Project File

Here’s a glimpse into some projects I am currently working on.

Let’s Eat!

The budding young artist had no space to create and the family had no place to eat.  After we cleared everything off the table, chairs and floor, I discovered a gaping hole in the baseboard trim that was an unwanted and very expensive cold air vent from the outdoors.  I paused the organizing project, went out and got insulation to seal the cracks, and stopped the leak.  Once all of the clutter was out of the dining area, the walls got a coat of paint and the dining area was now open for business.  The child’s art supplies are contained in one unit where each activity can be removed while working and put back in its place when completed.

Your child is never too young to learn responsibility for their belongings. Children actually like the concept and are often faster learners than the parents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basement consolidation

The client had an out-of-control mountain of tax returns, family photos and videos, camping supplies, kitchen gadgets and utensils, boxes of silverware, and various household goods waiting to topple over onto the homeowner.  We sorted out the best containment system, which in this case was large utility shelving on wheels, so that everything could be easily located and retrieved.  In the process, we discovered mold in the corner of the basement and remediated the situation.  Now the basement is organized, everything is in its place, all is easily/safely accessible and is spore free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Home Gym

This photo came from my initial meeting with the clients in their “home gym”/comforter storage area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The “Amazing Collection of Stuff” Basement

This challenge is “quadrant 1″ of a very large, once overflowing basement.  Everything to be kept was divided, categorized and stored in protective containers.  Sadly, much of it had to go, due to water damage.  In this situation, I also found mold which we took care of, in addition to discovering and addressing a problem with their humidifiers.  This is a very important example of why you should not put off  the task of organizing.  Often there is an underlying problem that can’t be seen under the clutter.  More photos to come.
