Kitchens
"In department stores,
so much kitchen equipment is bought indescriminately by people
who just came in looking for underwear."
-- Julia Child
Is your kitchen as efficient as it could be?
Is cooking in your kitchen an exercise in frustration because
you can’t find what you need? Have you “adapted”
to the space because you’re not sure what would make it
work better?
Imagine being able to quickly and easily assemble what
you need to cook a meal. Imagine not having to dig
through the fridge or the back of cabinets or through drawers
to find what you need.
Kitchens are notorious for disorganization.
Most kitchens can be landing areas for mail, school papers,
and children’s art projects. Problems can arise from buying
irresistible kitchen gadgets. Sometimes it’s several grocery
shoppers or the housekeeper who put things in “interesting”
places. Even a lot of space can fill up fast, and soon you have
crowded drawers, no working counter space and difficulty just
finding the basics.
Projects start by my asking you questions about how
you and your family use the kitchen. I
will carefully sort through your kitchen, create order and improve
efficiency. Your pantry and cupboards will be “zoned”
by use, and items will be visible and reachable.
I am an expert kitchen organizer with unique credentials
for solving your kitchen problems. I hold a culinary
arts certificate from the California Culinary Academy in San
Francisco and have studied at the Culinary Institute of America
at Greystone in the Napa Valley.

“
I can't begin to tell
you how wonderful the kitchen is. Really. And
strangely enough, we aren't messing it up any more. It's been
several days now and it's almost as clean as when you left
it. A place for everything, everything in it's place. And
it is SO peaceful and tranquil... Gayle, I am so glad I found
you.”
--R. Cary, Oakland
“A friend gave us a gift certificate for
Gayle's organizing services. We were
skeptical, as I was sure I was already very organized.
She started in our kitchen and after one day I was amazed
at what she was able to do and how much more efficient my
kitchen was. I found things I didn't even remember I
had and somehow it even felt as though our kitchen got bigger
overnight!”
“ We loved her work so much we had her
come back and do the rest of the house.
Getting the closets organized is the best thing anyone could
do for themselves. We love Gayle and her team of helpers
and we look forward to her yearly visits for our "checkup".
I am very pleased to recommend Gayle to anyone who wants to
get organized.”
