An Inspiring Book Releases Today

I am so excited to about the launch of my friends book:
 The Collected Tabletop by Kathryn Crisp Greeley.

I am so excited about the release of her book featuring inspirations for entertaining. Kathy has combined her love for elegant chinaware, fun entertaining, and beautiful books creating a masterpiece all her own. I can't wait to get my signed copy in my hands and add it to my collection of beloved design books.

How do I get a custom closet from Asheville More Space Place, Asheville North Carolina?

Here is a step by step of how to get your own Asheville More Space Place Custom Closets:

1. Consider the areas (spaces) in your home that you need organization or help with. Don't overlook areas other than the master closet like the pantry, garage, kids rooms, etc. Here are some picture ideas to get you thinking.

2. Consider what you might want for a spending allowance so that you can share that with your designer. (It is OK to not know) Custom closets can be done on many levels from very budget minded to extravagant- you may not know what it is going to cost, but it is good to have some idea of what you wish to invest.

3. Visit the Asheville showroom or call or email Amanda for a complementary in-home consultation.

4. Amanda will measure your spaces and ask lots of questions about what you want to achieve - measuring your clothing lengths and count your shoes, etc.

5. Amanda will create a design for you using a computer-aided program where you can see your space in 3-D. You will need to select color from the color samples what you want your new closet to look like.

6. Once the design is approved materials are ordered and in couple weeks time our team of professional installers from the Asheville More Space Place store will arrive to complete your dream closet. To prepare for your install: you will need to make sure that the area is clean and ready for them to work. If you have existing closet shelving that needs to be removed you will want to have that done and the walls patched and painted - ready for your new closet shelving.

7. Typically when filling up your new closet this is an opportune time to purge and get rid of items that you don't wear. Homeowners in Western North Carolina find that the sections and dividers in the closet system helps them to organize and group like items making it easier to find what you want to wear for the day.

An introduction to Amanda of Asheville Custom Closets More Space Place

Hello! Well, I am sure many of you are wondering – who is this Asheville Custom Closet Amanda? I am a native of Burnsville and have called Western North Carolina home throughout my life. I have an Interior Design Bachelor’s Degree from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee. Interior design for me is not only a passion but a career. I enjoy helping people improve their lives and living environments thru better use of space planning, colors, textures, and furniture choices.

I am actively involved in the Asheville community with charity groups such as Meals On Wheels of Asheville and Hendersonville Home Builders Association’s annual TEAM Day. I am currently serving as the President of the Professional Women in Building Regional Chapter and was recently recognized by my peers as the Affiliate Member of the Year for the Asheville Home Builders Association for 2009.

For me, success is doing what you love as a career. I am fortunate to work for More Space Place Asheville, a closets and more company, that has moral and ethical standards in line with my personal beliefs and I am proud to work with each of my co-workers and installers. I really enjoy forming lasting relationships with realtors, builders, architects, remodel contractors, and of course homeowners of Western North Carolina.

More Space Place Asheville opened the showroom on Brevard Road in 2002, bringing the concept of Murphy Beds and home offices to Western North Carolina. The ownership recognized an under-serviced market for custom closets and storage solutions, as well as a need for design expertise and hired me in December 2006. Bringing years of design experience and furniture sales, along with construction knowledge, I work with builders and homeowners to marry their desires and budgets into a workable solution for their closets. I work to educate Asheville area homeowners on the advantages of our closets and other products and tailor them to your needs. Although we are known in the local area of Western North Carolina for our custom closets, we also specialize in Murphy beds, home offices, laundry rooms, entertainment units and any other storage needs you can dream up.
