Brooklyn helped us with our front closet, guest room, and kitchen. She is an expert in what she does with good ideas and a great working relationship with her clients. She is efficient and ambitious in what she and her team can get done! I really like the new organization she instituted and am happy to recommend her.

Brooke is an absolute delight. Filled with energy and ideas, she brings inspiration with her as well as her organizational skills. She really helped me bring my home office/gamer space time during challenging times (2020- am I right 😅). I'm just sad that her calendar gets full so fast!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Consultations are complimentary for the Chicagoland and surrounding suburb areas. If a fee applies to your location, we will discuss the deposit on our brief initial discovery call. All projects are custom-tailored to the needs of each client and are offered at one flat price per project based on the required consultation. Our minimum level of engagement is $5,000. We do not provide hourly labor packages or "pay as you go" options. Our rate includes all materials, subcontractors, employee labor, services, designs, consultations, and travel. Your solution = price = done. As simple as that!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing we do is schedule a 10-minute complimentary phone call to learn what you're considering, identify the budget, and determine whether you are a good fit. If we may be a good fit, we will schedule a recommended consultation. The consultation is the time to walk through the spaces we discussed over the phone. We will look at the details, assess the work, and really dig-in to the importance of this investment for you so the service and feedback provided have a meaningful impact! Following the consultation, you will receive a guaranteed flat rate, recommendation summary, and estimated project timeline. I like to begin with tackling one room at a time - the most used/needed space - then going on to the next space. At that time, you select a package that suits your needs. Once payment and contract has processed, we can schedule out all necessary logistics by creating a project plan. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I look forward to hearing from you!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a professional nanny, home manager and organizer for multiple families ongoing. I am also a military veteran and a mother which means that I am structured and regimented in my process, AND I know how to be flexible and creative in order to make it work with unique solutions! I have also done (and continue to conduct) extensive research on my own about organizing methods so that I am able to customize the experience to work for you and your family long-term after the sessions are complete.
