Clean Sweep
Organization? Bring It On

Ilene and Eric have been married for eight years and have two kids, Shana and Adam. They moved into their home ten years ago and now the dining room and office are out of control. The dining room is filled with old toys, piles of clothes, and dishes that they have no place to use. The office is littered with papers and has a generally claustrophobic feel. Shelli Alexander dives into the mess, mostly Ilene's, and although she seems reluctant at first, she becomes the ""new Ilene"" under Shelli's tutelage. The clutter is reduced by far more than the goal, leaving them with a satisfied feeling. The rooms are given a dramatic makeover by Valerie Bickford. The office is redone in attractive blue and yellow colors with storage cubes, displays for Eric's collectibles, and a special space for the kids. The dining room is given functionality and elegance with photo displays, sliding cabinets for china and a new chandelier.
