How This First-Time Homebuyer Reached Peak Organization In Her New Chicago Home

Keeping your home clean and organized (even if you're the most Marie Kondo-esque of people) is just plain hard, especially when it comes to the easily cluttered spaces—like the area by the front door that often doubles as your household's one-stop-shop for shoes, coats, purses, mail, the list goes on.

Take it from Grace Hamilton, sales director at Hunker, who recently moved from her smaller space in New York to a full-size abode in Chicago, and is adjusting to the new homeowner lifestyle. (Read: figuring out how to furnish her new place in spite of the increase in square footage.)

"The area that I think really needs to be organized is our front entryway," Hamilton says. "It's a catch-all for coats and boots and it gets really dirty [from] tracking mud through on the hardwood floor." For help, she turned to personal organizer Melissa Groff to clean and revamp her entryway as well as her entertainment space.
