" We took the corner bedroom and large -- event. And we created. I've built in walk in closet as well the bathroom isn't my territory in here behind the fireplace. And then on the other side we took over small bedroom that was there to create an additional walk in closet dressing room and bath for my wife. And we're at that point in the construction where there's still a lot of trim lumber that hasn't been put up but in the master bedroom. We've got our picture moldings we've got -- Casey is our baseboard just about everything complete. Let's go into my dressing room area which is. Pretty much and finished and we'll meet Bob and Sheila smaltz from California o'clock that night. See you see you again and how are thank you well listen one thing that I wanted to make a point that was it. A lot of people think California closets are only doing apartment closet makeovers in the -- but you really targeted to the construction process you."

" That's exactly right not California closets really accepts the challenge of working with our customers like yourself again and also an architect and creating the most special custom space that fits your needs."

" So you've been working with Greg -- architect that's absolutely correct and I told him a little bit about my needs to get it and usual wardrobe half of his khakis are -- reason you have this kind of business slowed travel that's right but I think we came up with some great solutions let's look at the plan sir that you -- you."

" Well we have here -- I -- wardrobe cabinet with floor to ceiling doors that I think we'll last. Be the main focal point of the unit."

" Now that goes the whole length of this long -- here which is what indeed is it yes it is so I have ten feet of hanging behind there were houses broken out well but has the play ends over here we have -- assortment of double right hanging. OK so I'll have. A rod here and another route above. And then what's in this area for well we have like garment -- time now for some of those suits and tuxedos and nice and neat and then this is off shelves shelves for those letters insurance that you have any that'll be terrific."

" And the rest of the room is either. Storage -- girls flat panels right."

" Yes we're actually taking the same -- and we are outfitting them with handles the entire wall space in the stressing out. So it's gonna be a totally fitted custom."

" So Bob that's what we have to put plywood behind you right that's correct actually has some staples all the other wood veneer product exactly now have you got any samples that we can look at it over again and I don't. There's a product Bob that's this product is made in Brazil and but the interesting point out that they have their old tree -- now -- grow the wrong product. So people who are interested in environmental problems -- and then this is actually from the rainforest training that is that's an entry arms brackets and what are point that -- that -- literature as well going to be beautiful and Erica it's gonna look like a lawyer's office that is actually going to feel that the king getting dressed in this room very neat. And then in terms of the -- any kind of chest of drawers. "

" It is not right around the corner we have the unit and I think you'll see right as you cannot plan OK."

Installing Custom Closets
Installing Custom Closets

Bob enters the master suite to talk with Marcy Weisberg and Brad Bendell who are installing the totally custom California Closets. Marcy explains that the homeowners asked for 'his' and 'hers 'sections in their 12' x 6' closet space. The 'hers' section is separated into long hanging with shelves above, double hanging for tops and bottoms, mid-length hanging with shelves above, and lots of shoe storage. Brad tells us that the Closet frames are built out of high-pressure furniture grade particle board with a mahogany finish. He first screws a metal bar into the studs with a 2" tempered screw . After that he puts a cover onto the rail to dress it up and then installs the vertical partitions for strength. Next he hangs the horizontal members. The hardware on the cam-locking shelf is inserted into the vertical partitions and the cam locks into place much like a piece of knock-down furniture. Brad then does the same at the bottom to complete the frame. Marcy explains that the closet systems are priced by component - partitions, shelves, and accessories. After the system is installed it will be separated from the rest of the master suite by a Japanese Shoji screen.

Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet
Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet

The master closet of the Melrose home was redesigned to maximize storage space. Chloe Durant of California Closets met with the homeowner to draw up plans on redesigning the space. The dressers in the closet were cluttered and in the wrong areas while hanging clothes were not accessible. A drawer unit with full extension, ball-bearing slides was selected. Double hanging was put into place where the hanging rack used to stand. Women's shoe shelves were put in to display different shoes. A vanity with jewelry drawer section was installed and a hanging wall with hangers at different heights to keep clothes organized. Adding all the hanging units has resulted in a big gain in the amount of open floor spacein the walk-in closet.
