Katree's Four-Room Transformation

Katree is a Transformation Life Coach who was game to transform her living and working spaces! 

She was also a Shaklee distributor at the time she called me to help organize her Home Office,

a little room just inside the main entrance.

1.  Katree's Original Home Office

Katree's office was nice -- with a real desk, a big window, a door that closed, and everything.   And it wasn't really all that disorganized.

2.  Boxes in the Living Room

But I noticed her boxes of Shaklee supplies were overflowing into the Living Room, which flowed directly into the Dining Room.  There were established seating areas, but the lightweight furniture and boxes made the large space look cluttered and uninviting.

3.  Unused Sitting Room

I asked for a tour of the rest of the home, and discovered a whole extra room that was rarely being used!  It was in the back of the house where guests wouldn't need to pass by it to get to the living/dining area.  Large windows provided lots of natural light.  There was easy access to the kitchen, and to the backyard patio.  “Katree," I exclaimed, if I lived here this is where I'd have my home office!”  She was willing to try something new, so we got to work.

4.   Katree's New Home Office

We used the desk and file cabinet from the original office, chairs from the living room, artwork and a dresser from a guest bedroom.  Katree's new office now has lots of storage for all her supplies, a worktable, and a nice little sitting area for reading a book, or enjoying a hot cup of tea with a client or a friend.

5.  Living/Dining Rooms BEFORE REDESIGN

We not only moved Katree's office to a different room, we also redesigned/staged her Living Room and Dining Room to give them more definition and make them feel cozier.

6.  Living Room AFTER REDESIGN

We used the sofa and coffee table from the unused sitting room (now office) and “shopped” Katree's home to find artwork and accessories that reflect her personality.

8.  Katree's New Library

Later, on her own, Katree continued the transformation, converting her former office into a nice little library!

"Hazel gave me hope.  I thought I had my home office "together" with some minor inefficiencies.  I was wrong - there is so much more.  I now find joy in sitting down - working and organizing information in such an effective and now beautiful and serene space.  I even have a reading nook!  Thank you, Hazel."
