Many moving companies charge by weight, so the heavier the boxes, the higher the cost. I will help you decide what to keep and what to toss, effectively reducing your moving weight. When I unpack a client after they’ve moved from one home to another in Los Angeles, they always tell me they wish they had hired me before to help them purge. Purging before can save a lot of time and money. Most people pare down their belongings when they move. While it may be an ideal time to get new furniture and upgrade your appliances, the old stuff has to go somewhere. As a professional organizer, I can help you sell the items that you don’t want, schedule donation pick-ups, and dispose of recyclables and large items like furniture. If you show me photos of your new home I might suggest your sell your old couch or extremely heavy pull-out couch because they won’t work in your new home. Moving into a new home is exciting but can be stressful. Some say moving is almost as stressful as a divorce. It can also be cleansing…It’s an opportune time to purge and whittle down any clutter to help you new home be even more beautiful and streamlined than the last.

Organizing is the thing that if you do it once effectively, then it’s going to make cleaning a breeze every time. When me and my team open up your boxes we don’t just shove your stuff in the drawers, cupboards, and closets. We place and organize items so they are set up efficiently once and for all. We will set your home up in a day or two which otherwise might take you weeks or months. My goal is to make it so that you don’t need to hire an organizer to come again at a later date for a second round. My assistants are my avatars and I am constantly moving from location to location in your new home to ensure it’s set up beautifully and efficiently.

My experience as a home stager, stylist and decorator will save you time, money, and stress. When movers bring in your furniture, rugs. lamps and art, and you aren’t sure where they should go, I’ll know. I will take the lead and instruct movers to lay the heavy rug down exactly where it needs to be under the heavy couch once and for all so you don’t need to revisit all these problems in the following months. I will lean art in the perfect place below where it should be hung and if you’d like hang it (I used to assist an art advisor). I will use my experience as a home stager and instinctively place your decor. I will offer suggestions as to what you should buy and explain why it would elevate your space. This is the benefit of hiring an organizer who is also an experienced stylist and decorator.
