Everyone has some type of clutter. Maybe your clutter is in the bedroom closet tucked away out of sight. Maybe your clutter is in the kitchen on full display. Maybe your clutter is the mental stress of decision making related to downsizing or dealing with life transitions. Clutter is anything that gets in the way of you living your best life. The good news is that you do not have to figure out how to declutter your home on your own! Making Space Within is here to help combat clutter and disorganization with realistic solutions for real people.
Imagine a life with less stress and frustration - what wonderful things would you have the time and space for?
At Making Space Within we draw from decades of home organization experience and a variety of proven organizing approaches to customize a plan of action that fits your unique needs. We remain patient, respectful, non-judgmental, and always maintain confidentiality.
Let's talk about your project and your goals during a free 30 minute consultation!
The size and scope of home organization projects vary depending on each client's unique situation and personal goals. By having an initial phone call, video call, or home visit we can provide a project estimate that fits your budget and your needs.
From the biggest room in the house to the smallest under sink cabinet, there is opportunity to make it a functional space that you enjoy interacting with. We will work with you to set up home organization systems that fit your lifestyle.
When working on each area or category in your home we:
1) Gather - we group all like with like so that you can make informed decisions
2) Sort - we guide you through your process of deciding what to keep, toss, donate, or sell
3) Design - we configure remaining items to the space in a way that is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing
Are you getting ready for a move from a large home into a smaller space? It is likely you can’t (or don’t want to) take it all with you. Making the tough choices when downsizing can be stressful. We are here to help the transition be as smooth as possible as you say goodbye to the past and hello to the future.
"I'm saving this important stuff for my kids to have when I am gone" - This is a common and reasonable thought to have when deciding what to keep. However, unless you have documented the meaningful stories and memories tied to those possessions it becomes just more "stuff" for your loved ones to deal with. We can work with you to capture the stories and the meaning behind your treasured heirlooms so that you leave a lasting legacy.
Life is busy, and the daily demands of work and family activities can be stressful. Perhaps you find yourself saying "If only I had more time!" Guess what? You can!
Let us help you identify ways to save time and find more flow in your daily routines. Your household processes should set you up for success, not stress. We have the solutions you need!
Are you overwhelmed by a mountain of important (and not so important) papers? Are you confused by what you should keep and for how long? Do you know where all of your important documents are?
Did you know that credit card companies collect about $12 Billion a year in late fees alone?! Prior research has shown that about 23% of people pay bills late only because they can’t find the bill. Let’s make sure you are not counted in that statistic!
Each home visit includes free removal of one car load of items for donation. We can also advise on practical approaches for items you wish to sell, and help arrange other vendors for pick up of larger items that need to be hauled away.
Making space isn't necessarily about having a uniform row of matching bins. The majority of your home organization projects can be accomplished with the supplies you already have. However, if you want or need specific storage solutions for your project we are ready to recommend and shop for the items that will be the perfect fit for you.
We arrive ready to work with basic supplies such as trash bags, temporary boxes for sorting, labeling materials, and tools for small projects (scissors, tape, hammer, nails, drill, screws).
We can work together virtually to tackle your projects! Through video and phone calls we can help you identify your goals, create a plan of action, and support you through each step of the process. Virtual work sessions are available for a wide range of hours.
