“Design of the Month” Winner – June, 2011

California Closets has selected the “Design of the Month” Winner for June, 2011 – a fabulous Master Suite Walk In Closet designed by Stephanie Scharr Bonini!  Stephanie designed a beautiful Virtuoso Closet!  Her customer, Tracy, was absolutely thrilled with both the design and functionality of the space.

“If you’re searching for modern clean line design in your closet, look no further than California Closets Virtuoso.  Let California Closets’ Virtuoso be the centerpiece of your master suite.” - Tracy, Homeowner

“I have been looking sharper these days thanks to the California Closets Virtuoso design… I’m better able to view all of my wardrobe at once.” - Tracy, Homeowner

Designing the Master Suite Walk In Closet was a true collaboration between Stephanie Scharr Bonini and her client Tracy.  Stephanie recalls, “Tracy and I collaborated so well together, and spent a lot of time discussing ideas, spatial planning, and her inventory during our first meeting. We utilized my iPad to look at photos and clarify the look she really wanted to attain.” 

“On our second meeting, I presented Tracy and her husband Paul with two designs- one in our Virtuoso line and another in Suite. Tracy and Paul loved the smooth, modern look of Virtuoso and it was full steam ahead from there.”

Rachel, our expert Installer, was a great help in getting accurate measurements (the room was very un-level) to make sure the top lighting treatments matched to give a seamless look. Installation took approximately a week due to the L-shape of the design, as well as the variance in the level of the floor and wall.

“Having lived out of 3 separate closets, we can attest to the fact that our new closet has actually saved us money as we were buying more clothes because we couldn’t see everything we owned.  I now love the useful space I have with my new closet California Closets design.” –  Tracy, Homeowner
