  • "Thanks so much for your helpful work today.  I can see why you're so much more valuable than a book.  You got into my work and way of thinking in order to determine what systems would best suite me and my business.  You watched and listened to me and brought me the system that fits me like a glove.  I feel so much clearer.  You eliminated MY chaos!" - Renee Adsitt, Color Whiz ...
  • "You have been a fabulous organizing partner.  I have so appreciated your kindness as we have worked our way through our years of stuff, and all of your good organizing and design suggestions."   - Michelle Graunke...
  • "Always gentle, you provide great ideas, and effectively help deal with clutter.  A painful but necessary process for me, and I'm grateful for all you do.!"  
    - L L    ...
  • "We both understand the principles of getting rid of clutter but somehow there was too much inertia to overcome, which in turn blocked any real forward progress. Each time we tried, we would spend several well-intentioned days working through some files and then other issues would emerge to occupy our time.  Consequently, we really did not make sufficient forward progress.

    Our thought in hiring Margaret was to leverage her expertise in organizing, but even more, her capacity as a 'coach' to keep us focused on achieving our objective of living without clutter.  That seems a lofty goal, but I can tell you that we are currently living without clutter!   Interestingly, during the process, we discovered that a number of things that really were import...
  • "Erin really took the time to listen and understand my needs. She helped me refine my vision for the space and provided great suggestions and insight. Erin made the process an enjoyable one. Thanks Erin!"
    -Gene Juarez   ...
  • "If you can find 15 minutes extra each day - what would it be worth to you?  I have always considered myself pretty organized, so I was impressed with the ideas that Laura was able to show me that saved me the time each day.  Even just saving 20 minutes a day is a big deal.  That is enough time for me to connect with a new client or spend time with my daughters."   - Bill Brooks, American Pacific Mortgage ...
  • "Thank you so much for the great work you have been doing for Dave.  Peace of mind was what I wanted for him and that's what you delivered.  I can't thank you enough.  He is surprised that he can now walk into the office without fear and dread every day!"   - M.G. (Dave's wife)...
  • "I worked with Erin, one of the specialists who works with the Chronically Disorganized (hoarders). In a word, she was fantastic. In four 4-hour sessions, she helped me go through and box up (keep, donate, trash) almost everything that was stacked up in my kitchen, dining room, office, and bonus room. Erin arrived promptly. We went over what I wanted to accomplish that day, then we got to work. She was focused, calm, non-judgmental, and tireless. She faced very dirty circumstances and didn't bat an eyelash. She never once caused me a moment of anxiety; the relief that I felt when we were done was amazing. And Laura Leist, who is the owner of Eliminate Chaos, was lovely. She returned my calls promptly, was kind and understanding, and offered me some options. I would hire this company again ...
  • " I was at Denise's delivering product and heard a great compliment that I wanted to share with you.  One of the gentlemen installing cabinet hardware told Denise that based on what the inside of her office cabinets and drawers looked like 'Martha Stewart would be envious of her organizational skills.'   Denise told him all about you and told him that you were very talented and had been a great help to her." - Jill Turner- Willox, Designer ...

“I have never used a service like Eliminate Chaos. We recently moved to the Seattle area and the help that Eliminate Chaos provided was amazing, in just a few short days my box filled house became livable.”

~  Ricki, Bellevue





"During the recent visit we were moving from one home to another. I was so overwhelmed and I did not have any idea where to begin. The process began and I followed along. I was still so overwhelmed by all the questions and the fact that I didn't have the answers. Then, as the day moved forward one of the gals asked me how I was feeling. You could tell that she sensed my anxiety of the move. I answered with a very neutral answer and she accepted it. As the move went forward the same gal came back to the house we were moving from and heated up her lunch. She simply just opened up a conversation and allowed me to talk and without even knowing what happened until the conversation ended I realized all my anxiety went away and I trusted her with all that was going to happen. Her assurance that it will work made all the difference in the world. Not only is the expertise of the company incredible, but the customer service is something words can not describe. Yes, business is important but they took it one step further and made me feel like my family and i were as well.."

Katy Hanses, Yakima, WA

 

“I have yearned for years to have an organizer help me to organize the "studio" in our home where we work on the computer, sew, do art projects and have our home office. When Kate Deppa arrived, I was both excited and nervous, but she put me at ease right away and was a calming influence the whole day.  She helped me to process all of the stuff in the room in such a way that I felt both confident and liberated in tossing things out and straightening up the things I wanted to keep. I would not have been able to accomplish what we did together, paring down my possessions, had it not been for Kate's assistance!  A huge thank you to Kate!”

