HANGER CLOTHING COVERS - PROTECTORS!


CLOTHING PROTECTORS!

These are really cool coverlets or protectors for clothing to prohibit dust and dirt on the shoulders or other damage to ones clothing. I really like them, because I can see through it to my clothing and not use ugly plastic.

With plastic you run the risk of the residue of the plastic rubbing off onto your clothing. Because plastic does not breath it may only melt onto your clothing. Besides we are all getting rid of junk plastic in our homes.

These inexpensive, breathable, nylon covers can be reused for many years and can also be washed.

ST. HELENA CUSTOM BOOKSHELVING




ST. HELENA CUSTOM BOOK SHELVING & DESK

This is a recently finished wall unit for book shelving and attached desk I (Malka) designed for a home in St. Helena. It is made of a custom stained alder by our shop. I worked with the best contractor I have ever worked with of all the 30 years that I have been in this business. Of course she is a woman who is always well organized herself; Polly Ogden. Polly specified the tall valance for this terrific lighting fixture that can glide back and forth. I am sure it looks much better with books and artifacts on the shelving. A very satisfying, creative job and a lovely clients, as always.

MALKA'S TOUR OF NAPA VALLEY'S NATURAL ORDER







NAPA VALLEY'S NATURAL FALL ORDER


Yofi, my poodle and I make a daily walk through out the vineyards of Napa Valley before going to work creating organized cabinetry.

It is my daily reminder as to how natural order in the world is my teacher and coach in how we all keep order in our homes. Nothing should be forced or fake. It is a process of design and innovation to create calmness and order in the homes of my client's.

As a designer I wish for my client's to have the same natural order and ease in their homes as the natural order of the earth. For the season of fall is a time to let go of dead attachments, to slow down and live a less florid life. This is the season of the autumn.

CLOSET OBSESSION


A CLOSET OBSESSION
At first this looks like a man's closet, but it is for a couple who appreciated and insisted upon fine cabinetry throughout their entire home. Down to the recycled barn floor, every section is to perfection. Superbly organized, their personal needs are right at hand. Makes for a quick and efficient wardrobe change and off to work they go...

SACRAMENTO HOUSE TOUR



The closet! Yes, I redesigned it for better organization and modern living. Note the old fashion shoe shelving on the door. It seems the original couple had at least several shoes if not much space for clothing.





OLD SACRAMENTO HOME & CLOSET


A nice old home in a quite section of Sacramento, CA is being readied to be revitalized. A young and cosmopolitan San Francisco couple recently bought the house but wish to keep the unique characters of the love an old time architect and home builder gave it so many years ago.

TIBURON BEACH FRONT HOUSE TOUR







Tiburon Home Tour
Designing a large Wardrobe Closet in the beautiful water front home of a client in Tiburon, California. Here I am looking over the San Francisco Bay. Even the closet window has a breathtaking view. These bay front homes require a high quality wood product and finish to prevent water absorption that turns into warping of the panels and shelves in the cabinetry.

CUSTOM WALL OFFICE UNIT

WALL UNIT

A neat and clean solution for a printer with this custom build wall unit. Now that so many people are wireless in their home computer work stations we do not need the printer on our lap as we work. Here we placed the printer a few feet away inside this cherry wood cabinet with the doors that pocket out of sight. A very slick design.

CUSTOM CLOSET IN CORNER


CUSTOM CLOSET CABINETRY


This was a fun project after all. We took an existing wall closet, created the shelving inside and continued in the same format a wall cabinet with a wall bed.
We used the door hinges that allow the doors to open out completely. So all in one; closet, storage, and bed integrated together.

CUSTOM ORGANIZED CABINETRY IN NAPA, CALIFORNIA






Napa Corporate Business Employee Kitchen


I really enjoyed this display of efficient and organized cabinetry we did for a business in Napa, California. We used all Wilsonart laminated cabinet doors, panels and shelving. Wilsonart is a stronger laminate for commercial use than melamine with a larger selection of color, it is also more water resistant. Our custom cabinetry allowed us the ability to cut the holes for the convenient recycling bins.

CUSTOM SHOE CLOSET STORAGE

Basic and popular shelves for either shoes or folded clothing.
Solid slanted shoe shelves; a favorite of men. Many men prefer to view their shoes from the front since many of their shoes are of the same color. Men generally are not on intimate familiar terms with their shoes as most women are.
Slanted shoe shelves with hand cut Lucite toe stops.
Slanted solid wood of walnut toe fronts.
Woman's shoe drawer, an all time favorite of many women.
Man's shoe drawer.
The most popular basic shelving for either clothing or shoes. A general and flexible system of usage.
Adjustable shelving allows for the height of different size boots.
Closed shoe cabinet storage with doors.
