Testimonials

"Kara is a GENIUS! She worked a miracle on one of my listings that I thought would never be ready to go to market. She is swift, methodical, efficient and very, VERY good at her craft. You will not regret hiring Kara!"

Teresa K.- Geneva

"Kara is absolutely magical! I had her come overhaul my kitchen, and it has been amazing. My kitchen is still in the same shape it was when she left and it’s just so much easier to get around in. I think about her every time I’m cooking!

We also had her come organize our mudroom, and I can’t tell you how much she helped us out. We did the much-needed purge, and it was so wonderful to have someone there to bounce ideas off of and help you commit to a system. She sees things in a way that I can’t, and eventually she is going to have organized our entire home!

Kara is friendly, caring, and just all around a good human. She has your best interest at heart, and she does an amazing job. She is truly talented! You won’t regret hiring her for your organizational needs!

"I had a phenomenal experience working with Kara! She helped me go through lots of clothes, organize my space and also took away my donations! I enjoyed working with her so much that I was just getting ready to reach out to her to help me redecorate my main living floor in my home! She has wonderful taste and is a joy to work with."

Brandi F.- Geneva

"Kara is an absolute gem. As an overwhelmed mom of 4 I was nervous to accept her help and embarrassed at my disorganization. Kara came over and created absolute magic in my home! She repurposed old items not being used, and truly recreated spaces to help make my main living space and kid's bedroom welcoming spaces that also were conducive to the chaos that comes with 3 kids under 5 and a teenager. I'd also like to mention as we talked about my life and what I needed she had a broom in hand sweeping up my dining room. I am so grateful for her and can’t wait to have her tackle my basement/play space next!"
