- Remember that time I got a desk makeover?
(uptempo dance music) How cute it is!
Then, Freddie made over her bedroom.
- [Devin] Oh my god, this is a damn palace!
- [Jen] Whoa, look at-
- Well now, we're circling back to my closet because...
(dramatic horror music)
I'm drowning!
It's Ladylike and I'm getting a closet makeover!
(upbeat music)
Obviously, there are tons of videos on YouTube
of people getting their closets organized.
I know Safiya and Gabbie Hanna
have had their closets professionally organized.
Michelle Khare had her car organized.
So, this is like obviously a very common topic
that a lot of people have done.
But that doesn't mean that I don't also still need,
desperately, a revival of my space
that I cannot function in.
Originally, why we kind of focused on organizing my spaces
is I have the kind of OCD where I really have a tough time
separating from my objects.
The reason for that is because I associate
stability with objects.
So, when people take away my objects, I get very anxious
and, obviously, it's not extreme
but it is quite bad.
But, what that means is that I tend to live in spaces
where tons of shit is clustered around me
because it takes a lot of emotional energy
for me to get rid of things.
But what that that also means is that I live
in a tiny space full of stuff.
It's like little sausage full of meat!
It's just meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat,
meat, meat, meat. (Kristin laughs loudly)
I feel like I just did a closet Purge
like six months ago and we're back.
We're back at capacity.
Like, what is happening?
I really would not be someone who would do this
unless, I was being forced to do it for a video.
So, this is very good for me.
The main goals. (bell dings)
I need to get rid of a lot of stuff I'm not using.
I need to find a place for everything to live.
And, I want everything to look neat and orderly
and pretty when it's organized.
- [Freddie] All right! - Yeah.
- [Freddie] Ready to do this?
- ♪ I'm ready to do this! ♪
- [Freddie] Brian's happy?
- ♪ Brian's so ready to do this! (Freddie laughs) ♪
- Hey, Kristin! - Hi!
- I'm Thea, nice to meet you.
- So nice to meet you!
- I am a stylist and I'm a professional organizer.
So, I like to make people as efficient as possible
on their daily life.
So, I asked you to categorize.
So, did we do that?
- So, what I did was I categorized all my clothes...
- Yes. - The way that I generally use them.
So, I'm putting my clothes into piles
per the instructions and it's a little overwhelming.
(Kristin laughs)
My clothes sort of fit into things I wear to Disneyland,
things I wear to work, extremely special
occasion outfits, pajamas,
stuff I don't want.
Look at all these piles! (Kristin laughs loudly)
Ohh!
Brian came home to help me because I got overwhelmed.
- Hello, I'm helping!
- Welcome to my home!
- [Thea] It's lovely.
- [Kristin] It's full of stuff.
- [Thea] That's okay, that's why we're here.
So, tell me about yourself a little bit.
- Things are stable.
- Okay. - They are always going to be there
whereas like maybe people and places won't. (Kristin laughs)
I also live in a pretty small space so it's difficult
for me to know where to put things a lot of the time.
I have so many candles.
- Right. - I don't want them out all the time
but what do I do with them?
- I'm the same. I'm a little bit of a hoarder. - Mm-hmm.
- But there's a reason for every single thing I keep.
For example, let's say candles. - Mm-hmm.
- So once we gather all the candles together. - Mm-hmm
- You'll say, "Okay, cool. Do I really need twenty candles?"
Right? I'm also obsessed with not wasting things.
So, let's say we can take the candles,
let's use them as decor, you can re-gift it.
- Fred's birthday is coming up!
(Freddie and Kristin laughs loudly) (bell dings)
- It won't be so hard to get rid of it
because you'll see that it's being used
and not just thrown out.
- I feel that way in my bones.
- Right.
Clothing is like 40% of the problem,
the 60% is the organizations.
There's a home for every single thing.
- Hmm.
- First thing we're going to do is walk around
and you're going to tell me the categories. - Mm-hmm.
- And then, from there I think we're going
to start with the closet.
I'm going to see how much space you have.
Then, we're going to go shopping
and then we're going to come back.
And then, we're going to find a home
for all the awesome things you have!
- Oh! - You excited?
- I am!
- I'm so excited for you.
- So, welcome to my closet space!
- Thank you, I absolutely love it.
- It's still a little of a pit
but it's less of a pit than before.
