a feeling of Space
How do you want your home to feel?
When you walk through the front door of your home how do you want to feel?
Clearing and decluttering is not just about getting rid of things you no longer use; it’s about inviting in fresh energy, flow, and connections.
When you create a feeling of space, you awaken a sense of possibility, and signal that you are ready for growth and expansion.
As you fine-tune your physical environment you begin to consciously create a home you love to live in.
Whether you want your space to feel lighter or more luxurious, restful or energizing, I’d love to help you create the home you desire.

When is the right time to reach out?
When a new phase of your life is beginning, and you want your possessions and the space that surrounds you to reflect that change.
Perhaps you’d like to invite more calm, creativity, or connection into your life.
Or you may be on the verge of downsizing, moving or renovating, putting your home on the market, or getting ready to Airbnb.
You might have the time to make changes gradually or you might be on a tight timetable. We can work together at whatever speed you need.
Clear, declutter, wardrobe revamp, storage tidy, home office overhaul, Airbnb set-up, and more.
My services
Clear + declutter
Where are the areas in your home that feel cluttered or blocked? Perhaps you can’t face looking in the junk room any longer. Need your pantry or home office to function better? Want to make room for a creative pursuit, a tenant, or guests?
Wardrobe revamp
Can never find the clothes you want? Know you have more than you need but find it hard to cut back? Downsized and need your wardrobe to work in a smaller space? This service is for you.
Downsizing assistance
There’s no denying downsizing is a challenging process. You may be sifting through a lifetime of treasures and trying to decide what to keep and what will work in a different space. Sometimes it all has to happen on a tight timetable. You don’t have to tackle it alone.
Storage spruce-up
There are items in your garage or storage unit you no longer need. Or perhaps you want the space to function more efficiently. There’s help at hand.
Moving house
A move is on the cards or you’re about to renovate. Help with packing and/or unpacking can make the process run smoothly.
Putting your place on the market
The time has come to put your home on the market. Increase its appeal by simplifying and packing away personal items.
Getting ready to Airbnb
You want to pop your home on the short-term rental market and need help putting away precious items, depersonalising the space, and making it guest ready.

Client Stories
Jody, Northern Rivers, NSW
Jody’s house had been flooded and was being rebuilt. To help fund the rebuild she and her teenage daughter were moving into the downstairs part of the house, which was still a work in progress. She listed the upstairs on Airbnb and secured a booking for a couple of months.
My aim was to help her feel positive about the time in the downstairs unfinished space and to create something that was not just functional but beautiful and enhancing as well. Read more
Genevieve, Melbourne, VICTORIA
Genevieve was very competent and accomplished in her professional life. About to take up a new executive role in regional Victoria, she wanted to streamline the stuff that had piled up in three storage units.
When she rang to organise my help she sounded somewhat panicked. She told me: “I’ve tried to do it myself and I just can’t do it.” Read more
Angela, Sydney, NSW
Angela had a week to completely empty her father’s two-bedroom unit in a retirement village before she returned to her home interstate. His need for additional care meant he was moving to an aged care facility.
Like most people facing a similar situation, Angela was feeling the pressure, particularly since only three months earlier she had been through a similar process with her mother. She felt stressed and exhausted and she had only just begun. Read more
Harriet, Melbourne, VICTORIA
In her early 70s Harriet was single and her two children lived nowhere nearby.
With a renovation on the drawing board, she decided the time had come to cull her collection of books that filled an entire wall of a spare room. The goal was to let go of most of them and only keep a special few. Read more
Cara, Sydney, NSW
Cara and her husband had just returned to their Sydney home after living in India for several years. As they moved back into their home they were sifting through items that had been sitting in storage and consolidating things they had accumulated while they were in India. Read more
Bob, Melbourne, VICTORIA

About me
Hi! I’m Christine!
I’ll let you into a secret: I haven’t always been a naturally neat person. Growing up I shared a room with my sister. My side was messy and chaotic. Hers neat and tidy.
Fortunately, something shifted as I got older: I learned to appreciate simplicity and things having their place. Now I love having a home that feels nurturing and harmonious.
Opening my doors to Airbnb guests helped me hone the skills of making a space feel intentional and inviting, simple without being stark. It gives me great pleasure to be hospitable and invite people into my home without having the stress of the big clean-up beforehand.
I regularly make changes at home: moving on furniture that is showing its age, introducing items that will function better, donating or discarding clothing, books, and kitchenware that I’m no longer using, selling or passing on things that may be useful to someone else. That way the things that surround me reflect who I am and my life today.
Now I love sharing these skills with other people who need a hand or want to achieve a lot in a short time. I enjoy meeting people and bring my empathetic listening skills, intuition, and love of interiors to every job.
My aim is to help you create a home you love to live in and to give you a feeling of space that is open and expansive.
I’d love to meet you soon,
Christine Long
