We moved into a new house when I was seven months pregnant. The pantry, closet, and laundry room were a disaster and Amber turned them into my favorite spaces. It's so easy to find what I need immediately because everything has a labeled space. I didn't realize how much stress the disorganization was causing me until Amber worked her magic. I breathe a sigh of relief every time I go into my closet -- something I've never been able to do before! So grateful for Amber and The Detailed Life team! read more

Kat and team helped me with a major downsize move recently, and I truly don't know what I would've done without them. First, they showed up to help me trudge through the terrible job of purging and got me super organized. The painful process was somehow made doable by Kat and her team (shout out to Emmerie!), with their firm but gentle persistence to get it all done. They really kept me on task/gave direction when I needed to sift through things which was incredibly helpful. Otherwise when I had to work or was busy with my kids they never seem to waste a minute. Moving with two toddlers was completely overwhelming, but they unpacked and got us organized in the new house in just two days. I called them back to organize the garage I'd managed to stuff full with overflow and in just a day they had it all perfectly purged, sorted and stacked. They showed up on-time and worked without stopping aside from a short lunch break (which was always fun getting to chat with them) -which was quite impressive given the slog I put them through. They are delightful and super enjoyable and easy to work with, I cannot recommend this crew highly enough!! read more

10/10 recommend Katrin. She made my closet & bathroom look INCREDIBLE!!! I get so much satisfaction with having my things organized, but never know where to start. Katrin came to the rescue. Can't say enough positive things. Check her out if you're ready for some A+ organization that's easy to maintain!! read more

We couldn't be more pleased with the service received from The Detailed Life team. From initial consultation, through the full day garage declutter and organization project, they were nothing but responsive, professional, and kind. My husband and I have tried on many occasions to tackle this project on our own, but never succeeded due to lack of time and energy. However, in just one short day, we completely transformed the space with their help and now have a streamlined organization system for all of our needs. What normally would have been a multi day project resulting in physical and mental exhaustion, ended up being the easiest and most stress-free home project we have ever done. We are looking forward to future projects with Kat and her team in the future! read more

Kat and her team were amazing to work with and I'm so glad that I found her! She made the organization process so easy and our home is completely transformed. Everything has a place and it looks less cluttered. It has made our kitchen feel more functional. I'd highly recommend The Detailed Life team! read more

I cannot recommend Katrin highly enough. She is so talented, detail oriented, thoughtful in her approach, and fun to work with! I needed almost everything in my home organized, and she was able to come up with a unique approach that allowed me to do some preparation on my own and bring her in for the heavy lifting. It is the best investment I've ever made. As I continue to work on my home, I will definitely be using her again. I would also recommend her, without reservation, to anyone. Whether you have a million dollar space that needs a high end and detailed finish, or you have more conservative organizational needs- it's clear Katrin has the talent and skill to execute both beautifully. Katrin was responsive, on time, communicated well, set realistic expectations, and was flexible as the needs of the project evolved. While some of my areas were more basic in their needs, some I really wanted a high end and finished look- she executed both extremely well. I now not only have a beautiful space, even behind closed cabinets, but a functional system that I can realistically maintain and continue to expand as needed. She completed my laundry room, pantry, kitchen cabinets, art space, closet, bathroom, and linen closets. All of them are perfection! If you're on the fence about this type of help, reach out and let Kat help you find a solution that works. I was so nervous about whether this was a good move, and now I know it absolutely was! read more

Highly recommended! Kat took the time to really understand our needs and the team did a brilliant job.

I hired Kat and her team to help improve and organize my kitchen and laundry room, the two smallest rooms in the house that need to be the most functional. Kat was incredibly thorough and helpful, and made the process as painless as possible. The final result has been a streamlined kitchen with a pantry that is finally functional! The contractor she arranged for installing the cabinetry and shelving in the laundry room is also very hands on and a thoughtful perfectionist. Overall a positive experience! read more

I've worked with Kat for several years, and she is my go-to professional home organizer. I recommend her to my real estate clients and have hired her for my own home. She and her team provide exceptional service from the initial consultation to completion of the project. Her attention to detail, planning and projecting the final outcome of each area of home organizing exceeds expectations. I can personally say she made my move go much more smoothly by providing her packing and organizing expertise. She recommended the perfect organizing features to use the space my new home more efficiently. I highly recommend Kat and The Detailed Life! read more

