Sometimes the best gifts aren’t things.

This client used our services as a Christmas Surprise for her husband. They recently moved into their new home and didn’t have the time to get their garage organized.

“What a great experience! They were so friendly and knowledgeable and they did exactly what I was looking for…”

“When I started the search to have my garage organized for a surprise for my husband I wasn’t really sure this was a “thing”. But it was and I am so happy with the end result.

My husband now has an organized garage and everything has its own home and label.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

The process:

These are the steps we followed:

• Initial conversation with the client to understand her goals and the desired outcome.
• Go through every item in the garage. 
• Sort items together: Tools, camping gear, gym equipment, winter gear, gardening tools…
• Create a “donation” pile. We took all the unwanted items at the end of the session and donated them.
• Create a “for sale” pile with the items our client wanted to sell. 
• Photograph and measure “for sale” items. They were ready to be listed online.
• Keep an ongoing to-do list with all the tasks that come up while going through the items.
• Uninstall existing hooks from the wall.
• Set up designated sections: gym section, tools section, gardening section, storage section, garbage section…
• Decide the most convenient “home” for every item. 
• Install hooks to suit the new organizing system.
• Place every item in its new “home”
• Label items for easy access if necessary.
• Install recycling bins brackets on the wall. This system will save floor space and create a convenient garbage/recycling station by the door.
• Hang art on the wall. Yes, we encourage clients to display their favorite pieces if they don’t have space in their homes. It’s always nicer to look at a piece that brings you joy rather than looking at a blank wall.
