Introduction: IMPORTANT UPDATE: AUGUST 2021 If you are inquiring about any of our services "last minute" (less than 48 hours from the date you are needing assistance) we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Before submitting a request through Thumbtack please instead fill out the contact form on our website (link is in this profile). It will help us respond faster and more efficiently. Thank you! Hi, my name is Beth and I am the founder of It's Just Stuff, a home organizing+move management business. I often say I have that weird gene that wants everything contained. My parents never had to tell me to clean my room ... how many teenagers can claim that? Anyway, I take great pride in my ability to be the extra pair of eyes, ears and hands you need to tackle all of your organizing and executive functioning pain points as well as assist with any packing/unpacking if you are moving. Seriously, I once packed up a 4000 square foot house...by myself...in one day...and, yes there was A LOT TO PACK! Here's the thing...we all have our strengths and weaknesses so if you need your car fixed but you don't know how to even change a flat tire, you go to a repair shop. Or if you need your taxes done and your eyes glaze over thinking about it, you hire an accountant. So it is no different with the decluttering process. Sometimes we just have too much internal clutter to really attack the external clutter or maybe you simply lack the desire for whatever reason. It's ok...no judgement, just a lot of compassion with an occasional sprinkling being somewhat ruthless. Otherwise, what is the point of hiring me? I hope you will...I love what I do and love the end results when I can walk out the door after completing a project and know I, as well as every member of my team, have created a life changing transformation for so many people. So, please, help me and #TeamIJS create a calmer world one cabinet, drawer or closet at a time. For more information and/or a FREE 30 MINUTE VIRTUAL CONSULTATION please go to the contact form on the It's Just Stuff website (link in profile) and someone will respond usually within a few hours. Thanks! Beth Blacker Founder It's Just Stuff!

Packing and Unpacking

Its Just Stuff were punctual and responsive and flexible. I was working from home when they came to help me pack for a stressful move. They took charge and made it happen with ease. They also helped me with a referral for some movers. I highly recommend Its Just Stuff for packing and organizing!

It's Just Stuff!'s reply

Thanks for the review. It is always gratifying no matter how many we get to know that our clients were satisfied with the work we provided. And we are equally happy when we can refer our moving partners to provide their services. Best of luck in your new home in Tulsa and be sure to reach out to the contact I gave you if you need any service providers...or a new friend. I know she will be happy to meet you and help you any way she can 😀 Take care, Beth COCTC aka Chief of Chaos To Calm @ It's Just Stuff

Lydia C.

Home Organizing

We recently moved to the Denver/Boulder area after 25 years living in DC and Hawaii and 21 years married! As you can imagine, we also had that many years of STUFF! It was even more concerning that we had several boxes from previous moves that had never even been unpacked.😫 When I saw Beth’s business name, I knew she was the perfect partner in decluttering! She has been all that I hoped for and better than I could have prayed for. Beth helped us get all of our main boxes opened, sorted, organized and put away in places that actually make sense! She provided us with suggestions for our pantry that ultimately more than doubled the amount of usable space we had available there. She gave suggestions to help us make smart rather than solely emotional decisions about what to keep, what to donate and what to discard that have helped us create a space filled with pieces we cherish, and rid ourselves of the other “stuff.” I don’t even have my before pics, but just know we had more than double the books you see on the shelves in my office now, and Beth helped this book lover only keep the books that we really love and need, and release the remaining books to their next homes!🤎 We really are so very grateful and highly recommend working with Beth for all your organizational needs. You won’t regret it! It really is “just stuff”!

