By George, She’s Got It

The Bite

Is keeping your place organized as elusive as, say, a proper British accent? Fret not, m’fair lady - Linette George is up to the challenge. Her Lombard-based Get Organized by George service will tidy up your pad without inconveniencing you or the earth. After rooms and closets are shipshape, Linette handles the heavy lifting. Old catalogs and electronics? Recycled, of course. Unwanted clothing and furniture? Properly donated. Pricing is on a case-by-case basis, but we’d pay more than a tuppence for one of her signature “personalized recycling centers,” a designated spot with discreet bins for max efficiency. From mess (see “before” photo) to success…even Henry Higgins would approve.
