Fresh Edit Katherine Davis - Certified KonMari®️ Consultant, Professional Organizer, and Decluttering Specialist

After reading Marie Kondo's book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, over a decade ago, I completed my own Tidying Festival and radically changed my homelife. With three kids at home, I needed to simplify and organize, and now I'm thrilled share my skills with clients as a KonMari™ Certified Consultant-in-Training!

I love what I do! You are not boring, you are unique. Your stuff isn’t tedious, it requires your focus. You aren’t messy, you just need some help clearing clutter and creating systems that work.

I love learning new things from my clients. Did you know you can buy a lightsaber that looks just like a movie prop for $800? Or that heavily starched cowboy jeans cannot be re-hung after the dry cleaner - they don’t bend until you shake them out to put them on. Or that some Dysons can run on a power tool battery?

No matter how many homes I visit, there is always something new and special 💚

Professional organizers start their day like everyone else - with a little controlled chaos. Having a calm and orderly morning routine helps me arrive open and supportive for my clients, especially on an emotional day sorting family heirlooms. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes the chaos creeps in anyway. I know my home is easy to reset when things get crazy because I don’t have a lot of clutter and I have systems in place that function well. Decluttering and organizing isn’t just about the visual WOW, it’s about reducing daily friction so you can find moments of joy even on your busiest days.

I do like product, I swear! It’s just not what makes the project worthwhile. Decluttering and organizing is the goal. Some product is really helpful to keep things tidy, or extend your storage in small spaces, etc. but the value is in the declutter and sort, not the bins. Declutter first. Then organize. Then measure for product. Test drive if possible, THEN commit and outfit a space. Don’t squander your investment by rushing to purchase a storage system that doesn’t really work for you.

If you aren’t there to declutter, you’re not getting maximum value from your organizer. Sure, it’s great to come home to a finished product, but it’ll be hard to find your stuff since it’s been shuffled and rehomed, and if you don’t declutter, you just end up with professionally organized clutter.

With that said, there are some incredibly busy people who just need to have their kids’ closets reset with clothes that actually fit, and when they try and do it themselves, the kids make it impossible. Sometimes outsourcing the whole project is the only option.

We can always add bins and labels, but the true value comes from the decluttering phase. Being present and motivated is most of the battle, so once you get there, a pro will guide you the rest of the way 💚

Moving soon? Or have a kitchen that just doesn’t flow? I used a real client’s new kitchen to explain how I’d set her up for success to get meals on the table fast. Intentional, thoughtful organizing (after you declutter!) makes all the difference. I take my cues from professional chefs, who designate zones of work to maximize efficiency and timely output.

The only prep is mental - think about your goals, what you’re struggling with, and what will reduce the friction in your daily life. How can transforming your space move you closer to your ideal lifestyle?

Don’t hide your mess, and don’t buy organizing supplies. How can you buy containers if you don’t know what you’re storing? Declutter first, organize second 💚

Do you need to see everything you own, or calm the visual clutter? A lot of my local Houston clients are “out of sight, out of mind” thinkers. If they check the pantry and don’t immediately see rice, their brain says, “buy rice.” Others get a sense of calm from clashing labels being concealed in a basket or opaque bin.

The final look is important, but what’s more important is function. Don’t let things expire or over-purchase because you’ve made your pantry too confusing. Simple is best, and the baskets look cool, but product adds up fast, and ending up with a system that causes food waste is just more cost.

I recommend clients try one of each in similar categories (zero points for binning the holiday sprinkles in July for a test drive - it needs to be a daily category) and see how they like it. A couple bins won’t break the bank, but a walk-in pantry full of product can give you sticker shock. Better make sure you’re getting a system that helps ease the friction in your every day life for that money 💚

“How long does a pantry take?”

Girl. Not all pantries are created equal. Some are the size of a walk-in closet, and some are 3 cabinets in the corner of the kitchen. Some are packed full of expired foods, and some are bulk-shopped but up to date. Sometimes, when we pull everything out, we discover a pest problem that needs sorting, or a molasses jar that leaked all over your baking supplies.

What I can tell you from experience is that I’ve never seen an organizer try and slow down a client who is making quick decisions in a good frame of mind. If you are zipping along confidently, then so are we. We make sure you’re getting value from the time you’re paying for, and keep you on track so you don’t take on side quests mid-task. You can do chaotic and incomplete just fine without our help, so we keep the session focused and efficient. Plus, most of us have that type A, need-to-complete-a-job-and-get-a-gold-star vibe, so we are not motivated to mess around and leave things half baked.

We have shared goals, and we’ll get you to the finish line at whatever pace you set! Decluttering is sometimes fast, like in the closet or garage, and often slow when it comes to papers, sentimental items, and even books. So please know that we are ready when you are, and it’s going to be faster as a team than it would be if you tidied alone. There’s a reason most of us charge by the hour and not by the room - because X amount for a bedroom will vary wildly from house to house!
