I don’t know if it was the music, your tone of voice, or the speed at which you clean, but that was a great video. I found myself very invested in seeing your home clean.Haha
Yes when I started looking at her vids.i found out she has good music in background it did not over stimulate my brain and her home is very down to earth comfy and realistic
My new mantra is going to be, "the to do list will never be fully done." I really needed to be reminded of that. Thank you Carla for today's video of inspiration. ❤
Yes!! I’m allowing myself to live in deep acceptance with unsolved problems and the undone to do list. Bc that’s life and I don’t know why I ever thought it was gonna be a different way lol 😂
@@TheCarlaProject, hi Carla! Since finding your channel I’ve been binge watching your old and new videos! I love the serenity you present in your videos even when they are cleaning videos. You remind me of my cousin that I love dearly… Thank you for all your content! I’ve enjoyed your videos with your sister and Becky and all that I have watched! Take care! ❤
You're so real!! Showing us the full extent of start before deep clean...... remember that you had a few working days with new friends whilst you were on holiday... that garage decluttering was MASSIVE The girl done great 🥰
Carla, I've only recently started watching your show. Happily, I went through since the beginning. Love it. You are motivating and inspirational, down to earth, funny, beautiful, hardworking and most of all, I feel like I am sitting down, with my best buddy. You keep it real my friend. Love you and Mr. Samson; he's so overworked!
Hi Carla, I recently found your videos and I really enjoy them. This one is great, your home looks lovely. Quick tip from this Dutch woman here: if you wish you could pierce the stems of your tulips with a needle right underneath each flower and they will stand upright in the vase for ages 🙂 Subscribed, with love from the Netherlands!
You must have been so exhausted from the traveling, the decluttering work you did while you were there in the heat and humidity, and even all the visiting because even good experiences require energy. No wonder you needed time to recharge your batteries after you returned home. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I’ve recommended friends watch your videos they’ve all just loved you too. You’re a gem, and so is Samson.
You know, I didn’t even really think about that but I think you’re right! It was a whirlwind trip and I was going nonstop, so yeah, I think my body revolted when I came back 😄😄❤️
Nice job Carla! ❤ It’s such a good feeling to get the house clean (doesn’t happen too often here). I’m amazed at how well your kitchen floor is holding up.
I’ve been binging on your videos for the past 2 months and have slowly started decluttering. Taking off work tomorrow to finish what I started in the closet and tackle the bathroom and kitchen cabinets. The focused calm vibe comes across in the videos and is very motivating. Love that you remind us that “To do”list will always be there but to acknowledge what has been accomplished. Thank you, Carla!!
I’m going to use your idea and buy myself flowers to finish the house after the next time I deep clean. 💐 so perfect and a great appreciation for the work and self care you’ve done.
You need to get a lobby set (dustpan with long handle and broom combo), it makes cleaning up crumbs so much easier when you don't have to bend over all the time. Your stove is beautiful, I don't think I've ever seen a vintage stove in such good condition.
Hello, Carla! I was watching your video of where you traveled to NC and i started my first day of clean and declutter!!! (Long time over due) I started saturday Dec 9, 2023) With the smallest bathroom in the history of the world. I first washed dishes, fed cats and made tea, then, started on bathroom. I listened to you the entire time. I got the sink cleaned, the toilet cleaned, the clutter moved into the hall. Then, a friend called and I lost the video! So, I cant clean anymore. Lol jk. I will find that video again. But, truthfully, i needed a break. I'm drinking my rea and watching THIS video!
I’m kind of a new fan. I wanted to let you know I appreciate your vid’s so much! Let’s me know getting cluttered is okay and to forgive myself for not having a Instagram perfect space 24/7. You’re motivating so many women. Thank you ❤
Don’t you wonder how the dog still has hair on him. I do at my house. With the amount of pet hair I clean up my pets should be bald. What brand is your vacuum?
