I can still hear these words like it was yesterday. Mom yelling….

“Michael Anthony Foti, hang up your clothes!”

 And if your mom was like mine, when she added your middle name (or started counting) you knew your were in big trouble (and to this day, I still can’t figure out why ‘counting’ worked, but I digress).

And while I know I caused my parents less gray hair than my older and more mischievous brother Frank, this still didn’t always make me…

If your closet is a DISASTER today raise your hand.

And I know if I could see you right now, I’ll bet at least 90% have their hands held high.

And while a new closet system (designed by an experienced closet designer) is the smartest way to get more out of your ‘smaller-than-you’d like’ closet, your budget may not allow you to get the ‘full Monty.’ Purchasing the closet of your dreams right now may not be in the cards for you. And…

The kids and your ‘sloppier half’ are treating the mudroom as their ‘personal’ dumping zones.

If you’ve never done a garage cabinetry project before, FOSU (that’s the Fear of Screwing Up), can paralyze you from ever getting started. This IS NOT a project you do every day (thankfully).

Just like with all home improvement projects, there’s more to the job than meets the eye. Here are a few questions that could be bubbling up in your brain if you’re considering throwing out your store-bought garage shelving (which is likely sagging,…
