Simplicity

The professionalism and efficiency of Simply Organizers are impeccable. Emily and her team came into my home with a grand plan for our kitchen and pantry spaces. I love tidy countertops and organized shelves and drawers. They met my expectation and MORE! Adding new serving pieces and eliminating those that weren't being used streamlined our areas in such a way that makes everyday life and special occasions so enjoyable for my family! Nicole S.

What an incredibly gift Simplicity is it our city. Not only have they served our foster families and social workers but they have come alongside our non profit to help us organize our new space. This has been an incredible gift. Their people, wisdom and insight is unmatched!

Where to even start!? Simplicity Organizers TRANSFORMED the uniform/storage closet at our Title 1 school. They took decades of clothes, backpacks, random school supplies (think giant junk drawer if you will) and made it all make sense. Plus they were so professional and lovely I did not want them to leave! Walking into the closet with a student to find what they need most is now a happy, rewarding experience. THANK YOU!

I can hardly find the right words to explain or describe to the greater planet earth how much y’all rock it out! There is such happiness in order, particularly, in one’s home & literal sanctuary. After more than 10 years of truly single parenting 3 kids, working and solo managing a household, this Mr. Mom cant begin to say enough about how near soulfully cleansing is was and how life changing it remains for me to have had Shyla and your awesome team in our home and working your magic. Less is more .. Thanks a ton & beyond for creating SO much less for us and, as a result, giving us a whole lot more!

HIGHLY recommend this amazing group of women!! Would never consider moving again without their help on BOTH the front end (throwing out, decluttering, organizing pre move) and the back (unpacking and organizing at new house). Going through almost every single item in my house before we moved prevented moving a significant amount of boxes that were give away or throw away. It made packing easy and organized. It would have taken me a month or more to unpack and organize at the new house but with the Simplicity team we had every box unpacked in 4 days. I consider myself organized but they are next level. Closets, bedrooms, kitchen, entire house was unpacked in a thoughtful way that works well for my families personal needs. All the women were polite, helpful and easy to work with. The team leader helped execute the most efficient plan each day. They are worth their weight on gold!!

The simplicity organizers are very professional and a lot of fun. Lisa helped me so much I looked forward to her help and great ideas. Organizing is so rewarding!I highly recommend these girls!

We had a wonderful experience with Simplicity Organizers. The prelim walk-through was eye-opening, and the Head Organizer sent along a thoughtful plan with additional thoughts for other parts of the house. On the actual day, 4 specialists showed up ready to work. They helped clear space and set up a functional system that will be easy to maintain. What they managed to accomplish in 5 hours is more than I've been able to do alone in 5 years. This was such a treat! Highly recommend.

Had Emily’s help with organizing my kitchen and bathrooms after just moving into a new townhome. It was absolute chaos and my brain just doesn’t work in this 3D way. She made my spaces flow so well and I want her to organize my whole house now!

From the moment we met Laurie and team we knew this whole experience would be nothing short of exceptional. Simplicity brought back function and routine to our home. With kids, I no longer worry about the mess they will make - everything has a place it can return to. We love the way our home look, feel and functions.

If I could give Jess and her team more than five stars, I would! After a major water leak, I needed my kitchen and pantry organized and packed up quickly. I cannot believe how efficient and organized they were and how much we accomplished. I never could have managed this project by myself. I highly recommend Simplicity Organizers and I will certainly be using them again.

I received a gift card for Simplicity Organizers and it is the best present I've had in a long time!!! Jesse and Melissa were amazing! They took my craft/office room from a place I avoided to a room I never want to leave. They were so wonderful to work with and made it so easy to decide what to keep and what to donate! They were fun, easy to work with and fast! My room has never been so organized! I can find everything! I will say I was very skeptical when my girls gave me the gift card, but I can't wait to do more!! We all think we can do organize by ourselves, but never get around to it! Now it is so easy to stay organized! Thank you for making my room a place I want to go and can be creative - the stress is gone!!!

Simplicity Organizers has been working with the school that I work at for the last few years. They always go above and beyond for us. The services they offer extend far beyond organization. They have completely transformed three spaces at our school: Our PE closet, teacher workspace and community wellness center, The Lighthouse. Before Simplicity we were not able to use these spaces effectively. They were filled with junk and stressed everyone out. People used these places as dumping grounds! Simplicity helped us not only organize and declutter but they taught us and helped us create a system that works for our school. We not only have a clean space, but we also KEEP a clean space. The spaces are now used on a daily basis and the systems that were created run themselves. We now know what materials we have and can clearly identify when we are in need of something new. I cannot recommend Simplicity enough. They are also very sustainable and will make sure to find a new home for your "junk" so you do not have to throw it away. They are always seeking to serve the community, they make you feel at ease and never embarrassed. Truly, WE LOVE THEM! Do yourself a favor, and hire Simplicity!

