Home organizing services can make a great holiday gift for a loved one or family member who has everything . . . but not always with a place to put it!

De-cluttering and organizing can transform your home into the ideal place to relax and entertain. Such services are also key for those contemplating a move, about to do a reno or parents who are tired of feeling far from calm and serene in a house riddled with toys and other ‘stuff.’

Offering reasonable rates and discounts on packages of 4 hours+/= or multi-session purchases. Let me know if I can be of service to you or yours this holiday or beyond!

P.S. If you’re wondering whether I can add value to your space, read what a client said after just two sessions:

“As I work from home, my space has to work well for me personally and professionally . . . After Caroline re-oriented furniture, developed organization systems, evolved a cohesive look and moved items I use daily to make everything look great and also work better, instead of considering a move, I now love everything!
The end result was much more than I’d hoped for.”
- Martha, Deer Park resident

Fall's coming, a time to transition clothes seasonally for the changing weather. Transition is also an opportunity to examine what you have, decide its value and streamline your clothes to give you a well-organized collection that suits and fits you, that you love to wear . . .

Steps for a streamlined closet:

1. REMOVE ALL LIKE ITEMS, AS A GROUP, i.e. shirts, sweaters, or pants / bottoms. Put aside any that you haven’t worn in 6 or more months.

2. EXAMINE EACH ITEM - Ensure it's clean, in good repair and reflects your taste & style. If you're unsure about fit, try item(s) on.

3. SORT PIECES – Put items in piles for
a) Things you value and enjoy wearing
b) Need repair / cleaning
c) No longer fits or suits you + things you haven’t worn, to be given away
d) Items so damaged / worn that it warrants getting rid of them.

4. ACTION THE ITEMS, as needed - Clean and / or drop off for repair things that need attention. Take donation items to a drop off box or call Canadian Diabetes’ Clothesline program for home pick up. Discard damaged items or re-purpose them for household tasks.

5. SEPARATE ITEMS SEASONALLY – If your closet has limited space, move out of season clothing to storage elsewhere. Make sure clothing is clean before putting it away.

6. CLASSIFY ITEMS - separate items by type, grouping like with like, and organizing them by weight, colour or formality, whatever makes sense to you.

7. RETURN TO YOUR CLOSET all the items you value, enjoy wearing, and that are in good condition & ready to wear.

7. CLASSIFY ITEMS – separate items by type, grouping like items with like, i.e. pants and bottoms; tops; jackets and blazers, etc.

Now congratulate yourself for a job well done and enjoy getting ready faster and more easily each morning!

Enjoy the cool weather and, hopefully, a closet that gives you ready access to the things you most wish to wear!
