That SkillShare segment had me thinking that you would be incredibly successful doing voiceover work. Your voice is very soothing…Something to think about! 😀😀😀
Tips for moving necklaces to prevent jewelry tangling-also works for traveling in suitcases. For thin chains just drop the chain thru a plastic straw and fasten. Even if it has a small hanging piece leave it on . For necklaces with medium to large pieces just put them thru an empty papertowel cylinder or bracelets thru toilet paper cylinder, cut to fit. Then put these tubes into zippered travel cubes. Nothing gets hooked up and caught on each other. Great for travel or moving. If they do just put tubes between undies in undies cube.
If you have tshirts that bring you happy memories, then you might want to look up a DIY for turning tshirts into quilts. I have been doing that with mine so I came save the shirts that carry happy memories for me. 16 years of charity work added up to a lot of tshirts alone, but I earned each one so I wanted to save them. 🧵👕 Also the scrap materials make good rags and other uses. 😉
I'm the opposite! I used to ball socks, now I fold. I used to keep all of my t-shirts, jeans, etc. on hangers, but now I fold things unless they are really nice tops/sweaters. Guess I just really like folding lol? The closet looks lovely, and that wallpaper has great personality!
I started my own home business of home organizing and event planning this year. I also have been reorganizing my closet, slowly. I like the idea of making walk in closets feel like dressing rooms where you have everything you need in one room vs having to go all around a master bedroom to get dressed. Socks and underwear in a night stand, clothes hanging in the closet, but more clothes in a dresser outside the closet, etc. So for my space I have tried to bring everything into my closet and even make a seating area to be able to sit down when putting on tights or shoes. It is still a work in progress, but I am liking it more and more as I get things cleaned up. Thanks for sharing your work in progress. 👍
This video motivated me to up my organising game in my wardrobe. Wrapping necklaces individually in paper towels is genius (and I should know, for I am a jewellery addict). On rather unrelated note, I love your lip gloss/lipstick in this video
Hey! Bless that all is well with you and the new home! Am missing your uploads but am patient! Thank you for the daily motivation. Have been watching past videos while I wait! Thank you again!
To transport jewelry, use a toilet paper roll or paper towel one cut to size. To put more than one necklace on a roll, sort by length, then put a notch at either end to help separate them and then just loop the necklace through. Then wrap them in a towel to keep them clean and safe.
I roll my socks, I put the two matching together and roll them up like a Swiss roll, store them up and down in a storage bin :) Keeps the elastic from stretching and the pairs together. Your closet is beautiful!
Wow, what a great space. Very pleasing to see the folding in the drawers :-) :-) That wallpaper is great too, really cheerful. I was thinking a slimline fold-up bar stool like the Ikea Franklin would be a neat addition for when you are doing your make-up. Am sure it could slide down one side after use, or hang on a Command hook, maybe? Am so impressed at the amount you have done already in your lovely new home! Just Fab :-) x
Oh my gosh! I’ve always hung my cloths by color. But I remember reading somewhere that we should hang all the short sleeves together then the long sleeves together. But I can’t. Lol
Beautiful! I always fold socks and organize by length and color! BUT I stack short (exercise or no-show) socks because those are too hard to fold. Not to be sad but my 5 pound fur baby Biskit crossed the rainbow bridge in March, and it just made me so happy to see your Clover baby. He’s gonna be okies. 🥰❤️
First - you are looking extra lovely today. Second love your comment in your title- Dwelling mindfully- it truly speaks to me. I have always lived mindfully, or at least tried to. It does truly bring joy.
I've seen the last 3 places you've lived in and I think this one is my favorite! I would love to have a closet all to myself! We have a walk-in but I have one side and my hubby has the other. I also house my handbags on the shelfs so that's how I make the space seem more like all mine!! Looking forward to all the fun projects to have planned. Congratulations again on your new home!!!
I've kept all our shoes by the door for years and I love it. We also take our shoes off in the house, which way reduces tracking in dust, pollen and stuff. Socks, I'm a folder! I converted to that when I found it helped my socks last longer.
I finally got a set of ikea cloth drawer organizers for my underwear/ sock drawer this summer. It is such a game changer that I wish I had tried sooner. I never thought it would make that big of a difference but now I don’t have missing socks.
I've started to fold because 1 heard it lets them last longer (not quite sure on this), 2 it allows for more socks in my small draw (go through 1-2 pairs a day so find this beneficial)
First, I love your hair! 💜 Second, I'm loving that closet arrangement! For all my dresser clothes, save for underwear/bras, I roll everything, and by color; it gives me more space, and things get less-wrinkled. I've managed to reuse certain pieces of box packaging from deliveries, as drawer dividers, since I'm on a budget, so they work for now. 🤭 Are your shoe containers anti-moisture? I had things get ruined when I used plastic containers for shoes and clothing, but there was a mold problem in a former apartment I used to live in. 😣 I like your makeup organizer, too! I still have a retro Kaboodle case (Circ. 80s). It's like jamming all your makeup in a fishing tackle box. 😂🎣🐟 Thanks for the video!
