Summer is a great time to get your garage in order since it holds so many of our summer things, including pool toys and pool gear, hiking and camping gear, bikes, sports equipment, picnic and BBQ supplies and they all need a specific home where they can be located when the occasion is needed. It’s […]

Don’t despair over disorder. It is not a life sentence and it can be remedied with the help of Creative Space Organizing. There are some of us who have never been organized and need help now. There are others of us who are more organized and need help maintaining it. I am currently working with […]
