Before and After
Office Revitalization
I worked with Bankole to get his office organized when Covid hit. He wanted a professional space and a space that would make him feel good and productive.
In his professional career, he has interviewed President Obama and I decided to get those pictures framed (from Michael’s) and display them so that they could be enjoyed. During our session, he was asked to be interviewed by CNN and he felt confident doing it in his office space.
I bought shelving to get the boxes off the ground and place them in the closet, containers to divide the different categories and then placed them on the shelves, a stand-up laptop desk that he could roll around the room to choose different backgrounds when he would be interviewed, bookshelves to display his many books and awards, a display hook for his media badges and lastly a ring light to improve the lighting for his virtual interviews.
This took roughly 10 - 13 hours organizing sessions to complete the project. Now he enjoys walking into his office and getting right to work!
Hectic Home Life
With Betty's help inventorying cupboards, this client was able to sort items into Keep, Donate, and Purge. This allowed the client to sort items into more permanent places around the home, like a filing cabinet for loose papers. The extra space made it easier for the children to access their coloring books and playthings located in the cupboard.
Bursting Clothes Closet
Betty helped this client sort clothing into Keepsakes, Donations, and Clothes to Grow into. Using this logical methodology helped the client have a stronger approach to purchasing new clothes, especially for children, who can often skip sizes entirely.
Making Space in the Garage
In this case, the client determined to set up shelving in the garage to get items off of the floor. With the shelving, sections were created for gardening, tools, and toys. This made it easier for each family member to find what they are looking for and allowed the homeowners to park their cards inside the garage!
Kitchen Renovation
Betty assisted this client with creating a checklist of items that they wanted in their new kitchen. Betty also helped to interview potential contractors and helped manage the timeline and budget of the work to be done. When the client found a contractor they liked, they were able to expedite this renovation project with ease.
Home Office Cleanup
Betty was able to help this client sort paperwork into Junk, Papers to be Filed, and Projects. Once the papers were divided this way, they were able to collaborate on the best filing method for the client to stay organized in their office.
Closet Cleanup
This particular client was very sentimental towards a majority of the clothing and it took up a lot of space in the closet. To resolve this, we purchased clear tote containers for storage and added a second hanging rod in the basement to store the less worn clothing. This created a lot of space in the bedroom closet, giving the client a more inviting space to get ready in. This addition of space was complemented by installing a shoe organizer to create more structure.
