What to expect when you hire us to organize your space

Our process is simple, smart, and tailored to you.

HERE’S HOW WE WORK:

  • Following our initial conversation, we will send you a client intake form, and schedule a consultation. During this consultation, our team will take photos of your space(s), take measurements, and discuss the space with you to get a thorough understanding and develop a game plan. This step allows us to be prepared to do the work!

  • Here’s where we really dive into things. This is where you can kick back and relax while our team pulls everything out of drawers, cabinets, pantries, dressers, and cabinets in the space we are working in. As we’re pulling your items out we are sorting it with like kind items together, (all of your mixing bowls together, all of your tupperware together, all of your serving plates together) to not only give us a good inventory or what you own, but to also help you see the quantity of an item you might have. Oftentimes people don’t realize they have double, or triple of something until they see it all out for them to go through. Which brings us to our next step….

  • Once we have all of your items in the space sorted, we have you come back in to go over each and every item to evaluate. During this process, you’ll decide if you want to keep an item, give it to a friend, donate it, or if it’s seen better days, throw it away. For the items you decide to keep, we’ll ask you how frequently you use the item and where you tend to use it to help us ensure we put things back in a way that fits your routine. That coffee cup you use every morning? We’ll make sure it’s front and center in your cabinet making it easy for you to grab. The serving bowl you use only on Christmas? We’ll find a less used shelf or cabinet to place it in so it doesn’t take up prime real estate in your space that can better serve other items. While the lead organizer is going through this portion with you, our other team members will be removing the items no longer staying to help declutter the area. If you have an item you want to give to a friend we’ll put it in a bag by the front door so you can remember to grab it on your way out the door, donation items will go in boxes and loaded up into our vehicles for us to take care of for you, and items that are being thrown away will be put into garbage bags and we’ll dispose of them so you don’t have to.

    1. After you are finished evaluating everything with us, you’ll probably feel a little exhausted. Feel free to go rest, run an errand or two, or catch up on your tv shows while we put your space back together. During this time we’ll use the information you’ve given us for any preferences that you have for your space whether it be organizing products we use, or placement of an item, and put everything in its final home. One of our goals is to only touch an item 3 times. Once to sort it, once during the evaluation, and the final touch is when we put the item back. We’re not perfect so sometimes we may move an item around a time or two, but to be as efficient as possible we aim for the 3 touch rule. For the most part you aren’t needed for this step, but we may ask you for your opinion on how we’re arranging things and if there’s any changes you’d like us to make. 

  • Once our team has put your space back together, we like to step back and ensure the new system works for you. This is the time for your feedback. We want your new space to feel logical, intentional, and functional and have confidence in the transformation.

  • Our last and final step will probably be your favorite part, when the job is finished and your space is transformed. Take a deep breath in, and feel the weight being lifted off of your shoulders. Once everything is done, we’ll have you come back in and take a look around to show you the system we’ve created for you. Before the team heads out, you’ll have the opportunity to give us feedback if there are any changes that need to be made to ensure that we are leaving you with the space of your dreams.

*PLEASE NOTE - While most of our process can be done exclusively by the Space by Space Team, all clients must be present in-person for the big purge and check-in portion.