😂And I brush him vigorously once a day. It’s absolutely crazy!! Vacuum is linked on my Amazon store in the description box. It might be sold out, so check ❤️
Great video. It's motivating! I try to not get my house to a place where it takes a whole day to clean. I now try to unpack from trips right away. And do the dishes right away. It helps me not get overwhelmed, now that my house is decluttered. I'm fighting so hard now to reclutter it so I'm constantly doing small declutters now. I really am fighting the urge to buy more and bring more into the house. It's a constant battle.
Yeah, it takes a lot of awareness to not re-clutter!! I make myself pause before purchasing at least 72 hours. And of course, asking myself. Do I need this? Or will this add value to my home/life?
As a big fan of you and following your channel, I feel like you give SO much to others- - that garage clean out was seriously next level and I thought you were on vacation girl?! - - so I totally understand neglecting home life afterwards. I think it''s whatever fills your cup during times in your life. And sometimes the things we give ourselves are the hardest to muster up the energy for. You are awesome always!
If you reset for ten minutes a day, it would make life so much easier. As I declutter more and more stuff, it makes a huge difference. I don’t have those big messes any more. ❤
A small tip from Greece: we wash rugs like yours in the bathtub.. many times during the year. Just fill it with water and cloth detergent...let it soak ...then rinse it...let it drip..and hang it on the balcony rails, as you alreadt did.
Wow! Your house looks fabulous after the reset. I can really see how the time spent decluttering has paid off, you have a peaceful, beautiful retreat now by basically setting things right and cleaning. If you ever come up to Humboldt I'd welcome your eye in my apartment. Blessings 🌻🍄
I totally agree. Of course I c o u l d clean the dishes, put away the microwave, but .... There' s always s a but. I also know only two stages in my apartment: super tidy / super chaos 😂
I had a very similar stove in my apartment in Echo Park. Isn't it just the greatest? I love the tiles on the floor, I think in another video you said you installed them and they're peel and stick. They are so pretty! I like how Samson is unfazed when you remove the rug - he'll just lie on the rug pad instead. Oh, now you have to vacuum it a 2nd time. They are so lovable even when they are not exactly helping the cleanup effort. :)
Love a good deep clean of a living space. The great thing is that with a small space you have to have a spot for everything or it doesn’t work. I’m never sure where all the extra bits and pieces come from, but they follow us into our homes. Your place looks lovely, shiny and clean and ready for another round of Carla adventures. ❤❤❤
I love your stove. I had one similar to that when I got married in 1968. I am now a 76 year old widow and don’t have the energy or motivation I used to have but watching your videos help. ❤
Your home is so beautiful. Even though we have completely different styles I love how you have everything. So intentional and functional but also styled so well. Thanks for sharing!x
Absolutely stunning after! That was a treat to behold. Thank you for taking us along! Hugs to your cleaning buddy. I have a huge black cat named Samson. He is just as kind and helpful as your sweet pup.
You’re killing it with the videos lately! 👏 I hope you take a moment to look back and feel truly proud of yourself for all that you’ve done and accomplished with your channel. 💛 And that subscriber count…. Well over 50k now! 🎉
Your apartment looks beautiful and it was so satisfying to see you reset it! Samson did a good job supervising your work💛😂! Take care and God bless.🌼🌻🌷
Perfect timing for this video. I was away for two weeks dog sitting for a friend. My 17 yo grandson and husband were on their own. I washed 6 loads of laundry, vacuumed and am now trying to finish up dishes, microwave, and laminate floors. It is satisfying watching someone else do the same.
