TESTIMONIALS

My office was small, my writing life was full – books, papers, more books, more papers, what a mess.  Then along came Tricia O'Kelley to clear away the clutter, with methods of organization so elegantly simple, so natural both to me and to my stuff, that when she went away it all stayed put, and I was able to keep the chaos at bay with hardly any effort at all.  Like rolling a fresh clean sheet of paper into the typewriter, Tricia gave me room to move and think and begin again.

"I was going through a divorce and had to sell my home. I had accumulated sixteen years worth of stuff and didn't even know where to begin, and I was completely overwhelmed by how much there was to do. And then Tricia came in and created a clear plan on how to purge, organize, and get my house ready for sale--step by step. By tackling one drawer, one closet, one room at a time, she made it all seem doable, and she was incredibly sensitive and compassionate during a very difficult time for me. By the time she was done, my house looked beautiful and clean and polished, and when my broker saw the results, he increased the sale price by $25,000, and it sold over asking! I cannot say enough about Tricia. She played a huge part in helping me begin the next chapter of my life. Tricia has a keen understanding of people's situations and needs, and she can turn something that seems sad into something positive and hopeful. Tricia taught me so much about letting go and moving forward, that I have since become a certified divorce coach, so that I can help people through transitions like she helped me. Tricia is so much more than a professional organizer, and I can't recommend her highly enough."

- Alex K., divorce coach, mother of 2 teens

"Tricia's talents and energy amaze me. As we transitioned to an empty nest, Tricia was thoughtful, sensitive and creative as we re-worked spaces in our house and implemented systems for controlling clutter, something I struggle with even without kids underfoot. I'll continue to use her periodically to scan (and fix) problem areas in my home."

"Tricia O'Kelley is a brilliant Type A organizer. I just spent the last two days with her and she completely transformed my closet. It feels amazing to walk into my closet now, she made it look like a boutique clothing store! My closet looks spectacular, and I can find things effortlessly now because of Tricia. I can't tell you what a force Tricia, and she's a blast. She's the best gift you can give yourself! I can't wait to work with her again and have her clean, organize and transform my garage. She can organize your closets, garage, kitchen, or whole house. She'll help you declutter your life, and you'll have fun doing it!"

- Lisa P., realtor

"Tricia is an organizing wizard! Not only does she have a keen eye for a modern aesthetic, but she helps organize in the most thoughtful and unobtrusive way. She helped organize my pantry and kitchen cabinets by gently suggestion what is really no longer necessary, while offering solutions in a practical and truly beautiful way. She's a mom, so she gets it! But she's able to see the bigger picture of having a more organized household and ultimately, a happier home. Thank you, Just Be Organizing!"

- Kerry R., teacher, mother of 2 tweens

"Tricia came to our home over three days and really transformed it to a much more usable space. Our home is clean and relatively organized, but what Tricia really helped us with was making the home easier to use and manage. I'll start with our kitchen: she made sure that it was easier to get things from the dishwasher to our drawers and cabinets, and put items around the stove that made it easier to prep a meal without walking all over the kitchen. Small moves that really save so much time. We also have a small laundry closet that she not only organized, but also added so much more function to. While she was here, she also gave us lots of tricks to make the kids' closets more usable, and helped us shed many things we haven't touched in a while. We are enjoying these rooms so much more now.

We recommend her services and her company as well!"

- Tony H., musician, father of 3 boys

"Tricia, your organizing skills are amazing. Thank you for the way you cleared the clutter, simplified our functions, and organized our home so it was in excellent shape when my husband returned from a very long hospital stay."

- Pat O., retiree, grandmother of 8

"I really had no idea how I was going to move into my new home before my kids came back from their mom’s. I only had two days to get settled in, and one of those days was a work day. Tricia showed up at the house in the morning and by the time I got home from work, the kitchen and dining room were completely unpacked and organized, and every room in the house was already livable. She works FAST. The next day she put away all the clothes and organized all the closets. By the time my kids got home, the house looked great, their rooms were set up, and they got to jump right into decorating their new rooms. Such a huge help!"

- Gerard M., software developer, father of 2 tweens

"I recently renovated a room in our house to use as my office/dressing room. The room came out great, but it was too cluttered and disorganized for me to use. Enter Tricia O'Kelley Organizing!!! Tricia came in and reorganized, repurposed, and decluttered the room, and my life. She was patient and kind, while still doing what needed to be done. The room turned out so great, that I had her do our linen closet. And now I'm waiting for her to come back and do the kitchen. I'm now in my room all the time and I'm actually getting things done. I can't recommend Tricia enough. She comes in to organize your home, but she winds up de-stressing your life."

- Romelle R., actress

"I recently had Tricia help me organize my bedroom closets and drawers, and it was the most satisfying experience ever. She arrived armed with all sorts of organizing goodies, and proceeded to declutter and transform my space. It looks absolutely perfect, and it brings me joy every time I open my closets. I'm having Tricia come back to do the kitchen soon!"

- Meredith Q., jewelry designer, mother of 3

"Tricia, I have been in the weeds physically and emotionally lately, and the mound of clutter started to pile up on my desks. I let it build for 2 weeks and felt despair. THEN, I remembered that you fixed this problem for me, and I put everything away--properly--in 15 minutes. The old me would have left it, felt like crap about it, and allowed it to happen because my life is crazy. But you fixed me!!! Put this on your website: what you do is more than just organization, it's meaningful for my mental health."
