Amazing!! Shira is the whole package and I have 100% confidence she can help you tackle any home organization process. She is smart, fun, respectful, quick, knowledgeable, creative, and motivating. This year I moved into a gorgeous studio apartment in a wonderful SF neighborhood. While I was excited for the move, I began to panic about storage and space. #Fashionista. When I moved in, I took everything from my old life and stuffed it into the studio. It was working...ish. But what I really wanted was that light, airy, free feeling. And I wasn't getting it with all my stuff. So I began a quest to minimize my belongings - especially my clothes! No matter how hard I tried by reading the "Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" or any other materials, I could only let go of a few things at once on my own. So I reached out to Shira. Shira came in and BOOM I was letting go of things by the second and having FUN doing it. Shira helped me maintain perspective by suggesting what might be appropriate for me and my lifestyle. She did not come in with a stringent minimalist formula. She came in looking to get to know me + my life. Then we created the plan together and made sure it felt good. In my two days with Shira, I can confidently say we decreased my belongings by at least 50%. We filled at least 6 IKEA bags with donations. I already know that I won't miss anything. I feel so much lighter. Happier. Inspired!!! And most importantly, like I can stop stressing about my stuff and start focusing on my life. Work with Shira and you won't regret it :). I promise! read more

Shira is a miracle worker. Her organizing and transformation is like a work of art. Incredibly professional and friendly, her attitude and efficiency is far above any. She not only organizes, but creates a plan and teaches along the way so that we can continue to live a less stressed and cluttered life. The only regret you will have if you call her is thinking why you didn't do it sooner! read more

Do not wait another second to call upon Shira to help you organize! I waited for years, thinking I should be able to organize our office. I've come to realize that disorganization is self-defeating and counterproductive. I didn't like using our office because it was so messy! But I also felt overwhelmed and unfocused. In two hours, Shira transformed our office to a place I still marvel at when I enter! My files have beautiful folders with labels; our shelves are organized with like things grouped together; our desk has an expansive work space; I have only 10 pens instead of dozens and only 3 pairs of scissors! I am a devotee of her system, which is something I can build upon. Shira's friendly reminder in my ear says: like things go with like things and everything has a home. Shira's kind voice asks me in my ear: are you going to be crafting/making jewelry in the future? Do you need this? Does it have a home? Do you want to leave this for your children after you are gone? Shira gave me the confidence to organize and continue to purge on my own. What a gift to have this jump start to a life with less clutter! I feel so much lighter and so much happier! Shira is such a fun, caring, wonderful person. Call her to be your organizational guide! Thank you, Shira! read more

I hired Shira to help me do a closet edit. I had 10 years/worth of clothing to go through and Shira was great. I was nervous that we would have a different fashion sense but when she showed up, I loved how she was dressed. Casual but put together, which is what I aim for. Great sweater, drool-worthy ankle boots, skinny jeans. My uniform essentially. It was like having a friend with a great eye and fashion sense help me get rid of the things that weren't working for me or had seen better days. Shira was funny, patient, firm, and absolutely right about every recommendation she made. She took away 2 of those blue IKEA bags filled with my discards and I haven't missed one.single.item. She left me with a list of things I could buy to round out my wardrobe (I needed very little) and also talked to me about buying better quality items that will wear better. She also told me not to buy anything that isn't on my list so that I don't find myself with a packed closet again. And I haven't, which has been very liberating for my wallet :) Now, when I walk into my closet, I don't have to wonder what to wear as everything looks good on my and is stylish on its own or in conjunction with some other great piece she left for me. I am dying to go shopping with her, is that silly? read more

I don't ever want to have a messy room but it just happens so fast! Any paperwork or bills that I couldn't lose were living in a pile on my bed. I had so many clothes that I couldn't keep up with the laundry and my clean clothes unfolded in the laundry basket while my dirty clothes surrounded them on the floor. I always hated it when my mom used to tell me to clean my room, so I was hesitant to pay someone to do the same, but Shira has changed my life! She came in with so much positivity and humor that my normally defensive self too a break. Together we went through my clothes and got rid of about half of my clothes which I didn't want to lose, but hadn't worn in a year! We also created a small office area in my room. It's just a little table but we created a system of where things go when they need to be dealt with and where things go when their done. I feel so much better about my living space. I love walking into my room after work and being proud of the space I live in. I am also sleeping better without my bills literally sharing my bed with me!!! Thanks Shira. Couldn't have done it without you! read more

