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.

I highly recommend Garage Design Source for all of you garage and storage needs...

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.

The situation: I live in a studio apartment with minimal built-in storage space (1 drawer,…read morecomically high cabinets - I'm 5'1", 1 closet), and I am clueless about design and making things look nice. As a result, I had piles of things everywhere. Containers and cooking implements would topple over and onto my head constantly. Drawers were overflowing with clothes. This was not a cute look. The task: Create storage solutions that look nice and allow me to cook frequently with ease and live comfortably--maybe even entertain occasionally!--within this 400 square foot home. Enter Amy: Miracle worker! Amy has always been able to translate my incoherent ideas and goals into beautiful, streamlined solutions. She is attentive and asks all the right questions to ensure that what we're implementing fits my lifestyle and quirks. When I whine that I have no idea how to organize the door of my fridge and could she please come help me, she does so without complaint or judgment. [insert heart emoji - Yelp wouldn't let me add it] The result: I now have a beautifully minimalist, airy small home that feels plenty spacious and peaceful to me. I can cook with ease; everything is within reach and tidy. In addition, Amy helped me select some design elements that make the space look pretty, cozy, and lived in. AND! With a few spare minutes after one session, she even helped me organize my gmail, which had been causing me dread and overwhelm. Now my inbox is tidy and actionable! I feel like a grown-up. 10/10 would recommend. Amy is talented, professional, and well worth the investment. The services she provides are priceless and have improved my life, productivity, and emotional wellbeing immeasurably. Thank you, Amy!

We talked beforehand about…read moreour kitchen habits such as which small appliances we use most and least frequently, or how I use certain food items (baking vs everyday use). My husband was home to unpack other rooms and would answer some of her questions, but she would text throughout the day to get my input on things as well. She created a very functional coffee station; an easy-to-use spice cabinet separating the sweet spices, savory spices, and spice mixes; and got a little turntable to put next to the stove with the four items we use the most while cooking. My favorite part about working with Amy is how she did a walk-through when she was done and explained her thought process so that we can stay organized on our own. This is the first time in my life I haven't dreaded unloading the dishwasher or unpacking groceries. I actually enjoy cleaning up the kitchen almost as much as cooking in it.
