Balancing all you do in a day—family, work, friends, etc.—can be challenging, especially when life events overlap. And when they do, clutter tends to pile up, daily tasks get to be too much to handle, and spaces no longer function for your needs.

As a wife, stepmom, business owner, volunteer, and friend, I know how easy it is to put other priorities before home organizing. I’ll help you take back control of your home, free up time in your day, boost your productivity, and create calming spaces by organizing your home.

So whether you need help with decluttering, organizing, unpacking, or styling your home…I’m here for you.

Spaces

Have an area in your home that needs help, but are wondering if I work on those types of spaces? Happy to share! Here are just a few that I’ve worked on:

  • Streamlined kitchens and pantries to make meal prep easier

  • Edited and categorized items to maximize space in clothes closets, linen closets, and dresser drawers

  • Designated zones in bathrooms to make daily routines more efficient

  • Styled and organized living rooms, dining rooms, home offices, bedrooms to quiet visual clutter, create unity, and tell one’s story

  • Unpacked entire homes after remodels and moves to make the transition seamless

  • Organized entryways, mudrooms, and laundry rooms to create welcoming, efficient spaces

  • Designed crafting areas, gift wrapping stations, and hobby closets to reduce frustration and foster creativity

  • Established command centers to help busy families manage schedules, school papers, and activities

  • Decluttered and organized garages, storage areas, and basements to optimize space and increase access

  • Equipped playrooms and study areas with simple storage solutions to encourage and support tidiness

  • Downsized whole homes to prepare for retirement and urban living

  • "We hired Carrie to come in and help reorganize my parents house as we were in the process of converting it to our summer home. There were several layers to the project. Organizing, deciding what to keep what to let go of, consolidating and reworking the kitchen layout, all the closets, storage area and cabinets. We did a FaceTime walk through, Carrie developed a plan and executed it flawlessly in the timeframe the plan called for. We would highly recommend The Marshall Method to anyone. Carrie’s thoughtful approach helped turn a difficult process into positive experience."

  • "If you’re looking for someone to help you with interior design, Carrie Marshall is that person. It’s hard to find someone in this area to help with interior decorating, so I was very grateful I came across Carrie. I have a difficult time picking paint colors, and it was primarily why I asked her to give me some suggestions. I also needed advice on furniture placement, window coverings, light fixtures, etc., and she helped me in those areas as well. What I like about Carrie is that she listened to me, came to understand my likes and dislikes, and incorporated them into her plans for my house. She didn’t insist on doing things her way but gently steered me in the right direction when she thought some of my ideas wouldn’t work. She was always right! I also appreciate that she worked according to my time frame and scheduled appointment times that worked for me. I know Carrie does home organization in her business as well, so if that’s your area of need she can help there, too. Rest assured she is discreet and confidential, a true professional."
