I prefer relistic. We get bombarded with enough unrealistic expectations in life. I like knowing that I'm not alone, and what life really looks like for others. So, thank you for being you!
Right?! When I see those I'm like, "Does she have to consider keeping this perfect rainbow look when she's grocery shopping? That would be so impossible and impractical. As if figuring out what's for dinner every night of your life isn't already a struggle enough."
I was actually telling myself I needed to go to the store and get another under the sink organizer for our downstairs bathroom, we moved our daughters hair stuff downstairs to make getting ready for school easier. Yesterday I ended up reorganizing under my sink and found out I didn’t need the one I had because what I had fit perfect into little baskets we already had. Felt so good to have both bathrooms reorganized without spending a dime, even managed to free up 2 smaller containers 😅 📦
I like to see both the sparkly “Pinterest worthy”/ satisfaction of a job well done feeling after and a lived in after for what reality living with it really looks like.
I love the realistic before and after approach. It makes it so much easier to get started on your own project when you aren't crippled by the perceived perfection of others. Thanks for keeping it real 😊
I DO enjoy Pinterest worthy spaces, however, I will always defer to function, when needed…. Which I must admit is often! You did a terrific job on your new closet! -I wish you an abundance of love, laughter, peace, joy and the making of great memories in your lovely new home!
Always prefer real-life “afters”-I’ve seen so many beautiful Pinterest-worthy afters that are obviously not functional. Thanks for sharing with us! Congrats on your new home!
Definitely enjoy the “lived in” and realistic afters! It helps to know that what was done actually works in everyday life. I have done some decluttering and organizing in my home as well lately, thanks to your inspiration.😁😊
You are such a breath of fresh air! I love how grateful you are for everything you and your husband have worked hard to achieve. And I also admire how loving and respectful you are towards each other. Thank you for being you!!
I started decluttering my wardrobe after watching your video. And now my room looks like it was hit by a tornado :) No regrets though. Thank you so much for giving me the motivation to stop procrastating and take the first step. I've been watching your channels for over 3 years now. You are so much grown up than I am, even though I am 5 years older than you. I learn so much from you. Thanks. Here is a traditional emoji to protect your family from evil eyes and bring you good luck. 🧿 Love from turkey. 🇹🇷
I love when you said " sometimes its not that theres a bad habit but there's not a good solution to the problem" . That put alot of things into perspective for me.
Nat, we are a fam minimalist and since we switched from towels to bathrobes for each of the members of our family laundry is amazing! Fam of 5 here too, all boys and mamma bear 😋 unless they are mega mega dirty we use the robes from monday to sun and wash them once a week on sundays, and if we need an extra towel we grab on from our pool or guess towels we have. Since we use the bathrobes after we come out of the shower and by then we are clean and smelling nice and fresh, we dont see the point in using a towel a day. In case you want to try this for your family of 5 too! 😊 have an amazing week and thanks for sharing real life functional stuff!! 😘
I love that you keep it real. Pinterest perfection is a myth and your closet organization videos give motivation and inspire others to make some closet progress of our own - thank you Natalie!
Love the before and after lived in type of content. Love the real life. Also I appreciate your content a little more these days since I am also in the process of moving, packing and reorganizing/adjusting to a new place
My husband probably has three times the amount clothes I have! He basically has two sets of work cloths, when he’s in the office he wears business attire and when he’s in the field he wears work cloths. And then he also has winter work gear and rain work gear! So many clothes but not his fault! But since we have simplified the rest of our house the mass of needed clothes doesn’t bother me! Prop’s to my husband, he has gotten really good at getting ride of old clothes that he doesn’t like,want or need!!! 😉 Enjoy your new closet!
📦The real work of moving comes when you are learning all about your new space and how to best live in it. I love that you are flexible enough to switch dressers and create more hanging space for your husband. Sharing is never about 50/50, it's about meeting at the spot where everyone's needs are met. I used to explain to my middle school students that being "fair" meant equitable not equal. Love your new place and watching the story unfold.
Just found you guys and started watching. Wow I love the look of the wooden hangers! The whole one top shelf is wide open. That's amazing. I think I'd be adding a pretty framed photo or art piece to look at in there.
Hi from Arizona! Love the idea of the hanging shoe organizer for hats! My husband also has double the clothes, shoes, hats than I do! Thanks for the realistic closet organization ideas!
I enjoy realistic. There is enough of the perfect ideas which are realistically unattainable. Your new house is so pretty and the land and views are amazing. A perfect forever home.
It's so great that you had a minimal series in the other house, needing to make things fit more snuggly, now you have completely new material for people who are trying to resist filling their space. Nice!
