Orcas Island Washington Unworkable work space turned into a functional, calm work place.
Shared space, private space Two 13 year old sports fans share one small room...happily.
Small space, big potential in Marin County, CA Less is more if you use the space wisely.
Big mess; bigger office space.
These are the before and afters of the basement storage room from a flight school at Sacramento Executive Airport. The school recently changed ownership and the new owners were left with a big mess...but with big potential.
Unneeded items tossed away to make room for the necessary ones...all nicely stowed behind a hanging curtain making a calm, peaceful and productive office space. We painted the walls and stained the concrete and rolled with the industrial feel for the space.
This space was overwhelming and useless to the new owners. They called NorCal Neat Freaks for a complete transformation. They received a modern, functional and peaceful space to work in...and soon to relax in. We will soon be adding a sofa, fridge and a TV so they can use it as a little get away during their many long days.
An airplane hangar turned man-cave...a.k.a. a Man-Gar!. We just finished up one of our more fun projects ever!. We turned a messy airplane hangar into a functional and super chill Man-Gar (that's a man cave hangar...we just made made that word up). Here are the pics.

Have ski's and need to store them? Why not turn them into a desk or a coffee table!
We used the snow ski's from his Cessna 185 as table tops. Now they're not just taking up space but providing a cool desk and coffee table for the Man-Gar.

We found an old military Irvin parachute in Palo Alto and flew over to pick it up (from Sacramento). The cost of the parachute ($80) was paid for from the sale of some unwanted items laying around in the hangar. The cost of the fuel for the flight? ..about $150 round trip!

Items on shelves don't need to be seen, just need to be accessible.
This homeowner was interested in organizing her garage items onto the existing shelves. That was the easy part! She was happy to toss, sell or donate things she didn't need or want but she still didn't like seeing the remaining items on the shelves.
Solution? Hang drapes that cover the shelves yet give her easy access to all of the items on them! Drapes or curtains are lightweight and easily moveable and they soften the look of shelving giving it a more polished and calmer look and feel.

Shaping up the Shipping Department.
What happens when the VP of a Northern CA tech company realizes that his disorganized shipping department might be costing him customers? He fixes the problem immediately! Now anyone in the company can see the status of an order when a customer calls in for an update.
This was a quick one-day organization project that gave this company the basic order they needed to function effectively without spending days revamping the entire shipping/receiving bay. Next up...revamping the entire shipping/receiving bay.
