Order is Key

Creating the Space You Need

Organizing is a process—one that moves you from blockage to freedom. It requires accountability, responsibility and the willingness to change. Reevaluating the items you have ensures you keep only the things you truly need and want. I work efficiently and expediently to empower you in reaching your organizing goals as well as with a sense of humor to make the experience enjoyable.

Our Services

Home & Office Organizing

Our homes are often busy places with kids, pets and adults using the same areas for multiple purposes and as a result, items often pile up at the front door/entry, on kitchen counters, dining room tables and desks, and in corners of rooms and on stairways. By eliminating the unnecessary, establishing new homes for each item and developing new habits and behaviors, clutter disappears.

Home offices require efficient use of space as well as effective paper/mail management systems so important documents, mail and correspondence are stored for easy retrieval and usage. I help set up easy to use filing systems for organized papers you need and use.

Packing/Unpacking Help

Moving is one of life’s most stressful events, from managing the packing process to ensuring everything makes it to its new home in one piece. One of the most commonly overlooked components is sorting out what’s not needed so you take only what you want. I help you cull out things you don’t need and move only the essentials.

Unpacking has it’s own stress of getting everything out of boxes and into a designated space AND in an organized way. I specialize in getting your new home organized from the beginning so you can begin using various rooms right away.

Space Planning Specialist

Using our spaces effectively whether its a utility drawer, a closet or an entire room requires a keen eye and knowledge of the right tools and infrastructure to ensure that area work to its utmost. I help you maximize key areas to increase functionality, storage and aesthetics.

Hauling Services

My goal is to redirect as much material from the landfill as possible by recycling and donating items to facilities and locations that can responsibly reuse or recycle. For a flat rate, depending on how many stops and the amount I remove, I will gladly take away unwanted things to the best possible locations.

What People Are Saying

My walk-in closet had became a junk room full of moving boxes old clothes, books and magazines, which cluttered my space physically and emotionally, and kept me at an emotional and physical stand still. Thanks to Steve Adams he transformed my closet into a spacious usable place. We spent about three and half hours, de-cluttering everything from clothes, books and newspapers. We replaced moving boxes with clearly labeled containers, including my teaching materials which I can easily locate.

My clothes have been arranged by type and color, thanks to Steve, who has a great eye for color and style. He helped me let go of clothes that I had attached myself to emotionally. It is a joy to stand, and even sit a while, in my new closet thanks to Steve’s eye and hard work.

He even suggested I replace some old throw pillows that no longer fit my decor and we found some perfectly matched ones at a great price! Such a simple change for a big impact!

I highly recommend Creative Space Organizing and all of the services it offers. His business is such a great gift and a wonderful service to release what is no longer needed.

-Carolyn Shaw, Child Educator and Personal Assistant
As a school teacher for fifteen years, I realized I needed help in reorganizing my classroom and procedures. What worked years ago, clearly was not working now for me. I was bogged down in paperwork, filing, and piles and piles of stuff. Which resulted in wasted time and energy and a drain on my own ‘creative’ energy.

Steve came in and patiently helped me prioritize needed items, eliminate unnecessary things, and set up a filing system that would help me run my classroom more efficiently. It’s been a great beginning for me and I have been able to continue with our system. This makes my life much easier and alleviates the frustration of an out-of-order classroom. The students also benefit with me being in a better mood.

Please call if you would like further information about Steve. It’s been great…and I’m actually enjoying my work more.

-Elaine Womack, San Jose Unified School District
In just a few hours Steve helped me turn a pile of clutter into a cozy and inviting reading nook. He did so with humor and practicality, even helping me go through those boxes of possessions that had an emotional charge. Just taking care of one little corner of my room helped turn it into a more livable space. I would have him back any day to help me tackle the rest of my apartment.

-Diana Stasko, Owner, Better Living Through Sewing
I have worked with Steve in various capacities for the past 12 years, including working for my company. Steve has a vital, fun and creative flair that he brings to his work and ensuing projects. He puts a unique twist on what he does and how he executes what he is doing. I enjoy his great sense of humor, his genuineness, his kindness and his strong work ethic. I can always count on him to complete what needs to be done in a timely and professional manner.

Steve works very systematically and can take a large project and make it manageable. When I have presented him with a multitude of tasks, arrangements and event details, he can assess their importance, prioritize them and check off each task as complete. He works well within guided parameters and has a great ability to figure solutions to trying situations.

Steve has helped organize props and product on site and create a makeshift workspace out of sometimes challenging and difficult locations. I can give him instructions and directions and attend to other duties without worry or concern. I know the project will be done as I need to my and the client’s satisfaction. Steve’s initiative is a great asset that has helped me through many challenging events.

I am assured whoever hires Steve for their organizing needs will experience only satisfaction and great results from his efforts. Steve is great at putting people at ease for he has the right demeanor to create a supportive and encouraging environment for organizing a variety of spaces.

-Laura Lorenz, Owner, Lorenz Productions
Steve’s bright, competent and hard working capabilities have helped me run an event and floral division of Northern California’s largest prop and tenting company. I can give him the specifics for any event and, with his skill, speed and creative agility, I know that he will deliver what I need as promised to the client. He works great with other employees and has such a positive and upbeat demeanor, it is a pleasure being around him.

Steve has helped me and my assistant with keeping the event’s organized and arriving to their destination on time and in perfect condition. He facilitates keeping the work space clean, organized and managing the tools we use so they are easily located for other’s use.

He recently helped me in my home. I gave birth a year ago and have been busy raising my daughter and working. As a working mother, I find it challenging to keep order in my home where space is at a premium. With the barrage of baby gifts and clothing I received, they had become piled high in the living room along with assorted magazines on my coffee table and a large stack of mail that I didn’t want to deal with. Steve eagerly pulled all the mail out and we began sorting, purging and filing. I was thrilled to see my entry table surface again and to have important bills and documents I could easily and quickly locate. We purged the magazines and sorted all the baby’s clothing into clear bins marked by ages up to 4T! These went to the garage and I had a great part of my living room back. My dining table had become a catchall for clothing and purses and these things were sorted and put where they belonged and I had yet another clear surface to enjoy and use.

Steve has a natural finesse and ability to assess an organizing dilemma and arrive at great, workable solutions. I was initially embarrassed to have him see the state my house was in. Yet, with a gracious and non judgmental attitude, I quickly gave in to his organizing skills and am so glad I did.
