AREA FOR LITTLE FIRE
ANTS.
IT'S THAT TIME OF
THE YEAR WHEN MANY
HUSBAND DO A LITTLE
SPRING CLEANING.
THAT INCLUDES ORGANIZING
OUR DRESSER AND CLOSET
BUT HOW CAN YOU DO THAT
IN A NEAT FASHION?
EXPERT JAY JOINS US NOW
WITH TIPS.
WELCOME BACK.
THANKS AGAIN FOR
HAVING US.
YOU WERE HERE LAST
WEEK.
WE TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT
ORGANIZATION BUT I WANT
TO GO INTO A LITTLE BIT
MORE BECAUSE A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE REALLY INTO
FOLDING AND ORGANIZING
BUT WE GOT START WITH
THE BASICS, HOW TO EVEN
FOLD AND ORGANIZE THINGS
BUT FIRST OF ALL, WHEN
YOU'RE DOING THAT, DO
YOU START OFF BY JUST
KIND OF TOSSING THINGS
AWAY AND DONATING THINGS
BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO
THE FOLDING?
WHAT I DO AND SIMILAR
TO WHAT'S REALLY POPULAR
RIGHT NOW, MARIE KONDO,
A LOT OF THE ORGANIZERS
ARE PUSHING YOU TO TAKE
EVERYTHING OUT, EMPTY
ALL YOUR DRAWS.
I WAS DOING MY GIRLS'
DRAWS, THESE ARE
LITERALLY CUBBIES FROM
MY DAUGHTER'S DRAWER.
I WILL START WITH THE
UNDER WEAR DRAWER AND
WORK DOWN.
ONCE WE FINISH PURGING,
THEN FILE, FOLDING TO
GET EVERYTHING NICE AND
NEAT.
THIS IS WHAT WE
SHOWED LAST WEEK.
BASICALLY PEOPLE FOLD
THEIR SHORTS AND SHIRTS
THIS WEEK SO YOU CAN SEE
THE PRINT AND GRAB THE
SHIRT.
TRADITIONALLY I THINK
WHEN WE FOLD AND STORE
CLOTHES, WE'RE GOING TO
FOLD IT AND STACK IT IN
OUR DRAWER.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
STACK, YOU CAN'T SEE
WHAT'S IN THERE SO THE
KIDS START PULLING STUFF
OUT AND THE SHIRT
BECOMES A MESS.
IF YOU FILE FOLD IT, NOW
THE KIDS CAN SEE ALL THE
PRINTS, THE COLORS,
EXACTLY WHAT'S IN THEIR
DRAWER.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO DIG
TO THE BOTTOM.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW WE FILE FOLD AND
IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT
THAN A TRADITIONAL FOLD.
WHAT I'M USED TO DOING
IS THE TRI- FOLD.
YOU FOLD OVER, FOLD YOUR
SLEEVE BACK, THE OTHER
SIDE.
TRADITIONALLY YOU WOULD
GO LIKE THIS.
ALL WE'RE ASKING YOU DO
IS I JUCIAL GO
TWO-THIRDS UP THE WAY.
WE'RE GOING TO FOLD THE
TOP DOWN AND THEN WE'RE
GOING TO BRING IT
TOGETHER AND GET THIS
NICE FILE SOLE IT'S NICE
AND FINISHED AND I CAN
SEE THE PRINT FROM THE
TOP WHEN I PUT IT IN.
I USE THESE GREAT BOXES.
THEY ARE FROM IKEA.
WHAT I DO IS I PUT THEM,
THEY FIT PERFECTLY.
THIS IS A MOM DRESSER
DRAWER, PUT THEM IN.
THEN WE'VE GOT THE TANK
TOPS, LEGGINGS.
I DIDN'T QUITE DARE TO
BRING UNDER WEAR BUT
NORMALLY I FILE FOLD
UNDER WAY AS WELL.
I THINK IT'S BEST TO
HAVE IT FOLDED SO YOU
CAN SEE AND NOT DIGGING
AND RUM AMING.
AM -- RUMMAGING.
MY UNDER WEAR DRAWER
IS OVERFLOWING.
WHEN WE DO LAUNDRY, I
FOLD IT, THEY COME, PICK
IT UP, THEIR JOB IS TO
PUT IT BACK.
FOR SHORTS AS WELL DO
YOU FIND OF FILE FOLD
THOSE AS WELL?
IT DEPENDS ON THE
TYPE OF SHORTS YOU'RE
FOLDING?
FOR MY GIRLS WHAT THEY
WILL DO BECAUSE THEY
FLAIR OUT AT THE BOTTOM,
I TUCK IT IN.
