As a professional organizer, I offer services in Ottawa and the surrounding area. My services include organization of your personal life, your residence, furniture arrangement, relocation advice, and small business organization.

Residential

Are you unable to open your closet doors? Do you still have clothes from 1986? Are you surrounded by stuff?

Together we can review all aspects of residence and develop a plan tailored to suit your needs. I can offer advice on how to de-clutter and reorganize according to your individual requirements. Benefits include:

Furniture Arrangement

If you feel your home could be arranged better... you are probably right! Turning the place you live into the place you love does not have to cost a fortune in terms of time or money.

We love our homes and we want to live in them for as long as we can but sometimes we just need a change. Furniture arranging works well for individuals who:

  • Like what they have but want a fresh new look
  • Want to rearrange due to a life transition (marriage, divorce, kids leaving, retirement, new baby …)
  • Want to incorporate a new piece into an existing layout
  • Want to make their home more functional and inviting
  • Want to reduce belongings but not incorporate new pieces

Given most of us are under some kind of pressure in terms of time or money or both… Many clients are opting to work with what they have and refresh their décor without undertaking a huge overhaul.

At Getting Organized we can help you. We can listen to your concerns and work with you to shift things around and offer quick fixes to open and brighten up your home. Choose furniture arranging as a cost effective way to bring new life into your home. It may be all you need to open your space and life to new possibilities!

Relocation

If you are planning to move you can dramatically increase the sale of your home in simple and cost effective ways. I can provide advice on how to:

  • Prepare your home for sale by making it more aesthetically pleasing
  • Packing and marking your belongings in a personal as well as professional manner
  • Unpacking your move in an organized strategic way and finding a 'new' place for everything quickly and efficiently.

Small Business

I can help design a system that works for you to keep your business running efficiently. After determining your needs and requirements as well as how you work best, I can provide advice on:

  • The creation of a new filing system or reorganization existing files
  • Which new supplies could be purchased, replaced, colour-coded, re-categorized
  • Arrangement of supplies so they will be accessible and professional
  • Steps to make your office and files look visually appealing
  • Suggestions on how to make the most of your available storage space and achieve a functional work area

The system that we set up will be one that is uniquely yours.
