Bathrooms for most of us are small spaces that need to store a lot of items for more than one family member.  Many of us have more stuff to store than we have space to store it!  Everyone dreams of new cabinets built around their storage needs and their dream design.  Sometimes new cabinetry isn”t an option.

Entryway Organization

cluttered entryway

 

The area of your home that serves as the main entry likely gets abused and overlooked. However, it is also an area that you use a lot.  Wouldn’t it be nice if it functioned well and looked nice too? It is possible!

 

Of course we would be happy to build you custom cabinets to maximize the space and conceal your clutter, but we also know that projects like that don’t always happen overnight. Here are some quick solutions to common entryway dilemmas. Our Minnesota winters can really put an entryway through its paces, so you have to plan ahead.

summer gear
1.  Start by removing the summer gear. It is sad, but necessary. Put summer shoes in a tote and move light jackets to another closet – think guest room if possible. If not, put those in a tote as well. You will need all the room you can get casino online for the bulkier winter clothes.
2.  Get a boot tray, which is a rubbery mat with lipped edges. It provides a place for snowy shoes and boots to go and saves you from stepping on cold wet spots.

baskets3.  Come up with a place for some baskets. One for each kiddo in the house, adults can probably share. This basket is where each family member’s hats, mittens, and scarves go. There are tons of cute containers, so if you can’t stash these in a closet get some that you won’t mind looking at. It will eliminate digging through a heap in the morning as you rush out the door.

 

 

4.  If you have little ones in your house consider adding some of those handy 3M Command Adhesive hooks at a low level in your closet. They can easily be removed later, but often there is plenty of space down low for smaller jackets and they can hang it up and get it down themselves.

scarf hanger5.  If you have a collection of scarves, get yourself a scarf hanger like this one on amazon.com. They can keep up to twenty scarves organized on a single hanger. Brilliant.
Simple ideas to make your entryway a bit more organized.

Here are some pictures of cabinet solutions if you are ready for new cabinets too!

Six Pre Winter Cleaning Chores

 

Six Pre-Winter Chores

leaves

Spring cleaning gets a lot of attention, but I am far more motivated to do a deep autumn cleaning. Knowing that we are about to spend a lot of time in our home encourages me to make it the best it can be. There are countless things one can do around the house, the list never ends…but here are a few suggestions for things to get done before the snow flies and the temperature dips.

Clean the exterior of your windows. There is a long stretch ahead of looking out those windows and you’ll be happy to have a clear view. The forecast looks promising for some good days yet to get it done. Start with the windows you look out the most, so if you run out of time, light, or energy the important ones will be done.

Have your furnace, chimney, and flues inspected. Clean the glass door of your fireplace. If you have a gas fireplace, vacuum the inside of the firebox and the logs. Birds like to build nests atop of the outside vent, so check that area prior to using the fireplace. Now is also the time to clean or replace furnace filters.

gutter cleaning

Once the leaves are down, it is a good time to clean the gutters one last time prior to spring. The composting leaves and debris will be a gross mess in the spring and the added weight is hard on the gutters, so get it done now.

If you like to grill year-round, your grill may be nasty by this point in the season. Take the time to clean it now and it will work well over the winter. And who wants to clean it in January?

kitchen cleaning

You will likely be doing more indoor cooking over the months ahead, so the kitchen deserves more than a quick once over. Pull out the fridge and vacuum under it and the coils on the back. It may surprise you how many dust bunnies live under there. You may also find Barbie shoes and Matchbox cars – bonus! Clean your oven, so it is ready to bake those holiday meals and treats.

 

 

Next time you’re at the store stock up on big stuff – water softener salt, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap – the stuff that fills the cart and makes pushing it over a snow covered parking lot feel like a major chore.

 

Daylight savings is also a good time to replace the batteries in smoke detectors and flip mattresses!

 

Tackle this short list and you will be in good shape for the months ahead!

Universal Design for Kitchens

We were asked to participate in the Minnesota State Fair this year and are really excited about what we get to do! We will be designing and building the kitchen for the Wiser Living Idea House.

Wiser Living is an award-winning exhibit presented by the Minnesota State Fair in partnership with Aging Services of Minnesota http://www.agingservicesmn.org/ and Older But Wiser Living http://olderbutwiserliving.com/wiser-living-exhibit/. The number of people trying to age in place has never been greater.

Our kitchen will focus on accessibility and universal design. Of course we will have lots of ideas for roll out shelves! We will have spice storage, roll outs for pots and pans, as well as a solution for those terrible corner spaces. The entire home showcases smart solutions to help people age at home. Many of the products features are great ideas to make anyone’s life easier, regardless of age.

The Wiser Living Idea Home is located outside the 4-H Building on Cosgrove Avenue. Here is a map for the entire grounds. Be sure to Like our Facebook page for a chance to win free tickets to the fair. We will do a drawing each week now until the fair starts.

Custom garage cabinetry? You bet! We built this kitchen for a client who has an amazing man cave in the Garage Solution Condominium development. It was a lot of fun to build a kitchen in a space typically used for cars and storage.

We share this not expecting everyone to install a kitchen in their garage, but rather to point out two things. First, the beauty of having things custom made for your needs. Since everything we do pokies online is designed and built for your needs, there isn”t a place we can”t build custom cabinetry for. Garage? Basement? Motor Home? No problem! Secondly, the Let’s get back to this strong Mars in capricorn love horoscope and in the 1st House who dominates the natal chart and forms a series of aspects both harmonious and tough with other planets. garage is not a space to ignore, but rather one to utilize. For some that means an entertaining space while for others it will be shoe cubbies or sports equipment storage. We can help with it all. We have a variety of materials and finishes that we use for both durability and cost effectiveness. Don”t hesitate to contact us to discuss options.

Here is another cabinet we built for another garage. Different finish and style, but the same focus on customizing your cabinetry for your needs.

Why install pull out shelves?

What are the benefits of installing pull out shelves in your existing cabinetry?

Roll Out Shelves Add Value to Your Cabinetry

Roll Out shelves are a great way to add value. Not only do they help organize and de-clutter your space, but they add accessibility and storage space. Many times we can add in extra levels of storage from what you currently have. Our shelves fully extend outside the cabinet allowing us to space the shelves closer together since there is no need to leave clearance space for items. They are also a great selling feature. We have many customers who put them in one home and when they move, can’t wait to add them to their new space.

Roll Out Shelves Add Accessibility

You have easy access to 100% of your cabinet space. No more bending down or crawling around on the floor to find the item you are looking for. We also have upper cabinet solutions to make those high spaces more accessible.

Superior Construction

We use solid maple dovetail drawer box construction and full extension 100 pound capacity drawer slides. Solid wood and dovetail joints make for a more sturdy and durable product. Our full extension slides allow you to access the items at the back of the drawer easily. Each shelf can hold 100 pounds. That’s a lot of canned goods!

Custom Built for Your Cabinet

We don’t have any standard sizes or designs. Each shelf is built to your space. The interior of the box can be customized with dividers, knife blocks, and can managers, just to name a few. Our shelves are also height adjustable. If you need to move them up or down, it’s a matter of removing a couple of screws and it takes only a minute.

Professionally Measured and Installed

We come to your home and do a design consultation to start with. We will help you figure out the best place to put roll outs and how to customize them to meet your needs. Then we build them to your specifications and install them in your existing cabinets.

Standard Pricing

All of our roll outs are $170 each, no matter what size. That price includes the initial consultation, measure, build, and installation. If you want to add dividers to the drawer , knife blocks, etc, there is an additional $25 charge.
