One that is routine- you have a good handle on the tasks that need to be completed and go about getting those things accomplished.
The other is often referred to as “one of those days” – where things don’t go as planned are often filled with putting out one fire after another or coming up with ingenious solutions to complicated problems.
And closet design days can be that way too.
Sometimes it’s a straightforward Walk In Closet that needs hanging, drawers and shelves.
And sometimes it’s a closet that’s filled with all kinds of obstacles (like steam mechanicals, security panels, return vents and electronic panels for stereo systems and computer technology).
So when most people are presented with complicated work challenges – they put on their thinking caps. Closet designers do that too, along with pulling out their tape measure, angle finder, camera and video recorder and get to measuring and calculating right there on the spot.
This closet project was like building a box inside a box.
What that means is that the client wanted the system inside this Reach In Closet to go wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling and be the full depth of the space.
And they wanted all the obstacles to be accommodated – so we had to work both in the shop and in the field to make this function properly and look beautiful.
The material used on this project is a custom-stained cherry wood, which makes things a bit more delicate to work with.
Trim around the obstacles had to be cut and added from the field once the panels were put in place and we knew accessibility was accurate.
And, as you can see from these photos, we created beautiful custom storage solutions that accommodated the needs of the client.
