She literally dove right into the work, and was organizing within minutes of arrival. I hired her specifically for my disaster of a kitchen, and between that and the livingroom it took about 6 hours. She did not take a break, she did not waste time. She was 100% efficient. My kitchen and livingroom including wine and liquor racks have been transformed. I can find EVERYTHING. Everything has a place to go back to. I will certainly engage with her services in the future and will be recommending her to my friends.

She ended up taking away 22 bags of unwanted items and took care of donating them for me. She has followed up with suggestions for storage, packing, and organizing. I will absolutely hire her to come back to help me finish the closet organization project. Even though we are only halfway through, the current state of my closet is a massive improvement!

I swear I cleaned my house ten times a day and it was always a disaster when I turned around. I needed help but had no idea where to start. When I met Lisa Marie, she immediately put me at ease with her warm demeanor (BONUS: she offers discounts for veterans and first responders). I took a chance and reached out. I didn't know if she could help and I had no idea what to expect but IT WAS AWESOME. The words that kept coming to mind while working with Lisa Marie were "thorough" and "magic." How did she do that so fast? I would have never thought of that. She transformed my whole apartment creating a place of calm that I didn't know existed. Now, I walk into my "tiny" apartment and it feels spacious. I spend a couple minutes picking up toys a day and I'm done! Everything has its place so it's so easy. I would recommend this service to anyone that values their time and wants a peaceful environment to raise a family in--you won't regret it!

Tl;dr: Nicoll is AMAZING and clearly knows what she's doing when it comes to professionally…read moreorganizing your home! Read on below if you want more details about the whole process. So...here's the thing about me. I love stuff. I love having a variety of stuff. I love having colorful pens, cute bags, books...you name it, and I probably started collecting some of it at some point. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to have and own those things. But what I did notice was that the sheer amount of that stuff was really starting to stress me out. Things didn't have a place. My closet and dresser and drawers were stuffed to the brim. I found it difficult to enjoy these fun things I owned because they were mixed in with other things I didn't enjoy or use anymore. I found that I was hanging onto so many items for years "just in case," and the case would never arrive. I'd tried for years with things like the minimalist challenge and reading self help books to try and get rid of things, but I couldn't seem to make a dent. That's where Nicoll came in. My partner helped me find Nicoll on Yelp and connected the two of us together. We had an introductory phone call where she asked me some questions, and I shared my frustrations with getting rid of things and really needing help with it. We ended up making an appointment for a week later where she showed up with her toolkit and bag of bags for donations. We did a little walk around and I shared areas of stress for me and what I wanted out of the space, which was to know where everything was and to know what I owned. After the intro assessment we dove right in. In the next few hours we: ⁃ Took EVERYTHING out of my closet and purged SO much of it. We went piece by piece and she helped ask clarifying questions (when did I last wear it? Do I like it?) and could usually pick up on if I actually liked something. I noticed patterns of how I reacted when I loved something vs when I wasn't sure or was sort of convincing myself. This is an exercise I tried doing before on my own, but when there's someone standing there, who you paid to help you, who's not attached to your stuff....let me tell you, it changes the game. I found myself deciding to donate (and sometimes sell) what must have been at least a third of my closet (clothes, hats, bags, electronics, etc). ⁃ She busted out her label maker and helped organize and label shelves in categories that made sense. Now I know where everything is! ⁃ She packed up all the items I decided to donate into bags and packed them into her car. It ended up being about 15 bags of things which was absolutely wild to me. Nicoll taking these bags out of my house was a game changer, because there have been many times I've decided to donate items that just end up sitting there in bags for months! I noticed that night going to bed that my room felt emptier, in a really good way. It felt calmer, cleaner, and like I could breathe a bit easier. Some people might read this and think that they shouldn't have to hire someone to help them organize. I know for myself that I hit a wall when it came to organizing on my own, and I needed to ask for help. I'm so glad I did, because it changed my life and my relationship with "stuff." I'm confident that Nicoll will be able to help you if you need it, and I cannot recommend her enough!

With Liz's incredible skills we de-cluttered, planned amazing projects for plants, curtains, and art in my room, maximized the use of my furniture, created much more space for energy to actually flow here, and of course everything is tidy, cute, and I feel much lighter. I really appreciated how non judgmental, easy, and liberating the process was and the shift in energy it created in my life because our home is where it all begins and ends. Liz is great. Highly recommend.

