Introduction: Welcome to The Fabulous Giraffe, thanks for stopping by. From this point forward, things will be viewed through your "fabulous" lens. And if it isn't, we will change it, together! We provide the following services Business: Resume Writing Home Office Organization File Systems Technology App Support to streamline daily activities Personal: Furniture Painting Cabinet Painting Tub and Shower re-surfacing Light Upholstery Personal Shopping Please read on to learn more about how we came to be! I'm a young "old soul" who believes in the era where life was less complicated, texting didn't dominate the day, and personal service and quality were what kept a business thriving. Where life had more meaning that the next conference call. I was just like you. Overworked, overwhelmed and undervalued. So I decided to shift that thinking and come up with easy systems that can quickly be put into place to cover those pesky little things that sneak up on us in life. We coach clients from A to Z. Everything from organizing a closet, helping you put together an automated budget, setting up grocery delivery, putting your unused items on Ebay and Craigslist for $ in your pocket, help you hire services in a cost versus money scenario. We help you simplify, choose only that which is essential and remind you to breath. We believe in extreme self care. We aren't adverse to getting our hands dirty for the first round of transformation. Yes, we can DIY for you at an affordable price. We can do windows, clean out icky freezers, paint those cabinet that DiYers make look so easy but really seem too overwhelming to undertake, we upgrade fireplaces, we help you throw out files of old refrigerator manuals you no longer own and cheer as you do. cheering away in your corner to get you stated or to execute in full. Any energy draining or unpleasant tasks that zaps your energy. Ian's we teach you how to easily keep it that way. We organize not only garages, closets, and drawers, but transfer that knowledge to you. We employ tactics you can execute ONE TIME and maintain. And after years of doing this we know what works for one does not work for another. An adult with ADD needs different systems than does a child with a overcrowded schedule. Two professionals, a nanny, and 2.5 kids plus red dog rover require a different simple solution than Bob and Connie who are just thrilled at their new empty nester status, but not yet retired. And then we offer concierge services for all groups from young to wise beyond their years. We laugh, we will be your cheerleaders, we help coach and guide you. Grace. I love watching Grace in action. I enjoy seeing a CEO remember how it feels to ride a bike with the sunshine on his face. I love to see the mom, professional, sister, daughter and friend be reminded she is a sexy, powerful women who deserves self care and when simplified her life is newly exciting. I love seeing the courage it takes to step out of our busy culture and be content with simple and settled. To set boundaries and separate family time from work. And how inevitableu, work efficiency improves when parameters are put around the life sucking, every minute of everyday access that is so expected in our culture .

Amy performed many services for us to help us prepare to sell a home and we believe as such we received about 35 k profit on a house we were getting bids to barely break Even. Amy was exceptional to work with. She was very customer focused and willing to go the extra mile. She treats the project and investment we made into it as though she were spending her own money making recommendations that saved us significant dollars. She was willing to work around our schedule and cleaned up after herself. Cabinets- She did an amazing job painting the cabinets in our kitchen, bathrooms, and in the built in computer desk area in our family room. They look like brand new cabinets at a fraction of the cost of other bids received or replacing the cabinets with new ones. I would recommend her to everyone. Fireplace- painted dated red brick fireplaces. I was against this "up cycle" as Amy called it, but it increased the value of our home and added a stunning focal point. Amy simply painted one fireplace white with white mantle ( from red brick and oak wood) and another a light grey with black mantle. Both are stunning and helped transform the room from 1995 to today. Painting. Amy updated our outdated dining room from a dark maroon to a two tone taupe/grey with white on top and changed all oak wood trim to white. It's truly stunning She hired individuals to paint the 20ft entryway as she said she knew her limitations and using scaffolding is one them. Lol She painted all our rooms a consistent and neutral color and updated/painted trim and doors to white or black. I was against black but it is amazing. The black door is gorgeous and I almost wish we'd chosen more black. (She hired out the white 6 panel doors based in time versus dollar investment and we agreed) She also helped clean (yes, clean) some pretty damaged rental abused shower back into the gleaming marble showpiece it once was. I didn't think that was possible. Finally, she cleaned an unckeanable shower stall floor that I was certain would need replacing. Removed grime,paint, rusted drain etc. it looks new. Amy's attitude was pleasant when my spouse and I were frustrated or ready to give up. We would recommend her, her energy, her know how ( and this was a corporate technology sales person for 20 years who just wanted a change) time and again We received 35k PROFIT after expenses to Amy, materials and realtor. When we originally placed on market it was going to lose us money.
