ย The New & Improved Clean & Organize Office Service
We have spent about two years since the pandemic studying and observing the functionality of small businesses in the area, which leads us to redesign our Clean & Organize Office Service for Small Businesses from 200 Sq Ft to 2000 Sq Ft.ย
Some small business owners, do not have the same circumstances to hire Human Resource, Marketing, and Operations Managers to get their businesses functioning as Big businesses. There seems to be a gap between all the great services small businesses offer and the same services a big business offers.
We have uncovered the gaps . . .
There are two areas that I have noticed will set your business apart from others – big or small without a big budget. Those areas are Cleaning & Organizing I have been in offices where I know the value of the furniture and fixtures, but the office space looked cluttered and dirty.
If your business is not clean & tidy it will affect the feeling of stylish comfort and quality of business that Wow! sensation youโre trying to achieve with not only your services, but with your decor, furnishings, and design every time a customer walks through your doors.
We give small businesses big business perks!
Weโve designed the Clean & Organize Office Service to improve on 5 areas of Small Business:
GET MORE PRODUCTIVITY OUT OF YOUR STAFF
By hiring professional Cleaners & Organizers you can ensure that workplace environments (shared spaces/equipment) are properly sanitized on a regular basis. This helps stop a virus in its tracks and reduces the number of employee callouts. This alone helps the cleaning service pay for itself.
KEEP YOUR EMPLOYEES HAPPY
Improve your employees’ morale by showing them you are invested in their health & well-being. By hiring a Cleaning & Organizing service you signify to them that you are committed to clean work environments for your staff and willing to put their needs for safety above everything else.
BOOST YOUR BRAND EXPRESSION
Remember, most cleaning services focus on sanitizing surfaces, they also dispose of trash along with recycling needs, sweep, vacuum, mop, and make office spaces look as clean as possible. We provide the same services along with a company style to reflect your businessโs branding. If you are looking for the big business perks for small businesses – Weโre here to help.
SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG-TERM
A cleaning service can save you money by reducing the number of sick days that your employees take, but there are also long-term saving benefits – such as having to replace carpets, blinds, flooring, and fixtures sooner than expected if they arenโt cleaned. By investing in a regular cleaning & organizing service, you can maximize the life of your officeโs โbig ticketโ items.
INCREASE YOUR STORAGE CAPABILITIES
Tired of storing old office equipment, supplies, and cleaning supplies? With professional Cleaners & Organizers, you get the benefit of professional equipment, green supplies and without the headache of storing them. Along with assisting in keeping supply closets, coat closets, and office spaces organized to maximize every square footage of office space.
You and your employees deserve the Cleanest, most Organized, safest work environment possible,ย with the help of our Clean & Organize services, you will impress everyone who walks through your doors!

We Give Small Businesses Big Business Perks!
There has always been a push and pull between the both . . .
Minimalist design is about prioritizing the essentials. A minimalist building, object, or interior design is stripped of its core functionality.
It is realized using limited materials, neutral colors, simple forms, and avoiding excess ornamentation to achieve a pure form of elegance.
While the final expression of a minimalist design might appear effortlessly simple, as spare as a poem, and as clear as a bell, achieving this kind of powerful simplicity is anything but easy.
It takes purposeful decision-making to bring it all together.
Maximalism design is popular among younger generations, particularly millennials, who were eager to incorporate plants, mixed colors, and other accessories into their spaces.
Maximalism became a way to define an eclectic home with a chaotic array of colors, prints, objects, and textures in a single space.
Maximalism is the art of more-is-more; layered patterning, highly saturated colors, ample accessories and artwork hung “salon-style”, and a real sense of playfulness and bold gestures.
Maximalism is all about going big, or going home!
Here is a list of articles, and information about both minimalist & maximalist design:

