CLOSET/WARDROBE: Having a fabulous wardrobe can really boost a client’s confidence and outlook on life! But if those gorgeous new outfits don’t have the proper places to “live,” it can lead to frustration as she tries to make order of the piles of t-shirts, scarves, and skinny jeans. In this lesson, you’ll learn my favorite process for getting closets and clothing in order, as well as some tried and true tips to keep it “always organized.” When preparing for the perfect closet, the goal is to come up with a system that will allow minimal maintenance effort, while maximizing space, time, and wardrobe. You’ll work through clothing in both the master closet and the drawers and other storage areas that come into play.

dreamstime_m_26189170-kitchenKITCHEN: Learn to tackle the most-used room in the house — the kitchen! You’ll sort through old Tupperware containers, cull the collection of mugs, toss expired foods in the pantry, and make the fridge fabulous and functional. This lesson will teach you to maximize the space in any kitchen, whether it’s a large cook’s kitchen or a tiny galley-style space. It’s not about the size of the room. It’s about how you use it. You will learn how to organize any kitchen for maximum efficiency and make it beautiful to boot. This project can take anywhere from three to ten hours, so you have the option to tackle it all at once or break it up into two or three sessions.

Ikea-EntrywayENTRYWAY: A quick and easy beginners’ project is the front entryway. You’ll learn to clear the way for coats and find a home for hats, mittens, scarves, and bags. This challenge will teach you to maximize the space in the entryway and make sure everything there is helpful and intentional. No matter the size of this space, you will learn helpful tips and processes to whip it into shape in no time! Includes tons of ideas to maximize small spaces and create storage even if there is a small (or no) closet.

I created this program because many of you have reached out to me, telling me that while you love to organize, you lack the confidence, motivation, process, product knowledge, or accountability to gain organizing experience in clients’ homes. So what better place to learn than in your own home or a friend’s home? The lessons will guide you to step outside your comfort zone and create order and beauty in a variety of spaces. 

You’ll be on your way to becoming a full-fledged organizing guru! I truly believe that by organizing and beautifying one space at a time, we create pure joy in our clients’ homes.