This was perfect timing. Our family has been sick with covid going on 2 weeks now and I haven't been able to clean. I feel like the apartment has spiraled out of control lol. The entire apartment needs a shower/bubble bath. A major reset would feel so good right now. Thanks for the motivation. Hopefully I can put it to use soon 💚
I found this incredibly relaxing and motivating. I like the idea of clearing a space and working through. It makes so much sense. Your flat is beautiful. ❤
I can totaly relate to the not unpacking thing. Whenever I return from a trip and didn't unpack immeadietly, there is high chance that I won't do this for weeks, stuff will continue to pile up until cleaning floor would be impossible... I also love it every time when someone shows that you need to make more mess to have it clean in the end. My mother [who never did a deep clean] used to argue with little me, that I am making bigger mess, when she told me to clean [even tough it was part of the cleaning]
Yeah, I left my bag on the floor and just opened it up and kept taking things out here and there. Such a bad habit. My friend said I was just leaving it packed and ready for my next trip. 😂
I like that you show real life happens and things are not perfect all the time! I so need to do the same for my entire home! I don’t have a handsome supervisor like yours. But I do have 3 judgmental cats lol 😼. Thank you for the inspiration!
I just had an “Aha” moment. Every time I watch one of these “cleaning my messy room” type of videos, I’m always surprised when they grab a Target bag and start gathering all of the trash that is laying around. Since I already have a trash can in EVERY room, I realized that I NEVER have to do this.🙌🏻 Most people think of having a big trash can in the kitchen and a little one in the bathroom and that’s it. (So if you’re tired or feeling lazy,it just stays on the coffee table.) So….get a couple of Dollar store,plastic trash cans,line them with Target bags,then put them inside something decorative and attractive like a larger wicker basket and then put them in EVERY room!
Two Carla videos in a week! This was good inspo for me to work on my office space. My unpacking journey has been sllllloooooowwww this summer w all of my other responsibilities. My desk surface needs some attention!
I've been feeling in a slump, so I used your motivation and reset my kitchen. It worked wonderfully. Love your calming voice and music you use in your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for keeping it SO real. I always wondered what’s wrong with me that once I clean up, my space can’t stay pristine. I know now that it’s not realistic. We live in our spaces and they get messy🥰 great video as usual and manager Samson is the best💕🐾🐾🐾
Thank you so much for your videos! First of all, I am happy to have found your page as a 30+ WOC. I love that you show your reality and don’t sugarcoat it. Cause sometimes it be like that. I had a suitcase I didn’t fully unpack for 6 months! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Ha ha thank you so much for sharing that! You don’t even know how many people can relate to that unpacked suitcase that just sits there and sits there 😂❤️
I use to clean houses on the side and everything in my house fell through the cracks. You do such as awesome job on everyone else’s home I can understand getting behind on yours. It looks great
So satisfying! I didn't know you had a balcony...comes in handy drying the rug. I recently organized a corner cabinet that has a shelf. Very hard to get down on hands and knees....but everything now has a place. I keep opening the cabinet door and peeking. Thanks for motivating!
Thank you for sharing your "reset" with us. Now I don't feel só bad about my situation. I mostly procrastinate, but your industriousness is an inspiration. Have a good day and take care, 🙋🏼♂️.
This was one of the most satisfying videos to watch by you (they are all great) but not only was it motivating me, but I think it’s the first time I watched your video and got up mid-way and started cleaning while I let it play in the background and then sat down and replayed it after 😊
Such a good video Carla. Thanks for the inspo, I needed it badly. I have been trying to sort out and declutter my bedroom and I can only do it in bursts...it gets overwhelming quickly. I enjoyed seeing you take breaks. It's unrealistic that we can do everything in a short space of time.
Yeah, it’s totally unrealistic to think you can do it all in a day. Especially when you’re in decluttering cleaning, organizing all in one. Gotta take breaks for food. Got to take out Samson got a rest in between handle calls or emails work stuff etc… you’ll get there and it will feel amazing though with your bedroom❤️
I'm so glad you knew when you had to take a break and then did it! I know exactly how important it is to pace yourself, especially when it comes to big jobs like this was. Great job at the end - oh, it was deeply satisfying just watching the video to see the transformation as you've gone along.
Thank you! You are so right about pacing yourself. In the past, I would’ve tried to push through and then I would’ve made myself feel awful or have a headache at the end!💗
That was fantastic. You have been so busy, it is good to take time out to just be and rest Your place looks wonderful. Cuddles to our handsome Samson 🌺🌺🌺
Just wanted to say I love your channel and Samson is a plus. I am also a single woman in My forties living life with my dog trying to do the best I can in this crazy world of ours Thank you for being real.
