Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of products do you use and what is their cost?
Part of organizing includes containment using items such as baskets and bins. I use products based on your budget, the aesthetics of your home, and your desires. I will reuse your current products if they work with improving the functionality of your space.
Products range in price depending on the material and level of quality. I will use products that respect your budget. Project products are a direct reimbursement to Organize with Leslie once the project is complete.
How do I maintain my space once you complete the job?
I create organizational systems specifically for you that are easy to maintain. However, we all lead busy lives and sometimes your space may need a bit of TLC. I am available to refresh an already organized space for existing clients.
What happens when you come to my home?
HERE’S THE PROCESS:
START FRESH - All contents are removed from the space I am organizing in order to start the project with a clean slate. This allows me to understand the space in terms of scope and size, and gives me an inventory of the products in the space.
SORT - All items are sorted into categories to give me an idea of the organizational systems I will need to create.
DECLUTTER - Once the inventory is sorted, we declutter. With each item, we decide if you NEED it, USE it, or LOVE it. If it doesn't meet one of these three criteria, it will likely be donated, recycled or thrown away.
SPACE PLAN - My goal is to accommodate the items you have in your home and plan the space for maximum efficiency and functionality.
