Creative Space Organizing

If you’re at your wits end and cannot deal with clutter, call Steve.
If you’re moving, call Steve.
If you’ve moved and are overwhelmed with 100 boxes of stuff that need unpacking, call Steve.
I was in the midst of planning of move and I knew I needed help. As organized as I thought I was, I was not ashamed to call Steve to help me pack and unpack after my move.
He was like a machine — he helped me unpack my kitchen, office and bedroom and made sure everything was labeled, organized and easy to find.
If you’ve ever considered getting organized/​moving/​unpacking, please call Steve. His professional demeanor, sense of humor and top notch organizing skills will help you breathe a sigh of relief that you can get your life back on track!

Steve has a great sense of style and design. He not only is good at making the right decisions about what to keep and what to toss (recycle) but he is fabulous at making any space look great. I was worried that he would make me feel bad about all the clutter that needed to be sorted though but Steve is not like that. Steve is all about getting the job done with minimal stress. He is fast and efficient. I highly recommend Steve for getting you home or office cleared out and organized.

Yup Steve is fabulous, fast, funny! A whirling dervish who as others have said can keep working and talking with you at the same time.
I hired him a couple years ago for a package of maybe 4 sessions and he was amazing.
Then very recently called him in again as i had created another big mess to clean up.
He is a lifesaver and I highly recommend him!

At the end of 2009 — just as I turned 59 — the company that had employed me for 24 years laid me off as they did with every employee nearing retirement age. Of course, I was unable to find work and now live on my Social Security, so you can imagine that I’ve had to downsize seriously. My late husband and I lived in a spacious home in Alameda with lots of stuff. I initially moved into a two-​bedroom place near South Shore but couldn’t keep up with the rent after spending what little retirement money I had. So, I wound up living in a very, very nice but also a very small apartment in the Berkeley Hills.
When I moved in, I still had not only too much stuff but also many items that were simply too large for the space. Steve helped immensely with all of these problems. It took several appointments but by the time we decided that he was done, the difference was remarkable! Among other things, he helped me rid my home of a lot of useless stuff that I had simply drug along as I moved. He also gave me wonderful suggestions about the best way to use the little space I have. When he left, I didn’t find myself looking for things because they were right where I’d expect them to be. Steve is just one of those people who knows how to organize at a cellular level. He was born with a gift for it.
On top of all that, Steve is a lot of fun to work with, and he made the entire process very pleasant. When’s the last time you dug through all of your old boxes and drawers of junk and had a good time, too? Steve is worth every penny. Give him a call. You’ll be happy, relieved and far more organized once he’s done.

Organizing whirlwind! We just moved into Oakland and into a very small house with a small, crafty kitchen with an unusual layout. I love to cook and we use the kitchen a lot, so I wanted everything to be in the right place. I didn’t know where to start, and so I asked Steve to help me get it sorted out. I put all the boxes in the kitchen, and three hours of non-​stop work later, he had it all worked out and everything in just the right places. 3 months later, it still feels right. I’ve not had to relocate anything. He was well worth the investment!

Thank you Steve for getting triple done in our time together. He is the Fast and Furious of organizing. You know how some people keep looking at piles of stuff, and don’t know where to begin. That was me. I was paralyzed, wringing my hands in distress. Steve came in and got immediately in action, whipped my into light speed, and we clear three times the space I was expecting in the amount of time I booked. Now I am frequently going into my new space to feel the new energy, and revel in the organization. Steve is a positive, supportive, and fun. I highly recommend his service.

Good lord, Steve’s great. I am extremely pregnant and useless and while I’d normally be the sort of person to get right in there and get dusty… I needed someone to do all the work for me this time around. He normally collaborates with clients, but was very accommodating and tirelessly hacked away at my shithole of an art room for 3 hours, transforming it from a disaster zone where nothing creative could possibly happen to a place with space for all sorts of projects and work to occur. Does this man even drink water or urinate? He certainly didn’t for those 3 hours.
His rate was much higher than others I’ve seen, and it was worth every penny — because at the end of 3 hours, I had a space I could use and very little «homework». If I ever let myself get horribly disorganized again, he will be my go-​to guy.
Steve’s also got an art background, so if you happen to be a messy artist, it’s nice that he knows what different art supplies are and why you might be very attached to things you made in the past even if they suck.
And he takes PayPal. Just hire him.

