    Case studies detailing work completed by Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering, along with client testimonials, are provided in the following sections.

    Developed collaboratively with clients, these case studies highlight projects involving a small business, a collector, a home office, a deceased estate, & a pantry.

    The Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering Facebook & Instagram accounts feature additional projects & partnerships with various community organisations; links to both social media platforms are available at the beginning & end of this web page.

    Furthermore, reviews from previous clients can be found on the TSD Google business listing.

  • The decluttering and reorganising process begins with an initial consultation. We meet, discuss your needs, pain points, & vision for your space. This consultation takes 30-60 minutes. The outcome is an individualised plan, which includes an estimation of time required to complete work requested.

  • There is no need to do anything to prepare your home for a visit by Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering. It is recommended that you leave your home in its usual condition prior to my visit, as this allows me to accurately assess your household's priorities & identify any areas of concern.

    And please put any feelings of apprehension you may have aside as this is a non-judgemental service.

    The only request is to ensure that all pets are safely secured.

  • This depends on the service required, however, once the scope of works has been decided work can proceed without you needing to be present.

    Please be assured that none of your belongings will be recycled, donated or disposed of without your consent.

  • As Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering has a sustainability focus, where possible, storage containers you already own are used.

    There is no need to buy beforehand as we declutter first, then assess what you need. Often you already own the right container, and very often you will have multiple spare containers after the process (if you no longer want them, they will be donated on your behalf to a local charity).

    However, if extra containers are required, or you would like to refresh your look, this is done after your belongings have been sorted & decluttered.

  • Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering has a sustainability ethos. As such, part of the service provided is to remove items to be recycled or donated at the end of each session, & with your approval those goods will be donated to organisations within our community.

  • For ethical reasons an on-selling service is not provided, however, when appropriate, recommendations for local buyers within our community can be provided.

  • Yes, gift certificates are available.

    Gift certificates are a thoughtful way to help a loved one with a practical gift of time & space, with gift certificates made out to the value of your choosing.

  • Photos are be taken during the initial consultation & during works as a record to catalogue progress. Photos taken will not be used for promotional purposes without your permission.

  • No and No☺️.

    I have created an uncluttered relaxing family home that is easy to maintain as everything has a designated place. It’s a home filled with books & pictures, plants & people.

Image series of project to declutter and organise the workspace for Gabby Simmonds Jewellery. Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering. Violet Town, Yarrawonga, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Beechworth, Myrtleford, Bright, Whitfield, Mansfield, Euroa
  • I met this client in a very round-about way, but I am ever so glad I did!

    I had caught up with a friend & former colleague at the Wangaratta Small Business Forum & we had an amazing conversation catching up on all things work & family related. The following morning this friend tagged me in a Facebook post from Gabby Simmonds Jewellery, a small business owner who was feeling utterly overwhelmed with their clutter!

    I took a chance & reached out with an offer of help. No pressure, no cajoling, because that is not my style, & because for this client, I had come completely out of the unknown.

    And they said yes!

    This small business owner was going through a transition in their life, both professionally & personally, hence the urge to pull everything off the shelves & take stock!

    They made me laugh thinking the first thing we were going to do was dash out & hit the shops for lots of containers! Far from it! The first thing we did was to sit & have a conversation about their dreams for their workspace, what they love about it, & what isn’t working.

    Once work began by categorising, zoning, & assessing what should stay & what had served its purpose, the workspace was transformed. This was an emotional undertaking, as the business that the client had created & nurtured was changing, & change can be confronting. It can also be liberating, because space for new growth was created.

    Happy to report no containers were purchased; instead, many were donated because the client had an excess of storage devices, & the remainder put into service to organise their space.

    One of the most powerful statements made by my client was that I had given them permission to let go. This has stayed with me. By enabling them to let go, they have been given the space to grow.

Toasting a successful garage organising project with my client. Thoughtful Spaces Decluttering. Violet Town, Yarrawonga, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Beechworth, Myrtleford, Bright, Whitfield, Mansfield, Euroa
  • Life can get messy! My client came to me feeling overwhelmed with their garage. They had had a major lifestyle change including a move to a new home, & the garage ended up being a keep all for their vast collection of antiques, & they were at a loss on how to organise it all.

