Services

Create clarity, balance, and simplicity in your home and your life

  • Decluttering. Designing systems. Creating sustainable order.

    This is the heart of what I do.

    I begin by listening and learning how your space currently functions — and where it’s falling short. We work together to remove items that are no longer serving you, to create space for what is. Then, we create zones and systems that feel intuitive, flexible, and easy to maintain. Together, we determine what items are on display, what items are tucked away (but easily accessible), and what items are placed in deep storage.

    Ideal for:

    • Kitchens & pantries

    • Closets & wardrobes

    • Basements & garages

    • Home offices

    • Playrooms

    • Storage spaces

    • Whole-home resets

    I follow a thoughtful cycle:
    Listen → Learn → Plan → Implement → Refine

    The goal isn’t just “organized.”
    It’s aligned, and feeling lighter.

  • Support for seasons of change.

    Some chapters require more than decluttering — they require thoughtful planning and emotional clarity.

    I provide hands-on and strategic support during:

    • Downsizing - ie becoming an empty nester, going through a divorce, losing a partner, selling a home, moving, and other major life transitions

    • Expanding into a larger home - ie preparing for a new baby, blended families, etc.

    • Supporting aging relatives

    Services include:

    • Pre-move editing/staging

    • Edit-before-you-pack sessions

    • Donation & disposal coordination

    • Unpacking from a move (organizing, designing, & styling)

    • Drafting 2D/3D Floor Plans in Houzz

    The focus is thoughtful transition — not rushed decisions.

  • Designing how your space works — not just how it looks.

    With a background in universal design thinking, I approach organizing as spatial problem-solving.

    Services include:

    • Floor plan consultation & creation

    • Furniture layout options & adjustments

    • Functional zone creation

    • Storage strategy planning

    • Increasing efficiency and accessibility

    We look at:

    • What can be simplified

    I focus on optimizing space utilization, reducing overwhelm, and building systems that support your next chapter — not your last one.

  • Organizing your habits, not just your shelves.

    Clutter is often a symptom of systems that aren’t working.

    Together we:

Containing Estimate Guide

This is about more than organizing.

Clients get clarity, momentum, and a renewed sense of ease.

Consultations

  • We start with a relaxed conversation—on-site or online—to understand your goals, lifestyle, budget, ideal timeline, and hopes & dreams.

    We’ll define the deliverables you are looking for in working with a professional organizer;

    • Floor Plan(s)

    • List of Suggestions

    • Checklists

    • Lists of Resources

    • Personalized Blue Print

    • Check-Ins (on-site or online)

    The initial 30-minute conversation is complimentary. Agenda

    Walkthrough the space (virtually or on-site), while homeowner takes notes of recommendations in real-time.

    This is typically an hourly rate (minimum of 2 hours, $200), based on square-footage, number of rooms/spaces, etc.

    I also offer drawing 2D floor plans for a room, a floor, or an entire home via HouzzPro. Investment is based on the square footage of space.

  • Walkthrough with recommendations for a DIY process.

    Walkthrough the space (virtually or on-site), while organizer takes notes of client’s goals, hopes, & dreams.

    Organizer provides client with list of recommendations, resources, strategies, etc. for client to DIY. Provide a mid-point check-in, and a wrap-up session.

    This is typically an hourly rate (minimum of 2 hours, $200), based on square-footage, number of rooms/spaces, etc.

    I also offer drawing 2D floor plans for a room, a floor, or an entire home via HouzzPro. Investment is based on the square footage of space.

Sessions

  • We start with a relaxed conversation—on-site or online—to understand your goals, lifestyle, budget, ideal timeline, and hopes & dreams.

    We’ll define how you envision working with a professional organizer as a;

    • consultant (for those DIY’ers - I provide suggestions, checklists, lists of resources, a personalized road map, etc.)

    • guide-on-the-side (for those needing an accountability partner, or motivation to jumpstart a project you’ve been procrastinating on - I show up on-site ready to dive in, taking your lead and cheering you on along the way)

    • And/or project manager (aka consider my services as hitting the ‘easy button’ - I take care of organizing the ‘keep’ items, donating/recycling the ‘toss’ items, etc.).

    Your level of engagement with each phase of this process will impact the overall cost.

    The initial 30-minute conversation is complimentary. Agenda

  • Based on the information shared during the initial conversation, a Project Proposal is presented to the potential client. The Proposal includes how we will work together, a list of deliverables, timeline, and an estimate on the financial investment. Clients review and refine the Project Proposal before e-signing.

    A deposit of at least 50% and a signed agreement are required to move forward with your project(s). An invoice will be emailed with details on a variety of payment options.

    Clients can begin signing up for sessions on my calendar.

    You’ll receive an email reminder one hour before our session begins.

  • This is for someone who has never done a thorough edit of the items they’ve accumulated over the years, and/or is experiencing a pretty significant life transition requiring a deep edit. This option also applies to someone who likes to keep our economy going (retail therapy is a thing) and hasn’t quite honed their organizing routines and habits, yet.

    We pull ALL items out of the space to get a better sense of the inventory (ie materials you have in the space). We will need to identify a space to temporarily place items during the ‘sorting’ phase.

    We will be thoughtful and intentional in what we decide to put back in those spaces.

    If this is your FIRST FULL EDIT - keep in mind that the less items you have, the less on-going maintenance (aka time and money) the space will require of you. Initially we’ll be making more of a mess, and will need a place to sort the items during this stage - but stick with the process, I promise it will be worth it in the end :)

    Let’s do this!

  • At this point, you know the drill - you’ve done this before. This is for someone who is already pretty organized and just needs a tune-up, or a seasonal refresh.

    We pull ALL items out of the space to get a better sense of the inventory (ie materials you have in the space). We will need to identify a space to temporarily place items during the ‘sorting’ phase.

