This is totally normal and understandable. You are taking a big step in having a new person in your home. However, It’s not uncommon for our clients to say “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” or “Wow, that wasn’t so bad!” You’ll see as soon as you open your door how friendly and non-judgmental we are.
No, absolutely not. Home is a personal space and it’s normal to ask this question. However, comparing one person’s lifestyle to another person’s lifestyle is not productive. We are all unique and our homes are special in their own way.
We offer a customized approach when it comes to products. If you already have products that could be repurposed, we will do our best to use them. However, if you prioritize aesthetics and want all your products to look coordinated and curated, we can get new products that match your preferences. With our vast experience with products, we know exactly where to get what you need. We will work closely with you to place your order and have the products shipped to your home. We will also schedule our session dates based on the delivery date of the order.
There are so many options to choose from it can be overwhelming. But we are here to help you make decisions that best suit your budget and lifestyle. Whether it’s buying a shelving unit, getting a custom closet installed, or installing pull-out drawers in an existing cabinet we know what/who to recommend.

Yes! When you are planning a renovation, we can offer you our assistance in numerous ways. A renovation is like a move. We can assist with decluttering so you aren’t storing/packing items you won’t need later. If you plan on living elsewhere while the renovation takes place, we can help you prepare and pack your belongings. Moreover, we can create a detailed inventory of items that will be in storage so that you can easily access them when required. We can also book hauling, storage, or pod delivery services for you and ensure that you have enough space to store all your items. In addition to that, we can collaborate with your designer and builder to assist them in understanding your organizational needs and ensure that your updated home has sufficient storage space. This becomes particularly helpful when renovating kitchens!
Yes! It’s a great idea to declutter before you move. This way, you won’t have to pay to move items that you no longer need or want. We can also help you plan your new home systems, pack your items, and unpack everything at your new home. By working with you in advance of the move, we can get to know your needs and wants and be a second set of eyes and hands to make sure that your move is quick and easy.