Kat and her team are rockstars!! Moving sucks. Like a lot of other people, our new build was significantly delayed and we ended up moving 3 times in 2 years. I would be perfectly happy to never see another moving box or bubble wrap-ever! They were on time and just got to work. Unpacked, broke down boxes, organized the entire kitchen and pantry, master bathroom and closet and it's amazing! They spend time to ask just enough questions regarding preferences, but they are real pros and use common sense to put things in logical order, but even better!! I highly recommend The Detailed Life. It was worth every penny...and then some. read more

Kat changed our lives yesterday with a full 8 hour garage project! I knew I could trust her when I met her on consultation, and she was great to work with. I look forward to having her back for projects inside the house. She helped us part with so much we didn't need, stayed focused, motivated and positive through a whoooole lot of junk, and we were really proud of the finished product. Thank you thank you! read more

As a business owner, it's hard enough to keep my calendar and desktop organized so my home gets neglected. However, when I use to organize myself i spent hours getting sidetracked or OCD looking at old pictures or trying things on vs throwing them away. When it comes down to it, I realized I'm just not a good at organizing, decluttering and getting back to the basics, that is when I hired Kat. Kat, swooped in with professionalism, respect but also with her eye on the prize of getting me simplified like I asked. My kitchen drawers went from looking like a hurricane and tornado went to war in my place to being immaculate (in-law visit ready) Kat was on-time, efficient and her decluttering was unobtrusive. The best part was, that it wasn't overly complicated and logical. Meaning, I could maintain keeping it organized so I didn't fall back into my old ways, at least not nearly to the extent of the madness it was. Afterwards, I was happier, clear headed and made me better at my job. The ROI was well worth the investment. So much so, I hired Kat to do this for my mom's bday and she's been forever thankful. Thanks Kat, I wish I would have had you years ago! read more

I recommend Kat really highly. She helped me turn my very chaotic office into a relaxing place to be, with only two short visits and a 100% good vibe. I was afraid it would be hard to let things go, but Kat lets you make the decisions, while putting a strong, good influence on you. She designed my new modular closet system, but with my new habits, I haven't even filled it half full. read more

Kat is just what I was looking for! She has helped me organize almost every room in my house and it has really helped with the flow of everyday life. She is a perfectionist and leaves everything just right - just how I want - and she keeps in mind the systems that will work best for my family with 4 kids. She never forces her ideas but always has really good ones to offer. I thought I would use her for just one project but it was so good that both my husband and I knew we wanted her to help us transform more spaces! The kitchen is now my favorite - I cook a lot and the way she placed things and organized them for easy access was brilliant! The garage is next! Kat is amazing! And she's also just a really cool person to talk to! read more

They did a great job packing up our stuff in an organized fashion and asked questions where appropriate. There was a lot of art and other hanging things to be wrapped and they took their time wrapping with bubble wrap to ensure that they'll be good for the move. However I do feel taken advantage of by Kat. I asked if it would make sense to pack over 2 days to make it easier on them since it was a lot of stuff, so why not spread it out? She said they could definitely do that, but didn't bother telling me that meant that the higher hourly rate for a lead would be charged for both days. When I asked why our invoice was so much higher than the original quote (she charged us over 17% more than what she quoted), she told me it was because the moving boxes were all in the garage so that added time (we totally could have moved them ourselves if we knew that was an issue) and that the lead was charged for both days. I responded that when I had asked about doing it over 2 days, that would have been something that would have been good to know, because I wouldn't have had them do it that way if I knew. Her response was that it was "in their service agreement." So now I feel like she didn't tell me intentionally so that she would make more money. Again, I think they did a great job with the packing and I loved the girls that came to help her out for our packing, just feel taken advantage of with how much more we're having to pay than what she quoted us. Moves are expensive, and adding an additional 17% on to this was not in our budget! read more

Kat came to organize my closet which not only was an absolute mess, but filled with far too many clothes. Each step of the way with Kat was A+.... from communication about hangers to buy to shuffling around the initial layout of the closet to advising on other folks we should work with to the final perfect, all just a really great experience. The final product was jaw droppingly good and i will absolutely continue to work with her and her team. Highly recommend. read more

