Business to organize homes opens in Cape

People who put off organizing the garage, a cluttered closet or the basement can now get some help. Heather Gaston of Cape Girardeau has opened Let's Get Organized, a business to help people put their homes in order. "For a lot of people, it's their garage," Gaston said. "They always wanted to park their car in there, but there is way too much stuff." Gaston offers to help people decide what to keep, what to store and what to throw away. Then she makes suggestions on how to use available space to keep it organized. She is running the business out of her home.