EVERYONE'S GOING TO
DIFFER AS WELL AS DRAW
SIDE.
I LEAVE EMPTY SPACE AS
YOU ALL NOTICE BECAUSE
ONE OF THE MAIN RULES IS
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO STAY
A LITTLE LESS THAN FULL.
WHEN YOU GET FULL,
THAT'S THE TIME THAT YOU
TAKE EVERYTHING OUT AND
YOU'RE GOING TO SORT.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY
MAJOR TIP FOR YOU.
WE ALSO HAVE TO
ORGANIZE OUR CLOSET
WHICH IS MORE THAN JUST
ABOUT CLOTHES, RIGHT?
IT'S A LOT OF THINGS.
IF WE START WITH, FOR
EXAMPLE, BAGS, CLUTCHES.
I LIKE TO USE A LOW
CUBBY.
THIS IS A BOX FROM IKEA.
THAT WAY I CAN SEE, IT'S
ALMOST SIMILAR LIKE A
FILE FOLDER TYPE STORAGE
SYSTEM.
I CAN SEE ALL MY BAGS IN
HERE WHEN I PICK IT OUT.
IN THIS BOX, I'VE GOT MY
HATS.
SO I PICK BINS FROM IKEA
BASED ON WHAT I NEED TO
STORE AND THAT WAY IT'S
ALL NICELY ON MY SHELVES
IN MY CLOSET.
WHEN IT COMES TO
HANGING, I'M REAL
SIMPLE.
I LIKE CLEAN, NO SLIP
HANGERS WHICH I THINK A
LOT OF PEOPLE LOCALLY
USE.
I THINK YOU CAN GET THEM
AT COSTCO.
THEY DON'T TAKE UP A LOT
OF SPACE.
THEY ARE LIGHTWEIGHT.
I USE THIS REALLY GREAT
ATTACHMENT.
IT'S JUST A NICE LITTLE
HANGER ATTACHMENT.
I BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY
HAS EVER HEARD A HOME.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
YOU CAN FIND THE
MATCHING TOP AND BOTTOM.
SOME OF MY RULES FOR THE
CLOSET ARE, I KNOW SOME
PEOPLE ARE INTO RAINBOW,
MAKING EVERYTHING COLOR
COORDINATED.
FOR ME I HAVE A MORE
MUTED PALATE.
PARTICULAR STYLES STAY
TOGETHER AND THAT WAY IN
THE MORNING WHEN I'M
GETTING READY, I KNOW
THESE ARE MY OPTIONS.
ANOTHER RULE FOR YOUR
CLOSET IS YOU DON'T WANT
TO FILL IT.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
THERE'S ROOM TO MOVE
AROUND AND THEN FOR
PANTS TO TAKE UP LESS
SPACE, I USE SOMETHING
LIKE THIS.
THERE'S THESE LITTLE
RINGS THAT ACTUALLY FOLD
IN AND OUT.
SO GREAT STORAGE.
YOU CAN PROBABLY DO
THAT FOR SKIRTS, FOR
BELTS, FOR TIES.
I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF
THE CLIPPED HANGERS.
I FEEL LIKE THEY USE
MARKS ON MY CLOTHES SO I
USE A LOT OF THE
HANGING.
I SEE WHAT I HAVE, EACH
PARTICULAR PANT HAS A
SPOT IN MY CLOSET.
I KNOW WHERE TO GO.
YOU TALKED A LOT
ABOUT IKEA.
TALK ABOUT YOUR COMPANY
AND THEN HOW YOU'RE ALL
RELATED.
FOR ME WHEN I THINK
OF IKEA, I FEEL IT'S
SYNONYMOUS WITH
LOCATION.
HERE IN HAWAI'I WE
DON'T HAVE LARGE SPACES.
I HAVE 30 INCHES AND ONE
BAR IN MY CLOSET.
YOU HAVE TO BE STRATEGIC
AND PARE DOWN.
FOR YOUR COMPANY, IF
SOMEONE WANTS TO COME
AND GET SOME OF THESE
ITEMS AND FURNITURE.
CORRECT, CORRECT.
WE SHIP WEEKLY.
YOU CAN FIND US ON-LINE
AS WELL.
PEOPLE ORDER THINGS AS
SIMPLE AS THESE BOXES.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A
LARGE ORDER.
PEOPLE ASK NO, I HAVE TO
MAKE A BIG, LARGE ORDER.
WE SHIP THEM WEEKLY.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR
STOPPING BY.
