The dream of a lovely, organized home, with everything in its place…
You’ve tried, but organizing just doesn’t come naturally to you.
(Or maybe you USED to be organized… until the kids came along!)
You just got done with ANOTHER argument with your spouse about the clutter
Tupperware lids fall out on your head when you open the cabinet (because that’s JUST what you need first thing in the morning…)
And you’ve watched way too many organizing videos on Youtube, but nothing seems to stick.
In just a few organizing sessions, we can solve problems that have been entrenched for years and create easily maintainable systems for your whole home.
And the best part?
It’ll all be designed beautifully!
With Pinterest-worthy styling you’ll WANT to keep organized (and show off!)
“I had been complaining about my messy room for three years.
After three sessions Lindsay left me with a beautiful room where all my clothes and shoes are organized and where all my papers are filed and my desktop is clean. She has wonderful ideas about color coding and labeling which make it a joy to enter the room and use my things. Yay, Lindsay!”

our process
01
CONSULTATION
You’ll schedule online & fill out the prep form emailed to you. I come to your home and we take 45 minutes to walk through your space, answer your questions, decide which package would be best to accomplish your goals, and create a plan. Most clients say they already feel better after just meeting for a consult!
02
SORT
Each 4–7 hour session focuses on one room. We’ll pull everything out of cabinets, shelves, or closets (it gets worse before it gets better!) and sort into categories. We’re lightning fast at this! Seeing everything out will give you a better understanding of what you own, and allows us to reimagine the space’s form & function.
03
EDIT
Time for your main job – one category at a time, pruning down your things to only what you love & use! I’ll be there to coach you through any questions & mental blocks you come up against, with patience, no judgment, and the exact amount of ‘nudge’ that you need to make decisions.
04
ORGANIZE
Once we have a blank slate & we see what items remain, we’ll put things back & craft a system to make the space function better. According to your preferences, we can use what you already own as much as possible, or shop for new bins, dividers and space-saving solutions.
05
DESIGN
(Meaning organization, not interiors) After taking measurements & discussing your preferred styles for any supplies needed, I’ll source products, submit orders for your approval, and pick everything up. Next session we implement the products, label bins, and make final adjustments. These detail-oriented touches help the solutions last because you’ll want to keep them organized!
06
MAINTENANCE
Our clients fall into 2 camps: ones who know that once they have a system they’ll keep it up or ones who know they need touch-ups to keep them on track! Most packages include maintenance hours to help protect your investment. After your project we’ll also send you a feedback form + before & after photos you can show off!
“Lindsay is in a league of her own.
Our 3BR, 2 1/2 BA condo has been such a disaster, that since my wife and I moved in with our 2 small kids this spring we hardly ever had people over.
Lindsay was able to see simple, workable solutions to problems we have had for months within minutes...The more work we do on this the more I realize her ideas are brilliant!”
– KELLY, Carrboro

When you work with us, you’re starting a trusting, collaborative relationship with a professional team who will go above & beyond to create the perfect solutions for your home, top to bottom.

