Learning To Breathe Again
When a child becomes sick, normal life stops for a while. A year ago, this family had a child hospitalized who literally needed to learn to breathe again and now needs constant medical care and monitoring … all while amidst an unrelated cross-town move of homes. The past year has been filled with transitions and adjusting to a new home and new ways of life for everyone in the family. Understandably, they just could not spend energy on anything else.
But now, the family was ready to settle into their new circumstances, including creating well-functioning spaces in their new home and reclaiming a bit of peace and order. On the task list was a streamlined laundry room (a space that seemed to be the catch all for many things), a pared down linen closet (it was time to let go of once-loved bedding), a better organized medical care binder for her son (to keep all the information the parents and his nurses needed on-hand), and a closet for their daughter that made room for her to play, learn, and grow.
This mom was naturally an organized person but, with everything else on her plate, did not have the time/energy on her own to develop or execute a plan for creating these last few spaces in her home … spaces that just worked well and felt good to be in. Having someone to guide the process and setting aside dedicated time with scheduled sessions (and a good playlist) helped the projects feel less intimidating and more doable. Results happened really quickly and the upkeep was manageable for all in the family to follow with a system in place.
“Partnering with More Breathing Room was exactly the fix we needed to make our home more relaxing. The fresh set of eyes on our problem areas jumpstarted solutions that were much easier than we expected. Without judgement, Kara approaches each space with ideas and materials to quickly bridge the gaps between chaos and clarity. Now, with better systems in place, we know how to keep the mess from returning.”
Laundry Room: This centralized space was a catch-all for the second floor clutter, but also the first room the family saw when ascending the stairs.
Requirement: A streamlined look and system for re-homing many miscellaneous things and, of course, doing laundry efficiently.
