Yesterday, Ashley from Neat Method paid a visit to my house. If you aren’t familiar with Neat Method you need to be. They are professional organizers with offices in Chicago and San Fransisco. They can unpack all of your wedding presents and find places for everything (done and done), they can move you into your new house or simply organize a closet (like they did or us). She came to organize Spencer’s closet that was in desperate need of assistance. The best birthday present he never asked for (yes, I keep saying it).

Honestly, it looks incredible. I just had to share some before and after pictures.

I am in awe. Organization changes everything.

You know how there are rooms that might be easier for you to put together than others? Bedrooms were always that room for me… until I tried to do my own.

I finished it pretty quickly upon moving into our apartment. Probably the first room that really felt done. But within a year I didn’t like it. Too boring. Too old. Just not me. So I changed it up. Super girly. Too girly. Then again. Serious decorating ADD. 

Here’s the problem, all along what I’ve wanted to do is wallpaper it in something I love and have white bedding. But its hard to rationalize wallpaper in a place that you don’t know how long you’re going to be there for. Hence, the obsessive redecorating.

I thought I would show you each of the 3 stages, its such a perfect example of how pillows and art can completely transform a space.

Stage 1

Stage 2

Stage 3

Which stage was your favorite?

Everything is feeling very beige to me. So we’ll see if my roomie approves of making some changes. Will of course, keep you updated.
