OK – I’m going to tell you right up front I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE designing closets. However, I’ll also admit the idea of ‘aging in place,’ makes me feel like an old dude. Sure, maybe this is because I’m 61. And yes, I still like to ‘reframe’ my age as (29 x 2) + 3.

And if you’re like me and thinking about age in place strategies for your home weirds you out, I still think this article will help you. However, whether you’re designing a bathroom,…

You’re had it ‘up to here’ (as your mom used to say) with your walk-in closet. If you have to throw ANOTHER shoe against the wall in frustration because you can’t find what you need, things are gonna get UGLY!

You’ve told your partner this is THE YEAR you’re going to make sense of the mess which is your walk-in closet. However, in your initial research you’ve found it challenging figuring out which custom closet companies to invite into…
