I think when you’re all finished with Dani’s house you should start all over again for the second pass because I don’t know how we’re gonna live without her content. Or she should start a vlog channel. That’s my honest opinion.
Maybe she can just follow April around to other projects and bring her pets 😂
Totally here for a second pass too! 😂 guna miss Dani!
Second pass is a great idea! Especially after a month of living in the new organization, and then come back to see what’s working, and what else to get rid of
Yes please to a second pass ❤
ikr, feel like hanging out with friends. this duo is the best
Okay, April, I just HAVE to make this suggestion: Please consider moving the microwave/snack shelf next to the fridge, while switching places with the glass mug cabinet so that it’s next to the baking table! That way, the black appliances are all next to each other, and Dani’s pretty glassware, Starbucks cups and mugs will be more visible from the entire side of the glass cabinet. (It seems odd to have a glass-sided curio smashed between two opaque things.) The reddish color of the cabinet will also go nicely with the red mixer! And, additionally, this will create a stair-step down in height from the corner, with the fridge as the high-point.
Thank you for (hopefully) considering my suggestion 😂
As an organization freak, I LOVE this series!
-Ellen
I may try this out!
I was thinking the same! I think it would look so good! 😊
Me too. Great people think alike 😊
Yes, thank you. I knew something wasn't feeling right. The glass cabinet just feels out of place.
But that way, the baking ingredients will be further away from the baking area. I actually think that the whole cabinet is odd there but at the same time is in the best available space.
"If I want my students to listen, I have to listen" is the most valuable sentence of today's video to me.
True story!
2 ears, one mouth. That means we should listen twice as much as we talk!
Am I the only one in awe of how the cleaning cart fit so perfectly behind the white baking station? That there was organizational magic😂
So satisfying
Yes, that was magic!!! I had to rewatch several times because I thought that was designed as one piece, I'm still confused. Then I had to go to the comments to look for this comment.😅 I want that now!
Oh, you’re wearing the shirt your student designed, it looks very nice. The colour is perfect for you ❤
@@proud2bnumber1Yes, I love how that fit together. It was made in heaven. I especially love Dani's face when she looked at it and was like Omg!!! 😮
The cleaning cart tuck was soooooo satisfying!
Right?!
Seriously!
Pure genius ❤
Absolutely genius!!
Yes, that was magic!!! I had to rewatch several times because I thought that was designed as one piece, I'm still confused. Then I had to go to the comments to look for this comment. I want that now!
For the little whale mug / cup - use it to store toothpicks in for testing baked goods! It's got a lid so they'll stay clean and it'll be useful decor
What a nice idea
If you mean the green one next to the sink it's a butter dish
Said it before, saying again, the more you declutter and organize, the more sweet Dani GLOWS!! She smiles rays of accomplishments!
You can see the burden lift from her shoulders!👀
It's so exciting to see her excitement!!! She is absolutely glowing.
And, she is taking more initiative in making decisions without waiting for April's suggestions 😊❤
@@Brigitte_Cantinlike the organized student that she's becoming. 🙂 I'm learning so much from this. I need to really tackle every room this way.
"An organizational mullet"! LOL
I really did laugh out loud to that! I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything right at that moment! 🤣
YES! "an organisational mullet" is perfect !!!! LOVE it :D
This series is one of my favorites. You guys work so well together. (Now if you could just talk Danni out of all those word magnets on the fridge, lol)
Bahahahahaha
Please Dani! Find another home for the magnets!
@@SpaceMakerMethod Maybe she could remove all magnets and just put back up the pictures that are the most joyful?
Yes. Have her put them all together and take a picture of them. 👍
I don’t normally like fridge magnets, but I do like the word ones on Dani’s fridge. It’s like a chaotic poem
I would still need to declutter about 50% more stuff to feel calm, but I can appreciate that for Dani, this is her limit. You have a gift helping INDIVIDUALS meet their needs.
Omg. Pez dispenser for Lactaid tablets. Hilariously creative, even if she ultimately didn't do it
😁
When you end Dani's series, you should show a before and after of each area/room. Dani has been a delight to watch. You can see the heaviest being lifted from Dani with each declutter. I hope that you may do a follow-up with Dani in the coming year to check on her progress with decluttering and organization. Love ❤️ Dani's personality.
