ShipShape

I hired ShipShape to build a new closet in my six-​year-​old daughter’s room. We removed the pre-​existing closet before moving into the apartment after we purchased it. The moment Sylvia walked into my daughter’s room, she thought of an entirely different layout, where the closet would be on the opposite side from where we thought it needed to go. It changed my whole perspective on the room and gave us a lot more flexibility. She designed the open closet to fit my daughter’s clothing, toys, and misc other items perfectly, with the knowledge that we can change around as necessary as my daughter grows. Shortly thereafter, in one day while I was at work, she and Annie installed the closet and organized/​labeled everything in it. Everything was done professionally, efficiently, and quickly. The moment my daughter walked into her room the day her closet was completed she literally jumped with joy. She was so excited about her room! And the excitement hasn’t worn off weeks later. They came back a few days after the installtion to finalize the organization and make sure it was all working for us, and even organized one of our other closets, which made a huge difference. Without hesitation, I would recommend Sylvia and Deb and Annie to anyone and everyone needing some help with organizing their lives!

Sylvia arrived on time and after introducing herself to my two cats she promptly viewed my world through fresh eye and in our lovely 3 hours together she came up with creative, affordable and most importantly «doable» solutions for my space. Living in a small old NYC apartment Sylvia was able to see options I has not over the years. Must agree with Nicole H’s review, it was not just the physical space that she got me to see differently but how to look differently (viewpoint not physical appearance) as well! I have an action plan that will remind me the path to travel to transform space to home that is so straight forward there is no reason I will not succeed! I will send pictures!
THANK YOU!

Sylvia came in and in 3 hours not only transformed my closet but changed my way of thinking! Life is simpler now that I don’t have projects piled up. It’s easier to keep up with life’s flow and I’ve found I have a lot more time in the day than I would have expected!

Annie from Shipshape came and helped me get my office area and my linen closet under control. I would never have done it without her gentle prodding, and she gave me lots of good ideas for keeping organized in the future, and easy ways to maintain the system we set up. Annie was helpful and professional, and I would absolutely recommend shipshape for any organizing challenge.

Loved them both personally and professionally!
They definitely know what they’re talking about and were considerably more useful than the girl I had previously found on Craig’s List!
I highly recommend them!

Sylvia came to meet with me for two hours and we discussed loads of aspects and options for my little NYC studio apartment. She is a delight to work with. Crystal clear and friendly— and also fully equipped with very practical ideas and suggestions. She really helped me to keep the fires blazing as I work to de-​clutter my home and my life! Thank you very much, ShipShape!

We LOVE Deb and Sylvia, our living/​working space was a hot mess!!! Calling them to help us make sense of it all was the best thing we ever did. These smart, gentle, truthful, resourceful, creative professionals worked with us to come up with a plan that never seemed overwhelming or undoable. Our home/​office is ORGANIZED! We have a system and it makes sense and we couldn’t have done it without them.
