If it’s not helping or healing,
let it go
Our memories are not in our things, our memories are in us
Have you really decluttered or just moved it around?
You are a good parent. You are entitled to bad days. You are worthy of amazing days. You are okay to ask for help. You are a good parent.
When simplifying your life, there are seasons that allow for slow, gentle change and then there are the times when you just have to let that shit go
My name is Renee Frampton and I specialize in all things simple and organized. I want to take you from stressed, overwhelmed, scattered, and burdened to peace and lightness in your home, life and office.
Services
We start with decluttering. I help you donate things you no longer use and put them in places where they WILL be used. Then we create systems together with everything left in an organized, easy way so that you are able to keep things tidy and organized after I leave.
I organize in a way that fits YOUR family’s lifestyle. Whether you live in an apartment or a 10,000 square foot home, your home should work for YOU. Not the other way around.
We should find peace and joy in our living spaces. Let’s get excited to entertain and raise our children in spaces that nurture their lives in an easy way.
Let me help you get there. With no judgement. Zero. It doesn’t matter where you are starting from. We can get you there.

My son and I had just moved “back in” to our home after 5 months of being in hotel, and everything we owned was stacked in boxes in my living room. Needless to say it was way too much for a single mom in kidney failure to even attempt to tackle. Not to mention adult ADHD, and my son has ADHD as well. The chaos made my head spin.
Renee and her “A team” as I love to call them, came in ready to work and make our lives livable again. It was a large task of divide and conquer, unpacking and moving boxes and placing furniture back where it once was.
The job exceeded my expectations and so did the way Renee and her team treated myself and my family. There was so much patience, and absolutely no judgement on the condition that the house was in. That made me feel a lot more relaxed and consumable from the beginning. They left me in control of the project, but still worked with me.
Organizing by Renee has helped our home on multiple occasions in the past year as we put everything back together and definitely purged a lot of belongings I didn’t even realize I was unintentionally holding onto. For the first time in 7 years I’m easily able to park in my garage, my closest and dressers have been sorted and organized. I feel like everything, or almost everything in my house has a home. It wouldn’t be that way without Organizing by Renee. She goes above to not only physically help get a home in order, but she helps the individual as well.
I’ve recommended her and her team on numerous occasions, and really stress how it’s worth the time and money.

When Renee and Melina arrived, they brought not just their expertise but also a sense of calm and encouragement. I was greeted with big smiles, kind eyes, and massive support and Renee asked me how I was feeling. I so appreciated that check-in. Melina has such a gentle demeanor and she immediately put me at ease. They assessed my home and quickly formulated a strategy to tackle the clutter. Their method, which involved having me actively participate in discarding unnecessary items, was empowering and effective.
Over two days, they helped me reclaim my space. The physical decluttering process mirrored a mental and emotional one, making me feel more at ease and safe in my own home. What sets Organizing by Renee apart is their ongoing support. Even after our initial sessions, Renee continues to check in, providing homework and product recommendations to help me maintain my newly organized home. This follow-through has been invaluable and truly above and beyond any expectations.
Melina’s bi-weekly laundry service has also been a game-changer. Having someone to pick up, wash, fold, and return my laundry has added a layer of convenience and relief to my life that I didn’t realize I was missing.
Renee and her team are nothing short of angels. They turned a daunting, shame-filled process into a manageable and even uplifting experience. We talked about many things during the process, things I don’t typically share with others about my past and my experiences, but Renee gives these life coach, therapist, big sis and new bestie vibes that just made it easy to unburden myself from anxiety and stress. My home feels transformed, and I feel more capable and hopeful. If you’re struggling with a cluttered home and the emotional weight that comes with it, I highly recommend Organizing by Renee. Their compassionate, professional, and comprehensive approach is truly life changing. Thank you, Renee and Melina!

