Introduction
Hi! My name is Caroline, owner of Caroline by Design. I completely understand how overwhelming life can get. Between busy schedules and daily commitments, finding time to organize your home feels almost impossible. You’ve probably made a great effort to declutter before, only to feel frustrated when things quickly revert back to where they started. It's tough to stay on top of everything, especially when you're pulled in so many directions. After 10 years of helping families and individuals create organized, functional spaces, I’ve seen firsthand how much stress and energy can be freed up by making your home work for you. I'd love to chat about how we can take the burden of clutter off your shoulders and create a lasting solution that fits your lifestyle.

We looked at starting what was easiest to sort and categorize and got started. Cleared a lot of paperwork and planned for the next part of decluttering and organizing.

Details: Paper management • Storage advice • Removal of unwanted items • In-home office • Bedrooms • Closets • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Unorganized

Thank you for the great feedback! I’m so glad we could kick things off with a clear plan and tackle those first steps together. Clearing that paperwork is a huge accomplishment, and I’m excited to continue the journey with you as we move into the next stages of decluttering and organizing!

Caroline’s patience and understanding of my husband’s collection was greatly appreciated. Our time together often felt like therapy, but he needed to be heard rather than simply told to get rid of his stuff. In the end, he was able to get rid of stuff on his own, which was a much better experience than in the past.

Details: Space planning • Storage advice • In-home office • Less than 500 sq ft • Unorganized

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm grateful to have helped create a supportive space where your husband felt heard and empowered. It was truly a pleasure working with you both, and I’m so glad it was a positive experience!

Thanks to Caroline I was able to reorganize my files and downsize my paper load before I moving. Still working on it all but the progress is being made thanks to her Zoom support. She was flexible with me and able to work within my budget. When I move in I will be calling her again for more help. I need a lot.

Details: Moving preparation • Paper management • Storage advice • Removal of unwanted items • Closets • In-home office • Storage area • Less than 500 sq ft • Moderately organized

Caroline helped us transform our garage from chaotic and ulcer-inducing to an area of calm and respite. Since it was also my husband's workshop area, I was worried how he would respond to the organizing effort but she instantly found common ground with him, figured out his pain points as well as his preferred working style, and was able to make more headway in a single day than I had been able to in years. Overall, the garage now functions better than we hoped and Caroline even helped us plan for room to grow as well as provided tips and techniques for staying on track and keeping it organized. We actually bring guests through the garage when touring the house now!
