Edmonton Decorator | Professional Organizing and Decluttering

Just call me the Disaster Master

How has 2014 been treating you so far? Who has made a resolution to get their life or home organized and decluttered?

On January 1st, I went through my house like a clutter-seeking missile to eradicate my space of any superfluous items. After my 30 minute mission, I was done with my clutter busting. But, I was HUNGRY for more.

That's why, I have decided to offer a new service to my clients: Professional Organization and Decluttering.

Below are a few pictures from a recent project to help a client declutter and organize their home. (I apologize in advance for the pics. I got so caught up, I forgot to take photos of some rooms. And the other photos were taken in extreme haste. But, you get the idea...)


LEFT - Bedroom "Before" (Sorry, it was REALLY scary) RIGHT - Bedroom After

LEFT - Linen Closet Before RIGHT - Linen Closet After

BEFORE - Laundry room

AFTER - Laundry room

(For anyone who's curious, the bedroom and closet took about 6 hours, and the laundry room took about 3.)

Want to see more like this? Here's a client that hired me to declutter, organize and style her home before she put it up for sale.

Do you need help getting organized? Drop me a line or give me a call!

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Home Stager | 6 Bedroom House Lessard

What is home staging and how will it prepare my home for a quick sale?

Every property, from sweet and petite, to large and stately can benefit from professional home staging.

In some cases, the home may need to be furnished with rental furniture. And other times, the home just needs to be styled working with the home owner's current items.

That is precisely what we did with this 4200 square foot, 6 bedroom river view property. The home was prepared for sale by decluttering, rearranging, and repurposing the existing household items.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Before & After | Ambleside in Windermere

I had the pleasure and honour to work with the homeowners on this Kimberley built home in Ambleside.

Both owners had a very strong design sense and understanding of the direction they wanted to take their home, but sought professional guidance. We worked together through my Design Coach and personal shopping services.

The kitchen was given a HUGE facelift by: the installation of extra cabinets, new appliances, new lighting, and a fiery orange accent wall.

The dining room was kept sleek and modern with furniture from Finesse and fixtures from Park Lighting.

The living room was outfitted with mid-century modern inspired pieces from Crate and Barrel. See my design inspiration for this room here.

Drama and glamour were introduced to the stairwell with the fiery orange accent wall, black Baroque full length mirror and chandelier (not seen) from Park Lighting.

The guest bath was brightened up with accents of apple green.

The bonus room, where the family gathers for movies and conversation, was kept warm with existing furniture, and that Fireball orange accent wall.

A soothing, hotel like oasis was created in the master suite. Delicate accents of chartreuse and silver.

Some close ups of vignettes we created to add that personal touch to the home.

Edmonton Interior Decorator | Home Staging | Love it or List it

"The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry."

I was hired by the owner of this 'Adult Living' bungalow, to help prepare her condo for listing. She was ready to move, and already had her eye on a new property. However, after four days of re-organizing and interior styling, she has decided to "love it", instead of listing it. I guess that's the sign of a job very well done.

This bungalow has 2 bedrooms up, and a spacious, unfinished basement below grade. This delightful home owner had recently down-sized, but still had all of her prized possession from her previous home. It was my task to re-organize, and re-style all of her belongings, without removing any from the property.