Yes! I am missing bevor and after pics! I find them so satisfying 😅
Despite the clutter, i really love the overall mood of her house.
She has a lot of neat stuff and a great style. She should have a channel where she does the second pass and rearrangea her furniture.
@@smarterthanawaffle Exactly!
I adore her fun-loving personality !💕
Next to your parents’ house, this is my favorite decluttering series. So relatable.
I LOVE April's mom. Maybe we need a reunion with all our favorite characters all together and having fun 😅
AGREE! Both really great series that keep me wanting more 💜
I love that she's wearing the shirt her student sent her ❤
Maybe you could schedule seasonal updates with Dani - she could be a series regular!
Absolutely nothing wrong with curated maximalism! Enjoy all your favourite things and breathe easier in an organized space Dani! ❤
I literally just decluttered an entire BINS worth of shoes because of the last Dani video. My kitchen is going to be nrxt, and I will absolutely be using this as inspiration!
I really like these videos, it feels more like two friends decluttering rather than an expert and a novice. And I relate to Dani on a professional and spiritual level 😭
Dani has did a great job decluttering her kitchen. It is looking so good. I am going to miss Danis decluttering series.
Me too!!
I hope she does a second pass series in a couple of months. She do so good and y'all are so much fun to watch. I can't wait until the reveal!
Second pass!
Second pass!
I know Dani doesn't want to clear off her refrigerator, but if she could just start with removing the tiny white words my OCD would be really thankful! lol! My fridge was also cluttered with magnets and those little word things ( which by the way no one ever used) until one day I decided to clean them off and I have zero regrets.😊 You will be surprised at the sense of calm it will bring to your kitchen.
Just a clean fridge door would be lovely. 😍
Please Dani and April!! 🙏🙏🙏 Just the tiny white words would be phenomenal!! You can do it Dani!! Doing wonderful!! ❤🎉
We have all the fridge magnets my inlaws collected on their extensive travels. The magnets used to live on their rumpus room fridge and bothered no one. Now I'm forever knocking them off. A few would be OK but not all of them.
I've been thinking about this...maybe Dani could get a magnetic message board to hang above her baking station and when her friends come over to drink up her booze, they could write messages using the fridge "words" and put them on the magnetic board? At any rate, job well done ladies, the place is looking and functioning so much better :)
I love the magnets! Please keep them! Of course they look chaotic, but they are charming and remind me of Danis personality and they don't take up a lot of space. They can be a reminder of the "old house" without actually being "real clutter".
I think, an investment into a good wall of kitchenfurniture, that uses all the wallspace on the refrigerator and baking side, as well as a small dishwasher underneath the sink would improve Dani’s life a lot. She really loves so many activities around the kitchen and I guess she spends a lot of time in it. But right now, it seems to me, like finding space for what makes her happy, doing the dishes and other not so funny stuff takes a lot of valueble time too, she could spend enjoying baked goods and more coffee instead. And the furniture mix creates a lot of unused space and makes organizing complicated. I wouldn’t splurge on any other furniture in this apartment, but I think the kitchen would really be worth it
I think the mixture of furniture she has is something she likes, that makes it Dani.
I am so excited for Dani to be finished but also, I’m gonna miss her so much!
Same!
This is one of my favorite decluttering series. Thank you for taking us with you, Dani!
I love that she's wearing the top that her student made for her!
Every episode Dani looks so much lighter and happier ❤ power of a curated space
A valuable lesson learned is for her to not have too many closed containers. Out of sight, out of mind. Excellent job on the kitchen!
That's me, I don't store anything in a cardboard or something not see-through because if I don't see it -- it does not exist.
The fit of the cleaning cart was sooooooooooo satisfying... my jaw literally dropped... definitely worthy of that happy dance!
I recognise a more gentle declutter going on here with a maximalist. More of an organisation of collections. It suits Dani perfectly.
It would be interesting to revisit in a year to see how things are going. Eunice never made much effort to maintain much less improve and your mom continued to make progress so it would be interesting to see how Dani would do after a year on her own post declutter.
Dani dancing for joy after the cleaning cart slides away 🎉🎉 I love waking up to coffee & Dani every week ❤
The best!
