My Biggest Transformation Yet....

Almost 3 years ago, I tackled the biggest organizing job of my career! I was hired to organize a church/pre-school, which included 8 classrooms and 3 large supply closets. To date, it was my most challenging job, but also the most rewarding. I loved working with so many teachers, and helping them clear the clutter & get their classrooms/closets back!

 

Check out these transformations....

 

 

 

Hopefully these before & after pictures will inspire you to tackle a closet or area in your home. Or if you're too overwhelmed/don't have time, I'd be happy to help! :)

Transformation Tuesday: Big Bro to Little Bro Closet

My goal this month is to inspire you to de-clutter at least one space in your home! Of course, if you don't feel like doing it on your own, I would be happy to help. Just comment below to set up a consultation :)

Regardless, I think the best way to inspire people is to show them what's possible.....

 

Here is a toddler's closet that I turned into a nursery closet for his soon-to-be little brother:

*Let's see that "after" shot one more time!*

Ahhhh! You can actually vacuum in there now :)

This client was lucky enough to have TWO closets for her little man, so I designated the one on the left  as the linens / diapers / wipes / miscellaneous closet. And I used chalk labels for the bins up top, which hold bathing suits, crib sheets, and carriers:

 

And in the closet on the right, I cataloged all of big brother's old clothes into large tubs, so that little brother can wear them down the road !! This was a long & tedious process, but it was worth it to create a system for my client that is low-maintenance & easily accessible.

I labeled the bins up top with mini-chalkboards (attached with Velcro) and a chalk pen. These 3 bins house "too small" shoes, mementos, and "too big shoes."

 

I repurposed some Rubbermaid tubs from another room, and used dry-erase labels to identify the clothing size for each tub. It's a pretty simple system, but it's just about finding the time to get started.

Tuesday Transformation: Playroom!

I wanted to show some before & after pictures of a playroom I helped to transform recently! This momma called me because she needed a system for their growing toy collection, especially since they have a second child on the way.

 

This is what I was dealing with:

 

I recommended getting a piece of storage furniture, with lots of cubbies that her son could label. (So he wouldn't have the excuse "I don't know where it goes!" when it was clean-up time :)

 

We spent a few hours categorizing the toys, throwing away broken pieces, and deciding which items to sell/donate. And here is what we ended up with:

 

I love these mini-chalkboards, and I think her son did an awesome job with the artwork on the labels!!

 

Let's look at the before & after pictures, side by side:

 

I also organized underneath her TV cabinet in the playroom.....which just required locating a few puzzle pieces, sorting & purging a few items, and then storing "like" items together.

Here is a before & after shot:
