Let’s Organize Your Home!

Create a calmer, more functional home with organizing systems designed for the way you live.

Home Organizing

How would you like to walk into a room and feel at peace?That is what we strive for you when we help organize your home. When we start working with you, we will ask you what is the one room that causes you the most angst, and often that is the one we want to get under control first. We want you to walk in and say, “I’m Home”.

Every person is different, so no two jobs are alike. We work to create systems that work specifically for you, your lifestyle and your needs.

No room or space is beyond our scope – we work from basements to the attics and everything in between.  (Although kitchens, closets and pantries are a personal favorite!)

Kitchen Organizing

Why We Love Organizing Kitchens

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home—the place where family and friends gather, meals are prepared, and memories are made. It’s a space that should feel inviting, functional, and stress-free. That’s why we’re passionate about organizing kitchens!

When you lose the clutter and get organized, you create a space that is welcoming and enjoyable to spend time in. An organized kitchen transforms cooking and cleaning into easier, more efficient tasks. Knowing exactly what you have and where it’s stored saves time and energy, letting you focus on what matters—creating delicious meals and enjoying time with loved ones.

Why We Love Using Clear Acrylic Organizers

Clear acrylic organizers are a game-changer everywhere, especially in kitchen and pantry. Here’s why:

  • Find Things Instantly: Their transparency makes it simple to see what you have at a glance, saving time and effort.
  • Stay Organized: Everything has its designated place, reducing clutter and keeping countertops and cabinets tidy.
  • Know What You Have: Clear bins make it easy to track inventory, preventing overbuying and ensuring you’ll always know when to restock.

The Joy of a Functional Kitchen

An organized kitchen isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a space that works for you. When your kitchen is well-organized, it becomes a place you love spending time in—a hub of creativity, connection, and joy.

So, let’s make your kitchen functional, beautiful, and clutter-free—a space where you and your loved ones can gather, create, and thrive!

Estate Clear-Outs

Handling an estate clear-out can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help. From uncovering sentimental treasures to managing logistics like donations, sales, and safe disposals, our team takes care of every detail. We even prepare the property for sale with cleaning, repairs, and staging. Compassionate, efficient, and professional—we make the process stress-free so you can focus on what truly matters.

Move Management

A move manager is a professional who oversees and coordinates all aspects of a relocation to make the process smoother and less stressful for individuals or families. Their role often includes a wide variety of services tailored to the specific needs of their clients. Here’s a breakdown of what a move manager typically does:

  1. Pre-Move Planning
    • Decluttering and Downsizing: Helps clients decide what to keep, donate, sell, or discard to ensure a more manageable move.
    • Preparing the Home for Listing: Works to make the property presentable for real estate agents and potential buyers, including organizing, staging, and ensuring it’s photo-ready.
  2. Coordination with Other Professionals
    • Liaises with realtors, movers, contractors, and other service providers.
    • Helps schedule services like cleaning, repairs, or staging to streamline the transition process.
  3. Packing Assistance
    • Organizes and packs belongings carefully, often categorizing items for easier unpacking at the new home.
    • Provides or arranges for packing supplies and materials.
  4. Move Day Management
    • Oversees the logistics of moving day, ensuring everything goes smoothly.
    • Coordinates with movers to ensure belongings are handled properly.
  5. Post-Move Setup
    • Unpacking and Organization: Helps unpack and set up the new home to make it functional and aesthetically pleasing from the start.
    • Space Optimization: Arranges furniture and belongings to maximize efficiency and comfort.
  6. Emotional Support and Guidance
    • Acknowledges the emotional aspect of moving, especially for clients who are downsizing or leaving a long-term residence, and provides patience and understanding throughout the process.

Move managers are especially valuable for seniors transitioning to smaller homes, assisted living facilities, or for busy families and professionals who lack the time or expertise to manage the complexities of a move. They offer a combination of project management, organizational skills, and hands-on support, making the process much less daunting.

Chronically Disorganized

Chronic disorganization is more than just a messy space—it’s a persistent struggle that impacts daily life and resists traditional organizing methods.

What is Chronic Disorganization?

✔ Persists over a long period of time
✔ Frequently undermines quality of life
✔ Recurs despite repeated self-help attempts

Chronic disorganization is often linked to brain-based challenges such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Hoarding Disorder, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and more. It can leave individuals feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and hopeless about ever achieving an organized space.

As a member of the Institute for Challenging Disorganization (ICD), POSH Organizing specializes in working with clients facing these challenges. We take a compassionate, personalized approach to create custom systems tailored to your unique way of thinking and functioning—helping you not only get organized but also maintain order in a way that truly works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Organizing

We know that inviting someone into your home—and asking for help with your belongings—can feel very personal. Whether you’re considering professional organizing, preparing for a move, downsizing, or managing an estate, you probably have questions about what to expect.

Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often.

POSH Organizing provides professional home organizing, decluttering, downsizing, Move Management, and Estate Clear-Out services in West Hartford and throughout Connecticut.

Our home organizing services include kitchens and pantries, closets, bedrooms, playrooms, home offices, basements, garages, storage spaces, and more.

We also specialize in larger life transitions. Our team can help prepare for and manage a move, right-size a home, unpack and organize a new home, or manage the many details involved in clearing an estate.

Whether you need help with one overwhelming room or an entire household, we tailor the project to your needs.

Most of our clients already know *how* to organize. The problem is finding the time, knowing where to begin, making hundreds of decisions, and staying focused when the project becomes overwhelming.

