Booth Brothers Modern Pantry

October 8, 2018 admin Leave a comment

In addition to designing gorgeous his and her closets for the Booth Brothers model home we also got to design a stunning modern pantry.

Modern Pantry

A pantry can be more than functional. Your pantry can also be a design star! We used a sky color for the cabinets with a row of ember drawers around the room.

In addition to designing gorgeous his and her closets for the Booth Brothers model home we also got to design a stunning modern pantry. #designyourhappyplace #closetenvy

Drawers in the middle and covered cabinets at the top not only offer design style, they also create handy storage solutions. Put infrequently used serving dishes or appliances up top. Then use the middle row of drawers for snacks, drinks, or other often used items.

In addition to designing gorgeous his and her closets for the Booth Brothers model home we also got to design a stunning modern pantry. #designyourhappyplace #closetenvy

The shelf space offers a lot of opportunities to store boxes, cans, or to hold bins for food stuffs. The window and bright lights offer plenty of light to see what you have stored. No more dusty boxes of brownies hiding in the back corner. Who are we kidding, boxes of brownies never get dusty! It’s the rice cakes that should be stuffed in a dark corner.

Booth Brothers His and Hers Closets

September 24, 2018 admin Leave a comment

We were so excited to create custom his and hers closets for this Booth Brothers model home. These designs are all about elegance for guys and gals.

Her Sanctuary

This closet defines feminine glamour with all the beautiful finishes and shine a girl could ever want. High gloss drawers paired with decorative cabinets creates such a high end look. The upper doors almost look like ribbons. So gorgeous!

The tall dress closet includes full length mirrored doors. This creates a clean look and the mirrors make the closet look even bigger. Although this closet is already big enough for a gorgeous ottoman. So much pretty!

There’s a lovely glass counter above the series of drawers. Not only does it add shine, it allows a view of favorite jewelry pieces.

This closet also includes 4 pullout hamper bins. That gives plenty of space for darks, lights, dry cleaning, and towels. Now your laundry is ready to go for when the laundry elves come to wash them. A girl can dream right?

Every closet needs plenty of light, and this one was no different. In addition to the decorative chandeliers we also included lights over each closet bar, ribbon lighting on the shoe racks, and up lighting above the closets. So much beautiful light!

His Space

The closet for him has a bit less space than the one for her. Does that surprise anyone? Less square footage meant that every inch of this closet needed to be efficient while still maintaining a luxurious design.

Recycled leather drawer fronts with large modern handles gave exactly the masculine luxury we were striving for. We are in love with dECOLeather drawer fronts!

This closet also includes lighting above the closet poles as well as ribbon lighting in the shoe rack. We also included two pull out pants racks. More examples of stylish efficiency!

This closet may not have a huge footprint but there’s still room for a stylish and functional stool. Everyone needs somewhere to sit while they tie their shoes. 🙂 Speaking of shoes, even guys need plenty of space to store their kicks. This closet has plenty of shelf space for many pairs of shoes.

dECOLeather Design

September 10, 2018 admin 1 Comment

If you are looking for a unique design in your custom closet you should consider leather fronts to your cabinets. That’s right…leather! dECOLeather design will bring a high end look to your closet project!

dECOLeather describes their product like this:

Bringing sustainable luxury to interiors, dECOLeather^® Recycled Leather Veneer provides all the best qualities of leather, including the look, feel, and aroma with the added benefits of durability and ease of fabrication.

Sustainable luxury…that is the kind of product you need in your next closet project.

There are three finishes available for the leather fronts. You can choose from Buffalo, Crocodile, or Walrus finishes. You can also add a high gloss finish. All are lovely and bring a unique design element to your closet.

So what is recycled leather? Formica Group creates their recycled leather veneer from pulverized leather fibers extracted from car seats and leather tanneries. The thickness is comparable to veneer and laminate.

All that is needed to care for the leather fronts is a damp cloth. Simply wipe down the front if cleaning is needed. If only doing laundry and putting it away were this easy!

Customer Showcase: Dapper Dudes

August 6, 2018 admin Leave a comment

Who says a closet renovation is just for women? There are plenty of dapper dudes out there that are looking for a functional closet to hold their stylish wardrobe.

Dapper Dudes

Our customer in Irving, TX was looking for more shoe storage. You may be imagining lots of stylish heels, but men need shoe storage too! Before we began this closet was fine, but there were lots of ways that we helped the client make it more functional!

This closet had a lot of vertical space that was going unused. We took advantage of that height by adding two levels of hanging bars.

In addition to hanging space we added many drawers and closed cabinets. This creates storage that can be closed away to maintain the clean look.

And then there are the shoes. These lovely shelves leave the client lots of space for storing all the shoes they want.

Take a look at this organized masculine style. Suit coats, shirts, and slacks all have space to hang wrinkle free.

