Life changing! I did a full closet makeover with Andrea. When 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 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!

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 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 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.

When i say life changer i am not exaggerating! Andrea helped me make sense of the buckets and baskets we had of barbie shoes, dollhouse miniatures, dolls, dress up jewerly, accessories, you name it for my 2 young daughters in our small city apartment. They get so much joy now putting the squishy back in the drawer with a section for squishies (!), and i get a huge amount of joy cleaning up when i actually have a place to put things. She made it easy and digestable and is able to cut through the madness with grace and style. I already have more sessions with her on the calendar and i cannot wait.

I spent a couple of days working with Andrea on a much-needed closet makeover, and I’m so happy with the results! I had accumulated years of clothing, shoes and accessories that I hadn’t worn in years, and my closet had become completely overwhelming. Andrea helped me declutter and organize everything in a way that finally makes sense, but she did so much more than just organize. She gave me really helpful styling advice, showed me new ways to put together outfits using pieces I already own, and helped me recognize what was no longer serving me—whether because of the fit, color, style or simply because I never reached for it. She made the whole process much easier than I expected. My closet now feels organized, functional and actually enjoyable to look at. I feel so much less stressed and overwhelmed when I walk into it. I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone who needs help not only organizing their closet, but also making better use of the wardrobe they already have.

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 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.

Andrea was an incredible guide in designing and implementing my gallery wall! I’ve been meaning to do this for years, and find it overwhelming to make choices and get it done. Andrea was the perfect solution for me — she helped me choose photos, suggested affordable frames based on my desired look, proposed an excellent source for photo printing, and then came over to install the photos. Highly recommend Andrea for any organization or design task on your list!

Stacey, Evanston IL

It may seem trite to say “there are no words sufficient enough to thank you” but I truly feel that. Your dedication and time spent were amazing. The best part, I learned a new skill and intend to use it. Thank you for such a special gift.
