Professional Organizing Portfolio
In Black & White
This small home office benefits from plenty of storage options and a crisp black and white palette.
Playtime Fun
Children cannot play with toys if they cannot find them. By sorting out like-with-like toys and containing them in clear boxes, nothing gets lost at the bottom of a toy box. And this great shelving unit allows larger toys to sit out on display so the little ones can quickly find their favourite playthings.

Welcome Home
Your main entranceway can be one of the most challenging areas to keep tidy but it is the first thing that visitors (and you!) see when entering your home. Here we came up with some solutions to make sure that everything coming in the door has a convenient home.

Boys' Night In
This basement had become a dumping ground for unwanted items. A thorough clearing out of unwanted items, the re-arrangement of furniture and a fresh coat of paint has turned this once unused basement from a storage room to a games room.

Storage Made Simple
Storage rooms do not have to be unsightly. With careful purging, sorting and organizing (and some surplus blinds) we were able to make this small storage room more efficient and appealing.
Budget: $0

Family-Friendly Room
This family room was overflowing with toys, crafts and DVDs with no place to really call home. We sorted and said good-bye to rarely-used toys and found a home for the remaining items behind the closed doors of the emptied out built-ins. Now the fireplace is the focal point of the room, not the clutter.
Budget: $85 in supplies

A Playful Basement
Despite their little bodies, children and their things can take up a lot of room! We purged the unused and outgrown toys, games and puzzles that were in this basement and created a more welcoming space for relaxing and playing board games. We utilized the space under the stairs to tuck the children's treasured toys and in-season sports equipment into two separate areas — his and hers — and then labelled the clear boxes so items can be easily accessed.
In using the niche under the stairs for storage, the homeowners can opt to conceal the toy shelves with a curtain or decorative screen.
Budget: $45 for containers
