Hot Mess

The Duchess of Declutter Organizing Service

Brooke Lawrence wants to show you her underwear … drawer.

Calling herself The Duchess of Declutter, she’s been consumed with cleanliness since she was wee. Now she wants to obsess over your mess.

Lawrence has her beliefs and sticks to them (clothes that haven’t been worn in six months don’t deserve the closet real estate). A self-professed nonsaver, she’ll transform your office, kitchen, drawers, basement, or garage into a junk-free haven. Her philosophy — order in your house creates order in life — rings true.

After assessing your goals, Lawrence gets organizing (you can help if you’re nice). She’ll show you how to use eBay or Craigslist, accompany you to The Container Store, and provide a list of donation outlets for your giveaways.

Now that’s putting the order in hoarder.
