If you are new here, hey! I am Natalie - follower of Jesus, wife to my childhood best friend, and homeschool mama to three.
I’m also the ORIGINAL creator of “MESSY TO MINIMAL”- a widely-popular extreme decluttering and home organization series that I started in 2020. In the course of about a year, my husband and I worked to simplify our home and lifestyle. With our first pass through our home we got rid of over 80% of our possessions. Nowadays, we’re not keeping track of the number, because decluttering is more of a maintenance task to invest into the health and simplicity of our home and family life moving forward!
I continue to share this series as a way to completely DEMOLISH the idea that decluttering is a one and done activity (especially in a home with young children!) I am here to give you non-judgmental encouragement and some gentle motivation for your own decluttering and simple-living journey!

I love how you and your hubby work together to create a fall/winter capsule wardrobe. Teamwork makes the dream work.
I love working with him!
Sometimes I wish we lived on a planet where we all just wore zip up jumpsuits in different colours like in sci-fi movies so clothing isn't such a headache issue 😄😁
I never liked the bathroom issue of a onesie, but you can do this! I used to fantasize a closet of white linen dresses, kinda like Olive Oil's from Popeye.
I bought a pink jumpsuit and I did briefly consider buying all the colours
Track suits are the perfect compromise here 😂
You could do that nothing stopping you
So so happy for you that you found some jeans. I've been watching for years and have seen your health journey as you have shared it. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you! G+D have been such a gift!
My seasonal stuff gets put away. The winter stuff is just so big and bulky, it doesn't make sense to keep it all out all the time here. But my summer "seasonal" collection is quite small - some shorts and floral dresses. My base wardrobe - like all pants and shirts - stay in the drawers always. We also go from really cold winters to potentially quite moderate summers here in Norway, so most things can be used year around.
I'm currently doing a challenge from wool& though, where I bought this wool dress and wear "only" that for 100 days. It will probably take me longer as I have many days where what I wear is clothes for working outside or with the chickens, but I wear that dress whenever I go to the store or into the office or meet up with friends. That's a challenge that will really minimize your closet for around three months!
I saw you use your super power of putting up those hooks and THEN checking it with a level!
I also tried the seasonal bins this summer and found it didn’t work for me as more time went on. It helped me filter my clothing a bit more as I realized I had a few duplicate items, but overall, I prefer having immediate access to my entire wardrobe. I have two side by side hanging closet cabinets and I’ve switched the seasonal clothing back and forth so the current seasonal clothing is with my jewelry collection and off season is in my “storage” closet. I’ve found that works really well for me
🫶 I always love your content Natalie! Your honest sharing about your journey to get to where you are now with your clothing set-up was SO relatable!🙌 (compartmentalizing for the win!) Have a super week! 😁💗
I have never understood the seasonal wardrobe and puttin clothes away. I do have a cube bin with my sweaters in it but they live there all year long.
Im located in MN 😊
When Weston threw that black shirt to the corner and you caught it to fold it and put it somewhere … I cracked up laughing. Could’ve been a scene from my husband and I decluttering clothes 😂 ❤
That Peanuts Sweater is giving me serious fomo. I love it so much. I'm sure it's vintage but where Is it from?
I have you on in the background every day and you bring me so much peace, gratitude, and productivity ❤
I haven’t done a seasonal bin before. I will usually just put my in season clothes to the part of the closet or drawer that’s easiest to reach. It’s always worked really well for me! Love these videos and all the gentle motivation!🍁🧡
You’ve inspired me to refresh my small closet. I set aside off season clothing (mostly bulky coats during the summer) in two thin storage bags at the top of our reach-in closet. My husband and I each have about 4’ of width to store ALL our clothes and coats and shoes, no dressers/underbed bins/storage closets for more. We have 4 seasons and wide temperature swings are not uncommon (up to 80° last week and down to 15° this week) so keeping things minimal and at the ready works best for us.
Part of my intentional living journey has led me to looking into what companies we support in a world that seems increasingly in opposition to our faith.
That's why I thrift most of my clothing or look for smaller/ethical businesses to support!