Hey Carla, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and your videos. I watch way too many decluttering videos and you are one of my favorites! That said, I think we need to have a push to get you to 100k subscribers. You have a lot of people watching your content and even more people commenting. There are so many other decluttering channels with more subscribers who are not nearly as good as you. If we all share your channel with friends, we can help you reach the next level so you can get more revenue to make more content like your decluttering with friends videos. 100% my favorite and you do them so well. There are so many channels with people doing videos of themselves decluttering but it's so refreshing to see you help real people who struggle with too much stuff. It's more relatable. Thanks for inspiring videos and keeping it real. I'm going to tell my friends to subscribe to you.
thank you sooo much!! and thank you for sharing my channel too!! i think i need to start experimenting with new content i think thats the only way for things to grow faster with the algorithm...otherwise its slow and steady over here which i'm ok with. i feel lucky to have every single one of the 55k people here you included so thank u for watching commenting sharing... it already allows me to do this!!😱🥰🥳
Agreed that we need to get you to 100k! I find your content very unique. I think the Declutter with Friends series is so great so keep that coming! I also like when you talk through your own purges, and your days in the life. Ok I like it all 😂
This was really motivating thanks. Im not a tidy person i stuggle so much with it. Im always in awe that you can just chuck all rubbish in one bag?!! Do you guys just have one bin?? Dont you have to recycle?? We have bins for paper plastic glass metal textiles cardboard food waste and garden waste. You cant just put it all in one bin in the uk. Takes up a lot of time but i cant even remember a time now where this wasnt a thing. Im off to try and sort out my home now after youve given me some motivation. Thanks
The music in this video is so stylish and so empowering, I just can't! ❤ And I really NEEDED to hear that it's okay to have your ups and downs - in terms of cleaning (and basically everything, cause currently I'm in my "downs" period but I know it'll get better). Thank you for sharing, for being so relatable, so true - and ofc so beautiful! Sending lots of love ❤❤❤
I love so much that you show us when you have these times when things get out of hand. Since decluttering most of my house, I do better but also still have the same happen. Why? I don't know for sure but some days I just don't want to be "tidy." Some days I hate the word tidy - ha! The free-spirit-me just rebels once in a while and I go into denial. I'm pretty sure I need to confess this to my therapist 🙃😬🙄🤪
I just discovered this channel and in my mind Carla is a friend I never knew sans any creepiness in saying so. 😂 Carla girl, we just appreciate that you feel real.. No pretense at all, and I am definitely motivated to clean amongst other lifestyle changes.
Okay. I just noticed something new. Im now in the habit of emptying all the items in a space to declutter. I got this from watching you so regularly. Thanks. BTW, I love when Samson wiggles his tail. I had a Siamese named Tyi Lou who had a tail shaped like the number 7 after an accident (before we got her) and she would wag that 7 when she was happy. Lol
this is my house...but worse!! i like that you do small motivations...it gets me feeling that i did accomplish something. i am handicapped so dishes and making one counter clean will tire me out...but there is your small motivation..i will rest for an hour then try to do more small things i n the kitech--maybe even another counter!
Great work Carla- looks fab! Just an idea but is it worth reducing your inventory further so you find it easier to keep things tidy? Eg fewer glasses , pans and bowls in the kitchen so dishes can’t pile up. You could even ditch the clothes rack in your bedroom and just use your walk in wardrobe. Just a suggestion. Great cleaning!
I don’t know hmmm. Maybe. I do think I have a very low clutter threshold because I just don’t like to manage much and can easily get overwhelmed. But I don’t think the solution is decluttering more I think because I have moved out pieces of furniture that I haven’t replaced. There are a lot of unhoused items that need a place to live and some other changes I need to put in place that will make it easier for me to keep it tidy. I’ll keep sharing my journey, though. I have a plan I just have to put it in action❤️
Great Video! You always inspire me. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Watching you zoom thru all this is like being there and wanting to help!!! I am coming to terms with good enough for today, and leaving some for tomorrow, also. But taking some time for yourself is important too!!
