This week we had Mary Cool in studio, the Rhode Island California Closet designer. California Closets set the standard for custom home storage in 1978 and remain the industry benchmark. Closet Systems are considered an important upgrade for many buyers, just like renovated kitchens and baths. Everyone seems to have more stuff than ever before and most of that gets crammed into closets when the home goes on the market. Buyers look into those closets and see not enough storage space. California Closets mastered the art of spatial design, creating custom solutions for every room of the home in a variety of configurations, finishes and styles. They design media centers, garages, pantries, laundries, offices, and of course closets from a broad portfolio of materials. Selection includes state of the art "green" material from Italy (this meets the strict Euro standards); cherry and maple woods (in many stains); and 10 styles of high performance laminates. California Closets work with architects, designers, builders and realtors. They are called in to add value and solve problems. Architects use them to create storage which adds value to a home. Designers use California Closets to add style while maximizing the storage in a home. The California Closet experience begins with a free in home consultation. They listen, measure, determine needs and budget, and design a solution unique for that client. Take it from me; the process is both productive and enjoyable. Simplifying, organizing and creating order gives serenity and peace. If you would like a free in home consultation with a California Closet Representative, call Mary Cool direct at 401-596-2039 or tool free at 1-800-225-6901. This Week's Real Estate Insight The latest Cost vs. Value study found a major Bedroom remodel will return 70% of costs. But beyond that lies the added value of a selling point of distinction for homes on the market. How valuable is it to you for your children to be able to get ready for school in an organized manner? How do you put a value on the "intangibles" like happiness and functionality?California Closets: Adding Value and Creating Order
