IN THE 1987 FILM Broadcast
News, William Hurt’s char-
acter asks his fellow news
anchor (played by Albert
Brooks), “What do you do
when your life exceeds your
dreams?” Aaron snidely
advises, “Keep it to yourself.”
Normally I would heed
this advice, and maybe I will
tomorrow, but not today.
I am thrilled to be the new
editor in chief of Colorado
Homes & Lifestyles maga-
zine. I’ve been an avid
reader of this wonderful
publication for many years;
to be taking the helm is an
honest-to-goodness dream
come true.
I love Colorado. I first
visited this beautiful state in
1984. During that trip I met a charming young native named Chris. I’ve
been in love with the boy and the state ever since.
And I love home design magazines. Maybe you recognize my
name; several years ago I was the managing editor of Mountain Living
magazine, CH&L’s sister publication. If you don’t, then I look forward to
meeting you, chatting with you and hearing about what you’d like to
see in upcoming issues of CH&L.
But let’s get to the issue! It’s our Bed & Bath Issue, filled with dreamy
ideas for transforming those quiet spaces to which we escape after
long, busy days. We’ve scouted some great furnishings and linens to
get you started in creating a beautiful bedroom (page 17) as well as
cool new gadgets designed to help you get a good night’s sleep (page
31). And, of course, we’re bringing you our Bath of the Year winner, a
stunning, luxurious sanctuary that’s sure to inspire.
Finally, who doesn’t feel better when they’ve got a well-designed,
organized closet? Turn to our back page for expert tips on how to get
your own in order. And if you feel like your closet is beyond help, do not
despair. We’re teaming up with Closet Factory Colorado to bring you
our “From Messy to Marvelous” Closet Makeover contest. One lucky
winner will get a complete closet do-over. Go to
coloradohomesmag.com/ClosetMakeover for the details.
Happy Spring!

Creative RevivalALI DEJOHN believes you never grow
out of the need to create things, so she’s
resurrecting a bit of history by starting a
“creative retreat” for grown-ups. Called
The Makerie, its mission harks back to
the Chautauqua movement that swept
America in the mid-1920s, bringing
education and entertainment to those
outside of cultural centers.
Both professional and amateur artists
are welcome at Chautauqua in Boulder
from April 7-10. Guests will nurture their
creative spirit with classes such as block
printing, recycled art and pattern design,
taught by some of the nation’s most
inspired makers. Stay in one of
Chautauqua’s quaint cottages for added
inspiration. themakerie.com.

We find the rooms that feel just right—and tell you how to get the look[ ]
Our Favor i te Room
WHERE IT BEGAN As the room that noone wanted to claim at the 2010 Designer Show Houseto benefit The Children’s Hospital. When designerTonya Frank showed up on the scene of the house-in-progress, a 1929 gem designed by late architect TempleBuell, she was left with this dark, cramped space and justthree weeks to work a transformation.
But Frank, the owner and principal of Denver/Vail-based Dromma Designs, was energized by the tightturnaround: “They always say the last-minute thingstend to be the most successful,” she says.
A first glance told her the room needed to be bright-
ened and expanded, made to look bigger than it actuallyis. And she wasn’t afraid to do a little maneuvering to getthere. Frank had the heavy-looking cabinetry and barremoved, the skylight sealed and ceiling lights installed.Then everything was slathered in a coat of fresh whitepaint—and kept open and airy. “I didn’t want to bring indrapery to cover any of the windows,” Frank says. “I wastrying to bring the outside in.”
PERFECT TOUCHES The designerwanted to create a fresh vibe like you’d find in the Hamptons (apparent in the floral upholstery
BEFORE
and crisp pillows and benches),but she ended up tempering thelook with comfortable, naturalmaterials that feel at home inColorado: a textural jute rug, at w i g g y s i d e t a b l e a n d f l o o rlamps, and organic-themed art-work by Denver artists HeidiJung and Jeffrey Keith.
STYLE TIPS How do youmaster a bold mix like this one?Fearlessly, the designer says. “Don’tbe afraid to use color and mix a lot ofpatterns together.” Find that audacityhere in the pairing of sleek orangelamps and a rustic table, or thepython-skin-covered side tablepulled up alongside a lounge chairupholstered in a floral print.
From the result, you’d neverknow the designer pulled it alltogether so swiftly. “Most peoplecame and relaxed here during theshow home,” she says, which provesthe design’s success: though it makesa statement, it’s livable and inviting.

