Last week I revealed a sneak peak of the variety of projects that I have been working on and today I wanted to share the before and afters from a master closet that I just finished (you’ll have to wait a little longer for the rest). My clients live in an older 1920s home with limited closet space. They are considering selling it and their Realtor suggested they get organized and invest in custom closets to increase the value and eye appeal of each of the bedrooms.
I do not build custom closets myself (Kuzak’s Closet can’t do everything) so I work closely with Karin Parodi from Valet Custom Closets and Cabinets, a local company that creates and installs custom closets to do that part of the job. We work as the perfect team, I declutter, they build and install, and then I put everything away in an organized way that works for the client, love it! I also love that I can count on them to provide a quality product along with great service.
So, if you can believe it…my clients were sharing this small single bar closet for 4 years. When we first met for the consultation I kept asking where the rest of their clothing was and they insisted it was all in this one closet. I didn’t believe them, I figured I would find bins and bags of things scattered throughout the house once we got started with our hands on organizing sessions but they were telling the truth, this is all they had. The good thing about these clients is that they only invest in quality clothing that they really love, the bad thing is that it is stored in an unappealing and inefficient way that made it hard to find what they were looking for. The before and afters illustrate the difference it makes when you have a custom closet paired with an organized wardrobe…pure bliss!

Great to see you at the conference on Saturday… really hope you got at least something out of it… and many, many thanks for your kind support this past year.
Wishing Kuzak's Closet *every* success in future!

June 16, 2018 at 3:37 amThe closet system is from Valet Custom Cabinets and the bins are from Target. This project was from 5+ years ago so my guess is that the exact bins are no longer available, they are the closet maid square bins.
