Projects in Progress - what to expect

Welcome to my work. It ALWAYS gets worse before it gets better! I pull everything out, sort and group it, suggest what items should be 1) stored elsewhere 2) trashed/donated/sold - those decisions are the clients' not mine and 3) categorize similar items. From there, I try to use client's storage containers/solutions as long as they are working and consolidate what I can. Typically, I'll clean the storage area (I have repainted, as well as used peel-and-stick wallpaper to dress up a pantry!) and the re-stocking begins. Frequently used items are at waist-to-chest level. Rarely used items are at the margins. As much as possible, I'll label shelves, bins, and bottles to improve visibility, and when I can, I'll make it as visually appealing as possible.
