Make Space for the things that matter
Closets + Clothes
Out of sight, out of mind. It’s so easy to close a door and hide the clutter. Our closets collect years of memories, changing seasons, and hopes for the future. Our clothes are personal objects that carry so much emotion in their fabrics, the cut of a jean, the crop of a top—our wardrobes are filled with what makes up some much of who we are, or many times who we were. Life changes, house moves, body changes, new jobs, new relationships, all opportunities to pair down, sort through, and fall in love with your stuff again.
Our Wardrobe Home Edit begins with taking inventory of ALL OF THE THINGS. This can be an overwhelming and emotional step. But no fear, we’ll be by your side to help you sort through and decide on the future of these items; Keep, Restyle, Sell, or Donate, we’ll create a plan for each category. Once we’ve edited down and re-organized, we’ll help you style your closets in a way that allows you to see and live with your new, favorite, edited items. You got this. We’ve got your back. (Yes, you can keep one pair of jeggings. Just one.)
Books + Paper
“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” - Mason Cooley
The size of our libraries vary from home to home, and like our wardrobes, our books are personal expressions of times in our lives and reflections of the stories and ideas who make us who we are. Much like our relationships, our books can serve us for a period of time and move on, or stay with us forever. Our Library Home Edit starts with gathering ALL your books, yes from every nook and cranny in your home, and getting a feel for how they make you feel when you hold them in your hands. Do they still bring you the happiness they once did? Do you still reference them for support and advice? Are you a generous book loaner? We’ll help design a plan and organize these treasured pieces, and help you live among the library that makes you, well, you.
School work, bills, taxes, mail, notes, cards, and post-its—as electronic as our lives have become, we still are inundated with paper. Scraps and notes fill our spaces as reminders, to-dos, and dreaded tasks that rob us from peace of mind and living in the present. We will address all your paper products and help design a plan for organizing and addressing these items as they arrive. We use the F.A.T. Paper strategy—File. Act. Trash.—to every scrap that comes into your home. And of course, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Little People Stuff
Kids take up big space in our hearts and minds…and in our homes! Organizing kids’ toys, clothes, and clutter can feel overwhelming and futile. Birthdays, holidays and hobbies can make keeping up with kids’ stuff impossible. If your living space is booby-trapped with Lego pieces, we’re talking to you. Kids’ belongings bring so much joy to our little friends, but they don’t have to take center stage in your home. Our Kids Home Edit methods will help your family get a handle on minimizing clutter, while maximizing quality time.
Depending on the age of your kiddos, we encourage making them a part of the editing process. Helping kids to understand the importance of value and privilege of having “things” will help with establishing a life-long attitude of gratefulness and charity. We’ll help you sort through that black hole of a playroom for age-appropriate toys, duplicates, and storage solutions. Our methods will help sort through seasonal clothes, and sentimental items for keepsakes. Is every room in your house a toy box? We can help!
Kitchen + Komono
Komono. What a fun little word. But there’s nothing “little” about “Komono”— miscellaneous things that make up a bulk of your stuff. Makeup, electronics, dishes, and random household items all fall under Komono, and depending on the household, this category could take up a majority of your possessions. We help minimize and organize these every day items into tidy piles of joy and efficiency. Doesn’t that sound like fun? (Oh gosh, we are tidy nerding-out, aren’t we? Forgive us, we love this stuff!)
We group Kitchen with Komono because often our Kitchens are the centers of our homes. Places we gather for meals, celebrations, lunch-making, weekend breakfast lounging, and the place where our lives intersect with other family members. If you have a teenager, I'm wiling to bet 87% of the time you see them is in the kitchen.
Our Kitchen + Komono Home Edit will take on cabinet by cabinet, pantry shelf by pantry shelf. Weeding out, pairing down, giving you access to the items your family uses daily, and storing special seasonal items and appliances for easy access. We’ll create an HQ that will serve as a place for notes, incoming paper, family communication and miscellany, so you can enjoy your kitchen and dining areas free from stress and commitments.
Garage + Outdoor
Oh man. Where to begin? Our poor garages. Collectors of all the things that aren’t worthy to live inside our homes. Cold, (in Texas, HOT), lonely dwellings of all the outcast items that are dirty, dingy and forgotten. Lawn tools, old tires, bikes and back stock—our garages are important spaces that serve as mini-storage units for our lives, but they don’t have to be sad spaces. I bet you’ve never aspired to fall in love with a garage. But we hope to change that.
Imagine walking into your garage and feeling happy, refreshed, renewed! Ok, maybe just imagine being able to find that screwdriver you’ve been looking for since college. Whether you are looking to make space for a home gym, or just a place to slide your vehicle into a safe space overnight, we will help you sort out your aspirations to achieve your ultimate #garagegoals.
Our Garage + Outdoor Home Edit is a full day of fun and games. Just kidding, it’s hard work. But so worth it! We’ll begin by imagining your dream garage, and then we’ll take everything out and start from scratch. Yes, warn your neighbors. There will be music. There might be beer. And there will be lots and lots of dirt. Get your “paint clothes” ready. As Jay-Z put it best, It’s. About. To Go. Down.
