Easy Living by Lisa Marie

Absolutely WONDERFUL.

Lisa Marie is a miracle worker. My husband gave me a gift certificate for four hours of organizing services. I figured we'd do some straightening up, but didn't think it was enough time to do anything really substantive. I was wrong. We worked on my finished garage, which was a cluttered mess that made our lives less efficient, and that I desperately wanted to clean up but was way too overwhelmed to start on. Lisa Marie was quick, efficient, decisive, and creative, and was able to quickly cut through the details that I tend to get bogged down in when doing this kind of project. She had great intuition about how to carve out different spaces that had discrete functions, and how to make the best use of things we already had. What started out as a cluttered mess that I hated going into is now a super-functional space with separate areas for all kinds of storage (each with its own space), a home office, and a work area for woodworking and craft projects. We now use it all the time, it makes our lives more efficient, and we actually enjoy going in there. And it's enabling me to get other things done that were delayed or more difficult before because of the mess. So those four hours have given us a marked and sustained bump in our quality of life. Unbelievable. Lisa Marie was also personable, fun, responsive and easy to work with. I'd love to work with her again in the future.

Lisa Marie is very warm, intuitive and practical.... I dubbed her 'Poppins' (as in Mary Poppins) that first day :) I was just coming out of a very difficult time in my life and felt overwhelmed by the mountain of tasks before me. My bedroom had been my world and was now filled to the brim with books, bills, stacks of papers, excess furniture, bursting closet, over flowing drawers and dust. Lisa Marie suggested moving some of the big furniture pieces around in a way that I hadn't thought of before. It really opened the room up! Within a few hours I had a new relaxed space with closet and drawers more organized then they'd ever been and a pile of unwanted stuff ready for donation at the front door. The guestroom came next w/ many great suggestions and efficient organizing by Poppins. She made it fun and we had some laughs. I worked through the rest of the house w/ ease , knowing Lisa was just a phone call away. I called on Lisa Marie to help me get the business side of my vacation rental together. She is much more computer savvy then I and was able to problem solve and get me up and running online. We had a lot of fun putting the final touches on the rentals and staging them. The pictures she took of them are beautiful!! I am so very grateful to have met Lisa Marie 'Poppins' and highly recommend her services to anyone :)

I felt she was a housewife who likes to empty closets and drawers and found a way to do it for a living. There was no thought behind anything. She was late several times. She wanted cash and her receipt was a hand written piece of paper with no contact information, phone or address what so ever.she is a nice person. She is an honest person. But hire her knowing that your closets might look good for in-laws visiting, it's only temporary.

It was a wonderful experience and I am so happy to have met Lisa-Marie.

Lisa Marie took a cluttered uncomfortable space and created a functional and welcoming office/guest room space. Starting in the closet she completely rearranged the space. Items in the closet that get used are easy to access and while those items which are rarely used are neatly tucked away. She organized bookshelves so that items are accessible as well as neatly displayed. She worked continuously for 4 hours and we accomplished nearly everything that was needed. (I have some additional filing to take care of, but with a better system in place.) She is easy to work with and has lots of suggestions for how to better use space.

I would highly recommend her to anybody! She worked with the things that I already had and didn't suggest that I had to buy anything extra. She didn't need any extra direction and took initiative. SHe was very nice, pleasant and helpful to work with. She was also not judgmental. We initally sat down and we made a plan and she was very methodical. I really liked that she follows up by texting me within a couple of months to see if I need her help again.

I am a kindergaren teacher (new to the grade) with a mound of new work to be organized. My workroom was stacked with papers and pending projects for my kinder kids. Once again Lisa Marie came in, went to work and by the end of the day my work space was clear, complete with organizers for post-its, tape, etc. The papers are stored in plastic bins each marked with the appropriate day of the week for that work. Lisa Maria's suggestions are always on target. It is amazing to watch her magic as she creates organized space out of a daunting pile of papers, etc. I can't wait for our next meeting. We spent time sorting papers, tossing , and creating a comfortable and workable space. I cannot say enough. Lisa Marie is fun to work with and makes getting organized fun.

