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 […]

Organizing your closet can seem like a daunting task especially if you have struggled with it and it’s vexed you for some time. You can’t see what you have. Items live on the floor. There is no rhyme or reason to what you have and you don’t know all that you DO have. You spend […]

Children’s rooms are often magnets for clutter from assorted clothes, toys, books, papers, stuffed animals, games, equipment and way, way too many pieces of things–tiny pieces from Barbie dolls, games, Legos and more. It can drive a parent crazy trying to keep track of it all. Thankfully, with the patience and persistence of an organizer, […]

Thomas Troward the 19th C. British judge and metaphysician declared that order is the first law of the universe.

I’ve heard it said that “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”and there is great wisdom and truth in that saying. When we don’t know what our plans are, where we are headed, where we are going, we may very well doom ourselves to plans gone awry whether that’s in business, in creating […]

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 […]

Oh, the American car. We use it to drive to and from work, to shop, to transport our kids and our things, to drop things off, to pick things up as well as we eat in our cars, we do business from our cars, we sleep in our cars, put on makeup, shave, brush our […]

I recently helped a client who had boxes of things stored at her mother’s house, as did her sister. The garage was filled from front to back and top to bottom. There was one small path to walk through. The side yard held her and her husband’s boat and multiple boxes as well as multiple […]

Have you ever stopped and looked at your keyring and wondered what all the keys you have belong to? Maybe you aren’t one that collects keys, but for some reason, I am. I actually have a container that had been filled with loose push pins, nails, picture hooks, assorted tools–the ones you get when you […]