We are all personally involved with her success in decluttering and organizing. 💓
@@colleenpeck6347 Team Dani! 📣
Blitz it! Dani is a Champion!
That was quite a transformation in what seemed like a small amount of time. Must have been noticeably calmer to come home to after work for Dani.
Can't wait to see more. Life changing!
I was waiting for this video all day, you DO NOT know how many times I've refreshed your page already waiting for the new video to pop up lol!
OMG THANK YOU! Hope you like the episode! We usually try to have them out on the hour (8 minutes prior to this time for wherever you're located).💛
@@SpaceMakerMethod Ohh you're welcome, and thanks for letting me know, now I know what time to tune in every Sunday 💛
I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Dani and seeing the progress she has made. She is so open to suggestions and such a fun person.
I'm so glad that Daji is aware that she is a visual organizer. That will help her tremendously to keep everything neat.
Limiting collections is not a bad thing. It was my 2nd task when I started decluttering 18 months ago to sort my pottery collection. I'm limited to a window sill, a shelf and a sideboard. I'd been buying things whenever I saw anything remotely in my taste, but it was very satisfying to pare it down to a more curated collection, and I haven't bought anything since. I love every item I have, but tbh I could get rid of 3/4 of that if I really had to.
As a fellow Dani i am loving this series so much! Been motivating me to declutter too
I want this series to go on forever... 😸
The cleaning cart behind the shelves, wow it’s absolutely perfect. Well done Dani on letting go of so much more stuff you are absolutely amazing and give me hope that I can let stuff go too. I’m kinda glad ye didn’t finish because I’m really going to miss this series. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️🙇♀️👏👏👍💪🙏💐🐈🐶
I love the Dani vibe!!!
Okay I watched the whole Dani series... I love her... she is so great
Normally I like declutter videos without talking, but these videos are different and so much fun to watch 😊
Great job! The microwave’s new home is perfect. Huge improvement! 👏
Noo get rid of the drink dispenser! 😂
PLEASE just TRY cleaning off the whole front of the fridge. You will be AMAZED at how good it feels and looks! It will change the WHOLE kitchen!
I’ve been decluttering for years now. (Saying and not doing) 😂 I have finally tackled my closet and it’s 50% done. I let go a lot, but when I looked at my closet the second round, I feel like I can let go more.
It’s like peeling an onion, one layer at a time
Just for asthetics I would move the red cabinet towards the living room, so the order would be (from wall): bar cart, fridge, cupboard with microwave etc, baking station (cleaning cart would fit under it from the front, i think), then red cabinet.
I just think, that the red cabinet would be a good transition piece and nice to look at.
I like the clean simply look where the baking station and tucked cleaning cart are. The red cabinet would just bring back the cluttered look.
I agree. The red cabinet would be part living room/ part kitchen, so it would work well being where the 2 rooms meet.
I like how realistic Dani’s clutter is. We all have expired bits and bobs hiding away somewhere. Unless you’re super organized haha
I love this series so much. Can't wait fir a second pass to see how much she declutters, next. I keep doing another pass each week as maintenance and it gets easier each time. I find more peace with each pass through. I am excited for her to declutter all the alcohol. I, myself, would dump any alcohol, I am not currently using. That is alot to hold onto in such a shall space.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
It’s great to see Dani’s progress. Looking so good and keeps getting better. Paring down what we haven’t used in ages is an important reminder! 😊
petition for Dani to build a long thin shelf along the top left wall to display the starbucks collection!
The way I RAN to this video as soon as I woke up!! I have been loving this series and seeing how you two work together 🩵🩵 you’re both killing it!
The slow pan to the mixer was gold🤣 Dani is doing an amazing job!!!
Wow wow wow! I think I say that every week Dani you must be thrilled to see all your stuff ready to use! Your banter has helped me think through some of my organizational needs. out of sight is lost in my house!
New subscriber. Love the organization of what Dani wants to keep. April is so supportive in keeping what Dani wants. When I had help decluttering 20 years of collecting, the help had an agenda in mind. Im not a minimalist. I like having my stuff at arms reach.
Watching you two work together is such a pleasure. No stress or pressure. Dani, thank you for allowing your decluttering to be filmed and shared. Very inspiring, for me.
