It’s an incredible honor to be welcomed into our client’s home, get to know their families, and see their lives evolve over time.
A dear client of ours, who works in oil and gas, lived in Katy, TX when we first met years ago. We organized her home in Katy and when she received news that she was being transferred to Baku, Azerbaijan, we helped her declutter and inventory some items in preparation for this move.
Two years later we recevied an email “Hey, I know this might sound crazy, but would you consider coming here to organize my life”?
ABSOLUTELY! We are THRILLED for this opportunity and couldn’t wait to support her and her family again.
Baku
Baku did not disapoint. The city is breathtakingly beautiful. Every building is stunning. The food is amazing, and the people were welcoming. The city felt safe and incredibly clean. Many people in the city spoke English, which made navigating the city much easier.
The Flame Towers light up the sky at night, and panoramic views of the Caspian Sea, the Azerbaijani Flag, and the city below were unforgettable.
The Organizing
When it came to organizing we knew we wouldn’t be able to address every area of the home on our limited time there, so we focused on the client’s priority areas. Thankfully, she already had all the bins and organizers that we used in her home previously, so we were able to make the most of what we had.
The Basement
A multifunctional space that serves as a playroom, game and crafts storage, pet area, and laundy room. The challenge here was that there were boxes that hadn’t been fully unpacked yet and many of the bins were filled with parts and pieces of miscellaneous toys. It took us two days to do the entire basement. A portion of which is shown here:
The Garage
A small one bay garage which holds the contents of a typical garage, but with about 25 suitcases and 10 pet carriers to work around!
The Study
Here we sorted and organized years worth of old electronics and cords that have moved from home to home.
The Bathrooms
One bathroom for the children and one for the adults. Both of which contained items that they stock up on when they travel back to the US.
Coat Closet
This makeshift mudroom is critical for day to day life with dogs and chidren. This area holds leashes, shoes, medicine, swim bag, jackets, umbrellas, and anything else they may need access to as they come and go from the home.
Overall, we had a wonderful time serving this family and traveling to such a beautiful place. We are looking forward to more traveling projects in the future!
