About Us
Our story begins with friendship and caring.
In January of 2018, Jennifer found herself unemployed for the first time since she was a teenager. She decided to take advantage of the time she had to reorganise her busy life and home. She started to go through her family’s household to-do list (which was years in the making) and it felt great.
After sharing her personal success with her friends, Laura and Raina, they too caught the bug! The three of us started helping one another in each other’s homes; organising, simplifying, and beautifying each other’s spaces. Then we started helping friends and family. We were hooked. We worked very well together and our skill set complimented each other. Raina has experience and an eye for design and staging. Laura is extremely efficient at organising and creating systems. Jennifer effortlessly blends artistic skills and project management knowledge.
As the summer came and went, we began to discuss the possibility of starting a business together. Here we are over two years later, offering our services to you.
Our mission is a simple one. It is to help you create a calm and welcoming home.
We look forward to working with you!
