Gayle and her team are a dream team and you need them (you may not even know how very much you need them until you have them). They came in and handled a residential move at an extremely busy time in my work life, completely managed and organized everything from A to Z, start to finish, with extreme attention to detail, professionalism, style, humor, and utmost trustworthiness. It was as if they were part of the family and treated the process, our belongings, our comfort, and life as if it were their own. We could not have been more pleased with their services, the results, the costs, everything. Only thing you need to do it to stop feeling guilty about the need and stop believing you cannot afford this high quality service. You, your life, your family, your home, and your sanity will ALL be the better for it. Call now!

If you have ever wondered if hiring a professional organizer to assist you with a move or a big house project is worth the money, let me share my experience with you.
Clutter somehow always finds it way into my world and sticks to me! I find myself picking up interesting stuff thinking I'll go back to it when I have time, and then wondering why my house is such a wreck. Fast forward to the decluttering and organizing project that accompanied a recent home remodel.
I hired Gayle Grace, All Things Home, when I realized that no remodel would ever provide enough storage for all the junk I had collected over the years. I needed serious help! So to my team of project professionals (architect, contractor, interior designer) I added a professional organizer.
Gayle helped me pack up before the contractors moved in... and we got rid of a ton of stuff instead of storing it.. wedding gifts that had never been used, family "heirlooms" that no one really liked, unread books.. the list was endless. And then she helped me move back in, and find a place for everything worth keeping - and yes, we purged more stuff when we unpacked.
We unpacked 4 months ago and our home is still beautiful! But the real test is our habit of entertaining our friends, which in the past made a disaster area of our home for weeks before AND after a party. Last weekend we had a HUGE party with 60 plus people in our house.. And in a matter of days, my kitchen/home is once again peaceful and organized. As we cleaned up, everything had a place, and it was easy to put things back in their places. Now I can enjoy my house - with and without all my friends.
Thanks Gayle, you have changed my life! -

As a treat to myself I had professional organizer, Gayle Grace, help me unpack and organize my small kitchen after a recent move.
Prior to our arriving we discussed my situation, set a budget and made plans to meet. She arrived on time and ready to go. After a few insightful questions about how I cook/bake and how often she set to work. A few hours later I had a fully unpacked and organized kitchen. She had some great ideas about utilizing all the space available.
I feel good about maintaing the system she set up for me. It's useable and looks good to boot! -

My experience with professional organizer Gayle Grace and All Things Home was extremely positive.
Gayle recently partnered with Peggy Hughes Associates on our move from SF to the peninsula. Gayle was reassuring, efficient and an organizational fiend all rolled into one.
All of our items were packed and organized to perfection, and Gayle offers all sorts of concierge services (change-of-address, switching utilities, donating your unwanted items to charity, etc.) in addition to supervising and coordinating the moving process. Also, she has an excellent network of contacts for things like getting boxes and for the move itself.
She patiently answered all sorts of questions and was in constant contact to help throughout the move.
Considering all the hard work that Gayle does and all the stress that she saved us from, her hourly rate is quite reasonable. Plus, you can choose from a range of services, selecting only the ones you need and not having to pay for any you don't.
Every penny was worth it, and I'd definitely work with her again for any future moves! -

I had to move my rather dysfunctional 88 and 90 yr. old parents from their home of 60 yrs/2600 sq. feet to a Seniors retirement facility and I would have been a basket case if it weren't for professional organizer Gayle Grace and her organizing business.
She worked with each parent to determine what furniture would fit in each of their rooms, helped them decide what they could and couldn't take, packed ALL of their things including clothes, toiletries, meds and furniture, hired some great movers and then unpacked them in their new home. Gayle is patient, hard working, 150% honest, unrattleable and fun to be around. She is a gem! If you're just looking to unclutter, she'll have you in shape in no time! Laurie Harper, Alameda, Ca. -

Gayle Grace of All Things Home is the most incredible resource for any individual or family looking to move, downsize, organize their life, etc. I work with the elderly and Gayle is our go-to person for all families thinking about making a move, no matter how big or small.
Unlike a regular moving company that just handles the physical labor, Gayle offers a full range of services to help any family in transition. She is competent, warm, compassionate, resourceful and patient. She's connected to a whole network of resources across the country and can help with everything from physically packing you up, coordinating estate sales, donations, handling a long distance move either to or from the Bay Area. She can help you tackle difficult or embarrassing issues like hoarding without judgement and will be a wealth of knowledge for you.
I only wish I had known about Gayle's services when we were moving my own grandma to the Bay Area. I remember how stressful it was going through her lifetime of belongings, finding some treasures, but some junk too. It would've been so nice to have an unbiased, unattached 3rd party holding our hand through the exhausting process and Gayle could've taken all the pressure off our family.Listed in: Let the professionals do the…

Gayle and her team came out last week and unpacked and organized our kitchen and bedroom. Wow. They did more work in one day than my wife and I managed to do in a year after our last move. I can't tell you how great it is to feel like you've unpacked and can cook a meal in a clean, organized kitchen just a few days after a stressful move.
Super-trustworthy, polite and very hardworking. A wee bit pricy but worth every penny. I think we're going to call Gayle again for our home office. -

I asked for Gayle's help with my overwhelming task of putting my 4-bedroom, 2-car garage house on the market and moving to a considerably smaller place. Gayle, in our consultation, prepped me on what to do to get the house ready for sale and talked me through staging and hiring a realtor. She then, in two sessions, worked with me on my kitchen and child's room, and we disposed of more than 20 boxes worth of stuff I had been holding onto but never using. The kitchen declutter was awesome: room in my kitchen cabinets! Items close to where I use them!
Gayle even got my daughter completely engaged and we walked out of that project with a completely neat, organized bedroom and closet and said goodbye to MANY toys that had not been touched in years--with no tears or regrets.
I did sell my house. In 7 days, with 9 offers, and for far more than list price!!! And now I'm headed to a small apartment where I will be asking Gayle to be help me unpack and organize my kitchen and closets. Because having her help is so. worth. every. penny. -

Gayle is brisk, knowledgeable and reassuring. I called her in a panic about an upcoming move -- she gave me an hour of her time, which she filled with helpful tips, organizational ideas, and "don't forget tos," all delivered in a calm, sensible tone that made me feel 100% better about this process. (Well, maybe about 75%, but the remaining 25% is my own craziness and not any deficiency in Gayle's advice.) Highly recommended for any organizational or moving challenges.
