LAUNDRY tips

REMOVE items that don’t help you do laundry + become physical obstacles for the task / KEEP laundry essentials in quick reach to speed up the process / FOLD laundry standing up to make it go faster OR sit in a space with low distractions + good music! / PLACE lesser used items in this space in a less convenient spot if needed.

KITCHEN tips

REMOVE non-essential items from all countertops as much as possible for more workspace / KEEP kitchen utensils + tools close to where you use them / TUCK AWAY items you don’t need out all the time / PLACE your most used items in spots easy to see, easy to reach + easy to access in drawers/cabinets/shelve / DON’T obsess over rules, put thing where you use them.

PANTRY tips

REMOVE items that are expired or you aren’t going to eat / KEEP food in categories/zones based on how you like to eat / CORRAL groups of items in bins that are easy to grab + see in so things aren’t hidden / PLACE items that you grab the most front + center or eye level, convenient to all in the home using them / CREATE a pantry anywhere that’s helpful to you to access.

LIVING ROOM tips

REMOVE items that don’t support the vibe + energy you want in the room / CREATE zones for activities you want to do in the space like games, reading + resting / LAYER in items to support each zone + make it enjoyable to be in / KEEP a balance of permanent vs. moveable pieces to allow for flexibility/change in the room as needed.

BEDROOM tips

REMOVE items that don’t support rest throughout the space / KEEP only a few essentials on nightstands / PUT AWAY laundry + dirty clothes at night to reset the space whenever possible / AVOID furniture that reinforces bad habits like collecting clothing, too many nick nacks or dust collectors / CREATE light control options with lamps + curtains to manage light to support your daily rhythms of awake + rest.

Minimalist bathroom decor with two framed black and white artworks on the wall, a white shelf holding skincare products, a spray bottle, a container of cotton swabs, and a rectangular container of cotton balls.

BATHROOM tips

REMOVE non-essential items out on counters + keep them as clear as possible / KEEP essentials (must-haves to function each day) easy to reach if tucked away close by / AVOID packing too much in drawers + cabinets to make it easier to find what you need / STORE a realistic amount of backstock of toiletries, medicines, etc. for the space you have to avoid waste OR store elsewhere is space is limited (me!).

Client Words.

"Kristin helped guide me through every step of the declutter + organizational process. She encouraged me to start at the beginning, she helped me to overcome any obstacle and she celebrated with me at each milestone. Kristin not only provided her expertise but did so in an easy, encouraging manner that helped me to accomplish my organizational goals. Working with her was like working with the best of friends who just happens to also be a talented professional. I can’t thank her enough for the tips and tricks that have enriched my space and my life.”

Sara, Los Angeles

“The way you have set up this Masterclass has coached me to work in smaller increments, and I’ve been successful so far! I can declutter a drawer and then walk away before I try to do anything else with it. I’m a person that tends to not want to start something unless I can finish it. Having small children, that means I can basically never start anything because I’m constantly interrupted (I mean CONSTANTLY. I know you know). I can spend time thinking about how I use a particular space and count that as a success, rather than time I spent without a tangible result.”

Alison, Dallas

“I can’t wait to show you my pantry. I wish I had taken a before picture. The after is a thing of BEAUTY. And it’s smaaaallllll, but I’ve made it work. Do you know that you’re out here changing people’s lives?! It’s true! These courses are so good!! And this is only my temporary home, too. I’m making it work in this apartment for a little while longer until we get our house. And then I’ll do it again!”

Stephanie, Austin
