Are you ready to get organized?
solutions to messy spaces.

I mean, we realized, literally, immediately.
We met because our friend set us up on a blind friend date.
We decided to go to lunch together after I kind of forced Joanna into it.
Joanna’s motto in life is “no new friends.”
We ended up going to lunch together and it was just instant.
We got up from that lunch as business partners without even asking each other.
We had just jumped in right away and we didn’t have the normal lunch/brunch chitchat.
It was more like, “What are your top five skills?
What are your complimentary skillsets?”
We just dove right in.
JOANNA TEPLIN:Clea’s exactly right; I do not do new friends.
You don’t know until you know.
So there was no holding back or testing the boundaries of each other’s dedication to organization?
SHEARER:What you see is what you get with us, 100 percent.
There is no tip-toeing around, for better or worse.
So when we clicked and connected, we found each other.
SHEARER:It was a bit of a winding road to get here.
We started entertaining it as they talked to us.
We came back to L.A. to meet with production companies.
I was like, “How’d you hear about us?”
They were like, “Reese found you on Instagram.
She thought you were funny.”
I literally pulled my car over.
I was like, “Repeat that, c’mon?”
We all did this together and joined forces I shouldn’t even say “did this together.”
They did this, we just showed up.
Did you always plan on having a celebrity edit and a regular person edit in each episode?
SHEARER:That was the format that we discussed initially with Netflix.
It does reflect truly our business.
We work with a lot of celebrity clientele, but we also work with a lot of non-celebrity clientele.
I don’t think that that happened.
I personally was so invested and enjoyed the storyline from the Owens family.
I don’t think it’s just the celebrity that people are watching.
Was there one celeb you were surprised wanted to take part?
SHEARER:I was shocked about Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka.
Khloe Kardashian and Rachel Zoe, Reese they are people that we have worked with before.
Neil Patrick Harris, to me, is so mind blowing.
A lot of these people, we felt that we knew.
We don’t know Neil at all.
So we showed up just like, “Oh my God, is this real life?”
I mean, I say the same for every single person.
Like, Reese Witherspoon?
Is there one person whose closet has just blown you away?
Either in terms of space and scope or because of the items they have in it?
TEPLIN:Rachel Zoe’s closet.
It’s like a museum.
It’s a different situation.
These are amazing pieces of art.
I’m like, “Okay, great.
So we’re keeping all of it.”
Once you get started do you regret giving yourselves such little time to complete the edit?
SHEARER:It’s stressful.
TEPLIN:It’s the two things happening simultaneously.
We’re doing two separate jobs in a very short period of time.
We only have two hours to do the work.
That’s why we are panicked.
I was like, “The answer is no!
We won’t finish.
I have to keep working.”
I was like,“I’ll do it after, I promise.
I’ll go back in the head space, but I can’t right now.”
It’s just truly stressful.
It was not manageable.
Do you think one of you gets more overwhelmed than the other?
Or just in different ways?
TEPLIN: We both do get overwhelmed, but it’s been in different ways.
Clea gets paralyzed if she feels like we’re not going to finish.
But Clea’s stamina for filming and stuff is far better than mine.
I think we just loved working with funny, powerful women that are just so incredible and powerhouses.
That is what’s so fun.
TEPLIN:Kerry Washington!
That’s my dream one.
Isn’t she friends with Reese?
Reese, all these people you’re friends with, send them our way.
