Congratulations to Kelly Rakowski, who won last weeks Giveaway: 3 Hrs of Organizing with The Clutter Cowgirl
Service: Astech Closets
Value: $1500
Description: We've known and worked with Bill Skinner of Astech Closets for a number of years now, and this week he's giving away a redo of one of your closets, or at least $1500 towards a total overhaul of whatever you've got.
Here's Astech's pitch: All Astech closet systems are custom designed. Customers work with an Astech designer to decide on shelves, drawers, clothes bars and hideaway hampers. Then they select their desired finished for the shelves and hardware (seven wood finishes and four metal hardware finishes are available). The designer then creates a computer generated preview of the system.
Next, experienced Astech installers go on-site to turn the design into a reality. Skinner, a respected general contractor for 20-plus years, employs experienced carpenters exclusively...
Ultimately, they produce a closet system that is "personally functional" for the consumer. "There is a high level of customer satisfaction because the resulting system addresses the user's habits. It's really a "can't miss" situation for everyone involved, " Skinner said.

Despite my organising OCD my current closet is a large metro shelving unit (no budget to upgrade). Its open and vaguely disorganised state that gives me agita every time I look at it. I dream of a closet system I can look upon, and be filled with a zen 'everything in its place feeling'.
If you pick me you will actually be doubling your do-good contribution by keeping me out of bellevue!!
