What to Expect

We get to work right away.

You’re ready for change, and we’re here to make it happen. During the first five minutes of your first organizing session, we’ll get right to work sorting and editing your belongings.

You are a critical part of the organizing process.

We build your organized home around you, so we need you there to make every important decision. We’ll ask you a lot of questions and use your answers to create organizing systems.

Your team is dedicated to you.

Every team member is an employee of LMW Edits, personally trained and supervised by founder Lucy Milligan Wahl. Unlike many other professional organizing companies, we do not use independent contractors. We believe this strategy protects your privacy and enhances the quality of our work.

We address stuff first, storage second.

We can’t talk about how to store stuff until we’ve figured out the stuff being stored and how it needs to work for you. So we likely won’t discuss build outs or containers during your first organizing session.

Real change takes time.

If you’re looking for a transformation done while you’re out of the house for the day, the LMW Edits process may not be a good fit. But if you want to create an organized home that truly works for the long term? That’s our specialty. It may take longer, but it will be so worth the wait!
