"SYNOPSIS: I had a great experience using the services of Creative Spaces NW. Over many months, owner Nathalie did a tremendous job organizing a huge amount of household furniture and personal possessions for an estate sale. ------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FULL STORY for the few folks fond of the finer details: The death of my and my sibling’s parents in 2016 necessitated the selling of their house in Vancouver, Washington. As this was their ninth home since they were married in 1957 and they had had five children, their last abode had accumulated a truly massive amount of “stuff”. (It’s unfortunate that it so frequently takes incidents such as these to help one realize the enormity of material goods we collect through the years—much of which is necessary for neither happiness nor survival.) It was determined that an estate sale, followed by the selling of the house would be the best course of action—but the task of classifying, consolidating, and coordinating this colossus of stuff was beyond the means of the four of us remaining progenies of our parents, even with the competencies of colleagues, comrades, companions, cousins, and aunts & uncles (though they all contributed commendably). Fortunately, the significant other of my local brother had been employing the services of Nathalie Carroll, owner of Creative Spaces NW right there in Vancouver for many months previous and had quite exemplary things to say about her and her work. After interviewing Nathalie and several established professionals in the Estate Disposition field, we decided to hire Nathalie—even though she had had no previous experience in this endeavor—with the understanding that it was to be a learning experience for her but in exchange we would be charged a significantly reduced fee. It was crucial to have as point a logical mind from outside the family unfettered by our sentimentality yet simultaneously sympathetic to our needs. Over the next few months as we, the siblings and significant others were trying to figure out what possessions to keep, distribute, and sell, Nathalie dependably came twice a week and spent many hours helping us figure out what to do, engaging in monumental transporting and organizing of the aforementioned “stuff”. As we approached the date of the estate sale and as we better determined what we wanted, Nathalie spent more and more time preparing and planning the place. (The holdups we had were because we, the siblings & S.O.s, had a bit of a difficult time figuring out what we wanted done. The emotions in mourning are not conducive to rational thought.) As I was living in the house at the time, I had the most contact with Nathalie for this undertaking and had the (at least) semiweekly privilege and pleasure of racking her brain regarding the organization and strategies for disposition of our ungodly amount of “stuff”. I say with no equivocation that Nathalie’s natural and learned talents are quite commendable. Her work ethic, energy level, and agreeable personality enable me to recommend her with high praise. Nathalie was in charge of and worked the multi-day estate sale and sold thousands of dollars’ worth of our stuff…errr…treasures. She was instrumental in all aspects of the process, from researching the value of rare items to cutting our lawn to dealing with buyers outside of the sale to cleaning up the remaining mess. (The house was actually bought by a person who saw it while it was in the process of being organized for the estate sale.) For not just “simple” organizing but, I believe, anything Nathalie sets her mind to do, the job will most certainly be done with practicality, finesse, and competency by a most capable human being. # # #"
