Home Organizer
Free yourself from the growing TO-DO list in your life and during this holiday season. Let me help you:
* Relax – Cross items off your holiday to-do list while you enjoy time with your family.
* Restore Your Calm – Create order in your home and organize your living space.
* Start the New Year Renewed – Donate your unwanted and used items to charity. It feels good to give while you receive a tax deductible credit.
* Make a Difference – Transform a cluttered room or space into a cathartic experience.
As a home organizer, my clients trust me to de-clutter their living spaces and home offices, sell and donate items that they no longer need, and hire and supervise contractors and handymen. I also assist my clients with all aspects of moving including finding a moving company, setting up their utilities when they are at work, and packing and unpacking precious items.
For your holiday needs, I have experience researching and overseeing catering services for my clients' festive events, purchasing and wrapping their holiday presents, and mailing holiday cards to their friends and family before the New Year.
As a personal assistant for busy corporate mothers and for the co-founder of a growing non-profit organization, I efficiently completed a variety of tasks such as paying bills, filing health insurance claims, arranging cross country moves and travel, and shopping for their personal needs. I scheduled extracurricular activities for their children and assembled daunting information about private and reputable public schools into manageable packets. I also have experience finding and interviewing nannies and babysitters.

small room on Westminster for dog lover
We (J and L plus a dog) need a roommate. Read on:
The deal: We both work 9-5. We are looking for someone who doesn't work 9-5 and can give J's dog a midday walk. Perhaps an artist? a grad student? a writer? In exchange, we are offering a discounted rent. We don't know the exact rent yet, but it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $350-$375, plus your share of utilities (electricity, cooking gas, and internet).
The apartment: We are moving in on December 10, most likely. It's a 3-bedroom on the first floor of a house in Ditmas Park. The owners, who live upstairs, take very good care of it--it's nicely renovated with some details left in place. Living room, dining room, kitchen with dishwasher, front porch, lots of closet space, foyer for coats, shoes, and bikes. Wood floors. Sunlight.
The location: Ditmas Park. It's a neighborhood of big houses and big trees. The house is on Westminster Road near Avenue H. Very close to the Q train and not far from the B. Short walk to the good stuff on Cortelyou. More: ditmasparkblog.com.
The room: It's tiny, something like 7x7. But it has a window, a door, and a closet. It can definitely hold a full-sized bed and possibly even a queen, although not much else. Much could likely be accomplished with a loft bed. Of course, you are free to share the common spaces. There's room for your bike, books, kitchen stuff, etc, and a little furniture (depending).
Us: J works in book publishing. Liberal, novice baker, lover of craft beer, indie music, bad puns and baseball. Doggy parent. L is a graphic designer and illustrator. Vegetarian, lefty politics, maker of bad puns, loves children's books, vintage things, and nerdy board games. We are in our thirties and are not a couple. J's dog is an active 45-pound mix who likes squeaky toys and hugs.
Our household: We're members of the Ditmas Park CSA. We compost (in the neighborhood!) and frequently share meals. Sometimes we have friends over for dinner or board games. Visitors are generally welcome. We have a Netflix subscription but no TV or cable (at the moment--up for discussion). Have considered, but not implemented, a NY Times subscription. Non-smokers. Queer-friendly.
You: Dog lover. Non-9-5er. Able to commit to weekday dog-walking. Someone interested in making and sharing a home, not just occupying a room. Creative energy appreciated! Special note: We are happy with roommates anywhere on the gender spectrum, but J's dog is most at ease around women. Everyone is free to contact us, with that caveat. No additional pets, as that would be madness.

Dark Wood Dining Table with 6 Chairs for Sale
This lovely dark wood dining table seats six in its normal state but also has a leaf that allows the table to seat up to eight people. Unlike other extendable tables, the leaf is actually part of this furniture so you never have to worry about storing an extra board in your house or apartment when it's not in use.
It's 4'6"x3 when compact and 5'6"x3 with the leaf unfolded. I originally bought this table a year ago and it's in fantastic condition except for two or three cosmetic scratches on the top which could easily be fixed by a little light stain. I'm moving into a smaller place that can't accommodate the table, otherwise I'd never let it go!
I originally bought the table for $450 and have dropped the price down to $350 to give it a good home. Unfortunately I can't deliver this item but am happy to help you move it to your vehicle.