You do the most relatable declutter. I've been following this one since dat 1. I learned that I'm an ADHD cluttered and fear hoarder.
Slow decluttering is the way for me: no time pressurre and no anxiety, yet firm stride forwards. Doing good with your help via this series!❤🎉
I loved at the 17:40 ish mark you asked Dani to "decide what to keep." This is so much more helpful than "What else can I get rid of?"
Have loved this series so much!
Don’t want this series to end!! Great job Dani!!
Dani's face and her delayed processing of how the cleaning cart tucked perfectly is absolutely priceless, that might have been my favorite moment of the series!
so proud of Dani she has an amazing personality and is doing so good, she also helps others with her confidence to take on their own homes but she also gives hope that anything is possible!! So excited for her !!
Wow!! I love the Baking Station!! As soon as I finish watching a dani video I go and declutter a different area of my cottage 😂
I’ve watched a lot of decluttering videos but Dani’s are my favorite. This is the most down to earth declutter I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad I’ve been here for this because I’ve learned a lot. I like the fact that April is not pushing her to get rid of stuff that is actually important to Dani. It’s rare in declutter videos. I’ve seen the look in people’s eyes where they’re heartbroken about getting rid of something that has meaning. It’s sad. For example I have a pair of pants my dad bought me when I was a teenager. They’re not fashionable, I’d never wear them but when I see them they bring back those memories of my dad being supportive of my personal style for the first time. We all have objects that mean something and to just blindly say get rid of it is crazy to me. So I’m happy to be here watching Dani’s journey.
Carla's Closet is fun also. She helps her best friend from childhood declutter to move to California.
It's called Carla Project.
@dia9491 maybe you could make a pillow from the jeans as Erica Lucas has made of her favourite jacket! If it's something you are never going to wear, at least that way you'll enjoy it more! ☺
She is really making decisions quick! I love when she says “I don’t really need it.”
Love these videos. I think Danny should live with no magnets on her fridge for one month and then see if she wants to put them back.
Lucy doesn't like the mike cause the fluffy part is called a "dead cat".... she knows. 😊😂 Such a satisfying day of decluttering!! This one got my mind whirling to do some deep decluttering of my own!!! Well done Dani!❤❤🎉And as always well done April! 🥰❤️
👏👏👏😊. It’s amazing to see April gently guide Dani to an efficient, easier, charming maximalist home she can be proud of and maintain control of, have peace in and to maximize her real, now, living in. AND AMAZING to see Dani have so many moments of self awareness and understanding of the big picture AND seeing her ability to declutter grow every session!!! So inspiring!! Thank you for sharing this journey! I have to agree that a second pass everywhere would actually be soooooooo helpful, just like it was for your Mom, April. Now that Dani is seeing and feeling how having less inventory to manage, clean, think about, worry about, pay for space for and keep track of can give her more time, money, space, head space and freedom to do things she loves in her more streamlined but beautifully Dani style home she would probably see so much more she would want to declutter. Especially when everything just fits and feels pretty full now. That makes it almost impossible to maintain for her since we naturally all accumulate stuff literally every day and it needs space to go and we need the skills to move things out at the same rate they come in. The biggest challenge! Anyway….GREAT series. 😊
I would love that you come for a second round after a while. I think you could do even a greater change. You always say it needs a few rounds.
glad this kitchen declutter has five parts bc i am going to miss dani's series!
i literally prefer to watch this instead of movies or shows 😅😂
Love how the teas and the medicines were together. Kind of clever
"Calm & Contained"--the Space Maker Method way!🧡
Out of the series so far this is my favorite. Looking at before and after pictures it finally looks like you're making good progress.
I love that the wicker basket was a foreshadowing of how Dani would end up organizing her tea/coffee (on left) and medicines (on right) in the cabinet!
Dani, I’m loving what you two have accomplished. So your homework is to wash the dishes and put them away. I think that will start to help you feel so much more organized. But I’m giving you a gold star ⭐️ for all your hard work. You are awesome!
