Lisa was great. She is very patient and has a pleasant personality. She made the organization very easy. She organized all of the cabinets without making it stressful on me. When she left all of the cabinets were clean and nothing was left behind or out of place. I highly recommend her.

It goes well 100% of the time in the nearly two years that I have worked with Lisa Marie. As my personal assistant, she produces results and projects, big and small and my inbox decreases every time she comes (2-3 times per week). Her keen creative design skills has given us gorgeous surroundings without paying the high costs of professional designers. Lisa Marie has changed our lives over the past two years. I was "frozen" about starting many projects. Her first day working with me, she cleaned out and got rid of my giant desk (something I had wanted to do for years) and within a short time, my entire office consisted of a sleek countertop and we now work on dual computers side by side on many projects. She is an inspiration to get things done ... because she does the work so well with confidence and grace!
Description of Work: Lisa Marie handles endless and limitless tasks to keep our household running smoothly that keeps us happy. Today, she brought my accounting (Quickbooks) up to date, looked at fabrics for 2 slip covers, went to the pharmacy and hardware store for us, coordinated bottled water delivery and researched solutions to confine our two golden doodles to the kitchen and family room when someone comes in.

My entire home office was a total nightmare. My desk was covered with so many papers and files to the point that I couldn?t find anywhere to place my laptop. I spent forever looking for things; I was so overwhelmed by the clutter that I didn?t even know where to start. I desperately needed help! Lisa Marie was a godsend! She was a pleasure to work with, was flexible, and accommodated me on very short notice. She immediately went to work reorganizing and decluttering my entire office. The end result is a workable office, my laptop has a home on my desk, and I can actually find things! I can?t thank Lisa Marie enough! She has made my life much easier.
Description of Work: Organized and decluttered my home office. Cost was for approximately 7 to 8 hours of service over 2 days.

First of all there are not enough words for how nice Lisa is! Lisa since the day that I contacted her for an estimate and general information was super responsive and quick and easy. We had to reschedule several times during the week and Lisa was great to accommodate my needs. We decided to set our appointment on a Sunday. She told me that she would get here between 2pm and 2:30pm, she showed up exactly at 2! She got to work right away! I had many clothes stored in bags since I recently moved to my new house. She started unpacking and placing them in their places. She asked me where I would like more some items but her comments and advises are even better. She was able to organize my entire closet (all my clothes, shoes, bags, scarfs, etc...) in a perfect manner. The closet just changed completely! It looks amazing. She then started lining the drawers and showed me which would be the best way to fold clothes so it would be more efficient! Overall, I would give her an A+++ in everything! I am definitely referring her to as many people as possible since everybody could use her services!

I recently moved into a new home and was overwhelmed with the task of putting everything away, and doing it properly. I was lucky to find Lisa Marie. I had her come out several times to help me with putting my new home together. Lisa is very calm, proficient, methodical, dedicated and hard working. So, basically.. amazing. She is great at what she does and has a beautiful personality. I will definitely be having her come out again. I highly recommend Lisa Marie, most definitely.
Description of Work: Recently moved into a new home, the moving company unpacked all the boxes onto the floors and countertops, it was chaos. I hired Lisa Marie to get everything organized and put away properly.

Lisa Marie was very professional and personable. I felt comfortable with her from the moment we first spoke on the phone. I had my kitchen remodeled and wanted to ensure that my kitchen cabinets would be organized in the most efficient manner. Amazingly, with her great skills, everything was organized and I was left with more space than I anticipated. Once the kitchen organization was completed, she had about 30 minutes left and moved to a spot where I had recent letters and papers that I had not put away. She quickly organized that area. Additionally, she gave me some ideas about how I could efficiently organize a couple of outdoor sheds and an outdoor workspace. After she left, she called me on her drive home to suggest what I could do with the last remaining empty drawer in the kitchen. I was impressed that she would take the time to call me after her work was completed. I would use her again, and I would definitely recommend her services.

