ORGANIZE your ROOM and CLOSET

AN ARRANGED ROOM and a "BLIND" CLOSET

(Kristie's quest to be able "to feel" her closet)

  THE SNOWBALL EFFECT:

You all have experienced this and understand the sensation. You start clearing out the pantry and find things that must actually be in the garage. So then you begin clearing out the garage only to find that some things need truly to be in the attic.

  Commonly we start on all three ... and then, never finish.

  That's where I come in. Just because products are in the "laundry" room, doesn't mean it belongs there or needs to stay there!

  In this case, the owner started by desiring a simple change for her daughter's room ... a closet make-over. However we had an unique factor to consider--her child is blind so extra ideas and attention had to be taken so as to make useful vs. disruptive changes. We wanted to take extra care to ensure that all modifications made her life much easier--not harder.

  JOB # 1: Closet

The homeowner wanted me to focus on the closet because while it was big, it couldn't hold that much due to the way in which it was configured. It likewise didn't allow for the property owner's blind child with the capability to gain access to and discover her items quickly. Therefore, the objective was to make changes that were not excessively drastic to guarantee that Kristie would easily have the ability to discover all her items the following day.

  To this end, it made good sense to have a long rod installed from the left to the right to make the most of the entire length of the closet. The closet was separated into three areas: long hanging items, pants then short hanging products. (If you look carefully at the video accompanying this short article, you will see that the closet was literally divided by little white dividers which attached to the rod offering the daughter the added sense of touch to find her products more easily.)

  When we started, the initial strategy was just to arrange the closet but the owner and child were so pleased with the outcome that the preliminary task snowballed into Job # 2.

  JOB # 2: Checking-out Nook.

This girl is an enthusiastic reader and truly required a place to call her own--a great cozy place where she might sit and relax and get lost in stories being transmitted to her by her fingers. The bonus: This room had a beautiful area found under the pitch of the roof with a good sized window and was sitting vacant. It plainly had the possibility to be a wonderful and comfy area for anyone that selected to use it. We converted that area into a reading nook.

  One of my objectives as an indoor architect and expert organizer is to find those little treasures already existing in a house that have gone neglected or unnoticed—or in this case sitting in a garage waiting to be carried away ... for the past several years. We brought this piece of sitting furniture back into the home as it was ideal for exactly the feel we required and afterwards just had to acquire the open bookshelves from IKEA to finish the appearance of the nook.

  We selected open bookshelves for the child's extensive Braille book library. This selection permitted the bright light still to penetrate in order to improve this beautiful, cozy space. This minimized the threat of closing off the area and keeping it will lit for the other family members so that they could take pleasure in the space too.

  And one successful snowball led to yet another ...

  JOB # 3: Young Lady's Bedroom.

The last snowball was Kristie’s bed room, book racks and research area. After we moved all the Braille books from her bed room into the comfy reading nook, we were all set to arrange the racks and desk which ultimately offered her much better ease in accessing items and lots more space on her desk for work.

  AFTER

The end outcome is a perfectly arranged, spacious closet; a cozy and comfy reading nook, and; a beautiful and bright room offering ease for this blind daughter to access her things.

  STEPS to Organize a Closet for the Blind.

  STEP 1: Arrange the Closet to the needs of the Blind.

In this case, it all concerned sound judgment. Group products together; long hanging products, pants then short hanging items, so they can be obtained quickly and put back easily.

  STEP 2: Design a system that can work forever.

The rod needed to be at "grab-level" for the woman. They required to be big enough to hold the clothing, but not heavy so they would fall on the young female when she took them of the rack.

  STEP 3: Having a location they can call their own.

Having a designated place for reading, an area Kristie can call her own was handy to making sure she had calm and “down” time. Creating an area like this for kids, makes for happy children.

  STEP 4: Work with a Specialist Home Organizer / Interior Designer.

