About
My work reflects my own personal experience in packing/unpacking and organizing my own homes - as I've moved over 15 times during the past 35 years! Our family was in aviation and this caused frequent job and location changes; each move presented a new opportunity to purge, pack, unpack and sort our lives into new spaces! I will address your belongings with practiced care. Being organized has always helped me to feel like I am in control of a little part of my environment :) I enjoy sorting and organizing others homes to share that feeling of accomplishment and to provide you with more stress free zones to relax! Can I help you with: Closets you are afraid to open? Storage units that have been left alone and forgotten? Airbnb Guests - not sure if you need to restock? Pantry and medicine cabinet out of date? Relocating? Packing and unpacking services and organizing your new spaces! Library out of order? Let's get your bookshelves organized so you can locate and delve into your treasures! Loving your fur babies while you are away? Assistance in packing your and your loves ones home as life changes dictate. ♥

I had a great experience working with Penelope. She helped me unpack items in my garage and organize my guest room and home office. She was punctual, responsive, friendly, and very solution-oriented. The process was smooth and efficient, and I appreciated her thoughtful approach to creating functional spaces. I would definitely recommend her services.

Don’t WAIT ~ Get on Penelope’s schedule as fast as you can. I spent my career in Asheville, creating a high end referral-only based architecture & design practice, honored to work on some of the finest homes in America, including Biltmore. You’d think, at 60, I could organize my own home, but after Hurricane Helene literally turned my world upside down, physically and psychologically, I knew I could not. Everything I owned was slammed into Rubbermaid tubs with zero rhyme or reason. Moving out my beloved 2600 sq ft home of 30 years into a sweet little 600 sq feet Greensboro apartment is quite the challenge, but with Penelope’s lead & fine eye, she’s helping me design my very own dream space. I couldn’t be happier. First time I’ve ever let anyone do that, I assure you, but this Lady Penelope has true talent. From the second we met, Penelope’s warm, caring demeanor brightened my world. She immediately leapt into tasks, creating a comforting momentum. She inspires me, truly lifts me up! I have had her back several times. Each time the progress amazes me. Regardless of my mess, she didn’t judge it, nor me, simply put her design & organizing expertise to work. Hands down, BEST GIFT I’ve given myself. Hire her, do not hesitate. Penelope will make you smile and your world shine. I’m so grateful for you Penelope. Thank you for being YOU.

I booked Penelope to help me organize put up pictures in my new space. She was absolutely fantastic. I feel like I have gained a new friend in life. she is thorough, she’s organized, she’s a delight to be around, she organize my closet as if it was in a high-end retail store. I’m definitely going to be working with her again in the near future. 10 out of 10 recommend

I hired PSPSS for two projects: pet-sitting my finicky cat while I was away for two weeks, and unpacking and reorganizing my bathroom and kitchen after my move. When I got home, my cat was very happy, and my home was spotless and organized. Five stars all the way! I'd hire Penelope again in a heartbeat for either of these tasks or any other service PSPSS offers. She's very responsive, thorough, inventive, and thoughtful. My home has never been so organized—especially my bathroom. In fact, thanks to her work, I found out I had multiples of things I'd either forgotten I owned or replaced because I couldn't find them! In that sense, using PSPSS doesn't really cost—it pays for itself in the long run! Worth every penny!
Penelope's Singular Packing & Sorting Services's reply
Candy, thank you so much for your gracious words and the opportunity to work with you! I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent in your home with your 'finicky' cat who is such a funny little girl! I am so glad to hear that you are reaping the benefits of organization: I really feel it is a love language :) I look forward to assisting you again in the future as your needs arise. Thank you again!