Cabinets are perfect for storing sweaters, tee shirts, and even jeans. Color coordinating your items makes it easy to get dressed quickly each morning.

A pull out tie rack, also organized by color, is a wonderful addition to the closet. It maximizes your storage space, while maintaining ease of use.

What dapper dude doesn’t have some fancy hats?!! Drawers are the perfect space to add those final stylish touches.

But what about all those shoes? They are now stylishly organized and ready to get to steppin.

Linen Closet Organization

July 30, 2018 admin Leave a comment

After spending hours on laundry the last thing you want to do is stuff your linens haphazardly onto shelves. If you have fought your last battle trying to shut the linen closet door give these linen closet organization ideas a try.

Linen Closet Organization

Purge, Purge, Purge

When it comes to organization the first step is always to purge. The reality is, most of us keep many more items than we actually use. If you need hard numbers to decide what to keep here’s what Real Simple suggests.

Try to limit yourself to three sets of sheets per bed and as few as three sets of bath sheets or towels, hand towels, and washcloths per person (more if you change towels daily, fewer if the men in your household have never picked up a washcloth). This gives you one set in use, one in the hamper, and one in the closet ready for action. You’ll need only one or two sets for guests (one on the bed and one in the hamper or closet).

To make the purge step easier automatically get rid of any sheets or towels that have ripped hems or ragged edges. You know you’ve had those same linens in your closet for more than a decade. It’s probably time to bid more than a few of them adieu.

Label It Up

You may be perfection at keeping things organized, but if there is even one other person in your home (particularly spouses or children) you may want a more detailed organization plan. Better Homes & Gardens encourages using labels.

Keep linens organized based on where you plan to use them. Sort sheets for each bedroom in the house into their own storage bins so finding the right set is always easy.

Once you have a bin for each room your teenager has no excuse for not knowing where his clean sheets go. Now that you have him doing his own laundry! Wait, you aren’t getting him involved in the laundry?? Check out these summer chore ideas to get your little people involved in keeping things neat and tidy.

How to Fold Those Sheets???

Ok, ok, we know what you’re thinking. Organized linen closets are all well and good, but how do you actually fold those darn sheets?!! Imperfect Homemaking has a full tutorial. We particularly loved their tips for putting sheet sets inside the pillowcase. That’s pure genius!

Method 1: Place the sheets inside the pillowcase and fold the excess pillow case under.
Method 2: Fold the pillowcase in thirds lengthwise and then wrap across the stacked sheets.
Method 3: Simply fold the pillowcase and place on top of the sheets
Method 4: Fold the pillowcase lengthwise to make it the same width as your folded sheets. Wrap around both sheets creating a nice smooth front to display in your linen closet.

Creative Closet Conversions

July 23, 2018 admin Leave a comment

Do you have any closets that don’t really need to be closets? If you are blessed with extra space it may be time to think outside the closet! Check out these ideas for creative closet conversions.

Creative Closet Conversions

Hidden Office Space

Many people are looking for in home office space, but not everyone can afford to use an entire room for that purpose. Apartment Therapy says this one of the most used closet conversion ideas they see.

This is a common conversion that we see a lot in small apartments. Advantages include a space that’s tailor-made for built-in storage and the ability to close the door on your office at the end of the day.

Just because the office is hidden doesn’t mean it needs to be short on style! You can use wallpaper or paint to create an inviting space. Add a few shelves, one as a desktop and another to store office supplies, and you will be ready to get to work.

Kid Zone

Sometimes children’s rooms have more closet space than their little clothes actually need. Why not turn the extra space into something extra fun?!! Märta shared with Dos Family how she converted a closet at her mother’s house for her niece.

For the bottom shelf she bought an old mattress at a flea market and made a new cover for it. This makes a nice seating place . She used the stuffing out of old pillows to make the cloud-like cushions.

With some cushions or pillows to sit on and shelves for books and toys a spare closet makes a great play area!

Wine Storage

An extra closet near your main living space could easily be converted into wine storage or even a bar area. BuzzFeed has these tips to share:

Install a wine refrigerator in your closet or just stack a few wine racks to store your precious vino. Take it up a notch by either installing countertops or use a marble-topped desk in an irregularly-shaped closet for a modern wet bar. Add two stools so guests can pour, sit, and chat.

Now you are ready to host a fabulous gathering with plenty of drinks on hand!

Reading Nook

What book lover hasn’t dreamed of their own library with floor to ceiling shelves of books? House Logic shares this idea:

Abby Metz, the DIY whiz who pens Do It Yourself Design blog, had three skinny hallway linen closets that weren’t working for her. Meanwhile, she had a bunch of books with no official home. So she converted one of the closets into display shelving.

If you have a bit of walk in space you could add a small chair or cushion to sit on. Now you have your very own reading nook!

