Quick Tip

If your kids receive board games for Christmas gifts, this is a great tip for after the holidays. Laminate the rules with clear Con-Tact paper. They don't get torn and are easier to keep track of.

Clutter Tip

Is your kitchen overrun with take-out menus or delivery coupons? Here's a tip: Glue or tape a letter-sized manila envelope to the inside cover of your phone book. You always know where to find them and it clears off you counter or refrigerator.

Livingroom Makeover

Before

This is how the living room looked when we started, to the left of the fire place is a TV and the walkway to the kitchen.

This is the walkway from the front door through the living room and into the kitchen.

After we cleaned and rearranged thing in her living room to make it more appealing and accessible.

This is the corner by the front door, these shelves were in walkway before.

This is the walk way between the front door and the kitchen, now it's a clear route.

Quick Tip

Attached a magnetic strip to the inside of the medecine cabinet to hold nail clippers, tweezers, metal nail files, and other small bathroom objects. It's and easy way to organize all of your tools in one place, and it keeps those sharp objects out of children's reach.

What to keep and where to keep it

These items should be kept in a safe deposit box:

Marriage, birth and death certificates
Divorce, separation and adoption papers
Citizenship & naturalization papers
Passports
Stock & bond certificates; trust agreements
Will

Other possible safe deposit contents
Contracts - Keep for seven years
IRA records - keep for three years after the account is closed
Mortgage & loan papers - keep for three years after being paid
Vehicle title - keep while you own the vehicle

In a home filing cabinet:
Employment records
Home and property inventory
Home sale & improvement records
Children's educational records
Insurance papers
Medical records
Owners manuals and guarantees
Tax Records

Check with your attorney or accountants for other records you may need to keep.

I hope this is helpful. Sheree`

My Booth at Whaing Days

I wanted to give everyone an update, I have been taking part in a few local events, the first being Whaling Days In Silverdale. I also participated in the Kitsap County Fair from Aug 20-25 this was a great event for me, I have met a lot of people from the community. The next event I will be a part of is the Peninsula Home and Remodel Expo Oct. 10-12. If you are attending this event please stop by and visit with me. I apologize that I have not been posting regularly, I will be posting more often now. Thanks for visiting my website. I will be posting Organizing tips soon.

What a Difference!

This is a great piece of furniture it has 16 places for boxes or baskets to go. However my client did not have the extra money to purchase the boxes, so we improvised. We recycled 16 boxes that had been used for shipping, and covered them with adhesive paper. They turned out so much better than we expected. We also went through all of the linens that she had stored here. She decided to donate extra sheets and blankets to a local women's shelter.
The final product is beautiful.


Before we started

Color Coding

This client was a board member for a local organization. She was given the files by a previous board member. The black file box contained current files and the box held older files. To get ready for the upcoming year she wanted to file the paperwork from the last year in the older box. She also wanted to update the current black box so she could file items and locate them easily. I used a supply of brightly colored file folders. She was thrilled with the results. The files were grouped into clear categories that made filing paperwork simple.

Color Coding is a great way to break up the files so you can find what you need quickly.

“I love it when Sheree` comes over; I get so much done.”

Sheree’ helped me in each room of my house. We started in the kitchen and dining area and when we were finished I had more cabinet space than I thought possible. I realized I was holding on to so much from my past. I love it when Sheree` comes over; I get so much done. She also helped me in the family room, laundry room, a few closets and my sewing area. I have plans for her help in the future with the garage. Melissa M.

What a Discovery!

This client is a Discovery Toys consultant she was storing all of her products in the back of this storage area outside of her house. Each time she sold a product from her stock she would have to go pull everything out of the storage area to get to it and then put it all back. She hired me for 3 hours to help her rearrange the items in this area. We were able to rearrange her Discovery Toys products so they were available to her at a moments notice and we created storage space for her personal items as well.

Do You Have 2 Hours?

Another client sells a line of clothing and contacted me when she had become overwhelmed with the storage of the clothing stock she kept on hand. The items she had carried had become a jumbled mess and finding items she needed when she needed them was becoming more and more challenging. She had purchased storage boxes on her own and had them partially filled however I suggested that we organize them by size and label the boxes. This would help her to find the items she needed quickly and efficiently. She was amazed we could use the storage boxes she had already purchased and streamline her storage.

This is a closet in the same client’s home. We cleaned out and rearranged the closet.

We were able to clean the living room up and complete the closet project in two hours. Normally, I would complete an area before I take the “after” picture; although in this case the client was very limited on time.

We made room for the current clothing line on the clothing rod and stacked the boxes according to size. For this client I was able to address her concerns and give her direction and solutions so that she could make many of the changes on her own. The services that I offer are very flexible. I can be fully involved from start to finish or I can offer suggestions and let the client make the changes.

Supply Storage Makeover

I can organize any area in your home or office. This is a office supply shelf in a doctor's office they were always running out of supplies, because they did not know what they had or didn't have until it was too late.
BEFORE

AFTER
In addition to organizing their supplies but I created an inventory list of office and medical supplies they used so they could always have them in stock and know if they needed to order anything.

Medical Supplies BEFORE

Medical Supplies AFTER

This is a storage closet in the doctors office, I don't have a before picture but it was a mess. I re purposed storage containers that they already had around the office, and made sure everything was labeled so everyone knew where items go.


Sheree` worked in our medical office to help us get our patient files and supplies more organized. She is very efficient and has a lot of new ideas to make things work better for us. She works great with everyone in the office. Char

Irene Schultz Testimonal

After my husband passed away, my once organized basement turned in to a huge mountain of stuff. Our kids would come over and borrow things and when they brought them back they would not put them back where they belonged or if they knocked something over like a box of nails they would not pick them up. When both of my parents were put into a nursing home my basement was the new home for all of the family’s memories. At some point it became the mountain of stuff, when you open the door you would throw something in and close the door really fast so it wouldn’t fall back on you; it was scary. When I called in Sheree` she came in and tackled my overwhelming mess. She set aside anything that was memorabilia for me to go through when I was ready. She helped me determine what tools and household items I needed to keep, and the rest went in the garage sale. My husband had a lot of things that I no longer would be using like fishing poles, golf clubs, power tools and firearms so Sheree` helped me to sell this and many other things in a huge garage sale. I made over $1100.00 in the sale. Sheree` helped me with a task I would not have been able to complete myself. She made an insurmountable feat manageable. I feel like I have a fresh start to my life. Thank You Sheree` Irene Shultz

Household Overhaul

These pictures are from before I started my business when I was helping Darlene. Here is a silverware drawer after we cleaned it out and installed an organizer.

We cleaned out the pantry and put all of the similar foods together so everyone can quickly find what they need.

In the lower part of the pantry we added a storage rack to hold cookie sheets, and a plastic bin to hold potatoes and onions.

This is the scrap booking room, it's actually a large walk in closet and the wire closet system was already in place. I helped her work with the closet system and gave ideas to help maximize the space.

Under the bathroom sink we added a plastic basket to contain smaller items which made them easily accessible and organized. This also created ample room for her make-up bag which eliminated clutter from the counter.

Sheree` helped me do a complete overhaul on my house. I was not totally disorganized but I needed some help downsizing. I learned how to make things, that I already have, work better for me. Sheree` has many pictures of my house displayed in her photo album. I worked with Sheree` on these projects before she started her business. In helping me organize my home Sheree` recognized her potential and passion for organizing, and thus her business has taken off. Thank You Sheree`

Color Coded Files

This was one my first office projects I completed. I color coded the files to make them recognizable from a distance and easy to use. This picture was taken a few months after the job the job was completed, and before I began taking before/after pictures.