IT’S NO SECRET that Americans have a little trouble sleeping. In a2010 poll by the National Sleep Foundation, only 42 percent of us said weget a good night’s sleep every night (or almost every night), and nearly aquarter of us fessed up to using some type of sleep medication in thecourse of a year.
What gives? We could, perhaps, partly blame the technology that keepsus plugged in and connected around the clock. But here, we bring youtechnology that might help you do just the opposite: unplug and unwind.
close your eyesHow do you “turn off” your day when you barely made a dent in theto-do list? Instead of popping a pill, opt for a device that can help yourelax naturally.
Veteran gadget retailer Brookstone offers the Tranquil MomentsSleep Sound Therapy System. Available in both home and travel sizes,this clean-lined machine will lull you to sleep with one of 12 digitallyrecorded nature sounds (crickets or rain, anyone?).
Or coax all of your senses into relaxation with Gaiam’s AromaDiffuser Elite. The fragrance of natural essential oils (released by anaromatherapy diffuser), calming light and nature sounds all help youtune out pressing thoughts.
sweet dreamsMaybe your struggle isn’t going to sleep—it’s staying asleep. Factors suchas noise, light or room temperature can disrupt sleep patterns, as canlifestyle choices like diet and exercise.
If you require a pitch-black room for dreamy sleep, invest in room-darkening shades or curtains, perfect for those who must sleep during theday (Motorized Shades Denver has extensive options). Or go simple andstylish with a sleep mask from Lafayette-based Bona Notti, made of wash-able silk and hypoallergenic cotton and available in more than 45 designs.
To really uncover how you’re sleeping, try this slick little gadget: theSleeptracker by Gaiam. It looks like a wristwatch, but uses biofeedback

rise and shineTrade in your loud, jolting alarm clock for one that uses softer, less jarringsounds to rouse you (and looks a lot better, too).
Leave it to Danish retailer Bang & Olufsen to develop one of thesleekest, least intrusive alarm clocks on the market. The BeoTime AlarmClock, designed by Steffen Schmelling, not only looks chic and deliverswhat you’d expect from an alarm clock, but it syncs with other Bang &Olufsen products in your home, turning off the television or stereo afteryou’ve fallen asleep.
Don’t want to get tripped up by something too high-tech? Boulder-based Now & Zen offers a line of Asian-inspired clocks that use gentleacoustics. The Zen Alarm Clock features a subtle Tibetan bell-like chimethat strikes with increasing frequency over a 10-minute period, while theZen Timepiece sounds off using a brass bowl gong.
Apple junkies will love the TimeCommand Alarm Dock from StemInnovation. Just download a free app on your iPod, iPhone or iPad, loadyour device into the dock, and watch its screen display a customizablealarm clock that can even dim your bedside lamp in the evening and turnit back up in the morning.

Spyder’sWebThe founder of Spyder Active Sports and his wife create a custom home in Boulder that’s perfect for entertaining—and for showcasing the owner’s vintage race-car collection
BY SALLY STICH PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD
The first thing guests see upon arrival at David Jacobs and Jean Conway Jacobs’ northBoulder home is an iron gate with an imposing black widow spider embedded in it.The symbolism is not lost on those who know Jacobs, founder and former owner ofSpyder Active Sports, an upscale line of racing and recreational ski apparel. The blackwidow is the company’s logo, inspired by the contours of the padding on its original
1970s racing pants, which resembled a spider. “I’m a brand junkie,” Jacobs says, “and I realized thatthe edgy elegance of a black widow was unforgettable.”
Of course people who know Jacobs well also know he’s afraid of spiders. But a logo’s a logo. And where better to put it than on the gates to his five-acre spread where he and his wife, a com-munications consultant and psychotherapist, built a new custom home.
“We bought the land in 2005,” says Jacobs—the year after he sold the successful business he’dstarted in 1978. At the time, they lived across the street from what had been ranch land. When theowners of the ranch decided to subdivide the property, the couple jumped at the chance to buy afive-acre parcel.