What great advice. It is sooo tempting to get all new furniture, linens, decor, storage items, etc when moving to a new space. I love "If it was good enough to work in our old house, we can make it work here, too" :)
Natalie you never have to apologize for any choices you make in your videos such as splurging for wooden hangers or your white walls. You’re so kind to share your life with us. I LOVE how you organize. You think a lot like me so I get it. I love all the tiny reasons for this or that. I’m very neat and particular so I’m glad I’m not alone. I love how you reason out why something should go where you put it. I am so looking forward to seeing you organize your new home. Thank you again for sharing. ❤️ 🏠
No apologies here! I do know that many of my viewers enjoy hearing my thoughts and feelings behind the choices that I make! Thank you so much for the encouragement.
SO SO appreciate the real life before and afters and journeys. Like really do! It's refreshing and like a tonic for how much I consume on a regular basis!
I would hope that most of your followers are not into "Pinterest worthy" props. I sure am not! I could care less about that which is why I love your content so much! I love how you keep it real here. I love how your closet turned out. And, you don't have to justify or explain yourself to anyone. Being minimalist is all relative. Your space is absolutely perfect for you and your family :)
@@dianasimplifies I have an account but I do not go on it anymore unless I want to look up a recipe. I don't care for the Pinterest look bc it is not real life.
It’s only life, if you see exactly how things are…..lived in. No one wants a “Pinterest” world. Love that you show just how things are and that life brings chaos and cluster sometimes👊🏻
The wood hangers look awesome! I always hear that velvet is the way to go because they’re slim and then you can fit more items in your closet, but your closet is future goals - to declutter enough, only keeping what I actually wear and love, and then having the option of wooden hangers.
Nailed it! Really evaluate what you need or what works for you and your family first. Then stand in that decision that works for you. I love that Natalie!
Girl every time you post an organize/ declutering video I always get in the mood to decluter. I walk around my house and think I'm sure there's something I can get rid of that I don't use. You rock! Love the new hangers ! Love your keeping it real style. So excited for the pantry video. 😃😃
Hi! I’m in the process of packing “keepers” up for the first trip to Texas at Thanksgiving - furniture, decor’, kitchen dishes & appliances, etc. (a full u-haul trailer load our son will drop off on his way back to Alabama). That will pretty much leave just paperwork, safe(s), and tools for the second load in early spring when house finally goes on the market. In the meantime we will be living with the 75% of items left that will be going on auction then. Will be so much easier working around less. We are downsizing from a 3-4 bedroom house to about 500 sq ft in a portion of our daughter’s new home due to health issues. Definitely ready for the change.
As much as I love the Pinterest worrthy shiny afters, I do love something about the lived in afters that shows how the orgainsation system is working for that person! Love from England! ❤️📦
Thank you for all of your sweet videos! Your joy filled life is a blessing to watch every week 💞 Also, seeing how small your jewelry collection is was an inspiration - I would love to see a video highlighting your jewelry collection!
I spy Beyoncé heat perfume. Love the musky/vanilla-y scent. Forever one of my favorites! Congrats on the new house, and excited to see what all you guys have in store for the space and land 🥰
My husband is the same way when it comes to clothes and needing to have separate work clothes as well, and I had to get to the point where it doesn’t bother me that he has more clothes than I do or that I would like him to have. I always thought he was against me when it came to simplifying our life, but really what is minimal for him is just different than what is minimal for me. Either way, it goes much better when you work with people and their needs rather than against them.
Your videos have brought me so much joy in the past few months since I found your channel. You constantly remind me to be grateful for everything I have, and that makes me- grateful- for your channel! Thank you for your wonderful outlook and content!
I enjoy the realistic "after." Unrealistic expectations steal your joy! Love the way you set up your new closet - I can only imagine your excitement!! P.S. Try using lemon essential oil to get the sticky residue off of your dresser. Works like a charm every time :)
This is great. A real inspiration. Thank you for sharing. I think the only thing I'd add other than your little shelves would be a mirror somewhere so you can get changed in there and check out how you look! :) Fantastic job.
I prefer relistic. We get bombarded with enough unrealistic expectations in life. I like knowing that I'm not alone, and what life really looks like for others. So, thank you for being you!
Yes! Love that my sis recommended this channel 😊
@@dawnforlife it is one of my favorite channels!
Love: "Sometimes it's not that there's a bad habit, but that there's not a good solution."
Totally agree. This was my situation in my small 2 bed apartment. Now I do not have that a lot of those issues since I have my house.
A mirror above your dresser with the little shelves would be so cute!
That is such a good idea!!!
Great idea
I feel like a new person every time I organize and declutter my closet! LOVE LOVE LOVE this type of content 🧡🙌🏻
📦 I love the realistic before and after. 99% of the Pinterest worthy afters are not “livable” situations. Keep up the great work and inspiration!!! ❤️

