For Home

Bedroom/Closet
The priority here was to create more storage for clothing and an easy to follow system to maintain organization.

Before
	Dresser drawers were overstuffed and the closet was disorganized. T-shirts were crumpled and spilling over the shelves. Formal wear, suits, and casual clothes were mixed between the guest and bedroom closets.
After
	Gym clothes and shorts were removed from the dresser and plastic bins were added to hold t-shirts, gym clothes, and shorts. The dresser then had more room for the left-over items and casual clothes were now in one location. All formal wear and suits were placed in the guest room along with sweaters. This allowed more space for casual work wear and weekend attire in the bedroom closet without the clutter of lesser worn items and out-of-season clothing.

Guest Room/Office
The cluttered room needed to be converted into a comfortable space for guests and a convenient place to work.

Before
	This space was cluttered with books, files, boxes not yet unpacked. Boxes were filled with photos, frames, souvenirs, files, and various other items. There was no storage space for the 100 + books and the closet had boxes of old bills and other paperwork.
After
	Boxes were emptied. The many photos, frames, and souvenirs were placed in archival bins and stored in the front hall’s storage closet. 2 bookcases were added to contain the books, files, and some office supplies. 2 extra tables already located in the office were used as night tables for the futon.

Living Room

Before
	The living room had many of the same issues as the office. Packed boxes were filled with cd’s, games, DVD, and VHS’s. Counter space in the kitchen was cluttered.
After
	The trunk contained VHS’s. The Entertainment Center held DVD’s and games. CD Towers were purchased. A spare shelving system was assembled and used to hold the wine and alcohol occupying one of the counter-tops.

Home Office

Before
	This family recently moved into their house and the home office was the last area to get organized. Items were shoved into boxes and onto shelves or scattered on the floor. There was nothing to hold the computer accessories either.
After
	Now, canvas bins contain office supplies and are labeled to make retrieval efficient. We purchased an inexpensive side table to hold the printer, scanner, and extra paper.

Bathroom

Before
	Old medicine and archaic styling products filled this bathroom. The first step was to toss the expired items.
After
	Utilizing the vainty drawers for smaller items such as makeup and the vanity's cabinet for cleaning products and extra shampoo, the counter was clear aexcept for tiered set bins that offered some quick access to oft-used items.

Basement
We transformed this cluttered basement into 3 zones: storage, work space, and future play area.

Before
	This area was full of random items leftover from moving into the house.
After
	After it was sorted and items were either moved to the storage area or the trash, we had plenty of space for a future play site.
Before
	This photo was taken midway through the project. We had boxed up alot of the items and labeled the bins.
After
	Simple Rubbermaid shelving is easy to assemble and provides great, inexpensive storage space. We arranged the layout and moved the fridge near an outlet so it could be used for large grocery purchases.

For Business
The following business wanted a better system of organization for stored supplies and better access to everyday used items. With a future re-design of the interior, the firm did not want to invest in new furniture or built-ins until the bigger project.

Supply/Copy Room
This area serves as the heart, where all fundamental and vital functions take place. One can learn a lot about a company upon observation of the copy room. An organized room not only projects an image of success and efficiency but actually helps achieve both. A busy employee needs to be able to easily obtain supplies, send faxes, or ship important materials.

Before
	The original storage system was not ideal. Magazine holders were used for papers and dividers which caused the paper to bend. The packaging materials were spread throughout the room. Computer equipment was mixed with office supplies.
After
	Horizontal plastic shelves replaced the mag holders so that paper and dividers could remain flat. Supplies were placed in small accessible drawers with easy to read labels which will encourage employees to maintain the organization. Files hold all the manuals for the different machines in the room and the packaging materials were moved underneath the counter by the postage meter and mailing labels.
Before
	There were many unused items in this shelving unit. Old computer equipment, cords, and cables. Boxes were stashed with a variety of items that were difficult to access and probably unknown to people in the office.
After
	All unnecessary items were eliminated and all electrical equipment was grouped together. Clear, labeled bins allow for effortless assessment of the contained items. Extra equipment was stored together. Routers are in one bin, extra vcr’s and their remotes in another, and spare cables and battery charges together.
Before
	The items on the counter were clustered together in no systematic manner. A small file/storage cart was nearly empty and held the binding machine at an inconvenient height for usage and located at a distance from the bindings.
After
	No storage units could be placed on the walls. Fortunately, there was plenty of space below and on the storage shelves for supplies. The cart was removed and the interior items were placed in the plastic drawers on the storage shelves and the binding materials were placed on top of the counter, a more convenient location.

Communal Space
This area, the work zone for the employees, needed an upgrade of storage space. Without the flexibility of purchasing a new piece of furniture, it was important to be resourceful and use items already in the office.

Before
	There was little storage space for paper and desk supplies. The multiple cords also made the area look messy.
After
	A storage cabinet from the library was placed next to the other one to hold extra paper and supplies. The boxes holding those items could then be removed. All drawers were labeled to maintain the present order. A cord control kit tamed the cords by bundling them together making the space neat and tidy.
