I've admired, coveted and (fine, okay) stalked NEAT Method's Instagram for the last several years…read more Finally, I caved and admitted it - I needed help. Brooke, Kim and the NEAT Chicago team helped me during a recent move to organize my "big problem areas" (my words, not theirs) - kitchen, bathroom and entry closet. My previous space *looked* organized, but was really very haphazardly stored - suffice to say, like items were often not with like items, and it resulted in a lot of duplication and chaos. I also was coming off of several years of heavy business travel - resulting in a disaster of a toiletry situation. Tiny. Bottles and Samples. Errrrywhere. Kim and her team spent one blissful Friday basically fixing my life: they arrived in the morning, spent some time talking through my needs/wants/life/perceived problem areas, and then they got to work and I went off to handle bridesmaids duties for a friend's wedding. Eight hours later, I came home from the rehearsal dinner to a choir of imaginary angels singing the moment I opened my front door... Everything had a logical and easily accessible home! I could find things again! They removed some duplicates at my request and donated them, which was a helpful time-saver for me, and left some other duplicates (mainly travel toiletries) in a great new system so I can see, access and use the products I have - and never get into the chaos of my previous situation ever again. If you are even remotely considering hiring them (which I'd imagine you are, since you're here and reading this), do it now. It's absolutely worth the investment, and I'm already brainstorming what other areas of my life they could improve - I'll 100% be using them again.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but Kathryn's work was beyond what I could have imagined. She first…read moreorganized our dining room, which also functions as an art room, game/toy storage, and homework area. With a little bit of direction, she created workable systems that my family and I could use to return the space to zero after craft projects, imaginative play marathons, study sessions, and meals. She has a practical focus on function both for spaces and items - how do you use this? where do you like to do this? - and can envision the way things will fit together and how you will use them. I kept saying, "I never would have thought of that!" when she showed me how she had organized/stored something in a new-to-me way that just made sense. She has now come back twice and organized a hall closet (that houses medicine, linens, cleaning supplies, and travel items), our pantry closet, and almost all of our kitchen cabinets. The spaces in my home that Kathryn has organized are now the most functional, and my most favorite to use. Instead of feeling stressed trying to put away dishes in crowded cabinets, or spending time hunting around for what I need to bake or pack lunches, everything is right at my fingertips, clearly labeled so I can easily reset. Additionally, Kathryn is just a lovely person to have in your home. She's empathetic, kind, and brings warmth to her work. I cannot recommend her highly enough. You will not regret hiring Kathryn.

I had a 3-hour session with Sarah. My condo was being renovated at the time, so I had furniture…read moreeverywhere and people clanging and hammering upstairs. Sarah was great! I have a little IGTV show, and she was cool with being a part of it. We cleaned one side of my SUPER cluttered closet. And she gave me homework to work on the other sides. She would hand me boxes, I'd go through them and separate into shred, donate, garbage, recycle, or keep, and hand them back and we worked like that for the entire 3 hours. It's been maybe a month since she came and that side of my closet still looks like the day she left. It's kinda weird to have a stranger come into your house and help you go through your clutter, but just remember, they are there to help, not to judge. I'm only giving 4 stars because I sent a message saying I wanted her to come back and I just never heard back from them anymore. I'm thinking my place was probably tooooooo much of a cluster for her. EEK!!!

I am a hot mess. Not…read morereally, but my apartment is. I have searched high and low for home organizing services. All of them were too expensive. I'm not going to pay someone $65 per hour to purge my closet and organize my 250 sq. studio. I found SOS on Yelp. The 5-star reviews seemed questionable but after my experience, they deserve them! I started with a 3-hour appointment with Callie. She's an absolute doll. I am amazed by her creative organizing solutions! We went through my walk-in closet and kitchen. It helps to help. I couldn't just sit back and watch her organize my belongings. It can be tedious, but it's worth it! We accomplished A LOT. I couldn't have done it without her. I just don't have the motivation or drive. I can see my floor again! I found my favorite sweater! Everything makes sense now! I love, love, LOVE how organized my apartment is. I am so happy I found SOS and met Callie! I finally got it done! Plus: It feels nice coming home now.

I've had an amazing organizer for the past few years, but months ago she told me she was focusing 100% on her interior design business. I've been missing her and living in clutter ever since. Weeks ago I hit my breaking point and started looking for highly recommended organizers in the area. Dana was super responsive and said she could help in July, but then ended up finding 2 earlier days in May. Whoo hoo. I sent her a bunch of pics of the rooms that were bothering me the most (2 of my kids) and she emailed me what to buy from target and the container store ahead of time. Organizing day arrived and Dana showed up bright and early with her equally fabulous sidekick Lauren. I started them with the easier project - my 10 year old son's room. By the time they left at 3pm later that day his room was functional again. And once it was organized i was inspired to go thru some of his older brother's clothes to see what he could wear for summer and get rid of the stuff that was getting small on this fast growing child. And then the difficult project...my shopaholic 15 year old's closet. An organizer i used many years ago told me my house was as organized as it could possibly be as long as i kept my daughter. And with age her shopping habits and lack of organizational skills have gotten worse. I even had to turn a linen closet into a sweatshirt closet for her last year! I think Dana and Lauren were slightly scared, but after many hours (and some decluttering- filled a ThredUP back!) they managed to fit all her clothes AND sweatshirts into her closet. It's been a few days and I've seen my daughter wear a bunch of clothes I haven't seen in awhile so I think she even enjoyed finding some old favorites once she could see what was in her closet. And she admitted she liked having an organized closet, which is as positive as it gets when i comes to a 15 year old. It ended up being an expensive few days between their hourly rate and supplies, but nothing beats having an organized household. Dana and Lauren are booked for many months, but I grabbed another spot on their calendar for a few days in August to tackle the closet of the 2nd messiest person in my household: my husband.

My friends and neighbors took notice (and listened to me rave about her) and have utilized her services as well. Excellent organizer, great personality, high recommended!

She made suggestions that were functional and look stylish, as well as helped us declutter. The second appointment was virtual (my preference) due to COVID cases in our area. She was very effective at helping us square away our nursery and baby supply storage in general around our house. The nursery turned out Pinterest perfect and the storage was strategic to make caring for a newborn as convenient as possible! Holly was incredibly helpful, and professional, listened to our specific needs and came to both appointments well-prepared with custom solutions for our unique home and circumstances. She actually made organizing fun! I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!

We gave her a throw blanket as a starting off point for our bedroom, and she picked a few paint and carpet options that were perfect and that, most importantly, we never would have chosen without her help. She also helped coordinate new paint and towels and a more modern look for our master bath. You just don't know what you don't know in interior decorating. We were not interested in creating the thousand row spreadsheet and Houzz accounts for this project so felt we got a great return for Katie's reasonable fee.
