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 >>
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 >>
Our Home: Master Closet
Hello friends! My apologies for the delay in sharing the latest blog post from our Los Altos home remodel with you! I've been too busy organizing client closets to find time write about my own! When it comes to living in a small space and downsizing, my organizing philosophy is to compartmentalize the home into zones and carve out a home for items related to each zone. For example, our bedroom closet is the only closet that ... Keep Reading >>
Seattle Organized Master Closets and Beauty Bar
I'm back with another beautiful post from our December organizing adventure in Seattle. As I mentioned in the craft room post from this project, my client didn't prioritize to have her closet and bathroom organized, the focus was all about organizing the shared family spaces and zones for her children. Of course I wasn't going to leave at the end of the project without giving her an amazing closet "after" so we hustled through ... Keep Reading >>
Dreamy Master Closet: A Shoe Gallery for Him, A Shoe Gallery for Her…
This dreamy master closet has to be one of my favorite projects of 2017. If you are thinking, hey, there is no way it can be more gorgeous that the designer mudroom and pantry that I shared with you last week my answer is that it is from the same house. Both were apart of a large relocation project that we organized in the fall for a family moving from one home in Menlo Park to another. We start all of our projects with an ... Keep Reading >>
How to Maintain a Freshly Organized Space
Blog readers always have one consistent question after they see our beautifully organized before and after gallery. “Does anyone actually maintain their space?" The organizing process has several phases, the last phase being maintenance. Typically when you get to the last phase of anything you start to see light at the end of the tunnel because the work is almost completed. But in the organizing world, you could say the work ...

Organized Children’s Closets: 4 Times The Inspiration!
It is always a treat to organize a space for a child and for this project we had 4 times the fun! Our clients built their dream home with lots of bells and whistles but they smartly decided to go simple when it came to the design for the children's closets. All of the closets are the same making it easy to create an organized system that won't just stick with one, but with all 4. When I had the opportunity to review the storage ... Keep Reading >>
“His” Organized Dream Closet
I'm back with "his" organized dream closet, it's just around the corner from "her" space that I shared last week. It's light and bright with a great window, lots of space for hanging clothes and drawers for everything else. In the cabinets on the right we stored all of his t-shirts, jeans, sweaters, and hoodies. I did a tri-fold for his t-shirts so he could easily spot his favorite for the day... In the main closet ... Keep Reading >>
“Her” Organized Dream Closet
This amazing walk-in closet has a special place in my heart! I mean, what's not to love? When I try to decide what my favorite feature is it's a toss up between the wall paper, the chandelier, and the simple custom cabinetry. Finding a home for everything in this space was a total treat and with the system we put in place our client will be able to keep it organized year-round! Prior to having this beautiful space our client ... Keep Reading >>
