One pantry.. two pantry.. three pantry.. FOUR!

Until I was able to attack the pantry after the move, it was more survival mode.

Again with the steps:
1: Assess
2: Pull everything out of the space.
3: Put grouped items back in the pantry to see how much room each group takes up. I.e. Baking, breakfast, pastas, beans, snacks, etc.
4: Make it work. Ask what do you go to the most? What do you want available for little hands to get to? …
5: Voila! A tailored pantry suited for your family🙌

Got a few things left to do with this pantry. Also made sure to leave room and a few organizing tools for future items. 😉

It’s always funny to say this… I was bought by a realtor to help her client make the moving process a bit easier. Packing one house to unpacking and setting up the new house.

Lucky me, the mom and I enjoy each others company so much that I was asked to continue my work and see her through til the end. 🤗

Using the playroom as an example of how I can help make your transition a bit easier.. especially if you have a six month old and a three year old needing your attention throughout. 😅

I believe the key to success is to take that extra step to pack with labels making it easier to unpack in the correct rooms at the new house. Push all boxes to one side to be able to see the scope of what you have and how to layout your findings.

This job is still ongoing and incredibly exciting for me to be able to set them up efficiently from the start. This momma definitely has the skills to do all this herself. 👌 Though she also has no time and momma brain fog that could use a companion to help from start to finish. Doing it all yourself while your partner is working shows she’s one tough, badass mom to say the least.

It’s been great getting to know this family and making a new friend for what we see as for life. 🙌❤️ One box at a time she and I will conquer!

What became a quick search..
Garages can become a catch all. Sometimes locating swim floaters can entail moving quite a few things out of the garage before you can reach them. 🤦‍♀️

But once you do.. try having a plan when putting back all that partial junk.

Did that this morning to my garage.

When I was done I turned around and thought, “it’s not perfection, but it’s definitely better.”

It’s about the better, not perfection. If your striving for perfection with an ever revolving door of “stuff” for your kids.. you will be striving for a long time.

👌 Finding this balance is what it’s all about.

Don’t forget the little (but HUGE) things before showcasing your home!

Upkeep with areas like the refrigerator, trash and under the sink are crucial and could be viewed as how you took care of your home.

Side note: We are human. Things gets messy. Means you’re living. 🙌

Make it shine!! 🤩

When I assist you in getting your home listing ready I do whatever it takes to get you there. Even if it means kitchen and bathroom clean out!

Came in to only paint a few walls to calm the bright green and yellow walls, but absolutely could not leave until all the blue, yellow, and green trim calmed down with it.

After three gallons (1 gallon Primer + 2 gallons Glidden Bright White)and three coats of paint on all the trim, this two bedroom condo is now move-in ready.

Learning accuracy of timing as I go on my business journey. I must say.. do not underestimate the length of time it takes to do trim! Especially if it is a bright color to begin with.

In any case, I am so so glad the client agreed with the last minute idea to paint all the trim. Instantly transformed the space into the calmer vibe he was looking for.

I haven’t posted recently about a job I’m working on because some jobs become personal and more than any picture I could show.

To let you in to this latest project, I’ll show you the two-hour spiff up of the garage to get it a bit more listing ready. This is also the area I chose to quickly calm when she became overwhelmed of the job before us.

Intermittently over this last month I’ve had the pleasure of working for an extraordinary woman. Recently widowed from loosing her soul mate, I was called in by her realtor to lend a more personal hand as she makes this transition.

Grief is an experience I know well. On the same note, grief is different for all. Walking into this project I immediately knew this wasn’t a project to just get to the end on. This was, and still is, a project we take day by day. One foot in front of the other. A couple days I worked solo to make some visual progress, but most days (and my absolute favorite days) the conversation through each item we pack, makes a lasting impression on both of our hearts.

Tween rooms are all about expressing themselves. I’m always a little hesitant going into their room knowing what angst may be brewing in their minds. After all, “who is this lady coming into my room!?”

So, before every kiddo project I enter, not just for documentation sake, I do my best to take detailed before and afters of their room as to not loose their unique self in my decluttering. Carefully taking every sticker off the wall. Taking down every poster that seems to be glued to the wall, and wiping the vanity off while leaving a bit of their art still there. For this vanity, I told her I was only wiping it to give her a new canvas. She seemed to muster up a slight smile and giggle after that one. I hope when she sees all her stickers still useable, a new cork board for her tiny Polaroids (and hopefully stickers😛), the Christmas lights that were once strung on her wall, wrapped nicely in the storage tower by her door, waiting for her own decorating touches, she’ll feel a little less invaded. 🤞

And maybe, just maybe, feeling FREE to BE creative in a room that’s made just for her❤️ Not that she lacks any creativity.

For parents who are working hard to provide the best life for their kids and choose not to spend their minutes arguing with their children about cleaning their space.. I commend you. Truly. My son thinks the only reason I walk into his room is to tell him to do this or that with it.
So you see.. two sides to this battle. You choose.

To this badass Mom and her sweet tween daughter, I’ve got your back.
