With all of the things we own, we need a place to put them. Many clients that I work with don’t have a good sense of how to use their closet, garage and other storage spaces effectively. There often is a lot of wasted space, things piled atop each other, things randomly sorted together, excess […]

Many clients I work with struggle with their garages–overstuffed with too many things they don’t even know they have: boxes, packing materials, garbage, broken and outworn items and more. My job is to pull all that stuff out into the bright sunlight and look at it with new eyes. My job is also to get […]

When the holidays hit, we can find ourselves perhaps in overwhelm with too much stuff to do in addition to the busyness of our everyday lives. With our regular work schedules, family obligations, meetings, exercise, etc, we pile on holiday parties, shopping, decorating and more. It can feel rather daunting. The truth of the matter […]

Yes, it’s that time of year again with falling leaves, cooling weather and the return of the jam-packed holiday season. So many things to do and so little time. Oy! Having our spaces organized facilitates a much smoother and easier time when the holidays bear down upon us. Having a cleared garage, all the decorations […]

Photographs, memorabilia, a favorite sweater or a class ring, all hold memories that fill us with pleasant thoughts and feelings. Things we’ve held onto, items that have been given to us or things we’ve inherited are memory holders as well as potential clutter. Too often they become things that burden us rather than uplift us.

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 […]

With the New Year comes new responsibilities and new possibilities. Without direction and order, we can find ourselves mired in 2010 without the  clear path and direction we need to move forward. If we have a pile of things we have left from the previous year, we can find ourselves challenged to take action and […]
