Feature Question

How can I avoid adding even more clutter from holiday gifts?

Before the holidays, do a quick declutter—especially where new items will go. Donate unused toys, clothing, decor. Get the kids involved. Free up space & start the New Year fresh!


What does an organizing project look like?

Every project gets messier before it gets better—we deconstruct to rebuild smarter. We strongly recommend 3–4-hour sessions for larger projects to avoid decision fatigue. Although each project is unique, the process steps remain consistent.

Decluttering/Purging 
This is the “worse before better” stage—clearing everything out reveals what you have and the space you’re working with. We’ll help you focus on what’s useful and meaningful now, staying mindful of decision fatigue.

Sorting
Items are staged nearby and sorted into: 
Keep 
Keep Elsewhere 
Donate 
Recycle/Toss
Items for other areas may be your “homework” to put away. Nothing is removed without your consent—we’ll support your decisions and help identify what’s no longer serving you. Usable items are donated or reused, when possible, to minimize waste and avoid adding to our landfills.

Organizing/Sustaining 
Once the space is cleared, we organize items in a way that works for you—using existing containers or recommending new ones as needed. Everything gets a labeled “home” to keep it tidy and functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Afterward, we check in to see how it’s working and adjust if needed. Change takes time—be patient, and know we’re here to support you.

That’s okay — that’s exactly what we’re here for. We’ll walk through your space and figure out where small changes will make the biggest impact.

Yes, we supply standard bins, baskets, trays in neutral colours as part of the organizing package. If you would prefer something specific, we’d be happy to source and purchase these for you. Pricing is dependent on which premium items are selected. You also have the option of using your own items if you prefer, or using items from our organizing items exchange. In addition to helping the planet, there’s a cost savings too!

No — each mini organizing package includes everything you need to get started. If we recommend any other items, it’s always optional.

We currently provide in-person services in Simcoe, Dufferin and Wellington Counties, as well as parts of Peel Region. All initial consults are virtual.

Although it’s tempting to “tidy up” before someone comes to your house, we need to see exactly where the struggle is. Tidying up beforehand will mask the trouble spots. Don’t worry about how your house looks – we’re here to help. We’ve been there too!

All client information is kept confidential. We abide by the POC Code of Ethics and PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), which states:

“[PIPEDA] requires private-sector organizations to collect, use or disclose your personal information by fair and lawful means, with your consent, and only for purposes that are stated and reasonable. An organization may only collect personal information that is essential to the business transaction.” Any digital images or photographs will only be used for portfolio or website photo gallery purposes with your express written consent.

Contact us to see how we can help – there are many options and we would love the opportunity to help you find the best one that works for you!

We are environmentally conscious and strive to reduce any negative impact on our planet. Any items that are in good condition and are no longer wanted/needed, are donated so someone else will be able to put them to good use. Clothing, such as women’s business attire for example, are donated to charities dedicated to assisting women who are struggling to return to the workforce. We also have an organizing items exchange, where bins, baskets, and trays that are in good condition and easy to clean but are no longer suitable for your space are reused in another client’s space.
