Finding Your Path to Organization: A Professional Organizer's Journey
From walking red carpets with celebrities to organizing homes, my journey to becoming a professional organizer wasn't exactly traditional. As founder of Open at Home, I've learned that organization isn't about perfection – it's about finding the right system for you. My own path taught me this: while coordinating A-list events in Hollywood, I discovered my true passion wasn't in the glamour, but in creating order from chaos. Sometimes the smallest change (like removing container lids!) can spark a transformation. Being open to change, to letting go, to new possibilities – that's where real organization begins.

Holiday Decoration Storage Guide: Tips for Year-Round Organization
Professional home organizer Shara Koplowitz of OPEN At Home shared her expert holiday storage advice in a recent Rent.com article featuring storage specialists. Her innovative approach focuses on using existing holiday items as protective materials: "Using stockings or Christmas tree skirts to cushion the bottom of the bin and layering with cardboard cut to fit the size of the bin adds extra security, ensuring the ornaments are stored safely." She also recommends individually wrapping glass ornaments in bubble wrap or tissue paper for maximum protection. This method stands out for its practical use of household items to create a three-layer protection system: soft cushioning at the base, precise cardboard layers to prevent crushing, and individual wrapping for scratch prevention.
