What do our clients think of us…

“Finding An Hour Earned was a revelation. I flat share and all of my belongings live with me and my two cats in a large but very overcrowded bedroom. As you can imagine, living this way my space is full of storage-style furniture and boxes full to bursting under the bed. Half the time I don’t know what I have hidden away and, with some hoarding tendencies, things had gotten a little out of hand. When I met Jenny, we talked about what organisational style would work best for me, and came to conclusion that I needed structure and labels to keep me organised.
We started by ruthlessly going through all of my things, discussing when I used them last, if I still used them and if I would ever use them again.
She kept me on track throughout what I found a very difficult process, especially when it came to my sentimental items. Jenny was very understanding, patient and supportive with the decisions I made, helping me understand when it was time to let some things go, and when to keep them.
Now we have finished, my space feels so much better, with labelled boxes and drawers so I know where everything is. Items that I had not touched in years have been re-homed and now I have a space that I actually want to spend time in.
Thank you Jenny, your help has made so much of a difference, I will definitely be in touch when I move!”

I worked with my client on the process of decluttering and organising her new bedroom in a shared house in London. We started by connecting via a video call so she could show me round her space and give me a better idea of where her stresses and pain points were. She’d moved into the house a couple of months earlier but an incredibly busy work life, and some travelling, had meant she still had belongings in suitcases and what she had unpacked was in bags and boxes on the floor.
I could see during her call that the room actually had great storage built in. There were two double and two single wardrobes with cupboards above, as well as two sets of shelves in alcoves on each side of the bed. The double wardrobes had space for short hanging clothes and wide pull out drawers while the single wardrobes were long hang. However, although there was a lot of hanging space there was no where convenient for folded clothes or shoes and no storage options for makeup and beauty products.
During our first session we worked predominantly on her wardrobe, separating out clothes she didn’t wear anymore to send to the charity shop and storing summer clothes and evening wear (my client is a professional singer so there was lots of that!) in convenient baskets on tall shelves. we unpacked suitcases and folded or hung all her clothes, colour coding and switching in black velvet hangers to ensure a neat and seamless approach. Since she didn’t need two
short hanging spaces we sourced a 4 cube storage system which could give us additional space for scarves, belts, gloves, hair scarves, loungewear and hoodies. Shoes were categorised and placed in the long drawers along with her gym clothes and other folded items were moved to a new chest of drawers.
I showed my client easy folding techniques to maximise space and make it easier for her to find what she was looking for
During our second session we finished some of the clothes we hadn’t got to the first time before tackling her other belongings. Her books were still in boxes from the move so these were put on shelves and we purchased a small, tiered trolley for beauty items, hair products and make-up. We sorted and discarded out of date products and categorised like with like to make it much easier to find everything and give her an understanding of where new purchases should logically live.
At the end of session two my client had a calm and organised space to live in, with a place for everything and capacity to grow if needed. Her comment…
“I honestly can’t thank you enough!! Your expertise and effort has made such a difference”
