I hired Deb and Freespaces to assist my daughter in organizing her new home during her husband's brief deployment. My daughter, a nurse and military spouse with two young children, was eager to organize her kitchen, pantry, laundry room and living space, but lacked the time or expertise to do so. Deb was a godsend. In just one day, she transformed two pantries, made order out of chaos in the laundry room, and along the way coached us on the how's and why's of her approach. She also offered excellent space planning advice and ways to make the home more family-friendly while also looking tidy and attractive and provided my daughter with the best products to finish the organizing effort. All in all, a great investment. And her husband was thrilled with the results when he returned home.

Thank you, Anne! It was great fun working with you both and was so happy to have the opportunity to help. I love assisting young moms (particularly military spouses) with young kids because simplifying and organizing the home has such a BIG impact on making every day easier and more efficient . Thank you for the opportunity! You or Katie are always welcome to get in touch for organizing info or advice. Deb

Although we had to cancel due to external circumstances, Deb was wonderful in preparation to get us all packed up for a move. She was quick to contact me and go over the job. She provided me with options and helped out with selecting the supplies we'd need.

I hired Deb Smulyan to help declutter, organize, and make better use of all the space in my home. From Day 1, she provided highly professional services and hands-on help, from figuring out the big picture to focusing on details that really help make a difference. Now I have a decluttered kitchen and laundry room. She works hard, provides great product recommendations, and makes tough tasks seem easy. I can’t wait to finish the rest of my house with Deb. I can say first-hand it is worth every penny. Just call Deb

Denice is a delight! She is always up for the task at hand, and also willing to let me "do my thing" to improve her space. Denice wants to LOVE living in her home, and I am committed to helping her achieve her vision.

Deb was a pleasure to work with! She assisted in helping my parents move in to their new house. Deb was very thorough in gathering as many details about what was required of her before beginning the work. We were unfortunately only able to work together one day as there were some complications due to COVID which forced us to postpone the rest of the required work, but in that one day she was able to organize an entire kitchen which is impressive considering my parents had just moved in to their new house and everything was in random boxes that were unlabeled. Additionally she had some consultations with my mother to help give her some tools to continue organizing and preparing for their next collaboration once it's safe for them to work together again. I would highly recommend Deb for any of your home organization needs!

Deb is absolutely amazing! We hired her to help our mom organize her home and make things more efficient for her. The visible progress in a short amount of time has been awesome. She is kind, patient, and very personable. We enjoy her visits and love working with her. She has my highest recommendations and I look forward to using her services in the future in my own home.

Jessica is amazing! She wins "Good Daughter" award for contacting FREESPACES to help her mom get organized, and her insight, intelligence and hands-on help ensured her wonderful mom and I got off to a good start. They are both a pleasure to work with, and her mom is a "model" client -- open to ideas, able to communicate likes and dislikes, and highly motivated to accomplish our goals! While she had some issues and anxiety about the process beforehand, once we got started she gained confidence and focus, and the project is moving quickly and smoothly as a result. I feel fortunate that Thumbtack brought us all together. Thanks, Jessica, for all your support. - Deb
