I currently live with two of my gal pals in a three bedroom/one bathroom apartment and today I'm giving you the inside scoop on how we maintain a harmonious and organized home. As professional organizers, the most obvious aspect of our job is providing our clients with beautiful, aesthetically pleasing solutions for cluttered and chaotic ... Keep Reading >>
Inside a Professional Organizer’s Home: Freezer and Pantry Edition
Has your freezer and pantry felt growing pains over the last few weeks? You are not alone! When shelter in place restrictions started in Santa Clara Country I knew I needed to regain control of these two spaces in particular so that I could manage meal planning with far fewer shopping trips. Pre-Coronavirus, we typically shopped every three days or so, stocking up mostly on fresh produce and fish. The pantry offered breakfast ... Keep Reading >>
Inside a Professional Organizer’s Home: Master Closet Edition
I've been staying busy with the never ending administrative tasks that happen behind the scenes at Kuzak's Closet - whether we are open for business or not - but I really miss the physical routine that our organizing projects bring. I will never again take for granted the sight of a full donation van or the smell of a fresh box of trash bags! In the meantime, our home has benefited from the "Kuzak" organizing touch as I've been ... Keep Reading >>
Party Garage
Most of our garage organizing projects involve sorting and finding storage solutions for categories like bikes and sport equipment, tools, holiday and seasonal items, and long term storage items, but recently we worked with a client in Atherton with some very unique priorities for their garage space. This family with two young boys loves to throw big, themed parties for their sons and their friends and classmates, so the majority ... Keep Reading >>

Hand-Processed Hoarder Estate
Organizing estates that involve hoarding is one of our specialties at Kuzak's Closet. I personally love the opportunity to hand-process an overwhelming lifetime collection for the client, dig for items on their wishlist, and uncover treasures that they may have not know were there all along. For this project, our client's mother struggled with a hoarding issue in the later years of her life. She had a love for antique ... Keep Reading >>
Our Home: Backyard Oasis
Thank you for all of your questions and kind comments on our home remodel process! Today's post is the final post detailing what we've done with our Los Altos fixer upper and I'd like to think that I've saved the best for last. When we made the decision not to add additional square feet to our home we knew we could make up for it by adding square footage to our exterior spaces. Our goals were to spruce up the exterior laundry ... Keep Reading >>
Portola Valley Relocation
Our relocation services are a favorite of mine because I love having the opportunity to unpack and organize a home efficiently from the start. When a client is moving into a new home or a major remodel is involved, we are often brought in during the planning and building phases to help with the storage design and plan. This Portola Valley project is one of those cases. I began working with this client six years ago at their ... Keep Reading >>
Palo Alto Multi-Purpose Garage Transformation
I've shared plenty of garage organizing inspiration on the blog over the years but today's project is a bit different. Different how? Well, yes, while it's a project we've helped transform from the studs to glossy cabinets and epoxy floors thanks for our partners at Valet Custom Cabinets, this before and after post is different because you'll see the reality of how our client's have grown into this multi-purpose space 9 months ...