The great room is framed by alder columns that also frame the view of the Flatirons beyond. Conway Jacobs’ one
concession to her husband: a TV above the fireplace. (His concession to her: the 75-foot lap pool.)
Though they’d never built a house before, they knew what they wanted: a home that maximized theviews, a dining room that accommodated large family gatherings, and a show garage for the six vintagerace cars Jacobs takes to competitions all over the world. He wanted the garage to be visible from thedining room so that during dinner parties the spotlighted cars would create drama for guests.
Working with architect John Mink and designer Meg Jonsen, the couple was open to sugges-tions. Mink, a proponent of Prairie-School architecture, immediately envisioned a low-slung housewith a roofline that mirrored the hills behind it and a presence on the site that seemed organic. The

often and the kitchen is a cook’s
dream. Conway Jacobs wanted
two smaller islands rather than
one long one so she wouldn’t
have to “run laps around it.” The

ing out onto a spectacular view.

couple agreed with his exterior vision, but they didn’t want a true Frank Lloyd Wright interior,which they felt would be too dark and woody.
Mink sited the house in the northwest corner of the lot—not only to maximize the couple’s ownviews of the Flatirons, but also to preserve the neighbors’ vistas. The site was also lowered five feetso that from the busy road nearby, only the home’s roof shows. “We didn’t want to offend thefoothills,” Jacobs says.
The horizontal exterior gives way to a soft contemporary interior, which, in spite of its 8,400-square-foot blueprint, feels warm and intimate. “We wanted rooms that felt comfortable for twopeople or 20,” Conway Jacobs says. True to their wishes, Meg Jonsen made sure each room standsas a unique space, defined by custom rugs and intimate arrangements of bespoke furniture. Curvedalder soffits soften the horizontal lines that frame each exterior view. Coved ceilings offer indirectlighting, and at night the rooms take on a warm glow against the dark skies.
Much of the home’s greatness is subtle rather than over-the-top. The walls are a creamyVenetian plaster, which was applied by hand with a trowel, a process that took nearly four months.The walnut floors are warmed by radiant heat; the glass-to-glass corner windows (a la Frank LloydWright) frame beautiful scenes; granite and onyx surfaces add elegance. “My father taught me tobuy the best I could afford,” Jacobs says. This house is a testament to that advice.
The couple lives in about 5,000 of the 8,400 square feet. (The seven-car show garage and the studio and two guest suites that sit above it take up a considerable amount of the remaining space.)“Each room we use is so beautifully arranged, so warmly lighted, so comfortable,” says Conway Jacobs,“that one friend said our home was like being at the St. Julien Hotel [in Boulder], only cozier.”
For Jacobs especially, the home allows him to enjoy his “toys”—the cars he stations there whenhe’s not traveling to races. (His vintage 1966 Lola T 70 was once owned by Parnelli Jones; his 1968Alfa Romeo T 33 was driven by Mario Andretti at Daytona.) No longer are they tucked away in astorage garage; they’re part of the decor, close enough to enjoy daily. As it should be for a man whoworked hard, plays hard and has a wife who appreciates his passion.
(above) The blue-and-cream master bedroom is filled with custom furniture, including two swivel chairs to catch

