Organize Your Inner Child

November 1, 2018

It turns out there is something kids like to organize. Halloween Candy! Do you remember rushing home from trick or treating to methodically sort and count your sugary riches?

This is one of the best ways to start organizing a space as well. That’s because it’s kind of fun to see all that I have. It makes me feel more abundant, and generous. It makes it way easier for my kids to share candy with others and hold it more lightly. It may make you feel the same way about the other stuff in your life, too.

Sometimes organizing a space can feel overwhelming, but imagine it is all just like Halloween candy. Take everything out, and sort it into categories of like with like. It might appeal to the inner child in you, as well.

Happy November,
Lauren

“I had organized my art room many times, but I didn’t have a system to keep it organized. Lauren helped me rethink, define, purge and set up a manageable system according to my values and needs. She asked great questions and got to the essence of what I wanted. She helped me repurpose existing furniture to create space, a sense of calm, and increase productivity. I appreciated her ability to think outside the box, keep me encouraged and on task. The end result is freedom from clutter, unwanted things, and a space that reflects my individuality!”— Diane S., Ballard

“My office used to be a catch all space for stuff. Now it’s a place where I can focus my work. Our paperwork of the last few years is now neatly filed and easy to find. Lauren came with a plan, executed it and pushed us to make some changes in a few hours that could have taken us months to decide. We finally got rid of some items that were taking up space but never used. We love the transformation!” –Atma and Teresa S., Bryant

Lauren is wonderful to work with. She gently addresses the client’s needs with ease and professionalism. I would highly recommend her to any of my clients whether they need a little or a lot of organization in their lives! –Meredith Helmick, of Meredith Helmick Interiors, Montlake

“After I built my Adu, I decided to rent out my house, and move into the ADU instead. Lauren helped me work with a smaller kitchen and organize it so I actually cook! I also love the little toolbox she organized which replaces the need for an entire cabinet for all the leftover construction items.”— Kim F., Bryant

“Lauren was so helpful with organizing my hallway drop zone/ mud area, this area has been bugging me for way too long. In little over an hour, Lauren gave me ideas I hadn’t thought of and she also gave me some great ideas for organizing my bathroom as well. Now things have a home and the space doesn’t look like an unorganized drop zone, we even used bins and jars I already had. I highly recommend Lauren’s organizing services.” — Hannah E., Roosevelt

“Lauren helped us eliminate our external business office and merge it with our home office, which saves us commute time and thousands of dollars each month in overhead costs. My wife and I both use the space for different purposes, and Lauren helped us navigate those needs and come up with a thoughtful organization that works for both of us. We are very happy with our office!”— Bryan and Mary H., Hawthorne Hills
