OK, you’re not designing the custom closet to the stars (and don’t have the budget to match their big-dollar wallets either!). However, you’re intrigued by closet designs with dressers and drawers. The images on the Internet look so pretty.

There’s no reason to keep this a secret from you so I’ll ‘spill the beans’ right up front.  I lead a business which designs and installs custom closets in Columbus Ohio. We don’t sell to DIY’ers. However, we know a lot of them come to our blog for closet design advice (which is cool).
