My laundry room is stressing me out! What can we do in 4 hours?

Ilove many aspects of my work but something I really enjoy is how quickly you can see results in a home. Here, I helped a client empty out and transform the “storage/laundry/cat littler/everything gets dumped here” room into an organized and functional space.

The first step is always decluttering and in just 4 hours we emptied out the entire space, filled a car with donations as well as accumulated many bags for recycling and trash. A lot of work in not much time! Below you’ll find some before and after photos of the space.

This is another example of how getting started can be the most challenging part in our homes. And that’s my job–to show you how to start and give you a plan to get it done. Teamwork!

A “nightmare” storage room gets a new look

One day, I received this email: ” I have a small office space that needs decluttering, organizing and designing, and a storage room that is an absolute nightmare. You look at this and think, “I have been waiting for this!” Please help!” I LOVE these projects! Your mess + stress is an opportunity for me to come in and work some magic. It’s always a collaborative process and always, in the words of Marie Forleo, FIGUREOUTABLE!

So I hear this often–a room or a space in one’s home has become a dumping ground. We all have junk drawers or junk closets and sometimes even junk rooms or homes….!  It’s similar to a garden with such an abundance of weeds that you can’t even see the flowers. And if you only take out a few weeds, you don’t see much of a difference. So you have to go full force, dig deep and get to the root of the problem. Ok, garden analogy over now.SaveSave

In this case, our first step was identifying what was not working in the space as well as the future goals and hopes for the room.  We came up with 2 main “zones”: a pantry area + work space. SaveSave

For the pantry area, we removed the closet and decluttered everything in sight.  Next step was the installation of a new piece of furniture as well as a concrete plan for the different sections of the pantry.  By using bins + baskets, we categorized items and created clear “homes” for everything.  And by adding some decor and a new rug, we cheered up the space as well.
