on your new home.
Your spice cabinet is so dreamy! And hanging the measuring cups/spoons inside the cabinet is brilliant.
That shirt is so yellow. Can't even concentrate on the video
I thought of it all banging around or falling out if you're in a bad mood opening/closing the door, then came her angry dusting moment and laughed so hard hahahahaha.
I totally understand as a person with ADHD I can work hard at the things that inspire me not so hard at drudgery unless it’s crunch time. Happy moving Cass your home is beautiful.
Tip for deep cabinets that are also high up. I think baskets are also a great solution. Store cook books, travel mugs/ tumblers/water bottles. These would get lost in the back before but now it's easy to pull the basket down- get what I need and put it back up
I think I recall in the first vid Cas mentioned the words “flood plane”. Prep prep prep. It is likely only a matter of WHEN not IF, it comes into basement, plan prep NOW what you’ll do. It’ll make things so much easier THEN
You kept saying “they have…” no, you have, Cass! and you deserve every bit of it.
P.S. I was worried you we gonna start color coordinating 😂
I have no idea why I never thought of using the inside of the cabinet for measuring spoons and cups! I’ve been rolling these things around in my stuffed utensil drawer! By the way, am slowly weeding out that crowded utensil drawer! Not so easy for moi! Thanks for your cheery helpful videos!! 90k views in a day!!! Yay you Cass!! You’re my most relatable organizer with the adhd!! THANK YOU!!
I love your new kitchen and how you've organized it - like a boss 😉 when you tested that door with your cleaning supplies - OMG 😂😂😂 my laugh for the day.
Don't lie. It wasn't that funny
I just loved when you shut the pantry door. Love how you are just real. We can all relate to that moment!
I was so totally involved in your many storage ideas and items that when, at the end of the video, you had your little "incident" with the elfa unit, I jumped up, let out a bit of a scream, scared the puppy who came flying out of the window seat to see if I was ok, and sat here laughing. Cas, you are so good for my organizational life, but more so for emotional health! I"m looking forward to seeing you work on this house. BTW, Joe, this stuff is important!!
I immediately thought of your yard when the storms came through last night. I live in Hamilton, and I was watching the storms progress on radar. I hope the water has receded today. This has been an exceptionally rainy summer for Ontario.
For the last year and a few months we’ve been sharing our kitchen with one of our adult sons and his wife. In a few days they are moving to their own place, and I get my kitchen back. I’m so excited to have more room and starting all over in organizing it.
I can relate , my daughter and her family move this week too, can’t wait to refresh 🎉🎉🎉
This house is gorgeous! What a long way you have come from the basement daycare Cas, but I loved the Maletose79 pre-Milo days when we were struggling right along with you!!! My husband and I are moving into our "death house" (cause he says he'll die in this house cause he's not moving again) in a couple of months and I know your current videos will be such a help. Thanks, Cas! And congratulations. P.S. You might want to get a landscaper to design a dry creek farther away from your house. They are very pretty, dry in dry weather, but run like a creek in wet weather. The point is it will redirect the water.
If your backyard is a perpetual pond, you could look into some swamp loving/water hungry plants. To help with some stream bank erosion/flooding issues, my friends put in a bunch of willows like 10 years ago and it's helped so much! Definitely reach out to a local garden center though, they are a wealth of information about this sort of thing
love that idea great suggestion.
The MOMENT you go to slam the closet door!!! My life in 5 seconds! LOL Thank you for leaving those little moments in. They really make my day. I would LOVE to see you work in person! I need to get this stuff done at my house. I moved into my new house 10 months ago and there are soooo many projects but hard to do working and handling two kids! You are a rockstar!
You're being so nice I don't believe you
I just helped my sister move, and I got the kitchen ready for her first and foremost! She was so relieved! She told me she was holding off because she was so overwhelmed. But after that, everything was smooth for her.
I tried my best to organize everything and told her move what works and doesn’t work, but at least it’s ready to use and clean! I cleaned everything 😮
I'm sure she appreciated that 😊
You're an angel. Bless your soul
Cass you are such a legend. I love your excitement about your hanging spoons "like a glove!" - adorable!
Cass, I'm so excited for you and your family!🎉 Your home is beautiful and I love how you organized your kitchen! The angry door slam was great!😂
Joe is definitely wrong about organizing the kitchen first. You did the right thing, otherwise, everyone will be yelling, "Mom, where are the cups, cutlery, plates, snacks etc."
We set up the kitchen and beds with bedding first and one bathroom. It worked out so much better!
I love how you organized your kitchen and pantry! It's beautiful!
I'm excited to see how you organize the rest of your home! Its beautiful!
She lyin
‘Don’t be angry” Omg, you crack me up😂 I luv the way you organized everything!!!
I'm so loving seeing your new place!
Every single time I watch your videos or listen to your podcast, I’m cracking up! You are literally the most adorable, relatable, person in our industry. Thanks for being you!
You always have such good ideas!! I'm going to implement some of those. I laughed to hard when you "got angry" and the shelf fell. I'm happy you share moments like that and I Love your "stay to the end" stories. Looking forward to watching you make your house yours. Thanks for inviting us all to come along.
The minute you mentioned the spice jars and drawer organizer I knew we were kindred spirits! 🤣We just purchased a house and while I haven't bought them yet I already have them saved so I can get them ASAP. I have two magnetic shelves that I keep my most used spices in on the side of my fridge now. You should consider hanging your most used utensils on the wall if they are attractive ones.
Check your subdivision plat (if you live in a subdivision). There may be a detention easement, being the lowest point in the subdivision. Meaning it may happen every time it rains. I sure hope not. Watching you organize your kitchen gave me a few ideas in mine. Thanks! Can't wait to see more.🙏
Luv this video! Great kitchen organizing tips and just in time for my own kitchen update!
