TESTIMONIALS

-Hannah Crockett

"I have used Lisa's services many times. She not only helps put your place into order but the process helps put your life in balance. When your home is not cluttered it helps keep your life the same way. When I arrive home after a long day I just feel more relaxed and able to wind down easier now. Thank you for all your advice and it's helped tremendously."

-Eric Wick

"I'm so impressed how accessible and presentable my scarves are now that Lisa has organized them for me. I had so many I could never find the one I wanted or always wore the same few. She helped me categorize them by season and color and what a difference it has made. I will definitely be hiring her again."

FAQ's AND WHAT TO EXPECT

​What makes you different than other organizers? Not only have I always had a natural aptitude (and passion) for organizing but, my unique background have given me the skill set I use today to create a space for a client that is not only organized, but suited to their everyday lifestyle and needs. Having been in Retail Management I utilize time management, goal setting, resourcefulness, decision making, patience, empathy and motivational skills. From my Interior Design background I implement creativity, space planning, ability to visualize your end project, actively listening, and not least of all HUMOUR! What is included in my package? While each package will tailored to each client's needs, all packages include the following; assessment of your space, design planning, shopping, ordering and pick up of storage and labelling products, up to 6 hours per day, assistance with donation (removal and drop off), arrangement for haul away of excess trash and and recycling, follow up call.

How do I get started? During this free analysis, we will dedicate up to 30 minutes to assess your area(s) of concern. During our consultation, you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts on what works and what doesn't work for your space, as well as your end goals and timeline.

Should I clean up before you arrive? There is no need to clean up your space before your assessment or any of the organizing sessions! It’s best if I can see the space how it typically looks and functions with you in it. I promise there is nothing to be embarrassed about, because when I come into your space, I’m looking for solutions. We have a 100% No Judgement Guarantee!

What is an organizing session like? Sessions are typically scheduled in 3 hour increments to make the best use of time and keep you on track to achieve your goals in the desired time frame. However, availability permitting, we can also accommodate up to 6 hour sessions per day. With your input, I will start by sorting all the items in your space into like categories. From here, you'll be able to see which items are in excess (i.e., if you have 12 black dresses and really only need 2) and make informed decisions on what to purge (donate, recycle, or toss). Next, I will return the items you sorted, but did not purge, to their most efficient and accessible storage locations. Finally, we'll discuss how to evaluate new items as they come into your space while guarding against new clutter. After we’ve decluttered and organized, you might need a few storage containers. My goal is to use what you’ve got, but if we need to look beyond that, I will suggest items that fit within your newly organized space and your budget.

How long will it take to get organized? Probably less time than you would have imagined! Each space is different and the rate of organization often depends on how quickly a person can make decisions. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make sure that each session is productive. I keep my clients on task, but I never rush a person or pressure them into getting rid of anything. If you need a short break, there’s always something I can do independently to keep the project moving forward. I guarantee that in 3 hours you will see a major and tangible improvement!

Do I have to throw my things away? That decision is completely up to you. If clutter is interrupting your daily life and preventing you from attaining your goals, most likely, there will be items that need to be re-homed. However, you decide whether to donate, toss, or recycle. I promise to cheer you on as you let go of the things that you no longer need, use, or love; the things that are ultimately a barrier between you and the things you do love and use. Do I need to be present during the sessions? I will need your input in the beginning so that your decluttered space will be well suited to your personality and needs. After that, I can continue sorting and organizing based off your initial direction. There may be a few tweaks needed at the end of the project to ensure that it’s the best fit for you. If you would prefer to work alongside me, the job may go faster and you’ll learn some of the organizing strategies I use to give a space the order it deserves. Can my children be home while we organize? While I love children, I’ve found that it can be difficult to sort and organize when young kids are present. Your first and foremost obligation is to your children; as such, it may be difficult for you to concentrate on the organizational task at hand. Because you are paying by the hour, you may want to arrange for a sitter to get the most “bang for your buck” while we work. Older children, however, may be present and can even be an asset to the project, particularly if we’re working on their room! Travel is included at no additional cost up to a 60 minute round trip. Additional travel time beyond is charged at 70 cents per kilometer.

“Free” kitchen design isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s rarely free. In most cases, the design service is built directly into the cost of the cabinets or products being sold. That means the layout, recommendations, and selections are often created to support a sale first, not to explore every possible option for your home and budget.

An independent kitchen consultation shifts the focus back to the homeowner. There’s no pressure to choose a specific brand, supplier, or upgrade, just clear, unbiased guidance. With independent advice, you gain a better understanding of your layout, your investment, and your choices before you commit, helping you make confident decisions that truly serve your long-term needs.

Before & After Cabinet Repaint ✨

Not surprisingly, I’m someone who prefers doors and drawers over open shelving. So when a relative passed this cabinet along to me, I saw the perfect opportunity to give it new life with paint and repurpose it into a TV stand.

I started by wiping the cabinet down with a damp cloth and all-purpose cleaner, followed by a light sanding to dull the existing gloss so the primer could properly adhere. Staying true to my brand loyalty, I used Benjamin Moore Fresh Start Primer, then applied two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance in Naples Blue (2057-30) with a pearl sheen. It’s durable, modern, and not overly glossy, exactly the look I wanted, yet still a durable finish. I chose this colour because it tied in beautifully with the teals and blues already pulled from my area rug and a similar palette throughout my space.

The second coat went on day three, including the drawer interiors (but not the cabinet interior; no regrets there!). Once cured, I reinstalled the original hardware and styled it in place as its new home. I briefly considered swapping or spray-painting the handles, but the burnished brass finish ended up complementing the new colour perfectly.

Proof that a little prep, the right products, and a good colour choice can completely transform a piece.

Not all cabinets are built the same, even if they look similar. Comparing box construction, materials, hardware, and warranty can uncover big differences in quality and cost.
Many quotes leave out key details like installation scope, modifications, fillers, or finishing touches. Knowing exactly what’s included helps avoid surprise costs later.
A professional consultation can catch costly mistakes before they happen. A small upfront investment can protect your budget and your peace of mind.

CABINETS
Often the largest portion of the budget, cabinet quality affects storage, durability, and the overall look of your kitchen.

INSTALLATION AND LABOUR
Even the best materials need skilled installation; this is where precision, experience, and timelines really matter.

COUNTERTOPS
More than a surface, your choice impacts maintenance, longevity, and how your kitchen functions day-to-day.

APPLIANCES
Costs vary widely based on performance and features, so prioritize what fits your cooking habits and lifestyle.

PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL
Hidden but essential upgrades that ensure safety, code compliance, and long-term reliability.

FLOORING
Your most used surface, durability, comfort, and moisture resistance should guide your investment.

BACKSPLASHES AND FINISHES
These details add personality and polish, tying the entire kitchen design together.

LIGHTING
Good lighting improves both function and atmosphere, from task lighting to overall ambiance.

DESIGN AND CONSULTING
Professional guidance helps avoid costly mistakes and ensures every dollar is spent wisely.

CONTINGENCY
A smart buffer for surprises, because renovations rarely go exactly as planned.
