  Maxwell Residence “The Vineyards” “Sex in the City” Loving a challenge, we were very excited when we were asked to create a “Sex in the City” closet for a new client, Ms. Lauren Maxwell. Needing more information to proceed, I rented the movie and watched it, paying attention to every last detail, to determine what constituted a “Sex in the City” closet. With this information, we could start planning the perfect closet for Lauren. Meeting Lauren, my first impression was a sophisticated, feminine business woman, with a passion for fashion and shoes! Together we decided shoes would be the focal point, as in the movie. Lauren worked closely with our team to choose just the right features and finishes to create her dream closet. It was a great experience for our design team. We chose high gloss white drawer fronts, accented with brushed stainless finished doors, along with frosted glass inserts and matching brushed stainless shoe rods. The frosted glass and shoe rods, are both features we gleaned from the movie. To reach the high glamor feel, we paid close attention to details for those finishing touches: mirrors behind the shoes, a top rail, accent pieces above the center drawers and island drawers in brushed stainless to tie in with the doors. Beautiful pearl blue granite and a sparkly crystal chandelier, complete this feminine haven. It was especially rewarding to have Lauren say “My favorite room in my house is my closet!” That said, our Advanced Closet and Storage team, deems our first theme closet as a great success. |
