No BEFORE & AFTER for this garage session... Just "organized chaos" and determination after years and years of accumulation!

Very proud of my clients for making this happen 💪🏻

This is your reminder that it doesn't have to be "perfect", it just has to be BETTER.

Sooo proud of my client today! The garage was bothering her for a loooong time, but it's amazing what we accomplished in 4 hours.

We talked about what phase 2 of the project could look like, but for now she has eliminated TONS of clutter and knows what she has and where it is!

Do you have an overwhelming space and need some support/accountability to finally face it?

Real people.
Real homes.

I love being able to support people and help them get control over their overwhelming clutter. I've worked with people for 10 years, all in different situations and with different things going on in their lives, hence the accumulation of "stuff".

It's paralyzing. I get it.
But imagine what the two of us can accomplish in just one day? 💪🏻

A simple refresh makes a big difference!

One item at a time, my client put in the work to try things on and make hundreds of decisions. 💪🏻

Do I like it? The colour/fabric?
Is it my style in this chapter of my life and moving forward?
Does it fit, or can it with realistic wiggle room if I gained/lost a few lbs?
Do I have other items like it?

While he put in the brain work, I kept busy folding and putting the "keepers" on matching hangers, which he had plenty of, unused in other closets. What a difference it makes simplifying the visual clutter and using all the same hangers!? (It's the little joys for me 😜). We also filled 4 large bags of items no longer wanted which I hauled away for donation!

We talked about what belonged with what to ensure it made the most sense, because our space should be functional for us (aesthetically pleasing is a bonus!)

Do you have a closet, pantry or cupboard that could use a little attention? Need some motivation or an extra set of hands to get the job done? I'd love to help!

June 30th, 2016, I officially registered my business!! (Room to Breathe)

Throughout the decade, I worked with so many incredible clients in various spaces. Whether it was a mom of young kids way too overwhelmed, a 70+ person downsizing, or a busy business owner looking for a little boost, everyone is truly on their own path with their "clutter", and I am so grateful to have been part of the journey with you all.

We've laughed.
We've cried.
We've let go of thousands of items that were holding us back from the life we want to look forward to, while honouring and respecting the past.

The business has had a couple name changes for necessary reasons, but the passion I have for being able to support people through the overwhelming piles of clutter has never changed.

Having a baby, the pandemic, and full time hours at the library has caused some pauses from decluttering, but I've always found my way back to doing what I love.

10 years has taught me so much. I've improved strategies, efficiency, and feel that I better adapt to the individual and their needs. Of course I'm always learning and improving, but I am proud with how far I've come.

A big BIG part of what I love is supporting this community. Through fundraisers like used clothes swaps and book sales, I (along with some other really rad people) have been able to donate to and connect with some great non-profits, which really fills my cup.

💗

So I guess I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has trusted me in their space to help guide them through an overwhelming closet, pantry, garage, or basement.

Thank you to those who have donated to and/or attended a fundraiser.

Thank you to those who have told a friend of family member about my services.

Thank you for 10 years.
I am so grateful.
..ok ya but can I just pull a Snoop Dogg for one sec? Because I think he was on to something...
"I wanna thank me. I wanna thank me for believing in me. I wanna thank for for doing all this hard work. I wanna thank me for trying to do more right than wrong. I wanna thank me for just being me at all times."

(This post was in fact written by yours truly. Not a robot)

Full week.
Full heart.
(Full truck)

Grateful for all of the opportunities to support people this week doing what I love. And early mornings with Roy Boy. 😎

And yes, I think we have a winner... Tomato sauce expired 7 years ago 🎉

To say I'm proud, in awe, and admire this woman is an understatement. With so many balls in the air, she was committed to gaining this space back and designating it for fitness and strength building. 💪🏻🔥

We also tackled other areas of her basement, trying to get a better flow for the space and for the family. While rocking to 90s jams. Obviously.

Are you ready to gain control of a room (or house?!).
Please reach out - let's chat.

I think about this often.
Death is inevitable.

What am I doing to show my child that stuff is just stuff, but it's the people and moments that make life amazing?

Don't get me wrong, I'm also a sentimentalist and have lots of "special" items either tucked away, or better yet, used in every day life! But I'm trying my best to have boundaries with items and not put value in shopping as a hobby, needless upgrades, more more more.

But from what I've experienced with some clients, clearing out a house or apartment of a loved one after they have passed is an overwhelming, and sometimes burdensome task. It's draining emotionally, physically, and mentally.
I strongly encourage people to tackle their home and remove the clutter, so when your time comes, your family can focus on what matters.

Sending all my love and support to anyone who has dealt with difficult situations like this after saying goodbye to a loved one.

💗
..an excellent book I'd recommend here is The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, by Margareta Magnusson.
