A big declutter

K House

K invited me to come over and see what we can do with her garage. We chatted for a bit, talked about her goal of parking her car in the garage, and decided that with all the gear she owns for camping, kayaking, biking, etc., she needs to buy a shed for her backyard. 

Here's where she plans to place her shed....

And here's the garage itself.

I'll be meeting with K again later in the month to see the new shed and see her progress. Yay! 

W House, Day 3: Finishing Up

The closet I started yesterday is now clear, except for the curtain rod...

The master closet looking pretty sweet...

Now for the big guy. This storage room needed to be sorted and reorganized, to make room for the heavy boxes still living in the bedrooms and closets. Some "during" shots:

Some "before" shots of the office where I pulled everything from the storage room:

Working on this linen closet made me especially happy:

W House, Day 2

Just chillin out waiting for the house to be unlocked. I'm so grateful for the work that's coming my way right now. 

Today I worked in the pantry. Once again I forgot to take "before" pics! I was asked to pack the small stuff and leave the heavy items.

A bedroom closet I started working on

Getting hot and sweaty!

The house is getting new floors today, so I had some company while I worked. Floor Guy is very kind and fun to chat with.

Once everything is ready, Hubby and I plan to go to the open house and see how it all shaped up.

Many of us have "that room"

Here's mine - the basement bedroom. These are "during" shots. 

Testimonials

Some kind words about work I've done:

"Natalie was an absolute lifesaver in helping me declutter before a move. After accumulating SO much while raising our four kids in a 2800 sq. ft. home, we were downsizing to just 900 sq. ft. and I was completely emotionally attached to every bit of my stuff. Natalie was amazing!  She spoke calmly with me throughout the process. She gently reassured and gave time for me to process an item if I was not quite ready to let go of it.  Over the course of several days she prepared dozens of bags and boxes to donate, constantly comforting and encouraging me. Natalie has not only a gift for decluttering, but of supporting people in the process.  I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs this service!"

"I highly recommend Natalie Holt.  Last spring I needed her help going thru and organizing everything for my disabled son's move to a new location out of state. Her ability to organize was beyond anything I had thought of. She showed me how  to simplify our packing, and made the whole process less stressful. I am beyond thankful for her help. I would definitely use Natalie again."

M House, Day 1

(Photos shared with permission)

Today I spent three hours decluttering M's office and craft space in her bedroom. M's goals for today were to better organize her office space, and to clear a space for her sewing machine and a workspace for her jewelry-making and soapmaking projects. 

This will be an ongoing project. Here are some "before" and "after" shots of what we accomplished today...

One final shot...

I'm excited to meet with M again next week and make even more progress! Great work, M!
