FAQ

  • How does home organization work?

    Home organization is the process of arranging your living space in a way that maximizes functionality, efficiency, and aesthetics. The goal is to create a comfortable and orderly environment that makes it easy to find and access items, reduces clutter, and enhances your quality of life.

    During your free consultation, we will work together to asses your space and needs and provide you with a cost estimate. We will then design a solution that works for your lifestyle. This may or may not include designing and creating new storage solutions, or simply acquiring some organizational tools such as bins and baskets. You can be involved in the process as much or as little as you like.

  • What is it like to have an organizer in my home?

    Having a professional organizer in your home can be a very beneficial experience. We pride ourselves on taking extreme care with your personal belongings and work discreetly, diligently and quietly to get the job done to your satisfaction.

    We can also provide emotional support. For some people, letting go of possessions can be an emotional process. A professional organizer can provide emotional support and guidance as you go through this process, helping you make decisions about what to keep and what to let go of.

  • My home is a mess. Will I feel embarrassed?

    It is normal to feel some level of embarrassment or discomfort about having a professional organizer in your home, particularly if you feel like your space is cluttered or disorganized. However, it's important to remember that we are there to help you, not to judge you. We have likely worked with many clients with similar challenges, and our goal is to create a comfortable and organized living space that meets your needs.

    We understand that organization challenges can arise for a variety of reasons, such as a busy schedule, a change in living circumstances, or simply not knowing where to start. We approach each client with compassion and respect, and will work with you to find solutions that work for you and your lifestyle.

    If you are feeling embarrassed about your space, it can be helpful to remember that we have seen it all and are there to help you make positive changes. We can offer non-judgmental support and guidance as we work together to create a more comfortable and functional living space.

  • How do I prepare for a consultation?

    Preparing for a home organization consultation can help you make the most of your time with the professional organizer. Here are some steps you can take to prepare:

    Identify your goals: Think about what you want to achieve through organization. Do you want to reduce clutter, create more storage space, or improve the functionality of a particular area in your home?

    Prioritize your spaces: Think about which areas in your home are causing you the most stress or are the most disorganized. This will help you prioritize which areas to focus on during the consultation.

    Be open to change: Keep an open mind and be willing to try new organizational strategies. Remember that we are there to help you find solutions that work for you and your lifestyle.

    Be prepared to answer questions: During the consultation, we will ask you questions about your lifestyle, habits, and preferences.

    Set a budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend on organizational tools and services. This will help us identify affordable solutions that meet your needs.

  • Do I need to purchase any additional items?

    You do not necessarily need to purchase additional items for home organization, but depending on your specific needs and goals, it may be helpful to invest in some organizational tools or storage solutions.

    We will work with you to identify areas where additional tools or solutions may be beneficial, and provide recommendations based on your budget and preferences to meet your needs.

    Some examples of organizational tools that may be helpful include:

    Storage containers: These can help you categorize and store items in a more organized way.

    Shelving: Adding shelves can provide additional storage space and help you make better use of vertical space in your home.

    Drawer dividers: These can help you keep drawers neat and organized.

    Hooks and hangers: These can help you make better use of wall space and keep items off the floor.

    Remember, purchasing additional items is not always necessary, and we can work with you to find solutions that work with what you already have. The focus should be on creating an organized and functional living space that meets your needs and preferences.

    If additional materials are necessary, we will research and purchase the items for you. We partner with Williams Sonoma brands and The Container Store to get you materials at a discounted price. Most Labeling materials are provided by us free of charge!

  • Do you provide cleaning services?

    We do not provide general cleaning services, as our focus is on organizing and decluttering your living space. However, we do provide some light cleaning such as wiping down surfaces or vacuuming to ensure that your belongings are organized into a clean and fresh space.

    Our focus is on creating an organized and functional living space that meets your needs and preferences. While we do not provide deep cleaning services, we can help you identify areas in your home that need cleaning and decluttering, and can work with you to develop a plan for keeping your space clean and organized moving forward.
