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

Living in a large ranch style home, I have found it challenging to keep order with a two year old and a variety of sports gear of my husband’s. I hesitated to hire an organizer and realized I couldn’t manage these things on my own. I heard of Steve’s work from a friend and had him assess the space and what I needed. I immediately felt at ease and knew he was there to work with me and to help me find solutions for what I needed. Steve is a great listener and created space for all of my husband’s equipment and expanded my space in the garage as well. He came up with fun and creative solutions for my son’s toys and things in color coded bins that helps him put his items away when he’s done with them. Steve’s artistic flair helped enhance my home’s functionality and beauty.

I needed to purchase a variety of containers in which to sort various belongings. Steve is budget savvy and knew the stores and online sellers so I could get the best deals and work within my budget. I am so thrilled to have my home have greater usability and function as well as a unique flair for what could have been a boring and utilitarian outcome.

No matter the size of any given task, Steve’s creative space organization will enhance the quality of your home or business and give you an environment that will help you to THRIVE!

I was feeling a lot of stress. I had several piles of mail on my kitchen counter, a lot of it unopened, that had been sitting there for some time and I knew I needed to address it and find a way to sort it and file it.

I called on Steve Adams from Creative Space Organizing and within a 2 session period, we went through all the mail, sorted it, purged a lot of it and created new updated files to which I could place important documents for reference. I had papers in that pile I needed for my taxes, and with Steve’s help I was able to round up everything I needed for my accountant. That was a huge relief.

Having that paper there was like a weight and a continual reminder that I needed to address it. Now it is gone and I have my counter space back. Steve helped make space in my filing cabinets and to have the most pertinent and most recent files and paperwork where I could retrieve it on demand. He helped create a system that I can easily adhere to. I plan on having Steve return to assist in organizing my clothes closets and the remainder of my filing cabinets. Thanks so much!

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.
