Peace of Mind Organizing

Peace of Mind Organizing in the news

2 November 2015

I was delighted when I was asked to organize the pantry of St. Louis Magazine’s dining editor, George Mahe, for an article for the Winter issue of the glossy newsstand magazine, St. Louis At Home.

I spent a couple of hours with George, along with the writer and photographer (you can bet I put them to work), in his lovely, if petite, kitchen. George is serious about food and his pantry was already pretty great before I got my hands on it. I helped him take it up a notch in those two hours and the terrific writer, Jeannette Cooperman did a great job of capturing what happens in a pantry-organizing session.

The result was full-page article (dominated by a picture of me!) in the current issue of this glossy magazine. Here’s a photo of the article:

The online version gives more of a blow by blow of the session and it shows a set of before-and-after photos of the pantry, if you’re curious. You can see that his pantry already had it going on, especially his pull-down spice rack which was working really well for him. Even well-organized pantries have expired foods in them.

This article was especially sweet for me, as I celebrate my business’s tenth anniversary. Ten years ago, I had my very first magazine interview as organizer, for an article that was published in the January-February 2006 issue of St. Louis At Home. I’m happy to say that magazine interviews have become less stressful as the years go by!

Edited to add: I wrote this Monday and then on Tuesday received a link to a profile of me on the Kahoots blog. (Kahoots is a contacts management app.)
