I get it – you want less chaos, more quality time with your family or doing the things you love…
PERSONAL STRESS
It’s overwhelming to think about tackling the piles, you don’t know where to start, and now you realize that the mess is keeping you from actually LIVING the life you want to live.
FAMILY STRESS
Between arguments about the clutter, chaotic mornings where you can’t find what you need, and worrying that you’re passing on the disorganization-gene to the kids (nooo!)… Who needs all that anxiety?!
And it’s not for lack of trying!
But after the 54th Youtube video, and another “system” that fell apart, why keep attempting what doesn’t work?
“I had been so overwhelmed in our townhome trying to make our closet space work for me and my fiancé.
Lindsay works magic. She came, helped pull everything out and created His and Her spaces using what we had. Everything is accessible, in its place and the system WORKS.
Absolutely worth every penny + every minute because she takes all the stress away and provides a functional space + system.”
– CAITY, Raleigh
I want you to know that it’s OKAY!
I know that totally-stressed-out-by-the-house feeling…
And I also know how life-changing it is when you transform your home into a place that revives you and serves you.
When you walk into a room and see only A) things that are useful, or B) things you love or find beautiful... that feeling lifts you up. It gives you a sense of HOME.
What if your home felt like a peaceful retreat from top to bottom?
“Peace in Place is a game changer.
All boxes for our move from a 3,000 sq. ft. home into our somewhat smaller new home were unpacked and set up within 3 weeks. When people walk into our home, they exclaim how beautiful it is—and it is!
Our entire home is uncluttered, organized, and beautiful and I can get on with my life. I can’t thank Lindsay and her team at Peace in Place enough!”
– VALERIE, Garner
"how did you get into this?"
When I stared at that positive pregnancy test (all of 23, married all of 2 months, Harlem-dweller, no career but plenty of NYU-debt), I realized I had to figure something out… NOW.
I asked myself: “What do I love doing so much that I would do it for free?” (Not immediately, you crazy! FIRST, I pulled up my pants & called hubs with the baby news…)
But the clouds soon parted and my answer came down like a softly descending angel (no lie!):
Natural OCD obsessions + New Yorker’s tiny apartments + a flexible job that left time to be with my bébé (soon bébéS) = job perfection!
9 years and hundreds of clients later we’re growing a women-owned & operated team, and still bringing the passion for decluttering your home into a stress-free place of peace!
“Working with Lindsay was one of the BEST decisions I ever made!
We live in a very tight space and have many people to accommodate. Lindsay heard our story, understood our lifestyle and needs and helped create some sense from the chaos...a miracle worker!!!”
– SHIREEN, Queens

MEGAN
Lead Organizer, New York City
“I had a terrific experience with Lindsay Frey and her team from Peace in Place.
The name of the company is just right –
They took a chaotic situation (the stuff of three different apartments, haphazardly packed, consolidated into one house) and made out of it a peaceful place to live.”
– PHIL, CHAPEL HILL
we believe...
…HOME SHOULD BE A PLACE OF PEACE
This is the passion that drives us! Everyone should have a haven to relax + re-energize, and a space to pursue their interests. Life is hectic enough — your home doesn't have to be.
…IN JUDGMENT-FREE ZONES
Full confidentiality and zero judgment, no matter what your home looks like. As a member of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals, we follow the organizer’s Code of Ethics (bet you didn’t realize we had one!).
…IN SIMPLIFYING (NOT “MINIMALISM”)
Most of us have way more than we need or use. There’s no magic number of how many items of clothes you should have. But every time you edit down your things, you get closer to the ‘sweet spot’ of having only what you use & love.
…IN REDUCING IMPACT
After all client sessions, we provide complimentary recycling drop-off for plastic film, wire hangers, electronics, and organic waste, to reduce the environmental impact of decluttering.
…IN GIVING BACK
Since dollar #1, we've committed 10% of all pre-tax profit to charities and community needs. We support work to end homelessness in the cities we work in, and believe that investing in global needs helps us keep a humble perspective on the privilege we hold as Americans.
…IN SHARING OUR SKILLS
We offer a 20% discount for nonprofits, and donate at least 15 hours of organizing services to schools, nonprofits or families in need every year.
“Lindsay was the best! My house feels more manageable, everything has a place.
Peace in Place is the perfect name for her company because we really have felt calmer and more in control since she came and helped us! Bonus: She's really fun to be around and she knows how to juggle!”
– MICHELLE, Raleigh
fun facts!
Your ears are thankful you weren’t at this 5-year-old’s concert
My singing debut was at 2
I play violin & guitar & piano & ukulele too. My 3 brothers & I sang harmonies and always had to perform at family gatherings. Our dad would make up little songs & parodies for us like swapping out “Grandad” for “My Girl.”
At ‘Whimsy World’, the Hong Kong version of Chuck E Cheese!
I lived in Hong Kong for 8 years
Also Scotland, Paris, and Zanzibar & Arusha in Tanzania. I speak French & Swahili, now working on Spanish, but I wish I knew 15 languages! Our dream is to move overseas with our kids when they’re in middle school.
Chemistry schoolwork in a hammock!
I was homeschooled until college
Then started New York University at 17. Managed-ish not to be one of those awkward kids (thanks, mom!) but still emerged with weird millennial divergencies like never watching Boy Meets World & not knowing what Tamagotchi are.
This bed has seen a lot of labor…
I birthed both my kids at home
Idealistic move that worked out not-so hot the first time and AWESOME the second time. And in my 600 sq ft NYC apartment! Neighbors swore they didn’t hear anything, but I’m not so sure…
A 2017 plant haul… only one of these made it *tear*
I turned my ‘thumb’ from black to green!
When I made this website in 2020, I wrote: “I want to buy #allthegreenthings but I know only 25% of them will survive my house... Even succulents and air plants!! What’s wrong with me???” Now I’m the psycho with 50+ plant babies often caught petting leaves in public (dust!).
5 feet 4 inches of don’t-cross-me…
I studied Krav Maga and used it to fight off a mugger
My dad owns a Krav studio in Cary & apparently the story of how I got followed into my building at 11pm, got put in a headlock, then screamed & fought like crazy til he ran away is a recurring story shared at Women’s Self Defense seminars!
