Say goodbye to wire shelves and hello to flow!

We upgraded this closet using @thecontainerstore Elfa — no more wire shelving, just beautiful, functional magic. With attic access taking up one side, we added hanging space that works around it perfectly! No guest work needed. Every drawer and rod mapped out clearly before a single item was placed!

If this maximized space inspo has your dreaming of your own closet glow up, let us wave our magic wand.

This pantry got the glow-up it deserved and it only took one quick edit session and a follow-up product install with just one organizer! Truly magic!

She wanted pretty, he needed easy-to-see options… and now they both get exactly what they wanted 🙌🏼

What if a high-traffic area in your home, like the pantry, also had beautiful heirlooms on display??

Or your closet had some personality woven in?

We believe that no matter how small the space, there are ways to honor your past. Curious how?? Let’s explore the items that are being stored away and see how we can incorporate them today.

Oh hey germ season…is that you??

Before the those sick vibes make their grand entrance, take a quick inventory of your medicine cabinet! Ditch the expired stuff and restock the essentials. This Lazy Susan might get a little dizzy this year, but she sure makes it easy to seek + find in those moments of need. 🙃💊

We’ve rounded up our go-to organizing faves and linked them all for you in our @shop.ltk

Mornings made easy in a kid-sized closet!

From clearly labeled bins (that are no longer overflowing) to clear shoe organizers and easy-to-reach hangers (bonus: they’re matching 😍), getting the kids out the door on time just got a whole lot smoother!

If your mornings could use a little more calm, an editing session just might be your solution! Let’s chat and make your mornings stress-free! ☕

When your pantry has a system, everyone wins 🎉

No more scavenger hunts for snacks, just clear bins, easy finds + peace of mind. Not to mention, look how fabulous it looks with solid systems in place!

If yours feels like chaos, let’s chat!

It's National Taco Day and you can't have tacos without a festive cocktail! 🍹

We love any excuse to dust off our label maker, mix in clear bins and organize each and every space in your home…with the entertaining closet being no exception.

Even the most organized homes have spaces that need a little extra love. We are just one click away from giving yourself that gift!

And just like that…it’s time for a @indybuilders Home-A-Rama takedown. (Anyone else have this soundtrack on repeat)??

What a blast being a part of the @custom__living and @madebymckenzie + @jodipierrotdesign #mckenziepierrothomes beauties!

Until next year…. ✌🏼

PSA: Time to pull out the Halloween PJs 👻 🎃

If yours are MIA (somewhere between summer sandals + last year’s holiday sweaters), we’ve got you!

📱 Book an edit session with us + make space for spooky season!

Fall is calling... and so is your seasonal wardrobe swap. 🍂

Whether your sweaters are tucked away or your closet’s working overtime year-round, here are a few tips to ease into the new season:

1️⃣ Shift → Rotate your wardrobe with intention
2️⃣ Edit → Clear what no longer serves you
3️⃣ Donate → Drop your gently worn pieces at @thetoggeryresale (we’ll even help set you up with a consignment account!)
4️⃣ Access → What you wear most should be easiest to reach

Feeling overwhelmed? Deep breath. We’re here to help you make the shift seamless. Currently booking seasonal refresh sessions!

@indybuilders Home-A-Rama is in full swing with weekend #2 kicking off today! We were honored to partner with @custom__living, @inspiredclosetsindy, @thedutchgirlshop and @parksidelinen to bring this beautiful primary closet to life!

Styling a space for a show like this is always a chance to partner with fabulous friends (like liners @exactmats and accessories from @kjschendel’s collection), test out new products (@sortjoy) and get a little creative in the space as we flex our organizing skills. 💪🏼

The show features seven luxury builds in Chatham Hills, all with their own personality and style. Come visit Thursday through Sunday, this weekend and next, from 12-8pm!!

Some projects are about so much more than organizing. 💛

After reading Swedish Death Cleaning, this client wanted to thoughtfully sort through family mementos—lightening the load for loved ones while celebrating what matters most. Together, we organized the most precious pieces into keepsake boxes, creating a beautiful way to hold onto memories for generations to come.

Every project tells a story, and we’re honored to play a small supporting role in preserving the chapters that matter most.

Homework, but make it dreamy. 💭 ☀️

How could you not dream, doodle, or debate your way through homework here?

Having little pops of “Organized Moments” in the @madebymckenzie @jodipierrotdesign was an absolute delight! This home is over the top stunning and calling attention to the beautiful cabinetry in the pantry and laundry, and the garage closet was an honor. And we got to partner with @parksidelinen to have luxe details in each space (I mean, look at that pickleball basket)!

Folks, we have one more weekend to tour the @indybuilders Home-A-Rama homes. Add it to the weekend bucket list!

#homesbymckenzie

We’ve got one more weekend of @indybuilders Home-A-Rama, so why not take a pause to soak up this snacky pantry we created for @ggcustomhomes and @hilarigoris’ back kitchen. 🍬 🍭 🍫

👗135 outfits.

That’s how many the average American already owns—yet we still spend $1,445 a year on clothing and shoes. 😳

We’re not here to judge—we’re here to edit. Because mindless shopping leads to jammed closets and still… “nothing to wear.”

Let’s flip the script and shop smart, not more:

✨ Try a capsule wardrobe: Curate pieces you LOVE that mix + match effortlessly.

✨ Rent for the trend: Test styles before you commit—services like Nuuly and Rent the Runway let you do just that.

✨ Donate with impact: Give your pre-loved pieces a second life. Our Donation Guide (linked in our bio) is full of local spots that would be thrilled to receive them.