I've used Lisa Marie's services before: once when I was downsizing from a huge, cluttered home and again when I moved in to a much smaller home. She's amazing. She has a gift for for making spaces work and checks things out as she goes to be sure her solution will work for you. She sets things up so it's easy to keep it all organized after she leaves. She also has excellent taste and has made great suggestions for my new decor. This time Lisa Marie helped me with a monumental task. I had to sort through and compile mountains of financial records for a legal proceeding. Lisa Marie is as trustworthy as they come so I had no concerns about her handling this documentation. Again, she dug in and created a way to streamline the process. It took 1/4 of the time it would have taken me on my own, plus any additional records I need will be easy to find. She is as non-judgmental and patient as they come -- a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her highly and will continue to use her services whenever such things come up. She does it all!!
Description of Work: Helped organize and compile many, many years worth of documents for legal proceeding.

I wish I had taken photos of the "before" and "after" of our work with Lisa Marie. The change is DRAMATIC. The room is about 20x20' and it had become the repository of old childrens' toys, clothing, books, athletic equipment, old family furniture, rolled up rugs and all manner of treasures. Truly, we could just barely make our way to the closet where we stored our luggage. After talking to Lisa Marie on the phone we asked her to come and help us get started on bringing some order out of that chaos. At the end of the first session together we could actually walk around the room a bit. Lisa Marie worked very patiently and gently with us to help us sort out what we wanted to keep, sell or give away. We continued in that way for several sessions and at the end of each session we had freed up more open space and Lisa Marie carted away the items we wanted to donate and arranged for Salvation Army pick-up service for larger items. The room now is very open - the remaining items are largely only those things we want to sell or treasures to pass along to our children. Sorting through the children's things was a very nostalgic experience and Lisa Marie was very sensitive to our need to take it at our own pace. The next phase of the project will be to establish a value for the items we want to sell and identify potential buyers and Lisa Marie offers this service, as well. We are taking a little time off now but will soon get back to the project and look forward to working again with Lisa Marie. We recommend her without reservation. She is very calm but still manages to keep us moving toward our goal.
Description of Work: Lisa Marie helped us, over the course of several visits, to clean out the accumulated clutter in our large playroom over the garage.

Lisa Marie is the best. Tasks that seemed like they would take hours to do she tackled them quickly, confidently, efficiently and then they were done!!! She is an absolute pleasure to work with in every way and is experienced in so many areas. She is patient and quickly "gets into your head" so she can anticipate how you want something done. I highly recommend her for general office cleanup and maintenance. She is willing to do any and all types of work to get the job done perfectly and completely.
Description of Work: I was drowning in a flood of clutter. I told Lisa Marie I wanted to streamline my office and redesign it so it would be a place I would like to go instead of avoiding it completely. In a very short period of time, it is now done and I'm excited about decluttering and reorganizing the rest of my house.

I told her I was having a ladies luncheon and she made everything happen, right down to the napkin rings. She has style, good taste and excellent communication skills. She makes phone calls for me, picks up items from the store and seems to have fun doing all of it. When I DONT SEE HER FOR A WEEK, I TRULY MISS HER BECAUSE SHE HAS SUCH A CALMING "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT" ATTITUDE THAT MISS. I WOULD HAVE HER HERE EVERY DAY IF I COULD.
Description of Work: She decorated my office, living room, family room and bathroom. I gave her very few clues as to what I wanted but when she went to hunt and gather items for me, I absolutely loved everything she brought back

I loved having Lisa Marie in my home! She was punctual, always brought the materials we had agreed upon and stayed until we were both satisfied that the job was done. She is warm and understanding of how difficult sorting and purging things can be. I highly recommend her and will call her again in the future.

Lisa Marie's talent is amazing. In a very short time,our home feels like a new happy breath of fresh air. I love that she proactively finds areas to improve with creative ideas and inexpensive organizing solutions. She clearly has the mind of a great organizer. Her professional acumen is superb, considerate and flexible. My husband and I have 2 young kids and work full time running a business and Lisa Marie was willing to work around our schedules. Plan to bring her in now and then just to help our home stay on top of life. Worth every penny!

Lisa Marie is such a wonderful spirit and a loving soul. She has such a kind personality, it's really nice to have her around. She was supportive and didn't mind doing whatever was the most helpful to me in the moment, which was a gift. She followed directions excellently (i.e. "Please put this in the abc file, in the top drawer on the right"). She also made suggestions for hard to organize things, like putting things in ziplocks, one of my favorite organizing techniques. Throughout our four hours together, she sought out the positive and complimented me, which made me feel like a champ, instead of a disorganized mess, which is how I felt before she came. :-) Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Lisa Marie came to my house and patiently helped me tie up a million loose ends that had gone unfinished in my life. Mostly, I needed help filing papers and labeling documents.