In-home organizing sessions with 1–3 organizers
(4-7 hours each)Product planning
(Sourcing organizing products, drawing layouts, etc)Supply shopping & returns
Donation drop-offs
Specialized recycling drop-off
(plastic bags, e-waste, wire hangers, and more)
Packages starting at $500-$2,500 per room
"I had spent hundreds of dollars on various containers and at least 100 hours trying to make sense of the sea of stuff I had accumulated in a studio NYC apartment.
Lindsay went through and helped me break apart what was actually here, and sorted things in a way that brought so much clarity to every nook and cranny…
For the first time in a long time, I know what's in my own apartment and where it is.”
– JEREMY, Brooklyn
Is our process right for you?
There’s a seat for every bum, as they say! After 6 years of experience, here’s a breakdown of the type of clients who benefit most (or least) from our organizing style.
We may be a good fit if you…
Have a strong vision for your home being organized, and have goals for how you want to use the space once it’s set up.
Can communicate your design preference, and know what aesthetics you like & don’t like.
Are already investing time & money into your home, or are ready to start.
Want eco-consciousness from your organizer (for instance, in the type of products we buy, or how we dispose of things).
Are passionate about nature, pets, music, or art… We love working with creatives!
We may not be a good fit if…
Your primary concern is major clutter reduction, and you don’t want us to set systems up.
Spending more than a few hundred dollars or finding more than a few hours to work on your home right now would be a major stress point.
Your partner or family member wants to be involved in the organizing process, but there is conflict when attempts are made.
You prefer phone communication, rather than online forms & emails.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What areas can you work on?
We're experts in tackling these types of areas:
HOME ORGANIZATION + DESIGN: Kitchen · Pantry · Cabinets · Junk Drawers · Bedroom · Closets · Clothing · Kids Room · Bathroom · Garage · Storage Space · Filing System · Paper Management
MOVES: Pre-move Purging · Unpacking · Post-move Setup
How soon can I book a session?
We are typically booked about 2-4 weeks out, but can sometimes accommodate time-sensitive projects (send us a message here if that’s you!). Appointments are available 10am-8pm Monday–Saturday.
What are your rates?
Our initial 90-minute in-home assessment will be $150, then you'll work with the lead organizer to choose a package that meets your project goals. Our organizing packages range from $500–$11,000, and package hours can be used towards both product planning and in-home organizing sessions.
Depending on the size of their home and the level of detail they’d like, clients looking to organize their home from top to bottom typically plan on an investment of $3,000–$15,000 for our team’s services, and can communicate with us what budget range for organizing products they’d like to work within. Our in-home sessions also include bonuses like complimentary donation drop-offs, complimentary organizing supply pickups & returns, and access to trade discounts at stores like Container Store & Pottery Barn!
How much can we get done in one session?
VERY generally – one or two sessions per large room, or a few smaller closets in one session. Because the process is dependent on our beloved clients’ decision-making speed, the types of things to be organized (e.g. papers vs. clothes), and the density of clutter, we can’t quote spaces exactly. But we are as fast as workers as you can find! We HAVE been dubbed the Energizer Bunny more than once, and described as "a force of nature"...
Do you do...
...packing?
We’re more into helping you downsize and prepare for a move, saving you money because you’ll have to move less stuff! The best investment would be having pro movers do the packing, and then having us unpack + organize in your new space.
...unpacking?
Yes! Start out on the right foot by finding a home for everything and make sure ALL those pesky boxes get unpacked. Ask about our full-day unpack sessions with 3 organizers!
...closet design?
Negative, but we’ll help you make the best use of that sparkly new investment! We recommend TCS Closets or California Closets for luxury feel, or Easy Closets or IKEA for budget-friendly DIY. Schedule a consultation here and we’ll prepare to bring in a team to organize the new closet to perfection!
...filing?
Certainly!
...cleaning?
Not our wheelhouse. But cleaning will be SO much easier after we’re done (clear floors & counters, what!?).
...businesses?
We'll organize an individual client's work office, but we don't specialize in serving corporate clients.
Do you offer recurring services?
Every system needs a certain amount of upkeep in order to last – whether it’s seasonal clothing rotation, holiday organizing, updating systems, basic tidying, or reorganization of high-traffic areas. Many clients find that with the busyness of their lives, ongoing touch-ups are helpful to keep order in the home! We offer quarterly, bi-monthly, monthly, or twice-monthly maintenance packages.
Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes! If that special someone has been aching for help getting that one crazy room in order, we can send you a gift voucher. These are popular for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christmas. However it's very important that the recipient has expressed interest and openness to having outside help! The process will only be worth the investment when someone is 100% onboard.
I’m so embarrassed, I never let anyone see my mess! Is mine the worst you’ve ever seen??
Absolutely not! And you are not the only one to worry that you’re “just like that TV show!” If you are willing to reach out for help, then it’s 99.9% likely that you are not a "hoarder." Everyone has their own area of "mental block" making it difficult to let go of things holding them back. We NEVER judge your process; we never judge your space; we will never force you to get rid of something; we practice 100% confidentiality regarding your situation; and we compassionately support you in making the steps YOU are ready to make.
How do I prepare for your visit – is there anything I need to get in advance?
Before our session we'll email you a few simple things (think: trash bags) that would be helpful to have on hand. If we're working with your clothes, do laundry first; if we're organizing a kitchen have the dishes done. Otherwise, it's most helpful to see your space as it is on a day-to-day basis!
Do I need to be there?
Yes (and sometimes no)! We're clearing out the things that don't serve you, and making space for your home to reflect your values & passions... see the consistent word there? :) We need your input for what is trash or treasure and to know how you'll use the space, and we'll make the best use of time working side-by-side. But, if necessary, you can flow in and out: we can sort items to prepare for you to swoop in and make decisions, and we can implement storage solutions independently. We also offer maintenance visits, which can require less involvement from you.
Do you travel?
North Carolina is our home base and we work regularly in New York City. So far we have also served clients in New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, and California! For inquiries outside of the Raleigh-Durham area or NYC (accessible by public transit), please message us directly to discuss your project.
“I cried. Lindsay made me cry.
She made my son's room so functional...I'm getting teary eyed writing this. His room was a disaster only a toddler could create. Now, months later, he still keeps his toys (relatively!) organized on his own.”