Okay, never commented before but I wanted to share that my daughter (who’s 3) and I watched a couple of your recent vlogs this weekend and we LOVED it! I really enjoyed being able to share videos that I enjoy so much and feeling assured that she’d be seeing a family that demonstrates values similar to ours. So calming and wholesome! Thanks for all you do. I know these videos take a lot of work ❤
I live in TN. We have all four seasons and I’ve never had a seasonal bin. I have a small collection (minimal and tidy by nature). Seems like extra work to me! Love your videos btw!
Love that you were decluttering as a team and that you both recognise old favourites that are no longer needed in your clothing inventory.
Side note Blundstone boots (or Blun-ies as we call them in Australia) will only get more comfortable the more you wear them. They mold to your unique foot shape and are so durable and easy to slip on. Great boots.
Once I started downsizing the amount of clothes in my wardrobe I am able to keep almost everything I have in my closet and I love it! The only thing I still rotate out is winter coats and shorts/short summery dresses.
My solution to the seasonal bin, always keep out just two items (example - two short sleeve shirts for myself and each of my kids) from the last season. Then, whenever I need them in that transitional period - I have them handy. They just hang out at the back of the closet or bottom of the drawer but it work for us!
Same!
I love having a seasonal bin, just because it makes it fun to have “new” clothes again :)
YESSS!!!!❤
I like to have all my clothes accessible. This was a fantastic declutter & your wardrobe looks so great Well done 👍🏼🌺😘
I live in the north so it gets real cold and I keep all seasons in my closet year around. I’ve found when I did use a season bin I forgot what I had and ended up spending money on doubles. I still do a capsule wardrobe and just put the “off season” things to one side of the closet. But whatever works for your brain is really what’s best. Some times you just have to adjust a bit.
I am the same way! I have to keep all seasons where I can see them because of weather extremes and I am lucky to have space in my closet to push my off-season clothing there but still have access to it. Otherwise I forget what I have and spend unnecessary money buying the same things!
Yesssss! I've done this too. "Out of sight out of mind" has its merits, sometimes, but I've definitely doubled on things that were TOO "out of mind" up there in the bin!
I don't do a seasonal bin either. I don't have a lot of clothes so everything fits in our small closet. Love this video!
I'm with you on the seasonal bin. I no longer do that either. The only separate clothing bin I have is for maternity clothes and then when I'm using it, I take things out of my closet that definitely will not work during pregnancy. I like being able to see everything I have and it makes taking things out of my collection very easy.
Same here! I used to have a seasonal bin, but I found the task of pulling it out and switching over so daunting. Also, the big bulky winter clothes didn't really fit in there.
I, too, live somewhere with a wide range in temperature (15 °F - 100 °F) and my winter and summer wardrobe are completely different (except for bras and pantys, but I even use different socks). I moved several times during the last three years and didn't have furniture to store all my clothes. Now I have a dresser and a closet again. I keep the clothes in season in my dresser, the rest is neatly put away in drawers in my closet. Everything is easily accessible at all times. When seasons are changing, I gradually pull some pieces out. When they get washed, I already put them in my dresser. When the new season has completely arrived I switch over all the seasonal clothing. This task is easy because I use cardboard boxes as dividers in my dresser and my closet drawers - so I just switch out the boxes. No need to fold stuff or pull out bins from the top of my closet. It just takes a few minutes.
I keep everything in my closet and just rotate clothes in my drawers. I like to put out of season stuff in the bottom drawer or on a high shelf. I use bins for my kids though because they will wear sweatpants in 100 degrees or shorts in 30 degrees if I don't stash them away.
I live in the Northwest too and I would find it really stressful to have seasonal bins. The weather is all over the place! And it would just feel like another chore switching it.
Would love to see you walk in those shoes, when they are flat. (Maybe over on patreon?!?)They seem to be so uncomfortable. 😅
The weather in North Carolina is very unpredictable, so I keep all of my clothes in the closet at the same time. I do sort them per season. Love how you both worked together to clean out the closet! AND you both decluttered!!! So Proud!!! Great Job! 👏
I just put away the really bulky winter coats and gloves, scarfs etc. in summer to keep the hallway simple. And I change seasons for my kids because I don’t want to argue with a 3yo why they cannot wear shorts in the middle of german winter or their wool sweater for going to the beach in summer.
