Organizing

Whether we focus on a single space or your whole home, organizing sessions include a three-step process (sort, edit, organize) to help you determine what you truly need, use, and love to create a sense of calm.

In addition, we’ll happily handle donation drop-offs and shop for organizational products best suited for your space, style, and budget.

Move Management

There’s a reason that moving is considered one of the most stressful life events! So let me help you start fresh in your new space, unpacking and establishing great organizational systems from the get-go.

Please note that unpack projects typically require more lead time to coordinate; ideally, at least two months’ notice is appreciated!

Give Where You Live

De-cluttering is often a big part of getting organized, and the items you no longer use may be a big help to non-profit organizations that serve those in need. I’ll help you donate items to people that can use them.

It is my mission to recycle and dispose of items appropriately and in environmentally friendly ways.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jolene, helped me organize my lower level. My studio, guest room and exercise room needed a major overhaul. Jolene listened and asked questions to know how she can help me best. She has great ideas , but she also listened closely to my vision and made it a reality. She measured for shelves and helped me find them on-line arranged to her handy man to come hang them. I also needed  a peg board to be made, she helped me measure and contacted two different people to get bids for me. It turned out exactly the way I wanted. I also needed a painter; she got her painter to come give me an estimate and oversaw the whole project, even when I had to go out of town she came and made sure all is going as planned. She has her own contacts and every one she recommended was excellent.
She was easy and fun to work with, and I will definitely use her services again. Great person and extremely efficient.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiring Jolene to help me right-size my home has greatly improved my life. Jolene helps me decide what is needed to keep and what could be given to charity. She is patient and understanding about the difficulty of letting go of lifelong possessions. She is incredibly resourceful about setting up new systems in a home office, bathrooms, closets, bedrooms, kitchens and more. Every room of my home is now more efficient. I always feel better after spending time with Jolene. Instead of fretting about clutter, I am surrounded by a calm and organized atmosphere in my right-sized home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jolene came in each visit with a smile on her face and an encouraging word, every time. She is nonjudgmental, and understands there are emotions involved in the moving process. She has great ideas for how to purge, how to protect your items when packing, even on what to leave out for staging your house!
She encouraged me when I wanted to stop for the day, and did it all with a smile.
If you, or anyone you know, is preparing to move, hire Jolene to help you prep and pack your home!
