Tidy Nest Team: Reimagine Your Spaces With Professional Organizers (Bedford & New Canaan Magazine)

Here’s a look at our ad that was featured in the May/June 2023 issue of Bedford & New Canaan Magazine!

Are you overwhelmed by the prospect of moving? We're also a full service relocation business. You can literally go on vacation and come back to an unpacked and styled house. And yes, there will be fresh flowers in the kitchen.

“Could not recommend this team more highly! Tidy Nest helped us edit our things before a big move, then plan and exec ute a seamless move in. We were sleeping in our beds and could find all of our things the first day- and 6 months later, the organizational systems are still holding. I love our pantry. and bookshelves. What’s more, they turned my 8-year old daughter into an organizing enthusiast so she’s labeling things in her room on her own now. Tidy Nest turned a chore into a lovely experience. Thank Six stars!” -Abigail, New York, NY

Tidy Nest Featured Press: Bedford & New Canaan Magazine Special Home Issue

Check out the Special Home issue of Bedford New Canaan Magazine.

It’s full of amazing homes and expert advice.

We’ve read it cover to cover and we’er not just saying that because we’re in it.

Take a look at our convo below with Bedford New Canaan Magazine on the importance of organizing your house before moving!

Project Recap: Unpacking a house in 5 days

Need: Our client needed help unpacking from their first move in 30 years. To make things challenging, the client wanted to host Easter dinner just 5 days after the move-in date. 

Solution: We created an aggressive schedule and stuck to it! 

All boxes were housed in the garage. They were brought into the house ONLY when it came time to unpack the box. This way the client was not living amongst boxes and worst case, if there were a few unpacked boxes at the time of the party, they wouldn’t be crowding the living area. 

We started with the bedrooms & bathrooms on the first day – the most important rooms! After a long day of moving, the best feeling is having your bedroom and bathroom ready for you. Two days were dedicated to the kitchen, the third day was dedicated to the living spaces (family room, living room, office) and the final day was dedicated to the seasonal and miscellaneous storage items. We even had time to decorate for Easter. 

Pro Tip: Map out all the cabinets, drawers & closets before you start to unpack. Use post-it notes to label. This will speed up unpacking time and will help the residents learn where all their belongings are housed.

Project Recap: Downsizing after 30 Years

Need: Our client wanted to downsize from a 3,000 square foot townhouse, which they lived in for 30 years, to a smaller space. With such busy schedules, they didn’t have time to pack up their belongings and also needed coaching when it came time to edit a lifetime of belongings to fit in their new home.

Solution: We broke the house up into categories, reviewing, editing and packing one category before moving on to the next. We started with the walk-in storage room as we knew this was full of items that were not used frequently. This was an easy editing exercise and gave the client confidence with her decision-making. We then moved on to seasonal

items, gym, office, non-essential kitchen items, followed by clothing and bathroom items. The entire editing and packing project took about a week. 

Pro Tip: Take time to create a staging / work area. Clear out a room or dedicate a space in the garage or hallway for a folding table, packing supplies, donations boxes, etc. You won’t waste time looking for packing tape and you won’t have to pack boxes while sitting on the floor! 

Products: We can’t live without these custom staging signs. There are 12 categories that cover every scenario in the editing process. We clipped these laminated signs to boxes in our staging area which eliminated the dreaded questions “Where should I put Donations / Trash / Etc.”