Customer Showcase: A Perfect Pantry

July 16, 2018 admin Leave a comment

So much food and no where to put it! That is a common kitchen pantry dilemma. Boxes, cans, and bags stuffed on shelves is what you’ll find behind many pantry doors. See how we helped this customer create the perfect pantry for their needs.

A Perfect Pantry

Our customer in Frisco, Texas did not have enough shelving or proper lighting in the pantry. They also wanted more countertop space and some wine storage. Our expert designer took a look at the space available and came up with a plan.

The original pantry was a bit small so we converted a larger closet into the pantry. We began the pantry conversion by adding a nice countertop complete with drawers below. There was space for upper cabinets which added to the storage space. Under cabinet lighting makes it very workable space.

The drawers were the perfect place to store things like paper goods, napkins, and even water bottles. Quick and easy for anyone in the family to grab some water and stay hydrated.

Shallow shelves were a great space for canned goods and small boxes of food. The small wooden boxes and woven baskets add a touch of class to the shelves. They make a great compliment to the shimmering chandelier.

By moving the pantry into a larger closet that left the original pantry space for some wonderful wine storage. Now they have so much space for their wine collection to grow.

The wine racks have lovely ribbon lighting. The lighting not only adds a gorgeous design element, it also makes it easy to read wine labels. Pretty and practical…that’s what makes a perfect pantry.

Organize Toy Clutter

July 9, 2018 admin Leave a comment

It’s summer time which means school is out and the kids are home…all…the…time. When children spend more time around the house the toys can get a bit out of control. Here are our favorite ways to organize toy clutter.

Organize Toy Clutter

Accept What Is

The reality is, if you have young children there will be toys. While there are tips to help deal with the clutter, Organizing Moms remind us that it is ok to stop worrying about it!

Accept that there will be neat days and there will be messy days. The pictures on Pinterest are not reality. The pictures of your kids happily playing trump the images of perfectly organized playrooms.

These days will be over before you know it, so on occasion, go ahead and embrace the mess…and the JOY!

Clear the Clutter

The more toys there are the more likely there will be a mess. So take some time now and then to clear the clutter. Here are a few steps to get you started.

Get rid of the plastic junk. You know, all those little toys that come in kids meals. It’s time to let those things go.
Anything that is broken can go as well. That’s what we call the easy good-bye.
Pull out the toys that are no longer age appropriate. Either store for another child, or donate them.
Involve your children in the purge. Talk to them about donating toys to those in need and let them help you decide what can go.

Little House Lovely Home has these tips for involving your children in donating toys.

Giving or donating to other kids in need is a great way to clear toy clutter. BUT, how you approach this strategy with your kids depends on their age. 5 year olds are starting to understand how privileged they are, and begin showing a genuine interest in helping others. Younger children won’t even pass a toy to baby brother without a tantrum. If your kids are older, talk to them about passing on the toys they don’t use to other children.

A Place for Everything

If you have a designated place for everything your children will be much more likely to put things away. Apartment Therapy has these suggestions:

Have one designated area for toys and decide that all toys that stay in the house need to fit in that place. It could be a basket, or a toy chest, or a bookshelf with several bins. Decide what goes where, and let this be a measure of whether you are accumulating too many toys. I have a large toy basket to hold the majority of my daughter’s toys (which doesn’t include stuffed animals and books), and I know its time to get rid of some things when that basket can’t hold all her toys.

You can take the keep-all-the-toys-in-one-place route, or go for baskets where the toys are used most scenario. Either way when it comes to toy organization baskets and bins are the perfect solution.

We’re Your Fairy Godmother

Customer Showcase: Functional Beauty

July 2, 2018 admin Leave a comment

A master bedroom remodel wouldn’t be complete without a new closet. The theme of this closet was functional beauty. Beautiful finishes with lots of functional organization is the closet design everyone dreams of!

Functional Beauty

Our customer in Dallas, TX added a closet on to their master bedroom remodel and wanted a functional yet beautiful space when expanding. Their builder recommended Closet Envy to create a designer closet.

The customer wanted an island in a closet with relatively small floor space. By keeping the island thin we were able to make her closet dreams come true.

We were able to utilize the tall ceilings to add extra storage. Pull down hang bars are perfect for the out of season clothes.

We also added upper cabinet storage all the way to the ceiling. This allowed us to utilize all the space while hiding the out of season bins cabinet behind doors.

We incorporated a jewelry drawer organizer under one window in the closet. Can we just take a moment to admire the fact that there are windows in this closet?!! Bright light is bliss!

A small track system with hooks create the perfect spot to hang necklaces on the wall.

Another addition to the closet is a set of dresser drawers. Nothing says functional storage like a set of drawers!

We were able to select beautiful finishes to compliment the customer’s newly remodeled master bath! Glass fronted cabinets add a bit of extra elegance to the design.

A pull out belt rack is another wonderful closet feature. There when you need it, and hidden away when you don’t.