WOW!!!! Thank you so much for the incredibly kind and genuine review Lydia. It really was such a joy to help you and your husband get settled into your new life in CO. More importantly, as is often the case, learn so much about your passions as an educator, an artist and a business owner. You clearly have inspired countless children through all of the work that you have done as well as so many female entrepreneurs and it really has been an honor and a privilege to get to know you through all of the boxes and, of course, your incredible art work...yours as well as the amazing collection you have amassed and displayed so beautifully in your home. Enjoy each and every inch of the spaces you have created...the very clutter-free spaces I might add !!!!! Again, many thanks for entrusting me to do what I do best so you can continue to do what you do best✌

Beth and her team were great. Excellent communication at every stage, showed up on time, asked the right questions and clearly is a master organizer. Great value and service. Will definitely use again!

Thanks Nick! So glad it worked out for us to help with getting your garage cleared out for the painters and we look forward to coming back to help put everything back as well as help with your basement project.

Mary F.

Home Organizing

I had never used a professional organizer. How much expertise could one person have about what to do with all my stuff? I was pleasantly surprised when the owner and her assistant showed up right on time and got to work. They made me feel comfortable by asking me questions about my goals. In a few short minutes, they gave me a quick lesson in decision making about what to keep and what to toss. Thanks ladies for your hard work. In three and a half hours we purged and organized my three storerooms. The process was simple, efficient and pain free. My anxiety I was experiencing about all the clutter is gone! Best decision I ever made concerning my possessions.

It's Just Stuff!'s reply

Thank you so much for the incredible review Mary! You described how almost every single one of our clients feels at the beginning but we take great pride in making sure we adjust our energy to match yours so that you hopefully feel a lot less overwhelmed by the process. In your case, you really didn't have as much disorganization as you thought. It really was just a matter of us being there to provide an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands on your organizing pain points. So glad you are so pleased with the outcome from just one short session and we look forward to returning in a few weeks to work on a few other areas in your home.

Ling R.

Packing and Unpacking

This was a great experience! I just moved into a new home which is much smaller than my previous home. I was overwhelmed with all the boxes and Beth came in and got right to work. She’s very good at seeing where things should go and we were able to find the perfect spot for everything that I decided to keep. Thanks again Beth for your help!

It's Just Stuff!'s reply

Thank you Ling for choosing It's Just Stuff to help you get unpacked and settled in your new home in Denver. It was very unfortunate that the movers who unloaded everything from your previous home in VA did not do so with any amount of care or consideration and left you feeling even more overwhelmed than a typical move can leave people feeling. It is one of the reasons I am so passionate about helping anyone with packing, unpacking and any other move management services including being the coordinator with the actual mover on the load and unload day(s) as an extra set of eyes, ears and hands to make sure they are doing their actual job. I am so glad, though, that you found IJS on Thumbtack and hired us because it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and wish you all of the best in your new home! Beth Blacker - IJS Founder

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is based to some degree on the project but the typical home organizing or move management hourly rate is $70. For any other services (admin support, general errands, petsitting/housesitting, meal prep) please provide specific details when inquiring about It's Just Stuff services to better determine the scope of the project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I generally request that we schedule a 30 minute free virtual consult to make sure that your needs match my expertise but also to get more details about the project as well as see if there might be any issues or obstacles especially ones that need to be addressed up front. Most clients find this to be a very comforting way to make sure It's Just Stuff will be a good fit. Sometimes a client just doesn't feel a connection and that's ok...the most important thing is to make sure there is a complete understanding of the goals and budget.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I like to think that most of my education and training for any of the services It's Just Stuff provides is a result of a life of experiences. I have a degree in communications which I do maintain I use each and every day running this business. And I have a great amount of empathy and compassion for any organizing client struggling with executive functioning. Most importantly, I truly do have a natural desire for there to be less chaos and more order in our homes but that requires understanding that the true source is usually a result of internal clutter which then becomes external clutter. My entire life I have just been someone who likes everything in place and contained so it really is a nature vs. nurture thing for me. I am constantly educating myself on the latest information regarding all of the moving parts to being in this profession as well as engaging with other professional organizers literally around the world to discuss trends, challenging situations, etc. Bottom line, I am confident in my abilities and how I connect with clients.