Why disorganization cause stress

Letโs be truthful, clutter makes us feel crappy. Thatโs why, every year, after the big ball drops, oodles – oodles and oodles of us vow โthis year we will get organized,โ Fist pumps in the air, the family high-fiving each other. But, as days, weeks, and months go by and we resume our daily routines, the motivation to declutter tends to diminish. Perhaps your inner โneat freakโ merely needs the incentive to jump-start the organizing process.
Do you have too much clutter lying around? Do you have tripping hazards? such as tripping over toys in the middle of the night. Nevertheless, clutter causes many internal problems which โ although less obvious than the Lego maze spread across your family room floor โ are quite impactful on your life.
Putting in the effort of getting organized, especially if this organization extends to multiple areas of your life, can help reduce stress and anxiety levels long term by requiring less last-minute scrambling in a variety of directions in everyday situations. It can also feel empowering, so you can experience new situations as “exciting” rather than “stressful.โ
*Boost your energy and productivity
*Reduce stress & anxiety
*Sleep better
*Lose weight
*Improve your financial health
Clutter happens to all of us at one time or another and regaining control over the chaos can be challenging. Fortunately, science has shown getting organized has so many health benefits. Making small changes and successive improvements in one area can lead to positive effects in other areas. For example, less stress means a better nightโs sleep. This just might be the motivation you need to kick your organizing goals into high gear.
Check out the three Organize & Coach Packages that are available now.
Make 2023 the year you get yourself organized.
The 3 Organize & Coach Packages:
I have focused my organize + coachwork on busy professionals that have struggled with chronic disorganization throughout their whole life. My clients and I work together to understand their challenges and to identify, and strategize along with learning new skills and habits.
A 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hour Walk & Talk Strategy Session will provide clarity and a written step-by-step strategy for getting organized. We begin with an interview and an examination of the spaces of concern, then continue with an evaluation of various organizing options and product recommendations (if needed). I can provide a sketch of the future layout as part of this package and would also be pleased to advise you on how to work with an assistant or temporary help in order to achieve your organizing goals.
I’ll sort through the clutter, create simple systems designed to your style and specifications, and replace the chaos with a pleasing functional, clean & tidy space.
In-home organizing tailored to fit your lifestyle and design style. For help making all spacesโincluding walk-in closets, home offices, pantries, playrooms, and everything in betweenโfunctional and stylish.
Expert guidance via videos & guidebooks. Follow a personalized plan and shopping list that fits your budget and design aesthetic. LBD prefers placement over purchase to style the space, we will have you shop your home before sending you off to the stores. You will then put it into action with one-on-one organizing support in real-time. You will receive a written action plan within the personalized guidebooks for your organizational needs.
Customized Review of planned closet systems and/or built-in kitchen, bath, or garage cabinets. So you can be sure your newly built or remodeled storage spaces will be well organized for your lifestyle, and that the storage fits the purpose of the space.

Here’s how a Home Stager can get the premium price from a sale
Stagers are professionals who work with real estate agents to help them sell homes by enhancing interiors for the best possible presentation. Realtors know that selling is more effective, and perceived values increase when prospective customers walk through rooms that are beautifully designed and decorated. This is where the stager can be an essential partner to the agent and the seller.
We partner with real estate agents and Property Managers like yourself in order to market your listings to their best capacity. Partnering with a professional home stager & Redesigner adds credibility to your business, tremendous value to your listing package, and ultimately results in faster, more profitable home sales. Certified Home Stagers are specially trained to work with agents to quickly transform the inside of the home so that the traffic that the agent drives to the home will result in multiple offers.
How do they do this? We use an 8-step “FEEL HOME EMOTIONS” mission in each room of the home that serves to engage your clients (the home seller) in the process while ensuring that every detail is dealt with in the transformation of the home.
Here are the three easy steps to ensure a SOLD home:
1. Before listing the home, have a Home Stager come to the home and develop a plan for staging the home that focuses on quick transformations, return on investment and works within the client’s budget. Even if you’re a DIYer, we can create a WALK & TALK action plan for you to reference.
2. Working with the home seller, the Home Stager makes only those changes that will reap a large return on dollars spent AND will speak to home buyers’ emotions.
3. Once staged, the home is photo ready! Since 95% of home buyers are using the Internet to determine whether to visit the home, photos of professionally staged rooms will set the listing apart from the rest.
Staging of Owner-Occupied Homes for Sale – We offer a variety of services for occupied homes including in-home consultation, a DIY Walk & Talk action plan, art and accessory packages, and staging only a particular room to showcase its function. Occupied staging focuses on decluttering and furniture placement over purchase to make your home market & photo ready.
Staging of Vacant Homes for Sale – We walk every property before providing a bid so we can create a customized design plan that positions the home to sell fast, with the most abundant amount. Our bid is a fixed, flat fee – no monthly fees, no ongoing fees, no design fees, no delivery fees โฆ NO Surprises! The rental fees are based on the number of rooms or square footage of the home.
Interior Redesign – Lifestyle by Design can provide options and ideas for “refreshing” your home’s decor as well as providing assistance with shopping (which is primary in-home shopping) and setup. Services and products can be customized to fit the homeowner’s budget. This service works well if you have an upcoming personal or business event that youโll have within your home, great way to showcase your sanctuary.
Holiday and Event Staging – Whether you’re planning an event at your home or office and need assistance decorating for the holidays, Lifestyle by Design can provide options and ideas to give your space that perfect look to enhance that special occasion. Services and products can be customized to fit the homeowner/clientโs budget.
Itโs human nature to be attracted to pretty things and staged homes are much prettier than unstaged or badly staged homes. Staging relieves your client of stress and pressure and worries if their home looks good enough for buyers to pay the highest price.
Professional staging will encourage the buyer to form an โemotional linkโ with the house and itโs that connection that leads them to buy the home. When our home was on the market I put out pamphlets of information about the local schools, local farmer markets, local wineries & Music – this way it makes them a part of home & community. Itโs an idea I took from going up military, for each new deployment we would have a welcome kit waiting for us with all the information we needed to engage with our new community.
Remember staging is an investment, not an expense. You are investing in a proven method for appealing to the greatest number of potential buyers willing to pay the highest price. Remember earlier when I said we had our home on the market – it was on the market for 1 day, our home was a 30-year-old home with some aging, and it was bought within 4 hours. I asked our realtor what was her response to your survey question, and he said as she walked around she felt she had found โHomeโ.
