Conquer Your Clutter

Sponsor A Space’s First Project
Our very first Sponsor A Space Organizing Project was a total success!
We transformed an overflowing closet into a multi-functional pantry and storage area.
We had a lot of fun working side-by-side with this busy, single mom with special needs kids.
She had a high-risk allergen containment problem, and she needed a specialized pantry system to maximize her main storage space for seasonal items.
What did we do?
Apartments do not often have a lot of storage, so all storage solutions had to be easily removable.
Our mission: Maximize this primary storage space.
What started as a cluttered and chaotic closet transformed into a multi-functional space to contain a pantry, seasonal decor, car care items, sentimental items, and more!
Our main goals were:
- Create an easy-to-follow pantry system.
- Create a separate space for one child’s safe foods.
- Store seasonal and other miscellaneous items.
