About

FREESPACES, llc mission is to help individuals and organizations GET & STAY organized. Fortunately for her clients, FREESPACES' founder is not just a great “organizer." Deb Smulyan has a Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) and brings in-depth understanding and empathy to her clients along with proven strategies to help make important changes in their lives. freespaces uses an organizing approach elegant in its simplicity. One step at a time we 1) cut through the “clutter,” 2) design new & improved storage solutions and strategies to maximize space and simplify daily life, and 3) build in new “operating” systems and “default settings” (i.e. habits) to ensure that you will be able to not just get organized - but STAY organized with ease! Deb is continually learning new methods and best practices as a member of the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals. And she is smart, fun to work with, and tireless in her commitment to give you HUGE return on your investment. Think of freespaces as your very own fairy godmother! We wave our magic wand and poof! Tough tasks and trouble spots giving you nightmares disappear. Piles of papers finally make sense, and that guest room no one can actually use becomes a cozy retreat instead of a dumping ground for everything that doesn't have a home. We make it painless, we make it possible, and we empower YOU to gain control over your time, space, and peace of mind. Ready to get organized?

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

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

Deb took a giant pile of boxes that we just moved into our new home and turned it into a livable, functional, tidy space. She created systems that were easy to follow so even when things got messy, it was possible to quickly put everything right. She understood the challenges of organizing a busy family of 5 and had great storage solutions for the kids toys. We would be lost without her!

Claudia and her husband were absolutely wonderful to work with -- they have 3 great kids, busy lives, and wanted to start out right in their new home! We were able to agree on goals and execute a plan very efficiently and with a lot of high impact results -- quickly and affordably. Sometimes it just takes a fresh perspective and professional expertise to make a house an efficient home -- so the family has more time for each other!
