Inspiration is Just a Click Away

Now a days home remodeling inspiration is just a click away.  Being an informed and educated customer about the choices available for your home project has never been easier.   Online resources like Pinterest and Houzz can be an excellent source for ideas on layout, color, features and extras.  Online sites have photos of just about any home project finished in a hundred different ways, giving homeowners a chance to dream about project ideas and think about questions to ask their contractor.

As a custom organization company that regularly works with homeowners, we love to see homeowners using the web to empower themselves in the home remodeling process.  Just last week we met with a homeowner, Jane, at her home for an in-home consultation.  Jane was looking to have a custom closet organization system designed for her master bedroom walk-in closet.  Prior to having us come out she had looked at several online sites, including Pinterest and Houzz, for ideas regarding what layouts and features she liked. 

Her research was very helpful.  Jane had a clear idea of what finish and features she liked and had discovered several ideas she loved and wouldn't have thought of otherwise.  Based on her research and our meeting, we were able to easily design a very specific plan custom tailored to her space that incorporated many of the ideas she had seen and ultimately exceeded her original goals.  

As a homeowner today, you are more empowered than ever before.  When considering a custom organization or any other home improvement project, take some time before meeting with your contractor to look on the Internet to get inspired.  We guarantee you will be happy you did.

Kitchen Cupboard Makeover - Pull Out Shelves

Want more functionality and storage capacity in your kitchen without a full kitchen cabinet remodel?  We have a great option for you.  Pull out shelves can easily be installed into existing kitchen cabinets and are a budget friendly way to make your kitchen a more enjoyable place to cook in.  We are here to tell you why a kitchen cupboard makeover will have you wondering why you didn't do it sooner!

The advantages to installing pull outs are numerous.  Pull outs can be utilized in many different ways to increase storage capacity or add better functionality to your kitchen.  For example:
  • Installing pull outs for pantry item storage means an end to the black hole in the back of your shelf where canned items go to retire in peace, away from hungry people.  
  • Roll out shelves installed near your stove for pots and pans can add storage capacity and make them easier to access by eliminating the 'leaning tower of pans' problem.  
  • A pull out garbage can makes your garbage easily accessible and, more importantly, easily hidden.

  
These are just a few ideas.  Where ever you install your kitchen pull outs, they are guaranteed to deliver a more efficient kitchen, all without major remodeling.
