Boston Globe lists California Closets No. 1

Closet redesign opens up a world of possibilities

When Mr. Big asks Carrie in “Sex and the City” if they should buy her a diamond she says: “Just get me a really big closet.” One glance at Carrie Bradshaw’s ridiculously outfitted walk-in is bound to give you a good dose of closet envy.

But in a not-so-splurgeworthy economy, we couldn’t help but wonder, what would it cost to redo a simple reach-in closet to house those new fall frocks? We priced out a basic closet – typical in older homes – measuring 6 feet wide, 2 feet deep, 8 feet tall, and outfitted with the staples (basic rods and shelves) but without doors, which are varied, expensive, and not always necessary.

Turns out, creating a stylish little place for your beloved Manolos can be surprisingly affordable, no matter what your style.

Classic

California Closets put the closet business on the map. Now they also transform garages and basements into rec rooms and wine cellars, but they still do one classy closet.

Upgrades

Specialty wood veneer finishes. Extending valet bars. Scarf racks. Tie racks. Hidden jewelry drawers with locks.

The ultimate home organization blog for New England

California Closets invented the home closet industry and this concept is thriving throughout New England. My name is Ken Cleary and I am the owner and President of California Closets-New England. I will be your main blogger on this home organization blog. Sometimes there will be guest bloggers who have something innovative to offer in the area of your closet and home storage needs, but mostly you’re stuck with me.

WHERE DOES HOME ORGANIZATION LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND?

Showrooms for closets? Showrooms for home organization? California Closets in New England is the only closet business in New England dedicated to showing off how to organize yourself through showrooms. We have six (6) of them:

WHY SHOWROOMS? We want to show off. When you have the best product and the most innovative designs - you just need to let people know. I know, they are also a great sales tool. However, as much as these showrooms help us sell and install more closets and other storage solutions, they do this by informing and showing all that is possible for the home. We show you what we are going to do – you see it – you know the quality and you see the attention to detail. We prefer that our clients know what they are getting – we prefer that they know and see our standards. Whether you meet our designer at your home with a free consultation or drop into one our showrooms I guarantee you will enjoy the experience and see why we are the leader in the industry.

This was my introductory entry – more news and exciting tips for your home will be coming.
