The Placed Chicago Blog

Welcome

Hi, I’m Heather — behind Placed Chicago. I’ve helped hundreds of families across Chicago and the North Shore pack up, edit down, stage, move, and settle in. I’ve seen the overwhelm, the emotion, and the relief that comes when it all comes together.

This blog is where I share what I’ve learned — honest, practical advice on home organizing, decluttering, staging, and moving that you can actually use. No fluff, no perfection, just real tips from two people who do this every single day and genuinely love it.

Whether you’re getting ready to list, staring down a big move, tackling that room you’ve been avoiding for three years, or helping a parent downsize — you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair. I’ve got you.

xo,

Heather
