Traveling a lot, not having systems in place that work, waiting until clutter builds up and being overwhelmed with where to start can turn your home office into a place you would rather not go! That is how my client felt and that is why she asked for help. Following the basic organizing steps we transformed her home office into a place where she can get projects completed and even enjoy spending time there! Have fun looking at these before and after photos!

Office Transformation
I love amazing transformations!! They motivate. They bring life into a dead space. They help someone (or many people) become more productive. There is order. It is beautiful to see the treasures on display. You can find things. It is a gift. Oh, the list goes on... It is why I LOVE to organize!

We moved the lighter shelf to the other side of the office to go with it's match. Are these black shelves not sooo cute?? My client is talented at decorating...and you can see the treasures!
I could not wait to show these astonishing before and after pictures of a client's home office. Now remember, all of this was done using the basic organizing steps - sort, go through each pile, find a home, contain & label, keep it simple...and then plan to maintain. Following these steps will lead you to organizing just about anything!
Notice the shelves have a home for everything and it is all labeled! Off to organize...have an amazing day!

The Guest Room/Office Transformation
I love what I do...helping people accomplish a task...transform a space... organize...provide peace of mind...transfer skills... whatever you call it, I LOVE it!
My clients are very capable, smart and talented people! They could do what I help them to do but many have said that this scheduled time, the extra set of hands, a focused perspective and experienced ideas are what gets the projects done!
A recent client who has three children and a full life had gotten overwhelmed and wanted help with her spare bedroom/office. She wanted her guests to have a clean, welcoming place to stay and for herself to have a place to do her work that was inviting. Some of the things that were being stored in the room were her children's memorabilia, family photos, paperwork, family history memorabilia and some things that she knew she could get rid of but just hadn't had the time to get through - a couple old file cabinets, pictures she wanted to sell on eBay, etc.
Here are the stunning before and after photos:



We went through the organizing steps: sort, purge/go through each pile, decide on where to store things, contain them, and finally enjoy the finished product!!
Obviously everything in the room didn't just disappear. The things that she kept - children's memorabilia that is now organized by year - and family history and photos are stored in clear, labeled plastic bins. There was a closet that was being used to store blankets and pillows that now houses these bins under a couple of the blankets!

The rest of the items had a home already elsewhere in the house or were donated, returned to someone else or placed in the trash.
Ahhhh, let the guests come visiting! And, let the goals get accomplished in an office like that!
