It is as though she was my alter ego for a day but with the talent and skill I do not possess! Every detail was a thoughtful choice and I now know that in the future I will no longer be bogged down with time-consuming and frustrating searches. Your professionalism, design knowledge, and love of orderly spaces are clearly the foundation for her approach to organizing - I will be so pleased to hire her again and to recommend her to all the friends who will drool over my wonderfully optimized pantry. **★★★★★ — Jacalyn Barnett, March 2017** > After having suffered a tremendous flood in our apartment last year and, as a result, being relocated for months, we had gratefully moved back home entrenched in a sea of boxes eager for normalcy to be restored. While I was able to empty the boxes and form a semblance of structure, Juliette fortunately came into our lives at that very moment and after a mere one hour consultation, she understood, without explanation from us, what was needed to be done for our family to create calm out of clutter, to maximize the space that we had, to feature the items that we treasured, to help us let go of what we did not need and to make the systems in our home easy to maintain. She downsized things in a way that made everything feel more spacious and light. Her restructuring of the storage bin was the final touch that still mystifies me. Our whole family is eternally grateful - including our dogs, whom she befriended and recognized as sacred members of our family, who deserved recognition for their space and things so we could more easily care for them. As a result of her efforts and vision, our apartment is not just a home, it is a sanctuary of structure, beauty and labels! You will never regret hiring her! **★★★★★ — Brent O'Leary, Feb. 2017** > Juliette did an amazing job re-designing my apartment. She listened and understood the vision I had an implemented that well within the space confines. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Sem Chi, Feb. 2017** > My significant other and I moved in together - with a lot of stuff and very different styles. We couldn't agree on how to style our home... so I enlisted Juliette's help. I was very nervous about hiring a interior designer/stylist... I thought it would become expensive and that I would be pushed to purchase expensive furniture, etc... I was wrong to be so nervous. Juliette is PHENOMENAL! She was focused on staying within our budget and making sure our personality and style was reflected in our space -- and that our home fit our lifestyle. She worked to use and re-purpose the furniture and art that we had and identified new pieces to fill our home. She provided items at different price points and once we received the items - styled our home. She creatively found ways design areas for us -- created a wine nook, created a home office area - and figured out how to create a multi-purpose desk, storage area that was chic. Juliette is also an organizer - she not only designed and styled every room in our home -- she also organized our home (every closet, files, kitchen, etc.). I have stayed in touch with Juliette and she provides quick feedback/ideas on design. I forward to Juliette coming back to do a refresh - she was a pleasure to work with, truly a lovely person and great style. **★★★★★ — Jane Ducey, Feb. 2017** > Juliette is an enthusiastic and talented professional who enjoys transforming spaces into the ones aspired to. She brings a wide perspective of style and color to her projects, and as a pro, can pull from many sources to suggest solutions for a space. I am gathering loved items for presentation in a newly acquired 1750s home, and eagerly look forward to when her special talent will bring it all together.. I'll update with pictures after she transforms it. **★★★★★ — Linda Ryder, Feb. 2017** > I can't say enough how much I enjoyed working with Juliette. She helped me organize my home after my family moved apartments in NYC. Juliette is thorough, thoughtful, organized, communicative, and a diligent worker. I will hire her again anytime I need some organizing. She is also an absolutely delightful person, and a pleasure to have in the home. I highly recommend you give her a try! **★★★★★ — nicoletiberia, July 2016** > Juliette has an incredible eye, super professional and resourceful. I couldn't afford to replace the floors in my kitchen and she helped me find the perfect countertops and back splash to make the space look modern and fresh. I no longer approach a home project without working with her! **★★★★★ — rharperardrey, March 2016** > Juliette is the consummate professional. She is incredibly hard working and her work ethic, and enthusiasm, is infectious. The systems she designs help keep us better organized, and looking great. She has a fabulous eye. We've been working with her over seven years and 5 homes. She is amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough. **★★★★★ — tanyasofer1, March 2016** > She has amazing vision and puts everything together very tastefully. Superb organizational skills. She really listens and helps make decisions. Very resourceful. Can put together rooms beautifully with any budget. Very easy to get along with. Now when I start my sentence with "Juliette recommended ....", everyone listens. We fully trust her. **★★★★★ — Marissa Kornblau, March 2016** > I highly recommend Juliette. She has a great vision and is able to expertly pick out items that she knows will bring a room together. We were thrilled with the