Shira is at the top of her game. I discovered her through the "Go Ahead and Declutter" article in Oakland Magazine. I was a little reluctant to pay for an organizer, but it was completely worth it! The half day session was transformational. The session was quite efficient and I was very happy with all that we decluttered. It was amazing actually. My living room had a peaceful feeling. The transformational part was that when I saw what could be accomplished, it motivated me. In the following weeks, I got an amazing amount of organizing and de-cluttering done. I didn't know it was possible. With Shira, I was able to get about 2 or 3 times the amount done compared to working alone in the same amount of time. I may book another session with her. I'm glad to have that option. The great thing is that I feel empowered. read more

Ever ask yourself "If you had tons of disposable income who would you hire to help you enhance your life?" I've always wanted a personal creative director - a stylist. Someone who would magically appear in my closet every time I needed to get dressed for work, going to a restaurant or just take my kids to dance camp or music class. I'm a big girl and can manage a business and a family but don't think I'm particularly good at or enjoy putting myself together from head to toe with the right ensemble. Thank you, Shira!!! Actually, first I'll thank my sweet husband for asking me what gift I wanted after the birth of our second child. I knew Shira worked magic for people wanting organization and order in their home so I tossed the idea out there to see if she would organize my existing wardrobe and style me with new pieces. Not just come through the closets and thin things out and cart it off to goodwill. I wanted her to help me figure out what basic staple items I was missing then provide options and help me put together a wardrobe for the work and personal lives I live. Shira creatively wardrobed me in the fun, casual and stylish way I was wanting. First she sent a 1 page questionnaire asking some basic questions about favorite color, type of style I'm after, if there were any recognizable personalities that had a look I admired.... Then she came to my house and for 3 hrs went through every shoe, bag, jean, tank top, jacket, etc, etc, etc. 8 giveaway bags later I was ready for stage 2. This was the first time I had heard of Pinterest. Shira had created and online story board of clothing and accessories that fit my ideal look. I could either start shopping for the black and brown bag I needed or the extremely cool and unique tweed down vest Shira found for me or I could just wait for our shopping day. I did quite a bit of online shopping which was perfect since I was able to bring the bag and boots I bought online on our shopping spree. POWER SHOPPING was Stage 3 - Anthropologie, JCrew, Zara, Macy's, Bloomies and a bunch of other boutiques were stuffed into a 3.5 hr window. Shira had given me a list of the items I needed to fill my wardrobe and away we went. I had a ton of fun throughout the entire process and would highly highly recommend working with Shira to inject any type of style into your life. read more

As a relatively "new" professional organizer I was seeking some insight and advice on how to get started. Shira did that and more! She invited me on a job and I was able to see first hand her focused, kind, and motivated energy work wonders in her client's garage. She created efficient and accessible spaces. Thanks Shira :) read more

I had previously had Shira in my home to bring order to my out-of-control closet. Our short afternoon together a few years ago continues to help me keep that closet (and many more parts of my home) in good working order with only things that I use or love. When Shira offered a 3-month Goal Setting workshop I jumped at the chance to participate. I have a small business that was functioning as a "hobby on steroids" and I wanted to take it to the next level. As a mom of two young children I've been watching the things that I want to prioritize sit on the backburner for far too long. This intimate group of women meeting a few short hours a month has helped me hone in on small changes that I can make to reach the larger goals that I have set for myself and my business. I've learned how to motivate myself to achieve the goals that I want and how to turn small successes into the momentum I need to achieve the big picture goals. The last three months have been way more productive, fun, and satisfying than the previous years trying get my business rolling-- I know what I want and I have a plan to get there thanks to Shira! read more

Shira not only worked with us when we moved into our condo a year ago, but also worked with Adam (my husband) 2 years ago when we was decorating his bachelor pad. She helps make furniture shopping a lot easier, and made the move-in process so much smoother, by acting as a "furniture negotiator." This woman doesn't sell decorating or organizing - she sells marital harmony and feng shui. Would definitely work with her again. read more

