This is a home office for a construction company with 6 employees. This company also runs 11 Rental units & a home party business. This project took 4 people 3 long days. It also included 4 large bags of shredded garbage. Please see the 12 pictures below. After we were done with the physical office, we spent about a month going thru their books reconciling, correcting & inputing/reinputing 2 years worth of business transactions. The business files on their computer looked much like the physical office looked! (Note: There is no such thing as a “Misc. Expense” catagory to the IRS!)
The second desk was virtually unusable as a desk - it was just used to pile more paper on.
This is a great example of wasted verticle space: cluttered & not used to it’s full potential.
Do you have a catch-all horizontal surface in your office or home that catches everything as it comes in the house?
Get paper off of your horizontal surfaces & onto your vertical surfaces. Set up an INBOX right beside a waste basket & go thru your mail everyday immediatly throwing away all junk mail.
Use shelves & baskets to organize small inventory parts & boxes. Label, label, label!
Group pictures. awards & plaques together to create a more uniform, cleaner appearance.
The second desk is now usable with a place for the paperwork to be placed each day instead of just piled on the top of the desk. Even a place on top of the desk for a few personal pics with room for more if needed.
Organize your office supplies into one place. Again: label, label, label!!

ReAnn- That is some amazing work. Looks great and much more professional. A clean workspace like this is certainly much more conducive to productivity!
