Check out our previous projects and see what our lovely clients had to say about our work!
“Emily is amazing! Efficient, pleasant, fast, and completely professional! There are not enough adjectives to describe adequately how competent she is.After 20 years in one house, lots of downsizing and organizing was needed. The basement needed clearing out and organizing. Then, every other room in the house needed the same - clear out and organize. Next, Emily figured out how to condense what remained to fewer rooms as a home renovation project began. Finally, Emily returned after the renovation to organized the completed rooms. (It was a long term relationship…)Emily was systematic in approaching the downsizing and organizing. She was incredibly fast at assessing a space and determining what should go where. She saw and implemented solutions that would never have occurred to me. She is truly brilliant and so congenial to work with. She made me entirely completely comfortable throughout the whole process.”
“She turned my entire house into an oasis and helped what was in my head come to life. I can finally breathe in my home. She is quick on her toes and gets things done at record speed. Her prices are extremely reasonable. I’ve never seen anything like it before. What a gifted woman she is! I highly recommend her to anyone on this planet needing to declutter, reorganize, and start anew in any space they need work in. Thank you so much, Emily!”
“Emily is awesome! We tackled three disastrous rooms in a small amount of time. After cleaning out my grandparents’ home last year and moving into it and combining mine and my husband’s houses into one, I was out of energy and vision. Emily is efficient, practical, and exactly what I needed. I feel so much better about my home! I will definitely be calling her again when I (inevitably) need to reorganize.”
“Just finished a kitchen remodel and I wanted the best possible kitchen organization. Emily organized my pantry and all kitchen cabinets. I could have put the kitchen back the way I always had but wanted fresh eyes to improve on my new setting. I am thrilled with the results. I intend to have Emily in my home again for future projects.”
“I had been struggling big time with accumulating too many things (mostly clothes) and was just living out of messy piles of stuff. Emily spent several hours helping me decide what to donate and how to organize the things I was keeping. A couple of days later my father was hospitalized and I unexpectedly spent nearly two weeks in the ICU with him. The organization Emily provided was a godsend. I wasn’t embarrassed to allow friends to come feed my cats or let my dog out, I was able to quickly and easily locate everything I needed to pack for the hospital, I had plenty of clean and folded clothes to last me during that time, and I didn’t feel a wash of stress and anxiety flood over me whenever I walked through the door. Her work provided a sense of stability and calm for me that I desperately needed during that time. I had no idea something like organization could do that. We all have that one room or closet or series of junk drawers that gives us anxiety to even think about. I highly recommend hiring Eliminate: Professional Organizing to help you get them under control. Emily is kind and knowledgeable and so very good at what she does. You will not regret it!”
“Emily has been a lifesaver! After more than 30 years in our home, “stuff” had definitely accumulated and Emily has rescued me from many areas of excess! Now my pantry is well organized, as well as my clothes closet and our garage. As an artist, supplies and art magazines seem to multiply and now my Sunroom Art Studio looks picture perfect thanks to Emily. When I have needed extra help with decorating for the holidays or a special dinner party, Emily has come with lots of energy, creativity & calm!”
“I was so overwhelmed by all the clutter we’d accumulated over the years. Emily came for the day and helped me organize my entire kitchen and a closet that I hadn’t seen the floor of in years!! She wasn’t judgmental and kept encouraging me as we went through everything. I can’t recommend her enough. She is an absolute joy and I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again.”
“We’ve lived in our house for almost 8 years. In those 8 years we’ve had 2 kids and accumulated A LOT of stuff. In January I decided to organize everything and make 2019 the year of Purging. The thought of trying to get our house in “order” created a lot of anxiety for me and I knew it wasn’t something I could do on my own. I came across @eliminatewithemily through another person I follow on IG. So very grateful I found her because she has been absolutely AMAZING helping us organize and purge items in our home. We’ve only had 2 sessions, but the changes are huge! We organized the play room, basement, garage and storage area.The first session we tackled the play room and basement. The second session we cleaned out and organized the garage and our storage area. She even helped get some pics up that had been sitting around for years.I can’t tell you how awesome it feels getting rid of items you no longer need/use. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Thank you so much, Emily!!”
