Zoe Grace Home

Nothing changed and yet everything changed.

This stunning closet just needed a good folding session and a few products to fill in the gaps. It took a few days and many folds to change the view.

Happy 4th of July!

As an organizer my own home is usually last on the list. Squeezed into off days and random moments. As a result of that and simply being human … the garage got well out of control. It was the stash zone for every and anything that didn’t have a place.

It became chaos and frankly was rendered unusable. We couldn’t even walk through the space.

What started as a goal to take some things that weren’t immediately needed to storage, turned into a full blown garage clean out. We also have a two-car garage that got tended to as well, but wasn’t nearly as bad.

The process… take everything out, sweep flooring, create piles (trash, storage, donate, sell), replace all that stays and take action onto the piles that don’t. Make sure everything that stays has a home. And organize cupboards and cabinets as desired.

Quick and easy edit… utilize trays to organize small categories of beautiful things. The best approach to making a space look more tidy is the art of corralling items. Bins. Baskets. Bowls. Or a beautiful tray. What once looked chaotic now looks beautifully calm.

Back to school. Back to routines. Back to basics.

Organizing doesn’t have to be an all or nothing task. Taking moments in between moments to tackle a little project or a small task end up being extraordinarily impactful.

In this case — corralling loose sandals and ballet flats to create space and tidy up a small category works wonders for cleaning up the chaos.

Little moments… office cabinets organized.

Work happens in the in between. These cabinets were organized weeks ago, but may as well share today. Getting motivated to organize more. This was the craft cabinet of the office. A great place for kids to get their creative juices flowing. And also a great place to ensure the creative chaos stays tidy.

All in a (yesterday’s) days work… the after’s and then the before’s.

A playroom fit for a princess. Crafts, dolls, games, gaming… when a single space is meant to manage so much. When a room can easily feel overwhelmed and out of touch. The answer, a little organization goes a long way.

This mama and I know the room will be chaotic 24 hours from now, but what we also know, is creating an easy way for the little lady to clean up will bring this mama joy.

A quick drawer refresh…

Out with the old, broken, expandable silverware tray. The drawer just wasn’t maximized. In the spaces where there wasn’t organization things were just thrown in.

And now… in with the new… A new color-way. New individual silverware trays (yes, one more is needed), if one breaks or wears down, one can easily be replaced. More functional use of the drawer and the items in it.

If you don’t know where to start when organizing - just start with one drawer, one cabinet, just one spot. It doesn’t have to be huge. Once one space is complete, you’ll be inspired to tackle another one.

Hello Gorgeous!

Boy do I love kitchen’s and pantries. They are just so uniquely different in every single way. Layout. Drawers vs cabinets. Storage space. Counter space. Hidden spaces.

Tucking all my clients things into unique and different spaces creatively. That’s the joy of this gig.

An entire kitchen & pantry with a product shop in the middle done and complete in 4hours.

It’s all about focus and efficiency. It’s talking to clients about their specific needs and how they function in their home. It’s about applying what is discovered to improved function and usability.

Organizing is an art, not a science. There is never only one way to do something. And the end goal is always, how can the client sustain this once I’m gone. How can I create a space that works better with how they function and flow.

You may notice labels are missing. That’s because not everyone loves labels. Listen to your clients. Create a space for them! That’s always then end goal. Where I love light labeling, I love my clients more. And they get what they ask for.

Organizing can be intimidating. But the goal is always to do the best job efficiently and effectively. Love my clients. Love their homes. Love this work.
