How I created a cute artwork display

Have you ever taken on a room makeover that felt like it was never going to end? I've definitely been feeling that way about our daughter's bedroom, it feels like about a year ago that we first started renovating in here. We completed our last project in here over the weekend, so I think we can finally call the room done - yahoo! Today I wanted to share with you the cute little artwork display that we created, as a way to spruce up a bare wall and the perfect spot to hang our baby girl's latest masterpieces!

Pantry organisation makeover

Pantry organisation makeover

If you to had to name your top 3 priorities for an organised pantry, what would they be? Mine would be that everything was easy to find, easy to access, and neat and organised. An organised pantry is a necessity in my kitchen, I just don't function properly if things are cluttered and messy in there! Can anyone relate? Pantry makeovers are definitely one of my favourite spaces to take on. Here's how we organised our holiday house pantry to achieve these 3 goals.

The power of a furniture swap

The power of a furniture swap

Have you ever done a furniture swap in your house and found that it brought a whole new feeling to a room? Or gave you added benefits like extra storage, more floor space or could just be put to better use in a new room? We did a furniture swap a few months ago with 2 chest of drawers and it really brought new life to both rooms. In my video on our organised kids' wardrobes, I mentioned that we were going to swap our chest of drawers with our daughter's, in preparation for her room makeover. We did just that a few weeks later, which I revealed in our bedroom makeover, but going into full detail on the power of a furniture swap today!

Client Space: A work place makeover

Client Space: A work place makeover

As a professional organiser, helping individuals get organised in their homes and teaching them how to declutter is definitely the part of my job that I love the most. When a client recently contacted me for help with organising their work-place, I was super excited to be able to help a group of people with these things. Working in a messy, disorganised environment has had proven negative affects on work productivity. I believe that having a clean and clutter-free work space is just as important as having an organised home to keep you focused and using your time more effectively.

Client Space: Home office and spare room makeover

Client Space: Home office and spare room makeover

A few months ago, a client contacted me for help in organising her spare room/home office. Home offices are the spaces I help clients with the most, and for good reason. Lack of systems for organising paperwork, not enough storage, and holding on to too much 'stuff' are 3 problems I'm sure many people could relate to. 

My client was feeling extremely overwhelmed about where to start, how to configure the room so that she could have people stay over, and how to declutter everything that was squeezed into this room. Decluttering can be a very emotional and tiring experience, but it is something I love to help people with because the end result is always so freeing and rewarding.