“We engaged Eliminate to purge and organize our basement, garage and extra room - to put it simply - amazing! After multiple solo attempts, Eliminate provided the necessary nudge to get us going and made the process extremely simple. Emily provide options on what to do with items, made on point suggestions and helped transport items to the necessary places such as ReStore, Goodwill, Salvation Army. She was prepared and viewed the rooms before beginning - so when we started she was on task. We schedule Eliminate for multiple days with breaks for us to catch up and have stuff ready - then Emily came and we addressed what had been completed and kept going. After six years, I can see parts of my garage and basement again - what a joy. We will engage Emily further for other parts of the house - she has been awesome to work with and would highly recommend!!!”
“My garage had been a huge source of anxiety due to the chaos of all the crap we had piled up. I never thought I’d see the floor in there again. Emily was perfect in directing the organization and my garage now looks amazing!! I am no longer embarrassed to leave the garage door open now. She’s friendly and makes the process fun! I can’t recommend her enough. I can’t wait to use her in our house in the future.”
“Emily was exactly what I needed to tackle “The Junk Room” as everyone in my family names it 😩 Every time I would attempt to do it myself I was defeated just by opening the door and looking. Emily was organized, had a plan of attack, and was pushy with what to keep and what to donate. She even took the donations to Restore and other places for me!! I can’t be any happier with the services Emily provides.”
“Emily was a godsend to me when I was gearing up to move across the country. You never realize how much ‘stuff’ you’ve accumulated until you’re forced to pack it all in boxes. Emily helped me look at my items with new eyes and think critically about each piece. I ended up donating several bags of items to local charities, and was finally able to bring myself to let go of some items I thought I’d never be able to part with. Throughout the whole process, Emily showed incredible compassion for my sentimentality, but stayed firm enough to help me through the process of letting go of things that I legitimately did not need anymore. I’m one month into my new house, and still so thankful for the lightened load and ready to fly her here to help me get rid of even more stuff! Now that I’m feeling the calm that comes from clearing some space, I want to do more.”
“I am prone to hoarding, and since I’m getting older, my kids thought it would be a good idea to declutter my room. Emily to the rescue! After just four hours, she had removed 13 bags of clothes and other donated items and an additional two bags of trash! We rearranged furniture to maximize my small space and even my closet was cleared. I spend the majority of my time in my bedroom and before, it was easy to get depressed. Now, it’s more spacious, and there’s a feeling of calmness that wasn’t there before. Thank you, Emily, and thanks to my children for the great gift!”
“Can I just say how thankful I am for Emily! We worked on two primary rooms, our family’s worst- the piano/dining room and the garage. Both rooms had really become a catch-all for all kinds of things. Emily and I worked together to donate 4 (yes, 4) car loads of stuff. We now have solid livable and storage space that is clean and organized!! Emily even took care of making sure non-profits received the correct donations from me (breastfeeding supplies, kid stuff, household things).Emily packs it up, and hauls it away. I had bags and boxes of things I had the best intention of donating, but were still sitting, waiting on me. She ran errands for me and even met me at Costco to help get some additional shelving.And most importantly, she does it all with an encouraging smile. I can’t tell you what a great gift this was for me and my family.Emily, I’m already prioritizing having you back to work on our next project!! Thank you for your patience and amazing hard work.”
“I am the Adult Services Librarian at Spencer County Public Library in Taylorsville, KY, I had Emily come in and do an informational program for our patrons on organization. She was amazing, very informative, very helpful, and patient with our patrons’ questions! We certainly enjoyed having her at our library!”
“Having moved from my home in California to a shared home in Kentucky, I was overwhelmed with boxes and boxes of ‘stuff.’ Emily Evans clearly had the knowledge, skills, and patience to help me get out of my own crisis of what to do first. She was kind but honest with me and asked the question over and over again as we eliminated - ‘Is there any ________ that you don’t need? Look one more time.’ The first day with Emily, I had my bedroom and some of my living space organized. Within the next two visits, I had my space organized and was happy! Every item had a home, and I knew where that home was! Emily was amazing! I could not have done what she helped me do by myself. She had a vision of how things could look and she helped me attain it. Emily helped me put my ‘stuff’ In perspective, and I feel great having eliminated items that others could use and benefit from. I have a new found freedom thanks to Emily!!!!”
