This home office, which uses a variety of mismatched tables for desk space, has zero storage or organization.
Mike Normandeau isn't the only one who uses the home office. His wife, Annie, uses it for her home business as a graphic designer, and their two small children house disorganized piles of photos, office and art supplies, toys and stacks of CDs there.

Three tables, which have zero storage, are used as inadequate desks. A small hutch in the corner works overtime as the only real storage in the room.

Professional organizer Vicki Norris says the couple has a bad case of surface abuse, but she has a plan to create some boundaries for a kid-free office that functions effortlessly and lets Annie get back to business.