Natalie, I love how intentional you are with your videos…including the background music. I found myself in tears while I was decluttering my closet because I’m having a difficult time knowing that my oldest child will be graduating from high school this year. I’m putting away clothes that he has outgrown (size men’s Medium) to save for my younger son. It’s just surreal. I know I have much more to declutter, so I’m grateful for your videos to guide and encourage me. Thank you, Natalie!!❤️
Ummm those shoes are life changing. I could literally get rid of 50% of shoes owning these!
I also live in a climate with distinct seasons and have been keeping my out of season (and maternity) clothes in my bottom drawer for a couple years now. It is a GAME CHANGER!
The band tees made me laugh, because my husband would never want to part with his either! Except he does actually wear them quite often. I loved how you gently guided Weston to be able to keep them, but in a way that works better for the space. ❤
I love your minimal jewelry collection and it closely resembles the amount of jewelry I actually use and wear. However I have a huge collection of jewelry that I keep because I guess it’s sentimental, but I never reach for it. Do you have any tips for letting go of things and looking more critically at what actually gets used? I’m a minimal jewelry wearer and I’m not sure why I find it such a sticking point.
I do have a seasonal bin but it’s very small and just lives in my wardrobe. In summer it has my hats, scarfs and gloves in. In winter it has my shorts and handbag (I only use a handbag in the summer as I don’t have coat pockets). All other clothes like jumpers and skirts stay in my wardrobe all year round.
I have bins in my closet labeled for out of season tops, bottoms, and PJs, respectively and another one for “occasion wear” which has mostly fancy clothes and hiking clothes. I love this system bc it keeps those items separate but easy to access! I also keep “personal” and “work” clothes on separate sides of my closet bc I dress VERY differently for work
My system is similar! My dresser is for personal clothes and pants. My closet is for work clothes, fancy clothes, and off season shoes. Sometimes I'm a little overwhelmed by seeing all of my clothes at once, but its just the season I'm in right now that I need separate business wear for work.
I would say as much seasonal sweaters and pants you've decluttered, it makes total sense to keep the rest accessible! ❤
A great observation!
I’m due for a closet declutter and rearrange. I have such a small amount of clothing that I just switch the out of season clothes to one side and in season in a easy to reach area. I have a two door closet. No walk in here. If I did have a walk in I would definitely put my dresser in there.
I keep everything in my closet all year, but I do micro-organize them. I actually bought some custom dividers on Etsy. For instance, I wear black leggings 95% of the time. So I needed to separate them by: workout, regular, fleece-lined, capri, etc. That way I’m not looking through all of them when I’m looking for something specific. It’s a game-changer.
Love this video! Gives me inspiration to tackle our apartment. I’ve been in the market for new boots and the blundstones you have look perfect! What style of their boots is the one shown in the video?
I've never had a storage system for my clothes and I have 4 seasons. I wear so many things for all different times. Plus, it's 80 one day and 32 the next here. 😂
Exactly! I'm in TN and it can go from freezing to nice and warm in a few hours lol 😅
I live in the UK so we do have clear seasons. I do run quite warm so I can wear more summery clothes quite early in the year and late into autumn but I do keep my proper winter items separate and swap them out with high summer items. I think that time will be coming soon, might need to find my scarf and hat too!
You and Weston work together so well. I smile every time I see you two together.
You both did so well decluttering and your closet looks great!
I live in Upstate New York and I have around 30 items total for spring, summer, fall and winter. I don't use a seasonal tote. I move the clothes I'm currently using for that season to the front and the off season ones to the back in my closet.
I do plan on buying a couple sweaters for this winter season.
I love watching your videos and I'm thankful for them. ❤
I'm also in Upstate NY, and whoa....30 items for allll the seasons?!
I like a lot of options when it comes to clothing...😉🤷🏻♀️
I just recently started using an extra drawer for seasonal clothes as well. It's hard because all my summer fits all together but the winter clothes are too bulky so I hang them in a bag in an extra closet.
I so enjoy your content! Thank you for these nuggets of joy. It's probably not always easy, so I just want to share that I appreciate this channel!
