Organization: The Riley Group

So, funny story. I was offered the opportunity to have The Riley Group organize one of the rooms in my house. I JUMPED at the chance. I love organization. Then I had a bad week. I needed to create order from chaos in a tangible way…so I cleaned out Bonham’s closet and reorganized it. That had been the project I was going to conquer with the Riley Group. Then I decided it should be my laundry room. It is a really odd shaped room with tons of stuff in it. Cassie from The Riley Group came out for my consult. We decided that I needed to clean out the stuff I don’t use, get a sports equipment organization system and move my cleaning supplies to under the kitchen sink. Cassie found me several sports organization systems and we set a date to redo the room.

Then that system was sold out….everywhere. And I couldn’t decide on another one…then I got impatient and ended up buying a few bins…and then a bad day caused me to fully clean out that room. So in the end, having Cassie come back would be a waste of her time. I know she could help me finish the room…but my anal tendencies and my lack of patience and the overall fact that the room really wasn’t that bad to begin with….what I am trying to say is that I cant waste her time working here when I know there are closets out there that really need her! Good story huh? Yea, I know…I’m just like that. Anyway….Valerie owns my dream business. She and her team (including Cassie) create order out of chaos. They are my idols. I asked they to give me their top tips for organization. And here they are…

In addition to organizational help, Riley Group offers personal assistant services. The next “new mom/baby” gift I need to buy is going to be a few weeks of grocery buying services from Riley Group. How cool would that be? If someone would get my groceries for me I would be in heaven!

    We have The Riley Group in Tampa! I got a groupon and used them once. They did a great job, but they’re a bit pricey.

    Well, you know this is my life’s work, right? I do love working on my personal closet. Major satisfaction every time I fill a bag for Goodwill. Currently shredding files to avoid buying a second filing cabinet. I’ve officially caught this organizational bug thing. Just hope it sticks with me.