I had to submit several years worth of documentation for an important matter. It was a monumental project and I'd take 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Lisa Marie had helped me organize my house and I liked her efficiency and humility. Some organizers are judgmental and pushy… she's not. She listened to what I wanted and was easy to work with so I asked her to help me with this enormous task. In a few hours she had everything filed and cross-filed with lists on the inside cover of each file showing what yet needs to be done. Now I'm going to have her help me organize my entire office!

I recently moved from a larger home to one considerably smaller. It was absolutely overwhelming. I called Lisa Marie and in a few hours my laundry room and kitchen made perfect sense. I have far more storage and cabinet space than I realized. There is actually space between objects on the cupboard shelves and I can find things immediately. Lisa Marie doesn't roar in and overhaul the mess. She discusses placement of every item with you. She kind of partners up. You tell her what you need and she puts it together for you, describing what she's doing as she goes along. The fact is she genuinely cared about my predicament and really wanted to help me. I can't wait to have her back to help me with the closets!

My son and I cleared out my storage unit and moved it all into my garage . I thought, now what ? I called Lisa Marie and once again, she came to my rescue. First, we sorted and organized the contents of the storage unit. All my Christmas decorations are in one area and clearly labeled. My teaching materials are in clear plastic containers and I have everything I need for my class all together. My children's school work is in four boxes ( one for each child) and they have fun looking at their school work now that it is easily accessible. Books are organized by topic on metal racks. Now , I enter my garage with pleasure and not fear. Lisa Marie is multi-talented from her amazing organizational skills to her artistic prowess. She suggested beautiful ways to hang family photos and to hang my children's clay handprints. Before she comes, Lisa Marie and I have a discussion of what I need to do. She suggests what I need for storage. When she comes, we have a discussion of her plan and how it will be executed. Whenever she comes, I get a new feeling of happiness . Lisa Marie will change your life! Now, I'm off to the spa ! Call her!

I'm preparing to sell large house. I need to downsize and pack for 2 moves, a temporary and long term, at the same time. The scheduling was suddenly moved up a month so I'm under the gun. I never could have made this kind of progress without Lisa Marie. Her gracious and calming nature reassures when she walks in the door. Her "organizer's mind"sees possibilites and solves problems as a matter of course. Lisa Marie made short work of projects I've dreaded for months. Always moving but never pushy, she makes suggestions but doesn't iimpose them. She asks what you want and then makes it work. Prompt, professional and exceedingly easy to get along with, Lisa Marie tolerated my badly behaved, barking dogs without complaint. I have always assumed that hiring an organizer was cost prohibitive, but its not. You can hire her to do as much or as little as you want, her prices are reasonable and the peace of mind is entirely worth it. I recommend her highly.

It took three calls to have her return my call. When she called I told her I was interested in having some work done. I was told it was a free consultation, but then she stated that it was not. She told me that she has a minimum of 4 hours of service at $60 and hour even without knowing what the job was. Why would I want to pay $240 to have work done before we even meet or before we go over what the work is. I felt that she was not very professional. I would not use her.

(Member name removed), With all due respect, we spoke a couple of times to set up a mutually convenient time to discuss your needs. When we did have our conversation, I generously spent over 30 minutes discussing your situation and offering a variety of options that might solve your issues. My company policy is to perform a minimum of 4 hours of service after doing a complimentary on site consultation to view & prioritize the client's areas of concern. I am sorry you chose not to schedule an appointment, as all my satisfied clients have done, so that I could resolve your organizational needs. Best regards, Lisa Marie

Lisa Marie of EasyLiving4You or website of http://www.easylivingbylisamarie is phenominal. She is a professional organizer who took on our overstuffed floor to ceiling garage and in 6 hours sorted and repacked it in preparation for our move. I would highly recommend her and plan on using her services to help us organize in the new home. We had a short deadline but lots to do, and she made it all happen! Thank you Lisa!

Other than the hard choices of what to keep and what to dispose of, the experience was, on whole, very pleasant.
Description of Work: Lisa Marie helped me organize my files, including: putting things in order, throwing out un-needed papers, sorting some books, etc. Mostly she provided the discipline I needed to start the project and then follow through.