It's a diet pit!
- I mean, I see you've moved out a lot so I like it.
- So, what do you think we should start doing in here?
- I think we should use all of this space for your dresses
because you did say most of your clothes is dresses.
So, I think this would make the most sense.
At the bottom, because of the different
heights of your dresses, we'll use it as storage.
And then, on this wall I was thinking to just get
like nails or something because it is cork.
Then, you can just hang all your hats here
so it's easy to grab.
So, I'm going to measure just to see
what we're working with.
You always want to measure before you start.
- Oh, that's good.
- A lot of people just like to just get things.
- Ooh, six feet of shelf!
- And you also want to always measure like literally
as much as you can.
You also want to get more container stuff than less
because then, you have options to like... - Yeah.
We're making closet Jenga.
We want choices. - Literally, exactly.
So, this is going to be your laundry area
and a lot of storage and bins and that kind of stuff.
- Right. - Potentially jewelry, we'll see.
You want the laundry in two different sections
because people usually do laundry once a week.
I'm guessing... - Yes!
- Yeah? Okay, perfect.
( Kristin laughs) The idea is that now you'll have all
that space open. - All good.
- So, let's go to the next section.
- Great! - Yeah.
- So, this is my desk area.
- Is there a reason why you have six of these?
- So, these are my six Ponchos.
- Thank you for having this because you just proved
my point which is once you're organized,
- Uh-huh. - You will actually be able to find the one
and you won't have to buy it again.
- [Kristin] This is normally where a lot of
my clothes live anyway.
- Okay, so this would be like your to-go pile.
Do you use the desk?
- I should use the desk.
- See if we can move your husband's dresser...
- Uh-huh.
- Here. - Oh!
- And that way, you guys could actually
get through on both ends of the bed
and you can get a bigger bed.
- We need to get a bigger bed. - 'Cause I think
that's what you wanted anyway.
- I want a bigger bed!
- Bigger bed! - Uh-huh.
- Only if you just get rid of one tiny thing
that's really old and that you never use.
- I like it! - So, I think I measured everything
that I need.
We're going to go to a container store tomorrow
and see what you like, what you don't like.
You know, try to make it pretty.
- Great!
- Yet, functional.
- Great, sounds good. - Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- We are at The Container Store.
- Yay, we made it!
- Time to start shopping
for stuff to put all my stuff into.
Let me show you what I already have.
(upbeat techno music)
I grabbed two of these.
- You have two of those.
Okay, perfect.
(upbeat techno music)
Good! - All right, we're ready.
- [Freddie] Are you done?
- I think so. - Yeah, we're done.
Let's roll! - [Freddie] All right, let's go check out!
- So Thea's plan was to take everything out of both
my closet and my bedroom.
And then, put it in boxes so it could be organized
by categories and then we put everything back
once they had little places
for all those categories to live.
- Okay, so we're all at Kristin's house.
This is what the living room and stuff looks like right now
because everything has been moved out of her bedroom.
- So, originally my desk was in my bedroom.
So we took my desk out of my bedroom and that left us
more room for the little shelves that lived in my closet.
Originally, we went into this thinking that we were going
to organize my closet but what ended up happening
is that we organized both my closet and the bedroom.
And, the reason for that is because obviously so much
of my storage is in my bedroom so it didn't make sense
to organize one ecosystem and then, just ignore
a nearby toxic ecosystem that could tamper
the good, clean FernGully ecosystem
that was going to be my new closet.
- Now, there's a lot happening in here.
- Uh-huh. - How's it going?
How are you feeling?
- A little stressed, lot's of stuff. - Yeah.
- I was like, "Where is all my stuff going to live?"
Packed everywhere, (Freddie laughs) who knows?
I think doing it with a bunch of people made it easier
'cause it kind of kept me on task.
- [Freddie] How many pairs of ears do you have?
- I think I have like ten.
Nine.
- [Freddie] Nine?
- Oh, there's a tenth somewhere
but I don't know where it is.
I kind of hold up something and be like,
"Should I keep this?"
And there was always someone around me to be like,
"No, Throw it away."
As opposed to if I just did it with me, it would be like,
"Can I keep this?"
"Yes!"
"Okay!" (Kristin laughs)
So, we avoided the Gollum situation by having
people around me to help me clean.
