It's in the Storage Closet so I can't get to it...

Okay, so we've all tucked something away for the long haul and cringed when we actually needed it.  How many times have you been so excited to pack for a vacation but waited for somebody to dig the suitcases out of the attic, garage, storage closet?  How about that punch bowl you would love to use but by the time you find it...?  Honestly, it happens to all of us at one point or another. My client, owner of the fantastic closet below was ready to break this routine, so she gave us a call.  She has this great closet but as you can see it was difficult, if not impossible, to  get to anything. Those are Christmas decorations tucked way back there...perfect for the rest of the year but absolute misery for the client when she was getting ready to decorate. By the time she dug those out, nobody was feeling super festive. We set to work emptying everything out of the closet and my awesome client decided what she really wanted to keep and what could be donated.  It's important to be ruthless with these choices because these items are taking up a lot of great space.  My client focused on how she wanted that closet to function. She wanted a path the whole length of the closet and she kept that path in her mind as she decided what was important to her and what could go.  I think she did a fantastic job! I know, if it's in a storage closet, what's the big deal?  Let's discuss that the next time you need that suitcase! ; )
