“Linda did an outstanding job of helping me organize my basement, kitchen and child’s room. She works quickly and efficiently. Her systems make it easy to maintain a clutter-free environment.”

M.G., Highland Park

“I can’t thank you enough for helping me get organized. You’ve made sense of all the things I was having trouble getting a handle on. Your ideas, patience and sense of humor have helped to make torturous chores tolerable. Thanks again.”

Missie Bender, Glencoe

“Linda rescued me from chaos. She helped me establish systems for efficient functioning and to maintain a comfortable level of order in my home.”

Deanne Gibbs-Brown, Libertyville

“After accumulating years of papers and receipts that I thought were ‘important’ and filing them in more than one location, I thought the job of organizing my papers would take hours and be terribly painful. Linda made the task seem almost effortless and believe it or not… FUN! She knows what she is doing, and does not waste time getting to the job at hand. I recommend Altogether Organized for anyone who knows what they need in organization, but doesn’t think they have the time or fortitude to do it alone.”

L.B., Highland Park

“It was truly a pleasure to work with Lisa. I am really enjoying my newfound, well-organized space. The best thing about organizing is freeing your mind to think of other things besides where you last saw something that you need! If I regress, I’ll be back 🙂 !”

Terri Lorenz, Wilmette

“DeeDee’s help created a dramatic transformation to my bedroom area which had become out of control. She helped to restore order and function and brought an amazing improvement to the quality of my lifestyle. You can really be proud of the work you and your organizers do and the difference that you make in the lives of your clients.”

Kathleen M., Skokie

“Altogether Organized is amazing! They completely reorganized our storage room with their innovative layout ideas. Lisa Gruchot has helped me numerous times with my children’s rooms, their toys and our master closet. She can transform an area quickly and thoroughly. Her pleasant personality makes her a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Altogether Organized and will definitely call them again!”

Ann F., Lake Forest, IL

“‘Awesome’ — that was my son’s surprised comment when I walked him into his room yesterday. It looks great and he really feels good about what we did. SO do I!”

J.W., Deerfield

“Linda is just the professional organizer I needed to help me get organized. She quickly determines a course of action and then we get right to work. She is intelligent, thoughtful and kind, making hard work as fun as it can be, and keeping me from feeling bad about all the things that I have accumulated.”

Amy S.

“I was feeling so overwhelmed by the many piles of papers (bills, notes from school, invitations to respond to, bank statements etc.) constantly coming in , stacked in different ways hoping I’d remember what was what, but with no “Home” for them. DeeDee worked with me to devise a system that made sense to my lifestyle and created “homes” for all of my (and my children’s) papers. There is now a place for everything and everything has its place! I am eternally grateful!”

Heidi Z., Wilmette

“When I started with Altogether Organized, I was concerned that I would be embarrassed in asking for help, However, the process was such that I was strengthened and respected. Lisa was tremendously resourceful and creative in solving problems and finding solutions. In addition, she was extremely sensitive to my needs, and while she often guided me to the path ahead, I was never pushed. When I felt at a loss in not knowing how to “do things right” Lisa was very supportive and respectful, I felt that I was being assisted by a friend – a very knowledgeable, professional, considerate and delightful friend.”

Jewell Gregory, Glenview

“DeeDee and Lisa have been godsends to me and my home. It is the greatest feeling in the world to be able to find things again! I consider this project a great investment that will reap endless positive returns, for which I will not only have an organized home, but I will also have the tools to keep it organized. Thank you so much!”

Debbie, Buffalo Grove
