Our Process
1. Consultation
Each project begins with an initial consultation over the phone where we discuss your areas of concern. We will talk about your lifestyle as it relates to your organizing needs and priorities: What are your goals? What is working? What is not working? We then discuss your habits and preferences to lay the foundation of our work together.
2. Plan the work.
At our first scheduled appointment, we will work with you to develop a personalized, step-by-step plan, and explain how the process will work. We understand that each home is different which is why it is important to us to build every solution to suit your individual taste, current lifestyle, budget and schedule. Then, we are ready to go with hands-on organizing! We like to re-purpose the containers and organizing tools you already own, but if there is something else that would work better, we will recommend what you need, purchase it for you, or leave you with a shopping list.
3. Work the plan.
Our method is to begin by sorting and editing items. If we are working side-by-side with you, it is our role to keep you focused, efficient, and prevent you from getting overwhelmed. If we are working on our own, we will stick to the plan that we developed together. We create systems customized to your preferences and find homes for your things. We reinvent your space in a way that optimizes storage, increases functionality, is super easy-to-maintain, and looks great!
4. Keep up the upkeep.
Finally, when everything is in its place, we talk about maintenance. For us, this is a very important part of the process. We give you tips and techniques, specifically for your space and habits, which you can use to maintain the order long term. When a space looks beautiful, you are more likely to keep it up! Once we leave your home, our hope is that you will feel lighter, with a renewed level of productivity and love for your things and spaces. With practice and repetition, simplification should become a lifestyle, and while we’re happy to come back for maintenance visits, our hope is that they won’t be necessary.
