HELP!--I have too much stuff! Those were my first words to Kathy when I contacted her to help me…read moreget organized. I can see the benefit of moving every few years to keep the possessions down to a reasonable limit--but in my case it's more like 50 years of accumulation since I took over the family home almost 25 years ago. Dad's stuff, my stuff, my son's stuff, my wife's stuff--a story behind every item. "Critical mass" hit finally a couple of years ago. I know I have two of whatever it is I'm looking for, but can't find either one in all the full closets, full drawers crowded work bench, and jumbled up storage sheds. Habit Trails were starting and I could see myself on that Hoarding TV show in a few more years--YIKES! It was certainly easier to just give up and sit down to watch TV, letting my possessions own and control me, rather than the other way around! Kathy from Moore Balance Organizers to the rescue! Working one section at a time (the garage was killer and took about 4 episodes), I've been donating and throwing away things for two months now. Don't worry, she will haul the stuff off, inventory it, and deal with it so you don't have to second-guess your decisions or make multiple trips to the dump or the thrift store. Two or three hours at a time is as much as I can stand, and I'm getting more relaxed after every weekly session. We're not done yet, but it's certainly getting better. She will check the day before the appointment to make sure it's still on, then show up on time, and keep me focused and things moving along--leaving behind an orderly, organized, workable environment that was formerly a chaotic, crowded jumble of despair. I don't now how many times I've said "AHA--there that is! I've been looking for that!". Get on her schedule to help with clutter control, moving, downsizing, organizing-- all of that fun stuff that's easy to put off till it's out of control--Moore Balance Organizers will fix you up. Pleasant conversation provided at no extra charge! ---A happily de-cluttered customer (a work in progress)

They have a discount based on how long an item is in store, but trust me, don't sleep on it if you want it. It's probably going to be gone when you go back if you're waiting for the price to drop. Furniture is great there, prices are reasonable. I've also gotten great deals on art and pottery. I do wish the staff was a bit warmer, but they are really nice once the credit card comes out! Lol

We decided 2Buy a new home & had a contract 2Sell the Ouray home in an 188-Acre Conservancy. We drove 2Another resort area instead of flying (due to CoVid). Our Sitter was living there & aware of noon appt for Inspector. Our Realtor would be there 2Let in Inspector. We'd driven 1100 miles when our Sitter called 2Say "a Designer arrived 2Meet w/ you an hour early." Actually, her appt was w/ PROSPECTIVE owner. Woman & her partner, an older male, were an hour early. My sitter texted that she felt uncomfortable, especially w/ the man in the house when she was trying 2Get ready 2Leave for a few hours w/ our dogs during inspection. I immediately called & said these were NOT my contacts & they needed 2Wait outside until my broker arrived at appt time. I told our middle-twenties Sitter 2Have the woman call me & called our broker 2Say no one was allowed in house without her present & she agreed. While I was speaking w/ broker,GRAMER did call but I couldn't answer. I did use the phone# 2Attempt 2Reach her. She didn't answer. I identified myself as the Owner on message & explained that no one was allowed in my home until our agent was on premise & this was too great a responsibility for our Sitter who was trying 2Get ready 2Leave at 12. I called our Sitter who said Linda & the man whom she felt was "creepy" were taking measurements. I asked Sitter 2Put the woman on the phone as my call went to voicemail. I again said that she was early & could not be in our home without our broker & it was 2Much responsibility for the Sitter who thought she was doing her employers, us, a favor. I imagined that was the end of the exchange. After the appt ended, I received a call that Mrs. GRAMER was rude to our broker but the new prospective owner was embarrassed & apologized for GRAMER's early arrival & the inconvenience it caused our Sitter.Again I thought that was the end of the exchange until 4 days later I received a call during our trip. Apparently, GRAMER had forgotten my Texas Cell number was associated w/ message for her 2Leave my rural lake house for an hour until my broker & her client were on premise for appt. There are only 24 homes allowed in Conservancy near Ouray; stranger are not welcome to the private lake/creek acreage. Linda reached me 2Say I'd called her business # & ask what I wanted. I explained that she'd previously spoken 2Me on Monday when I asked her 2Leave until my broker arrived. Linda told me how "unaccommodating" & rude my broker was not to immediately come 2Allow her to remain inside an hour early & to further blame my Sitter for not telling her at 1st 2Wait elsewhere. I said no, it was not our Sitter's fault but rather hers for arriving an hour early. LINDA said she didn't know how long it would take over Million Dollar Hwy/Red Mountain Pass even in summer. That is understandable & I told Linda so but told her if I had been home, getting ready for leaving in 1 hour for Inspection, I would NOT have let her in. GRAMER without acknowledging her fault for arriving an hour early, again said how our agent was not nice for telling her to leave until 12. I mentioned that we are not her only clients & she was w/ clients on Log Hill Mesa 40 mins away until 12. Linda said our Sitter should've handled things differently & I again said "We are not putting this on her when you arrived early without Jeff your Client.". Linda was taking ZERO responsibility for her actions & complaining about people we appointed in Colorado in 2019 2Take care of our property/animals. My sister in law (in room) was aghast that someone who was not even our designer would argue w/ me about our employee/broker. My husband was worried that our place was about 2Be robbed when Sitter called + texted that the older man seemed "creepy". GRAMER caused us, our Sitter & our broker discomfort/inconvenience that she will not acknowledge much less apologize for. 3rd time GRAMER said IF Sitter had done things differently, incident could've been avoided, again w/ no admission that she arrived way early 2Gain access 2Our home, I finally told her that older man w/ her not only made our Sitter uncomfortable but seemed "creepy". INDIGNANTLY, GRAMER said that was her "husband & HE HAS A Phd!" I wasn't trying 2Hurt her feelings but GRAMER is clueless about even blunt critiques of her behavior & lack of diplomacy/verbal skills dealing w/ someone who COULD have hired her. LINDA seems bitter & lacks basic people skills much less PR skills to deal w/ physicians, lawyers & business owners who'd need her services.What is UNFORGIVABLE about GRAMER of SCRIMSHAWS Interiors, is the 3rd time she complained about Sitter/broker & I said you aren't putting this on them, GRAMER HUNG UP ON ME! HANGING UP is so unprofessional, any of Linda's skills are overwhelmed by her unrepentant rudeness.BADFORM

We asked them to come and look and they sent the shades to the manufacturer. The manufacturer said that there was no sun bleaching despite it being completely obvious to anyone.

I had been happy with Scrimshaw's in the past but I won't be doing business with them again.

We hired BH to interior design our recently renovated custom home, and the experience fell far short of expectations. Key issues included: * We were incorrectly invoiced for items that belonged to other clients. * The majority of our project's invoices were not issued until after we initiated contract termination--and then labeled "past due." * They lost our house key! Which was never recovered. * There was no system provided from BH for tracking billable hours. So we created our own spreadsheet--and even then, we had to request multiple times for it to be updated. * Repeated delays in providing basic order info (e.g., 6+ follow-ups for one order number) * Placed heavy furniture in the wrong room despite written instructions the day prior * Missed delivery timelines we explicitly asked to have confirmed prior to ordering * Direct questions in emails often went unanswered, only to be followed by additional emails (which we were billed for) seeking clarification. * No initial design consultation--resulting in misaligned concepts and inflated revision time * Even after we created and shared a detailed design brief and Pinterest board, proposed designs still missed the mark * We paid all outstanding invoices and install fees within 48 hours of initiating contract termination, but it still took BH a week to get our gate remote back. The house key was never returned * We raised these concerns in writing multiple times during the project--well before ending the contract or writing this review. BH never took accountability
