We’d like to introduce you to Danielle Schuster owner of Tedious To Tidy- home organizing.
Hi Danielle, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My husband and I moved to Dallas in 2021, and we now have a beautiful 14-month-old baby girl. I’ve been an entrepreneur all my life, running a successful performing company in CA for nine years, giving private singing lessons, and even managing a popular YouTube channel.
When we moved to Dallas, we wanted to start a family, and I wanted a new journey that I could enjoy as a mom while serving other families. During our transition, I helped a family by organizing their home and assisting the mom in any way I could. She mentioned that a friend of hers had a career in organizing and suggested I reach out to her for advice on starting my own company.
I’m so grateful that I did because now I’ve found my purpose, calling, and passion! I love helping families take control of their spaces and regain quality time with their loved ones, free from the stress of clutter. It truly is the best job ever!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There has definitely been struggles! Organizing in someone’s home is so personal. You really have to be sensitive and caring to be an organizer. You work alongside your clients and you get to guide them through some difficult things. Letting go of items that no longer serve them and even counseling them through why it’s okay to do so. Some of my longest clients have become wonderful friends!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m all about making a space both functional and beautiful. While I love creating aesthetically pleasing spaces, my focus is on functionality and ensuring the whole family can maintain the system. A well-organized system should allow you to tidy up your home in minutes, not hours.
One of my favorite spaces to organize is the pantry. It’s often the easiest place to start because clients are usually ready to get rid of expired food and unused kitchen items. Organizing in the heart of the home gets my clients ready and excited to tackle more challenging projects!
Any big plans?
I’m always looking for ways to expand my business and improve it. Recently, I’ve started working with Airbnb hosts in Dallas to help set up their homes for success—not just for the guests, but also for the housekeepers and owners. With so many different people coming in and out, it’s crucial to have a system everyone can follow. We achieve this by labeling drawers and maintaining a spreadsheet of everything in the home.
