Appleshine Lifestyle Organization

I am so glad that I found Appleshine. Amelia is a miracle worker. She helped me tackle a task that had seemed impossibly daunting with friendliness and ease. She also gave me the tools to move forward and stay organized on my own. I would definitely recommend Appleshine to anyone needing help in this area!

I recently moved in with my boyfriend and we were tasked with combining our belongings to one unified NYC apartment. Amelia arrived promptly with great ideas, an understanding of how to fill our living space, and ready to ‘get dirty’ going through our things. She left tasking us to be aware of the things that we couldn’t part with at the time and steps to maintain our newly organized space.
Amelia comes highly recommended and totally worth it!

I actually bought 3 hours with Amelia for my sister as a gift, but she didn’t end up using it, so I cashed in instead. Honestly I didn’t think I needed it, but working with Amelia was INCREDIBLY helpful. She is super sweet and really listened to what my needs were, so we were able to reorganize all of my clothing and shoe storage space. It looks and feels amazing! I cannot overstate how glad I am that I used this service. If you’re on the fence, all I can say is, DO IT. You will not regret it!

As I jokingly told Amelia after almost four hours of work, it wasn’t nearly as painful as I’d thought it would be! She made it seem so simple to say yes or no to clothes on my crowded clothes rack and in my overflowing dresser. My bedroom feels so much better after «editing» my clothes (and getting two bags’ worth ready to donate). We also worked on my kitchen, which had everything (including dog supplies) jumbled up together. After about an hour, my kitchen counter is almost bare (we kept just the essentials) and all my various dog things are on one shelf, tucked away (miracle). It’s an amazing feeling and I’ve been gushing to my friends and family about it. At the end of our session, Amelia helped me create a short to-​do list to help finalize my organizing. Well worth the money and time!

Amelia came and changed my entire outlook on what it takes to live an organized life. She is undoubtedly a very skilled professional organizer with a pleasant demeanor that makes parting with clothes and shoes bearable. When Amelia laid out the contents of my closet and drawer and started the process of editing, it was nothing short of heart surgery. The end result is that I now have a fantastically clean and organized home. I learned valuable lessons and gained tools to live an organized life. After two sessions, I cannot emphasize the difference I see in my closets and dressers. I highly recommend Amelia and Appleshine to tackle any clutter that is paralyzing or holding you back from organized living.

Amelia with Appleshine was awesome. I had her come to my apartment some months ago to help de-​clutter and organize a one room apartment. It was interesting that our three sessions felt like therapy. She gave me helpful tools on how to let go of items. Which made traveling to another state to sell my house and its belongings much easier. I wish I could of brought her with me and actually thought of her often. I recommend Amelia to people who say that need help getting organized. I feel much happier and less stress living in my apartment now. Amelia provides a service that still gives to the client long after she leaves.

Amelia was wonderful at helping me organize my kids’ toys!

Appleshine is a dream! My kids rooms seemed to be breeding Legos. Working quickly and efficiently Amelia got it all organized. Like a surgeon she cuts right through the clutter. She also created a wonderfully organized pantry/​system that works for our whole family. And took a desk that had been neglected for years and made it a useful workable space. Beyond that she’s just a joy to have around. Smart, energetic and talented!

Amelia came to my house to help me organize my closets and get an organizational system in place after my closet space was cut in half in my new apartment. She did an excellent job both during the phone consultation in house. She was thoughtful but very efficient with great ideas and suggestions. I now have a good organizational system in place and she made great use of the space I have. I have had organizational help before that was very slow and tedious but Amelia was the opposite, she did a great job. Highly recommend!

Amelia is very sweet and will help you organize your apt! In just two hours, we were able to edit my office space by half. I feel a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and feel more focused! Highly recommend.

Amelia was excellent to work with. She helped me organize my clothes, shoes and even my linen closet in a way that makes everything very accessible and convenient to find. She helped me organize things in a way that makes sense instead of just sticking stuff where there is space. My clothes look beautiful, the space feels open and I was even able to donate three bags of clothes to good will. It was a fantastic experience!

Appleshine and Amelia were fantastic. We accomplished a ton in four hours, due to Amelia’s talent, her in person consultation before our session, and subsequent suggestions. We created a home office nook; revamped my walk in closet; cleared a kitchen cabinet; repacked my basement storage boxes with summer clothes; she did research ahead of time for organizational tools that I purchased (all very reasonably priced and easy to get); she guided me through the process; helped point out opportunities for efficiency. All in all, it was it easy and comfortable to work with Amelia/​Appleshine! She would be a great resource whether you’ve just moved to NYC, or are looking to make your existing place more zen and functional. She has great ideas for multiple areas (bedroom closet, kitchen and home office areas, etc.)

