Did a little garage project this weekend...mine, or should I say John's garage?! Just a few side-by-side before and after pics. Check out my photos for more pictures of the disaster that it WAS and the refreshing functional space it now IS.

And yes, I know that shelf is sagging a bit, re-enforcements are coming.

A lot of people ask about pricing so I wanted to give you some idea of where it starts. None of these rates include any containers/shelves/supplies, they are simply my charges for my time and services. The hours do not include a consultation or time spent shopping for your containers/supplies...that time is always free to you.

For a pantry or small closet - base rate is $150-200 (8 hours max)
Walk-in closets/pantry - $200-400 (16 hours max)
Office/small room (max of 200 sq. ft) - $350-500 (20 hours max)
Cabinets & drawers (each cabinet and each drawer counts as 1)
10 or less in total - $200-300 (10 hours max)
11 or more - $350-550 (20 hours max)
Rooms (over 200 sq ft) - $500-800 (32 hours max)

These are all based on the scope of your project, which we will assess during your free consultation. Container pricing is yours to decide and can vary widely, but nothing is EVER purchased without your approval.

I can do smaller projects like your file cabinet and larger ones like your garage, but those aren't particularly common so I don't have standardized pricing on them yet.

This is a supply closet for a local business. They have lots of promotional materials for tradeshows and conferences but after relocating to a new large office space, they had needed some help getting everything organized and easy to locate. Check out the before and after! Now they can see everything they have in stock and know when to order more, plus they have the entire back corner shelf open and a even more space for more shelving units if needed. This was a 6 hour project…that’s it!

This is a little project for an elderly woman in our community. There was some concern about the amounts of medications piling up in her home so we collected two totes full from the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and end table in the living room. As I sorted, I tossed everything expired, and tried to properly dispose of all the pills at one of those drop off locations. We tossed over a $1000 of expired medications and personal hygiene supplies, most of which was NEVER even opened. The final photo is all that remained and will be put back into her medicine cabinet and/or closet in her bathroom.

This was a situation that posed a great danger to someone as most of the things that had expired, did so in 2010-2017. This isn’t some major or beautiful project, but sometimes they don’t need to be, they just need to be done in order to protect the ones we love!

You know those Capital One commercials…”What’s in your wallet?!” Well what’s in your bathroom cabinets/drawers?!? Could a little organization actually GIVE you more space?! Could a purge and sort SAVE you money?!

This project took 3 hours start to finish. Opened up newly 99% of one entire cabinet so they have space to store extra toilet paper and medication that was taking up valuable walk-in closet space. The containers cost $150 and the amount of money they will save now that they can see what is actually in there and how much they have will FAR exceed that $150!!

Let me help you do this to your space…your bathroom, your kitchen pantry/cabinets, your office, your closet…wherever you need it, I can do it.

Did you see the before pics?! This is AFTER! I’ll post side-by-side images later but things to note about this project…

1) It took 3 hours (my time, not theirs) from start to finish which included removing all contents of two cabinets and four drawers, cleaning the cabinets and drawers, measuring, sorting the contents and categorizing, then organizing them into containers and placing back in the cabinets/drawers.

2) The containers purchased cost $150, which is likely less than the amount of products we threw away that were old, expired or unused. P.S. We filled a regular 13 gallon size kitchen trash bag with products/items disposed.

3) The ENTIRE right side cabinet is 99.5% EMPTY now!! They now have space to store extra toilet paper/cleaning products/medication…all of which is currently taking up valuable space in their walk-in closet.

Let me help you find more space and discover a functional way to live with your stuff!

Does your bathroom cabinets and drawers look like this?!?! Stay tuned for the transformation but while you wait, think about how much money is wasted under there simply because they can’t find anything so they buy more!! 🤔💸
