Making Room for Baby: A Kitchen & Garage Transformation in the DC Metro Area
When a new chapter in life is just around the corner, the last thing an expecting mom needs is a cluttered kitchen and an overflowing garage standing between her and a ready home. That's exactly the situation we were called in to help with — and it's honestly one of our favorite kinds of projects to take on.
The Challenge: A Home That Needed to Grow With Its Family
Our client was nine months pregnant with her first child and had a clear, practical goal: clear out the unused items taking up space in her kitchen and garage, and make room for all the baby gear that was about to arrive. She knew what needed to happen — she just needed a team she could trust to get it done safely, efficiently, and without adding any stress to an already full plate.
She reached out to us at The Model Home, and Eryn responded quickly to get things moving. We offered multiple scheduling options to make the process as easy as possible, and within no time, we had a plan in place.
Our Approach: Thoughtful, Efficient, Full-Service
Two of our professional organizers, Joy and Sophia, arrived ready to work. Over the course of eight focused hours, they moved through the kitchen and garage systematically — assessing what was there, sorting through years of accumulated items, and building an organized structure that would actually serve the family going forward.
Here's what the session covered:
- Full assessment of both the kitchen and garage spaces
- Sorting and decluttering — identifying what to keep, what to donate, and what to toss
- Reorganizing the remaining items into a functional, accessible layout
- Hauling away trash and donation items so our client didn't have to lift a finger
- Bringing baby packages upstairs before leaving, because we believe in going the extra mile
That last part matters to us. Our client was nine months pregnant — the idea of her carrying heavy bags or hauling trash to the curb after we left wasn't something we were willing to leave on the table. Full service means full service.
The Results: A Home Ready for What's Next
By the end of the day, the kitchen was clear and functional, and the garage had gone from chaotic to organized — with dedicated space ready and waiting for strollers, car seats, and all the gear that comes with a new baby. Our client walked away with nothing left to do, nothing left to lift, and a home that finally felt ready.
"The Model Home is worth every penny! As an expecting first-time mom who is 9-months pregnant, I reached out to TMH to help me organize my kitchen and garage. My goal was to clear out unused items and make room for baby gear. Eryn promptly reached out and offered me many time slots to make things as seamless as possible. Joy and Sophia, my organizers, worked efficiently for 8 hours to assess, sort, and organize my spaces. They took my heavy trash items and items to donate away for me, leaving me with nothing to lift or carry! They even offered to bring all my baby packages upstairs before they left! Full service and I highly recommend!" — F, Google Review --- F from DC Metro Area
