Which rooms do you work with?
We will tackle anything from your children’s playroom to your kitchen pantry. Almost all areas of your home, office and vehicles are covered.
Will you work with me or alone?
It’s entirely up to you. If you don’t want to touch a thing, you don’t have to. You can only be present in the purging stage of the project to make those key decisions and we will take care of the rest. But, if you or anyone else wants to help, it’ll get the job done faster, and in the end, save you money.
Will my sessions be confidential?
You betcha! All meetings, conversations, and questions are between you and us and no one else. To see other guidelines we stand by, please read the bottom section of the About page.
What if I only need you for a few hours?
That’s A-Ok! We can go as low as one single session witch last 6hrs.
Do I have to buy organizing products?
You don’t have to. We will work with your budget and use the products you already have. However, if you can, sourcing the right organizing products will be very beneficial in order to optimize the space and create a cohesive and clean look. Having the right tools in place can make a big difference in your day-to-day life. We will listen to you and recommend options that fit your particular situation, budget, and style.
How is purchasing organizational items handled?
During our initial consultation and during sessions we will share with you our favorite products and in most of the cases you will be able to buy them online. If you request our assistance to go the store we will charge for the time required to drive to the store and back, and time in the store. If you would like us to prepare a shopping list with links of specific products for you to buy online and you want this to be done outside of the In Home Session we will agree on the amount of time we will dedicate to do this and we will invoice you accordingly. The same fee will apply if you request our assistance outside of our In-Home Session time to to obtain quotations, get design drafts, coordinate services with providers or similar errands needed to complete a project.

How much time will my project take?
There are a number of variables that will determine how much time a project will take, including the number of items in the room, if you want to be involved in the entire process, how fast you or other members of the house go through the purging stage, and if the project requires packing or unpacking, decluttering or only organizing.
