Before & Better - Improving Function

I was putting something away in my pantry, and I realized that I have things that I rarely use more easily accessible than the things we regularly use in the space behind the door. I moved things around to make the space function better

Before & Better - Family Room Edition

The client was very pleased with the progress made during their two-hour session, as evidenced by the before-and-better photos showcasing results from one of the two areas we addressed. 

  Before & Better - Moving In and Getting Settled

Over the course of two days, I helped this client go from "moved in" to "settled." I had a lot of latitude and independence with this client because I had been working with them for two years. There are some mobility issues that made it difficult for the client to get settled in on their own.

From moved in, but not settled, to better: Dining and Desk Area Edition

The clients have since purchased an actual round dining table that fits the space. The beauty of "better" is that we can dress up a folding table and have it still function like a regular dining table.

First Aid boxes consolidated and labeled; some items rehomed; made better use of the space

Before & Better - Virtual Edition

Over the course of two virtual sessions, I coached this client as they cleared off the top and underneath of their kitchen table. The neighboring kitchen counter, lower cabinets, and drawers were also decluttered to make space for new function. The table is now ready to be exchanged for a smaller one that fits the space better.

Accomplished in just one virtual session - I coached this client as they made their child's clothing storage functional. Outgrown and disliked clothing were cleared out. Now the bins are functional and accessible to put away clean laundry.

In a condensed virtual coaching session plus two five-minute pickups, this client was able to make real, measurable progress in their living room. Dana K. White's No Mess Method produces results that are attainable and maintainable.
