Connie
I was going to go on vacation and I reached Connie and inquired if she'd help me.
When I arrived home what a wonderful surprise! My hallway closet was cleaned and organized! My plastic containers were arranged in a manner where I could find them easily, my games, gift wrapping materials and photo albums were neatly arranged.
It was a relief to have my closet organized, as it remains today! Connie is personable, professional and cares about her clients! - Kent H. (Gresham, OR)
**************
Connie came on very short notice, not to mention it was four days before Christmas. The room was trashed and she got to the bottom of it. - Tiffany T. (Salem, OR)
**************
I am a 77-year-old widow who moved from a five-bedroom farmhouse to a two bedroom, small apartment in 1997. Connie coordinated and organized my entire move. She helped with the sorting process that was emotionally draining; however, her compassion and logical thinking helped me decide what to take with me, what was trash or to be recycled, and what should be donated. She then boxed up the items, wrote the contents on the containers so we knew what room it went to so to avoid confusion while moving. She supervised the movers loading and unloading of my belongings. I had errands to run, shopping to do for my new home, and when I got home, almost everything was unpacked, and the furniture was in place (even the bed was made). She really made a very hard transition move much easier.
Eleven years later, I realized I had accumulated more “stuff” than my apartment could hold, to include several hundred books. I tried over time to get rid of things that I really did not need, but it was too hard. Connie stepped in and helped me get rid of so much stuff, which was donated or recycled, and I then either sold or traded the used books to a local bookstore. She took several carloads of all the recyclable items to a local recycling center. She encouraged me and made me think things over, and why I was keeping the things I had. She never pushed or argued, just encouraged me to let things go that were cluttering my space.
My apartment is supposedly made for seniors 55 years old and older; however, it wasn’t and the cupboards were deep and very hard to get to the back of them. The top shelf was even eight inches shorter than the bottom shelf, making it even harder to get to stored items. Connie built out the shelves to make them the same depth and then she (herself) built sliding drawers in the cupboards. She then added a shelf in my laundry room to add more storage for tall items, which had a bar so I could hang up clothes straight from the dryer and she added hooks for me to store my recycle items (bottles & cans). She reorganized my refrigerator and freezer and added a shelf in an empty space above my fridge to show off my kitchen pig collection. She did not stop there…she organized my spare bedroom closet and custom built shelving units to store all my items (to include rolling shelves under the bottom shelf.
The owners of the apartment complex were very pleased with all the upgrades Connie made and everything she accomplished has made my apartment a much better place to live. - Velma V. (Lawrence, KS)
**************
Connie was so helpful and insightful in my needs. She gave me ideas to help organize that I would have never thought of. My new office and craftroom is wonderful, I may never come out! Will definately use in the future. - Michelle S. (Salt Lake City, UT)
**************
Connie came in, installed shelving, painted them to match my room and made a perfectly functional beading, jewelry making area where everything is right in reach. My life is so much easier now that everything is organized, labeled and in one place. - Anonymous (Oregon)
**************
You were so patient with me and my pile of papers. You are so good at what you do. Thank you so much. - Julie B. (Oregon City, OR)
**************
Connie did an excellent job of listening and understanding what I really needed in the way of help from her. Her empathy and professionalism helped me to focus on the task in front of me. - Kristen D. (Lake Oswego, OR)
**************
It was a delight working with Connie. She helped identify my needs & understood my limitations. - Annie P. (Happy Valley, OR)
