Succeed we did. Totally worth the price. I looked at the cardboard boxes and unfinished projects and dust from a recently remodelled bathroom. I felt hopeless. Some of the piles were over a year old. Amy brought hope and energy and kept us moving. We tackled corner after corner and after three hours we had two bedrooms ready. Amy gave me hope that we could do even more to make my life with objects more pleasant. I listened to organizing blogs on the internet. A month later I ventured up into my attic and looked around and thought, "It's possible!" and called Amy to come back for another session.

Amy met with me for a free initial consultation, helped me prioritize my organizing needs and told me some things I could do to get a head start. On her first visit, she worked with me for three hours and completely transformed my cluttered dining room/office into a workable space. She came again for two more hours and helped me organize my bedroom. She had great ideas for reorganizing my dressers and closet. Two months later, I am still clutter free and using her system. Amy was a huge help, very efficient and non judgmental. She was easy to work with and her solutions for storage really worked. She helped me get rid of a lot of things I didn't need and made it easy for me to know what to do with them. I really appreciated her help and I highly recommend her.

Furniture needed to fit together just right, and available storage was very limited. I also wanted to refresh my interior style and replace all my IKEA pieces with better-made ones, but was also working on a budget. After getting a total brain cramp from trying to figure it out on my own, I reached out to Jill after reading her great Yelp reviews. Jill's thoughtful design of my limited space (literally, down to the inch) allowed me to fit in all the seating and storage space I need and still keep the space airy and open. Her knowledge of the best stores, manufacturers and styles for my vision and budget ended up saving me a lot of money and headaches in the long run. We've had a lot of fun working together with Pinterest boards, sharing ideas and looking at colors. Not only has Jill helped with this project enormously, but she taught me so much about decorating and design in the process. And her price is certainly fair for a professional service. I've been recommending Jill to every friend who moves in to a new place. If you're considering getting help with your home, definitely call her for a consultation!

For weeks we lived on an air mattress and plastic folding chairs, then one day we found Jill's awesome website and gave her a call. She came over, saw our sad state of affairs and got to work immediately. From the beginning, Jill really got what we liked and didn't like, helped us organize and clarify our sometimes vague and scattered ideas, and was very accurate in estimating our costs and timeline. She was hands-on and responsive, and she took a lot of pressure off us by arranging painters, handymen and furniture orders. Jill is so great at what she does. In a short period of time, she transformed our ho-hum empty apartment into an awesome space that's totally comfortable yet always ready for a fancy party. We love having people over now!

She's my go to for keeping by business space productive and efficient. It took the pandemic and me spending more time at home to realize I should hire Grace to rework my home space. My husband and I inherited a compact custom home three years ago. It's unique design and lack of storage space has been irritating and frustrating. The home simply didn't function for a busy family. When the shelter in place order happened I grew very irritated with the house. I'm grateful to have a home, I would like to enjoy it. I finally called up Grace. When we restrictions eased Grace came over and assessed the house. She patiently listened as I went through all the things which were really driving me nuts at that point. She had me tell her exactly how I use each space. She came up with space and time savings solutions. She really made my whole home flow. I can't believe the difference it has made! I enjoyed my space so much I decided to remodel our kitchen. I consulted Grace when purchasing cabinets and items for the kitchen. I have a completely different home thanks to Grace!! She's also extremely sensitive to my privacy. Having people go through my drawers and heirlooms can be awkward. Grace is professional and kind. I would absolutely recommend Grace to a friend. My family loves her so much they are hiring her to work on my mother-in-law's home.

My home has become even more cluttered than it was, and with 4 people in the house pretty much all of the time, more clutter has led to more stress! Grace certainly had her work cut out to help me tackle months of clutter buildup on top of years of "maybe we will need this someday" storage. She recommended starting with the bedroom so that we would have a relaxing, restful hideaway (from the kids? from the clutter? Both.). Grace has a gentle but firm method to guide her clients into decluttering, which is a perfect fit for me. I really want to get rid of things but often have trouble letting go - either because of sentimental attachment or the "what if I need it next week" ideas that my brain loves to throw at me. Grace provides clarity and guidance but also respects when I clearly say I am not ready to part with something. Her guidance and energy have helped me to continue decluttering between sessions too. Towards the end of a session (we typically meet for 3 hours), we discuss ideas for our next meeting. That always gives me a bit of a boost to get started on smaller areas in between. I am grateful that we found Grace and would highly recommend her to anyone who is ready for some help to declutter and set up better organizational flow within their home.

Before making a decision, I researched high and low, and spoke with multiple estate sale planners. After doing my homework, I chose Katie and Changing Places. She was the one who actually listened, and the difference was obvious. Katie has clearly done this many times, and it shows in every conversation. I came in expecting a full estate sale, and she was transparent with me that very few items in the house would draw the interest we anticipated. The house was full of things that made it home to me, and the market did not see it the same way. She told me that plainly and gave me a real plan instead: clear the house, and handle the few larger pieces myself through other channels. She could have run the sale and taken the fee. She provided a path forward in a true consultative manner. That honesty carried through every interaction that followed. She was responsive, she was clear about what to expect, and every recommendation felt guided by what was best for me rather than what was best for the business. To say Katie and the entire Changing Places organization operate with integrity and character would be an understatement. In today's environment, that is both refreshing and worthy of being recognized. Anyone who has settled a parent's affairs knows how little energy you have left to push back on anyone, and she never made me spend any of it. I could not have been more pleased with my decision. If you are facing this daunting task, I wholeheartedly recommend Katie and Changing Places. I will always be grateful for their honesty, compassion, and guidance during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.

They were patient, sensitive, incredibly efficient and thorough throughout the entire process. Katie did an on-site walk through and answered all of our questions. Sam and her team not only acted as the liaison for aligning us with the appropriate movers, consignment house, charities for donations, but were very conscientious about things NOT ending up in the landfill. They packed, wrapped and boxed all of the items inside of the house (not a small job!), and even offered to take our AT+T box back to be recycled. We were sent photos of the house at the end of each day-showing it had been secured, were provided a re-cap of what had been done, and the plan for the following day. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with a large and emotional job.