There is nothing like a deep clean and the adrenaline rush you get just gives you more energy! The hard part, for me, is starting. You are such an inspiration, Carla! Don’t forget that huge garage clean out you did in North Carolina (I think his name was Brad?) - What a long day of hard work. No wonder you were feeling pooped when you got home! Everything in due time, my friend. ❤
yes!! i think the exhaustion from the trip hit me later. i was on adrenaline that whole week burning the candle at both ends..after that epic garage clean out we did a dinner party that night! those declutters w friends are so fun for me and give me a lot of energy but then yeah i think it all caught up with me when i got to my home cocoon! 😅😄❤️
I love your apartment Carla. Your bedroom with the massive windows and the privacy from the tree outside gives me cozy treehouse vibes.🌻I would buy an armoire for your bedroom only because I don't like visual clutter. I always take awhile to get back into the groove of my daily routine after a holiday. I call it "The Blahs"
You are one of my fav TH-camrs - it's eery how similar our lives are (at least from what I see on here!) my place can go from cluttered to deep cleaned back to cluttered in a week. Your style is similar to mine too. I'm in the market for a new couch - where'd you get yours? I assume it's out of my budget, but I absolutely love it!
I don’t know if it was the music, your tone of voice, or the speed at which you clean, but that was a great video. I found myself very invested in seeing your home clean.Haha
Hahah the best compliment thank you!!💗💗
I feel the same way 😊
Same!
Yes when I started looking at her vids.i found out she has good music in background it did not over stimulate my brain and her home is very down to earth comfy and realistic
Me three! 😂
Samson is the best helper!! His little face is so sweet and he looks so happy getting to supervise everything!
I know! He really is the cutest baby boy. I love him so much just looking at his face makes me smile and laugh all the time 😂💗
@@TheCarlaProjectI just love him! He’s so sweet! ❤
My new mantra is going to be, "the to do list will never be fully done." I really needed to be reminded of that. Thank you Carla for today's video of inspiration. ❤
Yes!! I’m allowing myself to live in deep acceptance with unsolved problems and the undone to do list. Bc that’s life and I don’t know why I ever thought it was gonna be a different way lol 😂
My favorite quote of hers is "one piece at a time"♥️
It is like laundry. When you get it done and take a shower you have more dirty clothes😂

This! 💯
I love when you clean your Appartment. It's so satisfying!
great choice of music (in so many of your videos). Having a clean, mess-free house is such a great feeling.
Love watching cleaning motivation videos when there is actual mess, so satisfying 😌

Found it in your description. Signed up 💜
I admire how you keep it real. My place can be sooo clean and before I know it my laziness finds a BIG mess. ❤ thanks!
Girl, and it doesn’t take long for that mess to happen. Can go from mega clean to hot mess real quick 😂
I totally agree. Of course I c o u l d clean the dishes, put away the microwave, but ....
There' s always s a but. I also know only two stages in my apartment: super tidy / super chaos 😂

Great job!
The before and after was incredible!
✨
I like that you show real life happens and things are not perfect all the time! I so need to do the same for my entire home! I don’t have a handsome supervisor like yours. But I do have 3 judgmental cats lol 😼. Thank you for the inspiration!
😂😂 I think those cats are going to help you a lot. The judgment alone!!
This was so satisfying you did a fabulous re-set. Love your channel & Samson is such a good 🐕🦺❤ have a great day lol 😘🌺💐
Thank you! You too sharon❤️!
I just had an “Aha” moment. Every time I watch one of these “cleaning my messy room” type of videos, I’m always surprised when they grab a Target bag and start gathering all of the trash that is laying around. Since I already have a trash can in EVERY room, I realized that I NEVER have to do this.🙌🏻 Most people think of having a big trash can in the kitchen and a little one in the bathroom and that’s it. (So if you’re tired or feeling lazy,it just stays on the coffee table.) So….get a couple of Dollar store,plastic trash cans,line them with Target bags,then put them inside something decorative and attractive like a larger wicker basket and then put them in EVERY room!
