I recently acquired a number of new pieces including furniture and accessories. Of course I already had a complete home. Denise came into my home, and in just a few hours, she had waved a wand of magic! She rearranged items, making old things look new and new things look like they had always been there! Secondly, I was about to spend $2000 for a company to install new shelving and hanging in my master closet. With Denise’s suggestions, I spent $100 at Target and my closet is the most organized it has ever been. "

"We had been our new office for a few months and none of us had enough time to get unpacked and organized. All of our new office furniture was still in boxes in the conference room. Denise was able to handle all of our needs, from office and filing organization, space planning, furniture placement, and fabric selections right down to details such as plants and picture framing. I especially appreciate her inclination to save money and create a comfortable working environment."

"I first met Denise as a neighbor and was always impressed with how easily she could find things in her own house. Everything belonged some place logical and she didn't seem to have an abundance of typical clutter. She later formed this business and I sought her help in planning kitchen cabinets in a house I was building. She had very practical ideas which essentially involved rearranging things without changing my budget a penny. Denise is a very good listener, yet has the ability to have clients review their attachments to possessions that truly need to go! I feel like she respects individual needs even those of children in a household, but is effective in getting clients to their goals of less junk, more accessible and logical organization of belongings, and keeping within a reasonable budget."

The experience, preparation and training for my business actually goes back as far as I can remember. At last count I have moved 28 times. My parents used to buy, restore and sell houses. Through watching them I learned how to “do it yourself” as well as pack and unpack, create space, arrange furniture, restore furniture, stage homes for resale, downsize and organize. Over the past several years, while being a stay at home mom, I found myself helping friends organize different areas of their homes, rearrange furniture, group like items together to create interesting collections for display and just had fun creating a new look. I attended interior design courses, then after some very challenging situations involving personally packing and moving from a large home as well as downsizing my belongings, I started thinking in the direction of organizing. I realized that I could never have done it all without the help of my mother (one of the most organized people I have ever known) and I had always enjoyed helping my friends as well. There's something about tackling your own space that is overwhelming and it helps to have someone to bounce ideas off of as well as keep you motivated to move forward. Not to mention the fact that two people get twice as much done in the same amount of time. I have also had several years' experience as an administrative assistant for 2 commercial real estate companies and was personal assistant to a family owned company, which owned several different businesses. This has helped tremendously when dealing with commercial jobs and home offices. All of these experiences led me to realize there is a very big need for my services in our community. People are very busy these days with two income households, children and their busy schedules. By the time someone contacts me, time has gone by and items have been shoved away, they are overwhelmed and they need a hand to get back on track. They are stressed and usually spending a lot of time searching for keys, a wallet or purse, clothing, shoes, past due bills, paperwork, books, their cell phone, toiletries, kitchen items, etc. This is why most people are late to work and meetings, doctor's appointments, scheduled time at the gym or even friends. My joy is in helping people get things back under control, creating a place for everything, then providing maintenance tips to keep everything in order.