    This brief was unlike others because most everything had to be kept; the aim was to create systems that allowed easy access to all the belongings, create a workstation, & make the overall space feel welcoming because it was very dark.

    Items were categorised, furniture moved to create access & allow light into the space with large pieces, like the shell of a grandfather clock, which were no longer required, removed. The garage space was zoned, a table set-up as a workstation, & the creepy crawlies removed.

    As we worked during our final session I saw a change in my client. It was like a huge weight lifted off their shoulders, & their joy with their collection had returned.  And we celebrated! We toasted that garage with a glass of wine – we were dirty & dusty, looking our absolute glamorous best – you couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces!

  • Sometimes you need an extra pair of hands to get back on track, & for my client, they reached out as they needed help to set up their home office before the start of the academic year.

    This client, an absolutely exceptional human being, asked for help with their home office as it was no longer functioning for them due to a period of illness, & because the office had become a storage space for a former career, & belongings from family that had passed away.

    As you can imagine, this was a job filled with emotion. Letting go of belongings that identified who you used to be, & from people no longer here brings many feelings to the surface.

    The work was broken down into manageable sections over three sessions to minimise overwhelm & not tire out the client. Discarded items were removed at the end of each session & donated or recycled on my client’s behalf.

    The office was cleaned & set up ready for study. I’m happy to report they have successfully completed semester 1 are onto their 2nd semester of study!

  • Just before Christmas I was called to help the Wilkinson family with their pantry as it was no longer working for them - they were losing track of their food!

    When I got there I found a large pantry, doors wide open, full of small plastic containers holding partially used packets of food. I also saw that bread & pet food were being stored on the kitchen bench, taking up valuable real estate, as their pantry had run out of room.

    This poor pantry needed an overhaul as the family had grown from a family of five with three toddlers, to a family of five with three teenagers – one of whom has a love of baking & looks set to become a future chef.

    First port of call for the pantry was to remove expired food! They were an amazing family to work with. I had members of the Wilkinson clan stepping in to help with emptying the pantry & checking all the food to see if it had expired. Tunes were turned up & it became a game - brown rice with a 2014 expiry was the winner of oldest food found! Five giant bowls of expired food were sent to the green bin, with packaging recycled where possible.

    Everything was pulled out of the pantry – & each item was assessed. Old lunch boxes, picnic ware, cookbooks & aprons were downsized. The owner had a great collection of trays & larger plastic storage containers, as well as an un-used wine rack & a box ideal for storing bread – all of which I utilised in zoning the new pantry space.

    I hopped on a ladder and wiped down all pantry surfaces before the food was returned. Zones for baking, beverages, dinners, & pet food were set out, including a breakfast bar which separated the children’s cereals from mum’s muesli, & an area for the owner’s pretty collection of colourful gins – because why can’t a pantry be both functional & beautiful.

    My favourite moment was right at the end of the job, when the owner exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! The doors close!”

  • For those faced with emptying a deceased estate, you do not need to do this alone.

    I worked as a member of a team that included a real estate agent, maintenance person, & a professional cleaner, to assist our client to empty their family home.

    This home had sat untouched for two years, with all the belongings from their parents & their childhood inside. Our client was faced with this task on their own, as their parents, & their only sibling had all passed.

    This home had been sold & needed to be cleared for handover to the new owner. So not only was this client faced with a huge task, but there was a deadline of 3 weeks in which to complete it.

    I was brought in to act as a catalyst, & together with the client we cleared the bedrooms & kitchen. It was an emotional experience, sharing stories, as we both have siblings that passed away too soon.

    The client was a generous human being wanting most things that could be donated to go to charity. They were interested in selling a few belongings as well, so I put them touch with a contact that specialises in retro & mid-century artefacts.

    I am happy to report that working as a team this home was prepared in time for handover to the new owner.
