Downsizing

Do any of the following apply to you?

overwhelmed about cleaning up
feeling like your home isn't big enough
planning to move
inability to focus and relax at home
having trouble finding things
dread of looking inside certain rooms/closets in your home

Throughout our lives we acquire. Some of this is from our own purchases, whether essential or nonessential. Some of this is from things given to us, whether desired or not. Living with other people adds more complexity and more things. We all have reasons for the build up of things.

We will never judge you. We only want to help!

Having things is okay, but all too often the things inside our home make us feel overwhelmed and complicate our lives. At MG Home Organizing, we understand that some belongings are very special, but we have methods for sifting out what is not.

Single Room

Is there one room that ends up holding everything that you don't use on a day-to-day basis? This could be a basement, crawl space, garage, guest room, etc. It might be that the rest of your home functions well, but you need help working through that one (or two) rooms that is your dumping ground.
