Creating a Space to Share
Mission: Organization : Episode MSO-611 -- More Projects »
Sisters Katrina and Nikki Villani, ages 14 and 11, respectively, are polar opposites who share a bedroom and closet. Katrina is neat, but Nikki is not. Measuring in at 12 feet deep by 14-1/2 feet wide, the room should be plenty big for the both of them, but it is filled to capacity with oversize furniture, toys, trophies, books and stuffed animals. Even the closet is stuffed. Take a look:

After: Organizer Jen Doman has split the room into a pink side for Katrina and a blue side for Nikki, divided by a rolling storage unit. Fold-out beds for each conserve valuable floor space (which is now showing off beautiful hardwood flooring instead of carpet).

Parents Rhonda and Troy enlist professional organizer Jen Doman to create order and carve out specific areas for each sister. The first step is to sort through everything and decide what can be kept and what should be tossed.
Once that's done Doman brings in multipurpose furniture and storage pieces to ensure that each girl has her own space. Check out the results at right and below.
With all the extra stuff gone and multipurpose furniture added, there is enough room for each of the girls to have their own desks.
Sharing a closet has not been working out, since Nikki's so messy. Doman decides to give each their own closet, placing divisions inside it them to create separate sections.
