Ep 5. Retta and a Converted Office

Get Organized with The Home Edit is a reality show that follows the lives of Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, two professional organizers who help celebrities and regular people declutter their homes. In season 1 episode 5 entitled "Retta and a Converted Office," the duo helps actress Retta and her converted office space.

Retta, known for her roles in Parks and Recreation and Good Girls, has a home office that has become a dumping ground for everything that doesn't have a place in her house. With files piled high and boxes strewn about, Retta is struggling to find a way to make the most out of the space.

Clea and Joanna waste no time getting to work. They quickly assess the space and determine how to make it more functional. The Home Edit team suggests installing a custom-built bookshelf that will store all of Retta's files and create a designated spot for her books and collectibles. They also suggest implementing a color-coded system for all the books to make it easy for Retta to find what she's looking for.

Another challenge the team faces is Retta's tendency to hang on to things. They encourage her to donate or sell everything she doesn't need, and provide compartmentalized storage options for any items she does choose to keep. The duo also installs a beautiful desk with plenty of storage drawers for all of Retta's office supplies.

Throughout the episode, Clea and Joanna also make sure to add touches of personality to the space by incorporating Retta's favorite colors and design elements. The end result is a functional and stylish office space that suits Retta's needs perfectly.

Overall, "Retta and a Converted Office" is a satisfying episode that showcases the expertise and creativity of the Home Edit team. By providing actionable tips and design advice, the show not only entertains but also educates viewers on how to make their own spaces more organized and functional.
