    Lori Tata is human! The always together TH-camr who has these great videos of her perfect hauls and what-solds with her uncluttered counters, leads a double life. Her bedroom looks like mine! Drawers not closed all the way. Piles of "stuff" that needs to be put away. A pile of "I can wear it once more" on the chair. But my favorite, favorite, favorite part was the before luggage. That's so me. Just throw it out of the way (even though it's still in the way) with the certain knowledge that "I'll get right back to it and put it away where it belongs tomorrow". Love, love, love it. Congratulations on a huge accomplishment. I didn't think you and Lulu were going to make it into the bed for a week.

    WAY TO GO, Lori! 🙌🏻 Such a huge job and you tackled it step by step. With your adorable trusty sidekick. I continue to see how much we have in common - married 25 years and I have 2 dogs (one is a poodle/Aussie mix). I’m just so impressed with your before and after. I have a hard time letting things go; sentimental and size. You’ve inspired me! TY! 😄

    Well this was certainly a fun video! I am in love with your closet /sitting space. How cozy. The little area with your American Girl collection would be any kids secret hiding place to read a book , I am sure your daughter has wonderful memories of that area! I would have never thought to use a tablecloth to cover a chair, what a great idea. I did the Marie Kondo on my closet last summer. It does feel so good when you are finally done! My closet is so small here in Ohio compared to what I had in Tx, so I really needed to do it. Like you said, you really only wear the same few pairs of favorite jeans and leggings anyway! The one thing I could not finish was the "paper" category with Marie Kondo. Maybe next winter for that task!! Thanks for a great video!

You certainly will be busy getting all those listed!! Get the coffee ready! Oh- your interview with Denali was a delight to listen to today!! I learned so much about the American Girl Dolls. We have a few here at the house. One has an arm that is completely off her body, she needs to go to the hospital. How does that even happen , lol! There is a store in Columbus, Ohio that I believe you can send her in to get repaired.

    You did an incredible job!!! You gave me motivation. My master bath is so large, I went through all expired bath products, make up and cold medication and such to throw out. I actually purchased a Kurig for my bathroom to have a coffee station on top of an antique jelly cabinet I have in there that holds my towels so I can enjoy coffee in the morning and not have to go downstairs to get it. (Purchased shelf stable moo moos from Amazon) Yup, it's just gonna make us more lazy but I love it. I will be tackling my walk in closet as well. Enjoy your beautiful organized space!!

    Omg! Thank you for sharing your real life! I actually started my eBay Store & P.M. Closet by doing this Method in September 2019. Some things I definitely changed to better suit my needs. 1 suggestion I might make, you might consider that has been helpful to me is, I separated all of my everyday favs to one location. I don't need to look @ off season, formal clothing on a daily basis. Too overwhelmed! Also, I had dozens of black t-shirts, black leggings, black tank tops & when I folded them, I could not figure out what was what? I have now realized to fold with the tag up. Next, which was the hardest part, I gave my grown kids all of the things I felt I needed to hang onto. I let them choose to let go or keep! Ugg! Just suggestions....I also attach memories to every item & had to just let go.....its not a easy process!

      Just to add on to my annoying long message. I had a extensive collection of Precious Moments, Barbie's & Beanie Babies! I thought maybe my Kids or Grandkids would appreciate them, but NO! Only look, but not touch! Why have I let these "things" consume my space? I have listed & sold several & intend on selling the rest! It has been a emotionally process, but I also feel very free of clutter in my personal space!

    Hi Lori - What a great job you've done! I went through my things about 6 weeks ago and it feels wonderful. You may find that you decide to get rid of even more when the seasons change and you realize how few things you actually wore.
    My favorite part of my clean out was folding all my cashmere sweaters with tissue paper. It gives me enormous pleasure (sparks joy) to hear the crackling of the paper when I pull one out!
    Stay safe. Love your videos.

Mine which are business casual I will donate to women’s shelters. I as well have multiple sizes especially I jeans. Alas most likely f my favorites are now way too big. My disability has caused me to lose quite a bit of wt. I would love to do clean out over few days but I have very limited mobility and endurance. One thing is for sure I have way too many clothes! Pretty much leggings and tee’s or sweaters now, that’s my “wardrobe”!😂😂Thanks for sharing!! ❤️❤️❤️

      @@LorisBostonFound Thanks! I was 5'4' & very unhappy with myself. Decided to start walking daily - no excuses. And I stopped diet coke, fast food, and junk. I put it all in a journal. And made it a big priority. I was in grad school - and decided this has to be my #1 goal - second to the MA. I did both! I still walk -- finished a lot of 5k races. But it's all about being honest with yourself & deciding you are worth it. The weight loss was huge for my health & self esteem. All programs work when you follow them. But it's the goal setting, the discipline & knowing you can do it. Not so much about 'the food'. Head up & move forward! Stay well!

