I am glad the wife honored the husband for all he do and worked with him instead of force him to get rid of stuff.
Agree, nowadays many people thinks its wrong if a wife help her husband organizing a garage. I think its wonderful to see old fashion ways to honor each other. /Sofia from Sweden
Yeah, I could tell right away that he just needed a spot to do his work in, rather than getting rid of it all. I was shocked when she said to get rid of it and was relieved to see her change her mind and create a space for him.
The fact the husband had a handle on his organizing style made me smile.
Wow. I love this family. She went to bat for him and really showed alot of respect for what he does for their family.
Then after they were finished, the husband and wife were glowing. They did an awesome job. Way to go!
Thank you Cass for your gentle nudging and direction! 😁♥️
I love the part where they said that this helped the girls realize that things can change and don’t have to stay the same. Such a big empowering life lesson.
Wonderful video. What I love the most is, you didn’t expect them to spend a ton of money and make their garage look sleek and new. They didn’t seem to buy a lot, but their quality of life improved immensely. 😊👏🏻😊
I love that you are so respectful of people who need your help. I have learned a lot about my organizing style and my husband's style as well. I am a ladybug, he is a bee.
Love your neighbor toddler and her mom!
Cas, you're amazing! You're able to help people without even being physically there. If that doesn't scream about how dynamic and effective you are, I dunno what does!
This was GREAT!!!!!! Real life people with a real life garage and this we can all relate to. Was so inspiring to us all.
Love your ideas. Love the couple and their Bible verses on the walls.
I don't have cable, however, I'm pet sitting for people who do....so I will be watching your Hot Mess House episodes.👌😉. This garage transformation was so inspiring. What a sweet family.💝💙
Awesome‼️ I'm in envy!
This was just really nice to watch, I found myself smiling along with them.
They did such a great job! I love how you can help so many virtually!
I'm on day 71 of challenging myself to declutter for at least 5 minutes per day. It's been such a great inspiration for me to not break the chain! ☺️👍 Tammy in N AL. 🙋♀️
That mud room addition was brilliant.
Awesome job encouraging them to declutter and organize their garage. I picked up ideas from your help to them to work on my garage, which is an oversized 2 car garage and only vehicle parked in it is a motorcycle. See, Cas; I said 1/2 mine and 1/2 yours to my husband. He houses tools and 2nd fridge and small chest freezer while I store holiday and umm clutter lol on my side. Now in fairness to me I have decluttered tons, emptied a 10x20 rented storage building of 5 yrs, and a lot of our house,given all our kids their items (2 now rent their own shared 10x10 shed😉) and started to categorize the rest. I then started my TH-cam addiction with you, dawn and Dana. Now I’m glad I found all 3 of you and I have learned a lot, so now I need to do decluttering again and then I know we will have a car and the motorcycle in the garage along with the organized items, labeled in bins that are deemed worthy of the storage shelf space we have on the side of the garage! I am shooting for fall completion or before then would be awesome! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! You are the greatest motivator and I love your sense of humor, I laugh out loud a lot when watching your TH-cam and shows🥰love and prayers to you and your beautiful family too!
This was a real eye opener. Such a special transformation. They both look so pleased and happy💕
This is so inspiring. Cas you are the director to help people see a way to improve a space, and then the cheerleader to help keep the momentum alive and make people feel good in the process.
Tyler is such a bee, and it's adorable!
Garage turned out great. He has his work space and can park in the garage. Lovely couple.
I’d love to see another video like this with more details about the steps involved. I want my basement (former family room) back. It is a REAL dump. I’d also like to know what do you do when your husband isn’t on board with decluttering and most of the stuff is his.
I’d go with Kondo, declutter what you can and perhaps it’ll inspire. Plus pushing someone to let go will just make them hold on tighter. Or you could ask If a certain thing would be ok, less pressure.
Last resort If your husband is leaning towards hoarding: rent a storage and let that his space for his stuff.
Some ppl see no reason to declutter If it fits.
Like my dad, we moved together and I was all about not dragging things along I really didn’t Need or want. I was so excited for him to go through and get rid of decades of things from when he lived in a house, when We were kids etc.
He’s been living in apartments since 10 years.
But Nope, he just chickened out because he imagined getting it all to the ”dump” and being ordered to sort it and he just didn’t want to ”waste” the time.
The cellar storage in his new place was Way smaller But everything could be Shoved in including 1-3 boxes in closets in the apartment….
So why declutter?
He is a stubborn man. Ofc he had years with mum Before their divorce and mum let go Easy so I guess nowadays when it is all his choice he diggs his heels in.
@@MissVasques I think we may be related 😆
This is the best garage before and after I have ever seen. Real life is right. I love how they worked through the whole process to make this space work for their life, and not just be a pretty space. This family seems so sweet, too. Thanks for this!
