How an Apartment Guru Saved My Tiny Home from the Clutches of Clutter

People who work with me put themselves first. Seeing what a great strength it is to delegate and ask for help has changed me. I used to be reluctant to accept help from my friends, even when I needed it. We’ve been in our “new apartment” for a year. Downsizing from 5 closets to 2 was easy for my partner but I was struggling to work out the last 5%. @dear_mess worked with me to help downsize these last few boxes. The item I was most dreading dealing with alone was a pair of jeans covered in buttons that decorated my teen bedroom that lived in a box, moving from apartment to apartment. It was a scrapbook of that time. One of my favorite ways to spend a few hours was walking around Georgetown, stepping into my favorite stores including Commander Salamander. In junior high, I spent a Saturday writing letters for Amnesty International to help a lesbian in Virginia keep her children after a judge took said she was an unfit mother because of her sexual orientation. In high school, I got to go backstage for a few U2 concerts and Bono gave me a Vote Baby button. These moments are inside me and not in the mementos but I kept a few of these buttons because they remind me to stay true to that passionate teenager inside me. My clients gave me the strength to ask for the help I needed. Is there something in your apartment that could be better with a little help?
When your apartment works for you, you have more time to enjoy this amazing city.