I also have a Caboodle for my makeup. Love it! Have used it for years. A couple years ago I got another for our first aid kit. I save all the little moisture absorb packets that come in so many things. I put a couple in my plastic shoeboxes. The tiny ones I put in with seeds I am saving for my garden.
i would always ball my socks but i finally just tried the folding and i have to say, I like it sooo much better! my socks actually take up a lot less space and they just look so nice in the drawer lol
Love your closet! Isn't the wallpaper perfect? I have to paint my closets the color of the room or an accent color. My closet and pantry are painted navy. I smile every time I open the doors. I fold my socks. No right or wrong way. I agree that putting like colors together for clothes also makes it easier for me to choose my OOTD. I just arrange them light to dark. I'm happy to you settling in . Hopefully it will get easier for Clover. Precious boy!!!
Looks awesome!! Bet its so much fun for you, organizing your dream home!! ❣️ I have a sock drawer. I usually wear white ankle socks, so they are stacked...easy to put in and take out! Wow...cool mirror!! Sweet Clover....he will get used to the change. 🤗🌻
I fold socks. Some are very thick & don't want them to stretch out so they slide down to my ankles. Now living on WA state coast, colder than inland Seattle area, moved April 2020. Neighborhood bulldozed for warehouse, moved in with son but have a small bedroom and bathroom, he lives on other end of house.
How do you store your decor shelving and drawers when not using them? And when moving? I don’t feel like keeping the boxes they came in….but I feel like they’re so prone to marring the finish when they touch anything lol
Maybe i should try rolling/foldning my socks again🤔 i used to just lay them together and fold them in half but stopped when i moved from my parents because i got lazy so now i ball them again😅
I ball the majority of my socks! My short ankle socks are always balled together. My long socks lie flat in my drawer so that they’re easy to find (these include hiking socks and fuzzy socks). My running socks I fold bc they were expensive and I’m not about to ruin their elasticity 🤣
I just loved this video and love your closet!!! You do such a great job and have so many great ideas!! CLOVER is precious!!!! I just recently found your channel so please tell me where on TH-cam I can hear you sing!!!!
Kay, loved how the closet turned out. Existing wallpaper is perfect especially with the chest of drawers. And how nice it would be to not have anything on the closet floor. Lucky you! 😀 I hope Clover James (Bean) gets used his new home soon, too, transitioning can be tough on our pets as well. Since I’m a control freak, I was most stressed about the loose hanger under the drawers as you organized them. 😱😂 That’s me in a nutshell. 😳
I love how you did the closet I wish you could do mine I love pajamas loungewear and balling socks this was so enjoyable to watch take care and stay safe
Wow! That looks great. You’ve really downsized your clothing. I’m trying to get to a much smaller amount too. Thanks for sharing and loving how your house is coming along. Hugs to clover. Xx
my socks are all black with prints so i fold/roll them making sure the print is visible and place them in a sock organiser sitting on top of my draws, tshirts i do the same fold print side out and put in a draw
Happy you got your closet like you want it! The vanity is great. I do my socks just like you. I’ve tried clamping them together and folding over, but those did not work for me.
I love how you organized your closet...hubby and I just closed on a condo and I'm thinking of using the same ikea closet system. If you don't mind what is the size of the space
love!!!! will you be doing a home tour after you are settled in? I'm loving everything you've shown so far! and I roll my socks because folding seems like too much work for socks haha I have to much to do as it is!
Hello Kay, beautiful as always. I fold my socks, I find the elastic in the thinner socks fray more easily however my hubby rolls his socks which are more chunky. As you said there's no right or wrong. However I would like to ask, where would your interlopers go? I can take a guess but you have a better eye so I'll see what you do.
@@spiritjunkie1913 hello Spirit Junkie. They are clothes that perhaps you have worn once and wish not to put them in the wash just yet but at the same time you don't want to put them back in the main closet area. So instead you assign a separate location for these items which Kay referred to as the Interlopers in the past which I thought what she had put together was a great idea.
I throw all of my socks into one bin. No matching. I don't mind mismatched socks. My husband however, just owns a lot of the same socks so he can do the same thing but have them matched.
such a weird request -- but could you share where you got that low profile step stool from? I've been looking for one that could go under my kitchen counter but most are too tall when folded or too short to be useful (like those little single step ones)
I dream of someday having an actual closet organizing system but the house needs a lot of tending before then. Also the more I see of Clover the more I am reminded of my super affectionate boy cat.
I love the idea of having shoes stored in another closet great idea. Wonderful video.
That SkillShare segment had me thinking that you would be incredibly successful doing voiceover work. Your voice is very soothing…Something to think about! 😀😀😀
i think her voice is probably amazing, i mean she is a professional soprano
She has done some voiceover work. She mentioned it in a video.
Totally agree!

