This Mess Is A House
Welcome to

When you hire This Mess is a House, you get Leaf and Greta, 2 of the hardest working ladies you will ever find. This is the best thing you can do for someone else or yourself (gift certificates available). We serve St. Tammany and the greater New Orleans area (sorry New Orleans - not until the gas prices drop or we grow wings) with professional home organization services. We work with what you have and don’t try to sell you additional items or services. Only $50 for both of us per hour. We are the most reasonably priced organizers in town with very satisfied customers. (985) 807-4805 or gretaperry@gmail.com
This Mess is a House, LLC owned and operated by Greta Perry & Leaf Pellegrin

Pick the spot that bothers you the most and dig in!!! Do not move on until that area is done and everything in that area is settled into a new place nicely!

You haven’t used it? You don’t need it!

The kids haven’t played with it. They don’t need it!

Go through once and get rid of stuff - then go through it again!

For $50 an hour - you get 2 hard working women who will get you started when you are stuck!

Sorry - until the gas prices drop or we grow wings - we are only servicing the Northshore.

You know it is that time of year again? You may be in serious need of a maid, but what if she can’t get past the clutter? No point in cleaning when the pile of “who knows what” is still sitting around! Have Leaf and Great tackle the clutter and it will make you feel so much better - we promise! Then you will be able to clean your baseboards so much easier!

Just over a year ago we chose to downsize our house 1,000 sq. ft.! Is it perfect? No, but much more manageable and enjoyable for quality family time. It is called purging crud!!!! And for the record, neither my house nor Leaf’s house is a showplace, we live there with our families. However, our houses are manageable because we don’t keep a ton of junk! Give us a chance and we get can you on the road to having a house that isn’t overwhelming! Our last client said that we “work magic.” We would have to agree!

I spray painted these cheap Home Depot pegboards and they work wonderfully!

I confess, I am recovering from a major surgery and have spent the recent days watching TV. As a professional organizer (who stall hasn’t joined any associations), I am hooked on one show - Clean House! We, at This Mess is a House are just your basic common sense, hard working and thinking organizers. We don’t bring in teams and we don’t clean. Anyhoo, today I felt compelled to write to them. Let’s see if they respond. ALso a huge Reno 911 fan Niecey!

I do not need a house clean. However, I moved to the New Orleans area a year ago after being a military wife for 10 years. I started a little organizing business called “This Mess is a House.com” I don’t charge much - $25 but do it to help people still recovering.

I am writing to invite you to New Orleans. BTW - I would fit right in with your cast while you are down here - I am a bit of a character:)

* Go to you attic or garage where you store all your previous year’s beads and throws

* Go click over here and support the troops today

* Whatever you don’t donate to the troops, go donate to a local school or organization asking for beads etc…

* Start Mardi Gras season without your old beads!

We love them, we hate them, our jaws drop at them, but we can all relate to a portion of them. No matter your reaction while watching any of those organizing shows, we can all come away feeling that someone’s life has been changed for the better.  When This Mess is a House enters your castle and tackle your “troublesome area”- we fix it quickly and efficiently. We work with what you have and we don’t create more work for you. We don’t come in with teams of hundreds and film crews. We can’t provide you with carpenters, new furniture or big screen TV’s, like you seen on those shows. We don’t come with a cleaning team, we come to get your “problemed area” in order. We leave you with a house that is much easier to manage than when we entered. And best of all, we leave you with something we know you can maintain on your own.

We are the most reasonably priced organizers in town. We enjoy what we do and find our team approach is extremely successful. For an investment as little as $200, you could make a huge difference in your life.

Is your Christmas stuff completely put away yet?

Have you washed all the Christmas linens and serving items? If you haven’t finished that - do it NOW!

Let’s talk Christmas notebooks. Yours truly keeps a 3 ring binder for Christmas. It is divided into several  sections: Incoming cards 2007, outgoing cards 2007, incoming gifts 2007, outgoing gifts 2007. I also keep a special section of Christmas card pictures I receive. Also, 3 ring  page protectors work wonderfuly for craft items you may want to make for next year.

Deadline for 100% of Christmas stuff being stored properly - SUNDAY!!!
