CASE STUDY: Moving Services The Changing-Places team sorted, decluttered and packed these clients, moving from a 4,500 square foot home into a 1,300 square foot rental apartment while they built a home. Overwhelmed by the job, and dealing with an ill spouse, our client thought the job simply couldn’t be done. We cleared the space, edited, organize and orchestrated the sale and donation of many items.
We prepared the house in perfect order for a talented staging professional to transform the rooms into the elegant final product shown here.
