out with the old. in with the new.

life's transitions either delayed, unexpected or desired are especially important times to reassess if your things and your space are serving YOU! (rather than the other way around...uh. you know what I mean.)

a current project is a perfect example of this. our clients are interested providing more space to grow their business and their art...and perhaps a little bundle of joy. but a quick look around the house reveals a space that is FAR from conducive to achieve these goals.

other than the master bedroom, the two other rooms have been functioning as storage (to the brim) and a kitty litter/playground (they quite nobly rescue cats and dogs). ORGANIZED. BY JENNY IS ON THE JOB!

as you can see from the photos, just one snippet of our many sessions shows what a difference we can make by just sorting and purging a bunch of bulky bed/house linens! real bang for the buck for the organizing time. it frees up all the space we never thought we had! (especially when too much stuff for too little storage space forces us to adapt and shove things into nooks and crannies all over the house!) we brought all the linens together, put like with like, and figured out what EXACTLY were the ways that we need the stuff for! what's the function? (I love that question.) then we got rid of old stuff or duplicates and only kept a set or more of what we needed! big labels of piles helps us as we sort (see first photo) and the result is about a THIRD of the linens are going to be donated (see second photo) and a clear hall closet to boot! (see third photo)

our goal is to have the place in tip top shape in time for a fun Halloween Party! I love scheduling parties as excuses to get our butts in gear and organize our space!

stay tuned for the results.
