Hello, I'm Melinda Anderson—professional organizer, founder of Southern Home Organizers, and author of Styled & Stocked Retail-Inspired Organizing for Real Homes. After helping hundreds of families—from one-bedroom condos to sprawling estate homes—I've seen it all. Clothes mountains. Paper hoarders. Book collectors. Toy avalanches. You name it.
I developed a signature system called the Shelf Life Method™, based on the same organizational principles department stores use to manage inventory and design spaces people love to be in. It's about arranging your home in a way that works for the people who live there—not for some magazine spread.
Whether you're a busy mom, a newly-married couple, or someone finally ready to make a change, I'll walk you through it step by step—sorting what you have, storing what you need, and creating simple systems you can actually maintain.
