It was wonderful. She was excellent. I have used her in the past, her fee has gone up but it was worth it. I was very stressed out with the upcoming kitchen and laundry room remodel. Christine helped me sort everything. We put it into pile, things that I would need, things I would not need, and things I would want to donate. She put it into boxes for me and labeled it. The things I would be using, she put on top. The things I wanted to donate she put away. It was such a relief to have all these things done in a day.

I am still working with Christine to unpack and organize my new living space. She has a good eye for where things should go to make them more functional and efficient. It’s nice to have someone else’s opinion. If I don’t want to take her suggestion she doesn’t make me feel like it had to have been decided her way. I feel so fortunate I received her name as a reference to work with. It has been a good working relationship. I would wholeheartedly refer her to any of my friends or family.
Description of Work: I needed help with decluttering and organizing the belongings I had in my townhome prior to listing my house for sale. My home had been previously owned by my parents so there were considerable items left by them which I had to sort through as well as my own belongings. Christine made a great effort in helping me decide how to approach the task as it was monumental. There were several days when I couldn’t quite get out of bed and she went right ahead and worked without me whip asking me for guidance along the way. I couldn’t of made it through this phase of preparation without her help.

Christine is AMAZING. You never feel judged, only validated and supported. She works so fast, has great ideas for organizing everything that makes it easy to access. She takes away all of the hardest parts of having to do these jobs. She helps think for you, sets you up so that sorting, if necessary, is super easy. She will also do all of the sorting for you if that is easier. Which sometimes for me, I needed that. She takes away your donations for you and gives them to wonderful organizations. She helps get private documents shredded safely and securely. I can’t say enough good about her and the work she does. I’m addicted to Christine’s help and don’t want to do projects without her!
Description of Work: Our basement was the dumping ground for the culmination of 40 years of our lives as well as all the “must keeps” for an 8 year-old. Needless to say, you could barely walk through the space. Christine spent three days with me going through everything. Seriously, everything.

Great! It is a work in progress. We have been going through the rooms in our house over the last few years. Christine is super fast at sorting the items so I can go through them. It is much easier to make decisions when looking at groups of similar items. She is non judgmental and is willing to do the recycling and donations for me. She puts everything away before she leaves so I don't have a pile of stuff to go through later.

I screamed in sheer awe when I went downstairs to my basement seeing how Christine transformed it. I honestly could not believe it was the same space I had left 6 hours earlier. It went better than I could have imagined. Christine also got my kitchen de-cluttered and organized and it looked twice the size when she was done... she truly has a gift.
Description of Work: I had to get my house for sale and on the market very quickly and needed a lot of help organizing and staging and discarding.

My (now) wife and I hired Christine after I sold my house. We had way too much stuff and not even close to enough space. At the time, we were wedding planning, dealing with serious health issues and raising a toddler. Boxes were everywhere, and we were in a crisis. We knew that we needed a long term solution and that it would be a series of help-sessions from a professional to get us to where we want to be. Christine unpacked the boxes and created space through organization that allowed us to have our home back. She helped us through the crisis, and we look forward to continuing to work with her. She turned a cluttered and crammed small storage space into a neatly organized and spacious place, allowing us to enjoy ourselves and the space more. She unpacked and decluttered the garage. She suggested a special area be set-up for our toddler which only became possible after organization. We are at the beginning of getting organized, and we are happy and grateful to have found Christine to help us get our home in the condition we want.

GREAT! Christine helped organize and purge several areas of our home after a remodeling project - bedroom (AKA dumping ground for everything), basement, garage (AKA dumping ground #2 for everything else). She was very efficient and kept me in the loop as she was working through an area. She didn't pressure me to get rid of anything but did 'talk me through' my reasons for wanting to keep something. Many times I decided to let it go, sometimes I decided to keep something. She never judged me and assured me that she would find a good home for the item. At the end of our appointments, she would take any donate items with her - which was great because if she didn't, I would manage to 're-shop' my own stuff before I could get it to the Good Will. At our next appointment, Christine would have a donation slip, pictures and/or a list of where my items went - Bridging, someone from NextDoor, etc. I would love to have her back to give our family an 'annual tune-up' and help keep the clutter down! Definitely recommend!!

It actually went extremely well. Christine is very pleasant and she comes to organizing with a history in the Arts as well so many of her ideas were aesthetically pleasing. A bonus was her willingness to leave the house with items that could be recycled or donated so they were not piling up in my garage. She utilizes resources in the community very well to recycle things that have other uses. I do not think she overcharges but it was hard for me to justify using her services as much as I actually needed because of the cost. In spite of that I will use her services again, because I believe in truth you do get what you pay for, and I trusted the quality of her work and her professional demeanor.

