I met Jaclyn at the new home she and her husband Fred just purchased to design a new closet system.

Are you finding yourself constantly challenged to find the outfit you want to wear while simultaneously getting the kids out the door and off to school. You can’t seem to find ANYTHING in this jumbled mess you call a walk in closet. If you resemble this, you are not alone. With work demands and family demands always going up you’re ready for any strategies to make your life…
