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.

I got some good ideas from the gentleman who did our estimate, however the cost of the shelvings were above our budget. I ended up going with another company who just does flooring. I can tell this is a big company. I prefer working with smaller companies where I can meet the business owners myself. This way the service feels a little more personal. When I emailed the gentleman who did our estimate to let him know that I was going with a different company, I never got a reply which I found a little unprofessional. Made it obvious that they could care less. Well, guess I won't be recommending this company to friends and family. The company I ended up going with (Garage Ovation) did a fantastic job and their customer service was top notch.

This was an awful experience. I went off of an old recommendation on a neighborhood facebook group,…read moreand I looked her up. Her website was pristine. I reached out to her, and she made all the right promises - she's an expert (specifically with respect to paint), she has more than 15 years of design experience, she talked about other projects she had done. I thought I had done my due diligence, so I signed a contract with her and spent $1000 for design services. To say the least, she was not an expert, and she did not handle herself professionally or even appropriately. She was distracted and brought nothing but chaos to my house... and she claims to be a life coach of some kind? She came to a paint consultation with an iphone and a magazine, no samples or swatches. No discussion of what I have versus what I want to keep and acquire, undertones, light, windows, etc. Nothing. When she left, nothing had gotten done, but she said she "knew" what I wanted. For the second paint consultation, we were supposed to be putting paint on the wall. Instead of bringing liquid paint samples, she pulls two paper samples out of her purse that looked like she had grabbed them out of a drawer. I never saw trim or ceiling paint. When I asked her if she had a chart with paint finishes (because she didn't even know the different paint finishes or the proper recommendation for old walls), she yelled at me that she's not being paid to run around town. So she refused to do anything else that day because she had so much to do in addition to dealing with me, and that she was going to be suddenly unavailable for the next two days. At this point, painters had been at my house for 3 days, house in shambles and we still hadn't picked paint colors. And she was ribbing at me for being anxious. I have messages to her telling her I wanted something calming on the walls. I ended up with a griege that turns pink and orange after 3pm. After, I told her I just needed space from her, she shows up at my house uninvited, she wanted to just fix it, we gotta fix it, I have to be happy. "No, *I* have to fix it; you need to go." Just awful. The whole experience was bizarre, chaotic, and definitely what not would someone would expect from a business called "Simplify with Di." Do not recommend.

We had never worked with an interior designer before, but we knew an expert's assistance would be helpful given the amount of furniture and other decorating assistance we needed. Ali was a great listener and developed a vision for the house that fit both our lifestyle and tastes. She introduced us to pieces and patterns beyond those we would have found on our own. For each room, she provided multiple choices for furniture, patterns, rugs, etc.--at various price points and styles--and made sure that we could mix and match the different pieces while maintaining the overall vision for the room. In addition to her aesthetic talents, Ali was a huge help with logistics--placing orders, securing samples, and staying on top of suppliers and vendors. With the ongoing supply delays due to the pandemic, Ali kept us up to date as shipping and delivery dates changed. Overall, Ali is a lovely person and very easy to work with--highly communicative throughout the process. We will certainly keep her in mind for our future interior decorating needs!

Great work from Ali Horwitz. Look forward to seeing her continued success around DC and Baltimore.read more
