Simplified Living and Organizing

Very easy to work with, she honestly wants you to be happy with your space. She bring a positive vibe to the project.

When we moved into our new house a year ago, one of the small bedrooms became my office. It had three bookcases, a large desk, a file cabinet and a bench. It also had 35 boxes from the moveâ mostly papers and craft supplies, some books and pictures and a couple of boxes of knick-knacks. Did I say it was a very small bedroom? It was stuffed. I fitted out the closet with shelves and shoved most of the boxes there. I bought a couple of packs of cheap cardboard magazine holders and started sorting and purging the boxes of papers. It was mind-numbing. After a year I was left with about 13 boxes of stuff and decided I didnâ t want to take another year to go through them. I also didnâ t want to store boxes in the garage. Everything I had needed to have a place and purpose. Lori came to give me an estimated and told me that we could get a lot done in 5 hours. The next Sunday, we went to work. We went through all the boxes and she organized them into the closet shelves. Working with Lori was great. Itâ s like having your best friend help you. But this is your organized, non-judgmental, hard-working friend who knows just how to tackle the job efficiently with a plan and common sense. She even brought her own dusting cloth and spray to wipe down all surfaces. By the end of the session, we got rid of one bookcase, which she moved to the garage. She also put the recyclables in the bin and took away the items to donate. The following Sunday, we tackled the file cabinet and papers. This was the most difficult part for me, and Lori helped me to decide what to purge and what to keep. At the end of around 8 hours, another bookshelf was gone, too. She rearranged the room to be much more peaceful. I still have some of the magazine holders and a couple of boxes to sort and purge, but now thereâ s a place for what I want to keep. Current files are easily accessible in the file cabinet. The desk is clear, and everything else has a home. Itâ s amazing timing. The next week, my company required us to work from home because of the coronavirus. Without the transformation, it would have been additional stress working in the clutter. Instead, thanks to Lori, I can be productive and even enjoy working in my new office.

I found her very easy to work with. She is good about taking your own way of doing things into consideration through the project.
