Client Stories:
A Portland Couple’s Dream Storage Comes to Light
client: Travis and Savannah Rush
location: Portland, OR
design consultant: William Sedlar
What They Wanted
For Travis and Savannah Rush, part of building their dream home included maximizing clothing storage—especially for Savannah, a fashion enthusiast. They had remodeled two rooms—one would act as the primary closet, the second a dedicated space for accessories, dresses, and even a craft area—and called California Closets Portland to guide the transformation. Eager to create a showcase, the Rush’s had a single motto for the project: “Light it up!”
Designing a better life for these clients was a matter of listening deeply to their needs and vision, feeling their passion, and looking to our materials to help bridge the gap between the two.
How we did it
Design consultant William Sedlar recognized the Rush’s passion for striking design and efficient function. Working to achieve both, he designed a sleek unit in the primary closet to conceal clothes behind woodgrain doors and display shoes on elegant mirror-backed shelves. Textured glass fronts on the center island’s drawers complement its contemporary Chroma countertop, while a small compartment hosts the steamer for accessibility. In the second space, a full mirrored wall showcases purses and shoes, glass-door wardrobes store and protect dresses, and a countertop with drawers and shelving provide space to wrap gifts. If William could light it, he did: both units feature a range of ribbon, puck, strip, and sensor lights, plus specially-designed side lights for the island’s Chroma countertop.
final result
We couldn’t be happier!
A breathtaking custom solution that realized the Rush’s vision to a tee. Fully illuminated, each unit effortlessly achieves function and style—all while answering to the couple’s motto.
