It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “before and after” on an organizing project. The story around this one applies so broadly to many of my clients, and many people who just struggle with their space, I had to! I wanted to share this story of...

Today, I got to work with one of my clients to totally transform a spare room into a breath of fresh air! She’d told me a long time ago, “So…. I have this spare room. I hate it. No one is allowed in it. I don’t even go in it. I think I want to...

If you read Part 1, you’ll know that this is about an “age in place” upgrade for garage storage for my parents… a great Father’s Day gift that Handy Boy and I helped put in place for my folks this month. Eliminating the attic as storage, and...

Aging in Place, where you continue to modify your own space to make it still work for you as mobility and independence start to decrease, is something that needs to be revisited regularly; what worked 6 months ago just fine may not be as good any more. It’s a...
Jun 10, 2014 | Before and After, Kitchen |
I recently worked with a client on a one-afternoon project to completely organize and transform her kitchen. What she didn’t know is that we’d also manage to transform her LIFE in that same time frame. This client had one major goal: She wants to cook...

My latest client reached out for help, and we set up an appointment to meet a few days later. In between that time, her scope changed, tenfold. Her first need (which hadn’t changed) was that, because the global corporation she works for, out of her home,...

I hadn’t posted a “Before and After” in a while, so I thought I’d break up our month of smaller tasks by showing off a BIG one that I just tackled. I recently worked on a large garage organizing project with my friend, Rebecca Stapler. She and...

Great project this weekend with a client to attack the home’s storage room/cedar closet. Her family uses this space, about 80 square feet, as a spot to store occasional-use items, holiday decorations, some clothing, and some items from the clients’...

I got to work on a GREAT space with a client this week. She and her husband share a walk-in closet, that has some tall built-in closet and shelving space, but the client called it “a disaster”. She really has a closet that so many of us would die for,...

One project I was excited to work on this summer was helping a woman with her home office in a closet. Having a home office in a closet can be a GREAT use of space! She’d set it up for herself some time ago, but it really wasn’t working for her any more....
Aug 26, 2013 | Basement, Before and After |
When we bought our house two years ago, we were thrilled to finally have a basement! Ours is a pretty decent size, and, though it is “unfinished”, it’s got some potential to be better, for sure. Cement floor, cinderblock walls, decent height...
