How to Declutter Before Downsizing
A practical, low-stress plan for sorting belongings before downsizing, from a professional home organizer serving Louisville and Oldham County.
Read the guide →Moving to a smaller home, or simplifying for the years ahead, asks you to make hundreds of decisions during a season that is already full. We build a realistic plan, sort belongings with you, and keep the process moving without letting it feel rushed.

Floor plans and measurements turn an unanswerable question (“might I use this someday?”) into a practical one: where would this live? Knowing that the dining set will not fit or that the new closet is half the size resolves dozens of smaller decisions at once, and it keeps you from paying to move things that have nowhere to go.
Downsizing is not about giving up everything that matters. We set aside a realistic amount of room for keepsakes early, then help you choose the pieces that best carry the story. Bulky items you want to remember but cannot keep can be photographed before they go.
Furniture and heirlooms promised to relatives can stall an entire move. We help you share a list, set a response date, and settle who handles pickup, so items in limbo do not end up in the moving truck by default.
Sorting a lifetime of belongings is tiring in a way that surprises people. We start in low-emotion areas to build momentum, keep sessions to a length that works for you, and sequence the hardest categories for when you have support and time.
Sessions are $70 per hour for the lead organizer and $65 for each additional organizer. The consultation is free and comes with a recommended scope before anything is booked.

Meredith was absolutely amazing, came in ready to go and didn’t stop moving the entire time she was here. I was very comfortable with her here, my dogs were comfortable with her here(German shepherds)- this means a lot to me and I know a lot of others. She knocked out so much stuff I had been putting off for an entire year, I would genuinely recommend her to anyone that needs help. Her energy alone was refreshing and inspiring and she was exactly what I needed! Thank you SO much for all your help Meredith, I am so thankful to have met you.