Natalie!! I’m always so motivated by you! You’re so inspiring and of course the closet looks fab!
❤️
Awww you’re so sweet, Kim! ❤️❤️❤️
I cannot wait to see Kims vlogs from her new home!!! I was so excited we she announced it ❤️

I really appreciate the real life you share. Pinterest spaces are a nice dream but rarely remain the reality.
I DO enjoy Pinterest worthy spaces, however, I will always defer to function, when needed…. Which I must admit is often!
You did a terrific job on your new closet! -I wish you an abundance of love, laughter, peace, joy and the making of great memories in your lovely new home!
Favorite quote..."Sometimes, it's not always a bad habit, but not having a good solution for the habit" Love that ❤
Using the shoe hanging shelves for his caps is a great idea.
Closets, pantry's and utility rooms..so jealous of big American houses! Great job Natalie xx
Real life is always my preference! It allows for ideas without the false idea of perfection. Lovely closet!
So much less intimidating too! 😍
Always prefer real-life “afters”-I’ve seen so many beautiful Pinterest-worthy afters that are obviously not functional. Thanks for sharing with us! Congrats on your new home!
I love the real life you show. This is why I keep watching 🥰
Family of 5 here and We are moving in a couple weeks. I am living for your newest videos! Thanks for the real life content 💕
Definitely enjoy the “lived in” and realistic afters! It helps to know that what was done actually works in everyday life. I have done some decluttering and organizing in my home as well lately, thanks to your inspiration.😁😊
A blanket box inside a window seat could work for linen - and give you somewhere to sit and view that beautiful property with a cup of tea.
I'm working to get all the plastic out of my home. I'm using wicker baskets and wooden coathangers now as well. Great job!
You are such a breath of fresh air! I love how grateful you are for everything you and your husband have worked hard to achieve. And I also admire how loving and respectful you are towards each other. Thank you for being you!!
Finally is somebody being real! Thank you for breaking the pinterest perfection rules, and still doing such a beautiful work ❤

I like to see what works functionally not just what looks good (unused). Great job on the video. I enjoyed it,

Creative thinking, Marci! I switched from bath towels to hand towels for drying off. Hubby still uses bath towels.
I’m thinking of putting my dresser in closet too🤔. I love how your closet turned out! Great job👍🏻👏🏻
I got rid of 75% of my clothes. Bought wooden hangers and love them! Took ideas from your closet declutter in your previous home. Thank you.
Real life before and after all the way!!!
Keep more coming! Love taking this journey with you!! ❤️
One of the best things about your channel is that it is real
I'm just smiling with you and loving you sharing the joy!
No, I prefer the reality you have shown!! It is GREAT! I may order those hangers!! 😊

Great work! Love the empty space at the top of the closet, makes it seem really spacious when there’s not a lot above eye level. 📦
Real life moments are the best - it normalizes our goals and makes them more attainable . Thanks for your videos!!
Thats exactly how I feel with my new closet. No new stuff. Just organizing what I have. I dont need more. 🥰🥳
My husband probably has three times the amount clothes I have! He basically has two sets of work cloths, when he’s in the office he wears business attire and when he’s in the field he wears work cloths.
And then he also has winter work gear and rain work gear! So many clothes but not his fault!

Same!!
Those hangers just bring your closet together Perfectly 😊
😂 when you were talking at the beginning I was thinking, but won't you need more hangers?
It’s so great you have found so many items to repurpose! Your closet looks great
📦The real work of moving comes when you are learning all about your new space and how to best live in it.

Thanks natalie for sharing real life with us. I would rather watch real honest people than always the highlight reels.
How cute is that mug.
📦 Excited to see y’all making this new house your forever home!

Enjoying all the videos in the new house 📦
📦 😊 Great video. Love those hangers. I use the white wood hangers from Ikea and prefer the wooden ones.
Keep it real so we can relate. Looking forward to more unpacking and organizing videos!
Your closet looks great!! I love how down to earth you are, in reusing what you have, rather than running out to buy new stuff!!
Hi Natalie, the wooden hangers look great in your closet tempted to change mine now. 🤔 have a great day.
We also put our drawers in our bedroom to make more room in the closet. It looks great though!
Love the realistic views and discussion!
The wood hangers look awesome! I always hear that velvet is the way to go because they’re slim and then you can fit more items in your closet, but your closet is future goals - to declutter enough, only keeping what I actually wear and love, and then having the option of wooden hangers.
Hi Natalie! This video reminded me that I need to organize and tidy my closet. I hope you have a lovely day! Ciao.
I'm with you on the velvet hangers. I bought wooden hangers. I love how they make my closet feel like a boutique. 👍
Yes! It’s so difficult to hang each item on them. It takes too much time to hang each shirt.
I love your videos and the music you use, especially in the intro. Greetings from Mexico!
Here you go inspiring me to organize yet again! ❤️
Nailed it! Really evaluate what you need or what works for you and your family first. Then stand in that decision that works for you. I love that Natalie!
I appreciate you in real life clips that you do it’s just so much more realistic!
I can watch for whole an hour any video related to closets 🤗🤭😜

Yes! Real life after! Appreciated!
📦yeah more messy to minimals! You are glowing with joy.
This is a well thought out decluttering project. I especially appreciate how you repurposed bins and did not spend alot of money. I love the video.💖
Have been looking forward to sitting down (by myself!) to watch this ALL DAY. Your videos help me to get through wild Monday’s with my boys 🤣 💕
I love “real” and the difference the hangers made is worth the investment!
Yes, hangers. I was going to tell you that! 😃
