I hired Melissa (Your Joyful Space owner) to revamp the childcare area I use for my business. Melissa’s vision for a beautiful, joyous space is only surpassed by her ability to flawlessly execute that vision. Within a week, Melissa took what had been a very cluttered and disorganized space and transformed it into a relaxing, beautiful oasis for our children. The changes she implemented noticeably impacted how well our children are now able to rest, learn and play in our space. She accomplished this with a small budget but huge vision, having a unique ability to bring those two pieces together. I would highly recommend her services to both residential and commercial clients.

I made a terrible mistake I left my review for Melissa Barlow on the wrong site. I have no experience with the other company. Melissa has brought me through so much and as you can see I have a little farther to go. There are not enough words to describe her God given skills, compassion, empathy. She looks at a room and sees things others do not.. i am so sorry for the error

I’ve always been good at office organization. Home? Not so much. When I moved into my new house in May, I knew I needed help. I had gone from a 1700 sq ft house to a 700 sq ft apartment and now to a 2500 sq ft house. Everything was chaos and I had no idea how to use the space I had. Melissa was a god send! She came in and help me assess what I had and how it would best fit in my space, functionally. She taught me skills for how to sort and get rid of items that were taking up valuable space. She also taught me how to organize different items in drawers, which I’ve been able to carry over into every part of the house. She even had my 4 and 7-year-old organizing their drawers and using the special folding methods, making getting ready time in the morning much less stressful! In the kitchen, she helped me figure out where thing should go to give me the most function in the space, taking into account counter space and how kitchens are typically used, even pointing out where you’re most likely to need space to put your plate down! My bedroom is my favorite part. I don’t have a closet, so it was really difficult for me to figure out where to put all the things that would normally go in a closet. I had overflowing drawers and disastrous cube shelves. Melissa helped me figure out how to rearrange the furniture so that I could use a portion of my room as a closet. The result still gives me peace every time I look at it. My closet-less room looks like it has a designer closet, complete with lighting and cute baskets and the perfect place for my giant floor to ceiling mirror. Everything has its place and it looks SO neat and clean. I didn’t know it was possible to organize my room to this degree. Melissa came in at just the right time to help ease the transition into our new home. Our space is calm, peaceful, and easy to maintain. I highly recommend her for any organizing needs!

I did a workshop with Melissa through my Yelp group and it was so insightful. Shes so personable. And explains her process to help us eliminate clutter and to understand why we have it in the first place. I really enjoyed her approach to discovering what makes us hold into things and she showed me some new ways to organize my things to make the space open up and bring me more job.
