Does the thought of downsizing your home feel overwhelming?

Whether you’re moving to a smaller space, helping a loved one transition, or looking to simplify, we're here to help.

We understand that downsizing is more than just letting go of belongings; it’s about honoring the memories you've made while embracing a simpler, more manageable future.

Our team is committed to providing compassionate, personalized service that makes this transition easier. We take the time to understand your goals and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

What you may be feeling...

The thought of downsizing can bring up a range of emotions.

You may feel overwhelmed by the idea of sorting through years of memories or even uncertain about how to start.

Letting go of sentimental items can be tough, and the fear of change or the unknown can make the process feel daunting.

But you don’t have to go through it alone.

Our team understands these feelings and works with care and compassion to help you navigate this journey with ease, respect, and a renewed sense of peace.

How can help:

Personalized Consultation: We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your needs, preferences, and timeline. This helps us craft a custom downsizing plan that fits your lifestyle.

Sorting & "Right Sizing": Our professional organizers will work closely with you to sort through your belongings, helping you decide what to keep, donate, sell, or discard.

Home Setup in Your New Space: Once you’ve downsized, we help arrange your new home to maximize functionality and comfort, ensuring your new space is organized, clutter-free, and feels like home.

Donation & Disposal Services: We take the hassle out of getting rid of unwanted items. Whether donating to charity, recycling, or arranging for proper disposal, we ensure everything is handled responsibly.

Emotional Support: Downsizing can be an emotional process. We’re not just here to organize your things—we’re here to listen, support, and make the process as smooth as possible.

Meet Heidi

I'm Heidi Sawyer, the founder and lead organizer at Makes Sense.

My passion for home organization and beautiful design has been with me since childhood. I also co-own a residential painting company (Sawyer's Painting) here in Spokane, Washington, and run a coaching business with my husband and fellow coach, Ryan. With over seven years as a mindset and neuro coach with IHP Coaching, I've empowered many women to overcome mental and emotional barriers to live their desired lives.

As a mother, I understand the importance of creating systems that everyone in the household can easily follow to maintain a tidy and organized space. Home organization is more than just stylish containers; it involves decluttering, breaking through emotional attachments to our belongings, and learning to make confident, empowered decisions. Starting with your physical space can create more room for what truly matters.

I am dedicated to assisting women in creating a peaceful and manageable home, allowing them to cherish motherhood and pursue their passions. In addition to organizational services, I continue to coach women on deeper mental and emotional tools at IHP Coaching. Let's work together to transform your home and life

"I enjoy helping my clients downsize and transition to a new chapter of their story."
