Counters you can cook on

Family kitchen · a Coquitlam client

  • A home for mail with a simple wall sorter
  • Small appliances moved into easy-reach cupboards
  • A 10-minute nightly reset routine

This client's project took about 3 hours over 1 evening.

Counters only. The cupboards had already been sorted, so we focused on surfaces and mail.

After: the same room as a calm craft and office space with labelled storage
Before: a spare room crowded with boxes, papers and craft supplies

From storage room to hobby room

Spare bedroom · a Burnaby client

  • Moving boxes unpacked and recycled
  • Craft supplies sorted into clear, labelled bins
  • A cozy reading chair and a desk with a simple file box

This client's project took about 12 hours over two weekends.

Mostly boxes left over from a recent move. The client had already decided what to keep, and donations were picked up by a charity.

How long will my project take?

Every home is different. Timing depends on the size of the space, how much is in it, how quickly you like to make decisions and how much energy you have that day. The projects above are examples from individual clients, not a guarantee for a similar room.

After a free 15-minute video consultation or a Kick-Start Session, we'll give you an honest estimate for your home. We'll always work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
