My biggest challenge right now is my coat closet. It is not only used for coats, but it also houses my vacuum, my broom, my mop, my ironing board, my iron, my carpet cleaner, my old paperwork and receipts, my drying rack, my toolbox and my grocery cart. And due to the age of my apartment, all the doors have at least half an inch of paint on them, so I cannot use any over-the-door hooks, because they are too small to fit.
Please help.

We live in a 1600 sq ft loft with no hidden storage, and everything in our combination art/music/storage room ends up blending together and piling up. Help organizing everything into three separate areas, and then creating efficient storage within in each of these areas would be a dream come true. It's a many-tiered project we've been working on for years, but have yet to come close to conquering.

I lived very comfortably in a 600 sq. foot apartment by myself. I just moved my fiance in, and we are bursting at the seams, even with the very modest amount of stuff that he brought. I had to move out of a closet for him, and every area-- the pantry, the bathroom cabinet, bookshelves, carving out a work space for him-- needs optimized organization. A life change like this is stressful enough without the space constraints!

I need some guidance in figuring out why I can't seem to keep EVERYTHING organized at once. I'm great at organizing things, but it always results in something else being unorganized.
For example, if I organize my desk area, my bedroom closet mysteriously becomes the victim of trash-heap syndrome. But then when I get my closet back to it's original state, suddenly my sewing area is a mess (whether or not I've actually USED it).
It needs to stop! I just want every space to be organized all at once! Please help.

Our apartment has had a problem room ever since we moved in. t's our home office/extra room for my stepson. Plus, it's where we store a lot of our craft supplies, sporting goods, camping gear, and luggage. But it consistently becomes a dumping ground for things we have no place for. We've worked and worked at it... changing things around, getting rid of furniture, buying new solutions. It still frustrates me every time I go into it!

There are piles of papers and drawings everywhere. Really, my problem is that I need to constantly access a wide array of files for various projects (the official filing space is down the hall). As a result, I keep everything in evergrowing project piles until I figure out what has not been used for a while and then finally send those down the hall. I could really use some help from you (not Dr. Phil).

I could be classified as a Child of Hoarders (COH). You can learn more about it here: http://www.childrenofhoarders.com/coh7.php
Although the decor and layout of my home is lovely and the adage 'a place for everything and everything in its place' looks like it applies to my apartment when entering my home, I have inherited the terrible hoarding trait from my parents. My closets, storage areas, cabinets, drawers, and space under my bed are filled to the gills with what I know are mostly useless things that own me. I have ceased to own them.
Nevertheless, I do have many items that I just need help with organizing. Please help! I could send you before pics at any moment as evidence. It is not like I'm a hopeless case who'd revert to my habits within a week. I'd stick with the organization you'd help me with forever. Thank you!

We just moved into a place that is much bigger than our last apartment, but somehow we still ended up with a coat closet with 4 chairs, multiple backpacks, 2 bikes, shoes, and coats all jammed into it. We need help organizing it! Pick me!

We moved to San Francisco into a charming, 1100-square-foot apartment from a sprawling 2100-square-foot ranch-style home in Southern California. We still haven't got the hang of living in a smaller space (we still buy the 24-roll pack of toilet paper, for cryin' out loud). We need real-world, livable solutions we can apply to our day-to-day life so we're not tripping over our crap and each other. I was really hoping to use more hyphens in this comment.
Thanks for your consideration. I hope to hear from you if I can find my computer again.

Hi! I desperately need help with my paper crafting room! My husband made a special room in our basement for me that is actually quite lovely. Now, if my mess would be cleaned up and organized, it would be beautiful! I have several magazines for inspiration, ribbons, cardstock, etc. Please give me serious consideration. Thanks,Cindi

My husband and I have a great loft. Hardly any clutter and pretty organized, except our unfinished closet. We have a huge wardrobe in our bedroom filled with most of our clothing. Besides a small coat closet, we only have one other closet to store everyday household and personal stuff. It has weird angles and is unfinished. What's it like now? Where do I begin? Okay. 2 hampers for dirty laundry. Cameras, 100's of knitting supplies including yarn, cleaning buckets, weights, serving platters, junk and worst of all, about 20 pairs of shoes, (mostly my husbands), that are scattered in a huge pile in the middle. Our loft is very cool but our extra closet is an eyesore not to mention a dumping ground. HELP!!!!!

I could use some professional help in two areas, the kitchen and my wardrobe.
My tiny kitchen has these long, awkward cupboards and no idea how to use them efficiently.
I need wardrobe help. I have a closet and two tiny dressers stuffed full of clothing. I need some help organizing the internal working of the closet, paying attention to what method of storage keeps clothes in the best condition.
I'm ready to leave myself in your capable hands!

My bedroom needs help. We have a decent closet, a good sized dreser, and a well edited collection of clothes. But for some reason folded laundry has no place to go and it's impossible to find the right clothes.

I definately need this, I have a 9 drawer over stuffed file cabinet that I don't know what I should throw out and what I should save as far as bills, bank statements, health records, so I just save it all and keep stuffing away. Some drawers are having a hard time closing.

In my less-than-450-sq-ft studio apartment I have a large closet that would have made a clotheshorse squeal with delight. I used it to house my desk, five small bookshelves, and at least five mismatched storage boxes for files and the sort, and a black cheongsam to keep me inspired to stick to my diet. I don't know how I'm going to keep everything in order as I try to stay on top of my job and graduate school.

We live in a small 600 square foot apartment with a tiny closet and limited kitchen cabinet space. We need help reconfiguring our storage and incorporating shelving/drawers/storage devices into our homes design so that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Our apartment is one big space with wood floors so there is a lot of possibility. The bathroom is also quite open and the space could be used more efficiently with the right kind of design. Help!

My biggest storage dilemma has been moving from a house into an apartment with a roommate. With limited space, I am desperately trying to store everything in my closet. Since I currently have a small budget, it has been a true challenge to organize my closet without splurging.
Another challenge I constantly endure is trying to keep my desk and office supplies organized. Since I do not have room to fit a full sized desk in my room, I often find it challenging to organize the utensils I need on a daily basis.

With consistantly living at my work I always feel my apartment would be more enjoyable if it had a system for organization. It might help my dog become less neurotic if I wasn't running in and out of the door before I left looking for keys, scraves, hat, mittens, etc..

I really, really need a shot at this as I'm over-messed, over-project-ed, and under-funded!. My office is the bane of my existence, and I would willingly hurl myself at the feet of anyone who could help me become more functional in my workspace. Better than that, I'm a personal chef and will cook my savior a most special and spectacular meal. I am batting my eyelashes and pleading with you to please enter my comments as I cannot.
Very Best,