Natalie, when you switched from the bin to the drawers I, literally, cheered! 😂🎉 A couple of years ago, the LORD led me to do the same thing (the Holy Spirit is the most BRILLIANT decluttering Coach!! 🙌🙌), and it has been an absolute DREAM! For me, it is the perfect combination of having the unseasonal pieces not cluttering the visual of my closet whole still keeping them accessible...which is important, because I live in Kentucky where we can often go through all 4 seasons in one day. 😂 It's also great because I don't have to deal without the the physical hassle of a giant tub (SO much easier and enjoyable to just transfer from hangar to drawer) and also because the drawer becomes my container so that if it starts to feel crammed I know it's time to declutter. And, for all that, it still is this fun discovery every time I pull out the new season that feels like I'm "shopping my closet". So WIN, WIN, WIN!!! So excited for you to try it out, too! 😃🙌🙌🙌🙌💖
I completely agree with getting rid of seasonal storage. Not only is it a major painful project every few months, but I found that my clothes were damaged in those vacuum bags. I've been trying to figure out the solution as I have tiny old home closets. I love the idea of using dresser drawers. Thank you!
Natalie, you are always such a good host. We also end up hosting alot and guests tend to stay overnight. I don't know if you have guests like this but can you do a video on some of your tips for overnight guests?
I find myself running around the house gathering items like pillows and blankets, and trying to rearrange furniture to make room for everyone to sleep, and wondering what to do about breakfast.. etc. but there's got to be a better way! I don't have any dedicated guest room here. How can I simplify hosting the unexpected /overnight visitors? I don't want to be a frantic host lol
Thanks ❤
I really don't have much experience with this as all of our guests are usually local! Out of town guests have opted for a local BnB or to stay with their family. I wish I could give some tips on this for you!
Breakfast: a quiche or cheesy casserole, a bread like blueberry muffins or banana bread, and fruit or mixed berries with yougurt and granola. I keep clean sheets, pillows and blankets together. It’s fun, don’t worry !
I used to have a seasonal stash apart from my other clothes, but I would forget what was there and miss opportunities to wear things slightly off-season. Now I like to have it all together. Especially summer stuff, I like to layer even when it's colder.
If you go to your local Quilt Shop you could ask them for the name of someone that makes T-shirt quilts and ask them to make Weston one from his band shirts
🫶 I keep all of our seasons of clothes out at once!
You guys are so cute!!!! Thanks for the incentive to go through my closet!!!!
I’ve looked at my clothes and really wish I could declutter and do a capsule wardrobe. Well bit bigger
Also with our heated homes and many going from house to car we don’t really need such warm clothes.
Wish I lived nearby would love that hat
You are so blessed to live where there are seasons! I live in Florida and so it’s basically different variations of hot all year. I have simplified my clothes to the point I can keep everything in my closet except my heaviest coats, but then I rarely need them. I keep those in a bin. I only need winter clothes a few months out of the year but I need summer clothes all year 😊
I live in PA, so we definitely get 4 distinct seasons. I have always kept all seasons together. I’m too lazy to have to swap out.
Weston's "I look like a Stormtrooper" made me burst out laughing lol
Also, Michigander here with what feels like 6 months of cold/winter lol Honestly? I don't swap out seasonal stuff or like pack it away or whatever. It stays in the drawers and closets and kinda just gets moved around with the seasons. Shorts and tank tops make their way to the front/tops of drawers during the summer, and summer dresses and things front of the closet, and then vice versa during the winter! Cuz some things (like Tshirts and some leggings or the occasional hoodie) do get worn year round :)
As a kid my mom made me a seasonal drawer of my dresser, so shorts and tanks in one drawer and long pants and sleeves on another. Now I just have a small enough number of clothes that I have a tops drawer and a bottoms drawer.
I live in a state that has all 4 seasons and honestly is pretty consistently bipolar for weather, so a seasonal bin just never made sense as the weather is so unpredictable. So all my clothes are in my closet or dresser.
I use to keep all my seasonal in my closet, but then i found I got discouraged and was more willing to donate them cause "I wasn't wearing it" when really I was asking in the wrong season. Now i keep my off season clothes in a separate closet still hung so it's easily accessible if i need something. It also makes decision making easy as i can see everything I WOULD wear for that specific season.
As an Oregonian, I do put SOME things away seasonally, but it’s usually only my heavy winter clothes, some long John’s, and a couple holiday themed pieces. I’ve got an ‘auntie claus’ t shirt and two pairs of Christmas leggings that don’t need to be out all year. But for pants/shorts/tshirts/sweaters etc all of that stays out year round 😂 we’ve had snow on the 4th of July, and some winters we miss out on the snow completely. Every day is a gamble on what the weather will be, so I always have to be prepared 😅🤣
💚
After some heavy decluttering, everything I own is in my cupboard 😊 The only things I put away out of season are my big winter coats.
