“I’ve worked with Kate Fisher for home organizing for 3 years. She helped me before and after a major home remodel to design and install organization systems in nearly 15 spaces in my home. Bedroom closets, laundry room, garage, basement storage areas, mudroom, and more.
Before working with Kate, I habitually stowed items away in dark corners and behind doors. The feeling of overwhelm led me to avoid organizing.
Kate stepped in to help me prioritize problem areas in my home and create action plans to slay the dragon. She took time to learn about my family, how we live, what is important to us, and our personalities. She showed respect for things that were important to us, and honored this throughout the organizing process.
After working with The Neatist, I can organize for myself. I can find things in my home because my piles are gone and there is a designated (and labeled!) space for everything. I have a repeatable system for making decisions about what to purge and what to keep. Her work for me gave me time, confidence, and calm in my own home.”

“Kate has helped us gradually organize our hot spots - from the garage to the kitchen, mud room, laundry room, and basement. Her solutions are simple and effective and she designs them to fit into your processes. And she doesn't judge the overflowing piles of junk. It's amazing to see how organized areas can really improve your life! Highly recommend Kate!”

“I’ve had a dynamite experience working with Kate. She helped me with a major downsizing and two moves. This included the sifting/sorting process, packing for a move, and organizing space in new, smaller spaces. Her help was indispensable. There are several reasons why I recommend Kate. First, she’s a hard worker. She works through a lot of material in a short time. Second, she had good thoughts on categorizing what to keep, store, and get rid of. She knew how to set up systems of convenience to store what I was keeping. Third, she’s compassionate and gets that managing and parting with stuff can be stressful, emotional work and she was good at working through things. Lastly, she had creative solutions. Examples include making a scrap book of my children’s art projects rather than keeping boxes of items; and finding just the right equipment to more efficiently use small spaces, like hanging racks inside lower cupboard doors. Kate is a consummate professional and a highly qualified home organizer. She’s also a fun person to be around. I recommend her highly.”

"We found Kate in a desperate moment of needed organization for a multipurpose room in our house. We ended up using her professional and amazing energy to organize our bathroom, entry way, kitchen and finally that multipurpose room that started it all.
Kate has been wonderful since our first conversation. Although we were not looking to redo our whole lower level, it made perfect sense. It needed to be done. Many a times, my husband and I would reorganize a space, hoping that it would be the last time and that, maybe, just maybe, we got it right this time. It never happened. We never "got it right" and spent way too many precious moments on the weekends doing the same areas over and over.
Well, we are so very happy to say, it is done now and it is done right. We LOVE our new and improved rooms. It really is a new and improved life or life style. We are not type A people, but really wanted a system that would work for our family of six. Kate did an amazing job and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We needed a professional and Kate has been the professional our home and lives needed.
Kate worked with us from day one all the way through every step. She listened to our ideas, took in feedback from her ideas and melded it all together into plans that were well thought through and workable. The organization in our home is user friendly, will work in the short and long term, and provides simplicity within our busy lives. It helps us keep our home neater and more organized on a daily basis without much fuss or work. It is easier to keep clean! Kate came into our home not wanting to just put a bandaid on one area without fixing the whole. She was right.
Kate truly did an amazing job in our home. I talk so highly of her every time I talk about the projects in our home. We are so pleased that we spent what was needed to have Kate work her magic in our home!"

"I needed help in getting my bedroom closet and pantry organized. Kate met with me and drew up plans to put right to chaos. She expertly installed a terrific system in both closets, and I love, love, love the results. Since then, Kate has revamped my kitchen cabinets and even repurposed two lazy susan cabinets that just weren't working. The results make cooking and finding utensils much nicer and I can say I have more fun cooking now. Kate took the time to discuss my needs and wants, and then came back with drawings for closets and cabinets. Kate has a great eye for detail and implemented really cool baskets with labels, such as a baking basket with all the items I need for general baking."

“Kate helped us turn our spare room where we kept toys into a legit playroom/guest space! We spend so much time there when we were basically using it for storage before! She spent time at the beginning of the project asking me and my son what we wanted out of the space and she gave us everything we wanted and even made suggestions based on some of the challenges we had. She was able to repurpose items we had and was cost-conscious about finding the things we bought. If you have no idea where to even start (like me) on a room...Kate is the one to call!”
Molly
"Kate did a fantastic job organizing our garage. We have so much more space and things are up off the ground; we can easily get in and out of both cars--something we couldn't do before. She also had great organization ideas for other parts of our house."

“Until Kate stepped in, even I didn't realize how bad it had gotten. She worked diligently to create solutions and strategize for better organization. Thanks to her, we installed shelves, re-worked a portion of the floor plan and invested in simple frustration saving bins with labels to keep everything straight. Her techniques and tactics are still in place, and the systems she established are still serving us well, 5 years later. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. Not only is she a whiz about organizing, she is very gentle in her delivery of the bad news, and handles everything with a twinkle in her eye and a great attitude. You will not be disappointed with this neat lady!"
Traci
"Kate was great helping to organize my kitchen shelves as we have limited space. Moving from a three-story house to one story, it was hard to organize to make room for some of the dishes. She had great ideas for arranging items to save room. I would highly recommend her service to anyone."

"Do you have that one space in your home that DRIVES YOU CRAZY???? Kate is your woman to get that space working for you. We are an active family of four. Ever since we moved into our home, our laundry/mud/back entryway drove me nuts. It felt cluttered, it smelled, and we were constantly tripping over stuff. Kate was able to sort all that out for us. She took the time to listen to what we liked, didn’t like and what we wanted from the space. She saw solutions that I never would have thought of. This room is now working for our family of two adults, two kids a dog and a cat. My favorite thing… she moved our cat’s litter box into the garage. SO much better! Thank you Kate. I’ll sing your praises through the rooftops."
