Sorted & Styled

Sort & styled my pantry, and it was life changing! We were contemplating hiring a contractor and dumping a few thousand to have our pantry torn out and then rebuilt. Instead, we gave this a go, and Meredith found and organized everything into a system for us. I also had closet consultation done, and followed through with all the suggestions. Now the hubs is so proud of how near my side is :)

My closet and my husband’s closets were disasters. Both of us have clothes that fit, clothes that use to fit and clothes we hope will fit again, and I have a hard time throwing out clothes that might fit or might come back into style. Needless to say I hadn’t cleaned these two closets since we moved to this home 17 year ago. Meredith came in and pulled everything out of the closets. She sorted first the «things» that were in style 10 to 15 years ago (they didn’t fit anyway) these items went into the give to charity bag — who knows they might make some neat costumes. Then she pulled out all the clothes that were too large and still in style this pile was to go to «Dress for Success». She then sorted the rest of the clothes by season and color. Shoes and purses were also sorted, tossed and arranged. Meredith did all of this while I was at work and when I came home we went through the piles to make sure there was nothing that I wanted. I was proud that I only pulled a couple of outfits back and a pair of shoes. My closets now look fantastic, I can see what I have and am able to maintain the closets. Besides that she made enough room in the closets that I was able to buy a few new outfits. Thanks Meredith and the next time you are back in Billings let’s work on some of my kitchen cabinets.

Meredith organized my entire closet and it is amazing! She sorted through clothes, shoes, purses and jewelry to make it more functional. In one day she took my closet from a messy unorganized mess to magazine worthy. It is has been almost a year now and still looks good. She set up a system that is easy to understand and follow. I can’t wait until she comes back to do the rest of the closets and pantry. I would highly recommend her!

Meredith Brister recently organized my closet, which also functions as general and office storage, dust bunny bonanza, and place to keep my moving supplies for my next lucky apartment. First, I showed her the disaster area, and she asked what I wanted to achieve with the organization: purge it or make it easier to use. She was not phased when I asked for a combo. Further, she did not argue or judge when I said certain items were out of bounds. Instead, Meredith asked questions to determine my boundaries and comfort levels, and worked within them. She made it so that I was not embarrassed by the mess I had carefully cultivated. Meredith also made several suggestions to make the space more efficient. I am perhaps most excited about her techniques to determine whether items are being used or merely the subject of pack rat tendencies. I can tell it’s working because I’m nervous it will prove I really should get rid of a great deal of clothing. Time will tell. Meredith Brister’s techniques and services in organizing amounted to both a great experience and a much more usable space. Even looking at my closet days later, I know I could not have done it without her. Given these results and her level of professionalism, I definitely want her to invade the depths of my apartment again.

This lady is seriously gifted in the organizing department. If you are like me and A) don’t have time to deal with the clutter, and B) don’t have a clue how to tackle it, even if you did have the time, Meredith is your gal. I was tickled pink when she left my house! What are you waiting for? You will be so happy you called!
