Time to sort through your treasures?

  • Clothing
  • Furniture
  • Dishes
  • Appliances
  • Memorabilia
  • Yard equipment

Moving to a smaller space can be freeing. But letting go can be hard. We'll help you decide, declutter, donate, discard. We'll also help you find any other resources you might need for your move. You'll take just the right things with you to your new home. And your old home will look better and sell quicker!


The Assessment

Two organizers visit your home or workspace for about 1.5 hours. We look, listen and ask questions. Then we define your goals and write up specific changes to get you there. At the end of the assessment, we'll take your donation, deliver them and send you an itemized receipt!

The Customized Plan

For the true Do-It-Yourselfer, this is all you need to organize step-by-step. The plan shows exactly what to do, sort, and buy for each space. It includes the "wow!" ideas you would never think of, and recommendations for specific products and services. Just check things off as you do them.

The Work Session

Need help? We'll send you two energetic, supportive organizers to work with you in a 3-hour work session. Side by side, we sort, purge, rearrange, containerize, label and anything else that needs doing. We guide you on what to keep, donate, sell, and toss. We'll take whatever you aren't keeping and deliver it where it needs to go.

Debbie’s Story

Downsizing often involves creating mult-purpose rooms. Debbie called because she needed to make better use of her craft room. An avid crafter, Debbie works with every imaginable medium: flowers, decoupage, beading, sewing, knitting and more! She completes beautiful projects for friends and family. However, her creativity causes her to see potential in everything, which leads to too many projects.

 We helped Debbie decide which crafts deserve her full attention, and which could be eliminated or paired down. Any supplies she chose not to keep went to a retirement community for their craft room, or to a preschool for art projects. (She was delighted to hear that her artificial flowers later came home with our kids!) Now her craft room works for her, and she is able to use the space for guests who come to visit.
