A Few Holiday Prep Tips...

Organizing for Fall & Halloween:

Decorating for Halloween can be such a joy, but it often comes with the challenge of where to store all those seasonal items.

• Tip: Label and neatly store away summer decorations and other off-season items.

• Use clear bins or well-labeled containers to make next year’s decorating even easier.

Holiday Prep: Start Small, Start Early:The holidays will be here before we know it!

• Start small: Declutter guest rooms, sort through seasonal kitchen items, or begin drafting your holiday shopping list.

• By doing just one or two tasks a week, you’ll set yourself up for a more relaxing holiday season.

Declutter for the End of the Year:

• October is a great month to focus on decluttering common living spaces like:

  • Family rooms

  • Kitchens

  • Bedrooms

• Having an organized, clutter-free home can create a more peaceful environment as we spend more time indoors during the fall and winter.

• Bonus Tip: This is the perfect time to clear out your kitchen pantry in preparation for holiday cooking and baking!

Project Spotlight: Tackling the Kitchen ChaosWe recently helped a client streamline their kitchen, making it holiday-ready!

• Reorganized cabinets and drawers to create a better flow for meal prep.