I had been dreading this project but with more time on my hands than ever during the quarantine, I knew it had to be done and I knew I needed the help of a pro. Liz assessed the space and made a detailed, well thought out plan for me to follow every step of the way. I could tell how much time and dedication she put into creating the plan, and even though she wasn't there in person, her guidance gave me all the tools and support I needed to get the job done. There were moments that the chaos of the garage felt overwhelming and crazy, but every time I referred to her plan I was able to get back on track. She checked in periodically to go over what I had accomplished, answer any questions, and map out the next steps. Liz is a joy to work with and such an effective organizer! I highly recommend her services and think that doing it virtually was a success.

I do not offer organizing services as part of my business, so I needed to find someone REALLY good to refer my clients. After all, my reputation is on the line.

She's not only knowledgeable and full of organizing tips, she is also an expert at handling all of the other "stuff" that comes up around organizing. She's efficient, organized (duh), and just a fabulous person. The name Comfortable Structure couldn't be more fitting.

However, when it came to our own office, I needed some help to get a big picture view and take advantage of every inch in our small office. Virginia came highly recommended from another small business owner, and I could immediately tell why. She not only practices the organization that she preaches, but her philosophy of carefully tailoring advice to fit with each client's preferred way of working makes changes doable and long-lasting rather than overwhelming or short-lived. Things were not totally smooth - after her first visit I still had some confusion about our plan for the furniture layout and was not sure the arrangement was going to allow us access to the things we needed. Virginia works fast in an in-person session and I am used to taking time to mull things over and think through all the details and potential chain reactions. However, when I expressed this to her she immediately offered to come back again for no additional fee. The second meeting she was careful to make sure that all my concerns were addressed before she left, and they were. I now have a concrete plan that I can execute over the next few months to get the office prepared for new employees as we grow. That's one huge weight off my shoulders and now I can focus on the 1,000 other things I need to do. Thanks, Virginia!

Not to be dramatic but Miss Clutter is life changing! I needed help with my living space because it…read morewas cluttered with toys and books and no matter how hard we tried we couldn't keep it organized (we have a 3 and 5 year old) We tried to organize ourselves but it didn't work so I was curious when I discovered Miss Clutter because in my mind I was thinking "what can they do differently" And they exceeded my expectations and it's like they are magic! The first step was Danielle came to our home for the initial assessment which was helpful and so worth the additional cost because she helped us brainstorm so we could get ready for they came for the actual declutter and organization. She just has the eye for where things can go and how to reuse what you have to make it work. She says she's not an interior designer but she does appreciate "eye candy" so to me that's all I want. After meeting with her I knew we wanted to use her and her company to help! Also side note- Danielle is just the sweetest person and when I met her I just felt like she was an old friend that I hadn't seen in a long time, you'll love her! The second step was she gave us a wishlist and we ordered things so it would be here and ready! Danielle was awesome with giving different suggestions for bins ect so that it would match the aesthetic needs I was looking for. She also brought things from the container store on the actual day of the decluttering. The third step was the actual process of cluttering and organizing ! We had Fernanda and Klara come and they were nothing short of spectacular! They were so friendly and kind and loved my kids and dog! They are both hard workers and I know we'll use miss clutter again in the future and I want both of them to come to my home! They were efficient and so organized and had great ideas for items I didn't quite have places for. After the whole process was completed my kids have been able to put things back where they are supposed to go and my living room is not a mess anymore and it honestly feels like a miracle! I can't thank Miss clutter and the whole team enough! I will be using them again in the future and if my husband gifted me miss clutter for a birthday-anniversary I would be thrilled because an organized house = organized mind set = happy wife = happy life

