Cape Cod: Unpack and Downsize in Yarmouth Port, MA
Moving can be stressful for anyone, but when you are moving into a smaller home and need to downsize at the same time, things can get overwhelming. Before moving into their summer cottage for good, this client did about 60% of the work before time ran out and everything was moved. Peaceful Place was called in to help finish the job and make sure everything had a place in their ‘new’ home.
This multi-day project started with the garage. Debby and Marianne finished opening cardboard boxes and placed items in their respective places throughout the home. The current shelving was then cleared off and items were sorted into ‘like’ areas, which the client then edited. Marianne then assembled shelving units provided by the client. Everything was placed back onto the shelves in an organized manner in plastic bins [bins were labelled once entire project was complete]. After completing the garage, the mudroom and kitchen were organized by Debby and Jackie.
The next area Debby and Jackie focused on was the client’s clothes, office closet and linen closet. Using shoe cubbies and shelf dividers provided by peaceful place, they were able to transform the master closet. The client opted to use hangers they already had!
The last area of the home that needed some work was the basement. Using shelving and bins provided by the client, Debby and Marianne were able to turn this once chaotic ‘storage’ space into a beautifully organized room.
