@@cindydean1840 yayy it's a fun one!!
Hi, Carla and Samson! New viewer/subscriber. Binge watched several episodes over the weekend and it was just the cathartic inspiration I needed to declutter, clean, and purge my home of five large bags of everything from old cosmetics to expired pantry items. I feel lighter and more clearheaded. So much so that my workweek has been more productive at the office. I am a 59 yr old, divorced professional with a 9 month old puppy Lily. As a single person I convinced myself that certain things about my home didn’t matter as I am the only person seeing those spaces. Thank you for the encouragement of progress not perfection. It was the boost I needed to make changes because doing it for myself is enough of a reason❤️
This makes me so happy! Yay! And hello to little puppy Lily!!😍
Like me! Discovered this great channel today!
Sampson backed out with that doggo treat he was not playing 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
He,s so adorable
That was the best, he’s so cute !
Haha yessss best part of this vid
Yess!❤ Super adorable! 😘🐾🐾
The way Samson backed up outta the kitchen like “thank youuuuu” 😂
He doesn’t trust kitchens he’s so funny
As much as I love you Carla, let's face it, I'm watching for Sansom's Oscar worthy performances at this point!!! I thought he couldn't get any cuter when he backed out of the kitchen with his greenie, but then milking the "sore paw" for all it's worth really stole my heart hahaha. He's such a little character x
He has personality for days! I swear he’s constantly entertaining me lol
Carla, I've said it before but, I just love the music you curate for this channel.
I appreciate that!🥰
I've also mentioned in the past what excellent music Carla uses in her videos. There was just one song in a past video, it was in Spanish with a lot of swearing involved, obviously she was not aware of it, so I found it so funny!
I did catch that! @@Xiroi87
Agreed!
I love your decluttering and cleaning videos! You show the realistic side of how we all live. Its not all perfect and new, most of us live in old spaces with used appliances and furniture. It makes me feel good to see the difference you make in a space. I also love your videos that you have done with your sister. I have a family member that is a boarder line hoarder and you show how you help her and let her make the decisions.
Thank you so much!!
I’m scared of dogs, but your little one has kind eyes
Samson walking past in a tartan raincoat because he IS The Moment.
A precious, sweet baby angel.
A crow in a painting symbolizes wisdom.
Sometimes you can find really nice frames at Goodwill or other thrift stores for your art work.
Definitely! That’s the plan!
I think what I love about your videos, along with the music, is remembering being on my own and doing things to please myself. It has been over forty years since that time, I miss it. Thank you for this video.😘
I love how much you love Samson, he is super sweet and laid back!!!
He’s my best friend 🥰❤️
Love the relaxing music.
Staring: Samson, the goodest boi 😍
This is my favorite cleaning video. I love the music. I'm so tired of those videos with ASMR. I also got rid of my flat sheets. My bed feels so much better. Keep doing what you're doing Carla! I love it.
I only use flat sheets in the summer (no blankets.) I really liked the floral sheet she donated. Would be great to make an outfit from it.
I really appreciate you showing that even though you do this for a living that your place can get messy as well. it’s nice to see that we are all human and that nobody has a perfect spotless place every single day.
oh yes i started this whole channel bc i needed accountability and i still do!! better than where i started but have more to improve! :)
I hope you get your Cali sunshine back soon! Me, here in PNW, I'm used to the rain 🌧 🌧 🌧
Today was better!!
I 100% agree with no flat sheets. I order fitted sheets only from IKEA.
That Sampson is such a suave old gentleman, backing out of the room so gracefully 🤣🤣
I have these moments when I walk by a spot (probably ….most likely…more than once) that needs decluttering and I think, “what would Carla do?” Thanks for being that little voice over my shoulder! Hi Sampson! ❤️
Oh my gosh you made my night thank you!!!
Same. Same!
I just fixed a light bulb that was broken for weeks. Yay! "What would Carla do" works for me, too!
@@TheCarlaProject You know you've made it when people think of you when they declutter and organize!
I love your apartment and your videos. The music is soothing too.
Hope there's no flooding etc where you are. Glad Samson survived his paw 'injury' 😄
The limp mysteriously disappeared when he was running to the kitchen for his treat 😂
@@TheCarlaProject😂😂😂
Since your space is the bedroom and office, the calendar on the wall would interfere with your vibe unless you place it very low on the wall behind your desk. Great music selection and lovable Samson.
It seems not bringing things in that makes the biggest difference. It is a process.❤
I’m never gonna be someone who doesn’t buy some thing ever again so that’s not likely :)
Dog shelters would love to have those flat sheets😊
Yeah, there’s one by me. They got Samson’s old dog bed. I’ll drop the sheets off there.
Love your calming voice, music, practical ideas, and of course love Samson!! I laughed out loud when his paw drama happened. Glad he got a treat!!!
lol he’s a survivor 😂
Thank you for sharing a glimpse - once again- of your home and tidying routine. So inspirational.
