Our client wanted help organizing her dressing room and closet area. Her walk-in closet only had one shelf and no additional storage.

In one day, two organizers were able to completely empty the entire garage, unpack every cardboard box, build additional shelving racks, and create categories so that the systems are easy to maintain for years to come.

Decision Fatigue & Your Wardrobe
People have been talking about decision fatigue for quite a while. Even back in 2015, The Huffington Post wrote: "We are constantly bombarded with tiny decisions throughout the day, like what to eat, what to wear or whether or not to respond to this email now.

For this post, I'm going to focus on decision fatigue as it related to your wardrobe. (For more tips on combating decision fatigue, read this!) A little wardrobe planning and organization could hold the key to minimizing decision fatigue and optimizing your experience of fashion satisfaction!

How to Keep Your Kid's Room Organized
It’s no secret that somehow our kids rooms can go from clean to looking like a tornado hit in the blink of an eye. While we can’t as easily control our children’s whirlwind, we can control the organization within their rooms. Face it, there’s probably some Goldfish hidden in their drawers, and dinosaurs behind the bed.
