Situation:

Two kids and numerous parties to attend throughout the year. A large closet was used to hide gifts with no real structure within for wrapping paper, gifts, ribbons etc.

Solution:

Create an official gift closet! We installed a wall to wall shelf at waist level in the interior of the closet. Below the shelf are plastic bins, one for each child and other family members, one for spur of the moment hostess gifts another for spare kid party gifts.

A tall kitchen trashcan holds wrapping paper rolls. Two long shelves above the new counter hold bins for bows, ribbon, greeting cards and packing materials. A large board mounted on the inside of the door is a holding zone for invitations and information on upcoming events.

What Our Clients Say:

“Kathi created a “project” closet out of our hall closet. It was useless space filled with umbrellas, coats, presents, etc. all piled on top of each other. I actually had no idea of what exactly was in there. She created an area that I can do all my wrapping, which had previously been stuck under my bed, and store all of my gifts. It also has enough space to store all of my photo albums and scrap booking. This one closet has made such a difference in my daily routine. I have one place that I keep all of my necessities away from the kids. It works great! “

Here is a common phenomena that occurs in the closet of the American woman:too many shoes and not enough space! To solve this problem, I worked with my client to donate 15 pairs of shoes that either didn’t fit, were out of style or too tired to wear. We also discarded three rogue shoes without mates.

I then installed 5 vertical hanging shoe shelves to hold the remaining 50 pairs of shoes. The boots now live easily above her shoes on the top shelf. I inserted old magazines in the boots to keep their shape and absorb moisture.Sweaters with sweaters, purses with purses, plastic drawer bins organized and we were done!

This closet challenge was a result of downsizing into a smaller home. We purged a few items and organized the remaining clothes into categories. The redesign included moving the dresser to one side, adding a high/low bar to double the hanging space, and installing a few hanging shelves for shoes.

What Our Clients Say:
“Your enthusiasm and energy made this project very enjoyable. You were
really good with creating systems and finding the space for all of my
clothes. I love my new closets.”
