About Us
You need the Toy Tamer if...
You love your home, but that messy playroom almost brings you to tears!
You've been cleaning up the playroom yourself - but wait, shouldn't that be the kids' job?
You finally convince the kids to clean it up, and it's a mess again the next day. Sigh.
You cringe when you hear the word "playdate".
Your kids don't spend much time in the playroom because it's such a mess, but isn't that one of the reasons you bought the house?
You're sick of doing it yourself - you just want it DONE! And you want it to STAY that way!
After we work our 1 day playroom magic, your playroom will always be neat, clean and useable - and your kids will have fun and take pride in keeping it that way, FOREVER!

We hired the Toy Tamer to help with the chaos that was our basement play area. I still don’t think I have words to describe how much we love our space now. Brings a smile to my face every time I go downstairs.
I started with a call to understand how the service worked. Evelyn then met with us in our space / met our kids and got a sense of them - and then hand sketched a plan that I got to walk through with her that day! Then we scheduled installment. The turnaround was SO fast. They arrived. Worked all day. It is hard to explain the transformation. Evelyn creates little play centers which helps for clean up and play. Our kids play with toys more - create more and they handle clean up!! We can’t recommend them enough!! Clear, thorough, and creative professionals.

Jenn, Thanks for letting us transform your basement playroom into the area it was meant to be! So glad the boys are enjoying every inch of it! I especially like the way the car zone turned out.

It has been about a month since I brought in The Toy Tamer. I can’t say enough how this changed my life. From the ease of getting toys away, getting the kids to help, and my favorite part, it’s never a mess when the kids play. No more dumping!!!
The kids love it and I feel like Mary Poppins when I hear that bell ring! Spit Spot :)

The Toy Tamer changed my life by taking my daughter’s toys from 3 floors and organizing them into one playroom! Seems so simple but it’s magical! They have since been in their new space non stop. I had twenty kids here for a birthday party the day after completion and it looked exactly the same. It’s a burden lifted. What’s more, I actually want to be in their new space and create! I used to just close the door so I didn’t have to deal with the mess. & Now this mom of two has her space back as well! No more toys everywhere. Ahhhhh! Simply amazing. I can breathe!

Comment from The Toy Tamer:
Gina - Transforming your playroom was a fun challenge that brought new things into my Toy Taming world - specifically hiding the "commode" that was in place! So happy we came up with a solution that not only hides it completely, but keeps it 100% functional too! (Hint - it's hidden behind the rainbow curtains!) Making the space perfect for your 2 adorable little girls was so rewarding! :)

It has been an transformational experience for our family! The kids feel super proud, responsible and committed towards this space. They have been absolutely loving the order and are more organized in their play as well. They now have access to all their toys and supplies without calling ‘Mom’ a million times! I’m one happy Momma! The toy taming team was exceptionally efficient and professional. They worked it all out like pros. I will recommend them to all my friends and family.

Comment from The Toy Tamer:
Roma - It was a pleasure creating a playroom in your new home! Kids really do thrive on order, so I'm happy we were able to provide it for them. And I'm glad to hear they have embraced The Toy Taming process completely and you no longer have to help them out a million times a day. Their executive functioning skills are blossoming!
I highly recommend The Toy Tamer. She did such a great job. We are thrilled with the results. Worth every penny! They are professional, clean, thoughtful, creative, practical and kid friendly!

We called the Toy Tamer after acknowledging that our basement, which serves as our playroom, was unorganized, out of control, and in need of some serious structure. Our kids weren't using it, and, when they were, they didn't know where to find toys nor did they know where to return them. Needless to say, The Toy Tamer came to the rescue. From the initial phone consultation to the in-home visit to the final product, we were blown away by the attention to detail, the personalized design, and the final product. Since the project was completed, our kids spend the majority of the day in the basement, it's remained clean (!!), and the various "areas" are growing with new holiday gifts and expectations. It's also a beautiful design, too!
We can't thank The Toy Tamer enough!

Comment from The Toy Tamer:
Thanks Andy! It was fun creating different areas for each of your children - when you have 2 boys and 1 girl, all of different ages with different interests, it makes keeping the playroom useable much more of a challenge. So glad we Tamed your Toys - once and for all!

The Toy Tamer has transformed our lives! We can now actually play! I could be happier with the final product and customer service. My children are so proud of their new space and do everything to keep it as organized as Day 1. Highly recommend this service!

Kim - so glad that Toy Taming has transformed your life! That's why I do what I do - making everyone's lives easier is what I love to do. And didn't you say that your kids would never clean up - that they were used to you doing it all? The Toy Taming Clean Up System has worked again! you were a joy to work with - and I"m so happy that you're happy!
I was lucky enough to win a consultation with Evelyn (The Toy Tamer) from a school fundraiser raffle. After a thorough review of our playroom, Evelyn went to work putting together ideas and a proposal on how to improve our kids' play space. Evelyn's focus is not just on taming the toy chaos, but on how to make the space easy, fun, and so much more accessible to kids. Our playroom transformation was awesome. Evelyn's eye for how to use the space and find a home for every single toy, game, etc., is incredible. The kids are happy to be able to see and find their toys and I am happy because the room is organized and SO MUCH easier to keep clean. I get compliments on the playroom from everyone.

Thanks Stephanie for all the kind words! Your playroom was a joy to work in - and the transformation afterwards was incredible! Glad to hear it's staying neat and organized and making your life easier - and that you get compliments!
Mrs. C is a game changer! She can take any room in your home and transform not only the room, but your life! Her organization, labeling and sorting were outstandingly helpful when trying to create a structured play area for my kids. It even helped make clean up easier for them! MUST DO!

Casey - It was a joy doing your playroom and making it so much more fun for the twins! And now that you've added a third, I'm so glad the playroom will continue to make you smile everyday. Not to mention make life so much easier!!!

We love our Toy Tamer art and playroom transformations. Mrs. C created beautiful organized rooms that the children enjoy being in and can easily maintain. We have four boys and a wide range of toys. The task was not easy but now the boys can easily find all their toys and actually play with them. All systems I tried in the past would only last a few weeks or work if I cleaned them up. Now over a year after the Toy Tamer performed her magic our rooms are just as organized as the day she left.

The Toy Tamer saved my life! I'm typically pretty organized but my situation simply got out of control. It was too overwhelming. I didn't know where to start! Evelyn changed my life. She listened to my needs and transformed a once useless room into my office/ art center! We love it! I can not say enough about her talents and professionalism. We are so happy with how the project turned out and refer her to all of our friends!

Comment from The Toy Tamer:
Allison - it was wonderful meeting your family and addressing all the challenges in your playroom and office spaces. I'm happy to hear that organizing has made such a dramatic change in your entire life. That's my goal - better life through organizing toys!
The Toy Tamer changed my life! The toys started to take over my life, slowly creeping into every room in the house...and then Evelyn came to the rescue. Now, everything has a home, an organized, identified spot and clean up has become a fun, painless and quick game with my kids! My husband and I often say that this was the best money we have spent on our home. Thank you Evelyn!!

Comment from The Toy Tamer:
Megan - I'm so glad that you're all loving your new space! Especially with a new baby in the house, getting the playroom in order might not have seemed top priority, but the time it's saved you, not to mention the stress it removed, has probably been life saving! And I bet your older daughter feels like she now has a special place just for her. Let peace and order reign!
