Looking for Great Closet Organization Ideas?

I made a mistake.

Recently, talking closet organization ideas with Lisa Lennard, Vice President of eCommerce and Information Technology for California Closets, I said that, in home remodeling, closets would be one of the last things a homeowner might think about doing.

Then, looking at my own house and home remodeling ideas, I realized that I had it backwards. These cool projects are what homeowners are really anxious to get to. They just have to wade through all the less-interesting stuff first.

So, assuming that you've done the drywall and the electrical and the painting and all that--you are now cordially invited to think closets. Let's begin.

What's the Idea?

Max out your shelving and storage areas; you will always end up wanting more than you think you do.

This picture shows a closet-lover's dream. Even though the material appears to be solid white melamine atop particle board (more on this later), it's actually California Closet's premium Lago® line of finishes. From this distance, the finish is a bit hard to see...

But the sheer awesomeness of having billions of spaces to put your stuff should be quite apparent.
