      What a Professional Organizerโ€™s Home Really Looks Like

      Real before and after photos of my home just one week after moving. As a professional organizer, my space isnโ€™t about perfection, fancy products or expensive storage. My home is built around simple, functional items, keeping only what I need, and creating systems that make everyday life easier. When my space is set up this way, I feel less anxious, more at ease, and more like myself ๐Ÿ™‚

        From Cluttered to Clear: How to Estimate Your Organizing Time

        Estimate the organizing time for your next project. Before & After photos of closet organization, kitchen organization, dining organization, office organization and garage organization projects.


        Nicole here.

        One of my favorite activities is to shop at the local farmers markets! I find I spend less, eat healthier, cook more, and feel good about supporting locals vs. corporations. Win, win right?

        When I’m not thinking about food… I’m all about organizing!

        Perhaps one of the most intriguing parts of my job is seeing a space and evaluating how long it will take to FINISH a project.

        Every estimate and quote is based on:

        • the size of your space
        • amount of possessions you own
        • type of items
        • time it takes you to make decisions when decluttering
        • organization approach: konmari vs. the home edit

        What are the most popular projects?

        • Clothing (Closet)
        • Paper (Office)
        • Komono (Kitchen)
        • Komono (Garage)

        Ready to see some examples from clients? I gotchu.

        Clothing Project

        Total time: 10 hours

        • the size of your space: master bedroom closet
        • amount of possessions: cannot walk on floor, pile about 2 feet high off floor, hangers and shelves barely used
        • type of items: clothing, shoes, travel, linens
        • time to make decisions: quick (not attached)
        • organization approach: traditional (organizing by space)

        For this particular project, I helped the client do a custom closet installation through The Container Store. Fun Fact: I get trade discounts from 20% – 40% off at The Container Store.

        Office Project

        Total time: 5 hours

        • the size of your space: single room
        • amount of possessions: multiple piles, many small items, floors and surfaces mostly covered, shelves filled
        • type of items: electronics, paper, leisure gear, office supplies, sentimental items
        • time to make decisions: quick (not attached)
        • organization approach: traditional (organizing by space)

        Quote from the clients partner after organizing, “I’ve never seen this office this clean!!” Happy partner = happy life!

        Living & Dining Project

        Total time: 10 hours

        • the size of your space: kitchen, dining
        • amount of possessions: piles on every surface/floor, cabinets mostly empty
        • type of items: cleaning, food, eating items, cooking items, bags, appliances, leisure gear
        • time to make decisions: quick (not attached)
        • organization approach: traditional (organizing by space)

        After we finished organizing and decluttering, we spent time to make this home feel like a home. We brought precious artwork out from storage and finally hung it on the wall. We also purchased plants and installed a custom light fixture for extra light.

        Garage Project

        Total time: 15 hours

        • the size of your space: two car garage + cabinets
        • amount of possessions: 80% of floor with piles, 50% of cabinets full
        • type of items: home decor, tools, holiday, linens, clothing, school supplies, toys, artwork, sports equipment
        • time to make decisions: quick (not attached)
        • organization approach: traditional (organizing by space)

        That pile in the before photo is a great representation of how overwhelming it can feel to start a project! The goal for this particular client was to help prepare them for an upcoming move.

        Final Thoughts:

        I hope from these example photos give you a realistic concept of how long projects can take. Please note: every individual is beautifully unique and so is their time to finish a project!

        Instead of spending months to years to finish. I recommend scheduling intentional time. For example, setting aside time to organize 1x a week over the next month.

        If it’s been over a month since you started, feel free to snap and send a few photos to me 415-787-3865. I’m happy to give tips and advice, at no charge.

        Your clutter is my bliss.
