“Laura was a life-saver when she organized my closet!”
“I was having a really hard time getting rid of anything, and she helped me realize that I didn’t need a lot of what was cluttering up my closet. I slept better after working with Laura, knowing that there was less extra junk in my life! Everyone should spend a few afternoons with Laura and see how much better their homes (and their lives) can be!”
-Shelly

💚🤍 Our clients truly are our favorite part of the job. 🤍💙
After we organized this client's kitchen we brought our kit and tools to the car and came back in to say our goodbyes.
To our surprise we caught our clients gazing into their newly organized pantry. They said "it's so beautiful, we can't stop staring at it."
I said, mind if I snap a pic, and they said sure! 📷
It's moments like these, with our clients, that make our job so satisfying! 💙

Holiday organizing! TOO SOON?
Out of sight out of mind right?👀...until the holidays roll around and we have to crawl into the attic space to retrieve our decorations from the mess we created the year before 😂
🏠The attic is a perfect place to store holiday decorations, costumes + keepsakes! But man, if it's not organized, it can be a real bummer!
Don't miss out on utilizing this space in an efficient way ☑️
📦For attics we recommend weather tight, durable, translucent bins! Why?
🌦️ your items remain safe regardless of the weather
🔦translucent bins make it easier to identify what's inside

The PAX system from IKEA is the perfect shelving system to hold the iDesign containers to keep everything in place while maintaining easy access + a sleek look.

🖌️ There's no time like play time! 🖌️
We had a blast creating this cute, colorful craft corner set up for our clients kiddos.
🎨 Playrooms can often look really busy and overwhelming. Organizing coloring books, workbooks, puzzle books + drawing pads into these white magazine holders defined the space and contains the paper - a truly tidy solution. And of course, don't forget the labels. 😉 🎨

🌈✨Organizing by color is super trendy right now. It looks AH-mazing, but not everyone's food cooperates with the rainbow order.✨🌈
Grouping items by type and color if it makes it easy for the whole family to find what their looking for...or maybe it's an opportunity to help your kiddos get all their colors down.
💫For this massive pantry we used risers, deep drawers, stackable bins, woven baskets, dividers, decanting containers, turn tables, labels; you name it, we used it! 💫
