  • This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Gabriella Joustra is joined by Sara Losonci, the founder of an interior organizing service, Shelfie, to learn more about how living room organization can transform the shared living experience.

    Having lived in the notoriously dense New York City, Sara always had a knack for organizing within tiny, cluttered spaces, with a first-hand understanding of the space struggle and busy lifestyle that powers Manhattan. Thus, Shelfie was birthed with the goal of implementing the best storage solutions that remain pleasing to the eye.

    In this episode, Sara defines ‘shared living’ as households encompassing more than one person, whether flatmates, families with children, or multi-general households. She also shares that assigning personal spaces, utilizing vertical and wall spaces, and setting clear boundaries can all support effective conflict resolution.

    Together, Gabriella and Sara discuss the key principles to consider when optimizing shared living spaces and cultural and social factors to consider. So, if your shared living space needs an overhaul, tune in to this episode for expert advice that will most definitely come in handy!

  • Step into the world of pristine closets and perfectly folded linens with our latest episode of Room by Room! Host Gabriella Joustra invites Tristin Chiafullo, a home organization guru and personal trainer, to unveil the secrets behind mastering laundry room organization for optimal fabric care. Get ready to revolutionize your laundry routine and preserve your wardrobe effortlessly!

    Tristin Chiafullo is originally from New Castle, PA, with three out-of-state moves over the last 20 years as an adult. Those moves helped her to determine what truly mattered to her. She has always had a ‘knack’ for organizing and a desire for an environment that was always ‘in order.’

    For Tristin, order means peace and focus. She learned that she values peace over almost everything, so her environment needed to reflect that. Tristin believes that to achieve this in every area of your home, you have to approach everything you bring to it with intention. You have to think about the value, not of the items, but the value the items bring to our lives. Do the items support the life you truly want? She always asks herself this question to ensure she only has things around that offer value and joy and provide a need that contributes to the lifestyle that she wants to live. This is the primary approach she uses with every client and every project she takes to ensure that her clients can maintain the spaces she creates.

    In this enlightening episode, Tristin shares her top strategies for maintaining garment integrity and streamlining laundry tasks. By hanging clothes straight from the dryer, she eliminates the need for tedious ironing sessions, offering a time-saving solution for busy individuals. Emphasizing the importance of proper sorting, she advocates for separating lights, darks, delicates, and towels to prevent color bleeding and fabric damage.

    Plus, she reveals a pro tip: washing bed sheets immediately after removal ensures freshness and prolongs their lifespan. Tune in to uncover Tristin's expert insights and revolutionize your laundry routine today!
