We had a "storage room" that really was just a dumping ground for stuff. We couldn't find anything, boxes were piled everywhere, and you couldn't really put anything away because nothing had a home. Brenda first helped us by getting us to realize we didn't need to keep everything. Scary. Then we starting categorizing and organizing and putting things in clear bins so we could actually see what we had. Finally, she helped rearrange the shelves in the room and the space became usable. To top it all off, she worked really fast! We were done in no time!

Now, going down in the basement actually makes me happy! Everything has a home, we can easily find things, and nothing is piled on the floor. The best part is, it's three months later and the storage room still looks great! Brenda helped us come up with a system that works and is easy to maintain. 

Happily Organized,  Eden Prairie

I am so happy with my closet now, sometimes I just go in there to look at it!  I can't believe how much better it is.  I can actually get all of our laundry done and put away in half the time.  Brenda was fun and easy to work with, and very reasonable.  I would recommend her to anyone who needs some help at a reasonable rate to get those organization projects around your home and office finished.  You can hire her for just 4 hours which is enough to get you started if you prefer to do the rest of your own. 

Hiring Brenda helped so much, on my own I think too much, she was able to guide me and help me quickly make decisions when I was unsure about what to do.   It was a great excuse to look through things that I hadn’t seen in years, and I found things that had been ‘missing’! 

Brenda and I tackled the garage and it looks better than I’ve ever seen it!

Brenda was easy to work with, and it went a lot faster than I initially thought.  She is a good value!  If you are thinking about getting organized but are afraid to start, you should hire her...even just 4 hours is enough to get you going.

We had tried to figure out a place to capture our recycling that would work, but had come up empty.  Brenda suggested we install shelves in a small kitchen pantry where our trash can was.  She installed the shelves and now our trash and recycling are in the same place, which will dramatically increase the ease of actually recycling.  She also installed 2 additional shelves, gaining otherwise unusable storage space for our paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, and other items that didn't really have a good home, where they would be easily accessible.  

Brenda provided much needed organization expertise for maximizing our kitchen pantry so that now we can easily find the food products in a deep pantry, and organized my most used items like corning ware, crock pot and serving trays for entertaining.  Our ziploc containers were out of control and I could never mind the matching lid!  Brenda suggested that we put them in a lower pull out drawer and she organized them so that they all fit and now I can find the lids!

After we were done with the kitchen, she moved onto a bedroom closet in the basement that needed her expertise.  It was storing our games, poker equipment, golf equipment and extra blankets.  She installed a wire shelving system and now we can easily see and find what we are looking for and it looks GREAT!

Brenda is such a pleasure to work with, she has creative solutions for our dilemmas, works quickly and best of all we had a lot of laughs and even though it was a work day, we had lots of fun and laughs making it so much easier to get organized! 

I hired Brenda to come and help me get organized.  I took a day off work to organize a storage area in my basement that had gotten out of control.  We ran out of storage shelves and things were ending up on the floor and we couldn't find what we were looking for.  While I went through and sorted out what to keep from what could go, Brenda worked on organizing the shelves.  Now all of our Christmas stuff is together, our kids stuff, my husband's memorabilia and mine are all organized and in their designated locations.  My gift bags are all sorted out so that I can easily find them when I need to wrap a gift.  I was surprised at how quickly we got the basement storage area done.  It looks great now.  My husband loved it when he got home!

We then worked on our entry area closet.  It had become overrun with shoes and the shelf was overflowing with the things that we needed to store there.  Brenda suggested that we install an additional shelf above the other one, which doubled the storage space there.  She installed it and we were able to store many of the less frequently used items up there, freeing up the other shelf for the things we use more often.  We got all of the shoes organized so they no longer will accumulate on the floor of the closet.  It looks great!

I plan to hire Brenda again to help me organize my kitchen pantry and cabinets.

Working with Brenda was great.  She had great ideas that I would not have thought of, and worked really hard.  We got things done quickly and they look great.  I feel so good about having things more organized and can spend more time with my 2 young kids and husband without feeling guilty about my undone projects.  Best of all, I can find what I am looking for!

The results -- fabulous ideas for the front entryway closet.  As you were installing the shelving, you mentioned ideas for storage and involved me, so the project was completed with input from me .  I really appreciated that.   You are a "thinking handyman" with great ideas and the ability to implement. I actually have two empty shelves now, ready for the peak cold weather season activity.  I love your idea for hooks on the inside ends of the closet for the umbrellas and other items.   Very versatile!  And no more avalanches when I pull out a scarf.  The additional shelf you installed above the existing shelf was genius!  Now the out of season stuff is stored above and no longer part of a "big stack".   I like that you use those nice 3M hooks that won’t do any damage to my walls.  

Your work has really made a difference in my kitchen.  I like the  rack you installed on the pantry door for boxes of foil, baggies, wraps etc.,  Getting my recipes organized is another area that makes me so happy and it feels good to open that drawer and find the recipes we are looking for.  It was such chaos before with recipes, clippings, etc., in three different locations, another potential  "avalanche" when a cook book was removed, and it added to the time we needed to prepare for entertaining which we love to do.  This recipe organization system is going to make that so much easier.

As I mentioned, you are a "thinking handyman".  Great combo of skills.  You are a good listener and made suggestions to solve for my challenges, but then allowed me to make decisions on what to install, keep etc.  It was really comfortable working with you in my home.  Sorting through the boxes of old photos and travel  brochures was lots of fun...and we got through the boxes.  

Oh, and I loved getting the project plan and recommendations outlining the action plan, project phases and estimates before you came back to do the work.  Thank you so much for your help with getting organized!  I have already recommended you to a couple friends and neighbors!

We are so happy with your work, and happy that we decided to hire a pro!

Brenda was great! She reviewed the situation with us and then got right to work.  We had agreed ahead of time that she would do the work herself while we checked in periodically to answer any questions.  It was a really big job, but she got it done in one day.  Now all of the power tools are all in one place and the larger hand tools and extension cords are hanging up where we can see them and get to them easily.  All of the nails and screws have a home and the ones that were in brown paper bags are now in clear jars so we can see exactly what we have.

We are really glad that we hired Brenda, and were amazed at how hard she worked to get it all done in one day!”

She made an emotional process a total success with her sense of humor and objective perspective and tireless work ethic.  

Now, I have hired her again to do a garage sale at my home.    

I will continue to use her services to organize my own home and would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

  Wow, I think I'm in love!  We moved through everything so quickly and she made it so much more fun.  It was like hiring a friend to help me.  I have to say, that I was totally amazed at the transformation in my master bedroom closet.  She helped me go through everything in the closet and she organized everything that went back according to winter, and then all of my skirts were together by color, my work blouses and tops all organized by color.  It was amazing!  And now, I can go in my closet and so easily find something to wear.  Before she came....not so much!  I would highly recommend her.  She is a really great value and made it so much easier and fun to get through something that felt overwhelming.  Do yourself a favor and hire Brenda to help you get organized in your closets.  You will be so happy that you did!
