Simple Order At Home

Heather is the best! To be honest, I was a little nervous about having someone come into my mess and judge me (that’s how I thought it would go). But Heather is so kind! She is gentle when you need it, but firm when you need that too. She pushed me and my husband to consider whether or not we really needed x, y, and z. The remarkable thing is that we’d previously been bickering about how I did want to keep x (even though the hubby didn’t) and how he wanted to keep y (even though I didn’t). Heather is the perfect moderator, using logic and common sense to cool tempers and leaving our space in working order.
She’s not just about organizing and editing your space, but about creating patterns that work. So she’ll look at how your laundry stacks up and come up with a system that will eliminate the congestion so that the chore that you’ve been dreading is now so tidy, you almost look forward to it.
Honestly, my closet looks like it belongs in a magazine. When I get dressed in the morning (and first thing I’m not usually a smiler), I smile looking at all my clothes neatly arranged! Heather is worth her weight in gold!

The work Heather has done at our place has been nothing short of amazing. She doubled our kitchen counter space, completely re-​organized our closets, and somehow made our study orderly. Cleaning is much easier and less stressful now that there isn’t so much crap in the way. Heather is also incredibly easy to work with, she’s firm but considerate with her recommendations and always listens to what we have to say. Highly highly recommended.

We’ve lived in our home for the last 26 years and have raised 5 children here! As you can imagine, there is a lot of ‘stuff’, and sadly I can’t say a lot of it is from my children! Sometimes you just don’t know where to start, and feel overwhelmed and just try to ignore the goal at hand.
Being ‘empty nesters’ now, we felt it was time to consolidate, purge organize and simplify. Heather was the perfect person to assist with this daunting undertaking! She doesn’t hesitate a bit to just dig right in! She does this with patience, an understanding & empathy knowing that some of your ‘stuff’ has sentimental value and is hard to part with. I love how she made piles… piles to keep, toss, give to charity and most of all how to organize the items we chose to keep the most. She’s knows just what to do! I will forever be grateful to her for being such a great partner as we dug thru so, so, many things. I now know where everything is… there is a place for it all and room to spare. I feel a feeling of such satisfaction and accomplishment and way more productive in my life with organized surroundings!
I would HIGHLY recommend Simple Order at Home and Heather without a moments hesitation. You will NOT find a better person to help you simplify your life!

It has been a pleasure working with Heather. I can’t thank her enough for putting an end to the chaos at my house with a baby and toddler. She’s very easy to work with. She’s efficient with time and is very hands on from start to finish. I’ve worked with an organizer before to get rid of stuff from my house when my son was born. What Heather did differently was that she put systems in place that I could easily follow. She works around the systems we already have and try to make it more efficient. Both my husband and I are so impressed that we’re able to keep our house tidy in just a few minutes instead of an hour each night. I no longer have to stay up all night cleaning the house.
She reorganized my entire kitchen, pantry, laundry area, play room. She rearranged furniture in our family room to provide more space and less clutter. She understands family dynamics very well especially providing a safe and learning environment for kids. The first thing my son said when he came home after Heather rearranged his play area, «Mommy there’s space!». He’s enjoying playing with his legos and trains in and able to easily clean up after himself. Even my son loves that there’s a learning corner in our family room and he can access his puzzles easily. Heather would bring everything to be donated with her and provide me a receipt on our next session. That in itself saves me a lot of time and energy. She never leaves without tidying up the area we are working on. She cheers me on every time I give or throw something away that it makes it easier to purge.
She’s very good with design as well which we didn’t have with our previous organizer. She gives suggestions on how to have a cleaner look on our walls and living areas.
My husband and I are enjoying our home again. If I ever move to another house, I’ll hire Heather again in a heart beat. My husband refers to hiring her as money well spent!

It was nice to finally have a professional come to my house and help me redecorate and purge unwanted and unneeded clutter. What’s even nicer is to have someone like Heather because she is very passionate and enthusiastic with what she does. She was very helpful getting me organized and getting rid of stuff that I should’ve dumped long ago. Dated things that I held onto far too long. She worked with me on rearranging my decorations but made sure that it was my style and not hers. She has great ideas but doesn’t insist on her style. I would definitely recommend Heather to my friends and family and whoever needs help decorating, organizing or just rearranging.

I have always been a skeptic about someone coming into my home to help me organize. Some of my doubts included:
1– They might not hear me and respect my boundaries (throw anything out)
2– They won’t understand my system of doing things (pushy with how they do it)
But when I met Heather and she offered her services, I decided to give it a try. I was completely surprised with the whole experience and it was very positive!
I told all my friends and family that the experience was amazing and that she helped me confront problems, disorganization, and ruts that I could not see through until she stepped in. She respected my voice and was very personable, non-​judgmental, and understanding. She helped me spread my wings and find peace and liberation in home organization. She helped me maximize what resources I already had, taught me some daily quick tips on how to stay organized, gutted out and organized the scary problem areas, and even had ideas on styling up my home! We had a lot of fun and got tons done all while making me feel empowered as the keeper of my home. I would highly recommend her!

When I moved to San Jose a year and a half ago we downsized our home and I was in trouble… I had too much stuff for such a small space! I tried to edit and get rid of items we weren’t using, but I was getting nowhere fast on my own. Heather came over and helped me understand not only the things I needed to get rid of, but also how to maximize the space that I have. Not only is Heather an organizing queen, she also has a great eye for style. As part of our consultation she gave me tips for rearranging my furniture as well as finding great accent pieces. Heather’s organizing help in my home has been priceless.

Heather really knows her stuff! When I was moving into a new house she could see a space and visualize how it would function best. Heather can help you pare your belongings down quickly and efficiently. Her ideas are welcome in an age of «stuff». I thought I had gotten rid of so much stuff, she showed me where I can let go of even more items. She has made a difference in our home for the better. We are happy with the functionality and look of our home.

This is a great service! Heather is personable and easy to work with. I thought I was pretty organized, but she showed me ways to be even more organized. Her skills helped a lot when I was transitioning from babies to big kids. She has the knack for making life simpler!

Heather has a great talent for organizing. Not only does she tackle the issues at hand, but she has a vision for how they fit into the grand scheme of things. She is very intuitive with the use of space, color, practicality and cost. The changes she can make are sometimes simple, but have a big impact. She has helped me with both children’s bedrooms and a kitchen remodel. Her ideas are fresh, attainable and flexible. She wants to help you succeed, and will work until you have done so. From something as simple as a stuffed dresser, to that overwhelming garage, Heather has solutions and will ensure you are able to implement them. She works to make processes fit into the lifestyle of your family, this is big part of her plan. She’s loves what she does and it shows. I would definitely recommend her to others.

I have had Heather come to home several times in the past few years. I have lived in 3 different houses and in each one she was able to help me out a lot. She first helped me re-​do my whole entire kitchen and made it much more functional. She is very thoughtful and puts a lot of time and energy into making systems work. She has helped me organize my desk area and reduce a TON of clutter and my laundry area as well as my walk-​in food pantry. She knows how to help customers «let go» of things that they just really don’t need in their lives anymore. I have seen her in action with another customer as she cleaned out the entire garage over the course of a few weeks and it looks amazing. She is very fun to work with and a really good person to be around. If you are thinking of using a personal organizer… Heather is your girl!!!
