This Mess Is A House
Welcome to » Tips

We understand that clutter can weigh on you we want to help.  We do not judge your house, we come to help it and you as Professional Organizers. Calling us is the first step. Come on…just a phone call…you have nothing to lose. Think about it, we could help you identify items you could sell and make money on. We could get your paperwork in order so that you don’t have late payments. Best of all, you will have peace of mind and a clean slate without clutter when we leave.

Everything is confidential.

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.

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!

* 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.

I had the “good luck” fairy with me during all my returns yesterday. I didn’t wait more than 2 minutes to return anything.

* Get the Christmas stuff down and if something is yucky or broken - toss it before you even think of putting it away. Make sure all your Christmas stuff is put in ONE desginated area.

Sidenote: I organized a client this past year and her Christmas stuff was scattered from the attic to the kitchen. Put EVERYTHING in one designated area: trees, Christmas serving items, Christmas linens, ornaments (you get the idea).

Now go to it!

We all do it. I have been driving around with some blinds that need to go back to WalMart for the past month. Because, let’s face it, who wants to stand in line for an hour to return something  UGH!!! Yours truly, e-mailed several companies of recently bought items that didn’t work correctly for whatever reason. Last Christmas I bought hubby a $50 Brookstone fogless mirror. This was intended to be the last one I got because it had replacement mirrors. Well, I just e-mailed Brookstone asking where to find them - beacuse they aren’t in the store or on-line.

So, go get all the items that you have been meaning to return and all the resipts you can find and put them in the front seat of your car. If you have to e-mail the company - by all means, save time by doing so. If you have to go stand in line at Wal Mart - go do it. Nobody needs to waste hard-earned money! Money trees aren’t growing very well these days!

Well I completed all the projects below…YAY!!!  Untangling necklaces for a couple of hours is not a fun thing grrrr….

Today, I will put away all the wrapping paper and gift bags. I keep the ones that are absolutely Christmas in separate wrapping paper containers. Those are hauled up to the attic and put in a neat area with Christmas items put away carefully. I also got rid of all the cheap, broken and yucky ornaments this year.
