CHIC SHELF AND DRAWER LINING PAPER











CHIC SHELF PAPER

For your custom closets and cabinetry.

In the midst of spring cleaning we can do our best by cleaning out all our drawers and shelving in the closet, kitchen, pantry, laundry room and every other space. Take everything out, clean, and then toss items we no longer need or use. Before putting things back consider this dynamic and beautiful shelf and drawer lining material now available and easy to install.


This is a great idea. I came across these liners for the drawers and shelving custom made right here in California. They have a wonderful selection of fresh vibrant liners that come in paper, fabric and vinyls. They have perfect selections for each and every situation. Created to be removable and custom cut for your drawer and shelf sizes. You can also purchase the liners in a roll.

An easy job to truly clean up all the storage spaces of your home and brighten up your life. Take pleasure in all your storage places. Contact them at: www.chicshelfpaper.com


Happy Spring Cleaning, keep moving and cleaning - it is an excellent stimulant for prosperity in Chinese Feng Shui.

Look forward to some of our organized closets and cabinetry at RC Cabinets & Closets using these beautiful liners.

CUSTOM WARDROBE







CUSTOM CLOSET IN TRANSFORMATION

Photos are the process of redesigning a partial closet by adding on the finest cabinetry custom created to complement the client's existing wardrobe drawers. Now with plenty of roomy clothes hanging and shelving so sorely missing before. The client had this lovely island of drawers but no proper hanging.

STORAGE SOLUTION OF FINE GARMENTS IN YOUR CLOSET




STORING AWAY FINE CLOTHING

While storing away some of your fine garments in your closet or dresser, enclose them in a fabric envelope that you can purchase or make yourself.

The last photo is from the book: Short-Cuts To Storage by Annemarie Meintjes where it seems to be hand made.

The others above are available at the famously aromatic San Francisco store: Elizabeth W. at the Wharf. Elizabeth W.'s envelopes have the lovely addition of lavender which inhibits moth attacks.

EARTH DAY - TO OUR NATURAL ORDER


OUR NAPA'S EARTH DAY

I spent over 2 1/2 hours walking along the Napa River down town picking up trash with Yofi the Poodle tethered to my belt on her leash.

First excited about this day but soon began to be frustrated at all the cigarette butts that I took a lot of time picking up. I am amazed as to how a smoker can think that these butts don't matter.

CLEANING OUT CLOSETS!


Spring Cleaning Closets!

I am afraid that we are going to displace this napping kitty from her hanger perch. We will have to give her a shelf of her own in the new closet and fold up a nice woolen sweater on it just for her. This way she will not bother as many pieces of clothing with her loose fur. Cat's do like closets, it is their memory of a cave from long ago.

RC CABINETS & CLOSETS

... and me





GARAGE SPRING CLEANING

Yes, it is spring cleaning week ends and we must take full advantage of the warmer weather and brighter days of light. Time to clean out the closets and rearrange the garage storage. Organize and simplify each time to rid oneself of unruly clutter. It is all a very good thing to do.

The counter is our special construction of recycled wood. It is durable and cool.

Love the nifty black trim, the client's wish. Great idea to make it look even more unique.

BARN ARCHITECTURE




Yountville Farm House - An Architectural Beauty

This I discovered near the home of a client's in Yountville, Napa Valley. I do believe it is on her property and do not know it's history. I find it an amazing piece of very fine old architecture. It appears to be used for the storage of a few farm or vineyard equipment.

TOUCH UP FURNITURE WOOD


Tutorial for Home Furniture

A little scuff mark on fine furniture can be an eye sore. With a piece of walnut you can clean it up from the natural dyes and oil of the walnut. Just rub the walnut on the scuff marks a little at a time and this should fix it up just dandy. (photo from Apartment Therapy)

Pantry at a Commercial Kitchen

I know it still looks a bit messy, but it is in better order, with more shelving that are adjustable and is built higher than the simple chrome standard pantry storage shelving. Plus this new one of ours, built by:RC Cabinets & Closets
designed my Malka, now has easy access platter dividers.
Awesome storage and order.

SILVERADO COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES





Custom Closets and Pantry

Another beautiful home of a client who resides in the Silverado Country Club Estates of Napa, California. The door above was custom made by a Napa Stain Glass Maker that I will have to find and blog about. I just loved the door and the entire house on different levels. We finished the closets, pantry and an amazing home office. Will blog about that one too.

ST. HELENA'S ARCHITECTURE

While I was driving around St. Helena the other day, I spied this very old steps or stoop leading up to a rustic pathway. I could not resist the Kodak moment. A little piece of history in the land of grapes.

The Pathway Home Program



The Pathway Home is set within the beautiful historic Veteran's Home of Yountville, amongst a luscious western mountain range in central Napa Valley.


These are the spaces before our transformation into intake rooms for the dedicated doctors and their incoming patients.


RC CABINETS & CLOSETS, installer John hard at work. Notice how neat the installers keep the work area with a tarp under their tools.

... and a simple, well functioning office is ready for work.





Pathway Home In Yountville

The
Pathway Home Program is a Residential Recovery facility program specifically created for, and dedicated to serve, our Nation’s “New Warriors”—those of any age who have served our Nation’s Global War on Terror in areas of the world such as Afghanistan and Iraq. These War-fighters have survived the stress of war, but find themselves experiencing problems that are “getting in the way” of functioning at their top form.

The Pathway Home Program gives these young veteran's a chance to heal, they are assisted in addressing many problems facing the vets and can help maximize each patient’s mental and physical health, resiliency, and overall functioning.

The Pathway Home Program is a true therapeutic community for our Warriors that provides a unique physical and treatment environment that is:

Safe · Respectful · Caring · Challenging · Supportive

It was my pleasure to make a tiny contribution and with pride therefore designed and constructed the intake room with my colleagues at RC Cabinets & Closets
