In this case, a client had a gorgeous collection of make-up that was piling up on the floor and spilling into her bedroom. She was neither able to use her cosmetics nor enjoy them because of the stress they caused her.  So together, we did applied the 3-tiered plan: declutter, organize + design.

We took EVERYTHING out of boxes, containers + closets. We created piles for keeping, trash, recycling and donations.  Once we knew exactly what would remain, we could discuss a range of organizational ideas to figure out the ones that would work for HER.  Not for me, but for her daily life.  That is something so critical to my work is not imposing solutions but collectively brainstorming them so that they will last.

She found an image online of a space that she really liked, so we recreated the look by combining IKEA furniture.  Unfortunately I do not have photos of the insides of drawers because they were fantastic! My client had the best time organizing each drawer according to different categories, using smaller bins + containers to make sure everything had a home.

Moving is considered to be one of the top 5 stressors in life. Even if it’s a positive move or change, it can still be extremely stressful and overwhelming. So when the anxiety kicks in and you feel stuck and distressed, that’s where I come in.  I’m objective, neutral and I love to plan!

Here, I created a room-by-room action plan to help a family prepare their home for sale as well as start the moving and packing process.  There was such a terrific vintage vibe in the apartment that it was fun to play around with different elements. Decluttering + getting rid of a lot of items was key to being able to highlight each room as well as make unpacking on the other end a lot easier. My client invested a lot of time and energy in following the plan but it was a success. Home sold and new home purchased!
