Custom Closets - one of the best investments in a small space



There’s nothing that depreciates a small room like clutter does!  Custom-made closets are one of the best investments in small spaces.  They provide storage and keep it organized!  This not only makes the room look better, it also makes it more functional.  See our tips on becomingclutter-free this spring, and come by our showroom to talk to a CX designer about custom closets to find the best option for you!

How can I make a small kitchen function best?

Christine, our first new Facebook 'like' won the opportunity to ask a CX Designer a question. Here is what she asked:
"How can I make a small kitchen function best?"


Many of our clients crave more counter space in their kitchens and an extendable dining room table that can comfortably sit 4-6 people. In cases like this we usually suggest two options.

1. A free standing island provides both casual seating with stools as well as extra counter space. When hosting a party, the island can also be transformed into a bar. A white lacquer island (like in the picture below) with clean lines will add a modern feel to your space.

Spring Cleaning: Clutter Free



As warmer weather rolls around, we’re all excited to get rid of heavy winter coats, clunky boots and hats, scarves, mittens that are so hard to keep track of.  Why not take it one step further and put your home through the spring filter as well?  So many things weigh us down and cause stress – it’s important to realize what they are and take the time to decide what’s worth it and what isn’t.  Something that can definitely help is going through your stuff to figure out what you should keep and what can go.  This is a great exercise to prepare you to tackle those tougher problems :)
