I am always conscious of how sharing organizing makeovers can make my clients feel. Though there are certainly situations where the client is not comfortable with my sharing photo’s, anything I share here on my site is with their full permission! With that disclaimer out of the way I’m sharing photos of a recent job where we focused on Organizing the guest room and closet in preparation for guest arrival over the holidays. We spent a week working together sorting, cleaning, purging, hanging artwork and re-organizing these areas.
Often, guest rooms and other unused spaces can become a “catch-all” for clutter.
Things we are not ready to part with somehow make their way to spaces that are less frequently used. They don’t stare us in the face each day and therefore their priority level drops to the bottom of the heap! And what a HEAP we are left to deal with at times! There were 20+ years worth of clothes to sort through, purge and re-organize by current season and out of season. The current season clothes were to be moved to the Master Closet and out of season to remain hanging in the Guest Closet (pending space).
They donated all of this and another full white bag for consignment (not shown). I’d estimate over 300 lbs of clothing and household linens. Not bad work for a weeks work!
I know this client’s guests will feel comfortable in this room now and there is still plenty of room in that closet for guests clothes. Do you have space in your home your ready to reclaim?
