An awkward space can provide plenty of opportunities for storage. Using products from The Container Store like the Elfa Overdoor Rack, white storage bins with handles, Expand-a-shelf risers for cans, and other intentionally selected storage containers, we were able to maximize the space in this small pantry. Every kitchen organization project we do includes purging of unwanted/expired items, removal of items for donation/recycling/selling, space planning, product sourcing and purchasing, and then organizing each space for maximum functionality. Working with a professional organizer for your home organization projects reduces stress and allows you to focus on what you do best while ensuring your goals for your spaces are met!

My client's mother had a love for all things 60's, 70's & 80's. Her home was overflowing with original pieces in every corner, on every wall and in every nook and cranny. It was a crazy mish mosh of pieces and styles. When my clients decided to sell their parent's beloved home the task of making the craziness look welcoming seemed overwhelming but I knew that it was not only do-able but also had the potential to look absolutely amazing. We did a massive, and when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE, decluttering including an estate sale, many donation runs and haulers. Then it was time to use the special pieces I had reserved, along with modern new ones, some repairs and fresh paint here and there to revive this special gem in Willow Glen, CA for a new home owner to love.

This transitional white kitchen blends classic and modern elements for a warm, functional space. Soapstone countertops and a Heath tile backsplash provide durability and subtle texture, while black hardware and a farmhouse sink add visual contrast. Shaker-style cabinets, open shelving with woven baskets, and wood floors create a layered, inviting look. Stainless steel appliances complete the space, making it both stylish and family-friendly.

After their Niwot, Colorado, home was inundated with floodwater and mud in the historic 2013 flood, the owners brought their “glass is half full” zest for life to the process of restarting their lives in a modest budget-conscious home. It wouldn’t have been possible without the goodwill of neighbors, friends, strangers, donated services, and their own grit and full engagement in the building process. Water-shed Revival is a 2000 square foot home designed for social engagement, inside-outside living, the joy of cooking, and soaking in the sun and mountain views. The lofty space under the shed roof speaks of farm structures, but with a twist of the modern vis-à-vis clerestory windows and glass walls. Concrete floors act as a passive solar heat sink for a constant sense of thermal comfort, not to mention a relief for muddy pet paw cleanups. Cost-effective structure and material choices, such as corrugated metal and HardiePanel siding, point this home and this couple toward a renewed future.

Simple organizing tools like cup hooks and bottle racks dramatically increase storage capability. When you work with Room Redefined for your kitchen organization, every project includes sorting your items, purging/selling/recycling/donating of unwanted items for you, space planning to determine where and how to store your items for best function and flow, product sourcing and purchasing, and installation and labeling. The majority of our clients like working with us so much that they sign on for maintenance plans. We already know their spaces intimately, so it is easy for us to come in 1x/month for a spruce-up as their family needs change over time. Working with a professional organizer for your home organization projects ensures a stress free solution to your home needs.

We have completed quite a few stair replacements in the past but this one was definitely one of the most dramatic. The existing stairs had Oak treads and the stringers, risers, capping, and landing were all faced with black and brown granite. The rails were all very heavy gauge wrought iron. We demolished all of the granite (what a mess) and donated the rails to someone who could utilize them. We flushed up the existing treads and laminated them with the same Hickory we were using for the flooring throughout the house. Instead of a traditional bullnose edge on the treads we decided to go with a square edge with a trim piece underneath to give it a slightly more modern look. We went with a box newel with a recessed panel, painted to match the balusters. We laminated the risers and stringers with a veneer to be painted as well. The handrails are solid Hickory made to order. The end result was a beautiful stairway and a very dramatic transformation!

The existing home was deconstructed and salvageable material was reclaimed and donated for reuse. In its place, a custom 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home was built. The new home incorporates many unique features including the “drive through” two-car garage that allows the homeowners access to the converging streets. The massive first-floor master bedroom suite encompasses a marble surround fireplace, 2 sizeable walk-in-closets as well as his and her luxurious master bathrooms. Two home offices provide the homeowners with ample room to take care of business. An elevator was installed to enable the homeowners and elderly guests to easily and safely access the second floor. Abundant storage areas throughout the home, including the cavernous full basement, offer plenty of space to stow extra belongings.