Love watching you getting your place back together. Thanks for sharing. 💕💕
Thanks for watching!💕💕
Always love to see a new Carla project. Feels like spending time with a friend from time to time.
Two Carla videos in a week! This was good inspo for me to work on my office space. My unpacking journey has been sllllloooooowwww this summer w all of my other responsibilities. My desk surface needs some attention!
You did an amazing job and I’m sure you feel so amazing in your space now. I’m influenced to do a deep clean of my bathroom and bedroom ❤
Yesss feels fantastic 10 out of 10 recommend!!💗
I've been feeling in a slump, so I used your motivation and reset my kitchen. It worked wonderfully. Love your calming voice and music you use in your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
Feels great, right! So happy you did that and that my video helped! Thanks, Kathy😍
Thank you for keeping it SO real. I always wondered what’s wrong with me that once I clean up, my space can’t stay pristine. I know now that it’s not realistic. We live in our spaces and they get messy🥰 great video as usual and manager Samson is the best💕🐾🐾🐾
Thank you so much for your videos! First of all, I am happy to have found your page as a 30+ WOC. I love that you show your reality and don’t sugarcoat it. Cause sometimes it be like that. I had a suitcase I didn’t fully unpack for 6 months! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Ha ha thank you so much for sharing that! You don’t even know how many people can relate to that unpacked suitcase that just sits there and sits there 😂❤️
I really needed this! You did a great job and it is so true that our homes have an effect on our mood! ❤
I use to clean houses on the side and everything in my house fell through the cracks. You do such as awesome job on everyone else’s home I can understand getting behind on yours. It looks great
Yes, yes and it’s just part of life. I don’t know that I’ll ever be someone who always has a clean house 24 seven 😂
The cleaning of that table was so satisfying
Thank you so much! I finally cleared off my arts and craft table that was long overdue. It took me like three hours but it’s done!!’
So satisfying! I didn't know you had a balcony...comes in handy drying the rug. I recently organized a corner cabinet that has a shelf. Very hard to get down on hands and knees....but everything now has a place. I keep opening the cabinet door and peeking. Thanks for motivating!
Thank you for sharing your "reset" with us. Now I don't feel só bad about my situation. I mostly procrastinate, but your industriousness is an inspiration. Have a good day and take care, 🙋🏼♂️.
You are so welcome!
This was one of the most satisfying videos to watch by you (they are all great) but not only was it motivating me, but I think it’s the first time I watched your video and got up mid-way and started cleaning while I let it play in the background and then sat down and replayed it after 😊
Such a good video Carla. Thanks for the inspo, I needed it badly. I have been trying to sort out and declutter my bedroom and I can only do it in bursts...it gets overwhelming quickly. I enjoyed seeing you take breaks. It's unrealistic that we can do everything in a short space of time.
Yeah, it’s totally unrealistic to think you can do it all in a day. Especially when you’re in decluttering cleaning, organizing all in one. Gotta take breaks for food. Got to take out Samson got a rest in between handle calls or emails work stuff etc… you’ll get there and it will feel amazing though with your bedroom❤️
I'm so glad you knew when you had to take a break and then did it! I know exactly how important it is to pace yourself, especially when it comes to big jobs like this was. Great job at the end - oh, it was deeply satisfying just watching the video to see the transformation as you've gone along.
Thank you! You are so right about pacing yourself. In the past, I would’ve tried to push through and then I would’ve made myself feel awful or have a headache at the end!💗
That was fantastic. You have been so busy, it is good to take time out to just be and rest Your place looks wonderful. Cuddles to our handsome Samson 🌺🌺🌺
So cozy! Love seeing handsome Samson 🥰
Just wanted to say I love your channel and Samson is a plus. I am also a single woman in My forties living life with my dog trying to do the best I can in this crazy world of ours Thank you for being real.