I got rid of the flat sheets years ago and never looked back. Now, when i stay somewhere with them, it drives me crazy. So much easier without them.
Yessss!!
Hope you and your family are safe from the rain troubles.
My house can get trash so fast but it also can get clean so fast without the clutter. Samson ❤ xoxo for his Bo bo 🐾 and he gets a treat...so worth it.
Samson.... You are absolutely THE BEST!!! Such a gentle soul. I think you two are made for each other Carla... You take care of each other ❤️
Thank you so much! We do!!❤️
Two screens can be super useful for working between two items. I have three screens at my work desk and some days that's not enough. You could also put the big screen on an arm that clamps to the side of the desk and swing it back against the wall when not in use. Great work!!
Welcome to the no-flat-sheet club! Life is better and making the bed takes 5 seconds every day
Want to add that I really enjoy and appreciate the music you play for us! Only 1 other TH-camr plays music I like. Most I can’t stand. I’ve even quit watching some channels that I otherwise liked a lot. But I just couldn’t tolerate their music
Glad you and Sampson are ok!
❤❤❤ Samson in the raincoat!!!😊
I also stopped using flat sheets. They always just end up at the foot of the bed or on the floor. I did keep like two, I think, though because they have come in handy for other random things. Like when I need something to cover the floor or twice when I moved and needed something to cover the windows at night until I could get curtains.
There is something so comforting to me about putting on one of your cleaning and decluttering videos while I’m cleaning and decluttering. My husband pokes fun at me and I always laugh back that you and I are cleaning buddies. Thanks for being a motivation to me to get off my butt and clean!
Ha ha I’m so happy!! 😀 💖
I decluttered all the flat sheets from my house (family of 5) except for one set for guests :) We all can't stand them haha.
I’m not alone 😂
You’re motivating me😅
Aww Samson is such a sweetheart, he looks like such a gentle old man with his big soulful eyes and gray chin.❤
Yes, he does!😍
Love your videos 🥰 Sampson is sooo cute with his treat 😂 My husband is ADDICTED to June’s Journey!!! And welcome to the ‘no flat sheets’ club!!😅
Great job. The house looks fresh and brand new❤
This is motivating me to do another round of decluttering that I haven't done in a couple months.
yes! i also decided that I don't have to follow the traditional approach to bedding and got rid of the flat sheets. So liberating!
Fitted sheets only!!!!!! I always donate the flat sheets as soon as I get them.
I love how Samson backs out of the kitchen. LOL He is so cute.
When you mentioned in between clothes, I think you were probably referring to clothing that you just wore once and you want to wear again before washing. I hang clothes like that back in my closet, but I turned the hanger, the other way on the rod. And then for clothes that I don’t hang up, I fold them and set them on my dresser. A lot of people find success in having hooks on the back of the door to hang clothing that’s not quite ready to wash.
Carla, l mentioned that I am househunting. Much to my surprise, 2 homes so far, had an antique stove like yours! I wasn't freaked out because I could see it for what it was. I was napping, and when that lovely jazz started, I woke up to your delightful content. Thanks.
Oh my gosh keep sending me househunting updates!!!
I will. It's a crazy market right now, but I believe the right house will tick all my boxes and make my heart skip a beat. Just like my first house did.
You blew my mind when you collapsed that Ikea basket!!
You're better than me. When it's gloomy and rainy I cannot for the life of me get going on cleaning. My adhd has me watching in super speed and that always motivates me. Great video as always.
What a marked difference between your house & your sister’s house!!! You are so minimal and your sister is trying to become minimalist. Such a difference!!! 🌺🌺🥰🥰❤️❤️
Oh yeah, but I’ve come along way you should see my old videos!!
Have you considered hooks on a wall (maybe behind your door in the bedroom?) for in-between clothes? Got the idea from Cas from Clutterbug and I LOVE mine. So simple, but I wear my pajamas several nights, workout clothes a couple days, etc, and I love having a home for them that’s off the floor…
Thank you for showing your home once again. The way you share, even though you do this for a living, clutter can catch up with you. Looks great. See you soon. Be well.🥰
If that banjo music doesn't get us motivated, nothing will.☺💞
Carla, I dont know if you realize….you made ur bed with fresh sheets and made it all clean. Then you picked up everything off the dirty floor complete with dog hair and put it on ur bed, and now it is all dirty. Maybe you should reverse the order you are using. Floor things sorted and put away first then the bed last ❤
Eh it’s ok I cleaned it again. It gets done and it’s all good.
Hi Carla and Samson. ❤
Decluttering on a rainy day = perfect.
The sound of your videos is great. I'm not a fan of videos with microphones held, I can't explain why, I just don't like it.
Your "one item comes, so another one has to go" is a concept easy to follow.
