It's never too late to organize your garage AND your life! Thanks to Ariane, "The Clutter Nanny,"…read moreand Shannon, my garage and my life is now functioning at a MUCH better capacity! After years and years of hanging on to "things" I never used, sold or donated and thus making our garage a messy, unsightly and unusable place, I changed my mindset, thanks to Ariane and Shannon and couldn't be happier AND healthier. It feels much better to live in the present than to hang on to things from my past. These are things I decided someone else could much better use and enjoy, and the adage, if you haven't used it in a year, you don't "need" it, is so true. Ariane and Shannon helped me and my husband to sort, donate, toss or keep so many things we had saved for 20 or more years. They also offer to take items to donate as well. I learned about my city's (Fullerton) numerous opportunities for large item pick ups and extra trash pick ups (for an added fee) in the process. I became a familiar face at our local disposal place, which I (don't laugh) was kinda nervous about going to before, and that's why so many things didn't get "dumped." Our garage now has useable totes and shelves and designated spaces for items we truly need and use for our home and life. Big pluses for "The Clutter Nanny" are that both Ariane and Shannon are punctual, hard working, organized, great communicators and schedulers, conscientious, creative, and fantastic problem solvers. Now, and for our future, we have our two-car garage back and I look FORWARD to doing my laundry, storing and easily getting outdoor accessories and decor, easily finding camping items and tools to use indoors and outdoors. All our garage clutter is gone, and with this mindset, which Ariane and Shannon fostered in me, which feels and IS healthy, I am positive, I will not go back to clutter again. I even went to an estate sale two weeks after our de-cluttering, and didn't buy a thing; I just enjoyed myself. Thank you, Ariane and Shannon!

I'm seven months pregnant with our second baby, and our kitchen, pantry, and utility closet had become completely overwhelming. My husband and I did not have the time or energy to redo everything before the baby arrived. I especially needed help making our space work better for a toddler while preparing for newborn life again. They stepped in, understood exactly what we needed, and created practical solutions that made our home feel calm and manageable. At the end of the day it was something that needed to be done; something we were never going to do half as well as they did; and something that would lead to headaches and fights. We're so glad it was Ariane and Shannon doing it, not us. It was worth every penny. If you are thinking about booking them, plan ahead because their calendar fills up quickly.

It was truly a major downsize from our home of 10 years, to a new space and neighborhood that we intend to make permanent eventually. We brought only what we absolutely needed in to our small space but it was still a challenge and overwhelming to create a new living space that was organized with less cabinets and rooms! When I say challenging I'm talking about tears and feeling like we made a mistake about moving in to a smaller space even though temporary! Well Diane sure came to the rescue, first with a virtual consultation and an appointment to get started. What impressed me most is that Diane got started right away while I was on work calls because I work from home. She made her way through all our kitchen items and quickly sorted and put all the items in the cabinets that was organized and that made complete sense in how we would use the kitchen area! She did return to help with our tiny bathroom organization and cleaning supplies closet which helped tremendously! Diana also gave additional ideas for some storage solutions for things we do not use everyday which we executed not to long after her initial visits. My only regret is not calling Diane sooner for help! I definitely plan to use her services again when we move for packing and unpacking and organizing our new home! Thank you so much, Diane!

It's possibly going to be never-ending. Plus, I want her to continue operating her business, therefore it would be in my interest to make sure she has a steady stream of clients so she stays around to help me! So here it is! As an anniversary gift to my husband I decided to have his closet and his home office organized. He is thrilled with his organized space! Though his office is still a work in progress, the finished product for now is awesome! The space just feels so much lighter! Stephanie is very respectful, prompt, fair and most of all, honest. She found money while organizing and gave it back to us! I have so many more projects for her to do and I'm so excited to get everything in order! Also, if you've just moved and thinking about unpacking yourself - stop lying to yourself! You know you're never going to get around to it and if you do , you're probably going to do a half a** job at it! Hire a professional, specifically Stephanie to do it! Your future self will be less disappointed and embarrassed with your past self. How do I know this? Because I'm that person who's embarrassed with her past self for waiting this long to get help! Do it! Do it! Do it! Cheers!