It looks wonderful! I love the focus they put on Dad's creative space - and it was a little bit of a jaw-drop exactly how well that work area turned out - what you can do when you decide what's important is amazing. They are such a lovely couple - you can see how they look at each other so fondly in the very first meeting 😊
How about a couple command hooks on back of the new books shelf for some jackets? Cool show in hgtv. Reminds me of clean sweep show with peter walsh from years ago which helped me start decluttering!
Peter Walsh just congratulated Cas a few weeks ago when she passed 500k subscribers on TH-cam and she got all teared up because he was a hero of hers!
Thank you for sharing this video. My husband is a butterfly and I am a ladybug and our garage is our biggest cluttered space that we've (I've!) wanted to get organized for years. It has always seemed overwhelming because we couldn't figure out what to do about our differing styles or how to make the space work for us. Thank you for this treasure trove of ideas. I hope to share it with my husband in the near future. Seeing Tyler's pride in his space was priceless! I would LOVE to see that in my husband.
That garage was enormous. So nice to have that additional space for the work area and desk.
This is such a coincidence that you did this right now. Recently I've noticed our new neighbors are not parking in their garages and have thought about offering to help to help them get things organized so they can. I've been passionate about organizing since I was a little girl, but not sure how to go about offering that service.
You can just causally ask to practice on their garage. Tell them it's for your portfolio and you would appreciate it. That way they won't be embarrassed!
@@Clutterbug Thank you Cas. Many of my bosses and coworkers over the years have told me to go into the business of helping others get organized. I'm now retired, have been since our grandson was born 13 years ago and I cared for him, and have the time. Thinking maybe it's time to make something of my passion.
You should just advertise on local FB pages, maybe put flyers on doors; you would be shocked at the response you’ll receive!
As I'm about to move house, I've been reflecting on past neighbours and have decided to make an extra effort to smile, say hi and have a chat with my new neighbours right from the start. A daunting prospect for an introvert! (I must remember to wear a smile when i go out to the letterbox.) Perhaps if you did the same, it could lead to a great neighbourly friendship, and the opportunity for you to offer to help. So kind of you to want to help others.😊
@@CBull015 Thank you for your ideas C. I don't do the dark side or anything owned by that man, but I agree there are a lot of people that want to be organized but have no idea of how to go about it. You gave me an idea of sending out a group email to my small country neighborhood to see if anyone here is interested. There are others that own businesses that the neighbors use before hiring anyone else. Thanks!
The woman I clean for is starting to let me help her declutter and I did an initial organizing of her garage where I put everything in their zones we didn’t even really start decluttering we just really needed to assess the situation (you couldn’t walk through it, let alone park). It took me three hours and she was amazed I got that much done in that time. Sometimes we honestly just need the push. It can feel bigger than it is because of how long we’ve put it off
Great job Tyler and Connie! You made your garage "bee-utiful"!
This is very inspiring! My husband and I are in the process of decluttering and organizing our garage. We did a huge declutter last year, and we’re slowly getting things the way we want them.
What a great guy, Husband, & Dad‼️
Wonderful wife & Mom!
Amazing Coach ‼️ God bless Y'all 😀. I want this for my Sweetheart! Thanks for the inspiration, life changing for you guys, I'm sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
2:15 the kid just appearing in the background made me laugh a lot
Parents get it 😂
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!
We are about to rebuild a derelict garage and I've been putting off designing it because it needs to be multipurpose, suit a ladybug/cricket couple and grow with our family which isn't finished. My brain! Annnywaaayy, Connie's fighting for Tyler's space email I needed to hear. I've been compulsively decluttering the house and labelling boxes etc. (I'm obsessed with Dana k white, the minimal mom and you) and he's graciously gone along with my compulsive sorting. My turn to let him own a space-like Tyler he works super hard for our family and he needs his tinker spot! Thanks Cas for sharing this, I'm super inspired :)
Most of us are too impatient and want it 'done' straight away. What I've learned to do is accept it will take far longer and there will be a mess for a while, not to let it take over your time but don't give up because even 20minutes clearing better than nothing and there will be an end to it
They did a great job. Love the mudroom idea. So sweet of the wife to look out for her husbands happiness. Beautiful work as always Cass.
Hey Cas!!!! I'm extremely motivated by this video ❤️. I watched Hot Mess House last week and I plan to re-watch it along with the new episode tonight! I absolutely love watching organizational videos. I began organizing the basement in parents house week before last. It is a huge job, but I've begun working in sections just like you told this family. It really works! Thanks for all that you do Cas!
I’ve been pushing my dad to declutter his garage… he’s been stuck in a rut for so long. I think what I just saw from this video is that he’s really a visual organizer and he also needs to be able to put things away fast. So he’s been stuck in a rut because he doesn’t have a system like a peg board!