I can’t write enough positive things about Amelia and Appleshine. I have a great apartment, but after five years of living in it as a single guy with a lot of stuff, I felt like it was suffering from all its clutter. Guests thought it was clean, but I knew that in each drawer and closet lurked an overstuffed mess.
I found Amelia on the web and brought her in for one project, to clean my closets. She did such a terrific job that the next thing I knew I had her in to do my kitchen, my dresser, my file cabinets and my bookshelves. After a few sessions with Appleshine, my apartment was better than it was when I first moved in. The clutter was gone and the space was beautiful.
Perhaps most importantly, Amelia is a delight. This work is personal and I needed someone I could trust, someone who was direct and someone who was pleasant and fun to work with. Amelia was all of that and more.
I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks Amelia. You changed my life.

I’ve always been a notoriously cluttered person. Maybe my mom didn’t make me clean my room enough. Maybe it’s genetics. Regardless of the reason why, I constantly found myself stepping over my stuff, and never being able to find what I needed. When I moved into my very first apartment by myself, I was worried that my clutter would take over without another person to be accountable towards. Then Amelia saved the day!
Amelia is a pleasure to spend time with while organizing. She’s sweet and encouraging, and has great ideas. It’s been a few weeks since she came over and worked her magic on my studio, and I took what I learned from her and even applied it to other rooms. I can’t wait to show her how organized my bathroom is! She is less of a person who will come in and clean stuff for you, and more of a person who teaches valuable lifelong habits. I feel like I am cured of my clutter problem! I keep my place clean, I have routines and I have a place for everything.
On top of everything else, Appleshine truly is the best bargain in NYC professional organizing. You get a lot of bang for your buck. I can’t recommend Appleshine enough.

I’m so happy that I hired Appleshine and I can’t believe I waited so long to do it because it was definitely the best money I’ve spent in a long time. Amelia is super easy to work with and very calming, which goes a long way. Plus, she encouraged me a lot which I SO needed! We had a helpful telephone consultation a few days prior to our appointment which was useful because she gave me a list of things to have on hand– like file folders, etc. My appointment was 3 hours long and I can’t believe how much paperwork we got through! I think we filled 4 bags of garbage, 2 bags for shredding, and emptied out several baskets that had been full of papers that I accumulated over a period of several years. I’m so grateful for Amelia’s help and I can’t wait to have her back here for another appointment. Definitely worth it!

I spent days «packing» my apartment with little success. Appleshine came in and reorganized, packed and labeled my entire apartment in just a few hours. Amelia is amazing and great to work with. I am a return customer and will definitely call Appleshine again in the future.

«I’ve been working with Appleshine for the last few years. Before I used Appleshine, my closet was overwhelming– getting dressed in the morning was a stressful task. After I hired Appleshine, my morning routine became much more manageable. Amelia taught me to keep my closet in check. She even came back from time to time for maintenance. And after recently moving into my new home, I immediately called Appleshine to help organize my new kitchen. I highly recommend Appleshine’s services.»

So happy I tried Appleshine. Amelia is amazing. She is efficient, organized, and best of all patient.
My apartment was weighing me down. Although I have a good sized space for Manhattan standards it felt like I was living in a closet. There was so much stuff and all of it seemed relevant. I thought I needed everything.
Not only did Amelia get me to pare down but found a place for everything that remained. Now my home feels as it should; large and airy.
I can proudly invite my friends over and feel good about my space.
Thanks Amelia!

I come from a family of packrats, so «clutter» is in my genes. When Amelia arrived to give me a consultation she explained to me that she was going to «Appleshine» my space. Apparently «Appleshine» is a verb. Amelia worked closely with me to analyze all of my «stuff» and my living areas. Before I knew it my closets, office and bedroom were completely transformed. I was most impressed by the ideas that she had, and how oblivious I was to my inefficient use of storage and space. Along the way Amelia gave me tips to help me stay organized and maintain a clutter free space. The final products were living spaces that are brighter, more organized and much healthier spaces to occupy. I can’t wait to Appleshine my next challenge, my mother’s attic!
