I was leaving to go out of town at 7 am with a small tote bag. I was about to put it in my trunk until I realized I had left my car keys inside the house. So, I get my keys and then get into my car parked in the drive way. I hear this weird noise, but did not think anything of it. I was semi-awake, so I didn't give it a second thought. When I got halfway to my destination, my hubs calls me and said my clothes and shoes were on the car pavement in front of the house. You guessed it, I drove right over my tote bag. Amazingly, nothing was damaged other than my shoe box. So off I went to the Container Store to buy a plastic shoe box to replace the one I ran over and blasted to smithereens.

I have a new project where I recommended that my client take my drawing and have them design something similar for the laundry room as his new house has no cabinets there. They do a fabulous job here and you won't be disappointed. I use a custom cabinet company for custom millwork in the main living areas, etc.. but for closets and laundry rooms and even home offices I think they can do a great job! They did my master bedroom and den closets for me. I went with the darker wood because that's what I had throughout, but I recommend using white in closets as it doesn't show the dust as much.

I had been considering a Murphy bed for my second bedroom. I wished to free up some space in that…read moreroom as the day bed was rarely used, if you don't count literal cat naps by my two cats. More Space Place advertised Murphy and cabinet beds. The showroom was pretty with examples of how organized your life could be with their cabinets, bookcases, closet organization systems, and Murphy beds. When I asked about a floor model of a cabinet bed, I was sent to Furniture in the Raw (nearby) to view them as there were none in the MSP showroom. I didn't like having to lie to FITR about my visit -- it felt deceitful and I didn't appreciate being put in that position -- but the trip helped me decide. I selected a cabinet bed but didn't purchase immediately as I needed to "rehome" my day bed. I began receiving emails from the sales rep every other day asking me to sign a contract so the order could be placed. I had not expected such aggressive sales tactics and found them annoying. After about 6 weeks, I did go back, sign the contract, and paid in full for the bed. The sales rep agreed to have it delivered in four weeks after I returned from a trip (and before my expected house guests arrived in March). Yay! The trip was postponed (thanks, Covid), but the bed could not be delivered early as it was not yet available. The bed is manufactured in Malasia and the sales rep had no information about shipping. I contacted her again in two weeks, still nothing. At this point, she tried to direct my correspondence/calls to the "delivery team" (whom I had never met). My impression was she was tired of dealing with me and didn't want to be bothered with any follow-up questions. Another two weeks passed; no idea of where the cabinet bed was or when it would be delivered. Now my guest was arriving and I had to hustle to borrow a blow-up mattress! So, the bed was purchased in January and by mid-March there was still no idea of where it was or when it might be delivered. The last time I contacted the sales rep, she blamed the delay on "supply chain issues" and suggested any cancellation would result in more expense as the price had increased. I took that as a veiled threat to discourage me from cancelling, but I was also irked as I knew "supply chain issues" had not prevented her from communicating the status of my order during the previous 10 weeks. Prior to the sale, I received an onslaught of unsolicited emails; after the sale, supply chain issues halt communication? I call BS. I returned to Furniture in the Raw. Lo and behold, they had the exact cabinet bed in their warehouse and it could be delivered in three days. Double checked with MSP. Nope, would be after May 1 before the bed I bought might be available. Long story short: I canceled the MSP order and bought the bed from Furniture in the Raw. Yelp reviews suggest most people had better experiences than I did, but believe me, Five Star treatment is not guaranteed.

Kat and team helped me with a major downsize move recently, and I truly don't know what I would've…read moredone without them. First, they showed up to help me trudge through the terrible job of purging and got me super organized. The painful process was somehow made doable by Kat and her team (shout out to Emmerie!), with their firm but gentle persistence to get it all done. They really kept me on task/gave direction when I needed to sift through things which was incredibly helpful. Otherwise when I had to work or was busy with my kids they never seem to waste a minute. Moving with two toddlers was completely overwhelming, but they unpacked and got us organized in the new house in just two days. I called them back to organize the garage I'd managed to stuff full with overflow and in just a day they had it all perfectly purged, sorted and stacked. They showed up on-time and worked without stopping aside from a short lunch break (which was always fun getting to chat with them) -which was quite impressive given the slog I put them through. They are delightful and super enjoyable and easy to work with, I cannot recommend this crew highly enough!!

