Messy Chaotic Closet to Streamlined Organization

A returning customer asked me to help her get organized and to design a closet that will more efficiently manage her unique space. 
 
As you can see, her closet didn't provide much functionality.

 
These are the old closet structures that were in place before Whitehead Renovations stepped in.
 
We began building the cabinets and shells for the shoe rack and closet 
 
 
Here is the installed product, not quite finished.  As you can see the storage is maximized from ceiling to floor.
 
A new shoe rack under the existing windows 
 
The finished product complete with crown molding

Restaining Doors versus Replacing

The stain on steel doors can fade over time and if subject to direct hit of the elements.
A simple stripping of the old stain and restaining the door will preserve the appearance of your home.
This helps keep the like new feeling longer without having to buy a new door.
