It was almost time for the annual Friendsgiving holiday, and this client’s pantry was in dire need of organizing. Her family enjoys hosting an annual Thanksgiving celebration with their friends. With a total of 50 adults and children invited, everything needed to be shipshape in order to pull off an event of this magnitude.

This client’s pantry had become a source of frustration. Although the space is fairly large, it didn’t seem adequate for storing what she needed. She had made several attempts to organize it, but maintaining it proved elusive. On top of that, it had become the family’s favorite catch all space for anything that didn’t have an obvious home.

This client purchased a 3 hour organizing session at a Silent Auction fundraiser. When we spoke before the session, she called herself a packrat and readily admitted that both she and her husband are procrastinators. She said that she is usually successful at getting specific areas in order, but maintaining the order is difficult for her. She was eager to get her pantry back into order because it is stressful for her when she can’t find things.

This client and her family had recently moved into their new home. Her busy schedule of work and taking care of children hadn’t left her much free time to organize. Although her pantry was somewhat organized, she knew it needed some more work to make it more efficient and pleasing to the eye.
