When two strangers move together, there is a lot of thinking and organizing that needs to take place to harmonize two previously different ways of life. As a newlywed, Rhea Abahazy has hands-on experience with this transition.
Abahazy also has a knack for organizing, along with training as an interior designer and an entrepreneurial drive. When she moved to Lafayette a year ago with her new husband, she decided to launch her own business, Chaos Tamer, a service that provides professional organization and interior design for home and offices.
"I have always been organized, but it is something that can also be learned," says Abahazy, " It is part of the profession: adapt organization principles to each person, and decide, with them, what items really enhance their lives and which ones are holding them back and need to be let go."
Abahazy studied interior design at the Art Institute in San Francisco. She worked as an interior designer for an architectural firm in Oakland for many years before deciding to combine that experience with her natural talent for planning and organizing. "I have an inherent interest in how people dwell in the spaces they inhabit," she says.
Abahazy does not work with real hoarders who, she believes, need special attention. Her clients are normal people caught in the spiral of busy lives, who are sometimes dealing with emotional attachments to things when they downsize or become empty-nesters. "The amount of time (it takes to get organized) will depend on how decisive people are when it comes to parting from things," she says.
