BEFORE & AFTER GALLERY

BEDROOM CLOSET
Before This closet was near the bedroom, but mostly used for storage because there wasn’t room to store clothes.		Before This side of the closet had very limited hanging space in a triangular small shaped corner.

After By adding 2 hanging rods on the wider side of the closet all the hanging clothes could be accommodated.

After By eliminating the hanging rod and adding shelving in this corner, all the folded clothes and accessories could be accommodated.

HOME OFFICE
Before This home office had a variety of furniture and folding tables as work spaces lacked a filing system, so papers were stored in boxes and bags.		After The dressers were grouped to store office supplies, workspace consolidated to one desk, and a filing system set up in tubs for easy access standing up.

OFFICE DESK
Before This workspace utilizes 2 desks – one as the primary workspace, and a return for storage. The main desk feels congested and cluttered.		Before The return is so filled with supplies and equipment that all active projects have to be stored on the primary work desk.

After Highest priority projects are moved to the left side, leaving the right side clear for active work.

After Excess office supplies and equipment are moved into a closet, making room for lower-priority work files.

HOUSEBOAT HOME OFFICE
Before This small houseboat needed a way to keep the home office from taking over the living areas. The equipment and supplies stored on the wall make the space look and feel cluttered and smaller.		After The workspace was consolidated into one desk instead of two, clearing the floor in front of the ladder. Two drawer units were moved next to the desk to hold supplies and files. Removing the supplies and equipment from the wall creates an open, airy feeling.

OFFICE SUPPLY CLOSET
Before This guest room closet is being used in a home office for all manner of supplies and records. The wire shelving unit faces sideways which makes it inaccessible.		After Supplies were sorted and pared down. Boxed records were moved to the garage. A sturdy, open shelving unit solves the problem of access to the remaining supplies.

UTILITY CABINET
Before This cabinet in a utility room was jammed with many different kinds of supplies. Finding things was very difficult and getting things out caused an avalanche!		After Bulky, lower use supplies like the paint cans and toolbox were moved to lower cabinets. Small supplies were sorted out by type (light bulbs, batteries, tape, etc.) and grouped into plastic baskets. Baskets were labeled to make it easy to find things quickly.

COMMERCIAL STORAGE
Before This paper supply room has lots of great shelving for paper reams but they are blocked by the extra cases of paper. Over-ordering is a problem because existing stock is inaccessible and unorganized.		Before This supply room is underutilized because the shelves are filled with old, unused supplies and the floor is cluttered, making it hard to get to the shelves.

After The side walls were cleared to make room for the cases of paper. Reams on the shelves were then sorted by paper type and color to make it easy to see when a particular supply is low.

After Stacking the chairs to one side and removing broken equipment cleared the floor so the shelves could then be cleared of old supplies. The cleared shelves can now hold the rest of the supplies that cluttered the floor.
