rePURPOSE: What to Trash. What to Treasure

 

rePURPOSE helps you evaluate, eliminate, and integrate your possessions for a more serene home or office. It is about giving you actual and visual space to think, create, entertain. You'll learn principles for evaluating and making choices. Together we'll identify what you love and what you can lose. We'll explore fresh ideas for arranging, displaying or storing what you keep.

You need our service if

You are downsizing — have moved or are planning to move to a smaller home and want to make it all fit.
The kids have left home and you want to reclaim their space.
You are blending families and households.
You are tired of clutter.
You can't find things, don't know where to put things.
You want to live more lightly.
You are the repository of the family memorabilia and don't know what to do with it all.
You simply want to see the surface of your desk again.

rePURPOSE is more than a clutter coach; it will give you a new way to see your space.

Catherine O'Brien Book with Catherine
Catherine O'Brien thinks it's fun to sort, pack, organize and think of new ways ...to use things. She thought everyone did. Friends and family had to point out to her that what comes second nature to her — being able to "see" the best arrangement for a room, having creative solutions for repurposing items and being able to effectively cut through clutter — isn't always that easy for the rest of us.

Catherine has spent her entire career organizing people, projects and ideas, streamlining processes and eliminating waste in organizations. To her, organizing possessions is infinitely easier. In one rePURPOSE session she can set you on your way to untangle years of disorganization.

With everything in its place in her life, Catherine is able to spend her free time playing music with friends, traveling with her husband, and making the most of all the Bay Area has to offer.

Think of all the free time you'll have to enjoy when she helps you get your space in order.

Sara N says: Just reading the article about Catherine's company inspired me to clean out my closet using lots of the tricks she suggests. I was actually able to let go of many items I have not worn in years. Use her. Her ideas are wonderful.
rePurposing my closet changed my life!

Melinda J says: Catherine spent a morning with me cleaning and reorganizing my walk-in closet and it has made a world of difference. Before, I couldn't find anything to wear, my shoes and clothes were smashed together and I hated everything. Now I can find things, I actually learned that I have a lot to wear, and I feel an inner sense of peace when I walk into my closet every morning to get dressed. (No kidding!) I couldn't be happier. On to my son's bedroom next!
Fast results and a whole new perspective

Jennifer T says: Jennifer Tachera says CAtherine spent an afternoon with me in my full (literally) basement and we cleared it by at least two-thirds. Now I can see the floor! It's inspired me to continue to de-clutter and stop picking up more stuff for more projects I'll never get around to doing. Highly recommended.
She will tame your clutter!

Ron Simmons says: I recently worked with Catherine on a group project involving a community storage solution and was able to see her ability to organize clutter first hand. She clearly understands how to maximize the potential of a small space. Highly recommended.
