Andrea is a true pro! It was a delight to work with her on several organizing/decorating projects in my home. Not only did she get my disorganized bookcases looking fantastic-- she created a good strategy to deal with future books. Her approach is not only aesthetic but practical! I can't recommend her highly enough!

Working with Andrea from Parse Home was a fantastic experience. She helped my sellers and me stage their home, and her eye for aesthetics is exceptional. Her thoughtful staging transformed the space and played a major role in making our listing truly stand out. Highly recommended!

Life changing! I did a full closet makeover with Andrea. Five years ago we moved into our home and I inherited a bedroom-sized closet. I proceeded to fill it completely, and then some. It was overfilled, chaotic and unorganized. She helped me (gently) purge clothing and accessories, brainstormed smarter ways to use the space and created a storage plan with organizing product recommendations. I walk in my closet now and absolutely love it. She truly takes the time to understand how you live and function and creates a system that really works for you. I literally want her to organize every room in my house. We scheduled the pantry next!

Andrea entered a room with MANY boxes, bags, and intimidating piles of “things” needing organizing and storing in our new dwelling, a 2- bedroom apartment. Within about 6 hours she’d put everything into labeled piles and tackled the inefficiently designed closets that would become the partial solution for the “save these” photos, documents, and correspondence. She found an easy-to-assemble bookcase small enough to fit in my husband’s closet but big enough to hold his shoes, as well as storage solutions for a multitude of other things. Andrea is efficient, smart, gracious, creative, and very good at what she does.

Andrea with Parse Home was fantastic to work with! She is patient, kind and a great listener apart from having great organizational skills and ideas! She helped us organize years of personal and work items in our finished basement. Would definitely hire her again for additional rooms!

Andrea was incredibly thoughtful and took the time to understand what we wanted to achieve. She listened to our feedback throughout the process and made adjustments that worked well for us. What impressed me most was how kind and patient Andrea is. Welcoming someone into your clutter can feel vulnerable, but Andrea made the experience comfortable and even enjoyable. The space now feels purposeful and lovely. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for professional organizing and styling. Looking forward to tackling the next project together!

Andrea helped prepare our home for sale. She pulled our own things together while also thinning out the clutter. We thought we’d have to dispose of a lot of our favorite things after we downsized, but Andrea found ideal spots for many of them in our new home. Andrea was such a pleasure to work with. She's enthusiastic and encouraging while staying focused on getting things done.

Andrea helped my 81-year-old mom move into her independent living apartment after selling her home. Andrea was a supportive, positive and calming presence. Andrea made my mom’s place feel like home. She figured out the best placement for the furniture, helped my mom pick out her favorite artwork and photos, and even placed and hung the artwork. She created a gallery wall of all my mom's favorite handmade art from her kids and grandkids. She patiently organized my mom’s closets and helped her part with lots of old clothes and picture frames. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who needs help downsizing and moving in. We found this experience to be stress-reducing, and it resulted in a new living space that was comfortable, functional, and uplifting.

Andrea has helped us with numerous projects, and the results are always spectacular. One standout project was a photo wall she created for us. We had about 20 framed, very special original family photos, and Andrea arranged them in an artistic yet orderly way that we never would have thought of ourselves. Andrea has a true gift for design and for transforming spaces in creative, beautiful, and highly functional ways.

I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough! From the very beginning, she brought creativity, professionalism, and an incredible eye for detail to our backyard party. She thoughtfully designed the entire layout, making the space feel both beautiful and welcoming, while ensuring everything flowed perfectly for our guests. The floral arrangements were absolutely stunning and exceeded all expectations. Her ability to combine organization, styling and event design transformed our backyard into a truly special space. Beyond her talent, she was a joy to work with- organized, responsive, and committed to making sure every detail was just right. Our guests were constantly commenting on how beautiful everything looked.
