Tidy Spaces

Tidy Spaces Organizing and decluttering services to help make your space more functional. This did not stop me from continuing to organize spaces.

I'm here to help ease the process of letting go and to walk beside you on this journey to take back your life by taking back your space! My name is Josie Hickey and I am a mother, sister, friend, lover of all living things, peacekeeper, artist, empath, and (the reason you are reading this) professional organizer. As I continue to grow both spiritually and professionally this list will continue to

expand. All of these identities are important to me for they all contribute to who I am and what I offer to the world and those around me. Ever since I can remember I have felt the desire to adjust the world around me, inviting a more natural flow of energy. As a young child this consisted of picking up a friend's bedroom or playroom anytime I was invited over for a playdate or sleepover. My mind could not focus on creating an imaginary world until the physical space I was in had a positive flow of energy. The moment I see a space for the first time my brain is putting things in proper zones and eliminating the things that take up unnecessary space. For years I was teased for having OCD tendencies and believed I was just plain weird. In high school and college I would offer to help organize an instructor's classroom. Anytime I was hired somewhere I would organize the closets, drawers, storage spaces, and anything else I saw that could use some organization. When everything has its own place it's easier to find items as you need them rather than having to take up precious time searching through piles of clutter and I’m sure we can all agree that an organized space just looks better. Over the years I finally came to understand that my desire to organize a space was one of my great talents. Not only did organizing clear my mind and help me focus but it also provided me with the gift of helping those around me find that same clarity. With this new acceptance of my talent I decided to start my own business doing just that, helping others find their inspiration and peace beneath the piles of clutter taking up their personal space. When we allow items to overcrowd our physical space we invite anxiety, depression, and debilitating thought patterns into our mental space. Organizing and decluttering our physical world helps remove mental clutter, inviting clarity and peace back into our lives and giving us the energy needed to get through our busy days. Tidy Spaces offers organizing and decluttering services that can help make life a little easier for you. Decluttering consists of me assisting you with purging items in your space you no longer have a use for or simply finding them a better placement. Organizing consists of finding just the right spot for those items in your home that never seem to fit anywhere. I can assist in cleaning out and organizing closets, drawers, cupboards, any space you need help with along with revamping those "collect all" rooms that seem to collect all of the misfit items in your home. If you are ready to get organized and take back your life, send me a message today. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to learn a bit about me and the services I offer!

I will be in the Great Bend area most of next week (12th - 17th ish) so if anyone in Barton county has been thinking about reaching out now would be the time to get that complimentary consultation set up! 🗓✅✔

These last around 30 minutes and are painless. We simply walk through the space you are seeking guidance on and talk briefly about your goals. ☺️☺️☺️

The best part is you get compassionate support and validation with no obligation to purchase anything 🤗 💕 ❤

Please share with your friends in the area so they dont miss out!!

I just love this Monica meme! I may not have won an award but I can definitely relate to her personality when it comes to cleaning 😂😂😂

“When home feels out of control, no matter what the reason, unsettledness and anxiety can seep in, and then the chaos becomes internal as well as external.”


This quote explains the relationship between our external and mental space very well. I preach all the time about how our physical space directly affects our mental well being. A chaotic home space equals an unsettled and anxious mind.


So if our physical space contributes to our mental well being wouldn't that also mean our physical space reflects our mental space?.........YES!


When we are navigating big or heavy emotions our physical energy often fades away, leaving us feeling unmotivated, tired, run down, stretched thin, overwhelmed, more emotional…..stuck!


We have all been there!


That is what you see in these before pictures. This family had been hit hard with heavy emotions after losing a loved one. Not only had they taken on the task of navigating these emotions but also the task of finding a proper home for inherited items.


The daughter's bedroom had become overrun with large sentimental furniture leaving little space for play. Thus making it difficult to keep the room clean, with no proper toy space.


Shifting the layout of the bedroom made a huge difference in space! Items hanging on the walls were left as is per request. Toys were downsized and placed in open bins to make cleanup easier. Bins with lids sometimes make clean up more complicated for children. The open bins also prevent loose lids being tossed around the room during play time (I may do a Tidy Tuesday post soon to go more in depth on this).


If you have any questions about my process or about how to start in your own space please feel free to message me anytime!! I do not charge for messaging back and forth and would love to assist you the best I can!

Virtual services are not as complicated and overwhelming as one may think.

They are quite the opposite....offering ease, comfort, and support!

Virtual services offer you a gentle voice of encouragement and support. A simple "yes that is trash" or "yes that serves your overall goals for the space" can go a long way!

Simply having someone there to validate your emotions surrounding your space can ease the process of taking back your space!

Virtual services can look however your time, goals, and emotions need them to look ❤️❤️❤️

They also make great gifts for loved ones!

If you have a space weighing you down or diminishing your motivation message me today so we can get your spark back!

I’ve got some before and after photos for you!!

This was my biggest project yet for Tidy Spaces, taking a full week to complete! It was a fun challenge and gave me lots of new ideas for future projects. Explore Great Bend, KS

Pssst…..If you own a business or manage a business and could use some help getting your workspace, back room, office, etc. organized I would love a new challenge! Tidy Spaces offers a variety of services, providing guidance in both your professional and personal space.

There were multiple goals with this space.
- Move all informational pamphlets, magazines, ext. to one location
- Create a clear functional system to house this information
- System must: be easy to follow and allow for adjustments as information changes
- Designate a space for event items to be stored
- Designate a space for trade show items
- Designate a space for Christmas decor
- Designate a space for giveaway items
- Create open space for volunteers to gather and assist in filling informational bags

They were in the process of moving to a remodeled section of the building and other tasks just kept taking precedence. The items were strung between eight different rooms and needed to be gathered into proper zones. Informational pamphlets and magazines needed to be categorized by local, surrounding counties, and other parts of KS. When designating zones on the shelving units I had to keep in mind the weight of what was going in each bin. Smaller bins on the very top shelves would be a lot easier to take down then the bigger bins. I also wanted to ensure that any system I put into place would be easy for multiple staff members to follow and keep up with.

My favorite part of this project was the magnetic labeling system I came up with (pictured below). The client wanted a functional system for both daily use and for when volunteers came in to help prepare for events.
- the clear bins make it easy to see the information quickly
- handles make them easier to lift
- the shape of the bins allowed us to utilize maximum shelf space
- the colored magnets make it easy to find the overflow boxes below when it comes time to refill the clear bins
- magnets can also be moved easily to adjust the system as information changes
- the numbers (numbers on clear bins not pictured) allow staff to easily place bins back on the proper shelf once finished utilizing the bin

Please check out the before and after photos to see how Tidy Spaces reached all of the clients goals.

If you would like guidance on your personal or professional space please feel free to send me a message to set up your complimentary consultation.
