my story
I’m Darice Heyns, born and raised in South Africa and now living in Lake Oswego for over 22 years.
I originally came to America to work as an occupational therapist and decided a few years ago to transfer my skills and love for organizing, to becoming a professional home organizer.
I started ORDE because I wanted to combine my skills as and occupational therapist with my passion for organizing and style, using my abilities to create spaces with are both functional and stylish.
My mission as a luxury home organizers to not only assist clients with decluttering and organizing, but to take it a step further and create a home that clients are excited to return to every day.
I achieve this by using a 3 step method:
Eliminate Clutter - Establish Order - Elevate Surroundings.

my why
Have you ever entered the lobby of a 5 star hotel and just felt miserable? Of course not! You probably felt a number of positive emotions as you entered that warm, inviting and aesthetically pleasing space.
What if you could recreate that feeling when you walked into your own home?
Our homes are where we spend the majority of our time and the vast majority of our money, so why would we not make the beautification of our homes a priority?

my how
There are many wonderful home organizers who help their clients declutter and organize their homes. I take it a step further and curate a space that is elegant, inspiring and a joy to come home to. A home where you feel inspired to take every day living up a notch or two by incorporating some of the elements that make upscale hotels, places we yearn visit.
I do this by helping my clients declutter and only keep what truly reflects their style. I then organize the home in a way that is practical and manageable but also stylish and beautiful.
Next is the cherry on the top where we elevate living to another level by adding special elements and establishing lifestyle management tasks to enable clients to feel like a special guest in their own homes.

“Darice is lovely! She helped organize my office space for my business. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Darice is so talented, kind and helpful!!! She helped us organize our playroom and all of our kid toys/books, and helped create a system to be able to maintain it long term. I can’t wait to have her back to help other parts of our home.”
“Darice was wonderful at helping me prepare our home and organize it before our twins arrived.First we went through our house and I shared what my desires and hopes for our home were. As we went, Darice shared her insight and ideas. Darice was key at helping us organize all of our office supplies into one location (instead of several throughout our home).She also helped me dream and come up with a plan…

Each organizer has their own unique personality and style. I myself am an intuitive empath who offers a very individualized and custom experience.If you are more of an introvert or HSP ( highly sensitive person ), you are most likely not going to feel comfortable with a team of type A people coming into your home with a high energy vibe. I work solo and bring a calm energy to the experience.
-
Oh, I am the same, so I completely understand. I am very respectful of people’s privacy and maintain the strictest confidentiality. After years of adhering to HIPPA privacy laws in healthcare, it has become second nature to me. I am also FBI background checked and value honesty and trust.
-
I require payment upfront before scheduling an organizing session. I bill clients through Wave and I accept payment via Wave, Venmo, cash or check. When being reimbursed for products purchased , I add an additional percentage to recoup the transaction fee.
-
Payment is due upfront and we can discuss which package best suits your needs. Packages are non refundable and not transferable to other people.
Cancellations within 48 hours of scheduled sessions will result in a forfeiture of 2 organizing hours. Chronic cancellations will result in further packages not being offered.
I do understand that sickness and unforeseen circumstances happen and I will always be reasonable.

Organized and neat are two different things.Sometimes an organized space gets messy because the habit of neatness is not fully established or life just happens. I offer maintenance sessions for clients who have had their spaces organized by me. These are scheduled once or twice a month or more if needed. because they are prescheduled, clients get priority booking.
I tidy up and organize any new items. This service includes holiday decorating, gift wrapping and creating beautiful tablescapes.
