Welcome to
Operation Organize!


Is there a location you walk by in your home completely overwhelmed and say, “I have got to get this organized?  Where do I even start?!”  Well I am here to help!


I specialize in creating space where there isn’t any! My passion is to take what seems to be impossible areas to organize, and turn them into breathtakingly crisp, clear, and efficient spaces!

Experiencing the benefits of organized living finds you saving precious time and money from constantly searching for long lost items or buying something again because you didn’t realize that you had not one…but three of that item already!

I get the pleasure of witnessing long-lost treasures being found, seeing the look of pure amazement on a client’s face as they see their new space for the first time, and watching the overwhelming weight lift from their shoulders as they see that it was all possible.  This all brings an indescribable amount of joy to me!

Giving me the opportunity to experience my passion of organizing, allows you the opportunity to spend time doing what you are truly passionate about.

                                Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

I offer organization of any room, shed, or garage. I also organize photos, paperwork, or basically anything you can think of! It never hurts to ask, so ask away!

I’m interested in your services, so what’s the next step?

Send a message on the main page of the website, call, text, or reach out on my Facebook Page.  We can set up a time to talk or arrange a time for us to meet to schedule a walk-through of what you would like to have organized. If you want to be able to get an approximate estimate ahead of time, you can also send me pictures. We will then discuss project cost based off of your needs and wants.

What is the process in organizing my space?

Once we have talked about where you would like to start, we can discuss what you envision most with the space. If you have no idea what that is, this is where I can offer multiple suggestions and based off of your response, will be able to visualize what you truly want. First I will clear the space by separating each item into categories, such as: auto, electrical, holidays, home décor, home repair, sports, tools, etc.  If there is anything that doesn’t “fit,” into one of these categories, I will ask you if it is something that you want to keep, donate, recycle, trash, or shred.  I will never discard anything without your approval!  As I am finding a new home for your belongings, I will clean the spaces as I go.

How much will it cost?

Current research (March 2022) shows that the average cost for a home organizer is $70/hour, with Maple Valley’s average being $75/hour. I received quotes from 10 local home organizers, and their range is anywhere from $50-$95/hour. However, I want to be able to help people of all walks of life and therefore charge $45/hour. 

What forms of payment do you take?

Cash, Check, Venmo, Zelle or Credit Card

Do you work weekends?

Ideally, I work Monday-Friday as early as 6am to as late as 10pm. If I underestimate the time I feel it will take to complete a project, I will finish on a weekend so there is no delay in you getting to enjoy your new space.

Do I need to buy organizers?

I somehow have the ability to organize spaces like a puzzle. I can make anything fit, anywhere, without you having to spend an extra dime! I will utilize what storage containers you already have, and I have extra used containers that I supply at no additional cost due to generous clients donating bins. However, if you would like to have all matching items such as bins, baskets, hangers, etc., this will be an added expense to you. If you chose to go this route, I know great places to find deals and often share suggestions of what I have found based off of your vision. I will also offer to go to various stores to collect the items at no additional cost and show receipts to make payment. 

Who is responsible for the donation and dump runs?

This is a service that I provide based off of the agreed project cost.  This will be discussed before the project begins.

Do I need to be there the whole time?

Absolutely not, unless you want to be! I am very comfortable working with anyone including working around children and/or pets.

What is your Covid-19 safety protocol?

I am fully vaccinated, however I am more than happy to wear a mask dependent on your comfort level.

                               About the owner

Bonnie Standley

Owner & Professional Organizer 


My love for organizing came at a very young age. I would color code my hangers dependent on whether I was hanging pants, long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts, dresses, etc. I would line my shoes up in color order. My sister and I would play a game where I would leave my room, she would rearrange all of my trinkets on my shelves, and I would then return to see if I could find every change she made. I just figured, “I am clearly OCD when it comes to organizing!” Throughout the years I have not only organized my own homes, but have helped friends organize as they move-in and out of homes, including helping to restructure and organize 5 business offices. Finally, after many years of family, friends, and co-workers constantly telling me that I should organize for a living, I decided to take the leap! Besides my clear fondness for organizing, my dedication has always been in working and helping the public. I have been in the customer/patient service industry working fulltime for almost 30 years! Now, I get to experience the best of both worlds!

