CUSTOM HOME OFFICE in SONOMA WINE COUNTRY



Like magic, this home office is a real working office with all and everything at hand. Then close some doors and you have just a wall system with no beckoning papers to reel you back to work. We created the wall system with high quality furniture grade maple wood with the interiors of the drawers made out of strong and cleanable melamine to match. Behind the desk we have installed a thick cork board to post what ever the client wishes to see while she works. This a fun and useful space created in a home next to the living room. Children and adults can also work together doing home work. Fun and useful at the same time, exactly what I like to design; form and function!

MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATIONS

Several years ago I adopted a dog to help motivate me to keep walking in the out of doors. This was a plan to keep me youthful. Well low and behold, dogs are not allowed in many parks or very much anywhere else. Bummer... and shame on the people who do not socialize their dogs or pick up after them. I am sure the bad dog owners have given all dog owners a bad name.

SONOMA HOUSE AND CLOSETS













I had created custom closets for a client in the Glen Ellen area of Sonoma some years ago. The house is up for sale right now, so I made another little visit to their old home. These are some nice photos of the house for a mini house tour and my puppy Yofi.

GREEN CABINETS AND STUFF

Pieces of marble and granite for sale


While attending a green resource convention a few years ago in San Francisco I found these neat tumbled glass pieces in a booth representing ReBuilding Source. They recycle all kinds of items for the home. The funky gravel comes from broken glass and pottery by tumbling them in a cement tumbler to create sea glass and pottery gravel. I bought some and also made some of my own with my home rock tumbler polisher. I no longer am disturbed when I break a coffee cup. Some day I may have enough of my own, home made gravel to pave a drive way. We shall see.

CUSTOM HOME OFFICE - MARIN

Before then After Home Office

CUSTOM HOME OFFICE in Marin; from clutter to organized. What a few drawers and cupboards will do is enormousness in cleaning up a space. This really should be referred to as an ART STUDIO. A space which can have guests stay on the pull up sofa, not shown. Everything is neatly away when guests come.
Upon the clients request of something functional, clean and easy to care for, we used a high quality and dense melamine that looks like wood. Beautiful in this room and is quite easy to clean with just a spray of a window cleaner.

CLOSET ORGANIZERS

Now, I have a question. All my clients are quite fastidious and like to be organized in every aspect of their home. Would my clients and fans care to hire a Professional Organizer. This is at first a rhetorical question. I shall follow up with further information. So this would be someone that would help you get even more organized.
