The Graceful Process - CEO Method
Organizing an already cluttered space can seem overwhelming, but keeping it simple by breaking down the process and taking things one step at a time is the key to completing your project with grace (and your sanity intact). We have organized quite a few spaces in our time and through these experiences, we created our CEO method of organization.
Every project, every space - C.E.O.
This really does apply to any room, so, pick a space and Categorize, Edit, & Organize! Follow along this pantry project to see how we used our CEO method to tackle this once cluttered space …
and turn it into …
keep reading for the reveal!
categorize
Remove everything from the space and sort contents in to categories
In the pantry: (ex. canned goods, snacks, baking products small appliances, etc)
in the closet: (sweaters, jeans, out of season, tops, skirts, etc.)
EDIT
No longer love it, use it, need it? donate it!
Throw away expired and/or broken items
Set aside everything that does not belong in the space
ORGANIZE
Arrange the empty products in your space by following the basic guidelines of each space — inspiration pieces front and center, most often used within immediate reach, and then move outward
One category at a time, start placing the contents back in
Remember to think about how YOU use the space and your own categories- there can be gray area here!
LABEL
Label your BASKETS, BINS, AND DECANTERS
We love USING custom vinyl labels FOR our clients
and enjoy!
Now that the tough work is done, grab a snack and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