The rest of the family are bees and so the two have conflicted for a long time and things just end up in piles.
I’ve been working for a while now to macro sort and declutter with my dad in his garage but now I know after we get done macro sorting what we need to do for him… peg boards and open shelves!
Oh thank you so so so much!!!
What an amazing transformation! Woohoo to great progress! One step at a time. And Hot Mess House is awesome, I love it!!💗
What a lovely couple. So happy for them!
This is 1 area in our home that needs to be organized. The garage is our Spring project. This is great motivation.
I am SO happy for them! Their teamwork was just heartwarming ❤️
Love your garage. Worked on mine off and on for months but was still so full and cluttered. A great friend that I help and she helps me came and we sent 2 days getting it organized. Was overwhelming at times but she kept me focused. Helps to have someone to work with you
My wife found your videos and we read The Clutter Connection (or, she read it to me while I washed dishes - it's our thing). My office has never had enough stability or self-understanding to really make it functional and aesthetic (for which organization is key) but now we've got a plan and need to make an Ikea run to get it started!
Got this recommendation as I'm literally in the midst of decluttering my garage. My house is in good shape but my garage is another story. I'm starting to see the end in sight though. Great video!
Same here! The only thing I have left is what I've been putting off for many years - my kids' memorabilia. That's the most time consuming thing to go through.
So inspiring! Thank you. The garage is my Nemisis, but no longer. This gave me a good game plan.
Absolutely love this, esp the reveal! They were absolutely beaming! Well done you two! Great ideas, Cas! Thank you all for sharing!!! :D
Glad you enjoyed it! I loved how proud they were!
This helps so many people take control of their space(s)! Thank you!! And I was finally able to (binge) watch hot mess house!!
Great job! It looks great! Decluttering was the key to able to park two vehicles in the garage. Now you can find what you need because everything has a home. I recently got rid of years of papers I no longer needed. I completely reorganized and labeled our files. No more papers laying around and now we can find what we need.
The bookshelf idea is great! Definitely a game changer for me!
We worked on a very small bathroom off and on for the last two months. It had things stored in it on a shelf that needed decluttered. Small chunks at a time was how we straightened it up. Curtains need washed and medicine cabinet needs to be cleaned next. Removed a lot of excess stuff. So much nicer.
That pegboard impressed me.
Yes, break it down to make it manageable. Like Connie said, "bite size pieces"... . I am happy for this couple--this was a big feat, a big win for the family. Awesome, thanks for sharing!
They did so well, great transformation. 😊
I just decided to do a brief declutter of my closet, since I had a pile of clothes to donate that got forgotten after the burst pipe repair. I grabbed 8 things in a matter of a few minutes, plus found the pair of pajama pants I had been meaning to fix (which is now in the line-of-sight mending pile with two other things).
Hi Cas!! I struggle to determine which bug I am … mainly because my lifestyle requires me to clean and tidy quickly. So when you asked “is it more important to put things away fast or find it fast?” it really struck me. I need to put things away fast, but it is more important to me to be able to find things fast. When I have to look through stuff to find what I am looking for (usually paper), it really stresses me out. Could you please elaborate on the difference? I also am an out of sight out of mind person, but I don’t need to see everything, just stuff I need to remember or things I enjoy looking at. The rest I prefer be put away so i’m not looking at it all the time.
Just emptied my folk's home and sold it, and the garage was a nightmare. The neighbor called their garage, 'the warehouse for QVC and HSN'. I took more pictures of the empty garage than anything, b/c I hadn't seen that garage cleared and clean in 50 years!
Love the Hot Mess house.
Season 3 when?
Cass, your like the mama birdie that nudges the fledglings out of the nest! They instinctively know how to fly, but they need the push😉
I would like to see your tv show but we are a no frills cable & no tv subscriptions 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I found this inspiring! My basement is like their garage- a huge mountain of stuff that has been piled up regularly for years with things we don't know what to do with. When I go down there it is so discouraging. I just have my path as the homeowner said and I just go get what I need and hurry out of there. I am going to try to 1) declutter and 2) zone the areas like you suggested. The homeowner said it wasn't that long to accomplish smaller tasks so I am hoping that's what I will feel like. Fingers crossed...OMG now that I said it I will have to do it. This is very scary!!
They look so proud and excited! Congratulations to them!
I’m working on our attic and garage this weekend. This is so helpful!
I enjoyed watching this 👌. The mud room 🙌.
I’m so inspired! What an incredible transformation and family!
Connie fighting for Tyler’s space 😭😭😭😭 that’s so sweet I love it so much
That garage looks awesome. I've gone through ours but I know I have to go through it again
I liked the open bin system. Great video and amazing transformation. Good job guys
This is such a great video! It shows just how much that encouragement, coaching and deadlines really helps! It's such a valuable service to offer people.
