Kitchen
BEFORE: This kitchen was drowning in paper!
AFTER: Everything was finally dealt with and the bulk of the paper was recycled. Incoming paper now goes in a basket on the counter - phase 1 of the new system!
BEFORE: And there was no place to cook a family meal.
AFTER: The cabinets were rearranged so meal preparation and clean up are much easier. This also created homes for all of the things on the counter tops.
Hall Closets
BEFORE: Everything was co-mingled and just thrown in the closet.
AFTER: Infrequently used items moved elsewhere. Everything has a place and is easy to find.
Home Office - Mary Kay
BEFORE: This office was no where near being settled in and ready to run a business from.
AFTER: Additional shelving was brought making all of the products easily accessible.
BEFORE: Bags crowded the shelf and floor, and random items filled this nook.
AFTER: The bags are under control and there's room for more product. The nook is the new home for all of the to-go bags, keeping them out of the way but ready to go in a flash!
Home Office
BEFORE: Piles of papers covered the whole desk top and were often knocked over.
AFTER: The papers found their homes in the new filing system or in the recycling. Things that are used frequently are within reach.
BEFORE: This filing cabinet was packed too many file folder categories. And there were piles of papers inside and out.
AFTER: Everything has a proper home in the filing cabinet in the new filing system that is much more user-friendly.
BEFORE: Clothes were crammed into half of the closet because the paper products and a huge box of miscellaneous items had taken over the other half. Things were spilling over everywhere.
AFTER: Paper supplies and the box were removed which made room for clothes. Hair items are together once again.
Hall Closet
BEFORE: Everything in the drawers and baskets was co-mingled making everything hard to find. And party cookware was scattered throughout.
AFTER: Let there be categories! Each drawer, basket and shelf has a category that makes sense and makes finding things easier than ever.
Apartment/Home Office
BEFORE: The floor was covered with things with no homes.
AFTER: Everything now has a home! This made room for a more productive office area and makes it easy to grab things needed on the way out.
BEFORE: This wall was completely overloaded! Dining, book shelf and office all on one wall.
AFTER: The office area has been relocated leaving enough space to dine comfortably and offers added seating in the living room.
BEFORE: Supplies were all over the place and visible all the time.
AFTER: All of the supplies have been sorted and tucked in the front closet where they can easily be accessed from the office area, but are out of sight.
BEFORE: Clothes and miscellaneous stuff everywhere.
AFTER: The hamper was moved out of the middle of the room. Smaller items have a home in the drawers that were previously in the dining area. The closet now has order which will make maintaining the room a lot easier.
Home Office
BEFORE: Permission slips and other important papers were misplaced.
AFTER: This home now has an efficient, easy to manage system so papers no longer get misplaced. The kids even have a great place to do their homework!
Home Office
BEFORE: There was no working being done in this home office.
AFTER: This room can be used as an office once again!
Storage Room
BEFORE: Nothing could be found in here and it was difficult to even get to the boxes to look for anything.
AFTER: Now everything can easily be found and accessed!
Family Room
BEFORE: This room was not ready for the grandchildren to play in and was not a comfortable place to entertain any company.
AFTER: The room is ready for company. There is plenty of room for the kids to play and for the adults too!
Home Office
BEFORE: Books, papers & office supplies covered the dining room table & cluttered the office & closet. It was frustrating & time-consuming to find things.
AFTER: Now things can be found in a flash & there’s room to work at the new desk! Files & supplies that are used often are in cute, labeled containers within arm’s reach. Binders & files that are not used regularly are stored neatly in the closet, and the dining room table is free for entertaining. This room now has a personality that matches the rest of the place!
Bedroom Closet
BEFORE: Clothes were in two closets, which made it challenging and time-consuming to make wardrobe decisions.
AFTER: Everything from both closets is now in one closet! To accomplish this, extra hanger space was installed, and floor to ceiling shelving was added. Now getting dressed is a snap!
Kitchen Pantry
BEFORE: This pantry had no organization! And there were a lot of duplicate items!
AFTER: Like items were grouped together and all of the plastic bags were removed. Canned goods were moved to the cupboard. Now you can see the floor, as well as all of the contents!
Entry Closet
BEFORE: This closet had a lot of wasted space and little organization!
AFTER: Now the space is fully utilized! Shelves were added to hold categorized bins for containing different sports/weather equipment.