Steve works non-​stop, efficiently and is simply fun to work with and get through anything. I started out with a 3 hour test run and he did not stop for a second. Then a 6 hour session and it seemed like my entire garage was taken outside, re-​organized and then put back in order almost to the minute.
I have a home based office with a garage full of product samples and testing gear — getting that garage in order in 6 hours was no small feat — it took another 3 hours to go through all the small stuff but in all of the work with Steve he just moved and moved and kept on moving — it was constant accomplishment!
As always we each have reservations when it comes to hiring someone for what can be relatively personal jobs as well as the fact that their is a concern regarding are we going to get our money’s worth — I can definitely tell you without reservation that Steve is professional, easy to work with, very hard working and worth the money!
My office paperwork and clutter were put in order and were not only organized but alphabetized and labeled. The garage has much more space yet everything is easy to get to and in many cases labeled.
If you are reading this review then give him a call and you will be happy you did.

Steve is the organizing super genius. He came in, got a quick sense of what I was after and we hit the ground running. I had worked with a different organizer who insisted I do things her way but that didn’t work for me and how I do things. In contrast, Steve was able to listen to how my brain works then easily, cheerfully and skillfully organize in such a way that made sense for me and how I need things.
Whereas I didn’t know where to begin, he got right in there and knew exactly what to do. In 3 hours I had a miraculous makeover of my walk-​in pantry/​storage and my kitchen cabinets were re-​arranged and organized exactly how I needed and imagined — but better AND with labels! :swoon: I keep looking into the pantry/​closet to just to admire how perfect it is. I was really shocked he was able to get it done PLUS the kitchen cabinets I needed in just 3 hours, I had assumed it would take at least 2 visits. He’s just THAT good.
All in all, he was incredibly efficient, fast, friendly, warm, non-​judgmental and lots of fun to work with. He’s one of those people who can talk and organize at the same time, there wasn’t a single wasted moment — I don’t think his hands ever stopped moving! I appreciated that he just knew what to do and didn’t have to ask me about every single item — he simply made executive decisions that made sense. I was also impressed that he had reasonably priced organizing baskets, shelves and bins right in his car so I didn’t have to go shopping to try and find the right things. We were able to make it perfect right then and there. Thank you Steve!

Steve absolutely saved us. After our third child was born, our house felt incredibly cramped and we considered MOVING to a new house. Instead, we called Steve. We figured even if we decided to move, having our place organized wouldn’t be time/​money wasted.
Fast forward approximately 10 sessions and our house feels amazing — we opened up so much space we moved in a 5′ baby grand piano!
Yes, he’s expensive. Yes, he’s worth every penny. My mother tried two different organizers in the Sacramento area, both substantially less expensive and neither were able to accomplish what Steve did for us.
We’re thrilled with the results.

Thank Heavens for Creative Space Organizing! We can actually live in our space now. So very worth the money. Steve is fun and energetic and kind. You’ll get 5x the amount of work done in 3 hours than if you’d done it yourself. Thanks Steve!

There are no words to express my ABSOLUTE DELIGHT in my work with Steve!
Not only did he get me organized in ways that were beyond my wildest dreams, not only is he an absolute HOOT to work with, but he actually, honest to goodness, managed to find a very significant amount of money that I had completely forgotten about!
Do yourself a big favor and call Steve to help get your life in order. It is truly a gift that keeps on giving!

Steve is amazing! I have a few cluttered closets that he went in and completely transformed! But the greatest part about Steve is this… NO JUDGEMENT… I was so worried that he would think I was a mini-​hoarder and judge my stuff — but he didn’t. He treated me and all my things with the utmost respect while showing me creative ways to re-​organize my space in a SUPER fast way!

I had been staring at a pile of overflow crapola for 8 months since I moved last year. I finally realized I needed to get some help or else I would never be rid of it trying to tackle it on my own. I called Steve, along with several other professional organizers. Steve was among the first to return my call, and the only one who laid out clearly and succinctly exactly what we would be doing together. Everybody else was all over the place – they sounded like disorganized organizers!
Steve came to my house and within 3 hours the pile that had taken over my office was gone. We organized things into bins and folders, and he neatly labeled everything so that I could find it more easily in the future. Steve also gave me great tips and strategies for structural changes and shelving, which will make my life even easier in the future. Add to that, he was fun to talk to. I would definitely call on Steve again.