    We will be thoughtful and intentional in what we decide to put back in those spaces.

    Let’s get to work!

  • Sort all of the items into one of two categories initially. Then, we’ll determine the action steps for items.

    • KEEP - display, store, re-home, hold (temporarily)

    • TOSS - trash, recycle, donate, sell

    Together, we’ll strategize how you’d like to proceed with each action step or category. You may need to do multiple edits of the items you placed in the ‘hold’ and ‘keep’ groups. (This is very common, and this is another area that impacts the overall cost of the organizing services.)

    I highly encourage moving the ‘toss’ items out of the home before the session is over - let’s be real; no one likes ‘homework’, and it just invites opportunities for items to sneak back into the home, or accumulate a new pile in a different part of the home. Follow-through is HUGE here…you’re almost there, keep going!

  • Now we take the items in the ‘Keep’ section and group them into identified categories (ie all the light bulbs grouped together, all the scissors, books, etc.). Post-it notes and sharpies come in really handy at this stage.

    This stage helps us have a clear understanding of what we will be returning to bins, baskets, shelves, drawers, etc. and where the most appropriate ‘home’ will be for each category based on how you use the items. This step is essential for creating a lasting, sustainable organizational system tailored to your style.

  • This is where we begin designing systems that work for you.

    Now that we know what items we want on display, what items we want in backstock, and where the items will go, we can determine what the most appropriate containers and labeling system will be. (There is a range of pricing involved in the containing phase, which we will discuss as we move along in the process - we won’t be able to estimate this in the initial proposal.)

    Here’s another phase that can impact the overall cost of organizing services - the more items you keep, the more containers, shelving, labels, etc. we’ll need - which increases the overall cost - for both products and service time.

  • Congratulations! At this stage, we’ve established a personalized organizational system that works for you.

    This system will require consistent tidying, shifting shopping habits, and on-going mini-edits to maintain an organized space.

    I’d love to continue this work with you through weekly, monthly, seasonal, or annual maintenance sessions - just let me know what works best for you!

    Decluttering & Organizing Assistance

    I just finished another super helpful session with Alison Celmer of WhiteSpace Design Co. It has been such a pleasure to work with Alison. She has helped me declutter and optimize my kitchen, laundry and pantry storage spaces and now we just tackled the garage. All of Alison's work has been tailored to my needs and those of my child and pets. She has great suggestions on how to sustainably dispose of items I want to get rid of and she is super efficient with her time. I noticed I have had better habits about organizing and tidying since starting to work with her. Can't wait to take on the basement with her this fall!

    Design, Styling, & Project Management Services

    We recently hired Alison of WhiteSpace Design Co. to help furnish our new town home. It was our first ever initiative to hire somebody to help us with this kind of an effort. And we are so glad we did. Alison is an amazing human; she exudes all the traits needed to create a phenomenal customer experience. Caring, curious, creative, responsive and meticulous. With her can-do attitude and willingness to dive-in, we were so relaxed throughout the whole project. She was always on top of things, coordinating, facilitating and looking out for our best interests. When things didn’t go right, she fixed it! When things didn’t look right, she spoke up. We feel blessed that we were able to connect with Alison. It was a rewarding experience to team up with her and get our house furnished to become our home.

    Reclaiming Space for Self

    I originally hired Alison to help me clear out clutter after my husband passed. I ended up keeping her on to help me redesign and re-decorate my entire house.
    She works tirelessly, has an educated creative, and discerning eye, and is a joy to work with. I highly recommend her for projects big and small.

    Shifting Shopping Habits

    I had been looking for a person to help me go thur my one bedroom apartment, my mother suggested that I check out National Association of Productivity and Organizing (NAPO), I did find Alison Celmer from WhiteS-ace Design Co. I been working together with Alison for about two months and couldn’t be any more happier and relieved that I am getting rid of so much of my belongings that I have had for 23 years or more. Alison goes at my speed and suggested things in a way that I can come to my own decision. To few good in keeping what I need and donating or selling things I can get rid of. Also throwing out a lot of trash. I am truly grateful that Alison and my paths have cross. If you’re looking for a good organizer, look no further than Alison.

    Saving Money on Extra Storage

    WhiteSpace Design Co is amazing, and Alison deserves all the credit. She helped me organize a big move from New York to Vermont, and she made the entire process so much easier. She stayed patient, thoughtful, and focused the whole time, which took a huge weight off my shoulders.

    She also helped me go through my storage unit and sort everything out. Thanks to her, I was able to condense my belongings enough that I no longer need a $100 per month storage unit. That alone feels like a small miracle.

    Alison is professional, kind, and incredibly good at what she does. I am genuinely grateful for her help, and I would recommend WhiteSpace Design Co to anyone who wants a smooth and stress free experience. Five stars without question.

    Moving & Organizing Services

    Alison has expertly organized and designed my living spaces, creating efficient and clutter-free environments that suit my family’s needs on numerous occasions. Most recently, she helped facilitate my move from an apartment to a new house. In just 3 days, Alison efficiently helped me dispose of unused items and identified strategic places for everything in my new home. She offered valuable decorating advice, provided all the necessary organizational containers and supplies, and managed to significantly reduce all my unused kitchen items! Every time I work with Alison, she knows exactly how to jump in and tackle whatever mess that has been overwhelming me. She is very efficient, considerate, and respectful of my preferences and personal style. Alison’s contributions made the transition to my new home seamless and effortless; I would not have been able to accomplish everything without her! She was able to find a perfect place for everything to go, ensuring that my messy boys always have designated spots to store their toys and clothes, helping me to maintain a clean and organized house. Visitors frequently comment on the cleanliness and organization of our new home, which is entirely attributable to Alison’s efforts.
