Organize for Success

We’ve certainly got a nice closet here to look at today. For starters, I’m a pretty big fan of the gray color scheme. It’s to me, perhaps the most tranquil color to start and end with. I love its passiveness and ability to work with so many other colors. The other standout in the images is how the closet is organized. An organized closet helps you more easily find exactly what you are looking for from a sport coat to your favorite sneakers. Organizing for success saves you time, space and peace of mind knowing you can easily lay your hands on any item you are looking for.

Speaking of organization, look how the combination of both open, hanging and drawer storage works here. The open storage areas allow for the addition of cloth baskets. These make great portable storage or maybe even seasonal storage that could easily be moved elsewhere. And with some side mount slides, you can create custom drawers fit to the exact width of your closet space. And of course, every closet needs closet rods. We have a great selection of styles, lengths and finishes available.

Taking a look at the main center cabinet, I’d be curious if there might be a microwave oven parked behind the two doors? It could perhaps be a convenient addition for the hungry go-getter in a hurry? Think about it, there’s likely a TV and faucet nearby. So it’s not out of the question that this en suite might just be made ‘a bit more complete’ by having a microwave in the mix.

Finally, maybe you want to take the ultimate organizational step and hide the whole closet away! With the additional of barn doors and some large appliance pulls you have created the mac daddy of successful organized closets!

Whether it’s your kitchen, mudroom, garage, or your closet, give www.WoodworkerExpress.com a thought; we can likely help you with whatever it is you need, except for maybe cowboy boots and blue sneakers.

Closet Organization Accessories Are A Hit for Keeping A Clean Closet

Mondays with Mike header

Who out there wears shirts? What about pants? These are rhetorical questions, of course… or are they? On display here is a closet whose storage and organization scheme has been well thought out and outfitted appropriately with great closet organization accessories. Were this my own closet on display, I’d have to do some significant clothes shopping to be able to fully utilize all of the organizational capabilities we see here.

Admittedly, when I’m not wearing a Woodworker Express shirt full-time (see header photo above), I’m likely wearing a garment adorned with the logo of a sports team or a heavy rock band. These aren’t really what I’d consider “closet accessory worthy”…at least when compared to these considerably dressier work shirts and slacks shown in the picture. I think I might be in the minority here when it comes to being a ‘dressy’ dresser, of which I am NOT, but the closet organization accessories for sure are a hit and you can find them all for sale at www.WoodworkerExpress.com.


On display here: Closet tubing in a variety of finishes to ensure your ability to match things up in a very subtle or even fantastically creative way. The retractable Tie and Belt Rack you’ll notice, further checks off the ‘specialized closet organization accessories’ box in a very satisfying way. A fabulously smooth and quiet protraction/retraction movement makes this an item no closet should be without…whether you are a fancy dresser, or not!

See you next week…in the meantime: shop www.WoodworkerExpress.com, your best source for closet organization, cabinet hardware and woodworking needs.
