After sorting out her clutter, a busy mom-of-4 was overcome by how much it had accumulated in her home. She was left crying.
Stacey Dooley visited Cherelle, a stay-at home mother, and Tony, a courier, to see their two daughters, Cherelle, three-years-old, and twins, one year old.
The couple has only been in the home for 3 years. However, they were already full of stuff and couldn’t figure out where to begin when clearing out.
Cherelle stated, “There’s no order and there’s no structure.” Everything is all around. There are clothes in my kitchen, and birth certificates in my laundry room.

The couple cleared hundreds of their possessions and organized them to make clear spaces for adults.
The family used the front room as a bedroom, but it had no purpose. The crew helped to make it more functional.
This space was used to allow the parents to unwind together. Cherelle also had a desk installed for her return to teaching. Pictured: The day bed converted into a bed.

“We have only been together for 2 1/2 years, and now I’ve lost our engagement ring.” Is it possible to lose your engagement ring in a house so chaotic?
Cherelle explained to Tony that Cherelle was upset about the mess, which made it seem like Cherelle was failing in her role as mother.
The toys have gotten out of control. “The toys are getting out of control,” she stated. ‘I look at dream homes in social media, and I believe that my children deserve it. Why are you struggling?
After seeing the empty house, she was overcome with emotion and stated that it was good to be able to give her children space.
The couple were open-mouthed when they saw their possessions laid out in a warehouse, including 113 pairs of children’s shoes, 105 bibs, 203 girls’ dresses, 51 newborn baby caps, eight prams, 987 greetings cards and over 1,000 children’s toys.
Garage was also used for extra clothing storage, a game room and as a graveyard. Because they couldn’t organize upstairs, they had to resort to just putting their clothes anywhere they could.
The garage can be converted to a utility room with custom storage because it has more storage upstairs. It was little things like an ironing board that could be folded away (as you can see)
The bedroom was previously the couple’s master bedroom. It was like many spaces in the house, filled with useless storage.
This room was transformed into the bedroom for children, complete with back-to-back bunkbeds that gave everyone space to rest. The bunkbeds were placed against the wall in order to maximize space.
Two sets of bunkbeds, and cribs were provided for the children below the age of 4.
Cherelle and Tony gave the space a romantic makeover by painting it a soft pink.
Cherelle was overcome with emotion when she saw photos of her father. She said he was very organized and neat.
They threw out festival tickets and barbecue tickets as well as dozens of baby clothes, bibs, and other items.
Cherelle said that Stacey’s statement about having to reduce 50 percent of the population shocked her. “But it’s been done. Tony said that Tony was “so proud” of his wife.
The garage that was left unfinished was converted into a utility area. Tony and Cherelle moved in to their room. Their children’s bedroom became Tony and Cherelle’s, and the front room, which was previously used as a dump ground or extra bedroom, was made an adult-only room.
Although they have lived in this house for only three years, the couple had filled up every inch.
Tony and Cherelle (pictured above) were delighted with the results. They said that it has transformed their lives.
Cherelle stated, “I didn’t expect this,” after seeing the room. “This is incredible.
This mother of four was especially impressed by the bedroom for her children.
She cried, but said it was beautiful. This is my favorite room. It’s like a dream bedroom for a child. This will be their favorite place to sleep. They will love it.
“All the space they have to play. This is our old and messy, old room.
Tony revealed Cherelle’s engagement ring at the end of the show and then proposed again to her.
“It has really exceeded all my expectations,” she said. It has reduced the arguments that we had about clutter. This has helped every child.
Tony said, “We’ve found the perfect venue to hold our wedding.” This is our next major milestone.
