My bathroom is a mess. I can’t find anything!!

Bathrooms can be one quickest places accumulate clutter but also one of the quickest places to solve.  Often the smallest room in the home, it’s key to maximize space and minimize mess.

Working in a bathroom requires sorting, tossing and decision-making.

In this case, a bathroom closet had become overrun and it was becoming increasingly challenging (and frustrating!) to find things.  There were a few baskets in place but everything was jumbled together and the space wasn’t being used most efficiently.

The first step was pulling everything out on to a table and doing a massive triage.  Sorting items into concrete categories, discarding/recycling expired products and identifying overstock.

Next, we created a “rough draft” for a plan for the closet with new categories. I had my clients try this out for a week to see if the categories made sense and were easy to follow.

After their trial period, we made final adjustments, purchased the bins + the risers and added labels.  And here is the final result!

Sno here’s the 4 hour challenge: Transform a home office to make it more productive and FEEL better.

b. Declutter boxes, supplies + knick knacks
c. Create archival storage in the basement
b. Create a whole new look by only using items that were already in the home

DONE!

Thank you to my client for the awesome work together–2 minds work better than 1. And it was fun–as always!

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!
