Barbara LaFleur is the only certified organizer within a 200+ mile radius of Shreveport. I
am extremely impressed with her credentials and the way she tackles her assignments.

The reasons I was looking for an organizer were threefold:

•  During Covid quarantine and after, I “lived” in my house but didn’t try to maintain

it;

•  I was approaching but not yet to the point of hoarding; and

• I had inherited furniture and other goods from my late mother and needed to

make space for these items.

We initially spoke by phone and then Barbara drove for over an hour to meet me and to
see my home for an initial consultation. Barbara charged a nominal fee for this
consultation. She took photos of each room and sent me an organization questionnaire,
so she understood what my expectations and goals were. She has made wonderful
suggestions and changes to make my life more organized and simpler.

We initially attacked my office – a room that I couldn’t walk across before Barbara and
her assistant, Jeanette, arrived in mid-August. It took some time to purge the room of
unnecessary items but, from the moment we started, it moved quickly. This room was
probably the most cluttered because it had become a storage/junk room over the last 4
years. Barbara made the office presentable with a work/gift wrap table, a closet full of
labeled tubs containing craft and needle projects, and clearly defined areas for each
type of work, craft, or gift wrap. Jeanette cleaned every surface. Every piece of trash or
item to be thrown away was bagged to be set out on trash day. Every item that could
be donated was hauled off by Barbara and Jeanette. Any storage item that might be
used in another area of the house was kept for later.

From the office, we moved to the master bedroom, bath and adjacent closet. This area
was the second most cluttered area. Barbara labeled my hanging clothes with dividers
and organized my drawers in all three areas. My closet has never looked so neat, and it
has been easy to maintain.

Afterwards, she helped me declutter and organize two guest bedrooms, a jack and jill
bath, a hall closet, the laundry room, a half bath and other storage areas. We also
decluttered my kitchen in preparation for a remodel but have not yet organized it.

Barbara really learns about her clients’ tastes, needs and personality, and uses what
she knows about her clients to help them. She finds items that fit their personality for
organization. For instance, I love color, and she found a set of canvas boxes in 10
different colors to hold my purses. She also discovered a beautiful jewelry cabinet for
me. She is a master at using what you already have on hand if it works for you. She
will listen if you don’t like something and move on to another solution that is more fitting.

​

She has been a wonderful resource in so many areas of my life (not just decluttering
and organizing), and I value her friendship and her ideas and opinions. I look forward to
continuing our journey to complete the reorganization of my house, especially after the remodel!

I never realized how much time I was wasting digging through my messy medicine cabinet until we were given the opportunity to have it done professionally.  Barbara sorted everything into labeled bins - she organized for each of our daily supplements, cold/flu, prescriptions, and expired, etc.  We can find exactly what we need in seconds!  Highly recommend having a professional organizer put their touch in your home - Ms. Barbara is a game changer!

Ms. Barbara is an absolute professional with an incredible talent for organization.  She transformed our cluttered chaotic kitchen pantry into a beautifully arranged, functional space that makes cooking so much easier.  Her attention to detail, efficiency, and ability to create practical storage solutions are truly impressive.  She not only maximized every inch of space but also made sure everything was labeled, easy to find, and maintain.  We highly recommend Ms. Barbara to anyone looking for organization help!

Once again, I was happy that I chose "Creating Organization" for help with my home office.  Barbara is very talented and was able to suggest small inexpensive changes that made a huge difference.  Her ability to guide me with systems that worked for me simplified my life and I would definitely recommend her services.

Barbara LaFleur is amazing!  She never judged me for how horribly cluttered everything was.  She created a simple step-by- step program for me to follow.  Barbara brought such peace to our chaos.  By day 2 my hopelessness turned to courage, and I felt like I might actually be able to get my house "free of clutter".  Our family benefited from this program so much.  Less stress, better focus, and more family time.  Being able to invite friends over for the first time is a great feeling too.  Give Barbara LaFleur a call.  You won't regret it.

After living in a house for 35 years and raising three kids, we decided to downsize. Almost a year later my new upstairs storage area was still a cluttered mess. Virtually Barbara helped me turn that area into an amazing seating area with a curtained-off, organized storage area. With virtual sessions and homework, she helped me throw away junk, give away unneeded items and label and store the things I wanted to keep. Barbara gave me so many wonderful ideas. She taught me how to label and store containers that are easily read. She told me where to buy cheap material and how to hang the curtains to conceal the shelving and boxes. The thing that helped me most was the homework. Giving me a list of things to have completed before each session gave me the push needed to get the job done. I am so glad to have that area finished. Thank you, Barbara!

Once again Creating Organization has solved my problem.  I love the convenience of their virtual organizing service.  I simply picked up the phone and worked with Barbara to find the best way to organize my items.  Thanks, Creating Organization for helping me work through getting my house organized. You'll hear from me again soon!

I highly recommend Creating Organization.  I was overwhelmed with my twin's closet, pantry, and laundry room.  I felt defeated just looking at all the unnecessary stuff.  Barbara had wonderful ideas to help.  She didn't judge my mess and encouraged me with homework and positive praise.  I can't wait for her to finish my other projects in the future.

I can't thank you enough for all your help in my studio! The clutter made me feel tired and unable to focus. I now have new energy when I walk in the door to work in my newly organized space. The continuing accountability and motivation are keeping me on track as I form new habits, and I have no doubt this room will easily STAY organized.

I love scrapbooking photos of my grandkids but had become very frustrated with the overwhelming chore of finding the photos I needed to develop in order to do so.  Creating Organization worked with me to develop a very simple system that has cleared my mind and brought back the enjoyment of my hobby!

I hired Creating Organization to organize my recipes.  Four years' worth of collected recipes went from a huge shopping bag to one binder with tabs showing categories of foods.  Most rewarding money I have ever spent!  I can now actually find the recipe I want to cook.

For years I struggled to clear clutter from my home without realizing what was causing my repeatedly cluttered areas!  Barbara worked with me to identify what wasn't working for me. I now know exactly what to do with unwanted items. There will be no more tossing something I don't want in the corner of my bedroom or on the kitchen counter. I also put away items because she helped me store them in ways that make it easy to return them after use.  The systems Creating Organization put in place for me work with my personality and make it easy to live clutter free.

I'm very much a slob by nature. Through an ongoing process, Barbara helped me clearly see the time and money I wasted by not being organized.  Now I NEVER have to waste time hunting my keys etc.  After learning everything needs a home and that home needs to be very user friendly (storage drawers instead of stacked boxes is one example) I find myself questioning if a stray item has a home.  She has SO many great ideas to simplify life!
