No project is too small! This client was motivated to clear out old books and make this corner look less busy.
After
We started at the top and worked our way down by pulling every book off the shelf. It took less than an hour and ended up donating boxes of books! I always recommend starting with a small project. It helps gain confidence and gives instant gratification to keep on going!
Before
I love walking into a new space and instantly seeing its potential. This client wanted to walk in the basement storage area and be able to grab and go what they needed.
Hot Tip: In a basement I usually recommend keeping most belongings in waterproof totes.
After
Woohoo! Can you feel just how much lighter this picture is? This project was pretty standard as I simplified what was not being used anymore, organized what they wanted to keep, and labeled the totes. I provided the client options for basement storage needs and then the client chose the type & color of the totes, label font, and font color. This whole project took two days and what a beautiful sight!
Before
My favorite clients are those that aren't afraid to make big changes! This garage was neglected and lacked a system.
After
Nothing was bought to make this happen! I used the bins they already owned instead of consuming new. Most items were intentionally donated to local organizations. Labels were made using my Cricut machine.
Before
Newlywed couple requested simplifying their 2nd bedroom that was being used as a dumping zone with post wedding decor and personal items.
After
My clients nailed it! I am proud of them for having fun, working together, staying focused and welcoming a new calm into their home. No organization items were bought during this project. Donations were dropped of by me which is part of the service I provide.
Before
I had the honor to help another newlywed couple simplify, organize and label their second bedroom/office. One partner was the crafting queen while the other wanted a calm and inviting space. The goal was to find that balance. I suggested we put 3 bins out ( keep, donate and sell). This visual helped this couple take their time to discuss where the items needed to go.
After
Voila! I had never worked with such a variety of crafting materials, it was a lot of fun! I started organizing the books, creating a rainbow bookshelf. Then I took everything out of the closet, categorized by type of crafting materials and organized which bins were the appropriate size for the items to go into. The clients chose the label font and color for their bins. Everything has a place now.
Before
This party planner queen came to me with two simple requests: be able to walk in the closet and find her supplies easily.
Before
Here is the another view of the closet. I immediately saw the potential of this space.
After
The party has arrived! I utilized the green vintage shoe cubbies for her to display her favorite shoes. I also suggested hanging these beautiful party easels to get the big items off the floor. (whoops-forgot to take a final photo of them all hung)!
After
It truly is a thing of beauty! After simplifying, I organized the party supplies by category ( ex: birthday, wedding, banners, ribbons, paper & stickers, frames, art supplies, balloons, calligraphy, food & gift tags). I then chose the perfect size bins to fill with supplies and created labels using the Cricut machine. Along the way, we found a handful of board games so we dedicated a shelf for easy grab and go purposes. This client was so relieved to be able to access this closet, know what she owned and where it lives.
Before
These first time parents had been feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of baby gear they had accumulated. They requested the baby clothes be organized by size and all other supplies could be easily accessible.
After
Such progress! All they needed was a system. Rectangle shape totes were bought to organize the clothes and the fabric material bins were used to organize baby supplies and toys. The clients chose the color and font for their bins and I made those using the Cricut machine. I felt the deep breath they took when this project was complete.

Goodbye, mess!
A client requested help with simplifying under the sinks in their master bathroom. I pulled everything out while they shared memories of the items that date back to their college years. I love hearing how items add to their life story.
After
Hello, fresh start!
They now know what they own and where it is.
Hot tip: when going through unused prescriptions, please discard them appropriately at a secure drop off location in your area.
