The Full Story
About
​
Haven Clear was built on the belief that clearing physical space creates emotional space — for peace, healing, and new beginnings.
Founded by a local mother-daughter team in Lake Orion, our business was born from a simple helping hand that turned into something much more. What began as support for a friend clearing out storage units quickly revealed a deeper need: compassionate, hands-on guidance through life’s most overwhelming transitions.
Today, we offer organizing, estate clearing, downsizing, home prep, and styling services — with heart, hustle, and zero judgment. Whether you’re preparing for a move, settling a loved one’s estate, or just ready for a reset, Haven Clear shows up with a plan, a purpose, and a calm presence that makes all the difference.
​
We’re here to help you move forward — one room, one box, one clear space at a time.

Meet Bonnie Blais -
Founder of Haven Clear
​​
Hi, I’m Bonnie Blais, proud Lake Orion resident of 25+ years, mom to two amazing kids (my son is currently serving in the Air Force 💙), and co-founder of Haven Clear with my daughter, Clare.
​
My journey has been anything but one-note — but at its core, it’s always been about people, creativity, and transformation.
​
I graduated from Oakland University in Rochester, MI, and began my career as a graphic designer and production manager in the advertising world. That creative spark led me to co-open a successful retail store inspired by Anthropologie, with locations in both Lake Orion and Rochester. As a co-owner, buyer, stylist, and event planner, I learned the art of curating beautiful spaces and meaningful experiences.
Over the years, I’ve blended entrepreneurship, design, and real estate — building a career in property management, short-term rentals, home flipping, and real estate sales. I hold a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification and have a deep appreciation for helping families during life transitions, both big and small.
​
I’m also a daily fitness enthusiast, a longtime yoga instructor, and a lover of snowboarding, hiking, and travel. I see design in everything — and I bring that eye to every project Haven Clear takes on. But more than anything, I love connecting with people and helping them move forward with confidence, peace, and a beautifully cleared space.
Meet Clare Butterfield -
Co Founder of Haven Clear
​​
Clare Butterfield graduated from Lake Orion High School in 2024 and is currently beginning her college journey at Oakland Community College, all while helping lead the way at Haven Clear.
​
Clare brings a natural love for cleaning, organizing, and creating calm from chaos, along with a calm, steady presence that clients immediately feel at ease with. She's always been highly responsible and detail-oriented — two qualities that make her an invaluable part of every project we take on.
​
Growing up watching her mom run multiple businesses, Clare developed an appreciation for hard work, entrepreneurship, and connecting with people. She’s also a nature lover at heart — having visited many of our country’s national parks — and enjoys reading, going to the gym, and spending time outdoors.
​
Clare is proud to be building Haven Clear alongside her mom and loves the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives, one home at a time.
