Have you ever done some goofball action and said to yourself what were you thinking? Short answer:…read more1) yes and 2) yes and recently. I was leaving to go out of town at 7 am with a small tote bag. I was about to put it in my trunk until I realized I had left my car keys inside the house. So, I get my keys and then get into my car parked in the drive way. I hear this weird noise, but did not think anything of it. I was semi-awake, so I didn't give it a second thought. When I got halfway to my destination, my hubs calls me and said my clothes and shoes were on the car pavement in front of the house. You guessed it, I drove right over my tote bag. Amazingly, nothing was damaged other than my shoe box. So off I went to the Container Store to buy a plastic shoe box to replace the one I ran over and blasted to smithereens.

We researched wall bed options from a number of different vendors online and through Yelp, but I'm…read moreso glad we went with Karen Stanley from More Space Place on Anderson. She was very patient as she walked us through the different options for the design, materials, finish, etc. for our wall bed. We were even able to use our existing mattress (I think it had to be under 11" tall). I'm quite petite, but the bed is weighted properly so that I can easily and smoothly pull it down or lift it up by myself. Pro tip: take measurements of every inch of your room (including where the window sills are, how far the window sills stick out from the wall, etc) and bring those measurements to Karen. She can mock up the room in her design software which really helps visualize how far the wall bed will protrude into the room and where you want to place it. Don't forget to measure how far the doors open into the room and where the edge of your ceiling fan comes to! The different finishes, materials, and designs make a BIG difference in the price so if you're looking to be more cost-conscious, let Karen know and she can show you which materials are the less expensive options vs. the more expensive. We put in a deposit of half of the full cost of the bed, the other half was due upon delivery. You put in the order with Karen and it takes them a few weeks to get the ordered materials in. Karen's staff then schedule a time to came to install the bed - it took a couple hours and I was glad I was there to finalize placement on the wall. They even cut small chunks out of our baseboards so that the bed would sit flush to the wall. Ask to keep the chunks that were removed so you can try to patch them back up if you ever move. You can also call More Space Place if you move in Austin and for a pretty reasonable fee they will come uninstall the bed and re-install it in your new home so that your movers don't break it! We've gained back the use of that room as an office and exercise room instead of being mostly taken up by a large bed! The process was easy and painless, delivery and installation went smoothly, and I didn't even have to pick up any tools.....soooooo worth the money! Thank you again Karen!

I have a new project where I recommended that my client take my drawing and have them design something similar for the laundry room as his new house has no cabinets there. They do a fabulous job here and you won't be disappointed. I use a custom cabinet company for custom millwork in the main living areas, etc.. but for closets and laundry rooms and even home offices I think they can do a great job! They did my master bedroom and den closets for me. I went with the darker wood because that's what I had throughout, but I recommend using white in closets as it doesn't show the dust as much.

First, they showed up to help me trudge through the terrible job of purging and got me super organized. The painful process was somehow made doable by Kat and her team (shout out to Emmerie!), with their firm but gentle persistence to get it all done. They really kept me on task/gave direction when I needed to sift through things which was incredibly helpful. Otherwise when I had to work or was busy with my kids they never seem to waste a minute. Moving with two toddlers was completely overwhelming, but they unpacked and got us organized in the new house in just two days. I called them back to organize the garage I'd managed to stuff full with overflow and in just a day they had it all perfectly purged, sorted and stacked. They showed up on-time and worked without stopping aside from a short lunch break (which was always fun getting to chat with them) -which was quite impressive given the slog I put them through.

Randi also made a huge effort even before our first appointment to understand exactly what I was needing, and asked me to send her some photos that were both fun and also pertaining to what I used the room we would be working on for (i.e. that showed what kinds of items I make in my sewing and craft room). I call myself a mini hoarder, especially when it comes to fabrics and crafts, and she was so patient and non-judgmental towards me. It's very reassuring as well to know that she has so many years of experience working with other adults with ADHD. She snuck in some helpful gems of how to stay organized as we were working through our 3 hours without me really realizing it, but that info sunk in. Only a day after working with her, I found myself looking at a few lamps in that and another room and thinking, "I can donate those - I can let them and tons of other things like those go, and it will make my life much easier and less stressful to let them go. We're not even using them or haven't for 6 years!" She was very inspiring and working with her made me excited to do more, not only in that room but in the rest of the house.

After moving into a new house this past summer, I had the task of furnishing and decorating it. I…read morehad read a few articles about feng shui online and had used it for my previous place of residence, but I felt that some things just weren't right. It was time for some professional help. Looking online, I contacted a few people via email, but Belinda was the only one available in my time frame. I had a free phone call with her in which we discussed my new house, who would be living there, and other details. She came up with a plan to visit my house, do a clearing ceremony, and visit my house again once I had finished making the changes. After discussing the plan with my parents, they decided that the current package was too expensive so I told Belinda and she cut down on package options. After discussing it with my parents for a while, we settled on a package with an in person visit and a phone call followup. I figured I could easily do a clearing ceremony myself: there were no previous residents so I didn't fear any bad energy lingering there. I emailed Belinda a copy of my floor plan and set an appointment for Wednesday at 11am. Belinda arrived on time and we talked about the house and my goals in life. She took a directional reading with a compass and went around the house. I took notes as we walked around. She gave suggestions based on the layout of the house. These suggestions included placement of artwork in certain areas, rugs on floors (I never used rugs before this), room color schemes, room uses, and feng shui items. Some notable suggestions I received was to move my office to the first floor because there was more energy down there, put a blue rug under my dining room table because it was next to the living room to separate it, a pink color scheme for the master bedroom, and a large tapestry in the living room. (Everyone's suggestions will differ based on their place) Belinda explained that the suggestions were based on the direction my house faced as well as other factors. She made some notes on the house layout for me to keep and suggested some places to buy furniture (like At Home and Amazon). Places that didn't break the bank were also suggested. She didn't make any radical changes to my home layout. We needed to fully furnish the place so most of the house was empty. I did my shopping at IKEA, Wayfair.com, At Home, Society 6 (for artwork, cheaper than art.com) and amazon. Got my couch at Sams club though. I framed my pictures with picture frames from IKEA. For my bed I got a piece of plywood from Home Depot and screwed it on for a solid headboard. When it came time for the phone consultation on how my new home was doing, I emailed photos of each of the rooms as well as a video walk through (I hosted them on dropbox.com). Belinda saw my photos and said I did well with the decorating, and made a few minor adjustments on certain areas. So far the results have been great. I can move through my house with ease and I feel that the energy flows nicely. My garage doesn't feel cluttered as everything is to the sides. I sleep well at night and get things done in my office as I can see the window and living room with my back against the wall. My parents (they visit a lot) like the layout and pictures. So far my career and life have been going well with some changes here and there. I'm still working on clearing the clutter from my tables (sign that I have too many things to do at once, but I'm working on that). Overall I feel that my home looks and feels great. Belinda was amazing and easy to work with. She listened to me and was willing to use different solutions to reach an objective if one wasn't available.