Your back yard and house are beautiful. Can't wait to see how you bring it all together. The back yard may just be a flood plain and to eliminate the issue you might consider having dirt brought in to build it up so it is not a water bowl for rain or enough to make more of a slope away from the house.
So much chaotic energy in an organising video 😂❤, I started watching your channel to help my semi-hoarder mum organize her house, I stayed for your humour and your energy.
Love from Italy 🇮🇹
When we bought our current home I made sure to try and have kitchen essential and bathroom essentials at the ready! Everybody is going to get hungry, and everyone will have to "go" eventually, smart move to have the kitchen ready, and it looks amazing! Couldn't have planned that test with the door any better! LOL!! All of our drawers and doors are now soft close, makes me mad sometimes I can't slam a door or drawer anymore! LOL! OMG, I can't get over the water, that's crazy, and scary with the basement and how close it's getting. I'm amazed nothing has to be disclosed or anything like that. You're taking it in such good stride, I'd be a total basket case! Makes me wonder if that's why the last family moved?! Can't wait to watch all the updates!! The home is so gorgeous!!
Don’t get ANGRY. OOPSIE. Lovely kitchen especially the Pantry.
My husband was active duty for 23 years, so we did our fair share of moving over the years. The kitchen was ALWAYS the first room I tackled! Our last move was quite interesting: I was leaving on a three week business trip two days after our household goods were delivered. I got the kitchen unpacked and organized, packed my suitcase, and headed to the airport. When I finally made it back home, I had no idea where anything was except for my kitchen stuff 😂
14:50 I laughed so hard I had tears 🤣🤣🤣 I wish more organization/cleaning based content was like this, we need real and honest, not time wasting content that just makes us feel inadequate. I recommend this channel all the time for this very reason
I'd love to see a behind the scenes of making this video - how on earth in the middle of moving you found time to not only plan out the kitchen but also film it with all the shots etc - that's amazing! That's next level planning and content creation 😯
She lyin
And also, we have no idea how much time she has between closing and needing to be out of the other house.
I’m surprised that the previous owner didn’t have to disclose that. If that happens with a light rain…😮
I love you. You’re like the big adhd organised sister I never had. Watching this video is just so me. I would be organising the kitchen to within an inch of its life while I should be packing for sure, it’s the excitement!!! I love it
This isn't even her final form
Congrats on the new, fab house! It’s beautiful! I’m a military spouse & always unpack our kitchen 1st. 2 weeks ago we had our 12th move in 24 yrs & still have boxes in other rooms but kitchen is done! Love your vlogs & show & hope to be half as organized, positive and happy as you! You go, Cas! ❤️
Absolutely LOVE THIS HOUSE!!!
You bring me so much joy! You make organizing, decluttering and now unpacking fun!😃😄 Decanting looks good on you. Keep up the great work!
I am living through her
This was awesome.. 😅thanks for taking us through this.. love all the roll outs 😊
I just LOVE your personality! It's so much fun to watch you and it's all totally relatable :D Love your new house and cannot wait for next videos!
Bunch of wins! Unpacking, organizing, lessons and giggles all in one video!
I love your new kitchen. It's so bright and airy.
Cas, this was so amazing watching you organize YOUR house!! I love this!!
And Hey! Be thankful you have rain! Iowa drought, 4 years straight 🥵🔥
Lol...When we were house hunting, we went during and after a rain. So excited to see how you organize a whole house from a clean slate.
Love the zones. Nice pantry, not a fan of cleaning supplies with food items, but you do what's best for you and your family.
I would love to see an update in a few months of what's working and what you changed once moving in!
OMG I love the organization, I'm definitely gonna try to do the kitchen first, but the BEST of it all is - I just LOVE your energy and how funny this video was 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Great source of inspiration. Amazing storage. I’m having a tough time at present, Hubby and my Mum both passed away, but I did have to laugh when everything fell off the door, made my morning. Thank you for not editing that out. Gives me hope that at some point I will have my home organised and functional. Slowly getting there one space at a time. I know you are busy, but hopefully I could share some of my spaces at sometime. Best wishes from England. Xxx
I am so sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
Loveeee the kitchen organization! It makes me rethink how mine is, and I notice that some things aren't as good as I'd like... To be continued... 😅 Also, for the backyard: have a seasoned landscaper (or other pro) come in and assess some things: water table depth, water runoff inlets/outlets, do you need/can you have drainage tiles instlled, etc... We have a super high water table (our subpump runs constantly). We have a hickenbottom and tile running through the backyard to the ditch to help. (We are farmers though, so do the work ourselves lol) good luck!!!
This was my favorite video of yours in a long, long time! I love your personality and your humor, and you make me want to get up and get some decanting on. And hang some shelves. Love you, Cas!
Congratulations on your new home! So fun and lovely! You’ll need to regrade and raise the backyard. My hubby did that at our home as the creek behind us would turn our yard into a lake just as yours! He raised the backyard 3 feet! It took many dump trucks of fill (which you can find online or at nearby construction projects for free!) and then he hired a bobcat and driver who spread it all! Or find an irrigation specialist to redirect the water further out your property. Good luck!
Very nice! Awesome job 🎉🎉
Congratulations on your new home! It’s beautiful. I think you may want to consider hiring an engineering firm that deals with drainage solutions. It will most likely be costly but far less costly than a flooded basement!
I have no dishwasher. So, my plates are above the counter nearest the stove. I get plates, cups, bowls down to serve dinner. I opted for extra storage for cake decorating supplies instead of running to the garage for them. Organizing is different for everyone. Having a really small kitchen can be challenging too. Thanks for your video.
If your drawers are large and in-drawer organizers slide around, use some museum gel on them. Keeps everything in place without anti-slip mats or drawer liners bunching up.
