We want to welcome Tara Kohlbacher of Tulsa, OK to the NEAT team. We are thrilled to have her. Let’s find out more about what makes her so NEAT.
NM :: Why do you want to run NEAT in your city?
TK :: I love helping people transform spaces to their fullest potential!
NM :: What did you do before NEAT?
TK :: Residential interior design
NM :: What makes your city unique?
TK :: Tulsa is such a neat and thriving city! It’s a drastically different Tulsa than it was 20 years ago. The Gathering Place, our $465 million public park, is just one of the many attractions that makes it unique. Tulsa is a big city with a small feel. It’s filled with great people, activities, and businesses!
NM :: How long have you lived in your city?
TK :: I was born and raised in Tulsa. After attending Baylor University in Texas my husband and I lived in Dallas for 11 years, and then moved back to Tulsa 5 years ago.
NM :: What are your favorite places to eat in your city?
TK :: My favorite date night spots are Laffa, Amelia’s and Stonehorse. Favorite lunch spot is hands-down Lone Wolf. And my family and I are “regulars” at RBar and American Solera.
NM :: Show us a picture of your most organized space and tell us what it is.
TK :: I have a glass door on my pantry so it puts a little extra pressure on how everything looks. This system has held up well with my family of four. Everything has a place and it’s flexible while also still looking put-together.
NM :: What about your least organized space? What the heck happened?
TK :: I’ve put this project off for far too long! The filing cabinet is stored in an upstairs storage room, which was originally thought to be my office. I want to get rid of the ugly cabinet and use a different system.
NM :: What do you think is going to be your favorite part of running NEAT in your city?
TK :: Helping others make their space more functional and aesthetic!
NM :: What can people expect when they hire you to organize their home?
TK :: To problem solve and transform whatever space(s) are not working for you!
NM :: Do you have any hidden talents that we should know about?
TK :: I’m afraid I’ve become an indoor plant lady. Every room with a window has at least one plant. I love it aesthetically and also for the air quality purposes. In order to keep them all alive I water every Monday like clockwork.
Congratulations on launching Tulsa! We’re so excited to have you join NEAT!
