Jeffrey Martini of Wilmington, Del., is a child counselor and motivator. It seems he needs some help motivating himself, though — his home office is a wreck. At 15 x 15 feet, the room is filled with files, luggage and mounds of clothes. Jeffrey could barely even walk in, let alone think.
Professional organizer Liz Witts answers his call for help and agrees to help him turn this room into the ultimate office space. Now, with organizational tools in place, every possession has a home. This new space is inviting and inspires productivity.
