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.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Oh, the joy of accessories!

Du interiors project A person can have a lovely home with nice things and it can look attractive but the overall effect is that nothing really grabs the eye.  What could make the pleasantly ordinary come alive are well-placed accessories. It is with decorative objects that a home gets its personality. Their color, form, texture and design transform a room from OK to “wow”. Du interiors It could be achieved by adding just one oversize art (bathroom below),  one interesting object (the metal display  ladder blanket below),  or a collection of things that are distinctive and eye-catching like the 3 candle-wall sconces in the bedroom below. For some, adding that out-of-the-ordinary vase or arrangement or piece of art does the trick.  Du interiors Master Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Objects give rooms personality.  You may be able to achieve this yourself. Or with the right interior designer you would b...
