Speaking of Psychology: Why clutter stresses us out, with Dn. Joseph Ferrari, PhD Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by all your stuff? If so, you're not alone. In recent years, a thriving decluttering industry has sprung up to help us deal with our ever-accumulating piles of things. Dn.

Another pantry project this week. Our client and her son worked tirelessly before we showed up to organize. They cleared out the pantry and purged like crazy!! We came in to organize, label and finalize placement. Quick and easy project.

Our sweet client and friend needed a pantry re-fresh! She has a pull out unit in the kitchen and a larger pantry on the side of the kitchen. We purged a ton of expired items and re-set her decorating/entertaining items. She wasn't interested in a lot of baskets and bins, but instead wanted like items grouped together for easy access. We accomplished her goal!

We really enjoyed working with this client! She's a personal friend and just moved from Frisco to Plano. Every project has it's challenges, but this one was different because we didn't have a chance to see her previous closet before it was packed for the new house. Being visual it can be hard to not know what's coming to mentally prepare for where it's going to go in the new space. We unpacked everything and got to puzzle piece it all together into her closet. So, no before pics because the closet was empty. We love a challenge and think it turned out beautifully!

Great article about de-cluttering and possibly a different approach than many people consider.
