“Design of the Month” Winner – March 2010

California Closets has selected the “Design of the Month” Winner for March 2010 – the Before & After makes this transformation a must see!

The beautiful, yet functional design of the Wine Pantry was completed by Ellen Gundersen, a Design Consultant for California Closets.  It was installed by Brian Davenport and Ryan Betti.

AFTER: Ellen Gundersen (Design Consultant for California Closets) transformed the once cluttered storage room into a gorgeous wine bar and organized storage room! Ellen also left room for her client’s wine fridge and designed in great countertop space above it with more cubby wine storage above that.

BEFORE: a basement storage room that had just been collecting clutter for years. The family also had a great affinity for wine and entertaining and not a lot of space to do it in. Ellen Gundersen, a senior design consultant with California Closets, came to the rescue!

AFTER: This contemporary style design uses a combination of closed storage (to hide some of the old, but necessary clutter) with open, diverse wine bottle racks and countertop for mixing.

AFTER: The transformed room is design in a Roman Walnut finish and is accented with Umbrian Oak wine “x” inserts, stainless steel slide-out wine racks and hardware, and light rattan baskets.

Expert Designer Ellen Gundersen transformed the once cluttered storage room into a gorgeous wine bar and organized storage room! See Ellen’s online design portfolio.
