Kind words from Lexie

Working with Allegra has been a truly transformative experience. She has an incredible gift for creating spaces that not only look beautiful but feel joyful, calm, and deeply personal. I asked for help to refresh my bedroom, and the result exceeded every expectation I had. Allegra approaches organizing with so much care and intention. She didn’t just “tidy up” - she listened to how I wanted to feel in the space and thoughtfully helped me to let go of clutter while keeping what matters.

Her eye for design and flow turned my room into a peaceful retreat, one that reflects who I am and supports how I live. Every detail felt considered, from the layout to the storage solutions to the little touches that brought the room to life. What I appreciated most was how collaborative and judgment-free the process was. Allegra made it fun, empowering, and even emotional in the best way. If you’re looking to bring ease, clarity and joy into your home, I can’t recommend Allegra enough. She doesn’t just organize spaces  - she transforms them.

Kind words from Julie

Before I worked with Allegra, our house was filled with 30+ years of too many things from full lives. I found Allegra to be warm, energetic, full of great ideas and, most importantly, non-judgmental. She helped me see things in a new light. Although I’ll never reach Perfection, Allegra gave me the tools to keep moving toward the vision I have for our home.

Kind words from Sara

Allegra is not just a personal organizer. She gets to know the person behind the “stuff” and helps others see more clearly when it’s time to let go. Her calming, grounding presence and joyful, energetic spirit are a perfect blend to get the job done while respecting the process. She meets her clients’ needs. Whether it’s an efficient overhaul of too much junk, or an emotional clean out after a loss, she is ready to make it work for the needs of her clients.

Kind words from Lisa

Allegra was thoughtful, attentive to detail, and efficient. She really took the time to understand me and what I was looking for, and got right to work. She selected the perfect countertop, tile, grout, and paint to get my kitchen on the market for a quick sale. In another job, she reorganized my shelving to create a beautiful display of our family’s favorite items. Allegra has a gift for color, organization, and beautifying spaces. She is truly a joy to work with.

Kind words from Rene

As a person of a certain age – 82 – I look around my house at all of the “stuff” I have collected over the years and it is overwhelming! How do I motivate myself to get rid of “things” and to organize my home for the life I am living now? Enter, Allegra. As we focused on my study, we worked together very well and it was upbeat and moved right along.

She never pressured me about anything and I was so motivated to clear my space. I felt so light! As I looked at my formerly over-stuffed shelves, I couldn’t believe it. Not only did it look organized, but it put together related items I could find easily. Allegra is one of the most creative and action-oriented people I have ever met. She added flair to my space by taking favorite items and placing them on display – I loved it! She listens, asks great questions to help your decision making, transforms the space, and is an overall joy to work with.

Kind words from Wendy

On a very stressful moving day in November 2024, while my son and I were transporting boxes, Allegra unpacked and set up my kitchen, including lining all of the shelves. It was a life-giving and magical moment to come home and discover what she had done.

Thanks to Allegra, my teenaged son and I felt like we were starting off in our new place supported and blessed. What’s more, the organizational system Allegra put in place was smart and perfect. I still think of her regularly when I open a kitchen cabinet or drawer and see her handiwork! She has a natural talent for organizing, advising, and setting up home spaces so they are calm and inviting.

Kind words from Jim

Recently I was fortunate enough to enjoy the decluttering, downsizing and organizing services of Allegra Haupt. As an older person needing these services, I am writing to recommend her  highly in these roles. Allegra and I spent a number of hours in which I sat and she selected items for my decision; these included tools, paints, model-making supplies, office items, and more.

I was impressed not only with Allegra’s friendliness and ease with me as a client, but especially with her energy and enthusiasm. She likes to work quickly, yet I never felt rushed; so add patience to the list of qualities. I really enjoyed our time of working together, and I think you would be fortunate to benefit from Allegra’s talents and go-getter spirit.

Kind words from Maya

Allegra has a true talent for thinking about space and organization.  She has helped me several times now - sorting many years of collections in my basement, rearranging and organizing bookshelves in my living space, etc.  She has an eye for beauty and simplicity.  I felt such a positive hopefulness as she worked with me. 

She honors the personal meaning of my household items while respectfully suggesting ways to purge and declutter.  Best of all, she is strong, moves quickly once a decision is made, and even left with the things for donation!  I can't wait to have her back for more!

Kind words from Stacy

My husband and I love to entertain, but our home had become an embarrassment because of all the accumulated clutter. Nearly every drawer, closet, and cabinet in our house was overflowing, and boxes of stuff crowded our bedrooms. It was depressing. After several failed attempts to declutter on my own, it felt like a hopeless situation. 

Then along came Allegra! She was respectful, non-judgmental, and sensitively walked me through all of the emotional aspects of dispossessing. She has an incredible amount of positive energy and organizational skill. Within weeks, we had gone through our entire house, basement and garage. The experience has been life-changing and I feel as though Allegra has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders.

Kind words from Phoebe

Allegra enters your space like a gentle, refreshing breeze and leaves order and beauty in her wake! She is a wonderful listener and communicator, and she has the remarkable ability to make you feel seen and heard while being incredibly efficient and effective. Dealing with one’s material possessions and personal space can be emotional and vulnerable.

Allegra helped me see my physical environment with a whole new lens: a big picture perspective on the flow, organization, and aesthetics within my home. After a session with her, I felt energized and empowered to take charge of my surroundings and my stuff - I was so motivated, I went on to complete multiple organizational projects that I had been avoiding for years! She will meet you right where you are and guide you through a process that truly brings a lasting sense of freedom and peace in your home.