Working with Shira is life-changing. I mean it! It is not just the work that she does with you in your house, it is the change of perspective that you have after working with her. All of a sudden, I stopped focusing on what I didn't have and started focusing on clearing through and giving away what I do have. And realizing that I don't really need that much! Also, I now apprach every area of our house with a new organizing vigor! It's amazing how you have one room of your house organized, you want the rest of the house to look the same. Before Shira came, I felt stuck in a rut and and didn't want to entertain because it would mean a huge cleanup. But now after having her here, I feel like a weight has been lifted. Shira is so easy to connect with and she is extremely efficient in what she does. She intuitively understood what my needs were and just got right to it with me which I loved! I would highly recommend working with her! read more

Shira is a saint! I asked her to come and help my husband and I make our office space actually work. It's technically our 3rd bedroom, but we had decided to make it the office. With moving in, wedding planning, and small business admin all going on throughout the past year plus, all we did was throw papers onto the floor into various piles. Shira came in, asked me about my goals, what we wanted from our room, and where her skills would best be used. By the end of the day, we had a room that was organized, streamlined, clean, and inviting. We created a major to-do list that I still haven't gotten completely through, but guides my everyday schedule. We also reconfigured the room so that there was flow: desk, computer accesories, file cabinet (with it's own organization), and even a comprehensive book shelf. If Shira hadn't come along with her vision of space and function, my husband and I would still be stuck throwing things into the room and then closing the door and walking away. Now, you can find either one of us sorting and filing our mail, doing computer work(not in the bedroom!), and even just hanging out on the floor with our pup! Thanks Shira! read more

Shira is a lifesaver. I was midway through a diy re-design project and had hit a wall. Nothing was quite looking right and I was questioning every decision. In swoops Shira with all her simple, clean, and stylish wisdom and before I knew it my living room had been transformed into what I knew it could be. You would be lucky to have Shira on your team for any project! read more

Shira has been a delight to work with. I have always been an organized person, but now with two working parents of two busy girls, the piles of "stuff" get too big too fast. We've had two sessions with Shira and have worked through all of our closets, cleaned up and transitioned from a "play room" and have gotten our bedroom and our 9 year olds brought into the present. Our first session, which was just clothing, shoes and other closet items, we donated 11 bags to charity. Shira has taught us to focus on "fewer, better things" and just keep what really fits well, is good quality and only a few items are necessary in a given category. We are still working through the house, but are well on our way to living with less clutter and we've been able to maintain the systems she's put in place. Our daughters have even really gotten into it and have been able to shed some items, which I never thought possible. Highly recommend Shira! read more

I had high expectations, and they were more than met. I could not be more pleased. I hired Shira to help me organize my 7 year old daughter's tornado-prone room. She did that gloriously, with humor and calm, and the most perfect balance of gentleness, non-judgment, sound & novel advice, and firm encouragement. What?! How does someone master all that so well? I don't even get it. In 3 hours, she skillfully led me step by step through every single item in my daughter's space. She managed the time perfectly, and helped me fill 2 large bags of donations, 1 of trash, and 1 of recycling. We found homes for everything that remained, and re-designed the space to capture all the categories of my daughter's Life of Stuff: Science, Art, Imaginative Play, Toys, Secrets (so clever!), & the brilliant Art Gallery. All like items are now together in labeled spaces, and my daughter can less painfully clean up within a couple minutes (it's so clear where everything belongs!). She is surrounded by just the things she loves, and Shira taught me all kinds of ways to focus on the positive and teach my daughter how to care for & maintain a space. My hoarding prone daughter is happy & I'm hopeful I can better manage this with her going forward. I'll definitely be hiring Shira again. read more

My wife and I tend to keep things. We're not hoarders, exactly, but we've accumulated a lot of stuff over the years. Our apartment was feeling cramped, dense, and full. We spent three sessions with Shira and now our apartment feels so much better. What I loved about Shira is that she gave us a little tough love in the moment, but also taught us some principles and rules-of-thumb that will help us keep our lives clutter-free and organized. This could be a painful process. But Shira is so professional and non-judgmental that we got over our embarrassment and self-consciousness right away. That made it easy to objectively evaluate all our stuff to sort the keepers from the give-aways. Home organization is just like managing your investments or getting in shape: of course you can do this by yourself. But by having a professional work with you ensures you actually achieve your goals. Shira will make sure you achieve what you want. read more

