transform your abode into a nourishing sanctuary
Hello! I am Melina Piluras. I run TIDY BEE ORGANIZING LLC, based in Carrboro, NC. I can help you navigate your decluttering process and organize your space.
I also offer Crystal Reiki Clearing of the home
to heal and re-energize your environment.
Meet Melina
Tidy Bee Organizing is based in Carrboro, North Carolina, where I use nature as an inspiration to bring life and energy into a home. The "Cackalacky" beaches, mountains, forests, traditions, and friendly people spark my joy.
Born under the sign of Virgo, I am a natural-born organizer. I am passionate about playing with spaces both large and small, culling the unneeded and inviting in the new. Creating refined spaces is an ongoing journey.
I love to:
- help declutter, reorganize, & refine your dream zones;
- use my Reiki training to energetically clear spaces for living your best life;
- simplify your home;
- and transform your abode into a nourishing sanctuary.
Call me today so we can get started working together, collaborating to organize your home in Chapel Hill or the surrounding area.

services
declutter
Based on Marie Kondo's philosophy, the first rule of tidying up is to let go of items that no longer serve you or no longer bring you joy. Let me help you discover what "sparks your joy" and what no longer serves.
Read More
- First, we remove items from your cabinets, drawers, etc.
- Then, we sort items into piles, grouping like items together, to see what is really there.
- Finally, we can edit the items that are duplicates, unwanted, unneeded, or have already served their purpose.
organize
Once spaces are decluttered and cleared, we can organize belongings into proper spaces and categories.

This important part of the process helps to put items back using a system that can be easily maintained.
reimagine
Clearing out and organizing allows us to reimagine the look and feel of a space.

This opens up new possibilities for rearranging, redecorating, and allowing the space to flow naturally.

how it works
1. We have a phone consultation
We have a phone conversation during which we assess your needs and discuss options for achieving your goals.
2. Home Visit
Next, I come to your home to do a walkthrough and devise a plan. You may wish to begin by working on one room or take the plunge and tackle your whole house! This initial visit usually takes up to two hours during which we may start the decluttering process.
3. Get to Work Together
- I write up an agreement document that outlines our goals and establishes the scope of work and our schedule.
- We have a second visit in which I work alongside you to edit your space(s) and set up an organizing system that works for you and can be realistically maintained.
Special Note: You also have the option to have a Crystal Reiki Clearing performed before we get to work. This helps to set our intention, clear stagnant energy from the home, and energize your environment.

imbolc inspiration
02.02.2023
In the Gaelic tradition, February 2 is Imbolc. Imbolc celebrates the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. This time of year, we are still feeling the cold chill of winter, and also sense in our bones the coming of Spring ...

... This is a time filled with promise, hope, and excitement. There is a quickening happening now and we are called to tap into it. Feel the stir of your impulses. Are you out in the garden, trimming the grasses, checking the bulbs- hyacinth, daffodils, crocus? In our homes, we find where our comfort zones lie. Are we banking the fires in our wood stoves? Baking and menu planning?
Imbolc is the time for celebrating the Light, dreaming, and Spring-cleaning. Just like our gardens are ready for pruning, our homes may need a refresh. Imbolc inspires us to clear the spaces and ready ourselves for a good spring clean. Remember, we need to clear any clutter before we get to cleaning. Now is the time for honoring the slow embrace of winter while dreaming of spring adventure. So, in honor of this lovely ‘tween season, I invite you to clear a space and light a few candles. Walk about your home and dream of what you envision for a particular space. Maybe you would like to repurpose a room, or simply clear the clutter and find the counter/floor, inspiration? Find the spaces that need clearing and begin with that. Plan for the weekend and get your bags/boxes ready for a decluttering session. Have fun with it because already, the light of day lasts just a little bit longer …
what's the buzz?
07.21.2022
Summertime is the perfect time to clear out the closets, tidy up papers, and dust off the bookshelves. The school term is in the back of our minds. Once school starts, the action is happening, and we lose time for tidying ...

... Where do we start amidst the mad dash to the beach, the early walk to the Farmer's Market, and assorted, myriad play dates and pool parties? I am here to remind you to breathe and take it slowly. Summer is not the time for overwhelm. Clearing out and tidying up is a process. Be one with the journey and it is possible to enjoy an odd hour here and there to clear a closet, empty old bins, or open a space. Plan ahead, pick a shelf, picture the books coming up next term and see where they will go. Choose one item at a time. Simply dust off a shelf and make way for the new, so when summer winds down, we can breathe easy and revel in the summer buzz.
why bee organized?
04.11.2019
Bees are alchemists.
Like bees transforming pollen and nectar into honey, organizing our unkempt spaces can transform our abodes into nourishing places we call home ...
Read More
When bees stir pollen in flowers they support food growth that nourishes and sustains us. Likewise, stirring the clutter in our homes and organizing our spaces transforms our lives and sustains an environment that invites calm, peace, and creativity into our daily lives.

What makes it special?
- Above is a traditional NC "bottle tree," which were originally made to keep away the "haints" (ghosts), but are now often more for decoration.
Read More
- We also love the tradition of painting ceilings of porches pale (UNC) blue, also initially to keep away the "haints".
- There are so many beautiful outdoor places to visit. Rivers, mountains, the ocean, and more!
- "Southern Hospitality" is for real. People in NC, especially in small towns like Carrboro and Chapel Hill, are often very friendly and community-minded.
