“Kate the Great transformed my kitchen. For years, I tolerated the layout, putting things where I thought they should go, but it didn't really work for me. When I hired Kate, she asked great questions to help me get to what I envisioned, not just for my kitchen, but for my family and our lifestyle.

Working with Kate is a joy. She keeps me focused on the task at hand without being pushy. She never tries to impose an organizing system on me; we brainstorm to figure out what works best for me. Her delightful sense of humor also lightens the mood, when that's what is called for.
In no time at all, Kate had created solutions for all the little things that had been bugging me. We categorized my cookware, my pantry, and – thank goodness – my Tupperware in ways that make sense to me. I didn't realize how much those minor annoyances were chipping away at my energy level, my happiness, and my love of cooking.

So, now I have a new kitchen, and I didn't even have to renovate."

“Kate is efficient, focused and very observant. She listens closely to understand the reasons organization is needed. Then, she applies her skills, giving directions and offering a sort of asset map for what to do next."

“I feel like my family has finally moved into our house after 2 years. Katharine helped me organize my kitchen space and home office. Every time I turn around, I love what I see. She worked with me in a way that made sorting through kitchen cabinets and drawers and unpacking books feel doable.

I realized that I was so overwhelmed by these jobs that I had put them off. With Katharine’s help, I didn't need to put off these tasks any longer. It was not an overwhelming job but, rather, a calm afternoon with a trusted friend. And now I feel at peace in my home."

“For quite some time, my sewing room was so cluttered that I couldn't work in it. The first great thing Katharine did was convince me that we could really organize the space and that it was worth the effort. After working on it by myself and getting overwhelmed, I asked Katharine to help. She came to my house and gently moved me along. I am pleased to say that now, I can actually use my sewing room for its intended purpose."

“I hired Katharine to consult with me regarding the moving of my residence. She offered some of the most helpful and practical organizing tips I have ever received plus reminded me how to take care of myself during such an overwhelming time. Her input made both packing and unpacking more efficient and pleasant.

A few hours with Katharine were worth every dollar because of the time and energy she saved me. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”
