It’s so easy to transform a closet into something special by combining an Easy Track Deluxe Tower Closet Kit with additional shelves and drawers. Hanging rods and shelves can be moved up or down easily to make efficient use of space as your needs change. Drawers with chrome knobs and quality glides enhance your storage space with a built-in dresser. Thanks to the wall-mounted design, there’s no need to cut base molding, so installation is simple.

The children’s closets in my client’s new home had Home Depot systems installed by the previous owner. Because those systems are pre-fab, they don’t utilize every inch of space properly. Plus, drawers did not close properly and the shelves were thin and cracking. I designed new spaces for them that maximize each area and gave them more storage. My client said all three children were so happy with their new closets that they have been keeping them neat and organized!

This 1930's Barrington Hills farmhouse was in need of some TLC when it was purchased by this southern family of five who planned to make it their new home. The renovation taken on by Advance Design Studio's designer Scott Christensen and master carpenter Justin Davis included a custom porch, custom built in cabinetry in the living room and children's bedrooms, 2 children's on-suite baths, a guest powder room, a fabulous new master bath with custom closet and makeup area, a new upstairs laundry room, a workout basement, a mud room, new flooring and custom wainscot stairs with planked walls and ceilings throughout the home. The home's original mechanicals were in dire need of updating, so HVAC, plumbing and electrical were all replaced with newer materials and equipment. A dramatic change to the exterior took place with the addition of a quaint standing seam metal roofed farmhouse porch perfect for sipping lemonade on a lazy hot summer day. In addition to the changes to the home, a guest house on the property underwent a major transformation as well. Newly outfitted with updated gas and electric, a new stacking washer/dryer space was created along with an updated bath complete with a glass enclosed shower, something the bath did not previously have. A beautiful kitchenette with ample cabinetry space, refrigeration and a sink was transformed as well to provide all the comforts of home for guests visiting at the classic cottage retreat. The biggest design challenge was to keep in line with the charm the old home possessed, all the while giving the family all the convenience and efficiency of modern functioning amenities. One of the most interesting uses of material was the porcelain "wood-looking" tile used in all the baths and most of the home's common areas. All the efficiency of porcelain tile, with the nostalgic look and feel of worn and weathered hardwood floors. The home’s casual entry has an 8" rustic antique barn wood look porcelain tile in a rich brown to create a warm and welcoming first impression. Painted distressed cabinetry in muted shades of gray/green was used in the powder room to bring out the rustic feel of the space which was accentuated with wood planked walls and ceilings. Fresh white painted shaker cabinetry was used throughout the rest of the rooms, accentuated by bright chrome fixtures and muted pastel tones to create a calm and relaxing feeling throughout the home. Custom cabinetry was designed and built by Advance Design specifically for a large 70” TV in the living room, for each of the children’s bedroom’s built in storage, custom closets, and book shelves, and for a mudroom fit with custom niches for each family member by name. The ample master bath was fitted with double vanity areas in white. A generous shower with a bench features classic white subway tiles and light blue/green glass accents, as well as a large free standing soaking tub nestled under a window with double sconces to dim while relaxing in a luxurious bath. A custom classic white bookcase for plush towels greets you as you enter the sanctuary bath. Joe Nowak

A wonderful client of ours contacted us one day to say she was having her first child and needed help with a storage problem. The problem was a strange angled closet in her new baby's room. More drawer space, hanging space, and shelving were all needed, along with space for all those wonderful new toys. This closet remodel solved all these concerns and created a wonderful way to display books, toys, games, and all those beautiful new baby clothes. A stunning additional to any baby's room, this build-out fits with the deep blues and dark stained furniture of the space. copyright 2011 marilyn peryer photography
