Table Time

Last weekend one of my wonderful clients and I worked on an area that is front and center in her home - her kitchen table. Because it is such a prominent piece of furniture, it has become a catch-all for many items en route to their "homes".  When we started, this is what the table looked like:


We immediately got to work tackling the contents of the table. There were lots of questions asked along the way:

  • What would you ideally like to use this space for? 
  • Do you really need to keep this item or that? 
  • Is there a better place for this item? 
  • What can we re-purpose or recycle?
My client thoughtfully replied to each question and together we were able to create a much more streamlined space for her office essentials as well as room for what she someday hopes to do...eat dinner with her husband at their kitchen table!
