Living in tight quarters with three small children, my client was feeling paralyzed by all of the stuff everywhere and didn’t know where to begin. We came in and introduced systems throughout the family’s home so that everything had a proper spot to live. A lot of the work involved decluttering and moving less frequently used or seasonal items to the basement. We helped the kids to figure out what books, clothes, and toys they no longer needed or wanted. Now that everyone knows what goes where, tidying up doesn’t require as much time or energy, and is more likely to get done!

A family of four was searching for their forever home and hadn't intended to stay in their current place as long as they had. The clutter and haphazard set ups had only seemed temporary. Realizing all of these delayed decisions were creating a stressful environment, we helped to sort and edit down their belongings so that they only had the things that they wanted or needed, saving them time and energy when it was time to move. And wouldn’t you know they closed on their dream house shortly after!

My client’s home had very unique nooks and crannies, and I came in to make sure those spaces were purposeful and working for his family of five. From the small area under the stairs to a tiny sunlit alcove, we helped to reconfigure them into a kids’ drop zone for bags and coats and a cozy reading area. We also edited down toys, rearranged furniture, and established some order in both the family’s playroom, living room, and multi-purpose office/guest/active play room, all while showing off their fun, eclectic style!

As with many families, merging home life and work life due to Covid was chaotic and stressful. My client was overwhelmed with the demands of working full time from home while also taking care of her young children and dog. Stuff had been piling up everywhere from the kitchen to the laundry room and she didn’t even know where to start. Together, I helped her go from room to room and create spaces that everyone could enjoy and realistically maintain.

My client was feeling the weight of all of the stuff that had piled up in every nook and cranny of her home after eight years and three kids. She needed my help to take stock and figure out what to keep, toss, or relocate. Once we purged, it was simply a means of making her home work better for her and her family—from setting up a kids’ craft zone in the basement and reorganizing the kitchen to outfitting the master closet and styling the bookcase in the living room, her entire home looks and feels lighter!

After over a decade of accumulating clutter, it was hard for my client to have guests over, move about her space, or even breathe easily. After losing her mom, she acquired even more items—these with added emotional significance. She was ready to learn new systems to clear clutter and stay organized. She wanted to take back her home but needed help.
