Organizing, Curating and Cleaning Homes in Seacoast NH and Southern Maine

We collaborate with you to make sense of the function and flow of your home.

We listen carefully to your needs and take thoughtful action, offering you a new perspective on your current space.

A refreshed and functional home does not require matching containers in the pantry for grains and rice and cereal, it does not require exclusively wooden toys and white countertops and stainless steel appliances.  It does require intentional design, straightforward systems, attention and maintenance, all of which Lightened Homes can provide.

Hi, We are Holly & Celie!

As co-owners of Lightened Homes LLC,

we’re here to create ease

in both your home and mind.

our clients come to us at various stages of life including:

  • Retiring and downsizing

  • Caring for growing children

  • Moving to a new home

  • Senior living transitions

  • Welcoming a baby

  • Empty nesting

  • Estate managing

  • Starting or operating a small business  

Close your eyes and picture the kind of room, or house, or space you’d like to live in.  What does it look like?  What does it feel like? 

Chances are, if you’ve found our website, this vision doesn’t exactly match your current reality. 

We can help bridge that gap.  We have a lot of lived experience, both professionally and personally, in the practices of organizing and maximizing spaces, displaying and celebrating the beautiful objects that bring joy and effectively tucking away the necessary objects that contribute to the function of your house.

A well organized home requires paying attention to what’s serving you and what’s working against you.

Let’s say you have small children and busy schedules, you work, have to make dinner every single night, and pick up the same things off the floor (which, wait, how long has it been sticky?). You are so deep in the routine of your hectic, full life that you can’t see what’s getting between you and an easier flow. 

+ We are good at identifying rough spots and implementing effective systems that will help smooth them out.

Or maybe you have been in the same space for many years, have accumulated more things than you know what to do with and want to refresh your space to better reflect who you are now. 

+ We can help you sort through what is serving you and what is getting between you and a lighter existence, and then give practical advice on how best to use and arrange what you already have. 

Or maybe you or a loved one are entering a new stage of life and downsizing to a smaller space, and the task of sorting through a lifetime’s worth of accumulated things seems insurmountable.

+ Between the two of us, we have moved many times and are well versed in purging, packing, moving and making a new space feel like home.
