Being a Professional Organizer and Home Stager can be challenging at times. It's still a fairly "new" industry- even with HGTV's Show's, people still ask "what do you do?" A lot of people don't watch decorating shows so it's my job to get the word out.
Every Professional Organizer/Home Stager is different, different skill level, different personalities, different technic.
What sets me apart from the rest:
- Experience-(officially started nolaclutterbusters in 1995- unofficially I have been an "organizer" ...... my whole life.)
- Longevity- I've seen many other "organizers" come and go- my clients can count on me to assist them in future projects to come. Some of my clients I have had for 10 years, organizing everything down to their underwear drawer.
- Furniture Placement- I don't just "organize" - I space plan your home according to how it "reads" with your things in it.
- Confidentiality- your "clutter secrets" are safe with me. Though I do need to talk about what I do to other clients I never talk specifically by name, to anyone.
- Follow thru- I offer the Full Service, which means, if you are moving, I can Pack up, help you delete the items that aren't necessary in your new home, space plan your new home , and unpack you in the new space. Stress free!
- Artist input- Do you have a piece of furniture that you love but the color just doesn't "fit" in your space- I can paint it!
- Color consultation- Do you feel like you want to kick it up a knotch with your space- paint it!
- Renovations- Need help/suggestions- I can help- Preparation is key. Many of my clients over the years have ask for my assistance, I have done many cosmetic improvements- or helped with the design process. Whether that is choosing paint color, cabinets, closet systems.
- Closet Design- I worked for years with a custom closet company, and through that I learned how to space plan very small spaces and make them very functional. Though I don't offer installation I can help you figure out what company would best fit your needs.
- Wardrobe Consultation- With a degree in Fashion Design, I can help you get your wardrobe to say what you want to say to the world. Are you changing careers, Just entering the job market? I may not be Tim Gunn, but I can still "Make it work!"
- Sense of Humor- This is key, I love what I do, and it shows! I change peoples lives, help them find themselves sometimes in the pile of rubble around them, I don't judge, I just help, through humor. The client can get quite overwhelmed during the "de-cluttering " process- I talk with them and laugh with them making the process more bare-able. I realize it isn't a fun situation and they have been procrastinating it sometimes for years. Last week I de-cluttered a space that had 30 years of clutter and on top of that Katrina mess/construction dust all over it. I managed to clean it up in two 4 hour visits. That client was so moved by the process- she couldn't believe her eyes- she finally had her space back, and can now move forward with her life.
- Speed- I am so fast at what I do. Why? because I do it all the time. What would take you 4 weekends in a row- I could do in a visit or two.
- Transport Donations- I can bring all your deleted items to your favorite charity. No one else does that. I pride myself in being a "green" company and with that whatever can be passed on, instead of going into the landfill- I'll do it.
So there you have it- this is just some of the things that I do to help my clients, improve their homes, which in turn improves their lives. I see change happen with my clients through design and creating a more functional space. A few clients have said that they fired their therapist...I don't know if that is true or not, but it sure is a compliment.