This woman rocks! I consider myself to be pretty organized and originally contacted Shira to help me pull together just one room. Without any pressure, she eventually helped me transform my entire house. Together we cleaned out years' worth of stuff (some junk and some not). Shira found places to donate everything to, and then we got to work organizing what was left into wonderfully useful closets, shelves, drawers, etc. I work from home and so it is especially important that I have an orderly environment and I could not ask for more. My kids, husband, and I can now find all of our clothing. The kids can see all of their games and books. I can find all of my work supplies. We now know how much extra toilet paper, paper clips, cleaning supplies, etc. we actually have. This was money and time VERY well-spent. Next up, my garage and basement, although I don't think that she is going to be thrilled by the rodents that we may find in the former! You cannot go wrong with the lovely Ms. Gill. She will make your home and/or office beautiful and functional and make you laugh while doing it. read more

Simply put, HIRE SHIRA! I used Shira's services and she was a *lifesaver*! We were in the middle of a move (which I know often happens right before baby comes with lots of folks), I was 9 months pregnant, finishing up work and a bit overwhelmed (also with toddler in tow). I hired Shira to help me organize the kids' shared room and she worked some serious magic. In a very short amount of time, she got me to prioritize what I needed and give away that which I didn't. So great to not be surrounded by clutter! Thanks, Shira. I still have your voice in my head when I'm going through things ("need this? how often do I use this?) and have learned to let go and enjoy living more simply. Think my babies are happy too to have more space to just play and grow! :-) read more

My husband and I aren't exactly the most organized people. But we are expecting twins and decided to invest in getting our house in order to be better equipped for the madness. So we hired Shira and our home now feels 100x more harmonious and we feel 100x less stressed. Shira came in and quickly got everything in tip top shape--from streamlining our kitchen to our organizing our medicine cabinets to helping to declutter our closets. I now just randomly open up drawers for the satisfaction of seeing how nice they look. Who knew a junk drawer could be a non-disaster? Who knew the perfect storage solutions existed for our mail/paperwork/bags/under the sink craziness/etc issues? Shira knew exactly what to get and from where -- research that would have taken me days--and probably would have landed me with a bunch of stuff that didn't work that well anyways (aka more clutter!) All of the stuff Shira suggested we buy is perfect for our space. What's more, working with Shira has helped shift my relationship to shopping. I've found that I no longer just "impulse buy" stuff. I think more carefully about how much I really love something and more importantly, how/where it's going to fit into the house. Very thankful to her for this shift in mindset! Would highly recommend Shira's services to anyone looking for a bit of a reset. She's professional, has impeccable taste/style, and is a ton of fun to work with! read more

My wife and I have been together about 4 1/2 years, and we can both say without equivocation that Shira is the best money we've ever spent as a couple. Our apartment was completely transformed over the course of our sessions. It has become 100% clutter-free and stress-free. And that is truly an achievement, as we had 3+ years of things that had piled up, as well as all the stuff that we had filled our apartment with when we moved into together (rather than get our own, new things, we just combined all the stuff that we had from our old separate apartments, without throwing anything out; that led to an incredibly cluttered apartment). No more. We no longer have random stuff lying around. We no longer have trouble finding things. Our place is functional. But more importantly, our apartment is actually a nice place now. Shira simplified things for us while also helping us find the aesthetic we wanted for our apartment. We wanted to replace furniture and change how we were using certain rooms. No problem. Shira came up with all kinds of great ideas, and pointed us to several furniture options that we loved. I'm not sure if there's anything she suggested that we said no to. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. We looked forward to each one of our sessions, and finished each session in a terrific mood and with a sense of accomplishment. Do not wait to hire Shira. Make an appointment with her today -- she will change your life! (I realize from looking at some other reviews that we're not the first to have used these words -- but there's no other way to say it! It's true!) read more