Want help creating a closet that reflects your style AND your values?

✨ Book a Luxe Edit with Maria + @styleriotindy
✨ Or schedule a 1:1 Edit Session with our team—we’ll help you love what you own, and own what you love.

🧸 $24 BILLION.

That’s how much families spend annually on toys. Parents drop about $240/year, and grandparents? $500.
Meanwhile, 20–30% of toys are never even played with. 😳

Let that sink in.

We’re not anti-toy, but when every toy has a place and a purpose, the overwhelm drops and playtime becomes intentional.

Here are a few ways to keep it simple and joyful:

✨ Try toy rotation: Store 2/3rds of your child’s toys in bins and rotate them every few weeks (or months). It keeps things fresh and encourages deeper play.

✨ Involve your kids: Before birthdays or holidays, let them help choose toys to “bless another child.” And don’t be above bribing your kiddos to say “no gifts” in their invite. There are lots of different ways to incentivize this.

✨ Donate intentionally: Not sure where to take those gently used toys? We’ve got you covered with The Baer Minimalist Donation Guide—a go-to list of local organizations that welcome your donations with open arms.

✨ With the holidays just around the corner, consider chatting with your broader family about specific things that would enrich your child’s play. Consider group gifts (we are upgrading bikes this year) and experience gifts!

Mahjong has taken Zionsville by storm, so we knew it was only a matter of time before we got to organize a Mahj storage space in a lucky client’s home. This custom Elfa system was originally created to store craft supplies, but with a little magic we carved out a whole section for 🀄️ storage.

The tiles, the racks, the mats….its all so darn pretty! Curious to try your hand at this ancient game, come visit @meetatmahj for their classes and open play. Now open in the village!

Spooky season is upon us! If you've got a space that just keeps haunting you, you're in the right place!

Let's clear the skeletons in your closet in the best way by booking a FREE consult with us today!

Week six of the school year is underway and if your house is anything like ours the electronics (and the precious papers) have taken over every inch of counter space! 😂

We love how this luxe leather bin with a clutch organizer tucked inside keeps everything hidden and fully charged, while allowing the beauty of our client’s countertops to shine.

Curious what our favorite organizing tools are? We've linked them all for your over on @ltk

Keep swiping to see how we maxed out every inch in this space!

No matter the size, we're up for the challenge of making your space work for you and not against you!

These shoe organizers are a total game changer if you find yourself like several of us with a slight shoe addiction!

Tricky wire shelves have met their match with this combo and baskets and bins!

We've made it easy for you and linked all of our favorites over on @ltk

So tell us, what's your dream pantry look like?

It's snack-thirty!

Here's your reminder to get your pantry in order now that school is back in session you'll thank yourself for knowing how well stocked your snacks are for after school hunger or to keep lunches stocked!

We've linked up all of our pantry favorites over on @shop.ltk

This space is giving us a case of the Monday blues in all of the best ways 😍

The kids are back in school… now it’s time to refresh the spaces that have been driving you just a little crazy all summer.

This closet went from mess to yes! —and we can’t stop staring 😍

If you’ve been dreaming of a tidy space that actually works for your life, we’re here to help.

📩 Send us a message or head to link in bio to book your own refresh!

We just can't get over this space! These bins not only provide function and organization but also add a pop of color and texture to this adorable playroom. And the best part? Some of the labels include pictures to help even the littlest ones put things back where they belong.

Ready to transform your space? Check out our favorites linked in our @ltk and if you need some help with the heavy lifting and where exactly to begin? We're always happy to step in, books are still open and there's a blank space waiting for your name!

Let’s take a peek behind those cabinets! 👀

This space went from catch-all chaos to beautifully organized bliss (because, hey, we’ve all got a space or three like that 😉).

Here’s your friendly reminder: Owning less is waaay easier than organizing more! It all starts with a little edit and a lot of love. If cutting the clutter and minimizing is on your Fall to-do list, we’re here to make it happen—cheering you on every step of the way!

📅 Ready to turn your messy spaces into magic? Reach out to us today!

The power of a refresh! 💪🏼

Question: Once great systems are in place, things totally stay organized, right?!

Answer: Sometimes! Certain spaces require more daily maintenance than others (think pantries, mudrooms, bedroom closets), which is why we offer refresh sessions to clients! A quarterly reset allows us to come in and optimize, edit, refresh labels, and get your home feeling as good as it did on Day One.

If your home is begging for a refresh, we’d love to help!

Closet dreams unlocked!

We gave our client’s drawers the LUXE EDIT treatment, and now every belt, legging, and layer has a perfectly organized home. 😍 Color-coordinated, streamlined, and oh-so-satisfying!

Luxe Edit Collab with @the_styleriot

Another LUXE Edit makeover we can’t get over—shoe edition!

@thecontainerstore recently revamped their drop-front shoe boxes and we are going gaga for them! If you want to protect your shoes, but also want to SEE your collection, these are beyond perfect for your space.

With a magnetic closure, they are so easy to use! And they come in two sizes, making them perfect for both men's and women's shoes.

Who’s ready to step up their closet game? Come have some fun with us and @the_styleriot!

When the @showhouseindy wrapped, I found that I was itching to do a project in our home. I had been collecting some really meaningful pieces of art and also felt excited to lighten up the paint color in our family room.

In true “If you Give a Mouse a Cookie” fashion, painting led to adding in wainscoting, which led to hiring @indyartinstallers to professionally hang this fun collection (because you can’t just throw a nail in wainscoting).

Add some battery operated sconces from @pookylightsus and I’d say, we’ve just refreshed my new favorite room in the house!!
