If your closets are ‘filled to the gills’ AND you’ve ALREADY decluttered, you might be thinking of adding a custom wardrobe or armoire into your bedroom to get more organized.

Or if your cat had ‘cat scratch fever’ on your favorite dress the idea of adding a wardrobe to keep their claws off your other nice things, might have cropped up again.

Or maybe you’d love to create a focal point in your bedroom for your TV AND MAGICALLY create more…

If you DREAD driving into your cluttered and disorganized garage you’re NOT alone! And of course, that’s assuming you even have enough room to drive into your garage.

And if you live in a home which doesn’t have a basement (another convenient place where ‘excess stuff’ finds a home) it’s even a bigger problem if your ‘garage storage’ deserves to be put in quotation marks. Fortunately, in major cities in Ohio (where I live) like…

I was headed to a closet appointment and glancing over the hand-drawn closet ‘sketches’ (and I use this term in the most sarcastic way possible) my prospective client had sent me from one of my competitors.

If you mess up, you’ll waste money (and then have to rely on the inheritance Elon Musk is leaving you…

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:

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You don’t have to live with a closet which makes you cuss. And you certainly don’t want to be ‘awarded’ a 10 out of 10 for the ugliest and hardest to use closet…. ever (you can say that in a Valley-girl voice).

And you know the ‘breed’ of closet I’m talking about.
