Review from Renee W.: "Finding Hope was so refreshing. What a hard worker she is and the ideas that she has are terrific. Until you go through everything you don't know what you have and boy did she work hard! Her husband is terrific too. I can't help but give her 5 stars, I would recommend her to everyone.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Hope was very accommodating with my bad back, since I was unable to assist her. Instead she did all of the physical work. Hope knows just where to donate different things."

Today is #WorldStatisticsDay! 🤓Did you know that getting rid of clutter in your home eliminates 40% of housework.🙆Looks like it's time to get to work! 💫

Think outside the box. 💁If you're short on space, don't feel constrained by your home's original set up. 👉Find solutions and use space that exists! 🌿Every item has a home, it's all about finding it. 🏠

Don't be one of these people. ❌It's okay to let go! 💙#QuoteoftheDay 🗯️

Here’s my “hope” sighting of the week. 🙌I’ve spent a lot of time at the home where the “hope” rock was placed but only today did it pop out for a sighting. 👀#HopeSighting 💙

I can’t tell you how many wedding dress boxes I see taking up valuable real estate in homes! 👗There are many charities to donate them to if they are 3 years old or less, otherwise most don’t want them. ❌They can also be donated to made into gowns for babies lost too soon, or to local theatre groups. 💙I too had held onto mine for 18-years❗️FINALLY this summer I had enough and wanted to practice what I preach! I put my dress in my car and dropped it off at Savers hoping that someone will find “joy” in my gown. I haven’t looked back since! ❤️

Isn't that the sad truth! 😐Say goodbye to the good deal to avoid clutter. ❌If you don't need it, don't purchase it❗️#ThinkBeforeYouBuy 👏

Part of my job often includes “finding a good home” for clients’ items they no longer need or want. 🏡This allows them to release those items knowing they won’t go to waste.🙌 Plus, they get to make someone else happy! 💙(What's better than that?)Today, over a half dozen bins of Legos are going to the East Providence after school program.✏️🍎The toys will be cleaned and given to different rooms at the school, so the kids can let their creative juices flow! ⚽️🎲🚀#Donations 💓

It's story time because crazy situations keep happening to me while on the job and I think it's time I share! 💭I took this photo while working today, it's a tennis ball that I found hidden on the top shelf of a big walk-in closet. 🎾The owner had no idea how it got there. 🙅At least 1x per week while working we find something inspirational with my name (Hope) on it while working in a clients home! 🌟People always say my name is perfect for what I do. I took this as a sign that I really do give people hope! 💫#LoveWhatYouDo 💙

I love hearing feedback like this! 💙

Hot mess 🔥to YES! 🙌All this storage space needed was a simple clean out and some organizational tools to get the space in order. ✨We visited The Container Store for storage solutions. 👍#LoveTheContainerStore 💙Our handyman ⚒️then installed a few shelves, we then sorted items into categories, placed into clear bins, labeled and put them on the shelves according to usage.👌Sometimes all it takes is a quick fix and you're ready to go! 😎

Follow these steps when prepping your home for sale! 🏡Pick one and take it all the way TO DONE. 😎 (p.s. We can help with 1-6, message us for info)
1. Begin a few months in advance to downsize your belongings in every space.
2. Box items that are remaining which aren’t needed during the selling process.
3. Label the boxes by contents and room.
4. Donate and remove all excess furniture inside and out
5. Make the home seem mostly empty so that buyers think there is plenty of space.
6. Remove all personal photos and clutter everywhere, even the closets. Rent a POD.
7. Have carpets pulled up or steam cleaned so that the space is clean and odor free.
8. The space should be cleaned professionally before photos are taken.
9. If you plan to list your home during the winter, have the outside photos taken during the spring, summer or early fall when the leaves are on the trees.

Words of Lana D: "Well, where do I begin? I met Hope and her business Affordable Organization just a little over 2 years ago. I am a realtor and also have a student service business in Providence. I am always busy and have many services and need help often. Affordable Organization has come to my rescue time and time again. Hope is a true professional. I also call upon her services for me personally. From inside my home to my garage, Hope makes it happen. I must say she is a joy to work with and has certainly put big smiles on many a face. Talented, personable and can whip any space to function like never before. There is hope with Hope. Second to NONE." ... See more
