EDIT FIRST!!!
š
Going out to buy organizing solutions inspired by a video or reel BEFORE editing the contents of your space, is like buying new sports equipment before deciding which sport you actually play. š¤·š½āāļø Imagine investing in a helmet and shoulder pads only to decide you want to play basketball?

I canāt tell you the amount of clients who order products in advance based on beautiful reels or product-inspired videos, only to still learn it is not the best solutionā¦ donāt get sucked in!
ā¢
Organizing is an investment (time and $$$) because itās intended to be a customized service. I know we make it look easy, but itās not for the faint of heart. Whether hiring a professional or you embrace DIY Projects, EDIT FIRST! Youāll have a clear understanding of your needs and what you are keeping and can select the best product or service that matches your desired goals.
ā¢
Common results when purchasing products and systems before the EDIT:
-installing Custom closet systems that cannot properly accommodate your clothingāa large long-hanging section when you are in greater need of double hanging space.
-not enough shelves in closet to store shoes, folded clothes or accessories
-bins that are not deep enough and making best use of maximizing depth of shelves
ā¢
Better approach: even if choosing to complete task yourself, consult an organizer for a Space Audit and Plan to carry out your project. This service can also be accomplished virtually with guidance.
Tip: if looking for inspiration from an Organizer who understands designing a layout based on the actual contents of your closet, head on over to Optimization Dolls for a true behind the scene picture! I too am often inspired.