I'm going to miss Dani after this series. Maybe you could collaborate on other projects with her 😊
Give this girl some bins, it makes organization so much easier
Excellent day’s work! Dear Ricki, she’s adorable 🥰
I love the way you both are so positive and supportive! Friend energy! ❤
Hello, to make it more visually organized, you could exchange the order of the red shelf with the furniture that contains the microwave. This way the darkest and heaviest piece of furniture would be visually together with the refrigerator and the lightest part near the baking table
Those pop tart coasters are adorable! Loving this series, I’m getting inspired to declutter as well :)
Once things are more manageable, you'll be able to have friebds over more so they can help going through the alcohol and crisps Dani! Also i've been eyeing that coffee table since the firat eoisode, it's gorgeous. So glad it's a permanently clear surface so you can really enjoy the rich wood.
I love that Dani is wearing the shirt her student designed.
Hope there are spots for the dishes being washed.
Great progress!
Organizing a kitchen is such a challenge, especially if it’s a small space. Recently had to combine two kitchens worth of stuff and we totally changed the layout of what was in the cabinets and it’s nice having dishes near the dishwasher and spices and the food near the stove, coffee\tea and mugs all together about the coffee maker. It took a whole Sunday and making a mess on the dining table and counters but we fit it all together! Dani’s kitchen is one of the best transformations, fantastic job ladies!
Such brilliant progress, multiple high fives!! Love the dedicated baking station. Trying to manifest a clean fridge door, please universe send Dani a sign 😂
YAY! Another day with Dani! Looking great April and Dani. Great team.
April patience of steel! Great progress
The blouse look very nice on you, Dani. Really!
I love that shirt her student designed!
I love April and Dani so much ❤ thanks for encouraging me through my declutter journey too
Wonderful!
This was funny and cute, and relatable. She did great with the decluttering! It looks amazing now, and she can enjoy her collection 😍 so happy for her. Your guidance is so positive and kind, and effective!
❤
An organizational mullet. Priceless!
FYI, ground coffee is better than baking soda for absorbing fridge odors. I learned this after a power failure. Good use for old coffee and smells good too.
I work a weird schedule and never remember what day it is besides work day or not work day, and the way I squealed realizing it's a Sunday was unnatural. Woohoo!
WOW, such a difference, well done Danni!!!❤Love that baking station, and how the cleaning rack fits so well in there too.
I love Dani and her episodes so much! I wake up every Sunday with excitement just to watch her episodes!
Everything is very beautiful and what a change. 🤩When I watch you do it, I really want to remove all the hundreds of words on the fridge. 🤭I dream about it!!! 😂
I'd have to clear it off completely.
Love Dani’s space because I’m a maximalist too. I love my stuff but if it all disappeared I’d be happy to get new so it’s the idea of stuff I’m most attached to. This also fits with my discomfort with too much emptiness. I will need to do the one in, one out rule if I can ever get the massive mess pruned to my space. Truthfully when I have energy to work on it getting rid of things is easy. That might be because having crossed into my 60’s I finally know what really makes me happy and that there’s not all that many decades to keep reinventing myself
I'm not a minimalist, nor a maximalist, but I did a whole house declutter a couple of years ago. I think some of the things I took away from it were that I can keep my collections, but they have to fit within a certain space. If I want to add to them, I need to decide what I can let go of. Also, you can have as much stuff as you like, as long as it has a sensible home. I happen to like a lot less stuff in my home than Dani, but that's just me.
Going to miss Dani. She’s such a lively person. 😘
This was SO satisfying to watch and so relatable, like real people live! Love it, thanks Dani and April.
I’ve just found your channel and binge watched Dani, this was so cathartic and I’m motivated to tackle my own forgotten treasures now.
The brown basket with the two lids, that's a spare toilet paper roll holder. Set on top of your toilet tank with two rolls inside.
Repeating from my comment in the previous video in the series:
Leave space at the rear and off any side vent of the microwave to allow heated air to escape. This is necessity for SAFETY.
You should place a half-inch thick length of wood at the rear of the MW wide enough to align the MW front to the edge of the shelf it's sitting on. That way it won't get pushed back inside the cabinet too far for safety's sake.
Love the channel and this series! A bit of feedback on the new channel formatting that I’ve been mulling raising for a while: the low color contrast of the light blue “info bubbles” with the white text throughout the newer videos is very hard to read for those of us with poorer vision. Please consider looking into using higher contrast color combo, thanks!
