Perfectly Placed - Home and Office Organization

Client Testimonies

Susan,

I LOVE my new room! It feels like my room now instead of some place to throw a bed so I can sleep there. It never felt like my room before. It always felt like a room in my Mom's house where there was a bed for me to sleep in. Now I really feel like I have my own place! Thank you so much. It shows how much thought you put into your work and the person. I felt like you truly cared about my happiness and comfort. You have a gift and I'm so glad you found your niche! Thank you again so much, Susan.

Susan,

I've been thinking of you so much lately and wanting to thank you for all your help and tell you how I look forward to pressing on. I'd like to excitedly tell you that it seems that, with my new organization, comes "new" time. That is EXACTLY why I wanted to be more organized. I am just now preparing our tax information for the accountant and I thought, "I HAVE to tell Susan how much EASIER it is this year and SO, SO, SO much less stressful because everything is easily accessible thanks to YOU!!!!" It is ENERGIZING and I almost feel like I've been given a GREAT big gift of TIME and LESS stress. Thank you, thank you, thank you and again, thanks most of all to God!!! It is WONDERFUL!!

With Affectionate Gratefulness,
Jenny Hand

Dear Susan:

Thank you, thank you for helping me organize my life!! When we started our collaboration, I didn't know how much more smoothly my life would run with your help and systems in place.

It's been a year of change - beginning with organizing my retail shop, and then helping me move my inventory into my home office when I had to close the shop location.

In seeing how much you helped with those projects, it just seemed logical to continue with other areas of the house! Not only is my front (and only main floor) closet neat and functional, I have a system for getting the laundry done that freed up a lot of my time and made my children responsible for most of the work. And I don't have piles of dirty or clean clothes sitting in my den or office!

The clean-up job we did on the kitchen in preparation for re-finishing the cabinets made me feel I had lifted an anchor from around my neck. I can't believe how much stuff we donated to charity (I can't believe it all fit into the kitchen!).

Next stop: my closet! Thanks again for your vision, elbow grease, and support.

All the best,
Jana Kading

"Susan exceeded my expectations. She was thorough, attentive, supportive, comprehensive, imaginative and willing to roll up her sleeves. We worked together on my kitchen and I now have a place to put everything and things actually get put away. And, after we evaluated things in cupboards and discarded things that were not being used regularly, I was also able to hold 2 successful garage sales. I am looking forward to working with Susan on the rest of the house. Her services are one of the best investments I've made!"

"Susan more than exceeded our expectations! Not only was she on time and courteous, but she was personable and respectful as well. Going into someone's home and telling them that they need to get rid of things that are cluttering up their lives has to be very difficult at times. But Susan manages to help you see that you really don't need something without casting a judgement or making you feel bad that you've kept it this long or in this place. Her way of asking if perhaps it might serve us better in another location, gives us the opportunity to move it, let go of it or leave it where it was :) Our home is a MUCH nicer place to live now with Susan's assistance. Her time and energies have been invaluable to us! We would recommend her to ANYONE with need of an organizer."

"Susan has changed how I feel about my surroundings. The ironic part is, people used to comment on how neat and organized my home was. However, appearing organized and being organized are two very different things. I struggled to effectively manage my busy household, felt frustrated and scattered most days, and often forgot where I put things. My entire family seemed to pay the price for my inefficiency. She helped me to create systems to simplify how I run my busy household and keep it running more efficiently. Now, I enjoy my home so much since I’ve been working with Susan. When we work on a space, she helps me to see the bigger picture and always suggests something that makes a big difference in my daily life. We have tackled my laundry room, pantry, home office, command center, master closet, and storage cabinets throughout my home. The garage is next! She is gifted, has vision, and loves what she does, which is what I needed. Because of Susan, I now feel like I run my home instead of it running me!"

"Susan helped me to identify my organizational needs and provided solutions that met them. The room was transformed from a messy storage room into one that was both functional and nicely decorated. As one of my friends said, ‘This room used to just have pieces of paper taped to the wall and books piled on the desk. Now it looks fantastic!’ The best piece of advice given to me by Susan was to only handle a piece of paper once. The new room is now set up so that I can immediately put something away in its designated spot out of sight, and can retrieve it instantly when I need it. The best thing about the new room is that I not only had enough space to have all my reference materials and files at hand, but also was able to get all my collectibles and mementos out of their storage boxes and put them on display as decorative objects, enabling me to really enjoy the room because of their special meaning to me.”

"Susan helped organize our children's bedroom and playroom. As we worked, she asked questions and focused on our family's routines and habits, so that the organization of the rooms would match our lifestyle. My children now have dedicated places that make sense for their clothes, toys and treasures. And thanks to Susan's organization, they are much better at cleaning their rooms and putting their things where they belong."

"I have been very happy with my choice of an organizer: Susan Stewart, Perfectly Placed. With her help I have gotten my pantry functioning for the entire family. My two sons and husband even put things back where they found them more often than not which is a huge improvement. Walking in the pantry and finding what I need when I need it is a pleasure. The next job we tackled was the laundry room and storage room, a large job. It doesn't seem like such a big deal but having a specially labeled spot for items that have been placed in just the right area gets my work done more efficiently. I had not realized how many items I would buy; cleaners, laundry detergent, light bulbs, etc. I bought only because I didn't know I already had them. Now a quick look and I know just what I need, both in the laundry room and pantry. I am still unpacking from 2 moves in less than a year and with Susan's help it is a doable job now. When my master closet is done, wow that will feel good, then we hit the boys rooms! Thanks, Susan."

"The chaotic state of my home felt overwhelming to me and I didn’t know where to start. From our first meeting, Susan’s calm, professional, focused manner helped me to feel hopeful. Committing to have her come once a month, (we are on month five now) has been amazing! She has shown me many simple and practical solutions and the clutter is melting away. I feel so empowered now. Thank you Susan, for helping me move from chaos to order!"
