We didn't want to waste precious time or energy moving items we didn't need/love/want, so Louise's assistance with going through our house (room by room!) over the course of about 6 months was one of the greatest gifts we could have given ourselves. We purged - [A.C.](https://topshelforg.com/testimonial/a-c-2/) - Our 3-generation shoebox apartment (sub-800 sq ft! mischevious baby afoot!) setup was increasingly straining my productivity, so I hired Louise to help tackle our living room.

We are considering moving, but I was paralysed at the thought of having to work through years of stuff.
