If there’s one storage spot in your home that embodies the “out of sight, out of mind” attitude, it’s under the bed.

The Uncluttered Life, Inc. strives to make organization a top priority during life interruptions, changes and transitions that happen to everyone. And we work to reduce what overwhelms so many. In our home organization business, for example, we optimize what a client currently owns and loves, declutter the rest, and improve home flow efficiency and function.

Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
My optimism comes from an internal feeling I have that life is about improvement, making things better.

Your bathroom is arguably one of the most important places in the house to keep clean. It’s a small space often saturated with moisture—not to mention bacteria, dead skin cells, and other germs. Shower stalls specifically are a hotspot for mold, mildew, and fungus, which often take up residence on wet shower curtains.

We are so excited to be partnering with Alta Daily for the DFW area and connecting our minimalist approach with Alta’s personal style companion.

When you get the urge to deep-clean a closet—or rip everything out from underneath the sink and start fresh—you might also feel compelled to buy some organizing accouterments. As far as storage hacks go, clear plastic bins are a perennial favorite for decluttering enthusiasts who want to create Insta-worthy displays, but beyond that you may have noticed there are more than a few rolling storage carts and back-of-the-door pocket organizers on the market to choose from.

I am a very organized and focused person. I put one foot in front of the other and keep moving. I don’t think this habit is a magic secret and I think anyone can live life this way. Because I am in the organizing business, perhaps my skills are more honed. But, I can teach this to anyone.

I have been practicing the art of simplified living for many years. In the course of doing so, I became a professional organizer through Marie Kondo (KonMari Method®). I have also paid a lot of attention to and follow Karen Kingston.

I have always been interested in home organizing in one form or another my entire life. I was on organizing bandwagon long before “spark joy” or any of the current trends in organizing were a “thing”. In fact, my background in anthropology was probably my lead-up to organizing.

I graduated from UC Berkeley. In 2020, right before lock down my husband got a job here in DFW. I was pregnant with our son, Rowan. The country went into lockdown, and being pregnant, we didn’t want to risk traveling, so we bought a house remotely in May and moved in July 3rd. 

Cathy has been organizing in one form or another her entire life. She was on the decluttering bandwagon long before “spark joy” was a household phrase. For this reason, becoming a KonMari Consultant was an easy decision for her.

The Uncluttered Life offers decluttering and organizing services to create an environment that maximizes your time, money and energy. What they offer goes far beyond straightening up a pantry or tidying a closet. Their goal is to not only provide relief, but also to instill knowledge that helps their clients develop life-long organizational skills.
