Residential Testimonials

“Mary, I am enjoying my room! Thank you so much for helping me get on track. You made it seem so easy. I don’t know how I could have done it without you, Mary. My biggest wish is that everyone could be as easy to work with as you. All the best!” -- Lalla Phillips

“Mary, I was so embarrassed about my messes and didn’t want to have any one see my situation. When you are so buried it is the hardest time to ask for help, but I could tell from talking to you, you understood. When you came, you made me feel so comfortable and were not judgmental. I always felt so much better at the end of each appointment.” -- Marge Hughes

Mary’s comment, “This was a lovely home that always looked ‘decorator perfect,’ but my client knew she had two different lives—one company saw and one she lived with—closets, drawer, and kitchen cabinet on overload.”

our questions." -- UT class participant

Estate Organizing

“After many months of single-handedly cleaning out my parents’ house, I had reached an emotional standstill. Mary gently guided me to the completion of this draining but necessary task. I could not have finished without her.” -- Susan Barkley

“I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did on helping me clean out my mother’s house after her death. What you did in three days would have taken me three years! You gently but firmly led me through the decisions of what to keep, what to give, what to sell. You kept me on task and kept our timetable in mind. You even arranged for antique dealers to come to the house and helped me take things to a consignment shop. Your calm patience and systematic approach to chaos make conquering the mess a pleasant task. You were a life saver!” -- Louise Sweatt

“I was ‘frozen’ and couldn’t finish up my husband’s estate, and the deadline was drawing near. Mary came and worked with me through the last stacks of paper. I had managed the financial part of my husband’s medical practice but just couldn’t do this. Mary helped me to see it wasn’t a deficiency on my part, and she was very encouraging and supportive.” -- Katie Tindell

Home-Based Business Office

“What a wonderful experience to enter my office each morning to face a clear desk with wood showing! I greatly appreciate your persistence and grace in making me deal with some very old stacks that I had been avoiding. What a difference your guidance and ideas have made! In appreciation.” -- Laura Rowe

“I’m tons more efficient and calmer. Being organized has made a huge difference. I don’t have any more stacks on my floor or desk. Getting organized cleared my head.” -- Aleex Hopkins

“Getting my office organized was a refreshing break from the chaos and disorder in my office. I could barely walk in there. After years of attempting to do it myself I finally called Clutter-Free & Organized. Working with Mary not only organized my office but I also learned the procedures necessary to keep it that way.” -- Rick Hines

“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you did for me in my office.” -- Nancy Canestraro

“Your skills, patience, and positive attitude make Monday a Day of Achievement. I love going into my office now, and because it looks so good, I am energized to work on other clutter areas.” --Laura Barron

“I’m sitting at my perfectly clean and clutter-free desk, thinking of you with gratitude! I loved working with you.” --Lynne Harr

Families & Children

“Thank you for helping me get my room organized. I can’t even begin to explain how much better it feels to be able to sit with my friends in my room and not have to climb over a mountain of junk to do it! Thank you so much!” -- Teenager

Parent on doing children’s play area: “Before you worked with me the kids didn’t go in. The children were thrilled. They just loved it and started playing in the room that evening. Before the toys were so scattered they didn’t know what was there.” -- K. Y.

Parent: “Having Mary work with my teenagers has helped in several ways: Because she came in as a neutral person, my son and daughter listened to Mary’s suggestions, and it has greatly improved their rooms. She also was a big help in getting my daughter packed for college.”

“Mary, I just had to tell you after you and I did the organizing project of the garage, my 8-year-old came home from school and organized the glasses in the kitchen, the refrigerator, and even his drawers—all on his own.” -- Aleex Hopkins

Patricia Bible, showing me how organized her son’s closet is now at age 15—after my working with him at age 8—called it “Mary’s legacy.” “This is what you taught him.”