Its hard to describe the transformational impact of working with Shira! First, every time she comes over, it feels like I lose10 pounds of stress and pressure from my back and shoulders. Shira has impeccable taste. She has a knack for turning chaos, or even a space that may have previously felt organized, into a clean, clear relaxing oasis. She is also an awesome coach and leader. When you trust Shira, she will lead you down a path of making choices that you wouldn't on your own, and that may be difficult to make in the moment (such as parting with items that aren't serving you, or putting things in places that you wouldn't ordinarily). Once you've surrendered, you end up in places that are way better than you could have imagined. The best thing is that she will accommodate difficult schedules. In my case I'm a working mom with a busy job, and Shira made it work with my schedule. My day to day is so much easier as a result of the work we've done. Here are some examples: 1. Our 2 car garage was filled 3-5 feet high with stuff. In one 3 hour session, she helped me turn the space into a calm, beautiful, art studio sanctuary that still manages to act as storage to essential items that we need to keep in the garage. 2. My three year old had enough toys for me to open a pre-school. The way I had things organized, and I did put quite a bit of effort into it myself, would sometimes take an entire weekend to get things back in order. Again, in a 3 hour session with Shira, she helped me edit the items and transform the organizational system such that I rarely spend more than 15 minutes putting things away to where they go. 3. Shira told me I needed to do something about my closet. I didn't think so myself, but she's so fun to work with I agreed. Again, a 3 hour session later, and we slashed the time it takes me to put away laundry by 80%, slashed the time it takes me to get dressed for any occasion by 80%. It literally takes me 3 minutes to put together an outfit after the work I did with Shira. My daughter had been ignoring her toys, and now she has taken renewed interest. We set up a simple rotation system that takes no effort to maintain where she gets new toys regularly. We've been having lots more fun at home! 4. The kitchen: I told Shira that my husband feels overwhelmed by the amount of change we're making. Somehow she magically managed to transform our kitchen while leaving things where they were for the most part. Except now, where it was awkward to reach things, even to cook something simple was a bit of a chore, it is now a joy to work in the space. Unloading the dishwasher for example, is so nice when everything has a place, and things don't need to be shoved into cabinets. She made subtle and powerful adjustments that totally evolved how we interact with our kitchen to a comfortable relaxing experience. In addition, Shira is a pleasant person to work with, she is wise, and has a fantastic sense of humor. She is so positive and encouraging and an excellent resource for ideas on where to shop if you're trying to buy just about anything, and how to solve almost any aesthetic or organizational kunundrum for your home. read more

Shira, Thank you so much! You've changed my life. I am so grateful! I spent rest of day cleaning out the bottom of both closets and putting my boots there. My husband was thrilled and thinks you're magic! Thanks again, Monica Haywood read more

It's been a couple of months since Shira worked with me on my son's room and she is continuing to influence me. I have her voice in my head constantly (in a good way) and I've now been inspired to clean out my office and linen closet. I thought I was already a pretty organized person, but she has seriously changed my life. read more

Ever since frantically moving into our home last July, I've wanted to rethink where everything landed. And even though I thought we'd gotten rid of plenty of stuff, I knew I still wasn't really using things shoved to the back of shelves. Shira from Simply Sorted just left about a half hour ago, and I keep wandering back into my kitchen and pantry area, opening and closing drawers and cabinets and smiling. There are four bags of items ready for the Goodwill, and things just make sense in my kitchen now. Shira asked all of the right questions, helped me make quick but comfortable decisions and didn't waste a moment of our time. I'm looking forward to having her back to help figure out our storage situation and again to go through my wardrobe. I never felt pressured or embarrassed throughout the day: True to the name, it was a simple, painless and exceedingly helpful consultation by this warm and professional personal organizer. read more

I wanted to cry after my recent session with Shira. I never imagined that my semi-decent but small and cluttered apartment could look like the W hotel. Shira has changed my life. When I moved into my new apartment in SF, I didn't want to touch a thing before she came. My place was OKAY, but she came in and after asking exactly what I was looking for (functionality, feel etc.) she had so many specific suggestions for how to transform my place. We went room by room. She took meticulous notes and asked a lot of questions. I found my excitement growing throughout our visit. At the end, we sat down at my computer and she showed me all of the items that she would recommend and added them to my online shopping cart (all within my budget). My dinky apartment, which for the last 2 months I have been too embarassed to have people over to, is now going to be my personal oasis which I can't wait to show off. Thank you Shira!! read more

I realized I needed help when I couldn't get any work done in my office/crafting area because I kept needing to clean before getting to any projects. So I called Shira. O-M-G I expected her to help me get rid of things since that's much of what I had read about. I did not expect her to completely re-configure and design my space so that it is not only 100% functional and makes sense, but it looks AWESOME. I now love walking into the room- I feel like I have a new house! Somehow in 3 hours she managed to transform a junk-pile nightmare into something that looks like it could be in the pages of Dwell. I thought I needed an interior designer to help me- but apparently all I needed was Shira. Shira is very to the point and precise about every step of the way, she uses a timer, she uses gentle but firm (and funny) guidance, she keeps it upbeat and focused. She leaves you with a trunk load of bags to donate (of things I will not miss at all), and a list of "homework". It's only been a couple of days since she left, but already her voice has popped into my head many times, and I am continuing the "editing" process on my own. That said, I will definitely have her back to help me sort other areas of my home. Oh yes. read more

