Trying to de-clutter can be a real task, especially for those who are prone to hoarding. We've all (I hope) sat on the floor surrounded by a pile of old concert tickets, dog-eared photographs, long-ago scribbled letters and clothes you know you'll never wear again ...and find that we're quite unable to part with them. Back they all go into the cupboard. Even the most organised among us can put off tidying certain rooms or cupboards and the longer we do so, the less desirable the job becomes. If only someone could wave a magic wand and make the mess disappear...
Make Space and Time is an innovative new company run by Louise Donald, who seems to possess one of these magic wands and thankfully is happy to share its wonders. Louise comes from a background of lifestyle management has a degree in human geography so she knows how important space is - and also how hard it is to find the time to make space!
In the office (whether home-based or otherwise), for example, she'll help clear out your filing system or implement a new one for you. By asking questions - tactfully of course! - she'll ascertain whether you honestly need to keep particular items and help you to get rid of the clutter. If you do need to keep everything, Louise can archive it all for you to ensure the files you need are always at your fingertips.
Moving home's always a stressful experience, hardly helped by the preceding great tidy-up. Again, Make Space and Time can help take the heartache out of it all. Louise is a great advocate of recycling so if you're loath to throw out clothing, furniture or bits and pieces she can arrange council or charity pick-ups; or if you've arranged to auction your items, she can oversee the process for you. These services are extremely helpful during times of bereavement, too.
Louise works throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. Why not get in touch to enquire a free consultation?
