Before + After: Closet and Dressing Room Makeover

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

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.