Before Kat, I had never worked with a professional organizer and now I wish I had done this sooner. I found working with her to be delightful. She was professional, on-time, worked efficiently and provided me with great organizational as well as design advice. I plan to have her help me with any future moves as her services helped me to avoid feeling overwhelmed and freed me up to work on other things. read more

The details live did a wonderful job organizing several areas of my daughter's apartment. This is stainable systems they put in place have encouraged her to continue organizing the remainder of her apartment. Communication was timely and the pricing was fair read more

I hired The Detailed Life to organize my teenage daughter's room. They showed up to assess the situation and provided a reasonable estimate. A day or two later, they sent me online links to sites that sell the organizing tools and supplies (like hangers, a dresser, etc.) they recommend I get for my daughter's room. Then, the day of, they showed up on time and did a great job. No surprises, just great service. I highly recommend them for your next project. read more

I found Katrin via Yelp. After a recent move, our garage was in disarray. Unfortunately, neither of us had the time to make it better. I contacted Katrin via Yelp and she responded quickly. She set up a time to scope out the garage and she provided a range of the costs. Katrin provided me a set of pre-work that would make it easier for the space to be organized. One week later, Katrin arrived and like magic she transformed our garage into a functional place. What I appreciated the most is that she worked with what we had and then provided us a list of items we could purchase to further improve organization. I've already recommended Katrin. Even my husband who was originally opposed to hiring an organizer is happy we did. Kudos Katrin! read more

Kat/The Detailed Life is amazing and we couldn't be happier with our kitchen and master bathroom closet/bathroom re-org. It truly makes finding things and keeping organized so so much easier. I reached out to Kat a week before Christmas to see if she could do our kitchen before we had family come to stay...she came for a consultation the next day, ordered all of the items we would need and reorganized everything within a week. It was so easy and quick. Highly recommend! read more

Kat is amazing. I needed help with my ridiculously messy pantry and kitchen. It took an entire day, but Kat turned the mess into a beautifully organized space and she did it effortlessly. I can't recommend her highly enough and we will definitely contact her again if we need to!! read more

The Detailed Life might be a good fit if you have a large budget for a space and you don't mind them padding the service agreement with line items and don't mind them going over their time without communicating. There were a few issues I had starting with the assistant not calling me to let me know she was leaving my house after a misunderstanding in communication with my husband about start time and expectations. This lead in a two hour charge charge even though I was calling the owner and the assistant within the hour she left to come back and please start. The supply items the assistant had me order were not sufficient for our needs in that the day of the rescheduled project I had to buy twice as many hangers, baskets we had never mentioned , a second drawer and the shoe rack was too small for the space leaving most of my shoes at the top of my closet where I can't reach. This would have still been ok except I got charged for an hour of design and consultation for this that simply did not happen and was not sufficient / adequate for our needs and was NOT in the contract. We were also we quoted a noon stop time and the owner and and assistant were annoyed we wanted to wrap up everything by 1pm and finish anything undone after That ourselves. But by this time we had a padded consult fee no one told us about until we were reading invoice (closet consultation was supposed to be free) two hours of cancelation time on the invoice even though I was calling to have her come back within the hour, ended up with far too few supplies and a bad taste in my mouth for an unapologetic owner, a few low key insults from Them , and a project that wasn't managed great. I like the idea of this but I would recommend another company (there's various on Yelp) and also inquire about design fees not spelled out on a contract and time expectations that everyone can respect and abide by so you don't leave disappointed with the value added). read more

Kat was a joy to work with! She's friendly, easy to work with, and reliable! She did a fabulous job on our master closets! She organized them in a way that makes it easy to find things while still looking beautifully organized. We will definitely have her back for our next project! read more

Best investment ever!!!! If you are looking for some one that can organize your house, apartment, office...Kat is the BEST!!!! I found her on yelp just looking for home organizers, I reached out to her and got a respond pretty quick. Over the phone she asked me a couple questions and explained what she could do. I had a feeling she was going to be good but I was wrong...she was AMAZING!!! She is very meticulous, profesional and fast to organize anything you need. She not only did a great job organizing my new apartment, she literally made my life more pleasant and easy because now I know where things are. Don't hesitate and call her! Thank you Kat for all your help! read more