I fold socks, too. But I hang almost everything…mostly because I hate folding!
Love the end result. Everything has a place and the wallpaper is so cute! I roll my socks because it's easier and it looks cool lol
Great video! Let's get Kay to 100K!

I'm starting to question whether I watch your videos for the organizing or for the Clover cameos, lol.
The closet looks great, thanks for the video!
Thank you, thank you, great job. What can I say "Clover" is so adorable.
I roll my socks, I put the two matching together and roll them up like a Swiss roll, store them up and down in a storage bin :) Keeps the elastic from stretching and the pairs together. Your closet is beautiful!
I like how your vanity is in the closet. I love the cozy feel, I love openess too, but it feels warm and inviting.
I ball my socks..love the feeling of brand new socks..because my Wardrobe is small i fold my t_ shirts
Wow, what a great space. Very pleasing to see the folding in the drawers :-) :-) That wallpaper is great too, really cheerful.

I just started inserting one sock into the other. This is working so well for me 👍🏾
Very nice. I like how the closet turned out. Cool wallpaper as well.
Good afternoon Kay and Clover 🍀 James!
Fold 👩🏻🍳🤗
You have done a super job organizing your closet. Thanks for sharing. (Darci)
Bonnet recommendations please!

Yes. I hang all our t-shirts. I fold my socks because I knit socks and they can't be balled up. Lovely finished closet. 💕
I’m into the konmari folding, myself. I’ve decluttered so much, but still have a lot of socks and it saves so much space.
Your closet looks great! I liked that headboard as well.
First - you are looking extra lovely today. Second love your comment in your title- Dwelling mindfully- it truly speaks to me. I have always lived mindfully, or at least tried to. It does truly bring joy.
A new closet!!!!!!!!!
I've seen the last 3 places you've lived in and I think this one is my favorite! I would love to have a closet all to myself! We have a walk-in but I have one side and my hubby has the other.

Love love love it 💕 I need to streamline my closet and organize it. This gave me some great ideas
I love Chasing Paper, they are local business.
First, I love your hair! 💜
Second, I'm loving that closet arrangement!
For all my dresser clothes, save for underwear/bras, I roll everything, and by color; it gives me more space, and things get less-wrinkled.
I've managed to reuse certain pieces of box packaging from deliveries, as drawer dividers, since I'm on a budget, so they work for now. 🤭
Are your shoe containers anti-moisture? I had things get ruined when I used plastic containers for shoes and clothing, but there was a mold problem in a former apartment I used to live in. 😣
I like your makeup organizer, too! I still have a retro Kaboodle case (Circ. 80s). It's like jamming all your makeup in a fishing tackle box. 😂🎣🐟
Thanks for the video!
Caboodles OMG 😱 the shoe boxes aren’t really airtight so they breathe a bit!
I also use my Caboodle from the 90s! It's so nostalgic and still going strong, it's perfect for my makeup and hygiene products when I travel!
I also have a Caboodle for my makeup. Love it! Have used it for years. A couple years ago I got another for our first aid kit.
I save all the little moisture absorb packets that come in so many things. I put a couple in my plastic shoeboxes. The tiny ones I put in with seeds I am saving for my garden.
So satisfying 🙂👍🏼
You certainly got that closet all snapped into shape! I love the way the doors open to reveal everything within reach.
Nice job, dear. I have never used Elfa products but am considering them for a guest room closet in which I store my overflow.
Thanks for sharing love watching you make this home your own my pjs would take up the entire draw space 😂 I am obsessed
And to answer your other questions I don't keep shoes in my cupboard and I roll my socks into balls
Well done! Moving in two days !!!
Love what you did to your closet, looks terrific. I really like that wallpaper, its not what I would pick out but it looks great.
i would always ball my socks but i finally just tried the folding and i have to say, I like it sooo much better! my socks actually take up a lot less space and they just look so nice in the drawer lol
Always a whole organization after a move.
But you have experience.
Love your closet! Isn't the wallpaper perfect? I have to paint my closets the color of the room or an accent color. My closet and pantry are painted navy. I smile every time I open the doors.

