The client moved and now it was time to set up her beautiful new closet.
The Solution
Laura created a plan to make the clothes, accessories and shoes easy to access, and still have clearly defined categories: casual, business, sportswear and formal.
The plan was based on the volume of each clothing category. The clothing and shoes were grouped by type, style, and then color. The purses were grouped by size, color and frequency of use.
In addition, making everything easy to access meant setting the correct heights for all movable rods and shelves.

The Situation
This creative artist has a home-based business making unique wooden pieces. Her creativity was being blocked by the inability to find her tools and supplies. She also lacked space to work on large scale pieces, as well as an area for storing decor and accessories.
The Solution
We sorted the wood by size into crates. The large collection of paint, and other supplies were organized by category, and then stored in labeled containers. We rearranged work tables and shelving, and created space for the woodworking and power tools to have their own stations.

Before & After: Creating a multi-functional home office

Client: Saleswoman for a service company in Georgia.
Here’s the situation: Like many people, the client had converted a room of her home into an office. In this case, it was the dining room, which had no storage. Then, the client’s aging mother needed to move in for a few months and the only place to put a bed on the first floor was the home office.
Solving the problem:
- We purged a lot. There were outdated sales and seminar materials. There were products from a former business, and household items that just landed in the space. She needed to make decisions about what items to purge.
Before & after : Garage storage eases clutter inside home

The Situation
Downsizing has many advantages, but can also pose a problem when it comes to storage. This client had limited storage in her town home, so she was unable to find a solution for bulk supplies, utility items and larger things, such as entertaining coolers and trays, and a cat carrier.
The Solution
We grouped like items into zones on sturdy mobile shelving to enable the home owner to move them easily for cleaning. Smaller items were stored in clear plastic boxes within their zone. This solution will help with the rotation of stock, too.