They act as a house coach asking all the right lifestyle questions so that your end result ends up giving you what you need. In addition, customers love being able to see drawings to make sure that money spent on a service provider yields precisely what they want.

  An organizer is a specialist that can aid the house owner in many methods. In this case, the Closet had a full make-over for under $50. The financial investment for the checking-out nook was 2 book racks for under $100.

How to Organize Your Pantry

Is Your Pantry Stocked?

(I need to to to COSTCO but what does my pantry need?)

  Julia could not view any of the stuff in her kitchen area pantry without battling the mess. She had to slide down the length of the wall sideways just to get in far enough to reach something in the back by standing on one leg and reaching out with one arm while holding on to a shelf with the other. She required to arrange it in a sensible style ... she required to declutter ... and inevitably, she required an indoor designer/architect to make a brand-new shelving device so that she might view just what she had and likewise, exactly what she required.

  Added to the chaos were the pantry items with no spot on the racks to call home. They simply ended up the floor of the pantry making entrance into this pantry difficult and definitely not a pleasurable encounter. She wished, required definitely, an organized pantry.

  Instead of struggling to repair the size of the pantry, we made use of the width of the pantry to repair the calamity area. A style was determined and then drawn to scale using the width of the pantry, thus permitting ample area to stroll in, walk around and actually have an organized and effortlessly useful expansion of the kitchen area with sufficient area for required products like aprons and mops.

  The customer liked having the opportunity to view illustrations to make certain that the cash they were paying out would be invested on a professional who would have an exact visual of specifically just what they wished.

  BEFORE: Wire shelves along the long wall surface just gave a confined, slim aisle leaving no space to move! This area was SO slim, you could only enter it laterally because there was hardly 2 feet in between the cable shelves and the wall surface. One could not move let alone see the products there! What the home professional thought when they decided to place shelves along that long wall we'll never know.

  The pantry was such a catastrophe while the remainder of the cooking area was created so magnificently! That was what was the most mystifying. Why did the pantry not match the elegance and performance of the kitchen area?

  AFTER: The homeowner now has a pantry they can make use of easily. The perk? Now they can just glimpse in and view just what they should buy prior to going out the door to visit Costco-- they can now view where every little thing is.

  ORGANIZING TIPS for the PANTRY.

  TIP # 1: CREATE VISIBILITY and GROUP ITEMS.

Beginning with a fresh start in your pantry provides you with the possibility to experience all your boxes of food and various other things ... or even examine the expiration date and throw some things out! Putting “like” products with each other like: morning meal products, treats, canisters of grains, noodles and so on for a much better introduction in your pantry.

  TIP # 2: UNPACK ITEMS with LARGER WRAPPINGS.

Unpacking paper towels from large product packaging assists you to keep your products simpler and overflow can be place in less accessible locations. And when you have a large box of treats, eliminate the front of the box for very easy access.

  TIP # 3: SPLURGE.

One of my preferred suggestions for all customers-- spend lavishly on little containers. Containers are a handy and affordable means to make a massive aesthetic change in your kitchen area pantry.

  TIP # 4: REUSABLE LABELS.

The Container Store offers these really valuable recyclable tags in ordinary white or with lovely design style with eraser pens so that you can compose the substances or the termination day right on your container. You can erase and transform the tag any time you wish to alter exactly what is in the container.

  TIP # 5: PLEASE the EYE, PLEASE the BRAIN.

Having order in your pantry, suggests peace of mind. Having just the same dimensions organized with each other and the very same container is aesthetically satisfying to the eye. And does not make it seem hectic.

  TIP # 6: HIRE a PROFESSIONAL HOME ORGANIZER / INTERIOR DESIGNER.

Developers (or Architects) view you home exactly as it is ... and envision exactly how your home could end up being. They behave as a home trainer asking all the best “way of living” inquiries so that your job finishes up providing you just what you require. An organizer is a professional that could help the home proprietor in several ways.
