Has your first (and hopefully last) worldwide pandemic made you want to S-C-R-E-A-M at your home because it’s sooooo disorganized? Is your frustration boiling over? Can you relate to the following?

• You ‘attempted’ to manage those Zoom calls for work from your make-shift home office (AKA your kitchen table). Your dog was barking and your ‘little angels’ (AKA your kids) were fighting in the background. Not exactly the professional image…

OK, I’ll admit right up front I’m not an ‘innocent bystander’ in my POV (point of view) in this article. I’m not a trim carpenter, and I don’t play one on TV, but I have seen plenty of closets they’ve built in wood.
