In An Orderly Fashion

"With my house under construction for over 5 years at the hands of my do-it-yourself husband, I was living in a constant state of chaos.  Everything was homeless as the new home was yet to be created.  I was afraid to open my door because even in its most straightened state, there were bins and boxes everywhere.  There is only so long you can use construction as an excuse.  I called Ellen in a state of desperation. 

Each session, we have tackled a room in its totality.  Things are stored beautifully, labeled and easily accessible and by the end of the session there is order and a plan for every item "living" in that room. To top it all off--it has been "interior decorated" too!  I actually hate to stop when she leaves!

Some may say (like my husband had)  that it is silly to have help organizing--but even he is grateful to admit walking in the door, you see a living room that looks better than it ever has (mid-construction or pre-construction).  Some may even say it's premature considering the house is not done--but Ellen is helping me to not only survive the transition but to actually have it functional and beautiful!  Additionally, Ellen is consulting with us to create a post-construction home that is customly organized and decorated!

Thank you Ellen for dramatically improving our living environment, my mental health & my marriage!"

"Ellen Conroy is a dream to work with! Not only did she help me sort through 17 years of living in a three-story house, she also helped me live comfortably amidst a major move. Best of all, Ellen helped me see how to organize and live in each space with a fresh perspective. Working with Ellen was like working with my best friend! I highly recommend her service to you."

"Ellen has helped me so much with staging my house before I put it up for sale. She helped me declutter and decorate in a way that my house looked bigger, more spacious and easy on the eyes. She has great ideas and a very creative mind. She thought of ideas that I wouldn't even think of; even when it came to placing frames on the walls. If it weren't for her, I don't think my house would have sold so fast. My house sold in 3 weeks and I give her a lot of credit for this! Ellen has also organized my basement, garage and file system which makes my life so much easier to find what I am looking for. She has helped me put order into my life again! Thank you so much, Ellen!!!!"

"Ellen has been an enormous help. I began working with Ellen when I could not take the chronic clutter any longer. It had become clear that I coud not manage to de-clutter and move forward on my own. Ellen was like a Godsend. I honestly shudder to think what things would have been like if I had not hired her.

In the time we have worked together we have organized every room in my house. She helped me to start to clear through my papers and "stuff" and to set up systems for dealing with incoming "stuff" as well. She also helped us prepare for a move from a house with fairly good storage space to a house with considerably less storage. She helped to plan furniture layout and closets in the home we were moving to, pack, unpack and setup the new space in a very efficient, aesthetically pleasing way. Looking back, I don't know how I would have done it without her. She had great ideas, listened, kept me on track and never wavered, even when I wanted to throw my hands up in despair!

Ellen brings a great attitude to every project. She is more than just an extra set of hands, She is very knowledgeable about organizing and always has great tips, ideas and suggestions. She has a positive attitude and is very warm and encouraging, especially important when trying to work on difficult projects. It is always a pleasure to work with her."

Ellen, you've been such a delight to work with and so helpful with suggestions that just make so much sense. You offer an experienced, fresh perspective so that you know just how to place things for their maximum potential and efficiency, whether it's furniture, office design or a pantry! In my case, you've helped to lift a burden that has been going on nearly 20 years, and may I just say, "What a freeing feeling it is to have less clutter and everything in its place!!"

"It is with much pleasure that I write to praise and thank both Pat Botter and Ellen Conroy for their outstanding abilities as professional organizers. They have helped me enourmously, with patience and tact, to make huge progress in clearing great amounts of clutter from my home. In addition, they have encouraged and motivated me to make strides in finding it a little easier to part with memorabilia.

Not only are they truly efficient, capable and talented, but both Pat and Ellen have charming, warm personalities. I am delighted to see how much they accomplish each time they come to my home. How fortunate that my daughter located Pat and Ellen on her computer!"
