Joanna Shearer Teplin and Clea have transformed the playroom for children of Gwyneth Paltrow , the larder Mandy Moore and the cabinets Lauren Conrad and Rachel Zoe into functional works of art.
The founders of The Home Edit, a host organization, met almost three years ago when Shearer moved to Nashville and met with Teplin.
The rest is the story of the organization. Designers in demand combine Shearer's design with Teplin's talent for functionality.
"We always say that as a woman, I never want anyone to say I'm pretty, but I do not have a brain," Shearer said. "It's the same with a project, the most important thing is that it's really smart and it works."
If you're a film star with a 10,000-square-foot home, or someone trying to maximize space in your pantry, anyone after Teplin and Shearer can use crafting tips to organize more efficiently. ,
Teplin said that organizing a craft cabinet was her favorite project, while Shearer described the organization of a playroom at the Hamptons House in Paltrow as the "amazing transformation" she was most proud of.
"It was not a play, I think someone really cared," he said. "It should not be a glamorous piece and we literally let it live its best life."
Do you feel inspired that the cabinets, drawers, shelves and many other things in your home are living their best lives?
These are the rules of the organization that Teplin and Shearer will give their spaces new life.
Good spring cleaning!
Start the spring cleaning in your home, starting with something like a trash can in your kitchen.
A drawer will be easier to say than Teplin and Shearer, the most difficult space to organize is the kitchen pantry, which can take a whole day.
"You learn something about the ropes, and you can rise when you master that drawer," Teplin said. "You can take that and apply it to every room."
Teplin and Shearer say that editing, judging what's in the room you organize, and then eliminating things you do not need is so important that they spread the word in the name of their business.
"The first thing we always say, whatever the project is, is to publish as much as possible," Teplin said. "You need to reduce the substance that you like or use."
She added, "If you can not make any changes, just mix things from one page to another."
To see how much you need to organize, take everything out and put it on the floor or table. The processing of a pantry, for example, can occupy the entire kitchen floor.
"You really have to touch every element in the room, every element," Teplin said. "Eliminate things that have expired or you will not eat or get dressed."
She added, "90% of customers say they do not want to get rid of anything in their wardrobe until we force them to look at each item.
The Teplin mantra for clients during the editing process is: "You get the object or you get the place, but you do not get one."
"You have to make a decision: Does the room to breathe have more value or does this particular object have more value?" she explained. "It applies to a pen in a trash can and a fur coat, and it is applied to a big or small house."
Once you have a machined cabinet, the next step is to group similar items (such as baby food, potato chips, cereals in a pantry) and contain them.
"Putting things in a container and holding the object is actually another part of our name, and our logo, the laurels for our name, is the concept of containment," said Shearer. "We really believe that when things float freely in space, it's a very slippery slope and will simply fall back to where it was."
Baskets, shelves and pots are just a few of the containers that are used by home-edit professionals.
However, there is a trap to avoid.
"People become very specific with their categories," Teplin said. "If you only describe rice in the pantry and come back with quinoa, then you're stuck, you're ready to fail."
Teplin's advice is to think big and make a category instead of food, for example.
The next step for the organizers is to tag each container. Teplin and Shearer say that this important step is to put their customers to the test of success.
"If you have a label on something, it's blaming you," Shearer said. "Not only are you starting to see, wow, this basket is overcrowded and maybe you need to work a little bit more, but it also makes sure you put things back in the right place."
Teplin and Shearer use labels or write content directly into the container.
"It's not really an extra idea to know where to put it when I'm unpacking supplies," Shearer said. "This label is really the key to long-term maintenance."
The use of colors is also an aesthetic approach that fulfills an important function. Children's toys can be stored in cubes of different colors or books can be sorted by color, for example.
Teplin and Shearer are known for their kind of rainbow organization.
"The rainbow is really a label," said Shearer. "What we do when we put things in the order of the rainbow is that we give a series of instructions on how to return things and find what they are looking for."
He added, "My children at this moment, asking them to look for a blue section book, it is a much easier and more intuitive system for them.
