Three teen boys and their friends lift
weights, watch television, and build and paint model toys here.
When I arrived, one could barely walk through the room. We
rearranged the furniture, discarded three bags of trash, and eliminated
the need for one large dresser.
Time = 4 hours
Items purchased = One small wheeled cart for
storage of paints and model toys
Craft Closet
This client's craft closet was
inaccessible by foot. To reach the shelving inside on the right
side of the doorway (not pictured here) she had to stand on a foot stool
and reach over the piles on the floor. We removed everything from
the closet and reorganized the materials. After two full trash
bags and two bags of give-aways, we were able to reload the closet.
Time = 4 hours
Items purchased = 3 large plastic storage
containers; 3 small plastic storage containers
Home Office and
Home-to-Office Move
This client runs her own business from her home offices. When I arrived
there was paper all over the floor and guest bed without any sense of
order. Within 3 hours we filled 2 garbage bags full of nothing but
paper. She is now more relaxed and when she has people into her office
they can find a seat on the bed for discussion.
Time = 3 hours
(project still in progress – paper is the most time consuming of
projects)
Items purchased =
No additional purchase
This business owners recently moved from their home into an office
space. The pictured project is their filing system. They had multi
colored folders with handwritten tabs. We created a simple system that
uses the colored folders for specific months which creates visual ease
instead of distraction. All the file tabs were also created in a
spreadsheet and can be easily alphabetized and new matching tabs can be
added at any time. We filled a trash can with many unneeded papers.
Time = 2 hours
Items purchased = No
additional purchase
Basement Storage Room
This client had an
overstuffed basement storage room piled high with all those essential
things they thought they needed to save. There was a large pile of
trash and donations at the end of the session. Now they can walk
into the room and easily find the items they need for their favorite
activities and have room for new things.
Time = 3 hours
Items purchased =
2 large plastic storage containers
Insurance Office
This client is a busy insurance representative. The first things I
noticed walking into the building was that I could see EVERYTHING in his
office because of the no longer used glass door in his office. We put a
curtain in the middle of the door in order to create a tidy look as you
approach the building. (this way if he needs to still create a small
pile behind his desk it can be “hidden”) The primary tasks were
clearing the desk from unneeded items and labeling/sorting all his
brochures, forms and applications in the literature sorter behind this
desk.
Time = 5 hours
Items purchased =
Curtain
Walk-in Closet
This working mother of three children needed
assistance in conquering her closet. Her husband
and her share a large walk-in closet and her
husband's side was the picture of order, but her
side was a mess. This was constantly the
subject of many heated "discussions". We sorted
through many years worth of clothes and
accessories. After 8 garbage bags were filled
for donation we were able to move some of the
items into the closet from her dresser so that she
can get completely get ready in the closet and
bathroom without waking her husband.
Time = 4 hours
Items purchased = 4
wicker baskets. 100 white plastic hangers