Jess and Melissa were great to work with on organizing our pantry/kitchen! Jess was our main point of contact and was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. You can tell they both love what they do. They had great ideas on how to organize things to maximize the way we use our current space. We can't wait to have them back for more projects in the future!

We had Simplicity Organizers come to our house and organize our playroom. They pulled toys from all over the house and sorted/organized it all into the playroom. So not only is our playroom organized- the rest of the house is clean and decluttered!! They were on-time, efficient, and friendly. We plan on using them again for our basement storage and after seeing the magic they worked today- we can’t wait! Highly recommend!

Working with these women made moving and organizing while working full time and parenting three littles during a pandemic enjoyable. I didn’t think it was possible, but they did it and in such a fun, safe and respectful way. I cannot recommend these Simplicity Organizers enough. They can handle projects (and budgets) big and small and everything in between.They set up two pantries in our new house and organized our new kitchen in a way that everyone (kids and adults) can access what they need. They are true professionals who asked tons of questions up front, helped me think about how to get these spaces functioning appropriately for our needs and came prepped and ready for set up.The biggest lift for these ladies, and our family, was sorting and downsizing more than 50 years of stuff. Initially it felt like sorting family heirlooms, sentimental items to straight up junk was impossible, but our trifecta of organizers had seen it all. Their experience, sensitivity and sense of humor kept my husband and I moving forward. Miraculously, we accomplished our goal to safely sort through, pack up and part way our old house.With our needs, it was important to have a group of professionals who could help us manage our emotions associated with letting go of material possessions no longer serving us or our family. It was also important to work together safely as we have some health issues and young children. We took all necessary precautions without hesitation, which was incredibly reassuring.All in all, this was our first time working with professional organizers and their expertise made all the difference. We successfully set up areas in our new house and sorted our way out of our old house. It felt great and we can’t thank Simplicity Organizers enough.

Jess O'Rourke with Simplicity Organizers is phenomenal. Her initial consultation was well worth the fee, providing me with detailed notes and ideas, as well as links to products and inspiration pages to help me think through my basement playroom renovation and and toy organization. For the installation day, Jess and her team brought everything needed to sort, organize, label and display items in a way that delivers peace and tranquility...in a playroom storage closet! She even removed items I no longer needed and took them to a donation destination. The whole project took only 5 hours from arrival to departure - they work quickly and efficiently. Jess is a parent of three children and favors function over fuss - her ideas are practical, useful and just make sense. I can't wait to call on Jess and Simplicity again!

Jess was a mailing label genius sorting my Christmas card mailing list and printing out cute labels for our Christmas cards. Simplicity makes sending Christmas cards so easy and painless. Thank you!!! I will book their services each and every year.

Laurie Martin is the real deal. She led a Classroom Organizational Tips Workshop for our community of educators, and her presentation was so thorough, insightful, creative, and packed full of practical tips for simplifying and organizing spaces for teachers and students. Our teachers raved about the workshop and were so grateful Laurie shared her expertise. Thank you, Laurie!

The Simplicity Team's work has been life changing!! They are not only non-judgmental and encouraging (which was very important to me as I let them into the middle of my chaos and clutter), they are practical and empowering. My house feels lighter and more welcoming, and I feel so much freer in it! I will definitely be calling on them again as I continue to go through various rooms in my house!!Wendy Osborn

I was given a gift certificate for Simplicity's services for my birthday, and it was such a pleasure to work with Laurie, Sarah, and the team! They really listened to my needs, worked with what I had, and helped me organize my kitchen in a tidy and logical way. Highly recommend!

Ashley Stahlschmidt

I attended the pantry and the supplies workshops and they were amazing! It was so clear and concise. I learned so much about getting a kitchen organized and efficient. The information she gave about what products can be used most effectively was very informative and useful. I am already looking at what workshops are coming up that I can sign up for! Highly recommend!!

Kristen Chesser Miller

I can't say enough about Laurie Martin and her team of organizers at Simplicity! I started out working with Simplicity by taking a few of their workshops and they were just the thing we needed to get serious about getting organized! Their methods have worked so well for us, in learning how to minimize and live with less clutter. The workshops have totally changed how we think about our "stuff", but it's still a work in progress! We are having them in our home to help put the finishing touches on our organization as we prepare for another addition to our family and can't wait for the final result!

wendy petricoff

I’ve taken 3 simplicity workshops. The workshops are well organized and informative-but the best part is that I always have 2 or 3 great organizing takeaways that I can easily implement. And it’s nice to be in a community of people who are willing to share best practices, tips and tricks. Highly recommend!

When my wife told me that she had engaged Simplicity to help organize our home, I quietly rolled my eyes and thought about the countless other home organization expenditures we have made in the past. At the end of the job, I was amazed as our house felt so much bigger! With the rising cost of real estate, this was an easy way to increase the size and enjoyment of our home without a major construction project. Eventually we did move and asked Simplicity to help us set up our new home so we can be efficient from the start. The results are amazing and the team is top notch.