What an amazing experience it was to work with Bonnie at Operation Organize. Bonnie is an absolute Gem and very good at what she does. My girlfriend and I needed some help organizing our life after moving in together and combining two households. We just got to the point where it felt too overwhelming and we didn’t know where to start. In steps Bonnie with her endless positivity, great attitude and all the laughs. Our first consultation was quick and to the point. Watching her analyze and take note of all her ideas was truly fascinating. She is beyond talented. Her transformation of our small space is remarkable. We feel a total sense of relief and completely unburdened. Bonnie and her diligent work has given us a fresh start in a clean and organized living space. We originally hired Bonnie to do one room but she was so amazing at her work that we had her come back to do the rest of our house. The things we loved most about Bonnie. 1) Her beautiful smile and energy 2) Her complete non judgemental work 3) She left nothing untouched 4) She had ideas we would have never thought of. 5) She made us feel seen and heard in all our requests and weird possible hoarding situations. 6) Her reasonable & affordable prices for the huge amount of effort and time she invests. 7) Last but definitely not the least, she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. It’s a lot to let someone into your home in this way and she put us immediatly at ease. What more can we say besides Bonnie is simply the best. We would recommend her 1000 times over.

We had Operation Organize come do pretty much the entire house because it was seriously that bad. Our organizer was just the sweetest, kindest person and my goodness did she do an amazing job! I do NOT have organizational skills, so I can’t thank her enough for pretty much giving us our house back! I now have an office to work in, an easy to use kitchen, awesome filing system, clear kitchen table and bedroom floor… and an amazing garage where we know where everything is! We are grateful. Look at all the organization in the pic I posted, where there used to be boxes of misc. crud! Now everything has a place!

I had a disaster after moving in which hadn’t been resolved after a year and a half. My wife somehow tracked down Bonnie and I could hardly be happier. I gave her a very tough challenge because I have way too many complex hobbies and they had become mixed in three rooms. One room I had always wanted for my camera and video things. My office needed to have computer workspace and an electronics/soldering/test instruments workstation plus a large number of electronics parts and computer parts on shelves. I also had a bunch of video game stuff, old memorabilia, art supplies, and it goes on…. It was a joy to get help from Bonnie. She largely worked independently during the first part of the reorganization, although we had to talk more at the end because she’s not an electrical engineer and even I didn’t understand how I classified some of my things. I also had many of the things for all three rooms in each of the three rooms so we had couldn’t just declare a section done as easily for someone less of a disaster than me. Bonnie has an iterative process; she makes multiple passes. It might be confusing why sometimes the bins end up on and off the floor or move around, but she’s trying to do more than get the clutter out of the way. She’s trying to get things into a right place. I greatly appreciated this. She has significant attention to detail and order. She likes storage bins or ziploc bags; something to keep things enclosed. She really likes having lids on things😉. We never had to discuss getting more containers for since I was loaded with them (if I could find them and the lids), but you might consider getting 6 qt, 15 qt, 32 qt, 16 gallon or 32 gallon storage bins depending on what she’s doing for you. She’s going to label everything before she’s done. She’s very efficient with the labeling. She also barely took a moment to take a break. The only thing that could have slowed her down is if the bathroom had been further away. While she’s an organizing robot, I also couldn’t have enjoyed talking with her more. We had plenty of time to chat and she never stopped working while we talked. In fact…at a certain point we talked enough that we discovered that we lived 400 feet apart in the 1980’s and were in the exact same elementary school class for about 3.5 years (really). …we also use the same label maker. It’s a small world. This organizing has lifted a weight from me. The relief I got for the task she completed is cathartic 😉. Bonnie told me she had spent most of her adult life looking for the one thing she was really good at, and she found it with organizing. I have to agree.
