This basement storage room is something most of us here in Middle Tennessee can only dream about! (Fun fact: Tennessee has a shallow layer of soil atop a limestone bedrock and the limestone is difficult to dig into so basements around here are a luxury.) We love the way these Trinity shelving units make this space fully functional and as beautiful as a basement can be!

Coco Chanel once said, "the best color in the world is the one that looks good on you." This beautifully organized makeup drawer makes it easy to pick your best colors. 🙌

We generally prefer acrylic drawer organizers for anything that may spill or leak so these are perfect since you can just wash them out!

These clean pantry bins and drawers are perfect for grouping 'like' foods together, making it easier to answer that age-old question "what's for dinner?!"

Each pantry has its own unique needs for the family it serves so getting this one set up perfectly was our goal. We've got meal prep and snacks and canned goods and breakfast and all the things ready for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and every time in between!

They say the devil is in the details, but the details are where we thrive. 😊 Organized spaces make lives simpler and creating those spaces is our passion!

Our sweet client had a closet that was totally not functional (think one wire rod around the whole room...) so installing this new Elfa Decor closet was a game changer for her - everything fits, she can see it all, and it is so pretty to boot.

Her reaction? "Oh my gosh I love it!!! Completely transformed my closet!!" and "This has been really really great. I love the ladies and the new installs. Seriously, it’s crazy!"

There's so much to love here - the wicker baskets, the clear containers, the rainbow-organized drink ware, etc. But if you'll look even closer, you'll see something a bit strange outside of the window. Yes, those are palm trees! And that's because AFS has expanded to Southwest Florida. If you're in the SWFL area and you'd like to work with us, send us a DM! 😎🌴

The organization is one thing, but the outlet in the back of the drawer? THAT takes this whole thing up a notch!

If you want a drawer that looks like it was pulled right out of the pages of a magazine, decanting your spices will do that for you. It's a big bang for a little project! It's one of our team's favorite upgrades and we've got our systems down pat to make this happen.

This in-house (well, in-barn) dog washing station is the stuff of all dog owners' dreams. 🐶❤️

As the weather gets warmer (or is it just wishful thinking??), kids are spending more time outside riding scooters, playing tennis, throwing a frisbee, drawing with sidewalk chalk, etc. Check out this Elfa sports section that holds all the things our client needs.

Spring is our absolute favorite time to organize garages and this year, don't let your messy garage stop you from enjoying time with your family! (Or cause you to want to rip your hair out every time you go out there!)

Under sink storage is not the most glamorous of spaces, but it has the ability to be one of the most useful! As with most spaces - creating clear categories is key, and also being mindful that we are typically looking top down when getting under the sink so ease of use is critical.

One of the easiest ways to transform a closet is to invest in matching hangers. These velvet versions give consistency in size and color which is key to a harmonious space!

Our all-time favorite way to organize small purses, crossbodies, and clutches is to stand them up vertically using these acrylic clutch holders. And then add a stepladder so we can reach them!! 😂

If you've got kiddos that are into crafts, this lazy Susan is a perfect way to keep their supplies contained yet easily accessible!

The zoning and rainbow organization is great, but when you add in the under-mounted lights? THAT'S a closet on a whole other level! 🤩

This poor closet was a hot mess with pretty useless shelving (as in one singular shelf) and no purpose. One of our client's goals was to have a place for crafts and gift wrap and we are so delighted with how it turned out.

We love @elfacreatingspace in both the closet and the gift wrap door rack to bring purpose and style to this craft closet. Our in-house installers do all of our installation and then our organizers make it both beautiful and functional so we are truly a one-stop-shop! 💪

As the weather gets nicer, a lot of our clients like to hit the links. Having an organized space dedicated to golf clothes is the stuff of every golfer's dreams! This doesn't necessarily need to be in the primary closet such as in this case where we used some storage downstairs which is actually near where all the golf gear is - so a win win for our client! ⛳🏌️‍♂️

Who's hungry?! These bamboo tension dividers are perfect for keeping a snack drawer in organized order!

First you edit, then you zone and get things perfectly suited for your client. Every closet is different and each of our clients is different. However, the organizing principles remain the same as do the laws of physics - editing & decluttering is always the first step! 👠

We love these open market baskets from Pottery Barn but sometimes they are a bit too open for small toys so creating a better way to compartmentalize the toys is key. It also makes it easier to play as they can take the whole bin with them and then put it back!