UPDATE: Literally as I posted this review, I got a call from Danielle. She offered me a discount…read morefor the disappointment or her time and expertise for the systems I need in place. I am floored by her customer service and true desire to deliver for her clients. I stand by my experience, but stand by even more by Danielle's desire to deliver to her clients. *** Miss Clutter sends hard-working people to your home to organize things. I was a bit disappointed by the experience, because what I truly needed were systems put in place better than what I already had in place. The lead organizer did suggest a wonderful fix for an issue I had, so I appreciated and was grateful for her thoughts on the kids' art corner. Really grateful fix with furniture I already had in the home. Wonderful win! But I didn't get any other suggestions or any issue-spotting from the lead, nor suggestions on how to improve flow in the home. I suppose my own experience with other declutter businesses--like House of Love with Colleen Collins--outshined this one because I am a tired mom who needs someone to lend their mental energy to figure things out for me: how to better organize the kids' clothes, how to create flow for my own clothes and how to create a more peaceful office. Instead, I found myself directing the helpers on what I wanted because they did not have much to add in terms of solutions or issue-spotting. Even in terms of decluttering, when I asked whether I should get rid of a particular item, the answer was "It is up to you." I know it is up to me, but o need your help. That is why I'm spending thousands of dollars on help: because I am tired and need your advice and help to declutter, and see if I have issues in my home. Danielle said she could see several issues in my home based on the videos I sent her, but I didn't really get any advice on those issues. I suppose that is why it is really helpful having Danielle's input, but she never made it. She said she was going to stop by, but was unable to. I texted her afterwards, and she sent me some entryway products, but that was the extent of her input. Another pain point was when I needed to declutter the kid bookshelf. The lead suggested I look through it and see what I wanted to get rid of. I had to ask her to remove all the books so that I could go through them one by one, then have them put them back. I know it was the end of the day, but we had at least 30 minutes and I was surprised that I had to request them to remove the items. It's hard to declutter a bookshelf when the books are stacked on the shelf. There were other examples of how I had to ask them to remove all the items so I can make decluttering choices. They did not ask whether I had other kid books/clothes/items in any part of the house, so there might have been items that missed review. As long as you come into the situation knowing that it might just be people organizing, you'll have a great experience. They make everything look beautiful and clean. I'm a mom of two kids, so the places that only saw things folded and put back will sadly last for a couple of weeks only, but if that is your aim, then you've found the right business. I hate to write a review like this, because the three people worked SO HARD and were so kind. But I felt like I was sold on one product and given another for the same expensive price tag.

They helped me tackle some messy closets and…read morekitchen storage, sort through what I actually wanted to keep, donate what I no longer needed, and then carefully pack and label everything for my move. What I especially appreciated was how thorough and thoughtful they were. Items were grouped logically, boxes were clearly labeled, donations were taken care of, and they asked questions whenever they weren't sure what I wanted rather than making assumptions. They were also excellent communicators and kept me updated on progress. They also went above and beyond in a number of ways and were very thoughtful about making use of original packaging and storage containers I had saved. When possible, items were packed back into the boxes they came in, with the remaining space used efficiently for related items. I appreciated both the extra care this took and the fact that it helped avoid unnecessary packing materials. Everything was packed carefully, including some delicate items, and nothing was damaged in the move. I primarily used Cloudy to Clear for decluttering and packing, but Claudia also had great organizational advice throughout the process. I was dealing with a move, a renovation, work, and lots of other things at the same time, and having Claudia and Giselle handle this part of the process made an otherwise chaotic and potentially very stressful period significantly easier. I would absolutely recommend Cloudy to Clear. Their expertise, attention to detail, resourcefulness, and practical recommendations were all much appreciated.

In my son's room: my son is growing so fast and many of his clothes no longer fit. Claudia created a system to help me keep his dresser and closet functional. I love the labels in the dresser and folding system that she taught me! In the closet we used a cube organization system and the clothes are hung according to age. For instance 6-9 months. This makes mornings so much easier! 2.) For our garage: I am embarrassed to admit I have kept like way to many birthday cards, art projects, etc. Claudia is super patient and went through every single paper with me. She helped me create a system for when to keep, donate, and when to throw away. I am proud now of my garage. We have clear boxes that are labeled for instance: Halloween or Christmas.

Later, when I saw the 'before' pictures I was amazed that I had been living in such chaos and clutter - clothes pouring out of my closet, hooks heavy with bags belts and scarves I hadn't worn in years, the floor piled with so many shoes and bags I could not walk into my closet. Jane never judged me, or made me feel embarrassed, she just encouraged me to invest in the process. Once we began the sessions, I started to get excited about having less stuff and more space. I did not realize when we began that my entire room would become a sweet little dressing room rather than a junk room/office - but Jane's gentle encouragement helped me see that having a room of my own, free of clutter and stuff, is an extension of self care, good design, and a peaceful and serene life. This has lead to new habits of clearing off my surfaces, putting my clothes away at night, laying out my clothes, and getting enough rest - things I just never cared about because my space (physical and psychic) was so cluttered. Jane is kind, patient, skilled, and encouraging. Her sense of style and design all combine to make her someone I would recommend for any one needing a life design coach.