That’s where having a professional team makes a difference.

We bring structure to the process, keep the project moving, help you make decisions without judgment or pressure, and create systems based on the way you actually live.

**We organize for the client’s life—not our own.**

Absolutely not!

Please don’t organize for the organizers. We want to see the space as you normally use it. That helps us understand what’s working, what’s not working, and where the real challenges are.

And there is no need to be embarrassed by clutter. We’ve seen a lot, and we’re not there to judge you. We’re there to help.

No. **Your belongings, your decisions.**

Our job is not to walk into your home and decide what you should or shouldn’t keep. We’ll ask questions, help you think through decisions, group like items together so you can see what you have, and help you determine what makes sense for your home and your life.

Nothing leaves your home without your permission, with the exception of obvious trash and recycling handled as part of the organizing process.

We are Switzerland—neutral and judgment-free.

Getting things out of the house is an important part of the decluttering process, and we help make that easier.

Depending on the items, we can coordinate donations, auction houses, estate-sale professionals, recycling, shredding, and trusted hauling services. When appropriate, we can also help identify items that may have resale value.

Our goal is to find the most appropriate next destination for your belongings whenever possible—not simply throw everything away.

We don’t believe everything needs to be decanted into matching containers, unless that’s the look you love and a system you’ll realistically maintain. Every decision we make is based on your preferences and how you live.

If it were up to us, everything might be contained in clear acrylic bins. We love the visibility and accessibility they provide! But your kitchen isn’t our kitchen.

The goal is to create a kitchen or pantry that makes sense for you, works with the way you live, and is easy to maintain.

POSH takes a team-based, personalized approach to organizing.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems or creating beautiful spaces that become impossible to maintain once we leave. We want to understand how you think, how you use your home, what’s creating frustration, and what will realistically work for you.

POSH is led by Leslie Raycraft, a Certified Professional Organizer (CPO) with advanced education in Chronic Disorganization and experience working with clients facing ADHD, anxiety, hoarding behaviors, and other organizational challenges. Leslie’s experience and approach are reflected in the training of the POSH team and the way we work with every client.

Our approach is compassionate, confidential, practical, and always judgment-free.

Every project is different, which is why we don’t believe in giving a one-size-fits-all answer.

The amount of time depends on several factors, including the size of the space, volume of belongings, how quickly decisions are made, the scope of the project, and the number of organizers working with you.

Most of our organizing sessions are scheduled in **4-hour blocks**, and we typically work with a team of two or more organizers. A team approach allows us to accomplish significantly more during a session while keeping the process moving.

Before beginning a larger project, we’ll talk with you about the scope, your priorities, and what you’d like to accomplish so we can recommend the best approach for your situation.

Not necessarily.

There are parts of the process where we’ll need your input—particularly when decisions need to be made about personal belongings. But that doesn’t mean you have to stand beside us every minute.

Many clients work from home or take care of other responsibilities while we’re there. We can sort, categorize, organize, and complete other tasks independently, then check in with you when decisions are needed.

We’ll determine a process that keeps the project moving without making the experience exhausting for you.

Yes. Move Management and downsizing are major parts of what we do.

As a Senior & Specialty Move Manager, Leslie and the POSH team understand that moving involves much more than packing boxes. We can help you decide what is moving with you, right-size your belongings, develop a plan for the move, coordinate movers and other vendors, oversee move-day details, unpack, and organize your new home.

Whether you’re moving across town, downsizing to a smaller home, transitioning to senior living, or helping a loved one move, we can manage as much—or as little—of the process as you need.

Our goal isn’t simply to get your belongings from one house to another. We want your new home to function from the start, so you can settle in more quickly and with less stress.

An Estate Clear-Out is very different from simply emptying a house.

We carefully search and sort through the home’s contents, identifying photographs, important documents, sentimental belongings, valuables, jewelry, cash, and other items that could easily be overlooked.

We call ourselves **treasure hunters** for a reason.

Once decisions are made, we can coordinate distribution to family members, donations, auction houses, estate-sale professionals, shredding, recycling, hauling, cleaning, and other trusted resources. We can also help coordinate the work needed to prepare the property for the realtor.

**We look before we let go.**

Yes. This is an important part of our Estate Clear-Out service.

If you’re responsible for a Connecticut property but live elsewhere, POSH can be your **local eyes, ears, and hands**. We can manage the project, coordinate vendors and resources, and keep you updated without requiring you to repeatedly travel to Connecticut.

For many families, having one local point person managing the moving pieces provides tremendous relief.

Yes. POSH has specialized education and experience working with clients with ADHD, Chronic Disorganization, anxiety, hoarding behaviors, and other challenges that can make traditional organizing methods ineffective or overwhelming.

We understand that organization isn’t simply about knowing where to put things. Systems need to work with the way you process information, make decisions, and move through your daily life.

There is no judgment and no expectation that your home should function like anyone else’s.

POSH Organizing is based in West Hartford, CT and provides professional organizing, Move Management, downsizing, and Estate Clear-Out services throughout Connecticut.

If you’re unsure whether we travel to your area, give us a call. We’re happy to talk about your location and the scope of your project.

It starts with a conversation.

Contact POSH Organizing and tell us a little about what’s going on, what’s feeling overwhelming, and what you’d like help accomplishing. We’ll discuss your needs, the space or project, and how POSH can help.

From there, we’ll recommend the best next step and develop a plan for moving forward.

**Life’s transitions are hard. We make them easier.**