Scoop front bins with labels are one of our favorite ways to do this. The toys are visible without being TOO visible and the labels help little hands put things back where they go! 👏

Give us allllll the rainbow-organized pants and clear purse boxes! 😍

Unpacking clients into their new homes is literally a game changer for them because when else can you get settled in so quickly and have your closet look like this on day two?! And it's not just about how pretty it is; it is set up perfectly for this particular client AND all the boxes are gone. It's like a whirlwind for a few days and then whoosh - we are gone and everything is tidy. It's a winning combo every time!

Throwback to one of our favorite spaces after unpacking into a new build! We thrive on helping you create order and beauty in your spaces especially during the chaos that is inherent to a move.

Places like this built-in butler's pantry are perfect for showing things off in a way that is both pretty to look at and functional to use! And it's always delightful to have this kind of storage available to us when we get people settled in!

We love these Kallax bins from Ikea! They're the perfect height to use in playrooms and usually tuck really nicely under a window and we've even created entire wall systems with them so the versatility is there. Wishing there was an Ikea in Nashville but, for now at least, we order them and have them shipped here!

We love when we can create a closet that leaves our clients room to shop! We strive to set up systems that work to keep things organized, even as a closet inevitably fills up. 🛍️

This Elfa system we installed gave so much extra storage while not feeling too tight - and we planned it around what our client actually owned so it worked out pretty well if we do say so ourselves!

We've said this a thousand times, but We. Love. Decanting! 😍

We also love these gorgeous glass canisters that really elevate the look!

Often our clients ask us about the maintenance - and there is some but our best pro tip is to keep a backstock area for refills, and when the canister gets low, empty the contents into a mixing bowl then add the new stuff into the canister (give it a wash if needed first) then add the older on top. This way you don't end up with a bunch of old flour crusted on the bottom...😬

This cabinet-door-mounted pot lid holder is a genius way to store lids and keep them easily accessible. Plus the vertical dividers make the pans super accessible in the cabinet! 🥘

These Caraway cookware sets are all the rage - for good reason - and having built in storage makes them top notch in our book!

Who said slat wall garage systems were only for things like yardwork tools?! We love purposing tried-and-true systems to fit the needs of a project, and this wall ended up being perfect for our clients video & photography equipment! 📸

Our team really focuses on thinking outside of the box using our creativity and accumulated wisdom from working with so many different types of clients and projects - one of the true indicators of experience is not always assuming a space has to be what it always has been. Which is what makes our job so much fun!

We thrive on getting the details juuuuust right! Creating a space for each item in a closet makes getting ready so much easier. These wall mount necklace holders mean no more digging through a drawer or bag frantically trying to untangle before you leave the house! It's a great way to use otherwise blank wall space plus they are super easy to install.

These clear drop front shoe boxes are the perfect way to utilize that otherwise useless top shelf in the closet! I mean, we love the fact that the closet has those upper shelves but they aren't for the stuff you need every day - think seasonal and dressy that you can go look for when you need it.

A whole shelf dedicated to wooden turntables for condiments? Yes please! We also love these clear scoop front bins for easily accessible staples that fit perfectly on these shelves. Everyone's pantry is just different enough that it's not just picking cookie cutter products but making sure what is chosen actually works for the space and the family that lives there!

These plastic scoop front bins are some of our all-time favorite products to use. They are sturdy and functional and perfect for keeping like things together. We love them in playrooms like this, especially when they're labeled to state exactly what belongs inside!

#LTKSpringSale

Dreaming of the perfect late spring day when our client can open the garage door and enjoy his well-organized casita! This flex space is perfect for relaxing and hanging out enjoying the weather and it was so much fun to organize a slightly different space that our usual pantry and closet! Though it was kind of shivery out when we did it...🥶❄️

These rattan baskets *almost* look built-in. 😍

Y'all know we love a pretty pantry and it doesn't get much prettier than this! And part of what makes it pretty is corralling the contents so they aren't all strewn about on the shelves - sometimes we'll get some clients who are resistant to bins and baskets then wonder why their pantries are sustainable. Pro tip: bins and baskets that contain 'like' categories mean that it's clear what goes where and how much you've got of each thing, so it's a win-win for looks and function!

When organizing pantries, our main goal is to utilize the space as best we can to maximize storage while being mindful about keeping it useable. We're biased, but we think our organizers hit it out of the park on this one!

This arts & craft room feels like a dream. We loved organizing these beautiful built-ins to maximize usability in this creative space! 🎨

One of the biggest challenges parents face is managing kids creativity and the chaos it brings so setting up functional systems to hold the bits and pieces at bay is critical. Clearing out the old and making the new accessible and visible makes a space that kids love - and so do the parents when it's time for clean up!
