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
Frequently Asked Questions
​Is your work confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is very important to us and we’ll never share your name or private details of your home with anyone. We may share anonymous before/ afters but only with your permission.
​
How long will the process take?
It can vary. The amount of work needed to be done and your speed in making decisions are two factors that will determine the time it takes to complete the project. During the consultation, we can give you an estimate of how long it could possibly take.
​
Do I have to get rid of things?
Not necessarily. While decluttering is a key part of the process, it often involves simply rearranging or temporarily storing some items to enhance your home's presentation. The goal is to create a more spacious and inviting environment without the need for major changes or getting rid of your belongings permanently. By strategically arranging your furnishings and décor, we highlight your home's best features, making it more attractive and marketable.
Do I have to buy all new decor to stage my home?
​​
No, you don't. We focus on using what you already have to create an appealing and organized space. We work with your existing furnishings and décor to highlight your home's best features, making it more attractive to potential buyers. While we may suggest minor additions or adjustments, our goal is to maximize your home's potential without requiring you to invest in all new decor.​​
How involved will I need to be in the process?
​​
We want to make the process as convenient and stress-free as possible for you. We take the lead in planning and executing the staging, using our expertise to arrange and enhance your space. When it comes to deciding what to keep, give away, toss, or pack up, yes- you have to make those decisions. We’ll ask questions initially to understand your goals, but then we’ll take it from there. We will keep you informed and consult with you as needed, ensuring that the process aligns with your vision and schedule. Our goal is to create an inviting and marketable home with minimal disruption to your daily life.