Sea Meets SkyA classic home with a modern twist
melds coastal Maine influences and Colorado style
After living in Massachusetts for many years, Nan and Chuck Procknow adjusted to Denver with a little help from theirNew England heritage. They brought with them family antiques andmemories, and built a fresh new house inspired by summers spent on thecoast of Maine.
To execute their vision, the Procknows hired architect Don Rugglesof DHR Architecture to design a two-story house in GreenwoodVillage that would have “lots of New England touches,” but would be “abit more modern and clean-lined than a typical New England house,”says Nan Procknow, an interior designer, who collaborated with thearchitect. “We wanted to bring a little of the East coast with us, yet fitthe Colorado landscape.”
BY NANCY RICHMAN MILLIGAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD
A hand-painted mural by local artists Laura Chappell and Barbara Fisher is based on
photographed scenes of a Maine island where homeowner Nan Procknow’s parents
once owned a home. An interior designer, Procknow was drawn to the lines of the
draped-glass-bead chandelier. “It’s a perfect combination of old and new,” she says.
The dining room buffet is a treasured family antique.
48
The 5,500-square-foot house is rooted in17th-century shingle-style architecture, whichis defined by a sense of intimacy, comfort andprotectiveness. Ruggles took the bones of thestyle—which is somewhat relaxed, not totallysymmetrical, but with well-proportioned rectangles and simple curves—and gave thelook a modern expression. “We responded tothe Colorado environment by opening up inte-rior vistas and connecting to the outdoors.There was a conscious effort to relax the floorplan and let it flow and breathe,” he says. “Morefreedom is what the West is all about.”
The rooms are spacious and open with highceilings and large windows; the color scheme islight and fresh with hues that blend and flowfrom room to room. “I used a lot of pastels tobring in the light. Coming from the East coast,we always try to maximize light,” Procknowsays. “We weren’t used to the bright light ofColorado. Even on rare gray days here, thehouse is light and cheery.”
(opposite, top) The formal pillars and arches
of the home’s exterior speak to the shingle-
style architecture of coastal Maine, with
large overhangs to protect the house from
Colorado’s strong sunlight. (opposite,
bottom) The homeowners enjoy fabulous
sunsets and mountain views from the wide
back porch. (above) Procknow designed the
living room fireplace with traditional pillars
and gray Pietra Cardosa marble. She bought
the painting above the fireplace (by Frank
Strazzulla) in Boston. The elegant Duncan
Phyfe sofa, a family piece, and patterned rug
from Azari Rug Gallery are antiques. (left)
The 17.5-foot-high ceiling and exposed truss
in the family room are a nod to Colorado
architectural style. “We’ve taken the idea of
a trussed room, like a church or barn, and
scaled it to fit the house,” says architect
Don Ruggles. Twelve-foot-tall bookshelves
further dramatize the height of the room,
and cherry-wood pocket doors separate the
family room from the kitchen.
49
The blues and greens that once reminded her of the oceannow hint at the Colorado sky and evergreens. Soft green glasstiles comprise the kitchen backsplash and distinct accents ofblue and green color the bathrooms. A hand-painted mural inthe dining room is articulated in watery blues and greens.
The color revs up in the couple’s daughter’s blue bedroom,which is a perfect reflection of old and new, Eastern Seaboardand Mountain West. A lighthearted toile wallpaper pairs witha bold, modern plaid for the bedspread and upholstery. Thebed is a New England antique, but the views from the built-inwindow seat are of the Rockies. “The house fits our East coastsensibilities and our new location,” Procknow says.
The kitchen features beadboard ceilings and ten-inch cove moldings.
Wide-planked natural cherry flooring is a warm counterpart to the
painted, furniture-like cabinetry that Procknow custom designed. The
5-by-13-foot kitchen island countertop, built from mahogany with holly
insets, is reminiscent of a ship’s deck. “It is incredibly durable and
catches the eye,” she says. The Waterworks sanded glass backsplash tile
looks like beach glass. “It has a subtle New England flavor and fits the
backdrop of the mountains beautifully.”
51
(above) The master bathroom has a subtle softness that
beckons you in. The walls are painted in a watery strié
pattern and the cabinets are a pale Swedish blue. Glass
knobs reflect light and Carrera marble countertops add a
sense of luxury. The basketweave marble tile floors add
texture. The tub and shower are separate, per the home-
owner’s preference. “It’s inconvenient to step over the
tub, so I don’t mix a tub and shower,” Procknow says.
“I like a separate, freestanding shower with lots of glass.”
(left) This second floor bathroom has classic New
England style, with beadboard wainscoting and tub sur-
round, crisp polished-chrome faucets, and a clean-lined,
marble-topped vanity. Even the paint color, Benjamin
Moore’s Kennebunkport Green, is a coincidental nod to
Maine. The basketweave marble tile floor has a green
inlay to match. (opposite) The couple’s daughter’s bed-
room is as fresh as a summer day in Colorado. Designed
around a crisp blue-and-white palette, the room features
a mix of old and new with traditional toile wallpaper and
a modern, oversized plaid fabric. The built-in window seat
provides the perfect spot for reading.
53
For the kitchen and bathrooms, Procknow customdesigned furniture-like cabinetry that plays off the white-painted moldings and trim found throughout the house. “Thestyle is honest and straightforward, but with a richness to it,”Ruggles says. “For example, the individual moldings are ratherspare, but layered together, they make a strong statement.”
A New England sensibility is particularly evident in thebathrooms, where Nan chose classic finishes such as bead-board, marble countertops, basketweave marble tile floorsand polished chrome plumbing fixtures. “I always try to usedifferent materials in the variousbathrooms,” she says, “but tie themin with similar cabinetry and thecommon thread of simple, cleanlines that maximize space.”
Although the exterior of the
shingled house features the columns and arches found incoastal Maine, the home is positioned so the Procknows cantake in mountain views from their wide back porch. “A largeoverhang creates protection,” Ruggles says. “In the late after-noon, the homeowners can move into the shade and enjoy thesunset.” Three sets of French doors lead to the kitchen, din-ing room and front hall, accommodating the indoor/outdoorlifestyle that’s famous in Colorado.
“I feel like we have this oasis of East-coast-meets-West.The house fits in its setting so beautifully,” Procknow says.
“There are stone walls made ofMassachusetts bluestone and gran-ite, yet we can look at the moun-tains and know exactly where weare: Colorado. We love it here.”

