Living Lightly

Zhanna was such a tremendous help to both me and my family. After helping me figure out how to sort through what I needed to keep and what I needed to donate, we organized my closet, kitchen, kids’ rooms, living room, and play room; everything from the pots I use the most to my hefty closet and boot collection, to the kids’ bookshelves and toys are easily accessible to myself and my children, and clutter free. Really.
Everything has a place and is used– cleaning up after the day is not cumbersome or anxiety ridden. I recently had a birthday party for my 4 year old and all 10 children were able to play in the play room, self directed, for an hour due to the different «stations» we created (art, reading, kitchen, music, building toys).
My house is a small row home in South Philly — the rooms are not by any means large but Zhanna was still able to make great use of my space (in all rooms) and helped me utilize what I already had in the house to create a clutter free environment. She also taught me how to do this for myself, simply by putting things back in their proper place and taking toys (and bedding and clothes) to Goodwill once they aren’t needed. Thanks!

Zhanna’s skills as a professional organizer are amazing. She helped me with my daughter’s playroom, my kitchen, and my closet, and I can easily say that since she worked in my home, my life is a thousand times easier. My daughter plays independently and the morning dash out of the door is so much faster and streamlined, now that I’m not scrambing to find my clothes! Zhanna’s true talent lies in her ability to create systems that are easy to maintain, in other words, she changes the way you live and think about your home — in a positive way. As a bonus, her personality is fabulous — I never thought I would look forward to sifting through piles of junk for four hours at a time! The return you will get on your investment in Zhanna’s time and talent cannot be overstated.

I have nothing but great things to say about Living Lightly! Zhanna is amazing! She made my storage/​pantry closet into a useful and organized space.
She is also helping me transform my basement into my kid’s playroom. I’m so excited and cannot wait to the see the results. It looks great so far!
I highly recommend Zhanna and Living Lightly!!!

Zhanna helped me downsize, organize, and pack my entire apartment for a move from Brooklyn, NY to Atlanta, GA. I cannot say enough about how much her services helped me! She is extremely organized, thorough, and understanding. She helped me figure out what belongings I could let go of and how to dispose of them (what could be sold, what to donate, and how/​where to sell/​donate various items). She also helped me organize my work files (I work from home, so my apartment is essentially a home/​office). Finally, she carefully wrapped and packed my things into boxes, so nothing broke on my long distance move! Zhanna is patient, kind, and not at all judgmental. I highly recommend her services. You will definitely feel like you are Living Lightly after Zhanna leaves your home!

Zhanna is amazing! She’s helped me organize lots of rooms in my house, most recently my post baby/​maternity wear closet, and she’s awesome! I highly recommend her!
