Paper Managment

A few years back I purchased a label machine. It was by far the best purchase I made under $30 that year! I think my initial intent was to label my pantry but ended up using the label maker for all of my files for the speaker management business I run.

My files not only look great, but I can not recall losing anything in years, not that I owe that to my label maker, but you get the idea.

Are you guilty of losing bills, important documents (hmm, I wonder where my social security card is?) or are constantly digging through piles of paper to find your child's field trip permission slip that was due yesterday? If you are, call me today and I will do a complimentary 30 minute personal household paper managment session over the phone with you.

By the way, I just labeled my pantry a week ago, and it looks fabulous!

You know you need to organize when....

help me out here. Help me get this list to 10. I already have 3 listed but thought it would be fun to hear some of your organizing challenges. Start your post by saying....You know you need to organize when....and then tell me your deal!

Thanks-Camille & Michelle

Residential Large Walk-In Closet



This was a 2-organizer job that took us approximately 3 1/2 hours to complete--this was just the shoe wall. Let me just begin by telling you that this homeowner has the cleanest house in every other room except for her closet! This closet is literally the size of a small child's bedroom and is used for the family storage such as Christmas decorations, camping gear, laundry collection central for the household and much, much more! (oh, yah, and her SHOES!)

Here's what this amazing client had to say about our work: (she wants to remain anonymous!)

"I absolutely LOVE what Simply Amazing did for our closet! Once upon a time (before kids) I had an organized closet, but it had gotten totally out of control and I felt too overwhelmed to do it myself. They came in and took care of everything - they even convinced my husband to de-junk his tie collection! Now I can actually find the clothes I'm looking for and it makes getting ready so much easier. I was worried about maintaining the closet, but it has been 'simply amazing'. My husband and I joke that it actually made our marriage better - seriously! :-) I cannot say enough great things about my organizers!" - Former Closet Clutter Queen (not her
real name!)

Before and After Photos



This initial post is a residential pantry. This homeowner wanted an inexpensive quick fix to her pantry. We used baskets that she already owned (no cost there!) and simply set up her pantry to give amazing solutions to her everyday needs. This pantry functions as a storage closet, kids arts and crafts supply area, and of course food and everything one needs to cook with!
