Client Stories:
A Clean-lined Closet for Creative Consultant Michelle Adams
client: Michelle Adams
location: Ann Arbor, MI
design consultant: Janice Fischer
What She Wanted
After remodeling and living in a 1920s Colonial for years, creative consultant and editor Michelle Adams set out on a new project: the complete renovation of a new mid-century modern home. Though big on character and open space, the house needed work—especially in terms of functional storage in the master bedroom. Wanting a solution that neatly organized and hid everything from sight while staying true to the home’s aesthetic, Michelle called California Closets Michigan to create a custom design that achieved the style and functionality she desired.
My favorite part is the center section. The wide countertop space above the drawers allows for space to curate each day’s outfit. Staging at its best!
How we did it
Michelle started the process by sharing an inspiration photo with design consultant Janice Fisher, which highlighted her vision for long, clean lines and feature lighting. Janice translated this desire into a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling custom unit that stored Michelle’s wardrobe to a T. Multiple hanging sections of varying heights corral dresses, skirts, shirts, and pants, while pull-out shoe shelves keep her collection protected and accessible. In the center, drawers provide concealed storage, and shelves above offer a chic display space. Custom lighting throughout spotlights her entire wardrobe.
final result
Since my closet was designed specifically to accommodate my wardrobe, everything has a place, which makes it super easy to keep things organized all the time. The way my wardrobe looks in these photos is the way it looks every morning when I open up the closet doors. It's a dream!
A streamlined storage solution that blends seamlessly with her home’s mid-century style. Plus, push-to-open doors remove the need for handles, resulting into a clean-lined solution from inside to out.
