What clients have said about working with me
I’m always grateful for the kind words shared by clients who’ve invited me in to help them make lasting changes. Here are some of the lovely things people have said after we worked together to sort through their stuff and create a calmer, more organised space.
A wardrobe that works
Thank you so much. It was an incredible three hour wardrobe session. I had a real feeling of satisfaction afterwards and also relief (and tiredness!).
This morning has been great trying to decide what to wear. I know where everything is and what my options are. Thank you so much for your help and particularly for being so non judgemental and positive.
From embarrassment to pride
Thank you for all your help and guidance Charmain. You were very patient and kind. As you know I was embarrassed to have tradespeople round before because of all my things. But, the plumber has just left and I felt comfortable and proud to show him around. Thank you.
The best Christmas in years
I was dreading Christmas this year but I really enjoyed it because of the work we did together and the way you helped me Charmain.
It turned out to be the best Christmas in a long time, and to be able to have my family visit me again (they hadn’t visited for a long time) made me very happy.
Good habits for the future
Having done such a great job with my kitchen, it was inevitable that I would ask Charmain to work her magic on the other two main rooms in my house, namely the living room and the craft room. Charmain suggested not to do the craft room first, but to tackle the living room in which I did most of my crafting. The rationale for this was basically to spread the tidy nature of the kitchen into the neighbouring living room so that my living space was more appealing, rather than sorting out the Craft Room upstairs. All of the craft materials I had been amassing down in the living room were returned upstairs, and Charmain worked her magic on the living room. As with the kitchen, the end result was a living room that felt so comfortable to sit and relax in, with usable shelves, clear surfaces and plenty of space to entertain others. It was nice having my sister round and not having to move piles of stuff from the chairs that I don’t normally use myself. Because so much stuff was selected for a trip to the charity shop, and because of the way the items that remained were organised, my living room has been easy to keep tidy and I am now far more discerning when it comes to buying anything new. You don’t just get a wonderful room to finally enjoy, you also learn good habits for the future! Right – now to book Charmain’s services again for the craft room…
Sustaining a tidier home
Since working with Charmain, for the first time in my life I am managing to sustain a much, much tidier flat. She is warm, friendly and absolutely knows her stuff. You will be very happy with the results. Try it.
Having such a tidy and functional kitchen has inspired me
"Since I moved in to my new flat 18 months ago, several boxes of my kitchen equipment has been on the bedroom floor and I was keeping crockery in the living room. My mobility issues make bending down a problem, so I wasn’t able to make sensible use of the lower kitchen cabinets for all this time.
By the time Charmain had finished, I had got rid of all the kitchen bits and pieces that I was no longer able to use due to my disability, the kitchen cabinets were reorganised perfectly to suit my needs, and for the first time the surfaces and the tops of the cabinets were completely free of clutter. This not only makes my life easier, but also vastly improves the visual impression given.
Although our focus was the kitchen, Charmain also gave some sterling advice on what to do in other rooms. Having such a tidy and functional kitchen has inspired me to do a little more tidying every day. We put together a shopping list of all the things that would make my life easier, and bit by bit I am putting these new ideas and suggestions into practice.
I can’t thank Charmain enough, not just for turning my kitchen into a usable space, but for giving me the push I needed to sort out the rest of the home in my own time. I highly recommend her services."
Helped me feel less overwhelmed
"I found Charmain’s visit very enlightening as I discovered I have 74 pairs of socks I didn’t know I had!"
"I was impressed with Charmain's decluttering and organising service. She had lots of ideas and turned my messy cupboard into an area where I can easily find everything. It has made a huge difference and I think it will be easier to keep tidy now. I highly recommend anyone using Charmain's services."
