2007 Home Makeover Contest

Mission: Garage
Garage Makeover Contest
To celebrate Get Organized Month, NAPO Charleston chose one lucky
winner to receive a full organizational garage makeover from several
NAPO Charleston Professional Organizers.  This year’s winner will also
receive beautiful and functional garage organizing products from
Garage Tek and Closets & Organizing by Design!

THE WINNER IS:
The Panish Family of North Charleston!
Angie and Cliff and their children Kaitlyn (age 9), Alyssa (age 4) and
Camden (age 2) love to be outside; ride their bikes, play, camp, or fish.  
They would do these things much more often though if only they could
access their bikes, tents and fishing tackle!  They have a garage that is,
in Angie's words, "bursting at the seams, and the clutter has started
spilling over into our home".   It is almost impossible for the Panishes to
find what they need due to the clutter.

It was never their plan for it to be this way.  Angie and Cliff's lives were
put on hold when their daughter was diagnosed with cancer.  Their
home was purchased just as she was finishing her chemotherapy
treatment.  Needless to say, the family was focused on other aspects of
life and organizing their garage was not a priority.  When their son was
born with a hearing disability, this too moved organizing the garage to
the bottom of the list as they made frequent trips to the hospital.  

NAPO Charleston arrived to make their dream come true by creating a
space where the children can access their bikes & toys, and mom and
dad can actually utilize the garage.  Two days of hard work and lots of
recycling and donating resulted in an amazing garage transformation!