Hello! I love how the finished closet space looks! It's a very cute and functional space.
Thank you for sharing.

Awesome. Hello Clover.
I love it! ❤ Where do you keep your dirty laundry/laundry basket?
Maybe i should try rolling/foldning my socks again🤔 i used to just lay them together and fold them in half but stopped when i moved from my parents because i got lazy so now i ball them again😅
I fold my socks and store them in a 4 sectioned box mugs came in. It works perfectly! I might try hanging my T- shirts, too. Yes, I like pj's too.
I love the wallpaper in your closets, it's like a little pop of happy in the morning lol.
Very nice job 😊
Your closet looks great! You have been inspiring me for the last 19 months. Thank you for these great videos.
I did like the final results 🤎🤍💚
I ball my socks too, looks great.

Hey Melinda! Thank you so much! I have a playlist on my channel with music stuff! th-cam.com/play/PLJ9jpKFR0Szz-bncjHg0H98XmUq715hlH.html
So glad you're going to be performing again! Congrats!
You look radiant!

Glad to know it wasn't just me bothered by the hanger under the drawer.😊
Good organizing. I used to ball my socks then in the past few years I switched to folding socks and prefer it.
Beautiful. Loved all the organizing tips and loved your end result. Hi Clover Bean. 🐕👋
Love it so pretty. I roll my socks 🧦. My daughter and son sock drawer is organized roll and fold. The Container store
I love how you did the closet I wish you could do mine I love pajamas loungewear and balling socks this was so enjoyable to watch take care and stay safe
Looks awesome! And Clover is just so adorable 🥰🥰🥰
Love this!!
Love the closet makeover 🤗 I love pjs 🙂
Love this!
I like the socks on the door
I hope you filmed your clothing declutter snd your thought process!
Wow! That looks great. You’ve really downsized your clothing. I’m trying to get to a much smaller amount too. Thanks for sharing and loving how your house is coming along. Hugs to clover. Xx
I love pajamas too 💜 Loved this video. TFS.
Hello, Do you have a video about the bins on the closet doors?
my socks are all black with prints so i fold/roll them making sure the print is visible and place them in a sock organiser sitting on top of my draws, tshirts i do the same fold print side out and put in a draw
I hope we'll be watching an "opera backstage / rehearsal" vlog soon
Your closet looks so nice. I've gotten rid of lots of clothes too.somehow it's feels better to have more space. You truly inspired me
Awsomes vid.I like the closet wallpaper who is the designer and I wonder if it comes in a fabric print.
Great job 👏 you have inspired me to clean my closet tomorrow. Need to get things off the floor ❤ and yes I ball my socks🍂🍁
Can you link the mirror, I'd like to check it out. Thank you
Happy you got your closet like you want it! The vanity is great. I do my socks just like you. I’ve tried clamping them together and folding over, but those did not work for me.

love!!!! will you be doing a home tour after you are settled in? I'm loving everything you've shown so far! and I roll my socks because folding seems like too much work for socks haha I have to much to do as it is!
Good job Kay. Cute space!
I keep my socks loose in the drawer and just grab two matching ones. Everything looks great!

I have 2 full drawers of pajamas! 😆
You really did a great job of making the space work!
Another great and inspiring video Kay! I feel ready to reorganize my closet now (much needed). :P