We found some pictures of us at VidCon.
- So cute! When was this 2017?
- Yeah, it's 2017.
- Wow! Okay, we're keeping these.
- Yeah, we have to keep these obviously. - [Freddie] Yeah.
So now, we are going to organize and get things
in piles and start hanging the clothes back up
on the new hangers.
And, get everything ready and done for Friday.
- [Kristin] There was stuff everywhere
for like, I would say, 95% of the day.
- We are- how many hours into organizing?
Probably three and a half to four hours.
And this is sort of where we are right now.
- We're on track.
We could actually be done by tomorrow, I think.
- I was able to give a lot of my clothes away
pretty fast which was nice 'cause now I know
they have nice new homes and someone
else is enjoying them.
A lot got done today.
- When we're shopping- Oh!
- Do I have dust in my hair? - Yep!
(Freddie and Kristin laughs)
Got rid of stuff?
- Got rid of stuff.
We've moved stuff around.
We started hanging things up.
- And then, tomorrow we'll finish everything off!
- Oh my gosh, it's happening!
It's one of those things where the beginning was slow
and then everything happened really quickly all at once.
(upbeat drum playing)
- [Freddie] Okay, so ladies we are six hours into Day 4.
- Yes! - [Freddie] This is supposed to be the last day.
- Yes! - [Freddie] We have about three more
hours left to work.
- Yes! - [Freddie] How are we feeling?
- I feel like we're in the moment right before
everything kind of slots into place.
- Yeah. - [Freddie] Yeah.
- What she said. (Freddie and Thea laugh)
(upbeat drum playing)
- Welcome to your new room!
- Wow!
My goodness!
(bright music) There's so much space. - [Thea] I know.
- [Kristin] The bedroom is navigable.
For the first time probably in like a year.
- So when you walk in, this is going to be your to-go pile.
When you come home and you don't have time to put
anything away and you don't know what to do.
- [Krisitn] Just put it there. - You put it here.
Because then you'll know whatever you're missing-
- Is right there. - is always there.
- [Kristin] The vanity is very good.
Actually, it's really helpful to be like,
"Here's my mirror. Here's my makeup. Here's everything."
- [Thea] This is your little jewelry stand.
- I also like my little hooks on the wall for my necklaces,
next door to the vanity and also, now I can see
all my earrings at a glance.
The jewelry organization was a game changer.
- What I like to do is I actually like to take
all of these off because the problem is these fall
out then this falls out and that's how you lose them.
- Mm-hmm. - So, that's why I have all of the backs together
and, you know... - Got it!
It's cool because basically you've used
of what is normally a lipstick holder and turned
it into an earring holder.
So, the laundry system actually utilizes my old
bookcase to pre-sort all my laundry for me by both
color and type of washing required.
- We got the darks, the lights, the dark wash, light wash.
- At first you're like, "Why do I need to devote
all this space to laundry?"
But actually, the laundry system like whips!
It's good.
- Do you want to walk into your closet now? - Yes!
Let's go in the closet.
- [Thea] Yay! - [Kristin] Wooh!
The closet!
So, the way that my closet is oriented now,
the shoes are up-top.
At the rack level, we have my red carpet
stuff on the far left.
Then we have jackets.
Then we have Disney clothes,
and then below Disney clothes we have containers
for my Disney purses, Disney lanyards, stuff like that.
- When you're getting dressed, you always want to pull
out the clothes. - Yeah.
- That you're about to wear - Mm-hmm.
- You take the clothes off. - Mm-hmm.
- You put it on. - Mm-hmm.
- And then, you take the hanger and you place it here.
- Hmm. - As the point is you want to know exactly which
section to go to. - Yeah!
Honestly, I think overall it's really nice.
The room just feels cleaner and brighter and navigable.
And not just like, "Oh my god! Here's all my stuff."
(Kristin laughs) It used to be that I was kind of treating
my room like a big closet but now everything's
organized so I don't have to use it
as a place for storage, for whatever it is that I find.
Thank you so much, Thea!
- Anytime. - This is so awesome.
I feel like we've really like we're able to maximize
the small amount of space that I have in a way
it's really effective.
But I'm really super excited that we made such good use
of my beautiful little home.
Getting a closet and bedroom makeover...
- Lady tested.
- Lady renewed!
(Kristin and Thea cheers)
We did it!
