New before and after video!
It’s been a while since I posted a video but I’m back with what is already one of my favorites. It’s my first before and after video! My personal favorite videos are the ones shot on-site in clients' homes and offices. This one was filmed in Houston, TX by my client as we just triumphed over her kitchen table that had been covered in paper for years. You’ll see the before pictures in here too.
What I’ve been organizing lately - receipts, receipts, and receipts
If you ever spend your spare time wondering “Hmm, I wonder what Kacy Paide is doing right now,” hold this picture in your head. When in doubt, I’m sorting receipts. This photo isn’t to indict any particular client because her pile of receipts could belong to pretty much any of my clients.

How I took an office from good to great
What I’ve been organizing lately: a fashion designer’s office in NYC
Full disclosure, this wasn’t lately; about two years ago I was hired by a fashion designer in NYC. In going through some old before and afters, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t shared this story with my readers yet! This was a classic case of me wondering how we were going to fill the time for which she had hired me.
