Success Stories - Before and After

Home Office
Goal: Take one day to turn a cluttered guest room into a home office and workspace for an energetic and craft-loving elementary school teacher.
Dining Room
Goal: Find two hidden dining room tables buried under a pile of household clutter for a family who wanted to decide which one to keep. Once everything was sorted and given a new home elsewhere, the decision was easy.
Living Room
Goal: Create a clutter-free room for this homeowner who wanted nothing more than just to relax in front of her fireplace and feel comfortable in her spacious living room.
Laundry Room
Goal: The sign above the washing machine said, "Laundry is my life," and I had to ask, "Really?" Out went all the non-laundry items, replaced by two organized cabinets and a new space for sorting clean clothes. The sign now says, "Laundry is NOT my life."
Garage
Goal: It's Friday and this busy, working mom is hosting a fundraiser in her home on Saturday and the caterer needs the only space available, an overstuffed garage, to prepare food for 100 people. By Saturday night, the money is raised, the caterers are gone and so is the clutter.
Pantry
Goal: Make room for this San Francisco couple's favorite cookbooks, wines and pantry items and create a cheerful workspace for managing the household.
Foyer
Goal: Turn this dusty, cramped foyer leading to the dining room into a convenient storage area for flatware, serving trays and fine table linens and make entertaining a breeze.
Kitchen
Goal: Make it possible for this homeowner, recovering from an illness, to make her delicious lemon cookies again.
Home Office
Goal: Create a tidy, yet inspiring space for this business consultant who liked to think on her feet. Organize the essentials and create a place to scribe her big ideas on the wall. Shift the desk and she gets a whole new view of herself not to mention the trees outside.
Child's Room
Goal: Turn this former exercise room and "man cave" into a welcoming bedroom for this busy Dad's new stepson.
Bathroom Cabinet
Goal: Transform the bathroom cabinet under this executive's sink so she can quickly find what she needs in the morning to look her best and get going.
