With a 5- yr B.S. degree in Interior Design from the 80's I am inspired each day with how exciting the process is, and all the fun I have with my clients while doing it.
Declutter. Organize. Simplify. Design.
I love to dramatically transform spaces. I can work with a blank slate, add a few pieces, create new color schemes, stage your home, rearrange some things or hang wall decor. I simply love to organize & beautify homes. I take a fresh look at your space and with my visualization skills can create improvements that don't cost a fortune. I address any part that isn't working as well as you'd like it to. Is your space cohesive, does it create a mood or feeling you enjoy ? Does it feel disjointed or cluttered? Do you need to downsize & organize for yourself or maybe stage it to rent or sell ?
I know how to solve problems and work within most any budget.
I was a designer for California Closets and know how to use techniques so consider myself a closet expert. My organization skills will transform your kitchen, pantry, closet, bathroom, office, garage, attic, basement or entire home. I also leave you with the tools and tactics to keep it that way, once I am gone.
I require a $225 trip charge when I travel to your home for any of my services. My fees are $75/hour for all services; except Interior Design is $85/hour. Short term design projects and virtual design calls are billed at $100/hour. Virtual Design Consults can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes or more in duration. If you happen to have a quick question or concern, a 30-minute call is just $50. Virtual Interior Design appointments also have no minimum amount since there's no travel involved.
I would love to meet you to discuss and hear about the details of your project. You could then meet me "in person" and hear about the process or get any of your questions answered on a no-charge virtual call.
Together let's create your own place of serenity that inspires!

I hired Zen Home to help me organize my children's playroom. It took us (together) 4 hours of intense sorting but we were able to completely reorganize it into a very tidy space for which I am very thankful! Will definitely be using the services again in the future.
Can’t say enough good things about my experience with Zen Home, and specifically Renee.
My project wasn’t huge on the outside, but it was huge to me mentally. I had files and piles of decades’ worth of cards, letters, photos and other assorted paperwork/mementos that needed to be sorted and designated as shred, trash, share, donate or keep.
I knew I needed help, and Renee was just the help I needed! She started going through stuff immediately, and before I knew it, we were working side-by-side for a few hours! Not only was she organized, but Renee is cheerful, kind and funny! What I’d been dreading for years, she turned into fun.
Ended up with many bags of trash, bags to shred, and boxes to donate. And now I can have peace knowing I didn’t leave a big fat mess for loved ones to deal with when I’m gone. That’s everything to me! I’ll forever be grateful!

Zen did a fantastic job organizing my home. She started with a thoughtful assessment of what mattered most to me, then created clear, practical zones that fit my daily routine. Her eye for detail—labeling, efficient storage solutions, and thoughtful groupings—made everything feel calmer and more functional. She was punctual, respectful of my space, and communicative, explaining each choice and adjusting on the fly when I asked for tweaks. The result is a brighter, more navigable home that’s a joy to be in. Highly recommended.

Renee was so very helpful with organizing 2 of my bedrooms. She helped me do a purge and really got things neat and organized for me!! It was a weight lifted that I’ve been struggling with. She also has some very good ideas with interior design!! Renee Gave me many tips on how to stay organized without getting overwhelmed!! I have a couple more areas to get organized and I will definitely be calling her back! Don’t pass her services by she does excellent work! And to top it all off we became great friends!!

Great service. Came on time and was very communicative. Worked fast organizing our garage to add an additional car. Offered color samples and furniture advice for children's bedrooms. Will be using her service again. Highly recommend.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My charge is $75 an hour for organizing or hanging wall decor and $85 an hour for Interior Design and Staging. Please note that if I travel to your home I require a 3 hour minimum due to fuel and travel time. This equates to $225.
Instead of a lump sum I charge an hourly rate since it is transparent and you as the customer know what you are getting. If something takes less time you benefit.
I also do virtual meetings on FT or MS Teams for Interior Design in increments of 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. If travel to your home exceeds 1 hour in one direction so 2 hours total travel, I will charge for my time or mileage, once we discuss the best way to handle it.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to speak live or do a virtual call to discuss project and book an initial meeting. Interior Design is usually 15 minutes to get an overview then we begin the design process which can include measuring, selecting new items, discussing contruction and the process.
If it's organizing then I show up ready to purge and declutter. This is hands on work and involves alot of lifting, moving, bagging or boxing up items to store, sell, or donate.
I provide overall project estimates or not to exceed quotes and can send invoices after each meeting or once a week depending on the scope so the client is aware where we are budget wise at all times.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Interior Design -I have a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, a 5 year degree. I taught Color Theory for years at my Design School in Denver, Colorado. I fequently was selected to do all color schemes since that is something I excel at and love. I have been practicing Interior Design since 1981. I worked for Knoll for 14 years, then for Kimball Office and Herman Miller. I was a Design Consultant at California Closets. I also was a Designer at Ethan Allen. My personal taste is contemporary, however I do every kind of style and enjoy it.
Organizing - I was born to do this. I have been organizing myself and my friends since I was 10 years old ! It makes me happy to see a clean, beautiful, well organized space. I love doing it for others and hope to make them feel lighter, peaceful in their space and calm.
