From Chaotic Storage to Peaceful Retreat
















I've seen many homes where the extra bedroom becomes the "catch-all" room. At first, belongings are neatly stacked along the walls; slowly the piles take over until no one knows what goes where or even what they have stored in the room. Finding an item stored in the room becomes an adventure, usually not an enjoyable one!

This owner had goals. She wanted this room to become a peaceful getaway where she could write and meditate. She was motivated. She was willing to donate many items and make room in the attic and storage shed for other items in order to get the space she dreamed of.

She has a writing space with convenient storage for her writing materials. The closet is neatly organized, so she has access to items in storage. Containers are labeled. Shelves are labeled, so she knows exactly where items belong. She has her sanctuary!