I have to admit a purchase of impulse buying... didn't turn out well. It was a kind of local flea market, online.
So, I got the address of the person selling it, got there and while looking at the decoration items I thought "hm...I don't like them as much as I thought I would". And yet I purchased them. Why ? There was no obligation from my side. I could and should have said I changed my mind. Did I do that ? No.
At home the first thing I did was try to get rid of them. A couple of days later an older lady showed up and gratefully took them.
What's the lesson learned ? More thinking, sugarcoating when browsing online. 😂😢
Ahh, nothing like a rainy day indoors and jazz. I love your music selections!
Nice tidy and clean and declutter! I don’t think it’s necessary to be an extreme minimalist. I think we need to enjoy our spaces and our things, over adhering to strict rules (eg 125 items). Your place is so lovely. Samson is such a cutie and reminds me of our Great Dane (he had one eye with a black rim and one that was missing the pigment, like yours). ❤️
Oh, you’re the first person I’ve heard whose
Dog had the same thing with the eyes. So cool!! It’s his birthmark 💖😍
I’m def not a minimalist. And my place gets very messy. Dog hair and dust mites. Craft stuff, things to resell or donate. Regular dirt from just daily living. My back is kaput, so it takes me a long time to get a clean house.
I had a golden/husky. The very tops of his eyes were icy blue.
I totally agree that not everyone should strive for extreme minimalism. It took me four years to completely declutter my house. I kept only things I used or that bring me joy. My goal was to simplify my life. Going into minimalism would have totally stressed me out. To each their own.
I watch every new video! Love your channel
I’m going to her house this weekend and we’re gonna do some decluttering so new stuff coming soon!!
Yay!! Can't wait. @@TheCarlaProject
Your videos are always inspiring, whenever i finish watching one i always look around and see if a can declutter something. 😂
I'm so glad!😀 You
Sampson has the best expressions. ❤
Enjoy your videos and also they are useful information 👍🏻
I was anti flat sheet when I was younger, but I came back around for quilts. Plus if you find the right sheets it can be so soft! I like lyocell eucalyptus sheets. They get softer each wash with no nasty chemicals!
Yes! I have the best quilt from schoolhouse. I absolutely adore it!And I love sheets. Especially good linen sheets. I just don’t like getting tangled up in the flat sheet but some other people in the comments also said they changed their mind as they got older. Will have to check out those eucalyptus sheets!
You are so calm
Handsome Samson looks so well
the music ❤
I have gotten rid of all my flat sheets too. Hate them. I used to have one to put on my couch if I or anyone needed to sleep there, but now I just use my extra fitted sheet for that.
It's a cold rainy morning in England, so this was a perfect video to watch!
You’re videos are my favorite because you are not perfect but making progress. I have learned cleaning techniques from other TH-camrs but you are so relatable because you are honest about the struggle. Keep it up we love your videos and of course Samson.
Thank you so much!!❤️❤️
Your place looks so nice and comfortable. And I love how Samson spun around when you said treat. ❤
He’s so funny!!
@@TheCarlaProject he's a love.
Samson is such a sweetheart! I love seeing the interactions between you and him. Enjoyed the video, your apartment is so nice. Especially love the orange sofa!
Thank you so much!
Love your bedspread , and thank you so much for your inspiration through this rain
You are so welcome!🤗
I took a break from decluttering my bedroom to watch you decluttering yours now I'm trying to decide if I want to get back to it tonight or finish it tomorrow
Finish it tomorrow, bright and early!💖
Designate a place for clothes that are in between, the clothes that are not dirty enough to wash and that can be worn a few times more.. That is why many have a little chair that is often the place to put the clothes in between, for others, it is the exercise bike or threadmill.
On rainy days turn on lots of lights and your favorite music and start jammn
I just use a duvet w cover and fitted sheet too
I also agree about the flat sheets. I haven’t used them for years 🙂. I have the same kind of double kitchen sink you do, and keep a smaller dish rack in it instead of the rolling thing you use. I can stack a lot more drying dishes in it and wash as I go (sort of). Yours are the only videos I watch regularly and it brightens my day when a new one comes out. You, your apartment, and Sampson are so easy to relate to. Thanks so much 🤩!
Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for watching us again and again 😍💖
crows represent collectors, outstanding team members and problem solvingm
Oh Sampson, what a cutie! ❤
Cool! It's so good to hear you say you don't like flat sheets, I discovered a long time ago I hate them too, and all I need is my duvet covers from Anthropologie which are the most beautiful things I've ever seen and I spent a lot on them but I only have two and it's so easy to make the bed every morning. The pattern is so boho and beautiful of one of them I think it's called the Matteo if you care to check it out, and what it serves as is basically one big art piece focal point for me instead of art on the wall. I know it's weird to say there's no art on my wall, but I'm an artist, LOL so most of the art on the wall around the rest of my house is mine😊
I used to have a gorgeous duvet cover from Anthropologie . It was like a tree and mountains and it was blue and gray. It was gorgeous but it got ruined in the wash. I’ll check yours out. It sounds lovely😍
great video, love the inspiration for just small consistent decluttering
Thanks so much! 😊
I hate rainy days days 😷 Ive been sick. Just now starting to feel better after 12 days. Ive taken out trash, laundry in, dishwasher going. I ordered groceries and had them delivered. Still need to put clothes away and make my bed. Well straighten the covers anyway. It is 820 pm. I love the lady and crow pic. Its beautiful
Get well!!❤️
I really like the woman and crow.
Lovely video. For your closet I would advise to change the dark green wallpaper into a light color and immediately it will feel bigger and brighter. Good luck.
Love the 1 in 1 out rule! 😊 Sampson is the cutest! 🐾
Sampson and those eyes…too cute. I got out 6 closet items. One jacket, one sweater poncho, 2 tops & 2 shoes. I am allowing myself to bring in 3 new shoes and one sweater/cardigan/poncho type item. I had the hubs add a hook in the closet for my work tote and I got one new basket to hold my other handbags to store in the closet. I am done replacing handbags for now and I only have one more shoe to purchase (loafer) and I’m done adding to my wardrobe until Spring. I will make a small list of what I will need and it’s usually T-shirts & a refresh on under garments and one pair of cropped jeans, possibly one more handbag. So that budget will be moderate. When I take things out I create a plan of what I will replace. I have purchased some affordable options in shoes to see what I actually wear, then I replace them with a better brand. For instance. I got some Target sandals in neutral colors and found I do wear the colors. I replaced them with Birkenstocks in those colors. The same with my loafer and a pair of flats and one short heel. When I’m done I will end up with 10 pair of shoes. 3-sandals, 3-sneakers, 1-loafer, 1-flat, 1-heel, 1-boot. It has taken me a few years to figure out a system that will work for me and finding quality items within my budget and I have really enjoyed the process. ❤👜👟🧣👖👚🧥
Looooove your method!!! Adore it and working on similar precision with my wardrobe later this year. I doubt my wardrobe will be that small, but I do want it to be that refined and purposeful,
@@TheCarlaProject I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really feel good about it. I also started taking photos of outfit combinations and saving them on my phone. Not that I’m stylish or anything. Mostly dress like a geranimals graduate. Kinda matching coordinating kinda vibe, but it’s working. Here are the brands I like for shoes. Sketchers for sneakers, Birkenstock for sandals, Thursday Boots for boots, Ralph Lauren for loafer, Naturalizer for small heel & flat. My handbags are Tory Burch, Dooney & Micheal Kors and I only purchase on sale or outlets.
When I was a I’d I hated the flat sheet, never used one until I got married. I used to think I was so weird. 😀. Now I see a lot of people online don’t use to sheets! You do what’s comfortable for you!
Love your calm chill videos & music, love your apt keep it like you have it with the pops of colours, hi to Samson💕🪷🪷
😊 thank you
Ive been really low energy past few days. Winters long 😊 thanks for the motivation
Hey Carla!
I enjoyed your video a lot. What seems to be your repetitive problem is that things pile up because you don‘t put them back. What helped me was the note „everything that can be put away in less that 1-2 minutes should be done right away“. This Note always comes to my mind when i want to put things down where they don‘t belong. Maybe it helps you too 😊
I love that extreme minimalist life too but I too have a hard time pairing down further. There are things I know I don't use though, I could do better. I hate flat sheets too!
I lean towards putting things in little drawer organizers, but I like the idea of sorting junk drawer things using a jewelry organizer. And, yeah, I gave up flat sheets a long time ago. What doesn't serve you has gotsta go! Including flat sheets lol
Heard the weather has been dreadful happy to see you and Samson are doing well. I enjoyed this video. 🙏🏽❤️💯
Thanks so much💖💖
Omg! I’m so excited for a new evening video from you right now. Going to watch while I fold clothes. 🎉
Yay! Thank you!❤️
Been play June's journey for years now, on and off 😊
Hi Carla, I found the no buy challenge with your sister very interesting, since you are right - the clutter never ends when new things keep coming in all the time . Thanks for sharing!
Hi Carla,
I like to clean and declutter when it’s raining too. I enjoyed your videos.
Carla I am new here and have to say I really enjoy your declutter videos. Now I am motivated to do some cleaning and decluttering in my home. Today it was adorable how you apologised to Samson and got him a treat after throwing a box near him. I do the same with my dog Beau if I scare him somehow. You are charming. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome!! Happy to have you here!❤️
You have all that room on the wall next to the computer that you could have some type of organizing system. Shelves, bulletin board with holes and containers ,lots of options for the small things that collect on your desk.
