Michelle and Spruce helped make our new Park City home look beautiful. > We thank you. **★★★★★ — HU-635015446, Nov. 2020** > Michelle and her team are rock stars. Last summer they managed my move from the house where I'd raised my family to a small condo. They helped me purge, sort, and sell my belongings. Then they packed it all up, sent it to several destinations, and unpacked it. They developed a timeline, kept me on task, put up with my family working from home, all with a smile on their faces. Their Rolodex of movers and handymen is amazing. I can't recommend Spruce enough. They will manage my next move and then I promise to stay put. **★★★★★ — Jill Koziol, Nov. 2020** > Michelle and her team were fabulous! They helped me unpack and organize from a move and came back later to ensure everything was working for me. I highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Matt Mullin, Nov. 2019** > Spruce Organizing has helped us with two complete moves and various organizing over 5+ years. I have recommended their services to anyone in need and having just competed a complete move of our whole family in a flawless and timely manner I will continue recommending them! **★★★★★ — HU-507949239, Nov. 2019** > Michelle at Spruce Organizing was efficient, tasteful, respectful of my budget and a joy to work with. As I was not on-site for the decorating or installation of my condo furniture and items her orchestration and competency were absolutely crucial. Thank you, Michelle for a job well-done! **★★★★★ — Beth Bradford, Dec. 2018** > Michele is the ultimate professional, organizer extraordinaire and therapist!!!!! > Michele has a gentle way of pushing you to get rid of unwanted goods, while supporting your decision to keep things (you should probably discard!) and paving the way to a more organized life! Michele goes above and beyond organization, as she helps to arrange appointments with the necessary providers to get your house, garage, barn, storage shed into tip top shape! > I don't think I can live without her!!! **★★★★★ — cindygatewood, March 2018** > Trying to get a newly purchased second home organized from long distance is not easy, unless you hire Spruce Organizing. Michelle was the perfect solution and she went above and beyond. She kept me informed, made excellent suggestions, and gave me an end result that felt like home the minute I walked in . > Couldn’t give her higher marks ! Outstanding! **★★★★★ — Mick Savage, March 2018** > I have relied on Spruce for several projects over several years. Michelle has my strongest recommendation. Projects ranged from $2000 to over $100,000 and lasted from a week to several months. **★★★★★ — Sheila Ochowicz, Nov. 2016** > I don't know what I would have done without Spruce Organizing. > Thanks to Michelle (et. al ) I got off to a super start in my new home. It even inspired my husband to be more organized! I'd still be unpacking boxes if I didn't have the help of Spruce Organizing. The service they provide would be excellent for those, who have been in there house for years and not opened boxes from their previous move. She got me to open and deal with boxes I hadn't opened in 15 years! **★★★★★ — Ron Jackenthal, Nov. 2016** > I Hired Spruce Organizing to give my home a make over and get my family more organized. I wanted to simplify my life, reduce clutter and have a more peaceful and productive home. Michelle and her team were incredible. Actually, they were amazing! We met on goals and strategy and I then let them run with the project. By there end of the week we had purged 7 rooms, a two car garage and had 20 items including furniture, sold listed or donated. > > Thanks for helping me get my life back! I love my new clutter free and organized way of being. **★★★★★ — alditty, Nov. 2016** > Michelle was amazing! She helped us go through every single room in our rental house of 6 years., and make piles of what to keep, donate, and sell. She shopped for things we needed with and without my help, and COMPLETELY moved and organized us in our new home. > I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Michelle and Spruce Organizing. Our move was so much easier and more pleasant with all of her help. > I highly recommend Spruce Organizing for home organization projects, big or small, and for tackling a giant move! Thank you Spruce Organizing! **★★★★★ — lisa, March 2016** > Michelle is amazing, professional and keeps me on track when we meet. has a pragmatic approach to all projects and when she leaves i feel a sense of both accomplishment and peace of mind. the clutter is cleared up the room is tidy and i feel less stressed both when i know she is coming to help and when we have completed our meeting. ## Selected projects - [Estate Management and Personal Assistant Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/estate-management-and-personal-assistant-work-pj-vj~425672) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: There are several homes in town (both primary and secondary residences) that Spruce services regularly with similar but still unique projects. In a nutshell, we do what our owners need. We currently handle everything from the check book for all estate expenses (including employing the