This move started on Tuesday morning and was a multi-destination move, with some items going to a new apartment while others go to storage while custom work is done in the new apartment.
We packed, unpacked and developed systems to get this family of 4 settled in their new space seamlessly. Some of the solutions are temporary - we will be back when the construction work is complete to make all required adjustments! The good news is thy are fully settled and thrilled with the results in such a short timeframe! Of you are moving this spring or summer and want help getting settled QUICKLY, we are here for you!

This kids crafting closet transformation was designed for real NYC family life where space is limited and systems need to be easy for kids to maintain. We turned a cluttered craft closet into a functional kids organization system with labeled bins, paper storage, art supplies organization, and kid-friendly shelving that supports creativity without the mess. Ideal for NYC apartment organization, small closet organization, playroom storage ideas, and families looking for practical kids craft storage solutions that work in tight spaces.