Hey Carla, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and your videos. I watch way too many decluttering videos and you are one of my favorites! That said, I think we need to have a push to get you to 100k subscribers. You have a lot of people watching your content and even more people commenting. There are so many other decluttering channels with more subscribers who are not nearly as good as you. If we all share your channel with friends, we can help you reach the next level so you can get more revenue to make more content like your decluttering with friends videos. 100% my favorite and you do them so well. There are so many channels with people doing videos of themselves decluttering but it's so refreshing to see you help real people who struggle with too much stuff. It's more relatable. Thanks for inspiring videos and keeping it real. I'm going to tell my friends to subscribe to you.
thank you sooo much!! and thank you for sharing my channel too!! i think i need to start experimenting with new content i think thats the only way for things to grow faster with the algorithm...otherwise its slow and steady over here which i'm ok with. i feel lucky to have every single one of the 55k people here you included so thank u for watching commenting sharing... it already allows me to do this!!😱🥰🥳
Agreed that we need to get you to 100k! I find your content very unique. I think the Declutter with Friends series is so great so keep that coming! I also like when you talk through your own purges, and your days in the life. Ok I like it all 😂
Love keeping you company❤ A pleasure it is!
Same here!❤️
I'm pretty sure you're my new favorite person on TH-cam. Loving your chill vibe and organizing and declutter tips. You've helped me a lot!
Wow, thank you!❤️❤️
Thanks Carla!! Good job! I love your parting advice. Must keep it in mind. Samson is the sweetest. Just wish I could give him a big hug!
This was so peaceful, but yet so inspiring! I feel very motivated after watching this!
This was really motivating thanks. Im not a tidy person i stuggle so much with it. Im always in awe that you can just chuck all rubbish in one bag?!! Do you guys just have one bin?? Dont you have to recycle?? We have bins for paper plastic glass metal textiles cardboard food waste and garden waste. You cant just put it all in one bin in the uk. Takes up a lot of time but i cant even remember a time now where this wasnt a thing.
Im off to try and sort out my home now after youve given me some motivation. Thanks
Dear Carla, thank you for helping me start my day on the right foot❤ your kitchen looks beautiful, like magazine worthy
Awww ur too kind!!❤️❤️❤️
Everything already said, especially the calming music as I was cleaning my own space. I especially liked the last melody at the end.
The music in this video is so stylish and so empowering, I just can't! ❤ And I really NEEDED to hear that it's okay to have your ups and downs - in terms of cleaning (and basically everything, cause currently I'm in my "downs" period but I know it'll get better). Thank you for sharing, for being so relatable, so true - and ofc so beautiful! Sending lots of love ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️
You make the best 'clean with me' videos, because you have real messed, not cleaning an already immaculate home.
I love so much that you show us when you have these times when things get out of hand. Since decluttering most of my house, I do better but also still have the same happen. Why? I don't know for sure but some days I just don't want to be "tidy." Some days I hate the word tidy - ha! The free-spirit-me just rebels once in a while and I go into denial. I'm pretty sure I need to confess this to my therapist 🙃😬🙄🤪
20 min mark so good!! Amen to that. Got so much done cleaning with you in 30 min that I had been putting off forever!
I just discovered this channel and in my mind Carla is a friend I never knew sans any creepiness in saying so. 😂 Carla girl, we just appreciate that you feel real.. No pretense at all, and I am definitely motivated to clean amongst other lifestyle changes.
Hahah thank you!!❤️
Okay. I just noticed something new. Im now in the habit of emptying all the items in a space to declutter. I got this from watching you so regularly. Thanks. BTW, I love when Samson wiggles his tail. I had a Siamese named Tyi Lou who had a tail shaped like the number 7 after an accident (before we got her) and she would wag that 7 when she was happy. Lol
This was so satisfying and motivating to watch! I love the nice touch of the fresh flowers at the end :)
Yes! Fresh flowers will always motivate me to clean !! 🌸
this is my house...but worse!! i like that you do small motivations...it gets me feeling that i did accomplish something. i am handicapped so dishes and making one counter clean will tire me out...but there is your small motivation..i will rest for an hour then try to do more small things i n the kitech--maybe even another counter!
