Here’s what I have learned about myself — I buy things because in the moment they make me happy. But then a few days later, they just get added to the clutter. I also have all these great plans to sew clothes, knit sweaters and blankets and make all sorts of wonderful handmade presents for all my friends and family. But those plans sometimes never see the light of day and I’m left with all the supplies. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I finally hit my breaking point and decided it was time to be real with myself and get realistic with my expectations. I know myself and I know that I can only get to a certain point in the process. It’s the point where I pull everything out of all the closets, drawers and other hiding spots and put everything into 3 piles — donate, keep and throw away. It’s after that that I get overwhelmed and just end up crawling into bed and pulling the covers over my head until I forget it all happened. That’s where Untangled Spaces really kicked me in the buns and got me going. Octaiviea came in and was able to take a look at the situation and created a game plan. Then Octaiviea, like a Tetris Master, was able to get the things that I needed and wanted to keep, into a space that is now functional. Before it was just a bunch of stuff that I hid in the closet and avoided like the plague. Now, I just randomly open the closet door and stare and smile at how well this space works for me! While the whole process was a bit of work, it never felt like work. Octaiviea is so much fun and full of nothing but positivity! Thanks Untangled Spaces!
