So Glad I Found C.Lee of Simplify You!…read more C.Lee is a real gem. Working with her during my home renovation was incredible - she had such a great way of envisioning our space and suggesting things that I never would have thought of on my own. Every idea she suggested was spot on, practical and very clever, and perfectly fit how we actually live. She came up with the idea of turning an inaccessible corner of our kitchen into a cozy pet food nook in the mudroom, which was a great use of what would otherwise be wasted space. She also suggested converting our old coat closet into a pantry when we expanded the kitchen, and it's been a game-changer. She encouraged me to rethink the original plans for stove and microwave placements, which was 100% the right call. All those considerations and smart suggestions have made such a huge difference in how our home feels and functions. Now that everything's done, I can honestly say this renovation exceeded all of my expectations. The kitchen, especially. It's beautiful, it flows perfectly, and it just works. C.Lee really listened, and her ideas helped make the whole house feel more intentional and comfortable. I promise, if you are doing a major renovation, using her "plan review" services will pay off tenfold. Highly recommend!

As of this writing Simplify You has a perfect 25 5 star reviews, and I am excited to provide the…read more26th. My family spent 2 years living abroad and to prepare for that trip we dumped our entire 3 story townhouse into a 10 sq foot storage unit. Since getting back, we've spent the past 5 months taking out boxes, processing them, and sorting them into our new smaller apartment. The frustration of this experience was ever present - as soon as we got the apartment in a good place we'd go get 10 more boxes and restart the whole cycle, leaving us feeling underwater and overwhelmed. We also have a 5 year old and a 6 month old, so the time we were able to invest in the house was always limited and at the end of an exhausting day. Before hiring C.Lee I would have guessed we had another 2-3 months of clutter hell before we would be in the clear. Then we hired Simplify You, and everything changed immediately. When we hired C.Lee we assumed there would be 2-3 day-long sessions to get the last mountain of boxes down and our home finally FINALLY orgainzed. Instead, C. Lee came with one assistant Amy, and in just 8 hours of hard work between them, me, and my wife, we managed to process and store the final 25 or so boxes from our previously bottomless storage unit, AND sort all the things we still had lying around, AND completely reorganize our kitchen, master walk in closet, bedroom, and kids bedroom. There were a few niggly things left over from that monster session, which C. Lee easily solved in a quick 3 hour follow up. So instead of spending 3 more months in box clutter hell, we instead spent 11 whirlwind hours with C.Lee and got the job done - meaning 1 hour of C.Lee + assistant time equaled about one WEEK of effort from just me and my wife alone. In addition to all the above I could write a volume on C.Lee and Amy's professionalism, upbeat attitude, ability to keep us going when processing difficult childhood memories, and raw organizational talents, but if I keep going on for much longer people will start to think this review is a plant or something. If you are at all struggling under the weight of clutter or disorder at home, then you should hire Simplify You. For a fair price you will reap extraordinary value and shed a mountain of stress, anxiety, and frustration. I cannot recommend C.Lee and her staff highly enough, and will be recommending her services to anyone who sounds like they feel even remotely like we did before her whirlwind day changed our lives.

They quoted me per square foot and also gave me the option for carpet cleaning which I found pricing was transparent. Half pay was up front and half pay was afterwards.

They were also able to get me in earlier than I had scheduled as an availability opened up. Thanks!

Even beyond decluttering- we tackled my work from home routines and habits. It takes a special skill to tap into the layers of reasons our houses are the way the are, and to uncover or create the systems we need to make things run more smoothly, and Jenny excels here. I felt listened to, seen, cared for, and so impressed at how open minded Jenmy was in our work together.

Plus most say "I don't judge" or "I've seen worse", because Rebecca just got to work I realize I've never quite believed it. The photo is the result of only four hours of work, two of which I simply hid. Some is trash, obviously, although I do have an excuse for the hamper. The rest is donations, things I don't use or wear which other people actually need. I'm not attaching inside photos: I can finally get to the entire floor but haven't vacuumed it yet. It's like this: once things started to go bad it had just kept getting worse. My walk-in closet and bedroom had gotten so cluttered I didn't have a place to put clean laundry, had sheets in various places, rope baskets piled on top of boxes - all with a jumble of crafts and clothing and books and whatever. I couldn't even find space to pull it all out to sort it. Rebecca arrived, I hid in my study. 2 hours later she had things to the point that I could come in and start making decisions. And she'd found four cat brushes - I kept buying new ones and duplicates because I couldn't find what I had. My homework is getting all the laundry done and put away. She's gathered other groups of small things I can easily sort through to keep only what I need. And collecting all the paper including stuff to be filed so old I don't need it and old files. Only some of it needs to be shredded and I don't think she knows what she's getting into but know that she can handle it. Then we tackle the next stage. my living/dining room. We all had good intentions: during the lockdown we pulled things out of places to organize them then were too overwhelmed to actually do it.

I submitted a request on Yelp, and received a phone call from Scott, the business owner, within a few days. We discussed my needs and expectations, and he asked me to send some photos. I sent photos, he quickly replied, asked for more photos, and i sent them. After that, radio silence. It has now been THREE weeks and I have heard NOTHING. I have called and emailed with no return. I don't know what happened here, but I guess I will have to take my business elsewhere... Real shame.

Solutions by Scott is a team of Certified Professional Organizers serving DC, VA, and MD. I hired…read morethem to design and install new closet organization systems for three of my closets. Scott met with me to determine how I use my space, what things I need to store, and what my living patterns are. He then sent me several proposal illustrations of how he best recommended that I use my closet space. Finally, he and his team installed all three solutions over a weekend that I was out of town. I was stunned when I saw them the first time. This was my first time having custom closet organization systems, so I have never experienced this level of organization in my previous residences. Everything that previously looked crammed into the closets was neatly organized with room to spare. The Elfa hardware that they chose is also great stuff. I also hired Solutions by Scott to manage my move processs, as I was traveling out of town frequently during the time of my move. They helped me clean out my storage unit... select what to keep and what to pitch out... even delivered my stuff to Goodwill for me and called a charity organization that he knew of (A Wider Circle) to come pick up the furniture that I donated. Now I no longer pay for offsite storage! I couldn't have done all of this without their help.

This was absolutely the best birthday present I ever got myself and best money I have ever spent on my home. In 4 hours the space went from "I feel shame and anxiety every time I use my back door" to peaceful, airy, and organized. What was magical to me though was the process. Mandie worked together with me to really understand how we use the space and what our needs are, what matters to me, etc. The result feels like me and like our family. It's not super fancy or overdone. Some parts probably wouldn't make sense to someone else. But it's set up in a way where it's realistic for my family to actually keep it organized like this long term. I was honestly scared to have to deal with this space, I felt vaguely nauseous every time I even thought about it. But in reality the process was uplifting and centering. I got to think through how I want & hope for my home to be, then Mandie basically waved a magic wand and made it so. Only problem, this is seriously addictive.
