## About

### Houzz Badges

- Recommended on Houzz

I have always loved organizing. Whether it’s creating a new filing system, arranging pictures into our yearly photo book, populating a new calendar with dates, sorting out a junk drawer, bringing order to that closet, kitchen, bookshelf, craft room, garage or children’s room, managing a household move or settling into the new home, I love it all!

I have also always loved people. I thoroughly enjoy meeting and getting to know people from many different cultures and walks of life, hearing their stories, ambitions, struggles and dreams. And anyone who knows me will tell you I love a good laugh!

 I bring my love of organizing and people to Top-Shelf Organizing. I look forward to working with you in a friendly, judgment-free environment to help you meet your dreams of a well-ordered space that simplifies your life and saves you time (and often money!). Bring me your clutter and in its place I will give you back order and clarity!

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Janet Williams Hepler, Nov. 2025**

> Louise helped me transform my office into a place I like to work. The space is much lighter and more usable. I found her to be easy to work with and so encouraging. Filing usually takes the wind out of my sails, but she helped me process with ease. My dogs adore her too.

**★★★★★ — stellagrrl85, May 2025**

> Louise is truly a GIFT! She is compassionate, kind, easy to work with, efficient, encouraging, FUN & a great communicator! She gives tons of great helpful suggestions & ideas. I hired her for the ENTIRE house & WOW!! I was depressed, embarrassed, overwhelmed & stressed out. She is a non judgmental & motivating! Saved my sanity! My place looks Beautiful!!! I am so elated & proud! Trust me: Louise is the BEST Investment you can do for yourself! What are you waiting for? Love Her!!

**★★★★★ — barronma, April 2025**

> Louise is a real find. She is exactly what I needed to tackle a 30-year, disorganized pile-up of random stuff in my 3-car garage. She is professional and friendly. While she gets things done quickly, she doesn’t make the project seemed rushed. She didn’t flinch at the mess. She is a good listener and her suggestions are quite helpful. It was a huge relief to see what we (she) accomplished together over 8 hours. I hope to have her back for other organizing and clean out projects!

**★★★★★ — Ann, Sept. 2023**

> Louise works miracles! She is personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. She guides you through the decluttering process without judgment and makes helpful suggestions. I appreciate her expertise and friendly personality. Louise was a gift to our family.

**★★★★★ — rcanate, Aug. 2023**

> Louise helped both me and my mom during our move to Seattle. We took one large house and split it into two condos and moved from out of state. Work made it hard for me to focus on unpacking and my mom is 74 and needed the organizing help. Louise was so focused and kind in response to our stress. She also donated our items to Goodwill after each session which helped so much. She is exactly the person you want to help in times of great stress to make your home a home.

**★★★★★ — Adam Kruse, Aug. 2023**

> We recently moved back to Seattle and with three small kids, we knew we would need unpacking help - otherwise we would still be unpacking in October. Louis was absolutely fantastic. In terms of booking, she was very flexible as our move-in date kept getting delayed. She communicated clearly when she would be arriving etc. She was very prompt. Most of all, she worked TIRELESSLY - helping us to get unpacked, in order, with a great attitude and spirit. We had kids running around, people working from home, other vendors showing up, etc -never flustered and never a problem for Louise. Highly recommended!

**★★★★★ — Cristin Gordon-Maclean, July 2023**

> Louise was amazing and very pleasant to work with. We hired her for 8 hours of organizing and what we achieved in our garage and basement was incredible. She almost makes culling and organizing your clutter FUN! I have since recommended her to many friends and colleagues and will definitely be calling her in the future.

**★★★★★ — Maureen Graham, July 2023**

> I had Louise help me organize my pantry and garage on two separate occasions. She was a delight to work with and has an amazing ability to get things done. A genuine task master. Would definitely hire her again.

**★★★★★ — Lori, Sept. 2022**

> Louise is absolutely amazing. She wasn’t daunted by a huge pile of boxes, some decades old, filled with a mix of worthless and priceless items. Louise was warm, engaging, and a delight to talk with as we sorted together. I stepped out to take several work calls and Louise kept organizing. She was very careful to make sure I reviewed anything that might be important. Louise got so much done! When our time was up, she took a carful of materials to Goodwill, took old pill bottles to recycle, took eyeglasses to donate, and we filled our recycling bin with unneeded papers. What a gift!

**★★★★★ — Melissa H., Sept. 2022**

> I had a great time working with Louise. She was extremely patient with me as we worked our way through two boxes that were \*very\* dense with items I wasn't sure what to do with and that I had put off dealing with for years. It took us quite some time to get through them! She didn't push me, but did gently guide me towards assessing their value to me. What I found was that after she left, I was way more able to go through items in other parts of my house and deal with them because I had a method. I also found myself more able to let things go after going through the process with her. I think it was because she didn't push me. If she had pushed it, I probably would've become more resistant. In that, Louise's wisdom shows. I highly recommend her, both from my own experiences and from my sister's experience with her.

**★★★★★ — Amy Cannan-McCarthy, Sept. 2022**

> Louise has been a fantastic resource for our family. Her insight, suggestions, and kindness have been especially important as we work to pare down years of accumulated things and organize what we keep. It is easy to feel embarrassed about some of the things that are kept for years yet serve no purpose, and with Louise there is zero shame, just gentle questions to help decide whether a given item deserves to take up space or it is time to find it a new home. My absolute favorite part is at the end of a session, she takes all the donations to drop them off or recycle. She knows where each item should go and it takes so much stress off my mind! I expected to handle the donation runs but she handles it all. I also love that she adjusts her pace and approach to what we each need.

**★★★★★ — Amanda P, Sept. 2022**

> Clutter, clutter, clutter! That used to be what my apartment looked like.  Then Louise came in and in one 8-hour session she turned my messy bedroom into a cozy and welcoming room which I enjoy walking into.  She was respectful and I never felt judged.  Instead her attitude was "let's get organized".  You can tell how much she loves doing this work and helping people get their homes organized.  She's friendly, warm and easy to work with and never pushed me to let go of items I wasn't ready to let go of. Beyond organizing my bedroom she also went through my kitchen cupboards and even though I thought they were well organized she found ways to make them even better. I love my newly rejuvenated space and I have Louise to thank.
