Review of KS Organizing
My experience with Kate and her team has been nothing short of amazing. She always gets it right. We recently built an addition, changed my home office to downstairs and also changed my upstairs office to a dedicated craft room. We now needed to deal with my mother's things, and 2 friends that passed away much too young had donated to our clutter as well.
I was seriously overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff we had accumulated. We kept moving things from one room to another hoping to pair down with each move. Kate came in and took the worry out of removing most of my items that no longer brought me joy or pleasure. She is so fast at restoring balance and peace in my life. I wish I could have her here monthly... hmmm, that's not a bad idea!
Kate's method is a kind, gentle nudge in the right direction. Kate doesn't judge or chastise, she never smirks or makes me feel badly about my choices to keep certain items. Kate is the consummate professional. She is always the organizer, and I respect that. She has a softer side and is more willing to share it once the work is finished. She is hands down one of the best organizers, if not THE BEST Organizer I've ever had and believe me this isn't my first rodeo. I actually used to be an organizer myself prior to the onset of a series of autoimmune diseases that has taken so much from me. I used to live in a magazine cover home, and everything had a place and every last piece of nonsense was in its place. I have lived in this house for 25+ years and with the exception of my bedroom, my house has been under-organized for the better part of those 25 years. I take pride in my home, and when I started listening to books on organizing and living with less, I had to find the right person to help me pursue that calm, serene lifestyle that can only happen when everything has a place and actually IS IN IT!
There also needs to be less stuff. "Less is more" is more than just a saying, it's a real way of life. The older I become the more I also need to feel the comfort of my things. I only recently realized that it is a cry for people's comfort, not item comfort. Items don't comfort you, only the memories attached to those objects and the people that you made those memories with. The worse your physical clutter, the more you need Kate to help you get to the root of your clutter or habitual hoarding.
Kate can help solve your inner loneliness and your desire for perfection, by helping you lessen your load and open up. She is wise and plans well. She comes prepared with all the tools she needs to perform her tasks for the day. She also has staff that augments her abilities. Much like Kate does, they ask the right questions to get you to decide on the best home for items. They gently guide you to the right answer, even if it means keeping it. Then they share ways to showcase the item so you can enjoy it fully, not amongst 30 other things that drown it out.
I hope you will use Kate's services because she really is the best around and she is worth every penny spent. Once we are finished with this project I have another 3 or 4 so you may have to wait until she's finished here! Just kidding. She is often booking out 3+ weeks which tells you she is in demand and there is a reason. Everyone loves her and you will too!
Thank you Kate for making my home liveable and peaceful again,
