spruce is for winners

apartment therapy is at it again. apparently they like to give things away to their readers and today they're giving away some sprucing!

readers need to write a little something about an organizational challenge that they wish they could have a little expert assistance with and one of them will be chosen as the winner. i'll be offering advice and a plan remotely (that means they'll send me some pictures and we'll talk on the phone). so, the winner gets a personal organizational coach and guru for two whole hours. see for yourself at apartment therapy and stay tuned for the before and after pics once the project is done.

fame becomes us

apartment therapy is a fabulous website started by interior designer maxwell gillingham-ryan (yes, he's been on oprah!). their goal (if they do say so themselves) is to connect people to the resources they need to improve their homes, while reducing their reliance on stuff.

today they're connecting people to spruce! i give them one big thumbs up for meeting their goal. see for yourself at apartmenttherapy.com

the spruce it is a-changing

today spruce is officially introducing a new phase of our business designed to help you help yourself. for years now people have been asking me, spruce founder, rachel siegel, for my advice about all sorts of organizational issues. "where should i put my . . . .?" "how do i deal with all the . . . ?" "what in the world should i do with my . . . .?

well, i'm ready to share the answers. beginning this month, i'll be available for private consultations on an hourly basis. if you're a bay area local, just invite me over, tell me what's bugging you, show me what your space is like, and i'll give you recommendations for how to solve the problem. i'll also make suggestions for my favorite, spruce-sanctioned products and tools and let you know where you can find them. finally, customized solutions for you to tackle at your own pace. if you live in another part of the world, we can do the same thing electronically and on the phone. (i just did three closets in brooklyn last week!)

it's what everyone's been clamoring for and it's here, just in time for the holidays. check out the website for more information and let the sprucing begin!