I keep all my clothes out all the time, even though I live in a place with distinct seasons. I am fairly minimal, and dresses aside, I wear all my clothes all year long, I just add layers .
I am a widowed senior and live in a two bedroom apartment. I keep spring/summer in one closet and fall/winter in another.❤😊
18:35 Oh my goodness… you said “band tees” and I heard “panties” about Westin’s shirts. I was like ok…. We don’t need to know that you don’t wear panties 😂
I’m DYING!!!!!!!!! This is so funny!
yes i had the same issue! i laughed so hard when i realised what you guys were talking about 🤣🤣
Northern Ohio here, so 4 seasons. I'm extremely minimal with my clothing now, so I easily keep everything out. No seasonal bin. I love it!
Hallo from Germany. 🫶🏻 Love your videos. Have a great day and week. 👋🏼👋🏼
I have never used a seasonal tote. Years ago, I redid my closet with built-in drawers, space for shoes, and a few open shelves. I have no dressers, either. It all fits in my closet, and I love it! If I didn't declutter, I could not have done this. I don't miss anything.
👏
Great video. I have bins I put on the top shelf of my closet, I put Seasonal item in them. Example- Fall themed shirts, Christmas themed, etc. I keep all sweatshirts/sweaters hung all year. I don't own many. Great video!
Awesome video! I've enjoyed your videos for years! I was wondering if you could do a video geared towards children. I honestly think the hardest thing for me is to not accumulate things for my son 😅 not even necessarily because he wants it as he's still really young. I just love getting things for him (I try to stick with Montessori/educational things). How do you keep the same mindset with your kid!? Please help!! Especially this time of year I feel like is the hardest 🤣
I keep it all I the closet. I’m always warm so I like to dress in layers. 🫶
I live in Chicago, and it is snowing today. I have all of my clothes in my closet all year long. We have a standard non-walk in closet that I share half of it with my husband. I have one of every type of clothing, like one wool coat, one rain coat, one windbreaker, etc. And most of my items like pants and coat and shoes are in nuetral colors, so it goes with everything.
We do the seasonal bin because we live in a small space (my husband and I each have one drawer and about 1 foot of closet space). As we have distinct and extreme seasons we swap out our clothes and store off season clothes under the bed. If I had the space to keep all my clothes out all year I would.
The extra clothing bins I keep are 1) formal wear 2) ski and extra warm gear. I live in the mountains, so we use our warm clothes year round, but I do find that I can store some of my extra thermal layers away with my ski clothes. I have 3 fleece shirts I go through in the winter, but in Summer one is enough. I keep all my sweaters and casual clothes out 100%. Giant ski coats and gloves go away, sleeker puffy coat stays out 🐲
I brought my tote up from the basement a few days ago to switch out seasonal clothes. I think I'll still keep the out of season clothes in totes but you encouraged me to declutter and be firm about decluttering. I think the two small shelves you put up for jewelry was a great idea. It looks nice and keeps "stuff" off the top of the dresser.
I switch mine out, but I have less closet space to store clothing. I only switch out though in spring and fall. So my spring switch is for spring/summer, fall is for fall/winter.
You’re inspiring me! I’ll be tackling all my family’s closets before the holidays. Wish me luck 😅❤
I have a seasonal bottom drawer too :) It makes it easier to choose what I’m going to wear, rather than have a mix in one drawer.
Do you do a caspule wardrobe/ 333 with your kids clothes? If so how do you do that? I know you respect their privacy. Could you explain that in a Q&A?
I’m late to this party, but I have a question! How do you find the motivation to continue on with projects when you’re interrupted or have to pause for the day? Is that a helpful part of content creation, it forces you to finish? I’m so notorious for just stepping away and not getting back to it for weeks. The wonderful world of ADHD 😅
I have basically 2 seasons. I am now using a drawer to help switching things out and just one bin for all my heavier knitwear. I do however, hang on to dresses that I wore at places were important to me (college grad, wedding, Tanzania trip). I have the closet space. I use half of a double door walk-in closet for my normal wear clothes and if I’m feeling overwhelmed I put a sheet over the others to “hide” or create a calmer solid colored visual space.
