If Mission 2 Organize is on a mission to change lives, then consider it 'Mission: Accomplished'…read more(for me at least, and for everyone I have already referred them to)! Which is why I am here: to yell my praises from digital mountain tops! I was (very generously) gifted an early Christmas present from my mom of a full day/organizing session with M2O... AND IT WAS THE BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED! It is truly the gift that keeps on giving. **Hint hint, people- Christmas is less than 3 weeks away, if you are struggling for ideas. ;-) Schae and Britney were spectacular! They rolled into my place like two boss ladies ready to get down to business (but not in a scary way lol)! They put on a fun playlist and took charge, which is what I like and needed. They let me help (obviously not required, but desired on my part to learn) and taught me helpful tips and tricks along the way to maintain the organization. Best of all, they knew how to prioritize my projects in the order that made most sense, and maximized efficiency and my time with them. Not a minute wasted and no stone (aka leftover crap I didn't need anymore) left unturned! AND, like, how helpful and convenient it is that they haul away as many donations for you as they can when they leave?! At the end of the day (literally), I had the best nights sleep that I'd had in years, knowing that there was (finally!) a place for everything and everything in its place. Not only did M2O grant me peace of mind, they motivated me to keep going and see what I can accomplish on my own with what I learned from them. And the productivity levels on all the DIY projects I've set aside over the years are through the roof! My home is, now, finally the way I want and need it to be- it is first and foremost, my sanctuary. Thanks to M2O! But don't worry, I would never claim to be a 'Master Organizer' like them though- there are still some projects that seem just too overwhelming to undertake myself...like where do I even start?! SO, I've already booked my next session with them. Can't wait for Round 2!

Our kitchen and bathrooms were touched by angels…read more We just moved into our new condo and let's just say we had more than we thought the space could handle. There was no way we could have unpacked and organized our kitchen and bathrooms over the next few weeks, which is what their team excelled to do in less than a day. Mackenzie was very responsive starting from original quote to appointment day. Because of this they came fully prepared and we feel every minute they used here was optimized to the fullest. It's our first time using this kind of service and Mackenzie, Chloe, Brittany, Mary and Melanie have officially spoiled us for all moves to come. Our home brings us so much joy now.

They were super responsive and could not have been more professional and all around AWESOME to work with! If you're looking to sell quickly, I would highly recommend staging. Though we initially reluctant to do the staging thing, we're so happy we decided to have it staged AND called Modern Spaces. It made such a huge difference - we almost immediately received an offer! If you're looking for a good, reliable staging company in Chicago, the Modern Spaces team will definitely not disappoint!!

I went from listing to closing on the sale of my condo - with a FULL PRICE OFFER in 21 DAYS!!!…read moreWhile it has been a hot market in many places, condos in my neighborhood have been taking longer to sell so I never would've imagined closing less than a month after I listed the unit for sale. I had an inkling it might sell quickly when the contractors came back to finish up after the unit had been staged and they didn't recognize the place they'd been renovating for months. Then I saw the *spectacular* listing photos and I wanted to buy the place all over again! The buyer loved everything so much they asked if they could buy all the furnishings (everything you see in the photos is from PS Lehman). I know the staging played an outsized role in making this too-good-to-be-true deal actually true! I couldn't be more grateful to the team at PS Lehman - from the very first contact and every step along the way until the unit was empty - they took all the stress out of every step and helped me get a result I never imagined. If you are thinking of hiring them to stage your home - do not delay! I could not recommend them more highly.

Everything about my experience with PS Lehman was fantastic. They promptly replied to all communications. Every member of their team - from my main point of contact to the moving team to the designers - was timely, respectful, and delivered what they had promised. The condo went under contract just one day after their staging, after sitting on the market for 45 days before that. They will be my first call for future staging needs.

Amy helped us buy our house in the fall of 2020. She was incredibly helpful with her industry…read moreconnections, and helped negotiate to buy under the list price, a rarity in today's market. Amy was always available to help if we wanted to tour a home, and was extremely responsive to us. Additionally, she helped steer us clear of properties that would have hidden problems from her experience, and helped guide us to a house that met our needs first and foremost. Amy made the process of buying our first home a relative breeze, and we can't highly recommend her enough as a top notch realtor.

Despite the fact that we didn't have the highest offer on our current home, Amy made sure it was the best offer. She advised us as if we were her best friends, and she ensured that we were set up with a team of professionals from a contract attorney to home inspector. While you may think of home buying as a terrible experience, Amy makes sure it is the complete opposite. Whenever we do it again, we'll be sure to call her!