Time to Retreat
fit for a queen and her king
These distinctly different
spaces prove your style
can—and should—extend to
your master bathroom.
Let them inspire your own
at-home sanctuary
BY HILARY MASELL OSWALD PHOTOGRAPHY BY DON RILEY
Design Goals Designer Lane Oliver’s husband-and-wife clients had twovery different ideas for their master bathrooms: She wanted a bath andcloset reminiscent of a French boudoir, while he wanted a masculine spacewith strong lines and rich colors. “I needed to create a flow between thetwo bathrooms,” Oliver says. “These spaces were very different in design,but needed to be equally opulent in style.” Perfect Touches In the wife’s French boudoir, Oliver dove into the details.She ordered moldings from a custom millwork shop and had them faux-finished “to give depth and texture and make them look old.” Crystalbeads trim the drapery; jewel-like knobs adorn the cabinets; a NancyCorzine custom-upholstered chair shows off pearl buttons down its back,reminiscent of a beautifully tailored dress.
And then there’s the sparkle, courtesy of smartly placed lights and mirrors.A birdcage chandelier by Laura Lee hangs above the tub, and sconces in the
56
vanity mirror reflect soft light throughout the room(thanks in part to mirrors inset in the cabinetry). In thedressing room, a Schonbek chandelier gives a regal glowwith help from matching sconces.
In his bathroom, Oliver achieved a library-like feelwith dark wood tones and deep gray and blue hues. Thetile pattern on the floor adds a strong geometric element—“good for a man’s space”—while the Statesvillechair is reminiscent of a 19th-century English men’s club.In case anyone doubts wallpaper can be manly, these wallslook perfectly masculine in a print from SJW Studios.
Tricks of the Trade “There are so many hard materialsand edges in a bath, it’s nice to soften the space byadding upholstery pieces,” Oliver suggests. “An ottomanor little chair would be lovely, but if those won’t fit, evena sumptuous rug will help.”Design Details INTERIOR DESIGN: LLane Oliver, Lane Elisabeth OliverInterior Design, (303) 722-4288, leointeriordesign.com.ARCHITECTURE: TTodd Remington, (303) 279-8558,toddremington.com.