I find it so interesting that people store away seasonal clothing. Injust have all my sweaters in my closetnall year around. The same with my summer clothes. But I live in Norway so I don’t if that makes a difference🤭
A seasonal bin definitely doesn't work for me. Here in Southern Arkansas we do not have distinct seasons. At the moment we are in the 40's & 50's and next week we will be back to the 80's.!!!!
Now tote. Just different drawers or bottom/top back/front-in closet works greta for me. Less in my mind and time since my collection isnt out fo control. I thoguht I ahs a lot but when ai saw people have just as mcuh when they group by season if yiu add each one together I'm not doing bad at all! Now shoes. I totally need something like your passions to save space and update but for now its not int he budget so have some overlap
When we moved last year our closet size was cut in half. The best thing we did was to invest in a closet system that we installed ourselves which made it very affordable. Two rows of hanging each (3 1/2 feet long) plus we each have 4-5 drawers with shelves above for sweaters (2 feet wide) and 2 one foot wide sections for long hanging, double hanging or shelves for shoes. Top shelves are luggage and extra blankets. We fit so much into our closet and a few extra things that are not used often go in the long dresser that is in the bedroom. Of course the best thing we have done over the years is to go down to a minimal wardrobe. We wash a load on Monday and a load on Friday (no sorting and we could go longer if needed).
Because I live in a RV I have tight closet space so after winter is over I HAVE too put my clothes/sweaters into space vacuum bags. If it weren't for the tight closet space I would do what you are doing though. Just leave them out and not store them away.
Natalie, Do you still love those wooden hangers? Do they make marks on the shoulders of your tops? I’ve been contemplating getting them.
I started a seasonal bin yesterday for the first time in my life. We moved back to Europe after being in the tropics for a while and there's no way that I'm wearing those summer clothes in a while. Me and my partner are sharing one 5-drawer dresser and a 1 meter clothing rack so we didn't really have the space anyways
The only "seasonal bin" that I do with clothes is specifically holiday themed clothing. Christmas sweaters, Halloween shirts, etc; these all get stashed inside their respective holiday boxes. It's a pet peeve of mine to see themed things in my space when it's not that time of year, haha😅
I used to live in Massachusetts and I live in the Florida now. I never really had a seasonal bin. I just had the winter clothes on the left hand side of the closet or in drawers. I wasn’t always grabbing for them and everything I needed was in the center of the closet. I think growing up we used to have outdoor gear in a tote.
I live in florida so there is not much that we would put in a seasonal bin, but i do think if i lived in a seasonal climate that i would also have everything out..i feel its more simple that way being that i am minimal and don't have much anyway..the closet looks great!
What if you and Weston switched dressers? That way he would have more drawer space that you aren't utilizing.
I don’t have seasonal bins. We do for the most part have distinct seasons however we go fishing and camping and the warmer stuff is needed for those activities. Also I wear a lot of the summer stuff indoors even when it’s cold outside.
Do you think you could link those new black boots you are trying out? I’m in the market for something a little different than what I have.
Great video. The closet looks great. Enjoy your week off ❤❤❤
I use the bottom drawer of my dresser for seasonal items as well
I have seasonal bins. I live gaving an airy closet, so it works well for me to change it out. I live in a 4 season climate which swings between summers in the 90s to -20 in winter so there needs to be a lot of options.
Only thing I put aside is my winter pjs and dressing gown the rest stays for summer and in winter the summer pjs and dressing gown get put aside, the rest just rotates in the wardrobe
I leave everything out year round. Live in Kansas and experience all of the seasons here too. I like to have everything out so I can keep a visual tab on what I own or need to buy.
I hang everything except my underwear and socks and shoes, yes even my pjs , I hang them on hangers to dry and then straight into the wardrobe when dry
I don’t put away seasonal clothes anymore. Instead I have double short racks and blend all clothes and separate by color. By doing that I discovered new items that go together and I can layer better. It may be 20 degrees outside but inside it might be too hot for a big cozy sweater. ❤️
That sounds like a great system! I'm so glad you've found something that works for you!
I do a seasonal bin. I keep a pair of shorts in my dresser for them when it starts to warm up and I haven't gotten the seasonal bin out yet. I also do the same with the summer with a sweatshirt ans cardigan for when it starts to get cool.
Love the shelves and bins. What vacuum is that? I need one that’s good with picking up dog hair?!
