CUSTOM GARAGES FOR SPRING CLEANING



It is cold out side right now, and it is almost time to start getting ready for Spring Cleaning.
It is time to start thinking about where on earth everything is going to be stored once we clean up.

Low and behold, we have the best custom cabinets in the North Bay of San Francisco.

I love to organize a garage to make items more accessible with adjustable shelving to get to items when needed. Off the floor and on a shelf. Off the dirty concrete and behind doors.

Besides that, it is important to secure and safe guard your auto. Why ruin a good paint job and look like a bum driving down the street.
Then after everything is tucked away, clean the garage floor. Wash it down or sweep it up.

Great to be organized.

CUSTOM HOME OFFICE - NAPA

The coolest custom home office, laundry room, as well as mudroom I recently designed.

I designed this space for a growing family in the suburbs that now need a quick desk area and entry space. It is custom painted, with a custom bulletin board and a hidden key rack behind one of the doors.

NAPA VALLEY WINTER MUSTARDS

My new Keen shoes from www.Zappo.com, just saw the Zappo team on Oprah. Good company, good ethics in customer service, great shoes for ones closet, hopefully a closet designed by Malka!

These new shoes I wear in the dirt on my walks and on job sites that are under construction with nails and wood under foot.

My shoes here as I am walking through the trenches of Napa Valley vineyards of winter's mustard blooms.

MY CLOSETS IN THE BERKELEY HILLS

Here are several photos of unique homes in the Claremont area of Berkeley California. This is an area of homes that I have some of my most complicated and challenging jobs to design. The older homes do not generally have simple boxes of rooms or closets to design custom home offices or custom closets. The room's walls are often of plaster and are very small. But all are still always quite beautiful because they are unique.
