Mission Organization – TV Review

Some people enjoy watching TV shows that have million dollar homes. Not me. I drool over Mission Organization on HGTV. Sad, huh? But I love watching junky rooms transformed into gleaming organized spaces in the space of a half an hour. It gives me hope for my own house. At the beginning of each show, host Gail O’Neill tours a disorganized room in a family home. She then sends in a professional organizer to work with the family. The show has a team of organizers and a few guest organizers. I’ve seen shows on garages, kitchens, bedrooms, playrooms, family rooms, … Continue reading →

How To: Learning to Do it Yourself

It is very rewarding and it’s also a great way to save a lot of money.

Then, they return the new and improved version to the home where they found it, ring the doorbell, and take off. They watch from the distance as delighted homeowners come out and examine their work. Shows like “Junk Brothers” and “Trash to Treasure” are so cool. … Continue reading →
