Houston Profesional Organizer & Concierge // A Day in the Life


Another day in the life of a Houston professional organizer and concierge from some projects we worked on in January 2020. Every week is different, which we LOVE!

Monday, the 20th Martin Luther King Jr. Day



Helped a client in Westbury organize her closet. She is a teacher and had the day off and usually on school holidays and bank holidays I book up quickly because people have limited time off throughout the year. I wish I got a better before, but just imagine basically no place to walk in the closet. It took 2 of us 4.5 hours to do the closet. She did amazing and donated SO much!!

Tuesday, 21st



We helped a client get organized after they just moved to Montrose from Midland. I know I have mentioned this before, but when you work with a concierge / professional organizer we usually have a huge list of resources, well at least I do. Her movers weren’t great and didn’t unpack, so when she contacted me in a panic the day before we were to begin our organizing project I knew just the people to call to help them unpack. We do offer unpacking services, but sometimes it is easier to hire unpackers, so we can get straight to organizing. There were 2 organizers for 9 hours and we got them to a point of functioning. The kitchen, bedrooms, office and playroom area were all set up by the end of day.

Wednesday, 22nd



Today was mostly a day full of regular clients.
Did returns to Neiman Marcus and Kuhl Linscomb.
Updated a guest list for a client whose son is getting married this summer and she is hosting a shower in March.
Schedule various service people for a client in Piney Point.
Head to River Oaks to measure a client’s gunroom for custom shelf liner.
In Montrose to run errands for a regular client.
Then in The Heights to help a regular client I work with monthly and usually several times a month to help them stay organized. Many clients I work with monthly I go to their house while they are at work to maintain big projects that we have done.
Then off to my concierge meeting at Henderson & Kane.




Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th and all of the following week of the 27th

We were at Trellis, which is the spa at The Houstonian and they are shutting down while they do some renovations at Trellis. They are opening Solaya in Highland Village. We have been helping them prepare for their move by boxing up various items, organizing inventory, storage items, organizing all spaces at Solaya and the list goes on. You HAVE to go check out the new space, it is GORGEOUS. We had 4 different team members working tirelessly on this project and so happy about how everything turned out. I randomly saw clients in Highland Village because we were there all week and please excuse my deliriousness lol. 

This week was also mixed installing shelf liner and errands for regular clients. 

Saturday, the 25th




In West U helping a client get organized after moving into their new house. We focused on the kitchen, pantry, master bathroom, playroom and living room area (mainly styling the shelves and organizing the cabinets under the bookshelves. It took 2 of us 9 hours to go through and organize all of the spaces. 

Saturday, February 1st

Helping a regular client in The Heights with quarterly decluttering where we go throughout the whole house and purge. Very cathartic and a great way to start off the new year.

Eco Modern Concierge A Concierge in Houston: A Day in the Life January 2018


I thought I what do another installment of a day in the life post. Being a concierge company in Houston, TX I am always all over the place. Most of this is for a client that I used to work for regularly for over 6 years and this has been my routine for 2 days a week for sometime. Then it's mixed in with personal and picking up professional organizing supplies for projects. This was documented earlier in January 2018. What does a day in the life look like for you?


I started my day off with an amazing yoga class at the YMCA downtown.


Lunch on the go. 


I dropped off a package for my client. 


Whole Foods run. I go to Whole Foods and other grocery stores several times a week for so many of my clients.


This grocery list is used for many of my clients.


Checking out at Whole Foods.


I stop and pick up food at Field of Greens. Such nice folks that work there. 


Pat Greer is a great raw food chef here in Houston. The food is always fresh and SO good. 


Next stop. The Heights!


Juice Girl is the best juice place in Houston in my opinion. 



Recycling batteries and bulbs. 


HEB to pick up some items. 



After work carwash time. 


Heading to The Container Store to pick up some organizing items for. These are my favorite zip bags. 




Office Max to pick up some needed office supplies. I thought this pineapple bubble wrap was cute. 


I needed to get my car inspected and it took less then 10 minutes. Woohoo!


I recorded a short organizing video in the park across from where we used to live in Montrose.  It was a gloomy day.


Now happy hour with friends checking out Star Fish. SO good!!

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CONCIERGE IN HOUSTON: ECO MODERN CONCIERGE


I thought I would do another day in the life series. I always forget to document what I am doing, but on this day I remembered to. It was a relatively "light" day and I did forget to document the part where I dropped off donations to The Women's Home.


I had a consultation in Timbergrove Manor about an organizing project.


I had a client who was wanting a new orchid for her kitchen, so I stopped off at Whole Foods in Montrose and picked one up. She really likes the orchids from here. 


I had a meeting at Magpies and Peacocks to see their place and to go over doing some volunteering for them. 


I stopped off at Four Seasons for lunch because I was in the area. I don't go here often, but do love their food. It is super fresh.


When I was out of town Mariana at Hibiscus Linens was having a sale that I couldn't make, so she was kind of enough to put a shirt on hold for me. So I stopped by to pick it up. 


I unloaded a ton of items my client bought from the Nordstrom anniversary sale.


Workout gear closet organization for a client in Montrose.


Dry cleaning run for a client. Technically, I had already dropped off the clothes that were in these bags, but of course forgot to take a picture.


After work I met up with some NAPO Houston professional organizers at Cadillac Bar. 


Super fun! This isn't even everyone that was in attendance.
