We’re on a Mission to Bring Order to Chaos
Contact UsAbout Our Mission
Space Cadets is a boutique closet design and professional organizing firm that goes beyond products to deliver a total transformation. We provide a seamless, full-service experience: from design and demo to painting, installation and putting every item lovingly back in place. For 25 years, we've helped people get unstuck physically, mentally and emotionally, by redefining their relationship with their spaces.
Our clients are busy professionals, homeowners and families who crave order, clarity and beauty in their daily environments. Whether you're moving into a new home, downsizing or tired of looking at a cluttered closet, we optimize your life with systems that are as elegant as they are effective.
We serve Birmingham and surrounding areas with pride and passion. Locally owned and woman-led, Space Cadets is not a franchise—we're your neighbors, your advocates and your personal design partners.Â
Meet Our Commander
Kim McBrayer-Phinney is the founder and heart behind Space Cadets, a company built on resilience, compassion and the belief that order can restore peace in even the most chaotic seasons of life.
A visionary with an advertising background and an unwavering passion for people, Kim turned her own “messy beginnings” into a mission to help others find calm, clarity and confidence in their spaces. Her career began in event planning and evolved into one of the nation’s first residential organizing firms, earning her recognition as a Birmingham Top 40 Under 40 and a participant in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program.
But it’s her personal journey that shapes her work most. Through loss, love and rebuilding, Kim has lived the transformation she now delivers for others. She leads a handpicked team known for excellence and empathy, serving homeowners, families and businesses with a blend of design precision and heartfelt care.
For Kim, organization isn’t about perfection, but about peace. Every project she touches is guided by integrity, craftsmanship and the quiet joy of helping people feel at home again.
Every Mission Needs a Crew
Ours is made up of designers, installers and organizers who bring precision, creativity and genuine care to every project. Each member of the Space Cadets crew is handpicked for both expertise and empathy. From the first consultation to the final hanger, our team works in harmony by listening carefully, crafting thoughtfully and ensuring every detail feels intentional.
Because when the crew works with heart, every mission ends beautifully.
