November marks the 15th anniversary of working as a Professional Organizer which is quite an accomplishment considering I’m only 38 years old. While this seems like MORE than a reason to celebrate, November marks my 10th year in business in Silicon Valley, the birth of Kuzak’s Closet has blog and as a company. <confetti explosion> It’s hard to believe that Chris and I hopped in the car with Harper, a few bags of ...

Golf Bug
I caught the golf bug last May and it's become my favorite hobby, and pretty much the only thing I'll take a day off of work to do. I love how it allows me to unplug, enjoy being outside, and spend time with friends and in many cases strangers that become new friends. When I started my business, I spent many of the early years alone. Now, it's the complete opposite. My days are filled with conversations with my staff, with ... Keep Reading >>
Estate Highlights From Q1
Yikes! To say that 2019 is off to a busy start is an understatement. The first quarter was packed with estate projects and estate consultations.

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.

Our goals were to spruce up the exterior laundry ... Keep Reading >>
Our Home: Exterior Curb Appeal
The transformation is officially complete on our Los Altos fixer upper! We spent all of our free time from January through September last year updating the exterior with the help of wonderful vendors like Sierra Lumber, ELS Home Builders, Atlas Pavers, and the Kuzak's Closet crew. The house received a full face lift with new windows and doors, a bright new paint color, a paver porch and driveway, a new Trex deck, turf yard, ... Keep Reading >>
Estate Highlights from Q4
As is typical in the fourth quarter, the Kuzak's Closet team focus shifted heavily to residential organizing services due to the back-to-school and holiday demand. While our organizing schedule was packed, the estate calendar was also packed with everything from estate liquidations, complex private liquidations, and an estate sales. My tag line on Instagram at the end of each estate project is "another empty estate" and for these ... Keep Reading >>
Estate Highlights from Q3
The third quarter of 2018 did not disappoint with our estate organizing calendar packing in 30 projects. The summer heat didn't slow us down and with the current political and economic market local families and real estate agents wanted a broom swept and empty estate ASAP. We kicked off July with a fun "Summertime Splash" estate sale in Atherton and it was a hit! The estate was filled with beautiful home decor, an amazing ... Keep Reading >>
