When you and your spouse bought your home you had no idea you’d have be doing so much debating (OK – maybe it’s also been a bit of fighting!) on seemingly simple projects like closet organizer systems. Choosing the right products, contractors and installation systems can make the difference between success and failure in any home improvement project – whether it’s a complete bathroom remodel or a walk in or reach in closet.

Every year I attend the Columbus Parade of Homes where builders and designers show off the latest new products and interior design trends. What continues to blow me away is how I see $700,000 to over $1 million-dollar homes using cheap wire, or un-adjustable white painted pressed wood closet ‘systems’ (I use this in quotation marks because they’re not much of a system).

“Turn around I HAVE to see your Butt in that dress,” the way-too-opinionated sister of the bride says. This is OUR wedding day and this dress just isn’t happening, she goes on to say.” Just another funny episode of Say Yes to The Dress.

It is certainly less costly to stick with your frustrating, inflexible, builders-grade wire closet with piles of shoes haphazardly sitting on the floor, no drawers and clothes squeezed in like too many clowns in a Volkswagen. The question is, do you really want to put up with this disorganization for years to come? Why…

Are your clothes jammed in your closet like sardines? Is finding the right outfit a pain? When you do find that “needle in the haystack” outfit in your disorganized closet is it almost as wrinkled as your son’s pile clothes on the bedroom floor (I can relate to this as my 17 year old son believes in the pile dumping method for his clothes “organization!”).
