The Team
When The Container Store reached out to NEAT Method Philadelphia to organize the garage of NEAT clients, NFL player Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, Cait Sirianni and her team were up for the challenge. But before they could dive into the garage, they addressed some crossover in the basement and laundry room.
The Challenge
"We knew there were items in the garage that were better suited for storage in the basement and items in the laundry room that made more sense in the garage," Cait explains. "We took a more holistic approach to ensure the garage would function in harmony with the rest of their home."
A typical garage project comes with at least a few challenges, but because Cait and her team had extra time to prepare and edit the Kelces' belongings, they were able to map out and fine tune the space plan in advance. "By the time installation rolled around, we simply had to store our categories in the new products and place them in their designated zones," Cait shares.
The MVP
One of the standout aspects of this project was how willing Kylie was to edit. "Kylie should win a Superbowl ring for her editing skills!" Cait jokes. "She is one of the best editors out there, which helps our job tremendously." When it came to product selection, the Kelces trusted the team to work their magic, drawing on their experience organizing other spaces in the couple's home.
"We wanted to incorporate as much closed storage as possible," Cait notes. "The tall cabinets from Garage+ by Elfa were a must for functional storage and a clean aesthetic." To add a fun touch, the team incorporated some green elements, a nod to the Philadelphia Eagles, using the new like-it Fluted Stacking Storage Totes.
The Philly Special
Probably the most popular feature in the space is the bin designated for Jason's Superbowl ring. "We had an extra bin in Kylie's field hockey coaching cabinet (yay, for room to grow!) and thought, 'if anything needs a safe home...it's Jason's Superbowl ring!'" Cait explains. "A place for everything, and everything in its place, right?!".
The Touchdown
The final transformation of this space is one of our favorites to date. The dramatic green bins complete with custom labels are the perfect balance of sophistication and function - something you can’t say about most garages. But the real icing on the cake? The way the new space works seamlessly for the Kelce’s lifestyle. Cait and her team may have just set a new standard for garages everywhere and we’re here for it.
