A Vendor Spotlight on Space Cadets
We were honored to be featured by HBH Realty Group, who shared a behind-the-scenes look at how Space Cadets transforms homes and lives through intentional design and organization.
In this video, founder Kim McBrayer-Phinney discusses the power of thoughtful spaces, the emotional impact of organization and how our team optimizes living for homeowners across Birmingham and beyond.
“When your home is in order, life feels lighter. You move differently, think clearly and finally have room to breathe again.”

Recognized Among Birmingham’s Top 40 Under 40
In 2009, founder Kim McBrayer-Phinney was honored by the Birmingham Business Journal as one of the city’s Top 40 Under 40. She was recognized for her early innovation in professional organizing and her role in shaping a more intentional way of living.
This recognition marked an early milestone in Kim’s ongoing mission: helping people and businesses bring order, purpose and peace to their environments. Today, that same drive continues to guide Space Cadets as we design spaces that reflect clarity, integrity and care.
