Can the CLOSET come out to play?


Hello, Month of May! Walk-in closets for kids?

We’ve all heard of people who want to get out of the closet but some – like our children – want in!  
The latest buzz is about children and teens getting custom walk-in closets in their home – courtesy of their parents, of course!

Be the first in your social network to do something so current on the interior design frontlines.
Before you turn away from this idea, think again. We personalize our children’s spaces – study, play, bedroom, but what about creating an amazing space in their closet?  It might inspire them so much they’ll keep their things neat and organized.

While researching and designing closets for my clients this month, here’s what the design community is saying about the benefits:
We are seeing a 30%  increase in organizing children’s spaces… adding such things as boutique-style shoe racks, designer wallpaper, velvet-lined jewelry drawers, baskets, rods and velvet cover hangers. Space to show off prized athletic shoes.

Is this too spendy? Does not have to be.
My tips:
Whimsical chandeliers for unique touch

10-Light Warehouse Chandelier
Chalkboard wall Paint or decal so kids can keep a to-do list or track of chores.

Use adjustable shelving because today’s five foot son or daughter is tomorrow’s  six foot seven basketball player!
86 in. Classic Set in White
Think playfull versions of their parent’s walk- in closets!  Use see-through storage items so they can easily find what they want. Or mirrored doors to show off in! Create a theme for the fun of it. If room, add a clothes hamper. There is no reason this can’t start in early childhood and, by using adjustable objects, expand as they do.

Friends and relatives will tell you how clever you are. Guaranteed.

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work.  Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...
