space redesign, organization

"I highly recommend Laura Watkin of order! We just finished a series of organizing sessions with her and I can not say enough about how wonderful and transformative the process has been!"

“Laura had the vision to tackle some serious challenges in every corner of our home from all the kid-themes clutter to basement storage systems.”

Melissa P.

Wellesley, MA

“After working with order , our home now feels bigger and like a place I am happy to be instead of a constant mess and source of stress. Laura took all our donations with her and ensured they go to a good place, which is a gift in and of itself. Laura and order helped me carve a home office into our space by relocating the playroom, creating a home base for all our mail and papers, streamline our kitchen cabinets and so much more!”

Allison Y.

“Laura had a vision that she communicated, prepared, and installed. My home office is inviting, and comfortable, my new favorite room.”

transitional planning

“Laura orchestrated our move and made what felt like an overwhelming job approachable, and compartmentalized. We had been putting off the idea of moving for so long and order made it easier than we thought.”

We lost count of the number of times we told Laura “We couldn’t do this without you”. After 35 years in a large house in the woods, our mother finally decided to move to a retirement community into a home 1/3 of her size. During the Covid lockdown. With her children far. Laura, equal parts field marshall and empathetic companion, guided Mom through selecting a moving company, sorting a warehouse worth of old papers and possessions, and donating fifty years of accumulation. Always upbeat and never flagging, Laura was our touchstone for the 4 weeks leading up to the move, and after. During the last few days together of packing and moving, all we had to do was ask “Has anyone seen a screwdriver?”, and Laura knew exactly which bin held the goods! Once more in tremendous gratitude, “We couldn’t have done this without you, Laura!”

“Have a great day knowing that you help so many.... giving all the power to be proud of their surroundings. It really is quite a gift!”

Dear Laura, never did I think introducing you to my in-laws would be as great of a gift as it was! You were amazing from beginning to end. You put my in-laws at ease as much as possible and became the ONLY ONE they trusted to assist with the huge task of moving. You allowed them to digest in small increments the difficult task of downsizing, kept them on schedule, planned the exit from their home in great detail, and of course did an OUTSTANDING job of designing their new home and selecting all the finishes and furnishings. Everything was off their plate, and therefore kept the family very happy, knowing every detail would be taken care of. The realtor you suggested was amazing and sold their condo before it went on the market, for the full asking price. If that wasn't enough, the packers and movers hired along with the unpacking implementation were tremendous. So many times we would comment that you treated our parents as if they were your own. There was not a detail you left out, nor a task you were not willing to take on. You did it all with a smile, a lovely interface, and compassion. I know there is NO WAY the move would have happened without you - or at least without significant problems. Everything was handled and in ORDER. On behalf of the family, I say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You were fantastic!

home sale preparation

"Laura, we did it! The condo sold today for…… $940,000!!!!!

$90,000 over asking. With no inspection and no mortgage contingency!!! There is just NO WAY we would have been in this great position without all your hard work and expertise!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I HIGHLY recommend your services.

As I mentioned earlier, I was unprepared for the emotional component of cleaning out the place. Your team was efficient, so considerate, and economical. The way you took over and fixed everything that needed it, upgraded key cosmetic pieces, coordinate all cleaning, carpet shampooing, and “open house” touches was priceless.

The 10% over asking is directly related to your team’s hard work!"

"Hey Laura, just wanted to say thanks again for making my job easy this past weekend. You worked so hard to get my client’s condo ready for market and it really paid off. Buyers really appreciated the improvements. Teamwork makes the dream work! Laura, I would be happy to refer you anytime!"

“I cannot say enough about Laura and order. She has helped us organize, purge and declutter! She is nonjudgmental and knows how to get the entire family involved!”

Pam M.

Peabody, MA

"Pressed for time to move, I skeptically reached out to order to help sort what would come with us. Laura immediately sensed my difficulty in parting with my “must keeps”. Laura laid out another paradigm for me to consider. By acknowledging my stress, she talked about my challenges AND my goals. She gave me solutions. We started with a refreshed perspective about it and—before I knew it—we had filled so many containers to donate that I was actually really excited about what we had done! We took time to celebrate the memories and clear away any self-conflict. At every turn, there was a challenge to meeting the objective. At every challenge, Laura found a solution. I’m grateful for the experience. Not only did we accomplish what we needed to do, but I also learned some techniques to do it independently in the future. What a great thing to have done!"

preparing for a baby: home declutter/reorganization

"We are so extremely happy with the results from working with order! Laura's so amazing to work with. She quickly learned our organizational goals and through a mix of hands on and homework assignments, our two bedroom townhouse has been totally transformed. My wife and I have always struggled with organization but the systems Laura put into place have really worked. We are so thankful for these changes and have been able to maintain them! Thanks again Laura!!"

home remodel

“Laura finally agreed to work with us after years of hinting! We are so happy to get through our to do list together and see our home become what we had always imagined!”

Carol L.

I collaborated with Laura and order as the interior designer on a project that focused on decluttering, organization, and home improvement projects. Laura managed budgets, payments, and installations, as well as attended all design meetings. She's creative, honest, and hardworking. She keeps her clients on track as they move towards their ultimate goal of bringing order into their lives. We forged a seamless relationship resulting in a beautifully organized home for our client.

It has been an honor and a blessing to work with Laura Watkin and order on multiple projects together. Her attention to detail and the client are beyond expectations. I look forward to working with her on many more projects to come.