Great work Carla- looks fab! Just an idea but is it worth reducing your inventory further so you find it easier to keep things tidy? Eg fewer glasses , pans and bowls in the kitchen so dishes can’t pile up. You could even ditch the clothes rack in your bedroom and just use your walk in wardrobe. Just a suggestion. Great cleaning!
I don’t know hmmm. Maybe. I do think I have a very low clutter threshold because I just don’t like to manage much and can easily get overwhelmed. But I don’t think the solution is decluttering more I think because I have moved out pieces of furniture that I haven’t replaced. There are a lot of unhoused items that need a place to live and some other changes I need to put in place that will make it easier for me to keep it tidy. I’ll keep sharing my journey, though. I have a plan I just have to put it in action❤️
I can’t wait to follow along with the plan- good luck and thanks for replying x
Great Video! You always inspire me. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Watching you zoom thru all this is like being there and wanting to help!!! I am coming to terms with good enough for today, and leaving some for tomorrow, also. But taking some time for yourself is important too!!
Love that!
There is nothing like a deep clean and the adrenaline rush you get just gives you more energy! The hard part, for me, is starting. You are such an inspiration, Carla! Don’t forget that huge garage clean out you did in North Carolina (I think his name was Brad?) - What a long day of hard work. No wonder you were feeling pooped when you got home! Everything in due time, my friend. ❤
yes!! i think the exhaustion from the trip hit me later. i was on adrenaline that whole week burning the candle at both ends..after that epic garage clean out we did a dinner party that night! those declutters w friends are so fun for me and give me a lot of energy but then yeah i think it all caught up with me when i got to my home cocoon! 😅😄❤️
You are nothing but an inspiration and love how you share your area too. You are human like us. ❤😊
I love your soundtrack for this vid. Can you please share song titles & artists? Please and thank you. 🙏💕
Wow! More great inspiration! You go girl! It looks awesome! Kudos to you Carla!
Well done Carla, great soundtrack too!
Thanks love!!
Excellent work Carla!!!! I'm very proud of you and thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much!🥰
I love the music you play while you're cleaning: "Run Away" 🤣
Another amazing, inspiring, helpful, & relaxing video 👏❤🎉😊🌻
I do like the "new" couch in that space. Good choice.
such a pretty light-filled space
Love your spacious apt.
You did a great job.
Looks so fresh and clean
My favorite kind of carla-content🤩
I love your apartment Carla. Your bedroom with the massive windows and the privacy from the tree outside gives me cozy treehouse vibes.🌻I would buy an armoire for your bedroom only because I don't like visual clutter. I always take awhile to get back into the groove of my daily routine after a holiday. I call it "The Blahs"
Omigosh I love your place! All your pieces are unique and random but comes together so beautifully! So warm and welcoming.
Thank you so much!!!
This was really inspirational!! I would have been overwhelmed-you tackled it with such grace!! You have a beautiful home!
Newly subscribed!!
Glad you liked it!! Thank you 💗💗
REALITY 101! Thank you once again for the motivation.
This has given me the motivation I needed to clean my own place!
I really, really, really enjoy your channel. I love the way you clean and it's so relaxing to watch you.
Thank you so much!🥰❤️
Kitchen looks better than ever! Great job, Karla!
Thanks so much! 😊
You are one of my fav TH-camrs - it's eery how similar our lives are (at least from what I see on here!) my place can go from cluttered to deep cleaned back to cluttered in a week. Your style is similar to mine too. I'm in the market for a new couch - where'd you get yours? I assume it's out of my budget, but I absolutely love it!
It’s from interior define. I don’t recommend them though! CB2 might have some thing comparable:)
Carla. I love you. You are so inspiring. Thank you for being so open
Thank you so much!🥰
