SEX AND THE CITY CLOSET


Glamorous Hollywood Style Custom Designed, Custom Painted Walk In Closet to store and display over 300 pairs of shoes and a multitude of beautiful clothes. A woman's dream come true. It took three years to design and redesign this ever evolving closet due to the client's and architect's changes to this room of the house in the process of building it. The Wardrobe Closet project was collaborated with the client's creative interior designer; Trudy Negherbon of Trudy Negherbon Designs, Contra Costa County, California. Trudy Negherbon created a magnificent designed home and was a pleasure to work with.

Note the three
mirrors in the second photo. It is a three way mirror which opens out so one may see themselves from all sides and behind these doors is a wardrobe lined with cedar. An excellent protection for woolen clothing of course. There are other closet cabinets for other storage. But on the most part the client wished to see her clothing in clear view in order to put together her wardrobe ensembles for the day or for a trip.

CELEBRITY CLOSET IN SONOMA


Beautiful Closet also known as a Wardrobe in pure and smooth walnut wood. Created for a charming southern bell, a celebrity but a secret as to who it is. She came from the big state of Texas and that is all I will note. Their luxurious home is nestled in the hills of Sonoma County Vineyards.

WALL BED IN NAPA



A wall bed is behind this facade of drawers and doors. Our client wanted a guest bed in her very small office but a real bed would not allow any one to walk around the room and neither would allow any other furniture in the room. A wall bed was decided upon and I, the designer of the bed insisted that it should look attractive. The client had to do her paper work in this guest room and it would be a terrible idea to have her just stare at a piece of plain wood framing that is usually installed on the underside of these wall beds. I could not disappoint the client in appreciating the space of her home office. This here gorgeous bed if I do say so myself, has come to be known as "The Malka Bed," for it's creative and innovative way of disguise.

The colors and interiors of the room were artfully and beautifully designed by Napa Interior Designer; Lillian Keating of Mercedes Interiors.

The bed and room was featured in San Francisco Magazine and presented in the Napa Design House.

NAPA VALLEY ON A PLEASANT DRIVE


Drove through the country side of Napa Valley to visit a client as we say "up valley." It was a beautiful day and the clients were lovely. We have created a well designed and organized wardrobe for them at their home in Geyserville which we will install in September for them.
