From Clutter2Clarity: Packing Up for a Remodel: "One of my friends is remodeling her kitchen so we spent this past Saturday packing and purging. After about 4.5 hours in a world of bubb..."
Being a Libra I can't stand things out of balance. My career as design/motion graphics producer, while challenging at times, has brought order to many chaotic situations, so it seemed like a natural progression to combine my innate organizing skills to help others reclaim their lives from clutter. I started my own business. From Clutter2Clarity shows people who are intimidated by organization that there is nothing to fear. This blog features my proven philosophies, strategies, and tips for organizing and decluttering homes and work spaces. Projects include: creating the in-house reference library for Every Day With Rachel Ray Magazine, packing and moving a renowned food blogger and her family, as well as consulting on design ideas for their new home. Not all projects are as intense, sometimes it's all about clearing a closet.
Clarity believes in helping out in the community and has donated de-cluttering time as part of fundraising efforts for the following groups:
Berkeley Carroll School, Brooklyn, NY Barrow Street Nursery School, NY, NY Borough of Highlands Library Fund, Highlands, NJ Clean Ocean Action, Highlands, NJ Coney Island USA, Brooklyn, NY
On Earth 2009, Clarity partnered with Transcendence Spa to dispense free de-cluttering consultations and recycling tips.

Thanks again for all your marvelous help. You are indeed BETTER THAN XANAX! And no side effects! Terry Corrao, Brooklyn, NY
Ashamed at the growing clutter around our house in London, I called in Rosemary for a morning look around and very quickly we came to an agreement about priorities. With 2 growing children, a dog and cat, there were many priorities in my mind, but Rosemary very gently narrowed them down to some intensive work in the 'playroom' which had become a boy's computer room and had a sad, neglected feel to it. When the day of action arrived (Sort out Saturday) I was up far too early clearing irrelevant lofts, but Rosemary came in like a modern-day Mary Poppins, and with great fun and warmth, turned what could have been a stressful day of forcing me to 'let go' of stuff to a really practical, therapeutic series of constructive questions. Just 3 hours in, the room had been transformed into what she termed a 'man cave' where I now centre my self-employed life. The transformation was amazing, and felt completely natural. There's no way I would have been able to have made these changes on my own, so it really pays to have someone as experienced and professional as Rosemary by your side! We followed up SoS with a few sessions via Skype between NY and London to make sure I was on track with the other aspects of de-cluttering we had discussed. The overall effect is like a waterfall - now my boys have started to tidy-up after themselves, and the house is beginning to look more like the vision I had when Rosemary first came round. I can't recommend her services enough - it's like having a close friend and ally helping you get, literally, your house in order!

Cathi Coridan thanks Rosemary for her recommendations for having a great garage sale! I priced things to SELL (even those that used to belong to grandma!) and grouped merchandise by "department" just like in the store! Even with the heat of the day, it was a fun and profitable experience! Thanks Rosemary!!

Rosemary has been helping me systematically purge my house. We started with paperwork (which I am overrun with due to my freelance business on top of my regular job). I was so inspired, I started clearing out one closet at a time on my own, making it though four so far. I have donated clothing, books, etc. She came over recently and we began tackling the garage. There is nothing like friendly support when you're in the trenches!!! If you need help, contact Rosemary, she's better than psychotherapy and makes a fantastic gift for yourself or someone who has everything literally! Tracey Seaman, Middletown, NJ
Hiring Rosemary was literally the best thing I’ve done in years! I was so sick of looking at all the clutter in my flat that had been accumulating and expanding for years and years and thought, what is one thing I could do for myself that would have a huge impact on my life, and my solution was, get Rosemary over to London and let her loose on my flat. Then from the moment she arrived her enthusiasm for decluttering and providing the most useful tips on keeping things tidy and in their respective places was just incredible-and contagious and after 2 weeks of Rosemary transforming my flat, drawers and cupboards I have continued to utilise all her useful tips and hints to ensure I didn’t go back to my old ways. In addition to transforming my flat, Rosemary tackled my huge “to do” list of things like, get a repair man in for this and that and I am happy to say that after 11 years in my flat I finally have beautiful gas fireplaces, smoke detectors and an intercom that actually works!
I can’t thank Rosemary enough for all her hard work, enthusiasm, dedication and wonderful guidance in making my living space and life so much less cluttered and relaxing-she’s like a magic wand that EVERYONE who knows her should make use of-she’s just fantastic!!! Nora McCormick, London, England
what an amazing experience - even tho' 'scratching the surface' of my clutter-itis, Rosemary has given me enough impetus, and friendly advice to continue the fight against it for months to come! Adam Woods, Teddington, England