reflective styleDesign Goals With a site on Boulder’s western edge, the ownerswanted a home that would help them turn their backs on the city andconnect to the outdoors. And the master bath would be no exception.Perfect Touches The house itself is half glass—but creating a bath-room with so much transparent material was a unique challenge.Enter architects E.J. Meade, Claire Jordan and Ken Andrews of Arch11, who found clever ways to maximize the feel of the outdoors whilemaintaining the owners’ privacy.
A wall of windows to the east stands opposite the recessed mirrorsthat hang above a floating vanity—“so you always have a view outdoors,even if you’re not looking out the windows,” Meade says. To protect theowners’ privacy, the team applied a thin band of translucent film on thewindows at just the right height. Around the tub, large lift-and-slidewindows open, giving the feel of bathing outside. There’s even an“unbelievable view from the loo,” Meade laughs.
The palette of materials plays up the room’s connection to nature.
The bathing area is set apart by a jarrah wood platform—whichallows a kind of celebration of the bathing ritual, Jordan says. The 6-by-12-inch Walker Zanger tiles surround the pièce de résistance, anAgape tub, and continue into the shower. A soapstone vanity topscustom-built jarrah wood cabinetry and is paired with Carrera marble wall tiles from Alfredo Salvatori’s Bamboo Collection. “Wemade the vanity as quiet and monolithic as possible,” Meade says.Tricks of the Trade To maximize your space and create a clean-linedlook, consider how elements can serve double duty. For example, thebench outside the shower acts as a shaving stand within the shower.“As with any minimalist project, you can’t imagine how much detail-ing there is to make it look simple,” Meade says.Design DetailsARCHITECTURE: AArch II, Inc., (303) 546-6868, arch11.com.CONSTRUCTION: HHammerwell, Inc., (303) 443-3430, hammerwell.com.

Design Goal This Federal-style home in Denver’s Cheesman Parkneighborhood has some serious historic charm, which the homeownerwanted to preserve during the whole-house remodel, right down tothe master bath.
That didn’t mean she had to live with the room’s footprint,though, which was a bit too small to accomplish her design goals. Soarchitect Steve Barsch expanded the space to accommodate a largesteam shower, and interior designer Beth Armijo set to work choos-ing classic materials that feel sophisticated and appropriate for thehome’s historic roots.
Armijo opted for classic Calcutta marble for the shower andfloors—“because it’s timeless”—and kept the cast-iron tub that wasoriginal to the home. Simple Kohler pedestal vanities flank the cus-tom-built storage, and pretty glass knobs add sparkle.Perfect Touches Bathroom lighting is important. Here, Armijopaired overhead can lighting with wall sconces above the mirrors.“You want light from above as well as closer to your face,” she recom-
mends. Armijo opted for a soft blue for the walls. “We wanted thewhite to stand out,” she says, “but you can have contrast without a big,bold color.” Plus, using blues in a bathroom can change the look ofyour skin tone, Armijo points out, so selecting a subtle hue is best.Tricks of the Trade For an elegant way to make your bathroom moreinteresting, use the same material in different areas but change thesize, shape or layout—the way Armijo used varying sizes of Calcuttamarble on the floors and in the shower.
That kind of restraint gives this bath its serene vibe. “I love theoverall mood of this room,” Armijo says. “The elements come togetherto create a cohesive whole. It’s definitely a sanctuary.”Design DetailsINTERIOR DESIGN: BBeth Armijo, Armijo Design Group, (303) 877-3343, armijodesigngroup.com.ARCHITECTURE: SSteve Barsch, (303) 534-1121.CONSTRUCTION: LLarraz Building Excellence, (303) 393-1950, larrazbuildingexcellence.com.