The talent of the team was evident and displayed in a multitude of ways. They made everything fun and minimized any stress I had with their optimism, positive energy and reassurance. Melina and Brenda implemented systems that they said would function best for our lifestyle. Now, a few weeks later, it has been proven that these systems not only work and have been lifesavers when it comes time for a quick pick up. In less than 15 minutes my house can be restored to its organized fashion!
The functionality of my office is now much more effective with less clutter. They made sure that my everyday essentials stay easily accessible to me. One of my favorite items they recommended was a lazy-susan desk organizer that I use very frequently every single day. They took the items I use once in a blue moon, organized them and made sure I’d know where to find them if/when I need them and so they’re not taking up valuable real estate in my workspace. They provided me with a beautiful work from home office that can easily transition to function as an administrative household space. The locking filing cabinet they recommended has given me peace of mind by keeping my legal documents for work, as well as important bank and health documentation, safe and sound. Finally, they recommended a bookshelf that serves two purposes. It provides much needed storage space, and it allows me to display some of my favorite things. I refer to it as my “happy shelves.”
Renee was spot on when she said I needed some personality in my house to make it a home. I loved the creativity I was able to implement by assigning themes that make me feel good in my office and kitchen by hanging wall art and getting a colorful rug. I take so much pride in my Italian kitchen! I have been cooking more (which I thought was a lost cause!) which has made us healthier and happier. My son has been independently playing with his toys now more than ever. This is the best feeling in the world; watching him learn and play using his imagination is magical. I can tell he’s much more confident and decisive in his choices for toys and even deciding which room he wants to play in between his own and the main room! He also has space to ride his little tricycle around with the empty floors. As for me, the little (HUGE) things that I’ve done since the reorganization has been hosting girls’ night for my cousins, reading more, coloring more and inviting another mom and her kids over for a play date because I’m COMFORTABLE having people here. It’s been outstanding.
This was an investment that I made for myself and my son. Giving him a house to grow up in that is organized and clean is worth every penny. Organizing by Renee has set us up for success and our quality of life has improved immensely due to their fabulous work.

Renee and her amazing staff
Unpacked and recycled more than 400 boxes
Made good use of what we had left and recommended high quality and moderately priced replacements for everything we lost from hangers to shelving to furniture
Recommended and engaged excellent local services– handyman, electrician, major appliances, etc.
Took care of donating what was usable but no longer needed to local charities
Provided detailed daily written recaps of what was accomplished
Successfully combined two households and dealt with three of us each paying part of the cost. Imagine that!
Did all this with great care for us – and for each other. I think of them as a ‘ministry
The well-trained staff were professional, competent, hard-working, trauma-ready, incredibly organized– like a precision drill team…we were very well taken care of!
I thought I would have to be there, directing what goes where etc. but no! They were always more than a step ahead of me – and with better ideas. A real eye-opener for someone who thinks highly of herself as a really well-organized person!

First and foremost, her team is composed of absolute professionals who are passionate about what they do. Their knowledge and expertise in home organization are evident from the moment you work with them. They took the time to understand my needs, preferences, and challenges, ensuring a personalized and tailored approach to organizing my home.
The attention to detail exhibited by Renee is simply remarkable. She assessed each room, considering the available space, my existing furniture, and my specific needs. Her teams ability to optimize storage solutions and create functional and aesthetically pleasing living spaces is truly commendable.
I was impressed by the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization process. The team worked tirelessly to declutter and categorize items, finding effective storage solutions to maximize space utilization. They handled my possessions with utmost care, treating my belongings as if they were their own.
One aspect that sets Organizing By Renee apart is their commitment to sustainability. They encouraged recycling, repurposing, and donating items whenever possible, helping me reduce waste and contribute to a greener environment. Their dedication to eco-friendly practices was truly inspiring.
The results of their work exceeded my expectations. I can now easily locate items, and every room has a sense of harmony and balance. The stress and frustration of a cluttered space has vanished, replaced by a renewed sense of calm.
Beyond their remarkable skills, the team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. Their friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
I cannot recommend Organizing By Renee highly enough. Their professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are unparalleled. If you’re seeking a game-changing home organization experience, look no further than Renee. They have undoubtedly set the standard in this industry.

She was non-judgmental and she listened to me explain to her my situation. I was embarrassed I had let my house get bad, but I felt comfortable discussing the current state of my house and what I wanted done. She had me take pictures and gave me a quote to come by for a day with her associate.
The price was extremely reasonable for two people. Renee and her associate, Jessica, arrived right on time. We went through the house and got to work. I was floored at how much we got done in one day. We started with my front room. We went through the boxes and clutter and the item was either thrown out, placed for donation, or put in the room where it belonged (kitchen, office etc). Then we went to the kitchen and did the same thing including putting away the items we brought in from the first room. So on and so forth.
What I liked was that Renee was not pushy, but helped me evaluate what I needed to keep, such as, whether I really needed 10 wooden spoons in my kitchen. It was extremely helpful – I never felt pressured to get rid of something I wanted to keep. As we went through things, it was clear Renee has an eye for organization. She was able to get a system for my pots and pans which worked for me. She asks questions and pays attention.
After the first day, I felt really good! She gave me some projects to do and kept me accountable. She also did some shopping for organization items for my kitchen and bathroom. She made sure to tailor these to what my needs were and gave me some links and then brought some stuff over for my second session.
I am writing this from a clean, organized house where I can take a sigh of relief. I’m utilizing some of the tips Renee gave me to help keep things in order. Even for someone messy like me, it has been so helpful. I feel accomplished and so grateful I found Renee. She gave me the tools to keep things together and I look forward to her help in organizing future houses! She is worth every penny (and the cost is very reasonable!) If you are considering these services, I say absolutely do it! You will feel so much better and there is a great team in your corner to help you!