"Our daughter returned home from camp she was ecstatic! Her comments: "whoaa! gnarly! awesome! I was looking for [that]!  I can't believe you found all this stuff!  Wow, you found [that]?! Thanks for cleaning, Mom, this is amazing" Of course she thinks I did it all ;-)                         Incredibly, her room has remained clean!  Thanks so much!"


~ Patty, Seattle, WA

 


 

“Having just lost my husband 3 months ago to a car accident, I had been feeling very overwhelmed by all the "stuff" piling up in and around my house. I am a secondary school principal with two children, ages 11 and 9, and as much as I want to be super mom,                I cannot do it all.  Kate came over & walked through the spaces, taking care to ask my input & also demonstrated a willingness to do as much as I needed her to do.

At the end of one day, I had a functional garage again instead of a giant mess. I am now able to park     in the garage again, and with a few more shelves, there may even be room for two cars.  As my dad said, "Whatever you are paying, that's money well spent". 

Thank you for everything!!”

 

~  Whitney, Port Ludlow, WA

 


             “My garage was a filthy mess of bent boxes of stuff.  Kate cleaned all the shelves and helped organize

             stuff so I now have clean places in the garage to put the stuff I want to get out of the house.”

            

~ Marcia, Lynnwood WA 

 

            

  

 

             "Kate was able to come in and immediately help me make progress.  She has excellent suggestions and advice to help me re-arrange and re-order things.  I totally appreciate the quick end-of-session review and goal-setting for the next time."

 

~Ashley Engelund

            

  

"When I was getting ready to sell our house, I called on Kate's expertise to get my house ready and looking nice. Kate helped me plan some updates then helped me pick out and match flooring, sink and faucet for the kitchen and new lighting for the dining room and entry. She also organized the cupboards. After Kate completed the staging of the furniture and the accessories for me, the house looked great! Her sense of style and attention to detail is super. Our realtor frequently tells us how many people comment on how great the house looks and how nicely staged it is! I couldn't have done it without Kate who patiently led me through all of the decisions."

~ Doris, Edmonds WA



 

"Kate was very loving and caring and treated me with respect, which I appreciated since I was in a fragile state at the time. Having gained control and order in my house again has blessed me and strengthened me beyond belief. I recommend Kate for anything she takes on; she takes charge, follows through to the smallest detail and makes the sun shine!"

 

~ Myrna Thompson,

Massage and Bowen Practitioner



 

 

"My sewing/craft room was a disaster, with only a path through the stacks. I called Creative Organization and two days later Kate had a tidy and orderly room for me. I highly recommend Kate and would hire her in the future."

~ Lynette, Monroe WA




 

"My garage was a total disaster. I couldn't find any of the tools I needed when I needed them. I had remnants of several projects scattered throughout and it was frustrating to even try to walk through. Kate worked with me to sort out the mess. She was respectful of the items I knew I wanted to keep and encouraged me to recycle, donate or dispose of the items I didn't need. Kate found me some perfectly suited kitchen cabinets from craigslist that would have ended up in the landfill and they work great. Now I can find any of my tools in an instant and my little projects around the house are actually fun again. I even find myself showing guests my newly organized garage, rather than praying nobody opens that door! Kate's help was invaluable."

~ Doug, Edmonds, WA



 “Kate Deppa was above and beyond my expectations in organizing my home!! She was full of helpful ideas. She gave me the skills to keep my rooms organized. Kate was professional and I highly recommend her.” 

~ Susan, Seattle, WA

"Kate was wonderful! She helped reduce the amount of paper in our office and in turn reduced the amount of stress as well. We have discovered how good it feels to be clutter free." 

~ Peter, Edmonds, WA


"Overall, using Kate was a very good experience and use of my time and money." 

~ Kathi, Kenmore, WA

 




Kate Deppa joined Eliminate Chaos at the beginning of 2010 after 3 years as a professional organizer and owner of Creative Organization, LLC..

 

kateKate enjoys creating peaceful, functional spaces for people. She has discovered, over the years of helping family and friends get their homes and offices organized, that she has a natural talent in this area. When a friend suggested she become a professional organizer she looked into it and discovered a fascinating career. In 2007 Kate opened a business dedicated to helping others achieve their organizing goals. Even though Kate recently joined Eliminate Chaos, she has been at it for many years.

Kate is an active member of the Seattle Area Chapter of NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers). She serves on the Board of Directors as Associate Member Director, as well as serving on the Welcome and Get Organized Month Committees.

Kate's favorite pastime is being with her husband and two children. They all love to do anything that is outdoorsy. Family is the most important thing in her life. In her free time she enjoys riding horses and learning the skills of Natural Horsemanship. She also likes traveling to under-privileged countries to help in any way she can. Kate has benefited greatly by the dozen or so overseas trips to various counties bringing humanitarian aid where it is needed.