InspirationOn ParadeColorado home toursoffer perks for buyers,
redecorators andneighbors alike
BY ELISABETH KWAK-HEFFERANELIZA RICHARDS
WHETHER YOU’RE shoppingfor a new home, looking for ideas foryour next big remodeling project, orsimply curious about life in a partic-ular neighborhood, turn to this season’s crop of home tours. Theseevents, often hosted by builders’associations, historic preservationgroups or neighborhood clubs, granta behind-the-curtains peek into acommunity’s standout residences.Some tours feature new builds readyfor purchase, some open privatelyowned homes to the public and others showcase a mix of both. Alloffer a wealth of inspiration.
For prospective buyers, thesetours are more than a window intoindividual homes for sale—they’re away to take the pulse of a neighbor-hood. Home tours “give a feel for different communities,” says Vicki Pelletier, vice president of operations at the Home BuildersAssociation of Metro Denver. “Youcan see how that community lives,
how it thrives, and what the neigh-bors and schools are like.” Hometours also make it easy for vacationhomebuyers to comparison-shop indifferent mountain towns. “Visitorsare interested in seeing what theirdollar buys them in our local mar-ket,” says Laurie Peter of ColoradoGroup Realty in Steamboat Springs.
Those not in the market for anew home also benefit from thetours, which show off properties at their best—from beautifullyappointed historic residences tomodern dwellings. “Model homesare great for giving you new ideas,”Pelletier says. “They’re all very cur-rent on color trends, lighting, andways to open up and soften a room.You can walk in and imagine thatroom as if it were in your ownhome.” At the Colorado GroupRealty’s annual Parade of Homes,people bring their cameras andnotepads, Peter says. And becausesome events invite the builders,
designers and landscapers to minglewith visitors, guests can connectwith local experts and garner inspiration for their own home.

If you’re building or renovating a home,
involve a professional closet designer from
the get-go. He or she will be able to look at
your blueprints and tell you if your architect
has carved out enough closet space and if it
flows well within your bedroom suite.
Most professionally designed closets are
custom-fabricated off-site. That means you
won’t have a carpenter tracking dust through
your halls, and you’ll have access to a whole
portfolio of options beyond your standard
builder-grade shelf and rod.
Decide if you’re going strictly utilitarian,
lavishly ornate, or somewhere in between—
and pinpoint your budget accordingly.
(Lestikow has designed closets ranging from
$800 to $50,000.)
Think about how you like your clothes
presented: Pants hanging straight or folded
over? Sweaters in drawers or on padded
hangers? Shoes tucked away or on display?
These preferences will help your closet
designer create a smart, efficient space that’s
perfectly tailored to you and your wardrobe.
Follow the latest trend in closet design and
opt for a space that acts like a full-fledged
dressing room—with storage for everything
you need to get ready for the day—and looks
as beautiful as the rest of your home.
First, put fashion forward. “What I see in a
lot of closets is a mishmash of clothes,” says
Polly Lestikow, closet designer and president
of Closet Factory Colorado, “because people
don’t know what image they’re trying to
portray.” Ask yourself what kind of image
you want to create at work and in your
casual life, then eliminate what doesn’t fit
with that image.
A professional organizer can help you
wade through the oftentimes paralyzing
decisions about what can stay and what
should go, says Laura Leist, president of
the National Association of Professional
Organizers and author of Eliminate Chaos:
The 10-Step Process to Organize Your
Home & Life. “Resist the urge to say,
‘I might wear that some day,’ or ‘that will
fit after I lose this 20 pounds.’”
creating a high-style closet
—Caroline Eberly
Have fun with the “frosting.” Crown molding,
jewelry drawers, furniture-like built-ins, belt
and tie racks, ironing boards and mirror-
encased cabinets are just a few of the extra
touches that can take your closet from
practical storage unit to luxurious haven.
Understand the payoff. “Being organized
saves time. It provides peace of mind.
It allows us to wear all the hats we have to
wear,” Lestikow says. You won’t lose time
trying to unearth your favorite sweater or
spend money on duplicates of items you
already own.
Once you get organized, stay organized.
“Everyone’s definition of being organized is
different,” Leist says. “Whatever ideal you
chose to create for yourself, you need to
maintain what that is. It’s not good enough
to go organize your closet; you have to do
the maintenance, the follow-up work.”
