Goldilocks Organizing

“Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty.I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.”― George Carlin

Do you want a Martha Stewart-worthy pantry?  Or do you just need a space that functions for you and one that you can maintain?  Personalized organizing means that we help you find a way of living in your space that is not too sparse, not too cluttered, but just right - like Goldilocks and the 3 bears! 

Look at the difference between these 3 projects.  These were for 3 different clients, all of whom were absolutely thrilled with the final state of their space.

This client started with a very orderly cabinet of dishes.  She wanted to make it more functional as she loses the ability to reach up high.  We purged almost 30 glasses and cups that she realized she just never used.  Everything in the cabinet is now within reach without a step stool and nothing gets dusty in the back from lack of use.

This client had too much stuff in her at-home workspace – it was a catch all that we converted into a functional space to store her interior design materials.   It is not necessarily pretty but it gives her easy access to her materials.  She didn’t need this to be beautiful, just functional.  Now she can pull fabrics and other materials with ease when she wants to get creative.

This client was drowning in stuff.  When we started the desk was piled with papers 2 feet high and there was almost no floor space for walking.  Every surface was covered.  We cleared all surfaces and took 6 bags of donations and trash away.  She is not done.  You can see piles of pictures on the floor she still needs to sort, and things left to be put away.  Now that the big mess is gone, she feels confident she can tackle what is left on her own.  She was so happy to have an office she can use again!

Your satisfaction with organizing depends on your starting point and your goals.  We help each client tell their own story, in their own words, on their own schedule.