My husband and I highly recommend Shira for all of your home organizational needs. She has an outgoing and friendly personality that makes her easy to work with. She has great recommendations on how to clean thru spaces and a detailed list of places to both give your donations and to buy organizational items. read more

Shira is the type of person who truly walks the walk. She is passionate about living with less, and super thoughtful about her approach towards that application. Whether it's simplifying a space, helping with reorganization, or working to hold you accountable, the process feels effortless and the results always brag worthy. I had the pleasure of participating in Shira's "new year resolution" group, and over the course of three sessions, felt continuously inspired by Shira's simple guidance and encouragement. She is a wonderful facilitator and an endless resource. Themes organically emerged within our meetings, and Shira always had the appropriate reference or story that helped to motivate our goals and create real action items. Shira is an absolute pleasure to work with, and tackles hard issues with ease! read more

Yesterday I booked my first (and sure not to be last) session with Shira and didn't really know what to expect. Now, I'm on a mission to learn more about organizing, decluttering, interior design and how all of this affects my home life. I live with my husband and two kids in a two bedroom and needless to say we were more than ready to get some help and tips on how get our place organized and clutter-free (as the kids' stuff continues to grow faster than them!). Having Shira come in, take a tour and help me prioritze my goals was a wonder. I usually get a little embarrassed and nervous about people seeing certain rooms in my home and guide them out to the 'prettier areas.' Shira's presence and expertise was simple amazing! She was completely non-judgmental and supportive as I showed her overflowing closets, an out of control playroom (which we tackled together) and my neglected bedroom. As I sat with her slowly getting rid of outdated kids toys I realized how initially it was difficult to part with 'things' and then how it became easier and easier. We did just one room but I can't stop looking at it and realizing how much better I feel about what we did yesterday. This sounds so obvious now but I didn't realize how important is to feel GOOD about your living space and how your living space directly affects your thoughts, mood, etc. Thank you Shira, I feel like I just started a new chapter and I highly, highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to learn more about organizing, decorating or simply just to feel better when they walk in the door! read more

I have been participating in Shira's "new year resolution" group for the past three months. We meet monthly with a group of lovely women who are diverse, but share the common goal of improving their own lives. With Shira's guidance and encouragement, I have been able to successfully get better in the areas that I have chosen to work on. Her thoughtful questions and frameworks about personal goals and actions have made my resolutions attainable. Thank you, Shira! read more

If you are looking for an organizer, look no further. Shira is OUTSTANDING!! She is not only an amazing organizer, but a joy to work with. As I approached my 30th birthday, I realized that I had clothes and belongings, accumulated over 10 years, that needed to be sorted through. For some reason, I found myself struggling to organize my space. When Shira arrived, the first thing she wanted to do was learn more about me, so that when we cleaned my apartment i would be focused on cultivating that image and person. From there, we went through my entire apartment and donated/threw away everything that no longer fit within my life as a 30 year old. I have never felt so light. Despite getting rid of so much stuff, I feel like I actually have more because I truly enjoy everything in my apartment. Also, i now have time to enjoy the things I really love - for example, instead of spending time searching for clothes, I spend time putting together cute outfits. :) Thank you so much Shira for changing not only my apartment, but my life! read more

I always enjoyed watching shows about interior design and organization but never thought it would be something I could afford or really apply to my life. That is, until Shira came and took stock of my closet. We booked for an initial 3 hour visit and she decided my out of control clothing situation was going to be the focus. My belongings were divided into piles of alterations, to be donated, to be sold, and then by purpose. I am a color-driven person and Shira tailored my opinions and desires into a comprehensive system. She also served as a cool fashion consultant and pointed out items that I should wear more often (!) But best of all, our time spent together has helped me to cut through what I really need and has actually curbed my crazy shopping habit! Shira showed me that I already have so many wonderful pieces--and my new favorite place to shop is my closet! Without the clutter, I don't have to shop because I don't want to wade through my closet. P.S. she also made us a to-do list, a plan for other rooms of my house--and checked in with me afterwards to see how everything was working!!! Thank you Shira! read more