“Emily was committed to getting as much done as humanly possible in the time we had. I know I was ready to quit way before she was. I’m so impressed with the progress we made! I would recommend Eliminate for anyone interested in decluttering their life.”
“When I asked Emily to help me organize, I didn’t think I had that much stuff. I live in a one-bedroom apartment, and I’m not as messy as a lot of people. I figured we’d organize my closet and my bookshelves and maybe toss a few things and be done in a couple of hours. I was so wrong! I had no idea how much junk I owned, some stuff I literally hadn’t seen for years. I definitely wasn’t using it and didn’t need it sitting around. When she told me we were going to organize my laundry room, I laughed because it’s so small, I thought there was no WAY there was enough stuff in there to organize! But we tossed a whole bag of junk and old cleaning supplies I had long forgotten about. We spent almost eight hours together and only stopped because I had to go to work, not because we had finished – and I live in a one bedroom apartment! It was crazy. She drove away with a completely full car of my stuff to donate, and that’s on top of the stuff we just threw out. After she left I could imagine her voice in my head asking, ‘Do you need that?’ or ‘Should you really toss that on the ground/hide it in your closet?’ So the experience was great not just because I got rid of so much stuff (and didn’t feel like it was all going to a landfill, because she told me where she would be donating a lot of it), but because it really created better habits and has helped me be less cluttered and more thoughtful about my habits and my purchases. I would definitely have her back to finish the last few rooms we didn’t get to when she was here the first time! The experience was worth every penny, and that is coming from a ‘poor graduate student’!”
“I have worked with Emily on multiple occasions, and I could never say enough of her skill, creativity, and professionalism. I have seen amazing outcomes of closets, storage rooms, and file cabinets (many of them). I would recommend her hands down. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.”
“After moving a few months ago, I was mostly squared away but had a room that never quite got unpacked. I had attempted to sort it out a few times, but never got very far due to the overwhelming variety of ‘stuff’ that was all lumped together in the moving boxes.Emily was able to help me conquer it - including clearing out shelf and cabinet space in an adjacent room for additional storage - in less than 2 hours. Box by box, she helped me sort, categorize, and put away every piece. Nothing is just shoved somewhere ‘for the time being’. Emily was also kind enough to haul off all of my trash, empty boxes, and items for donating. Afterwards, she sent me a list of suggestions for storage solutions based on the work we’d done.Without her help, that room would’ve remained full and unusable for probably three more months. Now, I have my room back! Thank you Emily!”
“Y’all. I have had an ‘art/school/paperwork’ space that I have drug around with me from apartment to condo to house. It has had a collection of items from undergrad (early 2000’s) to now and was overwhelming. I just worked with Emily and could not be more pleased. I can actually use the space for school work now, and it is going to drastically help with grad school. She even took the donations away so that I wouldn’t have to do it.”
“I had the pleasure of having Emily organize my daughter’s room. She was caring, efficient, and professional. My daughter loves her new room and I was so impressed that I’ve already booked her for another job!”
“Emily takes the reins & really gets you organized. She’s fun, nice, professional, & conscientious. I plan on keeping her on heavy rotation as I tend to space out frequently & accumulate regularly. Keep Eliminate in mind when you want to keep home on point & your nesting chakras neatly aligned.”
“I remember both the healing that happened and the high of happiness and agency over my own life that I felt! It taught me just how much having a nice space to live in affects my mental health. It was like a natural, really powerful antidepressant for me!”
“If your house is anything like mine, you’ve got one room which has become a catch-all for ‘everything else’. That room was my workshop/office, and Emily tackled months’ worth of pile up in a single day! She is focused from start to finish and has a keen eye for organization. I couldn’t recommend her services highly enough.”
