Simplify615 is a home organization company that helps clients, truly, get it together. Brentwood neighbors and friends, Lauren Thurman and Courtney Fraser-Mason, met a few years back when Courtney moved just across the street. Simplify615 founder Lauren, born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, worked as a licensed clinical social worker, serving grieving children and families through a local nonprofit hospice in Nashville after attending Vanderbilt. Born and raised in western Canada, Courtney has become all too familiar with the moving process over the course of her life.
Courtney says her constant, long-distance moves necessitated a minimalist lifestyle, but settling in for a few years in Brentwood had led to a well-known struggle — the overwhelming accumulation of stuff. The chaos of 2020 led Lauren to look for what was next professionally, and with that plus a desire to nurture her creative side, plus a lifelong knack for organization — Simplify615 was born. The two women agree that it’s in their DNA to help others.
"Creating order out of the chaos of everyday life grounds me, and the opportunity to share this joy and peace of mind with others sounds like the perfect job for me. I'm passionate about helping others in a way that I can relate to," explains Courtney. "Sorting through clutter can be overwhelming, and this is where a helping hand can move mountains. Whether it’s organizing a closet, a pantry or a junk drawer, eliminating unneeded 'stuff' in our lives helps us to make room for what’s important, literally and figuratively. We're here to help you make decisions about what to keep and how to keep it well, so you can focus on what really matters."
The Simplify615 team say they provide personalized home organization services to create functional, enjoyable spaces for their clients. Many people don't know where to start when it comes to home organization, and Simplify615 helps break the process down by helping customers select a starting point and focus for their home organization projects. Then, they divide projects into manageable steps and solutions.
Simplify615 helps edit out items no longer loved or needed, then organize those items into categories and store them in beautiful storage solutions for easy maintenance.
Lauren certainly understands the importance of meeting each client exactly where they are. "We love helping people in this way so much. When people respond to it and feel like they’ve been helped, it truly makes my day."
The two offer a few steps for those looking to start their own home organization projects:
- Start small. That’s one of our main things. Start small, choose a corner or a specific item like shoes, and go from there.
- Use all of your vertical space. Using all your closet space up to the ceiling in the form of shoe bins, hanging hats, etc. Using vertical space helps keep clutter off of the floor and maximize small space.
