Chaos to Calm

History, Detroit’s heartbeat and the music that defined a generation are all preserved at the Motown Museum along with clutter not so hidden in a small but very busy office. Pro organizer Michaele Tocco is tickled to tackle the turmoil in the office of the Museum’s General Manager.

Spare bedrooms should be room for guests or a space to hang your out of season wardrobe, but this media maven/fashionista can’t even step into the room! This brainy beauty knows when its time to call in the professionals, Michaele to the rescue!

When you think of Detroit you think of cars, and car collectors. And, there’s a lot to organize when a family inherits a car barn and all the clutter that goes with it, its like a garage on steroids! Michaele might not know car collecting but she sure can kick start this family past the car clutter!

Organizing tools can be challenging, but if your client is driving all over the city renovating over 10 properties it is a herculean task! Michaele helps a Detroit renovator who has little or no time to keep herself organized.

Kitchens can be battle grounds with items vying for space and families fussing over what goes where. Michaele answers a call for help from a repeat client who appreciates that there is no one like Michaele when it comes to counseling a family through kitchen clutter.

Pro Organizer Michaele Tocco says that whenever you go through a big life change you need to review your closet. A young client about to move onto high school has (with parental permission) called Michaele to take her little girl closet from tot to teen.

Growing a business is a good thing but when it happens fast it can be overwhelming and lead to disorder. Michaele is called in by a repeat client who owns a wine shop that is growing to include food service and just like your kitchen at home there is a lot of room for improvement.

Organization is not just for ladies! A suave gentleman and entrepreneur reaches out to Michaele for help organizing his men’s shop. With clever containers, a man’s cave panache and some knowledgeable fabric storage Michaele is on the organizational – leading edge.

Everyone needs to organize things in plain sight, organizing is not always putting things behind closed doors. Michaele helps the event organizer at an historic venue create an attractive storage system that is so pretty it can share space with brides.

When any space is used by a lot of different people it needs to BE organized to STAY organized. But when the space is back stage and used by Detroit’s Public TV station, The famous Detroit Youth Choir and the equally celebrated Shakespeare in Detroit company the stakes are high. Flexibility is key and the star at center stage is Michaele Tocco as she takes on the challenge.

The beast that hides in the closet is often the clutter that we just can’t let go of. A Beauty Queen mom can’t part with the keepsakes in her pre-teen daughter’s closet. Baby dolls are out and purses and shoes are in as Michaele helps mom through parting with the past.

Even the most accomplished woman can struggle when dealing with the belongings left behind by loved ones who have passed on. This extraordinary homeowner, with a more than impressive resume, has decided its time to attack the mountains of memories and move on…and Michaele is just the right person to take on this emotionally charged organizational challenge.
