So – I have plenty of books on organizing and I read the occasional interior design blog. Yet somehow my apartment is perpetually chaotic. It finally got to the point where I realized I needed to do something about it! Enter Elizabeth of A Clean Slate. I am still amazed at what we were able to accomplish in just three hours. She was energetic, positive, strategic and action-oriented — and now my front closet(previously packed with heaven knows what) is cleared out and ready to be a closet again; a shocking number of boxes of clothing, books, dishes, and knick-knacks have been spirited away to be donated to charity; and my impossibly disorganized kitchen is now set up in a way that makes total sense(I am still dazzled by the simple and totally intuitive solution she came up with). And seriously — three hours? Amazing.
