I have some new clients that I am pretty darn excited about. We are new friends and have known each other for about a year. But this is first time that we have worked on any organizing together. They recently had the ability to travel abroad for an extended period of time and upon returning to their home they realized it was time to make some changes. When you live out of a backpack and barely have any of your possessions with you for an extended period of time it ...continue reading

Basement Blues Be Gone
April 1, 2014 By
One of my faithful clients has recently moved into a new home. Their previous home had a large unfinished basement and this new home has an equally large finished basement. In an unfinished basement you care about how things look but let's face it...you're looking at studs and insulation all around you. It's not THAT pretty.

Here is a chest that a client of mine just purchased to use in her living room. She had it painted a fun color to add a little pop in her decor. She plans ...continue reading

Pinterest Challenge…Measure Up
August 4, 2011 By
So many of us want to spend time organizing every last beautiful thing our children do. How they look, what they say, how they are growing...the list goes on and on doesn't it? I want to but the truth is that I have three children and two businesses and a busy life. I have managed to put a few things down in a baby book and I've been pretty good about documenting their live in photos. One thing we are always talking about here at our house is how big the ...continue reading