She even wanted to meet my 8 guinea pigs, hee-hee - it was so awesome that she is also an animal lover, and has a big heart for animals (kiss-kiss for Julie from Auntie Jackie!). Randi also made a huge effort even before our first appointment to understand exactly what I was needing, and asked me to send her some photos that were both fun and also pertaining to what I used the room we would be working on for (i.e. that showed what kinds of items I make in my sewing and craft room). I call myself a mini hoarder, especially when it comes to fabrics and crafts, and she was so patient and non-judgmental towards me. It's very reassuring as well to know that she has so many years of experience working with other adults with ADHD. She snuck in some helpful gems of how to stay organized as we were working through our 3 hours without me really realizing it, but that info sunk in. Only a day after working with her, I found myself looking at a few lamps in that and another room and thinking, "I can donate those - I can let them and tons of other things like those go, and it will make my life much easier and less stressful to let them go. We're not even using them or haven't for 6 years!" She was very inspiring and working with her made me excited to do more, not only in that room but in the rest of the house.

After moving into a new house this past summer, I had the task of furnishing and decorating it. I…read morehad read a few articles about feng shui online and had used it for my previous place of residence, but I felt that some things just weren't right. It was time for some professional help. Looking online, I contacted a few people via email, but Belinda was the only one available in my time frame. I had a free phone call with her in which we discussed my new house, who would be living there, and other details. She came up with a plan to visit my house, do a clearing ceremony, and visit my house again once I had finished making the changes. After discussing the plan with my parents, they decided that the current package was too expensive so I told Belinda and she cut down on package options. After discussing it with my parents for a while, we settled on a package with an in person visit and a phone call followup. I figured I could easily do a clearing ceremony myself: there were no previous residents so I didn't fear any bad energy lingering there. I emailed Belinda a copy of my floor plan and set an appointment for Wednesday at 11am. Belinda arrived on time and we talked about the house and my goals in life. She took a directional reading with a compass and went around the house. I took notes as we walked around. She gave suggestions based on the layout of the house. These suggestions included placement of artwork in certain areas, rugs on floors (I never used rugs before this), room color schemes, room uses, and feng shui items. Some notable suggestions I received was to move my office to the first floor because there was more energy down there, put a blue rug under my dining room table because it was next to the living room to separate it, a pink color scheme for the master bedroom, and a large tapestry in the living room. (Everyone's suggestions will differ based on their place) Belinda explained that the suggestions were based on the direction my house faced as well as other factors. She made some notes on the house layout for me to keep and suggested some places to buy furniture (like At Home and Amazon). Places that didn't break the bank were also suggested. She didn't make any radical changes to my home layout. We needed to fully furnish the place so most of the house was empty. I did my shopping at IKEA, Wayfair.com, At Home, Society 6 (for artwork, cheaper than art.com) and amazon. Got my couch at Sams club though. I framed my pictures with picture frames from IKEA. For my bed I got a piece of plywood from Home Depot and screwed it on for a solid headboard. When it came time for the phone consultation on how my new home was doing, I emailed photos of each of the rooms as well as a video walk through (I hosted them on dropbox.com). Belinda saw my photos and said I did well with the decorating, and made a few minor adjustments on certain areas. So far the results have been great. I can move through my house with ease and I feel that the energy flows nicely. My garage doesn't feel cluttered as everything is to the sides. I sleep well at night and get things done in my office as I can see the window and living room with my back against the wall. My parents (they visit a lot) like the layout and pictures. So far my career and life have been going well with some changes here and there. I'm still working on clearing the clutter from my tables (sign that I have too many things to do at once, but I'm working on that). Overall I feel that my home looks and feels great. Belinda was amazing and easy to work with. She listened to me and was willing to use different solutions to reach an objective if one wasn't available.
