“She sees it & helps you see it”
Beth B has a gift for creating structure and a beautiful design. I’ve worked with Beth over the course of 5 years. She helped me set up my small NYC apartment where space is limited. I can keep things organized but I don’t have the gift to create the structure/tool to keep the items organized! Beth does! She walks into a place, walks around, and can see the sketches, I can’t. She also plays the role of therapist since I’m attached to items because they have memories and it’s hard to trash them or give them away. She lets me decide what I want to do with items and it makes it less scary. Beth is a great guide on the journey!
"When it was time to downsize our family home, Beth was our first call. My parents lived there for over 40 years and in that time you accumulate a LOT of stuff. Within a short time during the hot summer months, Beth was able to easily separate, organize AND pack up items. She worked with my mom and my entire family to make the task of sorting things easier for us. She sourced movers for international shipping and other vendors we needed. Without her we would still be packing. I would never do a move with out her."
"A mutual friend told me Beth was an organizer. A couple months went by before I gave Beth a call to see if she could help me. I was verging on hoarding status as far as I was concerned. I'd been living in my 550 sq ft apartment for nearly 15 years... with 15 years worth of stuff.
Beth was fantastic. She could see how to attack it all and understood it was all quite overwhelming for me. She also knew sometimes it was easier to just hold things up for me so I could say yes or no rather than making me go through it myself.
She helped me figure it out...we probably removed 40% of my stuff. It felt like a weight was lifted. And once I had space to breathe...we got to work on how to set my place up so it would work better. I ordered some new furniture and often she would put it together for me. She suggested some excellent organization items for my apartment to make things easier.
I am an extremely busy, type A, professional. She went above and beyond on many occasions to help me, personally, with things I should be able to manage on my own but simply had no time.
In short, the whole experience was life-changing. My apartment which used to make me so stressed out is now relaxing. Having less stuff has made me want less stuff. And if I get something new, I try to get rid of something to even it out.
Calm, efficient, empathetic... I wish I had more adjectives. Beth is the best!"
