Everything in its place
With the mantra, “Functional quarters are mirrored in the mind,” Betsy Krobot, owner of Betsy K Home Choreography, has opened a retail store, The United Organizing Co., in Bridgeport.
“I think organizers are becoming a necessity rather than a luxury,” said Krobot. “It’s my goal to make organizers accessible enough and plentiful enough where anyone can afford it. The rich already have staff to do what we do; the people who need us are the middle-of-the-road people who are peddling as fast as they can to keep their heads above water.”
The store, which shares a space with The Center for Green Building, carries organizing products and features professional organizers – three including Krobot – with specialties like finances, computers, photos, decorating, children, staging and time management.
“I hope to be able to represent all the organizers in the area,” said Krobot. “We are working with Shelf Genie and Select Closets. People can come in and see what a closet should look like, what a shelf should look like, how things should be hung.”
Krobot, a certified professional organizer, grew up in Greenwich and began her career in corporate event planning working most recently for gourmet and specialty food trade shows until 2003. After 9/11, Krobot found herself with an overwhelming amount of hours and felt it was time for a change.
Krobot went back to school at the New York School of Interior Design, with intentions of becoming a decorator.
“At first I found myself decorating, but I was organizing as I did that,” Krobot said. “It occurred to me, I’ve been doing this forever and I do it naturally. I’ve always felt like if everything is in place, you can run the world.”