    You are so brave for tackling this. Inspiring. Unfortunately, my pile will be MUCH bigger. I have clothes I wore in high school down in basement...I am 56! I worked retail most of my adult life and a “bargain” hunter (many new-with-tags-not really a bargain). Amazing job! I am “essential” worker so not trapped in house but hoping to tackle this soon. Thanks for sharing this project.😎

    I heard you mention the fab5 I believe it was. Do you ever source from those. Or any of the other monthly boxes stitch fix or anything or do you get for personal use? Just being nosey. I want to but I want to for business opportunities if it is worth it. Of course I may have to use some thing prior to listing haha.

    Hiya Lori, funny I’ve been using the “Kon Mari” method of folding clothes since a teenager as I’ll fully admit I keep my clothes forever☺️! It’s come in handy as I love vintage so much & still fit all my stuff from HS. Don’t be jealous; being this tiny comes w/ a whole other set of probs! Besides you’re average sized, I dislike the fashion industry making up fake numbers for clothing; there was no size 0 or 1 until the 2000’s, we got 3’s in late 90s, my vintage 70s size 7/8’s are the exact same size! I’d kill (ok not quite, I’d break thru walls🤣) to have just *one* closet the size of your 1 bedroom closet- I think all 3 (including linen) closets together in this old house wouldn’t be as big! Doing loads of cleaning, taught myself to [finally] crochet a granny square, going on loads of long walks, read 10 books (I don’t do anything slow except go down stairs for fear of breaking the other side of my face😜). I get claustrophobic easily & the rebel in me wants the option to go where I please even if I’m not interested... if that makes any sense! Good job! I hope you & your family are well! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️

    • @LorisBostonFound
      @LorisBostonFound  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I may have a big closet but you have NYC Jet! I'd love to have a place in the city! So many places to find adventure, and my guess is you have found your share of fun through the years!! What was your favorite book? I started Little Fires Everywhere...it's pretty good!! Stay safe on your long walks!

    Wow!!! Such a great job! Girl you were busy with that mountain of clothes that was almost as tall as you. That was inspiring to watch! ❤️❤️❤️ well I started to jump head first into reselling on posh/eBay/Mercari a few months ago before quarantine started all while working full time and thank god i did because I’ve been out Of work for over 2 weeks now. I have rebranded, opened an actual eBay store instead Of just selling on my old eBay acct. I’ve been working almost daily photographing, listing and selling. Most of my sales have been on eBay and Mercari. Luckily I had a lot of hard goods that had accumulated that I’ve been able to work through for eBay especially. But that has kept me sane so far. I guess until I run out of inventory anyway. I have bought a couple of mystery boxes to help with the clothing listings some good some not. It’s trial and error when it’s a mystery. Lol. I’m inspired to go back through my closet again after watching your video! Love your content and vibe!! 💜💜

    I have a hard time getting rid of clothing too! I have these items new with tags that I’ve had in my closet for years but I keep them thinking I’m gonna wear this. Another year passes & I never wear the lol. I just cleared out my closet room (we converted a bedroom into my closet) & got rid of a lot of lower end brands. I use to work at H&M so I had a lot of that & Forever 21 (I’m a shopaholic so I had A LOT lol) most is getting donated I put up some interesting pieces I had but most are not worth the time to list. I could probably go back through my closet again & get rid of half of it but I’m not ready yet lol

      @LorisBostonFound  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Liya!I do use a label printer. I have two actually! The one I use the most is called Phomemo. It's fast and affordable. I also use a Dymo Label 4XL which I also like, but it's kind of quirky at times...but the print quality is better than the Phomemo. The Phomemo uses labels that sit in back of the printer, the Dymo has a roll you place inside the machine. If you go to my Amazon store which is linked below I have them both in my recommendations. Or, link in my Instagram bio...I have a direct link to the Phomemo site. Thanks for watching! xo
