“Life truly begins only after you have put your house in order.”
—Marie Kondo,
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up
Bonjour et Bienvenue!
I’m Herve (pronounced “Ervey”); your Tidy Frenchy. And yes, as you may have guessed… I’m French (accent included, you’re welcome).
I made the move to the US and New York City in 2001 to work in investment banking.
The pull of sunny California later brought me to Los Angeles and as of February 2020,
my home is now Nashville, Tennessee.
As long as I can remember, I have been a so called “neat freak”. Organizing and tidying has always come naturally to me. As a little boy, I used to spend hours organizing my toys, books and helping my parents tidy up around the house. Later, during my college years, I would advise people on how to keep their homes organized. There was always a feeling of joy and satisfaction whilst doing it.
After studying law and foreign languages, I spent many years working in the corporate world. However, I was never fully fulfilled with my work; I would come home and start reorganizing and tidying my space to help me relax. I felt such joy doing that.
Years later... In early 2019 in fact, I discovered the KonMari Method® by watching Marie Kondo’s Netflix series; “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo”. I couldn’t stop watching it!
I wanted to learn more about this way of organizing and tidying so I ordered her books and read both of them in a week. I was so inspired that I decided to apply the method to my own home. It was life-changing! I felt such joy living in a space with all the things I love that made up my home.
My motto has always been, “If you want it, you can do it." It inspired me to reorganize my professional life and change of career to fulfill my passion for organization.
After attending the KonMari® certification course in New York, and becoming a certified KonMari® Consultant, Tidy Frenchy was born!
I am so excited and honored to share my passion for organizing and to help guide you to declutter your home by creating a space surrounded by things that truly spark joy.

About the KonMari Method®
Most tidying methods involve organizing by room, as opposed to category. This can seem more overwhelming and leave you with picking away at your stuff forever.
The KonMari Method® encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. You only keep those things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy. Thank them for their service – then let them go.
People around the world have been drawn to this philosophy not only due to its effectiveness, but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking.