upgrades she made to our apartment. Not only is she an excellent designer but she is also an extraordinary organizer. I used her for both design and organization and she greatly exceeded my expectations. On top of it all she is so nice and great to get to know. **★★★★★ — sheila\_tendy, March 2016** > Juliette is creative, organized and efficient. She listens to what you want and makes targeted recommendations within budget. She has a wonderful eye for design detail and loves to repurpose forgotten items you may have around the house to give them new life. A few days using Juliette's design and organization services is better than therapy! **★★★★★ — Jessica Marcano, March 2016** > There are not enough stars on this rating to rate Juliet. She is extremely talented at organization. I hired her 3 times and every time my place looked great! Juliet is a blessing to work with, I wish her the best in her career and a congratulations to her next client because they have selected the best! ## Selected projects - [NYC Organization](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nyc-organization-pj-vj~2786489) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Nursery's](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nursery-s-pj-vj~729699) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Upper East side soothing Glamour](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-soothing-glamour-pj-vj~1623558) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Mini Manhattan playroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mini-manhattan-playroom-pj-vj~1623547) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Dining room Wall Tile Instillation/full kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-room-wall-tile-instillation-full-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~327047) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [lavender styles](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lavender-styles-pj-vj~1344462) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Stylish Moments](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stylish-moments-pj-vj~729461) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Miss Independent- A ladies place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miss-independent-a-ladies-place-pj-vj~965071) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [little boys room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/little-boys-room-pj-vj~903198) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Kids Wall Shelving Unit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kids-wall-shelving-unit-pj-vj~326904) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [DIY Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/diy-projects-pj-vj~332907) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - [Organizing Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/organizing-projects-pj-vj~327288) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - Description: Unpacks, closet organization, and storage solutions - [Girls Pink Pop Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/girls-pink-pop-room-pj-vj~327216) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Manhattan Loft Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manhattan-loft-living-room-pj-vj~327223) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Black and White Subway Tile Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-and-white-subway-tile-bathroom-pj-vj~327007) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/professional-organizer/minimax-pfvwus-pf~1099008887) ## Community Q&A **Q: What size subway tile has been used?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: So Sorry Jim, I was away. They are regular subway tile size-2x4'' **Q: What brand and color of grout is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am finding that advertised black grout does not come out black or close to it. This is the color grout I wants as shown in the photos. Any assistance in the brand/color would be very helpful! Thank You! A: If you go to a tile store they have grout colors. Home depot and Lowes don't really carry the vast array of colors. I believe this was called smoke, but I don't know the brand, my apologies for the very late response. My account never alerted me. Hope you found what you were looking for by now. **Q: Where did you get this sink?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This was a Europen sink. Truth be told it was a bit of a hassle since we had to switch out some of the plumbing. I believe it was a xor or hansgrohe. Sorry this is long over due, I was not being alerted to my messages. Hope your found something that was even better! **Q: Tile** *(in Photo Questions)* Would I be right to assume you used black grouting for the tile work? A: Leigh Im so sorry I never saw this comment till now. I used dark black grout. Yes Home depot carries it **Q: Is that shower & handheld shower all one piece?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: No its two separate pieces. Handheld and shower head, but you can buy either or in a vast array of colors-kohler! **Q: Lights** *(in Photo Questions)* These lights are amazing! Can you please share the name of the maker? Thanks! A: I am sorry I don't recall the name of the manufacturer, but I will get it to you if your still interested, I know the store I bought them in the lighting district. Let me know if you still need it. My apologies --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
