Kitchens

I will arrange cabinets and contents to make
the kitchen efficient for cooking and entertaining! I like to create zones; such as,
an area for everyday items, an area for serving/entertaining, and area for
small electronics, baking and cooking. Also, I can organize the pantry
with like things together that is visually easy to allow you to find what you need
and avoid buying too many items that you already have! I love adding turntables
and baskets to maximize space!

Home Office

With my label maker, I will create a filing system with an index
to organize files and allow you to easily locate papers when needed!
Also, clear desk clutter by establishing an "In" and "Out" for everyday tasks.

Kids Rooms

I will help contain toys and books, clear clutter and maximize space in the closets!
Also, I can help find storage ideas and advise on how to keep items contained.

Bathroom Storage

I can help maximize storage, clear clutter and make this an enjoyable
and relaxing room to be in! There are many options for finding space and using that space efficiently!

Home staging for prospective buyers

I will arrange furniture and accessories to produce clean and eye-pleasing rooms to attract
the potential buyers. Also, advise on any low-cost additions that would be beneficial!

In a nutshell, what do I do?

As a professional organizer I provide customized organizing solutions for your lifestyle. This involves creating and maintaining a system of order in your home or your office. Where organizing approaches already exist, I can enhance those structures to improve productivity, relieve anxiety, and reduce stress.

About Me

Laurie Rosenberg is a second generation Atlantan. She is a graduate of the University of Georgia School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Wife of Joel Rosenberg for 28 years. Mom to Adam (26) and Hallie (24).

“I have always had a knack for organizing, finding and using space efficiently. After working in retail for seven years, I decided to follow my passion for organizing and helping people put order to clutter!. I am very serious about my work and as a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), I abide by the code of ethics proposed by the NAPO organization.”

“Don’t Agonize, Organize! ”
-- Florynce Kennedy

Q: What geographic area do you serve?
A: All over Atlanta. I have clients from Buckhead to Dunwoody to East Cobb.

Q: What can I expect during an organizing session?
A: Each session depends on each client’s needs. The first step to organizing anything, is deciding the “ideal vision” for the space or room. Then, sometimes we just roll up our sleeves and jump in. Other jobs take a one-hour assessment, and then a 3-hour session on another day or two. This allows me to return with containers or other organizing supplies that will enhance the project. It is important to only work for 3 hours at a time, as fatigue sets in and we become counter- productive!

Q: How do you charge?
A: The fees are charged hourly and are based on the client’s needs as well. During a phone conversation, I determine what will be done and can quote a fee.

Q: Who needs a professional organizer?
A: Anyone can benefit from having an organizer find space, reduce clutter, create a system for an efficient home office, establishing order to the kitchen, pantry, laundry room or closet so that things that go together are put together to eliminate stress when you need to find something!

Q: What does it mean to be organized and what are the benefits?
A: Listed below are some examples of what is done to become organized and some of the benefits:

1. Cleaning out clutter which clears space and dust!*
2. Setting up storage and/or a memory box to remove papers
3. Donating unwanted items – feel good by helping others (I volunteer with the Women’s Resource Center to End Domestic Violence – they love donations!)
4. Eliminating buying duplicate office supplies and groceries.
5. Recycling to help the environment.

*According to a new Australian study in January 2008, clutter can cause feelings of anxiety and depression. People stash clutter in cabinets, garages, or spare bedrooms. There are 4 categories of clutter:

+ Emotional clutter – things with sentimental meaning, but little financial value – including toys, children’s drawings, unwanted gifts, personal possessions of absent loved ones.
+ Just-in-case clutter – things with little or no sentimental value, but that “might come in handy one day” – such as old bills, bank statements, tools or clothes.
+ Bought clutter – impulse purchases, often acquired recently, that end up never or barely being used, commonly clothes, accessories, and books.
+ Bargain clutter – free or very cheap things acquired at sales, from friends or family which are discarded reluctantly because they were so cheap.

"Laurie is so great in helping me organize my files, sort, store, and clean out unnecessary papers, and put things in their proper places with an index to fine them all quickly. She is a pleasure to work with". -- EJL

"If you need someone to help you get it together, you should call Laurie Rosenberg! She helped me confront my numerous, scary piles of stuff. She has many talents, but her greatest gift is her ability to see spatial relationships and set up rooms so that they work in an effective way. Additionally her wonderful personality makes the unpleasant task of organizing much more pleasant." -- DB

“While moving into my new house, I called Laurie to help me unpack and set up my kitchen. She transformed my kitchen into such an easy and efficient place that now, I actually enjoy cooking and entertaining! I had to have her come back and we organized my pantry and laundry room, too. She has a great vision for organizing and made an overwhelming job, enjoyable!” MW

“I had my kitchen cabinets refaced and the contents were all removed. I had Laurie Rosenberg come and after a 30-minute assessment, we rolled up our sleeves and set up stations in my kitchen! Everything she did was so practical and relieved my anxiety over such a big job! She is really good at organizing and great to work with!” CM
