So I used to work for Kelly Holland of KPH Studio- who I give all the credit for me figuring out my path with interiors and learning endless amounts of design know-how from her expertise. She really took me under her wing. Anyways, sometimes a designer's biggest struggle is organizing and planning her own space. It's easy to make objective decisions for a client, but making your own final decision is funny how hard it can be. I guess it makes you understand why interior designers are in such demand! Anyway, Kelly had a room in her basement filled with old Stuff. One day we decided it needed to go. She hired me to go through everything with her and make room for more storage since she wanted to make a home office.
This is some of what we pulled out of her storage room. We looked through 15 years of old pictures, kids artwork, electronics, arts and crafts kits, vases, holiday decorations, winter clothing, everything imaginable that you don't want to think about and you store away!
Instead of being overwhelmed inside the space, I pulled everything out of the room and organized it into piles. Then together we went pile at a time and re-entered only the most important things onto new shelves and recycled or donated the rest.
Kelly was very happy. She ended up having enough space to then start working on her new home office. We played around a bit, (kelly green is her favorite color) and I made up this mood board for her. She ended up designing a beautiful layout and can finally work from home in a space more conducive to her needs. She is a fantastic designer and has been for 20+ years.
