“To simply say “Thank-You” just seems so inadequate right now I would like you both to know how much you have done for me with respect to my relocation”to the Sumach.
So thank-you for coming to my rescue and easing not only the packing, but for your great suggestions which I am taking “Under Advisement:)
Once again, heartfelt thank-you and I hope we meet for lunch at the Sumach soon.”

“The Art of Order came to our rescue! We had one week to get our house decluttered and ready to sell and then 2 months to pack up 34 years’ worth of memories and belongings to move to a smaller space. I was paralyzed by the enormity of it, and physically totally not up to the task. Fortunately our real estate agent told us about The Art of Order, and Toby and Anne galloped in to the rescue. They patiently, efficiently, respectfully plowed through our house, room by room, drawer by drawer, floor by floor, sorting what we would keep, put in storage, give away, or throw away. They rearranged everything to show our house at its best–they had such good ideas about what would appeal to potential buyers. We met what I thought was totally impossible deadlines, and they made our house look fantastic. I will forever be grateful to these two amazing ladies for what they did for us, and the kindness with which they did it.”

“Toby and Anne have a gift for presenting a home in its best light!
I’ve relied on them several times to prepare and present my various clients’ homes, be they house or Condo – Toby and Anne get it right.
I happily encourage anyone needing someone with a good eye to contact The Art of Order – I certainly will again!”

“Dear Toby and Anne, Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! Jeff loves the “new” furnace room. Now when I head down to the basement, I feel lighter and don’t have a pit in my stomach…amazing! All the best to you both. Enjoy the holidays! ”

Note: Andrea made a great goal for herself in the winter of 2021. She wanted to re-decorate her living room in 2022. She disliked the state of her basement ,so used her project as a deadline to make before commencing her more exciting living room redesign. She made a plan with us to organize her basement first and not start redecorating until she was totally done. It only took 3 sessions. It was so special for us because we love helping clients reach their goals!

“We moved from a large apartment on February 3, 2018. I am a disabled 67 year old woman. After the boxes were empty, we were dismayed by the looming task of storing our belongings. I used the internet to find professional organizers. Toby & Anne visited for a free, 1/2 hour evaluation. We agreed on terms & arrived the next morning.
Today, EVERY item in our 700 square foot apartment has a place ! All are labelled (until we become used to where things are)
It was a pleasure to hear their friendly interaction and I was encouraged with gentle humour to keep going! The experience was 100 % positive. ”

“Toby and Anne have been my “go to” for several years and for several good reasons. I wouldn’t list a property without them. Their suggestions, their work ethic, their professionalism, their consideration and kindness to my clients and their brilliant skill in preparing a house for the market.”

“Toby and Anne have a gift for presenting a home in its best light! I enjoy watching this amazing team in action and I have been completely awestruck each and every time. My personal recommendation is the Art of Order, to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, carefree and fun experience. My clients love them both!”

“We hired Toby and Anne from “The Art of Order” to pack our kitchen and all of our artwork for a move from Toronto to Burlington. The kitchen packing went smoothly and orderly with all boxes marked clearly. The artwork was beautifully wrapped and boxed with each piece noted on the outside packaging. We recommend this company to anyone who wants to save themselves the hard work and frustration of packing for a move”

“I loved how they worked with my decor and pulled together a subdued but elegant, livable space, without any disruption or drama. I highly recommend Toby and Anne, they are the essence of what it is to be a professional. I will keep them on my speed dial.”

“Toby MacPhee and Anne Donald are the principles of The Art of Order, a professional organizing company that helps seniors, like my mom, Pat, downsize. Toby and Anne created a design plan to make a much smaller space seem pleasant and familiar for my mom. They did the gathering, packing, and installation of everything Pat moved to her new home. After Pat moved to her new home, Toby and Anne began the second phase of the project, wading through and leading a massive excavation and decluttering of Pat’s home and preparing it for sale. Toby and Anne have already shown their mettle, handling my mom’s resistance oh so tactfully. Toby brings a degree from OCAD and Anne is a retired lawyer; together they bring wide-ranging skill sets, plus a lot of grace and finesse.”

“I was standing in my office this morning and felt so good to have everything looking so spiffy. It’s as if my life has meaning. You’re Outstanding! Thanks to you both for your wonderful work. You succeeded.”

“I recently had to get my house ready to sell with an active 10-month old underfoot and absolutely could not have done it without Toby and Anne. They came in and did EVERYTHING, I like that they kept pictures of my family around and incorporated other personal touches throughout. I would definitely make Toby and Anne my first call the next time I need to stage a house in Toronto.”

“I have lived in my house for eight years, and in the matter of a few hours, Toby and Anne transformed my entire living space. Their eye for detail, efficient and organized approach to showcasing the best features of my home was completed effortlessly.

“Can’t thank-you enough. The staging was a huge part of its success – 122% of sale price achieved.”
