This is the home of a lovely lady with hoarding disorder. We worked together to clear all the rooms and she bought a new bed when we had cleared the bedroom as she had previously slept on the sofa.
This was a huge step for her as was letting me into the worst room, see above.
A few dead mice later this was the result.
A light and airy dining/hobby room. I still go regularly to stop it slipping back. I sourced storage for her along the way including the nice baskets for her wool.
This is a short synopsis of what I have learnt over the years as a professional organiser, especially with regards to hoarding clients and how to work with them.
