Organizing & Design FAQs

I do light cleaning as part of the process to ensure the space is completely refreshed. Deep cleaning is an additional fee as it uses valuable decluttering and organizing time which is charged at a higher rate. Some clients like to work alongside me and do the cleaning part or I can bring in a cleaning colleague. 

I do not. My catalogues are designed by room and specific product styles and my goal is not to overwhelm you. In our initial consultation we review examples of the type of designs you like. I then curate a plan for you, that you approve. Pinterest and Home & Lifestyle sites can be a great source of inspiration and to get clear idea of the look you want. Martha Stewart, Better Homes & Gardens, House Beautiful, Houzz Stories, and HGTV, etc.

Depending on where I am sourcing your products from can have an impact on your timeline. Organizations like Target and Amazon have a quick turnaround time, ordering from sites like Houzz, Etsy, and the like can take up to a month. For stores I visit in-person, like Home Goods, The Dollar Store, and specialty stores, I plan that time carefully for efficiency and optimizing your spend on the project. 

Yes! Ideally, I focus on specific spaces that I already have what I need. It is important to me that you quickly feel the value your investment and moving towards achieving your goal. 

Bringing functionality to your space, as well as getting to those items you've been meaning to do, like hanging pictures, shelves, etc. are all within the scope of work I do. I am very handy, having renovated a number of homes myself. I bring my own tools.

Areas I can address include the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, closets, living spaces, bedrooms, basement, and garages. Many clients also seek help with room design, such as placement of furniture and decor. And yes, I can put together Ikea furniture.
