Space Cadetteorganizing your corner of the universe
"After 9 years of marriage and two children, my husband said, “If we can’t get our house together after 9 years then maybe we need to get some help.” So I contacted Kerry and in 3 sessions she helped me eliminate clutter and disorganization in my home and help me set up systems to keep the organization in place. Hiring Kerry was a great anniversary gift to ourselves and now we can celebrate 10 years of marriage with a great vacation and a more peaceful home to return to. I recommend Kerry to everyone I know. Thank you for getting us out of our rut, Kerry!"
—Kristin, Business Owner and Mother
"Kerry and I have worked together on several organizing projects (an arts/crafts closet, a bedroom closet, and pre-organizing a very successful fundraiser-garage sale) and I have been enormously pleased with the results--every time. Kerry has the skills, the vision, the creative thinking, and the patient and cheerful persistence needed to guide her clients through every step of the organizing process--and the results reflect it!"
—Deborah, Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist
"Kerry has a knack for putting it all together. Don't be scared of her input, for you won't regret the results."
—J.E., Homeowner
"Space Cadette showed me how to optimize small spaces and make them fully functional for both storage and shipping for my home-based aromatherapy business. Her customized solution made me much more efficient."
—Carolyn, Small Business Owner
"As part of getting ready to launch a new at-home business, I worked with Kerry to help organize my office, which had been neglected and was quite disorganized and overwhelming. She efficiently and calmly helped me categorize, prioritize, and otherwise clear it out. She was fantastic at getting me to a place where I could continue the work on my own, and this left us more time together to work on other areas of the house, too! I was most impressed with her ability to quietly and non-judgementally help me let go of things that had been truly cluttering my life (and closets, drawers, etc...). She never pushed, yet there was something about her being there that allowed me to more easily let things go. I would recommend her to anyone!"
—Laura, Small Business Owner
"I really enjoyed our organizational adventure and I feel like it helped me to finally turn the corner. There are always going to be clothes to wash, dishes to put away, toys to pick up, beds to be made, toilets to be scrubbed, but now I don't feel scared of those things. I want to tackle them and get them done. I like knowing what it feels like to have control over my environment, not the other way around. Who would have thought that tidying up would be so liberating?"
—Brianna F., Student and Mom with ADHD
"In her gentle, creative way, Kerry polished my office and music studio to shining, organized places to work and teach."
—H.S., Flute Teacher
"Kerry asks very thoughful questions and takes the time to make not just generic recommendations, but specifically options that are tailored to an individual's personal set of needs. She works with you in a diligent, efficient manner and helps make tasks that can seem overwhelming to some of us to be tolerable and even fun!"
—Jennifer P., Nonprofit Executive
"I don’t know what I would’ve done without Kerry last year when I downsized to a smaller home without downsizing my “stuff.” She helped me wade through boxes, files and papers, books, clothing, keepsakes, decorative items, and office supplies. With her guidance, I evaluated which things were useful to me right now, which things I love and can’t part with, and which things to donate or recycle. I especially appreciate that Kerry disposes of things in an environmentally-friendly way or takes them to the charities of my choice. Kerry also taught me how to “re-purpose” many things I love so that I can keep them and use them in new ways that help me stay organized as well. She helped me re-arrange and store things near where I actually use them so I could easily put them away when finished and stay organized. Her biggest challenge by far was my home office. When she was finished, I couldn’t believe how much more efficient I became at conducting business. And the unexpected bonus was the surge of creativity that flourished in my newly-serene space. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive before we started that I’d get cornered into getting rid of things I really wanted to keep. That didn’t happen. She listened to my needs, respected my preferences, and made adjustments when things didn’t work as well as we’d hoped. I also was afraid I’d have to spend a lot of money on materials or equipment. Instead, she “re-purposed” existing things in my home and I made only a few small purchases. All that, plus Kerry’s a funny and fun person to be around. I never dreaded our organizing sessions; in fact, I looked forward to them."
—Susan, Writer/Artist
"My home was so cluttered that I was too frustrated to even begin attacking it. I didn't know where to start!
"Kerry came in and helped me methodically go through my belongings, purging a lot of useless stuff that was taking up space. She showed me new ways to organize things together and keep the clutter from getting worse while displaying and featuring the items that were really important to me.
"Now I can find the things I need, control the clutter a lot better, and bring fewer things into my house. Kerry's unbiased eye helped me look at my belongings in a new way. By getting rid of some things and finding proper homes for other items, I no longer feel claustrophobic in my own space! As a result, my home looks more inviting, offers a better sanctuary, and stays cleaner longer!"
—Laura, Copy Editor and Home Party Salesperson
"Kerry listened to my office space and efficiency problems and came up with creative affordable solutions."
—Marcia, Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist
"Kerry was a lifesaver; I had this image that I could do it all and I could; "Did I want to" was the question? Did I want to use my time off work that I valued as time with my children to attack the dreaded clutter that had accumulated? Resounding NO!
"I invested in Kerry who brought our home up to tip top showing condition so we could put it on market. I am grateful and thrilled with her high quality of work and professionalism. I have referred several clients to her and given her cards to realtors as well.
"She involved me in the process as much or as little as I wanted; she was constantly in touch with progress reports; she was very in tune with my needs and worked around my kids."
—Michelle, Insurance Agent
"Kerry came up with numerous ideas for shelving systems for our office, and we were able to pick and customize the one we liked best. We ended up with lots of extra wall space and were able to bring up books to the office from downstairs. Because of that, we could get rid of some downstairs bookshelves. Thanks to Kerry's efficient and easy-to-implement ideas for organizing one room, we now have extra space in two rooms!"
