Top-Shelf Organizing

Louise works miracles! She is personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. She guides you through the decluttering process without judgment and makes helpful suggestions. I appreciate her expertise and friendly personality. Louise was a gift to our family.

Louise helped both me and my mom during our move to Seattle. We took one large house and split it into two condos and moved from out of state. Work made it hard for me to focus on unpacking and my mom is 74 and needed the organizing help. Louise was so focused and kind in response to our stress. She also donated our items to Goodwill after each session which helped so much. She is exactly the person you want to help in times of great stress to make your home a home.

We recently moved back to Seattle and with three small kids, we knew we would need unpacking help - otherwise we would still be unpacking in October. Louis was absolutely fantastic. In terms of booking, she was very flexible as our move-in date kept getting delayed. She communicated clearly when she would be arriving etc. She was very prompt. Most of all, she worked TIRELESSLY - helping us to get unpacked, in order, with a great attitude and spirit. We had kids running around, people working from home, other vendors showing up, etc -never flustered and never a problem for Louise. Highly recommended!

Louise was amazing and very pleasant to work with. We hired her for 8 hours of organizing and what we achieved in our garage and basement was incredible. She almost makes culling and organizing your clutter FUN! I have since recommended her to many friends and colleagues and will definitely be calling her in the future.

I had Louise help me organize my pantry and garage on two separate occasions. She was a delight to work with and has an amazing ability to get things done. A genuine task master. Would definitely hire her again.

Louise is absolutely amazing. She wasn’t daunted by a huge pile of boxes, some decades old, filled with a mix of worthless and priceless items. Louise was warm, engaging, and a delight to talk with as we sorted together. I stepped out to take several work calls and Louise kept organizing. She was very careful to make sure I reviewed anything that might be important. Louise got so much done! When our time was up, she took a carful of materials to Goodwill, took old pill bottles to recycle, took eyeglasses to donate, and we filled our recycling bin with unneeded papers. What a gift!

I had a great time working with Louise. She was extremely patient with me as we worked our way through two boxes that were *very* dense with items I wasn't sure what to do with and that I had put off dealing with for years. It took us quite some time to get through them! She didn't push me, but did gently guide me towards assessing their value to me. What I found was that after she left, I was way more able to go through items in other parts of my house and deal with them because I had a method. I also found myself more able to let things go after going through the process with her. I think it was because she didn't push me. If she had pushed it, I probably would've become more resistant. In that, Louise's wisdom shows. I highly recommend her, both from my own experiences and from my sister's experience with her.

Louise has been a fantastic resource for our family. Her insight, suggestions, and kindness have been especially important as we work to pare down years of accumulated things and organize what we keep. It is easy to feel embarrassed about some of the things that are kept for years yet serve no purpose, and with Louise there is zero shame, just gentle questions to help decide whether a given item deserves to take up space or it is time to find it a new home. My absolute favorite part is at the end of a session, she takes all the donations to drop them off or recycle. She knows where each item should go and it takes so much stress off my mind! I expected to handle the donation runs but she handles it all. I also love that she adjusts her pace and approach to what we each need.

Clutter, clutter, clutter! That used to be what my apartment looked like. Then Louise came in and in one 8-hour session she turned my messy bedroom into a cozy and welcoming room which I enjoy walking into. She was respectful and I never felt judged. Instead her attitude was "let's get organized". You can tell how much she loves doing this work and helping people get their homes organized. She's friendly, warm and easy to work with and never pushed me to let go of items I wasn't ready to let go of. Beyond organizing my bedroom she also went through my kitchen cupboards and even though I thought they were well organized she found ways to make them even better. I love my newly rejuvenated space and I have Louise to thank.

Louise saved me. I had just moved from West Seattle to Puyallup. As I sat looking at 200 boxes in my new house, I quickly became overwhelmed and paralyzed. Louise to the rescue! I booked her for 4 full days to organize my master closet, bedroom and bath, my kitchen pantry, office and household supplies. She is very professional, experienced, passionate about organizing and works independently as well as collaboratively. My home has never been so organized. I can find everything easily. I have already decided to hire her annually to tweak the clutter and maintain the organization in my home. She will even haul away donations to Goodwill. Can’t recommend her enough.

Without hesitation I commend Louise and Top-Shelf Organizing. She offers a comprehensive program that works. If you are challenged with ADHD or struggle to keep your work and home environment neat and organized, Top-Shelf Organizing offers a personalized approach for meaningful change. The strategies I've learned made a big difference in our home and office. My stress level is reduced in our peaceful and organized environment. Louise is respectful, kind and compassionate, she was also determined to help me overcome years of chaos. A lifetime of memories stored in boxes, full of things I don't need blocked the path to tranquility. Letting go is hard, but working with Louise is an enjoyable experience. I give my highest review to Top-Shelf Organizing. Gratefully, Jacquelyn F. Rex A.

Louise is an organizing queen! I saw her Facebook page, and have desperately been needing some help organizing my house, so I thought I would give her a try. When she arrived at my house I had horrible anxiety having a stranger come into my messy, unorganized home. From the minute I met her, she put me at ease with her warm personality and I felt so comfortable with her in my house. She didn’t judge me for the mess, nor ask me to throw anything away (but I did! And it was great!) I honestly didn’t have to get rid of a bunch of stuff. It really just needed to be organized. All day long we worked on my craft room (tons of photographs needed to be put in new bins with lids. That alone freed up a bunch of space)and then we moved to two other rooms to tidy them up. I enjoyed visiting with her as we worked together organizing, throwing away and giving to charity. She even loaded up her car and took the bags to Goodwill for me. That was a such a bonus. I texted her an hour after she left and I am scheduling another full day with her. I can’t wait to do this again. The relief of these overwhelming tasks is tremendous. I feel so much better. Thank you Louise!
