sPace to love® Method
Getting organized is simple but it’s not easy.
So many factors get in the way and I have seen many of my clients get stuck or not even start. With training and thousands of hours of hands-on experience I came up with the Space to Love® 5 Step Method to getting and staying organized.
Set Up, Sort, Select, Sanitize, Style™
I wanted to make sure that after a project was finished, I empowered my clients with the skills and tools they needed to continue on without me. It was important, my mission really, to come up with a process for getting organized that was simple and teachable.
Whether you want to be a professional organizer or just live like one, working with me and following these steps you will achieve your goal to getting and staying organized.
Services & Expertise
Declutter
Do I really need to throw anything out?
Everything in your space holds energy. Whether you want to believe it or not, your belongings have a positive or negative affect on you. Your possessions should be useful and/or loved.
When we go through your stuff it comes down to… Do you love it or use it, if not, you can lose it. I make it sound so simple but it can be a very emotional process. I will be there to help guide you through it.
Once we clear out all that doesn’t belong we can start the process of organizing.
Organize
How can I benefit from being organized?
Do you lose time looking for things?
Do you find yourself re-buying things you already own?
Do you find it hard to get and stay motivated when your stuff is in the way of your work?
It is a fact that if you are organized you save time, money and are less stressed.
Where do you need help getting organized?
CLOSET – After editing your closet and depending on the size/budget, we can get a few baskets and hanging shelves or redesign the entire closet for your personal needs.
KITCHEN - After purging all expired foods I'll come up with ideas using containers and baskets with labels. Plus drawer organizers and pull out drawers to make everything accessible and keeping items in site.
HOME OFFICE – I will come up with a filing system, storage and project lists that are made for you. Everyone works differently so each system is designed differently keeping your needs in mind.
CRAFT ROOM/AREA – Depending on the crafting that is being done, I will come up with a system that keeps you organized as well as the creativity flowing.
GARAGE/ATTIC/BASEMENT – Some of our stuff we just don’t use as often. I come up with storage solutions that make sense for you so you can get what you need when you need it.
STUDIO APARTMENTS – Using ergonomics to come up with a space that you love and you can easily eat, sleep and create in.
MOVING OUT/MOVING IN – Such a stressful time in our lives it is always great to have help. From packing to unpacking, possible yard sale, donations and staging, I can help make it a less painful experience.
COHABITATING – Found the person you want to share your life with but didn’t think about sharing your space? I will come up with storage and design ideas to make it a pleasant union.
COLLEGE STUDENT TO PROFESSIONAL – Let your surroundings reflect who you are becoming. A few simple design solutions can take you from classroom to boardroom.
Feng Shui
Why not let your space work for you?
Everything in your space can help you or hold you back. Feng shui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing our human existence with our surrounding environment. We do this by using spatial arrangements and helping the flow of qi (energy). With the bagua map we can see what areas of your space effect the certain parts of your life. When you focus on what you want and set up your space with intention, good things start to happen to you.
Interior Decorating
How am I different from other interior decorators?
I find that interior decorating naturally correlates with everything else that I do. Through the process of decluttering and organizing, we work on a design plan that is right for you and your budget. I find most of my clients have pieces they want to keep and/or enhance. I create a space that you love because it is originally coming from a part you. I’m always on the lookout for interesting pieces while keeping my clients in mind.
“My daughter was selling her house and didn't know where to start with the staging process. The Realtor had given her suggestions but was finding it difficult to implement them. Then Christel came over and got right to work. She knew exactly what to do—everything the Realtor said and more. My daughter loved the results and is now listing her house with confidence. We don't know what we would have done without her. If you are selling your home or just looking for a new fun start call Christel!”
