“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

Ever wonder what it's like to move in and have pro organizers unpack for you?? Well, wonder no more.
These pics are of us unpacking for a client who wasn't even with us. They were away on vacation.
We talk the client, ask questions about how they use their items, how often they access certain things and then set up a sustainable system for success!!

Not every pantry is packed and stacked to the gills🐠
This client has a large pantry but not too many items...so we set him up with room to grow, into his new home and his new pantry. And that's exactly what he did. 😃

the garage is the most underrated room in the house and also a N O T O R I O U S place for a M E S S ! ! ! 🥵
Fear not! we have solutions for this too! 😀
🚗🚲Garages often have many different functions. Storage for holidays, tools, backstock, keepsakes, hobbies, a gym, outdoor activities, sports, party supplies, gardening, emergency supplies, you name it! 🛴🔧
In a multipurpose space, it's so important to create zones. Keep like with like so you know where to go to find the things you need. You may even just do that hobby if you can find 🔍 the supplies!
PRO TIP: Start small. choose one corner and start there. Garages can be overwhelming. Make small consistent progress and soon the job will be done! 🎯

Did someone say A C C E S S O R I E S ! ? !
Nothing tops off a 🔥 look like the perfect accessories! We want to help you keep your collection looking brand new for as long as possible.
If these babies get out of order, it can be a real hassle to put it all back together. Untangling necklaces 😫 am I right??
First things first:
Group alike items together + edit out items you no long wish to keep.
Now you're ready to look for the perfect accessory organizing solutions. Buying products too soon in the process, you'll end up buying something that just doesn't work.
Try modular clear trays that fit together, or maybe a wall mounted accessory wardrobe is the way to go!
