Kris H.: I'll-wear-it-at-home
Quote: "Our session had a side effect: it helped me deal with things from the past I'd been putting off for a long time."
Category: Wardrobe reset
Duration: 2 × 3 hours
Project vibe: "The closet. The closet! Everyone to the closet!" (The Devil Wears Prada, 2006)
Kristína's wardrobe was "under pressure" and she was open to change. The ideal combination for a wardrobe reset with professional organisers.
The sorting was quick and painless… until we discovered how many special items were "for home". Kris now has one entire drawer devoted to "I'll-wear-it-at-home" things, and she's happy.
While sorting, Kris found a few pieces that raised a crucial question: Will I still wear this now that my life has changed so radically? We don't keep sentiment only in photo boxes. She sorted out (with visible sadness) her graduate collection as a fashion designer.
We came to the next session with a surprise. We turned the design piece into a picture that no longer takes up space in the wardrobe but decorates the home.
And then we could get started on organising the children's room for a little boy with special needs.
This is what she said a few days later: I'm truly happy about it. Our session had a side effect: it helped me deal with things in my life I'd been putting off for a long time.
We found out we have enough of everything, I'm not buying anything. Not a new hoodie. Not even for home. What else? I'm thrilled. Everything in the kids' room works. One more thing, please: labels. Can we sort those out online?
Question: Where does Kris put the unironed clothes towering on the armchair like a totem pole?
Answer: Into an elegant laundry basket that goes in the wardrobe, because there's a place set aside for it. There they wait quietly until Kris finds the strength to iron. The main thing is they're no longer shouting at her. Family, exercise and a calm home take priority in her mind.
