The best closet designers in the country attend this show which offers ideas and speaking topics like ‘Designing for the Future’ and ‘Luxury on a Budget’ (and hey- we know luxury on a budget is a hot topic because let’s face it, most of us have champagne tastes, but our budget is…

How hard can it be to design a reach in closet to maximize it’s function, you may be saying.

Well as a closet designer (and an owner of a closet company in Columbus Ohio) I’ll tell you (unfortunately) it can actually be more difficult than it’s (much favored, and larger) ‘brother’ the walk in closet.

And you may be saying right now, “Mike why the heck would you say this?” Well – here’s why:
