"Being more organized has not only allowed me to find the things I need, when I need them, it also allows family members to be more independent, by not requiring me to get things for them. They also know where things need to go to be put away. With the kids (and my spouse), taking responsibility for their own belongings, that has freed me up to better organize my time, completing tasks such as budgeting, paper management, and miscellaneous tasks that require weekly action and monthly action. The greatest benefit for me to being more organized is, when I think of my to-do list, or if something needs to be added that list, I no longer feel a giant weight on my shoulders, or knots in my stomach, or dread for not being able to withstand one more thing. Finally, I don’t think I could have managed the task of organizing my life without the help of a professional. Thank you Mélanie!"

"We have been a client of Functional Spaces for over 3 years. Melanie is highly professional, skilled and her services have truly enhanced our enjoyment of our home. She has really helped us to stay organized and allow us to function optimally as a young family. She really gets the needs of professionals that need to work from home and the needs of children as well which is an amazing skill set. Melanie will make organizing your life/work fun! I highly recommend her services."

“One of the best decisions we’ve ever made! Mélanie and Heather are a duo that puts you immediately at ease, taking a stressful task and bringing it down to the most basic steps.”

"After seeing what Mélanie could do to transform my daughter’s closet, I decided to hire her as well. We live in a condo and our space is limited. I was not disappointed. My master closet as well as my front hall closet are now miraculously organized. I love them and find all the spaces very easy to maintain."

"I had tried to organize my pantry many times but, with a family of four using it daily, it never stayed that way for long. Mélanie turned my pantry of shame into a welcoming organized space. Not only did she make it presentable, she made it functional and logical in a way that makes it easy to keep organized. I can stop buying spices 3x over thinking I don’t have them in my pantry. If I can’t find them, I know they’re not there! I will be bringing her back for my walk-in closet."

"I would have said before getting help from Mélanie, that I’m a pretty organized person. Looking at my closet, it seemed quite organized to me—clothes colour coded, bags in bins, extra dresser to store workout stuff, etc, shoes in bins; however I knew I needed to pare things down a bit. I just never knew after going through the process with Melanie, how transforming it would be. The help I received from Melanie was amazing. When asking her what things to keep or donate, she was so honest, practical and real. The biggest thing was seeing everything on the hangers and how much variety of clothes still remained, once we purged. I also found some great pieces I forgot I even had. I feel like I will wear more of my clothes now! Mélanie has a natural gift of organizing. Some examples would be from her showing me how some of my organizing bin choices made the space actually look more cluttered, to her noticing one of the lights was burnt out, to placing different things in other ways to make things make more accessible and visually better. She even brought a mirror into the space and it created much more light and felt more spacious in the narrow closet that exists. Mélanie helped me organize and pare down things to four bags of donations and six bins of potential sell or donate-able items. How it all fit in my closet before baffles me!!! What a cleansing experience! My closet now seems fresh, organized, inviting and so practical! Thanks, Mélanie!"

"Mélanie is awesome! I enlisted her services to help organize my office space which was extremely cluttered and disorganized. After a couple hours the room was transformed - With Mélanie’s help I was able to de-clutter and let go of many items that had been piling up for years! Mélanie is efficient, pleasant to work with and truly wants to make the experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to make their space more functional!"

"I love Heather! She has helped me in both houses we’ve lived in and I always feel so much better afterwards. I can’t recommend her enough. Call her! You won’t regret it."

"Heather has come to my home on two separate occasions. One for the garage and one for a series of storage areas which included under the stairs and a storage room. Of course... the place is organized and we have maintained it for months and months BUT working with Heather was a dream. She was so positive and upbeat the entire time. Very thoughtful and thought of things we NEVER would have thought of. We are so grateful for Heather and what she brought to our home."

"I have worked with Heather on several projects and she has been the lead organizer on each of them. When you hire Heather your project will be filled with the right amount of enthusiasm where everyone is invigorated, but not so much where it could feel hectic. Heather has a unique way of putting everyone at ease regardless of the size or intensity of the project. She listens to clients with an open and genuine heart, which lends itself to fabulous results at the end of the day. She is professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, dedicated, and caring. There is no doubt that organizing is her passion and it comes through in everything that she does. Would I recommend her? Absolutely and in a heartbeat."

"Amazing experience! I should have done this years ago. Heather and her team were extremely helpful with sorting, organizing, purging and packing and even taking items away for donation or recycling. She made me feel calm in the whole process and wasn't judgemental at all with the state of my home. Worth every penny and I will definitely be hiring her again when it comes time to do my brother's house."

"4 years ago Heather did a fantastic job of organizing our basement storage room. She was patient and kind with us through the process, and we are so pleased with the end result. No more buying duplicates of stuff we couldn't find!"

"It was a wonderful experience. I didn’t feel my home was a home after a move anddownsizing two properties into one. I had too much stuff. I was nervous going in as I’m asuper private and introverted person. Functional Spaces makes you feel so at ease; they goat a pace that works for you. The energy is so positive and very respectful. They alwaysmake sure you are okay and not overwhelmed by offering lots of breaks. I appreciated thisapproach very much. I actually started looking forward to the sessions as we would have somuch fun together. The results are amazing and my house feels like a home finally!Everything has a place. Everything makes sense. I love my home now."

"When we hired FS to assist us in downsizing and moving to a MUCH smaller space, we didn’t quite know what to expect. But into the process we nevertheless entered, and in a sensitive, happy, upbeat, efficient, flexible, dedicated - and always on time - way, they - Mel and Heather, whose business relationship is something to behold - made it happen. We may be into Stage 2 of downsizing, because we need to do more, but without doubt, they will be at our side!"