Property Manager for the maintenance) to wardrobe rotation, meeting contractors and seasonal decorations. Each home and family is unique and special to us. - [Pantry Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pantry-makeover-pj-vj~421052) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: This busy professional couple just moved in their new home and threw everything food or food related into the pantry. The shelves were deep and high. So, we cleared out the non food items, sorted what was left into categories, bought some great (wipeable) bins and installed the caddy on the door for smaller items. (Always maximize your doors and walls!!) It only took a few hours and made them very happy! - [Master Closet Make-over](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-closet-make-over-pj-vj~217347) - Location: Park City, UT - Photos: 3 - Description: This busy professional was a genius at work but could not seem to complete the task of organizing her master closet. So, it was my pleasure to help her to weed out the items that she no longer loved, arrange those that remained beautifully, use a few clever products to make accessing them easier and add personal touches to the empty spaces that were not filled with clothing. - [Home Office Organization](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-office-organization-pj-vj~241317) - Location: Park City, UT - Photos: 4 - Description: This busy author and business owner needed a refreshed and organized office to work in that was warm, welcoming and free from clutter so that she could start work on her next big project. (Book \#2) We updated and improved her filing system, installed a bulletin board (Restoration Hardward) for visual inspiration and purchased matching and colorful paper products (The Container Store) to contain her most frequently used resources. - [Move in and unpack](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/move-in-and-unpack-pj-vj~217376) - Location: Park City, UT - Photos: 8 - Description: This lovely family had just purchased their new home and needed help getting unpacked quickly! I worked with the homeowner for 2 full days to sort and find the best homes for her items, hire an electrician, hire a recycling company to haul away the packing, hang their art and get the home ready so that they could enjoy the slopes immediately! - [Park City Business Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-city-business-office-pj-vj~6122386) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Office remodel. - [Park Meadows Unpack and Set-up](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-meadows-unpack-and-set-up-pj-vj~6122374) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Storage Unit Organization](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/storage-unit-organization-pj-vj~734469) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/professional-organizer/spruce-organizing-pfvwus-pf~1635842671) ## Ideabooks - [Surprising Combonations](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18961049/list/surprising-combonations) — 10 ideas - [bathroom ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4547367/list/bathroom-ideas) — 71 ideas - [Storage Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/177912011/list/storage-rooms) — 9 ideas - [linen closet](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/177911936/list/linen-closet) — 4 ideas - [Mudroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/177911736/list/mudroom) — 16 ideas - [906 Country Club Circle](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/158003451/list/906-country-club-circle) — 14 ideas - [Dream home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/47459370/list/dream-home) — 34 ideas - [spruceorganizing's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3966813/list/spruceorganizing-s-ideas) — 19 ideas - [home office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15161599/list/home-office) — 6 ideas - [yard](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29125749/list/yard) — 29 ideas - [Business Advice](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147595929/list/business-advice) — 2 ideas - [bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5545245/list/bedroom) — 10 ideas - [Play Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147092425/list/play-room) — 16 ideas - [Halloween](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/142318005/list/halloween) — 2 ideas - [Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/122985140/list/contemporary-home) — 5 ideas - [holiday](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78421844/list/holiday) — 4 ideas - [kitchen ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23196808/list/kitchen-ideas) — 33 ideas - [Moroun Master Closet](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/102295101/list/moroun-master-closet) — 13 ideas - [mud room/laundry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29663828/list/mud-room-laundry) — 5 ideas - [ski room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/83002312/list/ski-room) — 7 ideas [See all 25 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/spruceorganizing) ## Community Q&A **Q: Clutter Check!
