"I worked with Kerry to organize my entire house, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Before we started, I felt a mix of excitement and hesitation because I had years’ worth of 'stuff' that had followed me through multiple moves and phases of life. Kerry guided me through the process step by step with incredible patience and encouragement. She helped me truly understand what I wanted to keep in my life and how to let go of the things that no longer served me. I was amazed at the sheer volume of items I ended up donating—it's hard to believe! More importantly, I feel great about it. I was completely overwhelmed before, and there’s no way I could have tackled this on my own. Kerry’s approach - evaluating everything you own before trying to organize it - is a game-changer. I'm so glad I took the leap and hired her. And she makes amazing banana bread!"

"I needed more room in my multi-generational home, which comes with children, pets and other people's cherished possessions. Letting others into my cluttered home induced shame. I was very anxious about intentionally asking anyone to look directly at things I generally hid from view. Kerry was kind and no-nonsense, diving right in. She always gave objective feedback without judgement. I would recommend Kerry to anyone, especially those worried about embarrassment.
We addressed specific clutter when I had the time, which was sporadic and hard to come by. Her practical observations and guidance helped me understand which things I wanted to keep and which to let go of, all while keeping my dignity. Our first session focused on my clothing. As someone who's gone up and down in body size repeatedly, we found a plan for keeping clothing in various sizes. My motivation was saving money when I needed those sizes again. With Kerry's help, I was able to donate boxes of clothing I'd had for years. I never felt I was being guided to create her vision of what my space should be, or pressured into overwhelming decisions. At every step, Kerry was simply facilitating my mission to take back control of my space.
(PS - above is my socially acceptable review. Here's the one I really wanted to write: 'Before Kerry my home was a hot mess. I'm telling you, she is the brazilian wax of organizing. Hire her immediately.')"

"Working with Kerry was wonderful. I was stuck in a mountain of clothing of varying sizes. I really had a difficult time with holding on to sizes I might get into again. Pulling things out and having conversations regarding different garments and how they had once served me well could bring the same joy to others instead of gathering dust in my closet and drawers. Once we started it went rather quickly for me to let go. There was one piece of clothing I could no longer wear, yet there was a real sentimental connection. She let me share my story and tears. She then helped me think of some creative ways I could display and enjoy this precious memory instead of relegating it to a tote.
I have found it very easy to keep my clothes organized in a way that serves me and my life well. It is just the beginning of a new, more organized season of life ahead! Thank you, Kerry, and look forward to our future visits! If you are thinking of working with Kerry, take the opportunity - she’s a gem and it will help you find the joy in the things you own."

"I recently worked with Kerry at BrightSpace to finally get my chaotic, disorganized bedroom dealt with. It was a great experience, & helped to make my days, especially my mornings, less stressful. My closet area in particular had become a source of stress with too many clothes crammed together with no real order, and I could never find what I needed. Kerry came in, helped me sort through everything, and created a system that should work great going forward. Everything now has a place, and it’s way easier to keep things organized & quickly pick out what I want to wear each day. The process was efficient, not overwhelming at all, and she really knew what she was doing. If you’re looking to get your bedroom/closet (or any space) in order, I highly recommend working with Kerry (BrightSpace)."

"I needed help organizing my home, but the approach was a bit different than normal as it is a small cabin built in 1924 with very little storage space, and I am handicapped, so accessibility is an issue. Kerry came and showed me new and efficient ways of sorting through the things I needed, the things I wanted, and the things someone else could use. We worked together so well, always with accessibility in mind. Where most people can use a chest of drawers for their clothes, in my small bedroom with little space to walk on my forearm crutches, Kerry helped to find an alternative solution that worked perfectly. Again in my office area, my supplies and files are no longer a mad mess due to my range of motion restrictions, but are now organized in a wonderful and accessible manner. Not only was the physical help such a delight, but Kerry was so much fun to work with. She asked the questions that guided me to a simpler life, and she was such a delightful person to work with. I would recommend her to anyone! She is a wonderful asset and I plan to keep her on speed dial for any new challenges I will face!"
