We’re so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate Ari and help make the day filled with so much love, laughter, and wonderful memories.

At Organize My Place, we know that the spaces we create are about more than just being organized—they’re about the people, moments, and memories that make a house feel like home. Days like this are a beautiful reminder of how special community and connection truly are.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, celebrated, and made Ari feel so loved. We’re incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️

SOME BOXES HOLD MORE THAN BELONGINGS. THEY HOLD DECADES.

Not every organizing project is about a messy junk drawer. Some are about a lifetime.

For many of our clients, especially those navigating a downsize, a move to a smaller space, or simply a season of letting go, the hardest part isn’t the sorting. It’s the deciding. A photo album. A drawer of old birthday cards. These aren’t clutter. They’re a life, and choosing what stays and what goes can feel impossible to do alone.

That’s why our approach is never rushed. Ari, Jess, and the team are there to 𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑡, 𝑟𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑 alongside you, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, without judgment, and without a stopwatch. Just steady hands and patient ears, for as long as it takes to feel right.

Because at the end of the day, the goal isn’t an empty room. It’s a safe, functional space that still feels like 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

Have you ever had to help someone you love sort through a lifetime of belongings?

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗦𝗡’𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗘. 𝗜𝗧’𝗦 𝗔 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚.

Think about the entryway table by your front door. It probably didn’t start as a dumping ground. One day it was just the mail. Then a set of keys that didn’t have a hook yet. Then a stray charger cable, a birthday card you meant to send, a pair of sunglasses “just for now.”

None of it was a big decision in the moment. That’s exactly the problem.

It’s about the tiny, unmade decision that object represents. Every single item resting on a surface in your home is a question you haven’t answered yet — 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮? 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙜𝙤? 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚? — and until you answer it, that item just... waits there. Multiplying. Inviting friends.

That’s why a cluttered surface feels so much heavier than the actual weight of what’s on it. Your eyes land on it a dozen times a day, and a dozen times a day your brain quietly registers: 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱. It’s low-grade mental noise you’ve just learned to tune out — except your nervous system never really tunes it out completely.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Not in a strict, no-fun, everything-must-be-empty way — more like: every flat space in your home is asking you to make a choice on purpose, instead of letting choices pile up by accident. A counter can hold a beautiful bowl of fruit, or it can hold six months of “I’ll deal with it later.” The surface doesn’t care which one you pick. But you will feel the difference.

So which surface is it for you? Which one did clutter to on its own while you weren’t looking?

🐾 Even the dog deserves an organized closet!

Leashes, harnesses, grooming supplies, toys and all those little pet essentials can quickly turn into clutter.

For this dog closet, we used clear shoe boxes from Amazon to give everything its own home while keeping items visible and easy to grab. Simple, affordable products can make a huge difference — and make it much easier to keep the space organized long-term.

✨ Has your pet gear taken over a closet, drawer or corner of your home? Let OMP create a system that works for you (and your four-legged family members 🐶).

Most people have a story about hiring someone who did exactly what the contract said, nothing more. They finished the checklist, packed up, and left the rest for you to figure out. Will Hoggan’s story is different. When his organizing and clean-out project turned out to be bigger than expected, Jess didn’t stop at “that’s not what we agreed on.” She saw the gap, stepped into it, and carried the project all the way to resolution, the kind of ownership that ends up saving you more time and money than the invoice ever shows. That’s the quiet difference between someone who does a job and someone who takes care of you.

Have you ever hired someone who did more than the job required, without being asked twice?

✨ LINEN CLOSET MAKEOVER ✨

Has your linen closet gotten a little out of control? 👀

This closet had plenty of vertical space — just not enough shelves to actually use it!

One of our favorite budget-friendly organizing hacks is heading to Home Depot and having wooden shelf boards cut to size. We added extra shelving + support pins for under $70 🙌

Then we added shelf dividers to keep towels, linens and categories separated, so everything has a home and — most importantly — it’s easy to maintain.

💡 Sometimes you don’t need a whole new closet system. A few extra shelves can completely transform the space.

Is there a closet in your home that’s driving you crazy?

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗢𝗫𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡’𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧. 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗜𝗦. 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴.

Moving day gets all the attention, but it’s the weeks after that actually break people. The adrenaline fades, the boxes are still stacked against the wall, and suddenly the playroom, the kitchen, and the walk-in wardrobe all need to function again today. That’s exactly the chaos Charlotte was in when Jess and her team came in, and by the time they left, three of the busiest rooms in the house were unpacked, organized, and actually livable again. Cody’s experience echoes the same thing: not just help, but a team that made the whole process feel easy. Sometimes the best compliment isn’t “they finished the job”, it’s “they were a pleasure to have in the house.”

STOP SPENDING YOUR ENTIRE WEEKEND CLEANING THE HOUSE.

We’ve all been there. It’s Saturday morning, and instead of relaxing with your coffee, you’re staring down a mountain of laundry, a cluttered kitchen counter, and floors that desperately need to be vacuumed. You spend your 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑟𝑒 weekend trying to reset your home, only for it to fall apart again by Wednesday. It’s an exhausting cycle that leaves you feeling drained in your own sanctuary.

But here is the truth: a peaceful, organized home isn’t the result of marathon cleaning sessions. It’s about 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀.

When you implement small, repeatable daily habits, like wiping the counters right after dinner, putting away your clothes as soon as you take them off, or doing a quick 10-minute nightly tidy, you build a foundation of 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝑙𝑖𝘁𝘆. Because simple habits are consistent, the mess never gets the chance to build up into an overwhelming monster. Small, repeatable steps protect the order in your home, making your space infinitely easier to manage day in and day out. Reclaim your weekends and let your routines do the heavy lifting!

STOP LETTING YOUR GARAGE STORE EVERYTHING BUT YOUR CAR

If your garage has slowly become the place where clutter goes to disappear, you’re not alone, and you don’t need a full demo day to fix it.

Most garage overhauls fail for one reason: they start too big. The fix isn’t a weekend of gutting the whole space. It’s picking 𝑜𝑛𝑒 corner and actually finishing it before moving to the next.

From there, keep it simple. Sort everything into three piles, 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽, 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗧𝗼𝘀𝘀 , no “maybe” allowed. Then look up, not just around: pegboards and wall hooks free up floor space fast, and that’s usually the difference between a storage unit and a space you can actually 𝘂𝘀𝗲.

𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 for the full 3-step method.

Save this for the next time you open that garage door and immediately close it again.

What’s the one corner of your garage that needs this the most?

THE GARAGE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE SCARIEST ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE.

We all have that one space. You open the door, toss an item inside, and shut it as quickly as possible before the avalanche hits. For most of us, it’s the garage. It becomes the ultimate drop zone for holiday decor, abandoned hobbies, and boxes labeled “I’ll deal with this later.” But eventually, “later” arrives, and the sheer volume of stuff becomes entirely paralyzing to face on a Saturday morning.

Take a look at the quote card above. 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮.

You don’t just get your floor space back; you get a customized, functional layout designed around exactly what you need to store. Imagine walking into a clean, brilliantly organized zone where every single tool, bin, and bicycle has a purposeful home.

What is the one item taking up the most unnecessary space in your garage right now? Tell me below! 👇