Steve is really great to work with. He is not just about organizing, but also making what you already have look a lot better.

Steve is a great organizer!!! He knows all the right connections/​departments for every type of your donations and where they can be best used. I had loads of linen; gave to SPCA (was not aware they accept such items) He is aware of where your recyclable items should go. He is fast, is an understatement!!! He does not waste time in getting the job done. I wish I could have use his services long ago.

Steve is the best organizer ever! He is professional, friendly, encouraging and FAST! I call Steve every time large and heavy things are getting out of control in my garage and he makes quick work of it. I have referred him to others and they find him to be remarkable. He thinks of everything, from bringing bins, labeler and has a power team of resources for related services.
Don’t even look anywhere else, Steve does it great every time!

I had Steve come over to help with a little design and organization.
Design. After he came over and touched stuff (I had not purchased anything new) my friend came over and said «Why wasn’t it like this before?» It looked great. A few purchases in, it looked fabulous. I wish I had called him before I bought anything.
Organizing. For anyone who has an organization project looming, I would just pay him to come fix it. He will get it done in three hours. I would have spent 18 and I wouldn’t even have the cute labels.
In addition to being talented, Steve is also very nice and easy to work with. I very much personally enjoyed the time I spent with him.

Steve is a life saver and organizing god! In three short hours he swept through and completely changed our house full of overwhelming clutter and years of accumulated ‘crap’ into something manageable. He inspired us to work hard to see through the mess to remove what doesn’t matter, find what’s really meaningful, and clearly organize the things that stayed. We continue to be inspired to de-​clutter and organize while using his wonderful tricks and resources that he laid out for us in that first visit. Thank you, Steve — you’ve made our lives so much calmer.
Now, to tackle the shed…

Steve Adams came several times to help with organizing our apartment. We downsized from 3800 Sq feet to just under 1300. I can put things away. I just cannot organize closets and drawers and kitchen counter tops in the first place. Steve is a wizard at this! I ordered an armoire just to house all of my small appliances and extra stuff (large kitchen aid mixer, food processor, juicer, etc) and per my request, he was here when it was delivered. He also found other things to go in there and I regained my valuable counter top real estate space. He organized my junk drawers and a month later they are still great. We also did recipe books and more paper work
My vanity area was a night mare. My husband thought it looked like a pirates treasure box with all of my jewelry hanging out from it. After Steve was done I found all of my jewelry that had fallen to the bottom of my ocean. It was like a party and I now had all of my favorite pieces. He even helped with some pictures and placement.
In the kitchen cabinets he found space to have my every day dishes organized and we were even able to fit my mother’s china that I had inherited in there so that I can use this set easily. Before it was difficult to get to the china set and basically I did not use the good china for any of the holidays last year. I now not only can use them but I see them when I open the cupboard. For this I am thankful.
My husband and I have very organized clothes closets. This is really wonderful to see and get to everything now. He had his trusty labeler and put it all together like magic. I love my closet now!!! It makes sense and we did get rid of things.
I have lots of candles and candle holders. They were stored everywhere. Steve helped me ferret them out and now they are in one place. I have a clear accounting of where they are stored and I can use them easier. This may sound small but If you have something you love then they could end up in all sorts of places
By utilizing Steve’s services, I can focus on other things like work, vacations, dieting and physical fitness. I had planned to take a stay cation on my own. I would have wasted 40 hours of my paid time off and I would not have had the results that I had with Steve.
I sleep better knowing my home is organized. I spend less time looking for things and I am confident when people come over that they will not open a cabinet and have items jump out at them.
Steve even went out to my 50 foot balcony and helped with plant and furniture placement. Things like this increased the comfort and beauty of my space. I loved my apartment when I first saw it but then making your things work in a smaller space than what I previous had took Steve’s acumen and talent.
The 3 hour increments were great. We got a lot done and he worked fast. Even though my husband did not want to do anything with his part of the bedroom, Steve reeled him in and we got it done. I would highly recommend Steve to do any organizing project. He is fun, witty, talented and a pleasure to work with.
Thank you Steve!!!
