WALL BED - CUSTOM!

 CUSTOM WALL BED

Custom queen size wall bed in any material available to the cabinetry market. A large selection of woods, melamine, or custom painted any color are offered. The fine hydraulic mechanism comes to us from Europe allowing a soft no hands drop down and push up. Very safe. 

Beware of cheaper on-line beds that are very heavy to pull down and push up. We have replaced many of these due to some clients being too elderly to deal with the heavy weight.

The queen size mattress is a real mattress with wooden adjustable slats to act as a box spring and create a real and very comfortable bed for a guest or family member. Blankets and pillows can remain stored on the bed when hidden and lifted away.  

 

The best wall bed mechanism is the best wall bed mechanism we have found and can confidently offer our clients for a long , comfortable and safe use. 

(Not a Murphy Bed, that is an old brand name newly owned by a company.)

SONOMA WALK IN CLOSET

New Sonoma Walk In Closet!

New Santa Rosa fire victim's closet. Loosing her entire home of over 40 years to the Sonoma 2017 fire, finally finished the rebuild taking 2 years. Pretty dismal endeavor for many Sonoma and Napa residents who lost everything. Nevertheless, we helped her create a beautiful walk in closet with a US made textured melamine with custom painted door and drawer fronts. Hand selected artistic glass pulls exemplify the client wish for creative perfection. Designed and produced by Malka and RC Cabinets & Closets of Sonoma.

MOTH PROTECTION FOR THE CLOSET

 

MOTH PROTECTION FOR THE CLOSET

Many people are sad when they discover little holes in the best of their clothing due to moth or beetle infestation. Early spring rain and long hot summers can cause the over growth of the cloth eating moths throughout our homes and especially in our closets. With solitude peace, darkness, and warmth, moths have their private affairs in our drawers, closets, and attics during the times we store our seasonal clothing away and on the garments we seldom wear.

CLOTH MOTHS

The larvae of the species family Tineidae cloth moths can eat and damage the animal protein keratin found in hair, wood, fur, feathers, and other materials. An infestation of these moths start when an adult moth flies into an opened window or door or are brought in on a piece of clothing. Traveling over seas and bringing clothing with the moth larvae into the closet may be the cause of a major infestation. These moths are small, just a quarter-inch wide and cannot fly well. They will generally be seen low to the floor, on the carpets fluttering around searching for a place to nest their fabric eating cocoons. The adult moths are a beige-brown, making them even harder to see. The moths will concentrate their nesting in dark crevices and creases, behind lapels, in pockets where fabric is folded and on the edges of wall to wall carpets.

SIMPLE STEPS FOR CLOTHING PROTECTION

1. Clean your garments before storing. Moths, like little bits of food and body secretions mixed with their fabric meal. Very hot water or dry cleaning solution will do the job.

2. Store your finest clothing, such as cashmere and tasty wool in sealed boxes or closed drawers.

3. Use lavender or lavender and cedar sachet potpourri herbs or spray. Lavender aromatic oils are most effective when their scents are sealed within a box or a drawer with the clothing it is protecting. Refer to sources below for lavender products to protect your clothing from these little pests. 

4. If you have a serious infestation, all clothing of woolens, silk, hair, furn, and feathers will have to be professionally cleaned or washed in hot water. The closet will have to be thoroughly vacuumed in all corners, floors and ceiling.

These steps are not infallible, so by all means keep your clothes well organized and in clear view with adequate lighting. Remember it is the clothing we rarely use hidden away that give the moth their easiest fast-food meal.

THE MAGIC OF LAVENDER

Lavender is a natural and effective insect and moth repellent. Scientists are attempting to isolate the chemical component that deter these little creatures in order to patent and manufacture it into a simple product. In the mean time, we have the luxury of these beautiful fragrant flowers growing naturally in the fields of California and the Provence of France.

CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

ST. HELENA CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

I designed a special knife display for the Culinary Institute of America retail store here in St. Helena. It is to display and store back stock of the top four knife companies in the world. Made in a mahogany wood with a shaker style type door front to coordinate with the grand old design of the building in which it is housed. The old building in St. Helena before it became the Culinary Institute of America was the Christian Brothers Winery long ago.

CLOSET ORGANIZER

CUSTOM CLOSET ORGANIZED TO THE HILT

Can you believe all of these drawers are full and organized. This client had to downsize to a home three times smaller than the house she moved from. Therefore an enormous need to call upon a Closet Designer that knows her stuff. Yes, after 20 years, I should. We maximized the closet and gave her the many drawers and adjustable shelving and clothing rods she needed so desperately. I am not sure if she can go shopping after this downs size, certainly she must purge before she does.
RC Cabinets & Closets, Malka's team again helped a gal out.

YOFI THE POODLE

ST. HELENA HOME TOUR

This is a very lovely front door of a talented interior designer located in St. Helena. Just a very small house tour but it was a favorite view for me that day. I will finish the tour later when I get to know this designer and trusting we will work together on some equally lovely custom closets and cabinets. Great spaces of cabinetry here in St. Helena, straight from our showroom in San Francisco and straight from RC Cabinets & Closets and Malka...

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.
