We are humbled and overjoyed by the work that we’ve been able to do over the past 7 years. It really doesn’t get old - the honor of entering a client’s home, to face whatever is weighing them down and and guiding them to reclaim their home (whether it be an organizing project, or preparing for a move, or handling an estate transition).
This week, Taryn stopped by one of our favorite local shops to get the scoop on their holiday collection. Jenny and her team at the Back Porch Mercantile have created an intentional and magical winter wonderland in the shop. The classic sentiment, “I’ll be home for Christmas” has never been more true. With less events and travel this year, people are focusing on creating a cozy and intentional place for family in their own homes.
I was so excited when I heard that Knoxville has a new second hand outdoor gear shop! Outdoor Gear Revival is in Bearden in an unassuming shopping center near Sonic. How had I passed this countless times without knowing it was there? This kind of shop was one of my favorite places to visit when I lived briefly in Asheville, and when I worked for two summers in Vermont leading crews of young people building hiking and mountain biking trails.

Many of our clients, friends and followers have reached out with questions about where to donate or get rid of household items they are ready to purge.