Renee met me to take a complete, look/tour of my home. Renee listened to my difficulties and my intended goals – short and long term. I needed help not only organizing but also putting all the pieces of furniture and decorating items into place. On the first day she transformed my first level into an entirely presentable inviting and place to entertain. All of that, while beginning the organization of my kitchen cabinets. I knew I had plenty of room but I could not maximize the space. Renee, the first day, opened spaces and made sense out of my, just short of, chaos kitchen. Renee can solve the dilemmas you are struggling with quickly while executing your personal ideas and style.

A few days later, I received an enthusiastic text to set up a consultation call. By this point, I had figured out my cat-sitting situation but knew I needed to do this for ME. Renee was so easy to talk to and incredibly nonjudgmental. She made me feel safe asking for help and like I could really tackle this thing that has caused me stress for so long. She even gave me some really great tips on the phone prior to setting up our first dates.
I was super nervous to have Renee over the first time, as I usually don’t let anyone but a select handful of humans who understand that I’m a mess into my home. She was super casual and warm and immediately put me at ease when she showed up, however. We sat down and talked about my goals, habits, and how we were going to tackle the current mess. We took things one step at a time, which kept my anxiety under control and kept me moving forward. I appreciated that Renee took things at my speed, verbally checked in, and made sure I helped make decisions about how to organize things based on what would work for my brain. It felt like I was working alongside a combo friend/therapist. We not only got things done, but we had a good time doing it!
I have never been so happy with how my home looks, and so confident that I can maintain it. I know Renee supports me and is there if I have questions or need further support. I can’t thank Renee enough, or recommend her services more highly to anyone looking for organizational help. I feel like a functional adult for the first time in my life and I am so, so happy.

I am so happy I decided to have you come organize my basement. I am amazed at how much you were able to accomplish in such a short time. Thank you for this wonderful experience! I was concerned about the cost, but it was worth every penny; some of the best money I’ve ever spent. I feel so much happier and calmer knowing this space is neat, tidy, clean and organized. It’s nice that all my valuable stuff has a space, and I can easily find anything I want. And all the stuff I didn’t need or want is GONE! I’m happy my kids have a nice space now. And I also don’t dread going to the basement to do laundry; since laundry is bad enough on its own. Thank you for working so efficiently, and finishing in less time than budgeted for. Yay, I have my basement back!
Highly recommend, don’t think twice about it, hire Renee!

I decided to hire Renee to organize my house because it was so overwhelming for me. In my initial meeting with her we talked about what I needed and she explained how she works. I was a little nervous about a stranger going through my stuff but Renee was very professional. On the last day I had a garage full of donations and she scheduled the donation pickup. It felt amazing to have all the clutter out of my house. I would definitely recommend Renee to anyone who wants/needs to get their house organized.
Thank you,
Jes

The first day Renee came in, I showed her around and she explained what we would be doing. I was nervous. Once we got started I was amazed at what we got done. It felt so good to have the basement organized and cleaned up. She came for a few days and we worked room by room and I felt very comfortable with her. There was no guilt if it was something I wanted to keep. I was able to purge out clothes and other items in the house that I really did not need.
She helped me get storage solutions and gave me advice on how to keep up with everything. She gave me options for what I thought would work best for me and my kids. It was nice to be able to pick what I thought would be best.
This is hands down one of the best things I have ever done! I feel like this is something I can keep up and not be overwhelmed. She has checked in with me and I have also sent her my accomplishments and been met with positive feedback.
If you are questioning if this is for you, then I say yes! If you are looking to feel like your house has an organizational system that reduces stress and anxiety and also work for your family, talk to Renee.

Here’s my review. “Organization has always been something I wanted in my life but didn’t know where to start. Renee was a huge help! She had fantastic tips and helped me tackle my basement that solely became a storage area for us! I feel so much less stress now that it’s organized and we can let the kids play down there!”
Thanks again!
