Barbara has at her roots a sense of “organizing”. As the founder and President of “A Proper Place” which launched in 2001, she focused on professional organizing. During this time, she created products based on organizing – the first product being an addressing system and note taking which was a pre-cursor to the Palm pilot, which she sold to the “At-A-Glance” company.

  • Declutter Your Closet: Expert Tips from Barbara Brock
    Barbara advises discarding "smelly shoes, torn clothing, and out-of-style items." Avoid keeping impulse buys and excess of one style or color. "Empty boxes should be purged to free up space." Seasonal decluttering helps prioritize your wardrobe, making it easier to find what you need and creating a calming, organized space.
  • Expert Tips for a Perfectly Organized Kitchen Pantry
    Barbara suggests placing everyday items at eye level and using adjustable, narrow shelves. She advises, “Categorize and containerize items, and regularly edit out expired goods.” Avoid large, opaque containers and use airtight options to prevent pests. For optimal space use, consider 4” deep shelves and rolling bins. Barbara’s expertise ensures a clutter-free, efficient pantry.

  • “If you make the bed, the whole room looks tidy,” says Barbara Brock, a professional organizer. “An unmade bed immediately gives an impression of disorganization and chaos. Visually, [a made bed] will be calming.”

  • According to professional home stager Barbara Brock, founder of Barbara Brock Inc., a first impression of one’s home is the gateway to the rest of the space. 'In order for someone to have a pleasurable experience, the appearance has to be minimal furniture, a pleasing color palette, and minimum accessories,' she says. 'If an entryway is too crowded, is too loaded with furniture, art, or accessories, the brain goes on overload, and it’s overstimulated by seeing too many things.'

  • Home stager and expert organizer, Barbara Brock, continues, ‘Decluttering can happen in small steps. Perhaps you want to declutter a drawer, a shelf, or a cabinet. This type of decluttering can be scheduled weekly or monthly to stay on top of the mess. If it’s to declutter a garage, for example, probably it’s best to declutter annually so you can schedule help.’
