It's Not Always About Pinterest…

Our little team here at NEAT Jax loves a good “makeover” with all the terribly awful before photos and the fancy schmancy after shots. We love making things NEAT and beautiful and putting cute little labels on everything. We love it when a client shares Pinterest-inspired pictures, and we can create a gorgeous aesthetic by using various bins and other elements to add depth and texture. We love it when clients give us creative control.

BUT…the thing I’ve come to love the most is the clients who have little to no budget for supplies, tight time constraints (due to budget), and finally reach the point of asking for help. When someone who is truly in need asks for help, we are always sure to tell them from the beginning how proud we are of them – it’s a hard thing to do. I know many of you can look around at your own chaos and not even imagine inviting someone in to see it. But we want to see it and we want to help.

Sure, we are a luxury service, and it’s not cheap to have us come in and do our thing. It’s a big commitment on your end – we understand that. We have been so pleased with a few recent clients who have looked around their homes and decided it was time to finally do something, and called us. They couldn’t really afford it, and they felt totally overwhelmed, but they set a goal and let us achieve it for them and with them.

One client in particular felt a need in her whole home, but decided to focus her budget on clothes. She hired our team for a short amount of time, and the only thing we were to worry about was her clothes and getting her closet mostly organized. There wasn’t a budget for supplies (bins, baskets, storage containers), and we worked with that – sometimes it’s just about getting things off the floor and folded or hung up. She was so happy with what we were able to do – we really wanted to do more, but I believe she was inspired to keep going on her own.

Sometimes it’s budget constraints, sometimes it’s mental health worries, sometimes it’s just not even knowing where or how to start. But it’s never about beautiful before-and-after pictures – it’s not about making your life look like a Pinterest board. NEAT Jax is about helping you gain a little control, find some peace, and just live your life with a little less stress.