I could not have done my move without Christine. She is very efficient and clear. She would check in with me to determine which items I wanted to keep and listened to what I wanted to accomplish.
Description of Work: Christine helped me organize my house for a move and organize my father's house so I could move in there. She also helped me pack and unpack. She also helped me make room in the garage for my car and set up a system for keeping myself organized down the road.

Christine is always prompt, professional, and she looks at my space with energy and excitement. (Usually I'm feeling a fair amount of dread-shame-you name it - but it is never energy or excitement!) Two pairs of hands make for much quicker work and you can learn the process - the solutions are always clever. I also appreciate the care she shows, both with how she looks at my systems (she is able to place herself in my shoes and discern how I view it so she can help with setting up a space) and simply handling objects. At the same time, she's really fast.
Description of Work: I've had Christine out to work in my home on numerous occasions! It started with a storage unit filled with boxes of old papers - I wanted to take these papers, which represented years and years of writing and unfinished projects and create a blissful creative work space. We worked through those boxes and that lead to many other home projects - one favorite was prepping for new carpet. Christine came to our 1200 square foot townhome and we packed everything into one area so they could do the floors in one day. The way her mind works is amazing! My husband was amazed - if I had had to do it on my own, it would not have been completed. When the time came to stage our town house to sell, we didn't hesitate to call Christine. I'm down to the last of the boxes in our new house and running out of steam - I'm actually about to call her ...

A Godsend. I cannot recommend Christine enough. The work she has done for us saved us countless hours of organizing. Her assistance with our move decreased our stress level beyond measure. Our new home has become an uncluttered, well set up space thanks to her. Our filing system is a work of art, our closets, playroom and common areas are calming to walk into and free of junk. The best money spent. She is truly amazing.

Christine is amazing! She made sense of so many tools that were a scattered mess. She was always o-n time, smart, creative, and she organized things in such a pretty and logical manner. Would definitely hire her again for another project.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoy projects like this! Finding all the tools, organizing them, and giving them homes where they will be easy to access and to put-away, was a pleasure. Although the rest of your home looked absolutely lovely and perfectly organized, I hope there is an excuse to hire me again! Thank you!

Christine provided everything I wanted, everything I needed to get organized -- and more. She went beyond consistently what was expected.
Description of Work: My house seriously lacked organization -- after 38 years at the same address. Christine was enthusiastic, considerate, very patient, detail-oriented and provided many useful suggestions. She went out of her way to make sure that everything went just right.

She was great. She knew right away that I had already figured out what I would be keeping, so there wasn't any dithering or hemming & hawing on my part. She even saved some personal mementos from being shredded, when she came back a few days later for the "final pickup". I definitely would hire her again, and would recommend her services to friends.
Description of Work: Christine helped me declutter, and then hauled away several bags & boxes of donations/trash, and a few pieces of furniture. She brought the donations to Salvation Army and Tech Dump, and dealt with a couple bags of shredding, too.

Christine has helped me with a number of projects. She first helped me with office organization. That was a biggie. I never really knew what I had to keep and what I could toss with regard to financial papers, warranties, tax and investment papers etc so I kept everything! I was so overwhelmed. We worked steadily together and categorized things a little differently so I could actually find what I needed and ended up tossing bag after bag of papers. In the kitchen, I had bookcases that housed my kids play bins and games in addition to my dog items and that is now way better for me and the kids. The bathroom was another story. You know how you buy a product hoping it is the right moisturizer or shampoo and for one reason or another, it's not right for you? It is for somebody and Christine knows a lot about recycling and where to distribute those kind of items so you don't feel like you are throwing money down the drain. Plus, she will even get you a donation receipt for your charitable donations. Closets, kind of the same thing. Knows where to take things and she removes them when she leaves so you don't have stuff hanging around in another closet until you get around to taking it to the donation sites. Garage was huge too. I didn't know what half the stuff was in my garage, left over from kids and ex-husbands. She knew just where to take things, what I might be able to sell, and what would be best to donate or trash. I had 25 years of STUFF! She also helped my Mom sort through her photos for her 90th birthday party. That's a lot of photos! We were doing a photo presentation and that was a great service. I know that she also does estate clearing for people and think she would be the call that you'd never regret. Also she loves dogs so didn't have to lock them away for "company." Big plus for me.
