Rise & Organize

My niece has started a new business that offers a great new service to the Atlanta and North Georgia area, and I wanted to make sure that you found out about it. Her name is Helen Preston, and her business is Rise and Organize. The unusual aspect of her household organization assistance is the full-spectrum approach to addressing whatever challenges a homeowner may be facing in getting out from under a home space that has run wild. This includes everything from designing wardrobe and closet space usage to arranging internet sales of unwanted yet valuable gear to sifting through a garage piled high with everything but the family car that ought to be there. She will arrange for any mountain of junk to be hauled away or operate a yard sale to turn the better pieces into cash. But these are only the mechanics, and many people have additional concerns with revamping the comfortable clutter that is snowing them under. Helen is attuned to the more emotional sides of reclaiming a living space, will devote her time to listening and being responsive, and networks with designers and even counselors for whom the very real distresses of changing one’s surroundings are a special focus. The results that Helen will work toward are a client who is happy with a new outlook for having home space serve the needs of the family and a house that is set-up as a natural extension of those needs. Of course, I am prejudiced, but I know Helen to be a conscientious yet creative person who becomes absorbed by her mission and finding its most satisfactory outcome. She is easy to talk to and low-key about “signing ‘em up.” So, if any of these services might be useful to you, I’d encourage a call or eMail to her, just to let her hear what you have in mind.
