Are you a piler? Someone who, out of natural habit, sets papers down in a pile. But then when it’s time to find something, you’re frustrated because you dig, shuffle and sort? Then realize, it’s not *that* pile the paper you’re searching for is in. Maybe it’s that pile over there? Or that one in the kitchen? Or that one… Read More
Not sure how it’s possible, but summer is about to screech to a jarring halt. And quickly. How in the World?! What’s funny is that typically I’m more than happy for the kids to head back to school. In all honesty, we’ve experienced a few brutal, stressful summers – big moves, expensive home improvement projects (which meant we couldn’t go… Read More
What you may not be aware of is that in my business I not only organize, but I clean for clients too. This just makes sense since pretty much everything is cleared out of the space during the purge / sorting process. I’m sure you can agree that nothing feels better than walking into your newly organized space than knowing… Read More
If you’re lucky enough to have an extra room in your home, chances are that space acts as another functional space too. For example, could be a craft room that doubles as a guest room. Or an office that doubles as a work out space. In the Bay Area especially, I’ve seen many homeowners double up (even triple up) the… Read More
Be prepared – photo overload here! Can you blame me? This is cause for serious celebration – my new outdoor patio is completed and the table is in place. Do I have a few more additions to make? Sure, all in time (and budget!). But for now I’m just so beyond grateful to have this last patch of dirt completely… Read More
Besides running this crazy fun business, there are lots of *this and that* type topics swirling in the background. And I’ve been meaning to dump it all here for your enjoyment! In this installment, an update on my home office, a couple announcements and some sale items I’ve run across that are worth passing along. Get comfortable – there’s a… Read More
Over the 4 years living in this house (how is this even possible?!), I’ve made the small spaces work extra hard. Funny, as a professional organizer, I don’t necessarily see myself as a minimalist…but I definitely noticed some tendencies. The small spaces around here just work better when there’s less stuff. Period. Anyway, there will be an eventual remodel –… Read More
I love the part of my business where I get to take all of the before / after photos to show you the projects I’ve been working on. As you’ve seen from the sheer volume of photos I snap (ahem – yesterday’s post), it’s kind of my favorite part of the job. And my favorite part of blogging. But taking… Read More
I was anxiously awaiting this specific time on this specific day. Why? Because by now I would have dropped my son off at his first ever sleep-away camp – meaning my jitters would be long gone. (But not my sad-missing-him heart) I’m excited about him getting away with buddies for a week of amazing new experiences, but you know how… Read More
COMING SOON Guys, hope you still love me. My last few posts have been client projects. While I know many of you enjoy reading these, I know you love my personal or home improvement related posts as well. I guess you can say the blog content is indicative of my current schedule = client heavy and slow on the home… Read More
