Linen closet makeover
If you’ve ever shuddered at the thought a houseguest trying to grab a towel from your linen closet, or if some personal care product has ever stuck to a linen closet shelf (or worse yet, toppled over and leaked onto everything below), then take heart. There really are proper ways to fold linens and prevent personal care product mishaps. Your linen closet may never look like “Martha” did it, but it can become a secret source of pride.
Imagine being able to ask your houseguests to grab a set of towels (or whatever) from the linen closet.
Organized! by Romanic® serves one client every autumn just to re-fold linens before the holidays. She loves it when her out-of-town guests “ooh and ahhh” over her tidy linen closet. If they only knew!
Replacing obsolete shelving
Original shelving had collapsed
One client called Organized! by Romanic® because when she moved into her new condo, the outdated shelving installed by the previous homeowner collapsed.
New adjustable closet shelving
Organized! by Romanic® only uses completely adjustable closet shelving so that as the client’s needs change over time, the client can easily raise, lower, remove, or add shelves and clothes hanging rods. Once the new adjustable shelves were up, all of the client’s clothes and other items fit easily into the closet. Sometimes clients don’t have too much stuff; sometimes they just need a better storage system for their stuff.
Seven-year-old girl’s room
Bedroom closet plan sketch
Organized! by Romanic® started this room before the family had completely moved into their new home. Organized! by Romanic® advised the parents on how to create a room for their 7-year-old daughter that would serve her well right through her college years so that they would not have to buy furniture more than once for their daughter.
Adjustable closet organizing system lasts through college
Organized! by Romanic® used space planning techniques to create the easily adjustable custom closet. As the 7-year-old grows up, the family can easily raise, lower, add, or remove parts of the closet so their daughter’s closet will change to accommodate the changes in her clothing and shoes. The teal hangers are special child-sized hangers, and they are the only part of this room that this 7-year-old will out grow before she is old enough to move out into her own home.
LED lights under the lofted bed: nice touch
We opted for strings of LED lights on a timer to create some bedtime ambiance.
Forget buying new bedroom furniture every 3-5 years
Most parents will re-do a child’s room, including buying new furniture, every 3 to 5 years as their child grows. Other than re-painting to change colors and adding adult-size clothes hangers, these parents will never have to spend more money on their daughter’s bedroom.
Organized girl’s room offers excellent long-term value
This Organized! by Romanic® little girl’s room cost more up front but will more than pay for itself as the child grows up.
Three-year-old boy’s room
Organized! by Romanic® started this room before the family had completely moved from their old home into this home. Organized! by Romanic® advised the parents on how to create a room for their 3-year-old son that would safely serve him well right through his college years so that they would not have to buy furniture more than once for their son. We located a company that makes assemble-on-site customizable higher-end solid wood loft beds sturdy enough to last through college.
Customized loft bed for 3-yr-old
There are similarly styled loft beds available for a lot less money, but they will not last 20 years like this one will. Organized! by Romanic® special ordered the handles for the ladder because 3-year-old hands were too small to safely grasp the wood ladder. The loft was installed over 12 inches lower than it can be installed so that it meets safety codes for protecting a 3-year-old. Extra bed rails were installed so that if the child were to try to jump on the lower loft, he cannot fall off.
Check out the LED lights beneath the lofted bed!
Fun finishing touches: we added LED strings on a timer for bedtime mood lighting.