Desiree was great to work with. We hired her to help us decorate our main living area. I was a…read morelittle worried that our job would be too small for her scope, but she assured me that she does jobs of all sizes. She started off by coming over to our house to get an idea of the space and our style. We had already ordered the sofa, but needed help with everything else, as we were starting from scratch. She went shopping with us twice, and the remainder of the time, we worked by emailing each other links of ideas. She quoted us on a budget that we were comfortable with, and she was able to finish everything in the hours she quoted us on. She even came over a final time to help us install some wall shelves and position the accessories around the room for us. There are so many stores and ideas that I never would have thought about without Desiree's help. She was really great, and I would highly recommend her!

Desiree did a great job with one of the most difficult projects of my life: choosing the color of…read morepaint for each room of our condo. After subtly guiding us away from the disaster it would have been had we gone with our original color choices, Desiree was able to find an excellent color match for each room with further recommendations on how to use accent colors to expand the space. She was also able to tell when either my wife or I did not like a color--even when we weren't sure ourselves--and she was quickly able to find different colors that we both liked. We had the place painted and it looks fantastic! We couldn't be happier with it. Far more than just paint selection, Desiree also offers a complete portfolio of interior design services and is especially passionate about kitchens. Coming from the insurance industry where she regularly negotiated with top executives, no one drives a harder bargain with contractors better than Desiree - and that could save you a lot of money and headache.

Adina has helped me renovate and remodel several properties. The last one was a quick renovation…read morein August 2020 for one of my investment rental properties. When you look at the "before-and-after" pictures, it is clear that the results of her work are impressive, even with the extremely tight budget and schedule that we had to work with. Adina's designs show her passion and creativity for developing living universes, that people want to immerse and surround themselves with, as soon as they see them. When you see one of her designs, you immediately feel the desire to be in that space. She has an impressive gift to transform spaces in ways you cannot imagine beforehand, with color combinations you would have not imagined, but when you see the finished product, you love them because it is absolutely superb and pleasing. It simply feels good... I enjoy working with Adina as she is very talented, creative, honest and daring. She is direct and confident in her radical ideas, clear on expectations, and punctual. I was surprised a few times by some suggestions she made, that I thought would not look good (...what do I know?), but I trusted her, went with it, and found out they were the best solutions for the spaces we were renovating. I LOVED the outcome. I learned not to second-guess her ever again, and to fully trust her. Whatever she creates, is going to look and feel great in the end! She is a perfectionist with a budget in mind. Adina's designs are "out-of-the-box", on the leading edge of creativity in art, they are modern, daring, and well balanced. The color schemes she chooses are always exquisite, delightful to the eye, attractive to the mind, and relaxing to the heart and soul. Adina's portfolio is surprisingly vast with projects such as Village Market in Chicago, Google and Leo Burnett offices, ISI Headquarters as well as various residential and hospitality renovations. She led the design and implementation for the Village Market - a large commercial complex in the heart of Chicago. I saw it first in a pencil sketch, then in 2D. She continued to work and I saw the first 3 Dimensional rendering, and ... 3 years later, when I visited Chicago, she took me to a location that gave me the same exact view of the Village Market as I saw last time in her portfolio picture, only this time... it was the real thing (brick & mortar), beautifully executed by her to match the original vision. Adina is highly conscious and efficient when it comes to cost. She has hands-on knowledge of materials & costs, and she has developed a network of strategic partners in the industry, who can provide you promotional discounted prices and/or expedited deliveries to her clients. She is a pleasure to work with, she is well organized and always listens well to her clients, understanding their needs and wants. She told me that her main objective in business is to make sure -in any project- the end results will meet her client's goals: architectural, financial, and timeline. With a well-controlled and tight budget, she is making wonders. I highly recommend her and her work to anyone needing assistance with an architectural project. Whether is a simple garage addition, a Media Room, or more complex project that requires an artful & attractive (art-tractive) design, an interior face-lift, or something done in a cost-efficient way, and done quickly, Adina always has the best (and usually most unexpected!) solution. It is worth mentioning that you will still have money in the bank at the end of the project she designs for you! You will be happy to see how much life Adina will bring into your project. Adina's work is an enchanting mixture of harmony, balance, and creativity that meet in absolute beauty. I hope you get an opportunity to work with Adina on your next project so you can enjoy one of her truly uplifting transformations. Call her / write now!