My house was a mess after a recent move to a smaller house. I needed a home office and Lisa Marie came and created anamazing space. We talked for about 45 minutes and she was able to work out a plan. We immediately tackled my files which were in total chaos. By the end of the session, my files were in order, old papers were tossed and I had a great sense of relief. We went online and ordered a desk that would fit my needs. When it I arrived , I couldn't wait to call Lisa Marie. She came over put all my files in the desk, organized all the drawers , helped me with decorating ideas. A few weeks later, I started work. Ann Marie new my garage was a disaster, so I left her my key and when I came from work I opened the garage door and I couldn't believe what I saw. I was thrilled ! I could even fit my car in.I don't know how she does what she does, but it's truly amazing. Lisa Marie is very kind and so competent. Tomorrow she is coming back for round 4!. I can't wait!. You will be happy you contacted Easy Living By Lisa Marie.

She does maintenance of things for me on an ongoing regular basis; it is not just fixing things that are in disarray. She is efficient and patient. She is current with my family business related matters. She is good at putting systems in place where there are none. She is also proactive and easy to get along with. She is just amazing. She charges per hour and seems to be reasonably priced. I don't have anything to compare her prices with, but I get my money’s worth.

She had terrific ideas, was extremely friendly and thorough, and worked very quickly. In just 4 hours she helped us turn a virtually unusable space into a wonderfully organized, airy, and open indoor/outdoor space that we now really enjoy.

Lisa Marie was professional, personal, reliable and very helpful. She has been helpful in the past and will be utilized again in the future.

Lisa Marie was the perfect combination of organizational ability, creativity, industriousness and understanding. She is punctual, hardworking, supportive and easy to work with and I highly recommend her. I plan to continue to utilize Lisa Marie’s organizing services to keep me organized. I always feel better after she has worked her magic!

Lisa was great! She arrived on time and in about half a day as we had discussed over the phone we got through pretty much everything, leaving me with just some remedial filing and a very manageable stack of files to deal with. All other important paperwork was identified and put in its place. Everything else was either discarded or shredded (I have my own home office shredder) and I got back at least half of my closet space along with a clear floor and organized desktop and book shelves. Lisa was a pleasure to work with -- persistent in getting things properly grouped, asking the right questions about items, careful and respectful about things that appeared to be private or personal and helping everywhere whether it was shredding, stacking, or filing and offering her own useful tips and suggestions in a friendly and collaborative manner while taking into account my own needs and objectives for the room. With my desktop and room cleared I find myself spending more time, more productively, in my newly organized space.

I have had Lisa at my home a number of times and she quickly sized up the areas that were most out of control and dived into them with me beside her. She always checked with me before she moved anything or rearranged anything. I cannot recommend her enough!

Lisa started with the obvious by suggesting things to move out and then re-arranging for a cleaner look. She did this systematically throughout the job.

Everything went very well. Lisa Marie was punctual and professional, made trips to Goodwill to donate items, purchased stoarge baskets and bins on her own initiative, and organized our home beautifully. The labels in the linen closet and other areas ensure that our houskeeper keeps properly sized linens, sheets, pillowcases, etc. stored in the proper places. We are now finding (and using) things we had forgotten for years, and have a clean, peaceful environment. This is a luxury, to be sure, but one that we enjoy every day.

I elected to hire Lisa Marie on a weekly basis as her service is truly invaluable to my success.

I would highly recommend Lisa Marie to anyone who wants help moving into and organizing a new home or apartment. I moved from Indianapolis, Indiana to Santa Monica California and Lisa Marie helped me every step along the way. Lisa Marie made moving across the country so much easier and less stressful for me because of her attention to detail, friendly service and hard work ethic. Any question or request I had, she answered promptly and with a smile on her face. It was so wonderful when I arrived at my new apartment, and she had made sure everything was already moved in, organized and unpacked. She also fixed my bike, got my cable and Internet working, and put fresh groceries in my refrigerator. She made the apartment look beautiful, too! She met the movers when they arrived and organized my furniture, hung my pictures, folded my clothes and organized my closet. She was extremely professional, pro-active and friendly from start to finish. Overall, Lisa Marie did a fantastic job!

Lisa Marie has a very sweet demeanor, but is also "no-nonsense". In a very friendly, non-judgmental way, she will ask permission to dig into a pile of papers, for example, and will quickly make order of it. She also has a sense of humor, which is a good thing since one might feel a little ashamed while old stuff is finally being taken care of.