Shira is an absolute dream. I'd been wanting to hire an organizer for years but was looking for someone who could provide beautiful as well as practical organizing solutions. When I saw pictures of Shira's home, I know I'd found the right person and Shira didn't disappoint. She helped me take my home to the next level and now I smile when I open cabinet doors instead of cringing. Shira is super efficient and was able to knock out a lot in a short period of time. She makes what could be a tedious process fun. She also has great instinct and helped me select a few small changes to make in design that had a big impact on the rooms she touched. I would highly recommend Shira to anyone who knows they want their home a certain way but can't quite figure out how to get there on their own. The next time I am feeling overwhelmed by my space, I will definitely be calling Shira! read more

Game-changer! Life-changer! Ambiance-changer! Shira swept in and made our home beautiful and tidy and efficiency-inducing! My husband and I work full time, and then there's our 4-year old. Our closets and kitchen and bedrooms and bathrooms are revitalized! And chic! She's creative and lovely and her style is no-nonsense but also gracious. Money incredibly well spent. DO IT! I might even ask her back for a couple other things! And she even helped to find a great non-profit who'd take my old-but-still-nice suits as part of its women's economic development work. read more

Shira was my gift to myself when I took a new job and committed to making my home workspace functional and pleasant. In the end my work space was somewhat of an afterthought, because Shira helped my whole family develop tools and strategies for managing our clutter. Everyone got in the act: I sorted and tossed, my husband made frequent trips to Salvation Army, the kids enjoy having dance party when they "get to" clean up their stuff. She's now become a verb in our home: when things get out of control I say its time to Shira-ize and everyone knows just what to do! read more

Shira is amazing, and her work has changed our lives! I felt like we were fairly organized before we had kids, but things spiraled out of control in the last few years. Shira has brought us back into order, and our lives are less chaotic for it. (My husband is a bit of a hoarder, so having a third party in the middle was invaluable!) Shira looks at how you live in your space, then helps analyse how to use the space efficiently and easy ways to maintain an orderly existence. We did most of the house - we didn't get through paring everything down in the time we had (we did three, 3-hour sessions), but she gave me ideas for the spaces we weren't able to tackle together. We're going to do the garage soon, but that's a whole separate beast. The feel of having my family of four in a space that is organized and easy to maintain is amazing. She has an amazing design eye. We all seem more serene, and our home looks great. I used to think that I could do this type of thing on my own but having a third-party guide us (and keep us on track) has been terrific. read more

When it became clear that the organizing projects I kept putting off temporarily were never going to happen, I got serious and contacted Shira. I thought "all I need is to be pointed in the right direction, and once I have a plan, the rest will be easy". Our initial consultation was fantastic. Shira is like the perfect combination of a stylist and a personal trainer. She had a vision for my apartment's "best self" and refused to let me make excuses or procrastinate. Even though at the end of our session she left me with a clear map to follow and a timeline, I decided it would be much more fun to complete the process with her by my side. In the end, I was left with an apartment that I actually wanted to spend time in and the tools to keep it up. God forbid the clutter should creep in again I know who my first call will be. read more

Shira is a one-woman organizing machine! She's talented, instinctive and efficient and perfect for this line of work. She quickly understood my style/closet organizational goals and in an instant blew me away with her insight and helped me pull the trigger in letting go of old clothing. This kind of thinking comes naturally to her. Pair that with her confidence and warmhearted personality and she'll whip your life into shape, without a doubt! Bring her in now. read more

I couldn't even walk into my master closet because I had stuffed it full from floor to ceiling. My kitchen was not so bad, but I had numerous utensils and appliances that I never used or needed. Also, my cabinets were overflowing and I had food in the pantry I didn't even know I had because it was hidden behind other items. Shira helped me tremendously! She worked with me to sort, categorize, organize and get rid of things I didn't need. My previously messy, in-disarray kitchen and closet now look fabulous. Shira is thorough, pleasant and efficient. Not only does she help you get your act together, she sets up a system with you that allows you to (importantly) maintain your now-organized rooms and systems over time. Shira also gives you a written list of follow-up items to complete, which was very helpful to me. Hire Shira! You will be so appreciative of your newly organized life. read more

Shira has changed my life. I initially had her come to help me organize the kids' clothes, but every time she works with us, I realize we have another room that could use her touch. The end result is almost like interior decorating that is functional and makes your life simpler. I've also learned so much from Shira. After working with Shira on the kids' closet and the pantry, I tackled my closet and the kitchen drawers on my own using what I learned from her. I now get happy every time I walk into my pantry or open a kitchen drawer. read more
