The GS Home of the Year and Your Favorite Projects in 2022
It’s that time of year again! In December, we like to take some time to reflect on the amazing collaborations we’ve worked on throughout the year. Vote on the following projects that best represent the heart and mission behind Graceful Spaces!
Organizing Ideas for a Play-Filled Playroom
A well-organized home is a gift that benefits the entire family—the smallest members included. Studies have found that kids with fewer toys are better able to focus and use their imaginations for longer periods of time than those who are overwhelmed by their options. The goal is for your kids to start learning a life skill and be able to participate in owning responsibility for their things and their space.
Helping Little Ones Let Go
Editing and donating is a daunting, often emotional, process for adults—so it’s no surprise that kids struggle with it, too. If you’ve found yourself loading up donations under the cover of darkness, hiding the “donate” bin or fabricating elaborate stories when an item that’s left your home is suddenly missed (“visiting family, I think!”), we hear you! And we’re here to help. These strategies have served our clients—and our own kids—well in the past and we hope they’ll ease the process for your family, too.

If your people are in your pantry day in and day out, asking for food, moving things around, and eating their way through your supplies, a designated snack station may be just what you need to reinstate order and reign in the chaos.

The Closet Diaries
Here’s a secret—when it comes to closets, having a lot of square-footage may make your job easier, but you don’t need a massive walk-in with an island to make your space feel special. We equally love a perfectly curated, jewelbox closet where everything has a home and selecting your clothes each morning feels like a joy.
