Yes. I can take one carload per session, and we can explore other options if more is needed.

Paper shredding, household chemicals, electronic waste—these are just a few of the items that pile up in homes because they require special disposal procedures. I am a resource for finding the best ways to dispose of your most pesky items responsibly.

No. Most projects involve decluttering, so we won't know what's needed (if anything) until later in the process.

If products (bins, baskets, storage tubs) are needed or desired, I will create a customized list of recommendations for you to choose from informed by your aesthetic preferences.

You’d be surprised at what we can achieve by repurposing items you already have for storage. We will get creative to find the storage solutions you need!

Products are not included in the price of organization services and can add significantly to the cost of your project, sometimes by 50-100%. It can even be more, depending on the nature of the project.

Once we have decided on the right products, I can help you purchase them online for delivery or in-store pick up. I will bring your pickup items personally unless they are too large for me to physically carry or fit into my vehicle.

I do not personally drill into clients’ walls or assemble anything other than simple storage solutions.

If your project needs additional contractors, you can hire me to source and do initial outreach to highly-rated local contractors in your area who can help bring the entire project together.

Project scopes vary widely from person to person, so it depends on your personal situation. Let's talk and we can explore which package might be right for you.

You can work side-by-side with me the whole time or be hands off depending on your preference. There are key points in the process when I will need your input such as:

Goal setting. This usually takes place in the free consultation.

Decluttering. Only you can decide what stays and what goes.

Purchase decisions for organizing products/solutions.

It’s optimal for all people who share the home to be involved in the organization process. All adults and older children must have the final say on which of their items will go. Ideally, they would also give input on any systems they personally use.

It’s helpful if we can schedule for when younger children are at daycare, school, or a relative’s house, or under the care of a babysitter. This will enable us to focus on the job at hand.

I’m pet-friendly! However, I may ask you to secure pets in separate rooms, kennels, or off-site once we begin working. This will help maximize our focused time together.

You don't have to do anything between sessions, but some people like receiving “homework.” If that's you, we'll discuss small projects you can chip away at in between sessions so we're that much further along the next time.

Homes are real places, not staged photo shoots. Messes are going to happen a lot. But decluttering, organization, and systems can help you return to your desired level of order more quickly and efficiently.

I can also provide you and your household members with basic lessons in maintaining systems to help disrupt the cycle of creeping disorganization. Clients may also re-book for periodic maintenance.

I don't provide cleaning services beyond light surface cleaning to facilitate the organizing process. But I can promise you, cleaning will get easier once you're organized.

I work in Chicago, IL and several area suburbs including Burr Ridge, IL; Clarendon Hills, IL; Downers Grove, IL; Elmhurst, IL; Glencoe, IL; Glenview, IL; Hinsdale, IL; Kenilworth, IL; Northbrook, IL; Northfield, IL; Oak Park, IL; Oakbrook, IL; Park Ridge, IL; River Forest, IL; Western Springs, IL; Willowbrook, IL; Wilmette, IL; Winnetka, IL, and more. I serve several parts of Cook County, Lake County, and DuPage County.

Generally, I try to stay within a 30-45 minute radius of my home in Logan Square. In certain cases, I may be able to help someone outside this radius, but will charge an additional travel fee per session. We may book larger blocks at a time (6 hours versus 4) for efficiency’s sake.

Zelle, Venmo, cash, check.

In order to secure my services and reserve a dedicated time on my calendar, I require full payment up front for packages, and payment the day before or the day of services for hourly projects.
