Making your new property feel like home Practical tips to help create that feeling of home in your new place.

It was a busy and productive (and hot!) day for us today, working on two bedrooms.

Our client is lucky to have lots of wardrobe and cupboard space, but it needed a declutter and reorganisation.

At the end of the day we took bags and boxes of donations to the charity shop, and left three big cardboard boxes of items to sell on Vinted - doing a clear out can be good way to make some extra cash as well as some extra space!

Here are some before and after shots, with thanks for letting us share them 💙

Enjoyed a day off together with a picnic at Pitmedden Gardens - in between the rain - and managed to get completely lost on a walk!!

Hope you're all having a lovely summer 🧡

A hall cupboard sorted!

If you're short of time but would like a quick organising win, hall cupboards are usually a good place to start.
This one only took an hour to do. As they're generally not very big it shouldn't take too long to:
⭐️ Take everything out
⭐️ Let go of anything you no longer use or need
⭐️ Put anything that should be kept elsewhere away in its proper place
⭐️ Put what's left back in!

⭐️ Extra shoe racks if you have the space keep the floor clear of shoes
⭐️ Baskets or boxes are great for scarves, gloves etc.

It'll make your life easier when trying to rush out of the house in the morning, and will give you a boost when you open the door and see it looking tidy!

If you're struggling for time, or have a bigger cupboard to sort and would like to wave a magic wand and have someone to do it for you then get in touch! We're happy to help 💙

Good post on working with a professional organiser.

It was watching The Home Edit that encouraged us to turn our passion into a business!

So happy we did, it's a great feeling when we can help people to get their homes back on track 💙

7 Things To Know Before Hiring A Professional Organizer We are thrilled to announce that we can officially call Palo Alto and Greenwich home. Yes, it’s true! The Home Edit now has local organizing teams in both cities. This is a major milestone for us, because we now get to say that we’re in seven (yes, seven!) cities nationwide. If you are wondering...

This little phrase can have a big impact on clutter!

When we don't put things back in their proper place, or they don't have a designated home to begin with, clutter can easily build up and can become increasingly difficult to manage.

I first heard this phase when doing my decluttering and organising course, and I now use it all the time! It only takes a minute to put something away rather than putting it down on the kitchen counter or dining room table and saves so much time later. You will also know where to find it!

Of course, if you don't have homes for everything, you know who can help! 💙

On Saturday we had the pleasure of working with a client to reclaim her dining room.

As well as lots of kids crafts and lego to declutter and organise, she had temporarily put some boxes of sentimental items there to sort through. That is always a hard thing to tackle but she should be very proud of what she achieved.

Two large boxes of donations to charity, items of furniture to sell, and two bags of recycling later, our client has her dining room restored to its proper purpose, along with some treasured items displayed around the house or stored for easy access.

A big thank you to her for letting us share the photos and for trusting us to help her with it all. 🧡

Our client was moving from a flat to a house. We took over from arrival, giving her a head start. Happy client ready to enjoy her new abode / Sat. pm well spent. (Before pics 2nd)