She responded quickly, scheduled a few dates to tackle a variety of messes, and helped us reclaim our entry way, sports closet and living room from the chaos of two high-spirited, multi-sports loving boys under the age of 9 and 5 who leave their belongings absolutely everywhere! Ha! Now we have a logical place for everything to go and an organized system in place to keep things much more tidy! She also helped us clear a ton of clutter and offered to drop a bunch of items we no longer needed to the local donation center so it was one less chore for us to manage. I so appreciated her attention to detail and going the extra mile for us - literally and figuratively! I can't wait to have Stephanie and her team back soon to organize our kitchen and garage next!

They both worked hard & steadily, and even managed to keep *me* on task (no small feat!). I am so very pleased with how much we got done in just two half-days. Laura & Jenny even took a bunch of stuff away to be donated to various places, which helped me out a lot, because I'm not able to do much bending or lifting. My experience with Transform Your Space was entirely positive, and I intend to use them again when it's time to do the actual move.

We ended up working with Dottie, who was incredibly easy to work with. She set a cheerful tone from the moment she arrived and helped us make some tough choices to get rid of stuff, while being very respectful of things we did not want to get rid of. Ultimately, we felt it was a good value as well. We had Dottie for about 5 hours, accomplished more than we were hoping to, and felt the bill was very fair. The final invoice was also split with the deposit, which we paid a couple weeks in advance during the scheduling process, so the final invoice wasn't nearly as bad as we hoped. All in all, we would definitely recommend ClutterGirl.

Just too much crap to deal with that I kept putting off. The predatory pricing of my storage company (90% increase in 2 years!) angered me so much I started doing research for getting help with cleaning out my garage so I could move my storage items into it. Looking on the web, Kari Jane's Simply Organized was so highly rated, I felt confident that she could help. By wanting to pay a good service to help me rather than an out of control storage company month after month after month, I figured I had a good budget to work. Kari was very warm and professional and confident she could help me. After describing my situation and sending photos, she scheduled me promptly. She came over with 2 enthusiastic and hard working staffers and they got to work right away. Very diligent and organized and they made enormous progress. By the mid-day, the garage was completely cleared out. I thought it would take 2 or 3 days at least as I had a ton of crap. They diligently removed everything, sorted it out and categorized what could be tossed, or recycled or donated or would stay. And they diligently carried away several cars worth of donations at the end. The items I kept were put in nice transparent cases with clear labels, and there was a lot of room to move my storage in. It is such an enormous relief to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Kari Jane and her staff and services. Completely worth it! Thank you so much!

It was a tight timeframe, but Allison (who so lovingly remembered me) was able to squeeze me in to tackle the spaces 2 weeks later. After a whole day together of Allison presenting all the items that had been shoved into spaces and forgotten about, tossing things that were unneeded (dingy plastic tupperware and mugs galore), and having the best conversation, we were able to free up space in both areas and leave each area feeling intentional all while I was working from home the majority of the day. There was never a moment I felt like she was pushing me to donate or toss things and never once had I felt judged for wanting to cling onto the "just in case" items that I really felt were "just in case" trinkets. I'll probably be tossing them anyways... Allison is the type of small business owner that you'd want to continue working with and continue getting to know!

That was a HUGE plus for me, I did not expect that! That was an enormous amount of relief for me so I my trash wasn't overfilled with all the junk I got rid of! I also mentioned to her that I was putting together my son's loft bed and that I was struggling, so she offered to come over and help me! She didn't even charge me for the hour she helped even though I insisted! You can't buy genuine kindness, so I really appreciated that! The garage is now a functional entertainment/playroom, I'm actually baking more than I ever did in my kitchen, and the kids are SO happy with their rooms. I feel like Allison gave me more than just "a clean house." She gave me time, purpose, and efficiency -- which are far more valuable than tidiness. She gave me a happy home! And being a mom of three little ones, it's easy to drown in the chaos and keep up with everything. But I went from feeling overwhelmed and stressed, to peaceful and relaxed. Thank you, Allison for giving us the gift of peace in our home! If you're looking for a professional organizer who goes the extra mile, the organization maven is for you!!
