8 Weeks to Home Organization Bliss: Week 4 – Bathrooms
My 8-week series continues with ... Bathrooms! The bathroom is usually the smallest room in a house yet it stores an overwhelming number of items: toiletries, first aid supplies, prescription medicines, beauty products ... and nearly every woman has at minimum a small collection of makeup and perfume. Because the bathroom contains so many different items, all with different shapes and sizes, function and consistency of use, it is really easy to see why it is one of my clients least favorite rooms to tackle.

8 Weeks to Home Organization Bliss: Week 3 – Closets
I really enjoy working in master closets. I know, I say that about every room - but I do! Unlike some areas of the house the master closet is ultra-personal and needs to be used by you on a daily basis. When it is out of control, you feel out of control.

8 Weeks to Home Organization Bliss: Week 1 – Kitchen & Pantry
I get requests from a lot of clients asking for help re-organizing their kitchen and pantry, which I absolutely love. Every kitchen I have organized is completely different and I don't just mean design. Before I can start a kitchen and pantry project the most important questions I ask clients are about every-day functionality. One client might exclusively eat take-out but enjoys to bake. Another client might have a large family with a revolving pantry. Last week I was asked to help a family re-work their kitchen and pantry for a ... Keep Reading >>
