Another interesting piece from weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal on, “Life at Home in the Twenty First Century.” Did you know for instance, that 75% of garages (according to their study) had no more room to store a car? Or how about this: the typical chaotic garage, says the Journal, held 300 to 650 boxes, storage bins and spillover items from the house. Yikes! A New Yorker only dreams of having this much space to waste! For more staggering factoids…
The Less You Have
Necessity is the mother of organization
Liz Savage’s calm, good cheer, insights and natural orderliness turned tasks I had been dreading into projects I could actually accomplish- and sometimes even ones I could enjoy!
Elisheva, Manhattan
“Liz is a magician. She comes over to a place of chaos, works her magic, and leaves behind order and calm – and me feeling a lot happier.”
Samuel, Brooklyn
Liz is amazing. We met at a time when I was moving apartments and needed to deal with large amounts of clutter in order to make packing, and the overall move, work. She helped guide me through a huge, thorough and complete cleaning and reorganizing process that changed the way I use- and see- my living space. I can now get use of things because I can find them, and also because I have less. She truly helped me shed the unnecessary.
Carolyn, Manhattan
“We had a large closet in our front hallway that needed some serious attention. After speaking with Liz about our specific needs for the project, she quoted me a very fair and reasonable price and we made it happen. We spent a great afternoon together going through everything and reorganizing. We couldn’t have done it without her.”
Albert, Manhattan
“I was awed, I was grateful. Liz was the one. Within two days, she had waded through everything, consulting with me over what to toss and what to file under which category. We came up with dozens…and she created a place for each, writing the headings onto manila folders that she dropped into hanging files in the double-wide, teak-finish filing cabinet I had bought at Ikea five years earlier, but had never made much use of. “
