Mission: Organization : Episode MSO-806 -- More Projects »
The McGill family--Patty, Mike and children Patrick, Michael, Marguerite and baby John--are plagued by a cluttered, nonfunctional home office. Mile-high piles of homework, crafts and collectibles have made a hostile takeover of the 14 x 11-foot space.

Expert organizer Teri Lynn Mabbitt is called upon to restore order and give the McGills the home office of their dreams. See how she did it below.