This was my first time hiring someone to help me organize and it was well worth it. Katrin was amazing and great to go through the process with. She was easy to talk to and not judgmental as we went through my belongings. I will definitely use her again for future projects and wish I had called her sooner! read more

Absolutely amazing! I love the Detailed Life's work and I'm looking forward to having their help on more organizing! Can't thank them enough for their efficiency and thoughtfulness, a joy to have in our home! read more

Couldn't be happier with Kat and her team at The Detailed Life. They came over to evaluate my kitchen situation. They were very observant as to what I had in my kitchen, asked questions about my daily activities in the area, and my cooking habits and patterns. This wasn't just about getting organized. The Detailed Life crew is about making sure they are organizing to your lifestyle. Everything flows so much better and looks great! read more

Katrin is THE BEST ORGANIZER. She is also fun to work with, and easy-going. She has great style which was very important along with her skills to have everything find it's place and then (and this is the miraculous part) STAY THERE. I think this might be the hardest part - being creative enough to design a system that is beautiful and also works. She also helped me find supplies that were sustainable and not just a crock of plastic. If i could give her 80 thumbs up I would. read more

I highly recommend this service it's totally worth it!! The team did an amazing job on my home, they organized my pantry, my closet's and my bathroom so organized and it's easy to find everything not only do they have an aesthetic eye for design to make it look beautiful but it's functional. read more

I had a great experience working with Rachel--part of Kat's team. I contacted Kat by phone and was impressed by her quick response. She set me up with Rachel who helped me purge and organize my garage and attic, kitchen cabinets and two storage closets inside my house. We worked several days. Rachel kept me focused and moving forward. I loved her organizational skills and benefited from her practical advice. She was fun and made a dreaded task feel easier! read more

Kat is truly amazing with her organizational skills. It's a very natural aptitude for her. She's intuitive and incredibly thoughtful at the same time. I'd easily give 6 stars if possible. read more

My husband and I hired Kat to help with our pantry, laundry room, and garage initially, but we were instantly so impressed with her creative and sustainable solutions that we asked for her help in closets and the office too. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Kat and her assistant Amber every single second. Kat first provided a consultation where she measured spaces and talked with us about our goals and how we use our various spaces. She sent us an email with specific items to consider getting to help with organizing the exact areas we talked with her about. We LOVED her ideas! She has so many perfect products in mind that I had never known existed. Her ideas and execution of them simply astounded us with how she took drawers and cupboards that had many items in them, and she organized them into ideal zones. Her methods make sense. Her systems not only work, but they are beautiful too. My sister came over after she worked on our pantry and laundry room and said everything looked better than what she has seen on Pinterest. Kat and Amber also worked wonders in our garage. We had many things shoved into one corner, and they worked efficiently and diligently to conquer the mess we had made! We marvel in the areas they have touched. My husband describes that the pantry, laundry room, and garage now give him peace. He loves opening up his desk drawers and seeing perfect organization. We are so thankful that we worked with Kat. Her ingenious ideas have transformed how we do our daily lives. We highly, highly recommend her and The Detailed Life. Her help has blessed our lives, and it was simply a pleasure to work with her! We will continue to consult with her and rely on her expertise to make our lives more organized! You will be amazed by Kat and her team! read more

This is something I should've done A LONG time ago! It only took me 2 kids and moving to a different state to realize that I needed help organizing my life! I can honestly say that I would recommend Kat to anyone. She's great to work with and really understood what I needed (more than I did!). Detailed Life gets an easy 5 stars from me and I'm not a very easy customer to please. Thanks Kat! read more

I have worked with multiple professional organizers, and I can honestly say that Kat was the best. She is thorough and detailed is the perfect word to describe her work. She is honest and delivers quality, lasting results. read more

Kat was a God sent! I recently moved and needed some help getting my things unpacked and organized, especially my garage. She came out and helped me figure out a system of organization for my things that just makes sense. We didn't just find places for everything but she made sure things were in places that were appropriate and easily accessible if needed. Since she did this for me, it has been very easy to keep it that way. I was SO overwhelmed with everything but she came in and made it all doable. I am so grateful for her service. Money well spent let me tell you; she really has an eye for this stuff!! read more
