Project: The organizer gets organized part 2

Monday, December 20th, 2010

the Dream Closet Makeover by Liz Dahmen

As a professional organizer I take pride in the way my house is organized. It is a reflection of the principles that I use to help my clients. Does that mean it looks like a CB2 catalogue? No way!  Just like everyone else, areas of my home range from being extremely organized to verging on the chaotic. And some spaces work fine, but aren’t realizing their potential.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

It is that time of the year again, smile for the camera!

We couldn’t believe that it’s the end of 2010 already! Even though we do have to say that it certainly has been an eventful year full of ups and downs for us. We experimented with lots of new things, created a whole new website and met lots of wonderful people along the way. We are humble and excited by the tasks and challenges that lay ahead of us, and we hope that our friends and associates will continue to have faith in us and enjoy this little ride that we built call EZarchitecture.

The cherry on your icing and the hot pepper on your tamale, for your space!

We had talked about the idea of using a “design totem” to inspire and strengthen a theme in a prior post. Often time we find that light fixtures makes for great candidates since they naturally draws your attention to them, plus their object like quality and repeated nature further reinforce the idea  behind your theme.

Which also means that finding the right light fixtures can make or break a design!

You can tell a lot about guy just by looking at his closet.

Making those classic details pop

Some time Flat White is just not going to do!

This nice airy apartment came us from the interior design blog Freshome, it is nicely furnished with some interesting artworks and furnishings but after looking through all the photos something bothered us. There are a lot of awesome details on the interior of this apartment but they sort of just fade into the background because of the flat white paint. We couldn’t help wondering if there are some ways where contrasting color could be used to increase the sense of depth and pop.

All about the specifying of the specifics!

As is often the case in many commercial lease in New York City, the landlord has agree to help built out the tenant space in according our needs. This can take place in a variety of scenarios; the landlord can provide a dollar per square foot contribution to the construction budget, or in other instances build out the space using their own contractor and architect in accordance to design provided by the tenant.
