As
written by Jura Koncius:
The Before: "Soon-to-be high school student Maureen
Zimmerman wanted a space that matures as she does.
She needed help tossing, tidying and getting organized.
Zimmerman's room has two big closets: one packed with
clothes and accessories, the other with Beanie Babies,
craft supplies and photos. She had no shoe storage
and her jewelry was jammed in a shopping bag. Zimmerman's
DVDs and CDs were scattered everywhere."

The
Designers Critique:
"Scott Roewer, a professional organizer for Solutions
by Scott, says: Keep similar things together and get
out-of-season items put away. He suggests using bins
and baskets as tools for giving everything a place
to go. They shouldn't be too big, Roewer adds, or
stuff will get buried in them."
