"When I work with a client, I'm going to look at their habits, I'm going to look at how they live, what they use. And then we create something personalized to them. So everybody's level of organization is different. And what works for one may not work for somebody else. So some people might like everything perfectly folded, color coordinated, looking like a magazine picture. The next client is like, "Oh my God, if it just makes it into a bin, I'm happy." So yeah, it's a lot of times, we'll look at the entire space."  -Karen Allbright
