How long to organize my space?
During our complimentary consultation, we’ll review your goals and provide an estimate of how long it will take to organize your space based on similar sized projects.
The number of sessions can vary depending on how quickly you make decisions and how much you’re willing to let go. Quick decisions speed up the decluttering process, and letting go of more items accelerates the organizing phase.
Will it last?
We’re all about sustainability. Our goal is to make organizing easy by designing systems that fit into your lifestyle. With everything having its own designated spot, it’s easy to keep things tidy. Plus, we teach you routines to make it last.
As our clients declutter, they often find themselves spending less. By being mindful about what you bring into your home, you avoid future clutter buildup and enjoy a more organized space.
Shouldn’t I be able to do this myself?
The home organization industry thrives because not everyone can tackle it alone. With your busy schedule, you likely don’t have days to devote to decluttering and organizing.
Our expert services handle the planning, time, and dedication required for effective organization, allowing you to focus on outsourcing what you’re not willing to spend your time on or what you may not be good at.
Spend your energy on your priorities while we take care decluttering and organizing for you!
What if I'm embarrassed about the state of my home?
We’re here without judgment. Every day, we work with clients just like you who feel embarrassed about the state of their homes, sometimes to the point where they avoid having anyone over. We actually encourage you to leave your home as it is so we can better understand where you’re struggling and provide more effective help. We are here to support you!
What are your rates?
Our rates range between $160-$180/hr for two Professional Organizers. Please refer to our Services/Rates tab for our Packages.
How long are sessions?
Sessions typically are 5-6 hours and are scheduled between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Do I need to be involved the whole time?
Not at all! Our service is fully flexible and designed to fit your schedule. We take care of pre-sorting and categorizing, involving you only when decisions need to be made—like what to keep, discard, or donate.
During the organizing phase, we work our magic! You can focus on your priorities or step away while we are working!
Will I need to buy storage products?
Storage products can make a significant difference in how efficiently your space functions. When we suggest new products to enhance functionality, we’ll incorporate as many of your existing bins and baskets that we can if desired.
Before making recommendations, we’ll ensure they align with your preferred style and material choices, such as plastic, wood, or baskets.
Will you force me to get rid of stuff?
Never worry, you’re always in control. We’re here to help you reach your goals and offer guidance as you make decisions. You can keep those sentimental items that bring you joy.
Our main focus is on what you want to keep, and you might be surprised at how many items don’t fit that criteria!
What can I expect?
During the process you can expect to feel heard and respected for everything you share. After, you will experience more calm, peace, and less stress in your everyday life.
Help! We have kids. Do you help with that?
As a mom, I understand how kids can add to the chaos in your home, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I’m passionate about reducing the time and mental energy you spend constantly tidying up after your kids. I have plenty of strategies to help. I work with you and with you child, if beneficial.
Reducing clutter has many benefits for your kids. A clutter-free space can bring more calm to their lives, especially for children with ADHD and other neurodivergent children. Soon, they will happily let go of much of their stuff and ask for less!
Visual clutter creates mental clutter.