Really liked this video. It flowed really well and inspired me to organize my space! More like this please!!
The couple did an amazing job with your help!
I want to become a professional declutter/organizer. I am not sure how but I have noticed that you are very patient.
Best thing I ever did in the garage was buy a big tool chest with a workbench top. I got all my tools out of three cluttered tool boxes and organized into the pull out drawers. I then built a workbench from some plans I found online at the same height with storage underneath for some of my bigger items like saws. It makes doing things so much easier knowing where everything is and not having to hunt around for stuff.
That's a huge garage! Some much space & get both cars in. Beautiful job! I too found myself smiling with them.
They did a great job congratulations 👏💖
Wow you can really feel the joy and energy from this couples transformation, how motivating! (The neighbor kid and your reaction was simply the best) 🤣
I am so impressed with the garage make over. I don’t have a garage, but I do have a sewing area and lots of fabric… all scraps from quilt making. I keep rearranging it to make my space neat and tidy. I’ve purged, put the fabric in cubes, everything looks so good. You might say, what’s the problem? Well I thought I was a ladybug, so everything is hidden. Without seeing stuff, I have no desire to sew anything. I bought an L shaped desk, with the sewing machine on one side and my computer and desk things on the other. I have no desire to sit there. Before, I would start my day there as soon as I got up, and spend hours doing things. Creating and making things, doing watercolor painting.
Maybe I’m not a ladybug after all. Maybe, maybe, ……., maybe I’m just in need of a break from too much of everything. The shut down forced me to slow down and learn to relax, …… yes, that’s it, I learned to relax, it’s a novelty…… is there a critter for that?
I absolutely love your season 2 of Hot Mess House. You are sincere, loving and really know your clients needs. I have been following you on TH-cam for years and you have evolved in to such a super star. You go girl. Proud of you.
I love this video. Thank you so much for sharing this family's story. Their garage is looking great!
Oh we have a garage that is probably 10 times worse! Inspiration to get it cleaned out!! Loved Hot Mess House- it’s recorded of course 😉
I’ve been meaning to organize my garage. There’s great inspiration here, Cass! Congrats to the homeowners.
This is such great motivation for me because my garage is truly the dumping ground. I only have one car to park so its easy to make it messy. I have a friend coming over this weekend and she is going to help and I'm going to help her work on her garage!
Cass! OH My gosh! You did a garage space! That is awesome! I am working on my garage! You are the BEST!
I moved 8 months ago and still have a room with unpacked boxes, home decor, tools, photos (which need to be hung) plus odd bits of stuff. I will try this approach on that room over the next couple of weeks to see if I can finally get it done! You give me hope!! ☺️☺️
I love this transformation. It looks great.
Thank you! 😊
I am so impressed with what they’ve done. Good job! 👍🏼☺️✨
Perfect timing! I'm moving in 4 wks & need to declutter (purge to highest order!) my crammed garage. Dreading it! But I know where to start now. Chuck rubbish & junk. Purge unwanted items. Macro sort & pack the keepers. Simple. Okay, first job tomorrow - grab a garbage bag & head to the garage. Wish me luck!!! (Omg, wth am I getting teary?!)
Inspiring, and so lovely to see their support of each other and your support and cheerleading
Such a great transformation and inspiration. This is our messy space too. I am going to be tackling this summer. Thank you for breaking down the steps and making it feel manageable.
This was so inspiring!! And a great way to organize their space
Holy Amazeballs! I can’t wait to show my husband this when we start to tackle our basement workbench area!
Great family and it so fun to see how happy they are. Cas you’re the best.
Love this transformation they did with all your guidance & positive words 💕
Love what they accomplished! It looks amazing 👏👏👏 My new philosophy is if they can do it why can't I try.
I love this
LOVE THIS!!!!! I want to go get out in my garage right now!
'Holy Doodle' is now my new catch phrase! 😂😍
I love this garage! It took me 2 weeks to declutter and purge,donate and organize
For some reason your Hot Mess House didn't start here in my area of AZ, till today. This morning I watched what might have been last weeks show, not sure. Another one is set up to record tonight. I just want to say, I was so impressed with the basement and bedroom areas you did, but mainly the people's basements. I can't even imagine having to tackle those projects. I admire you for being persistent but caring with customers who want the change but are so emotionally attached that they have a hard time letting go. It's great when they finally can see and get on board with how you are helping them. You truly help them get their lives back. Great job!
Looked like my garage! I am so dreading it!
Loving these consults. And I binged season 1 after the premier. Retook the test and I am a Bee. Ironic because my name means honey bee.
Just watched your new show (with Amanda and Steph). You made the comment about “some people look at this in the what if I need it” so they keep it. This is SO me!
Fan tas tic job Cas!!!
I love their big smiles. Good job!
