Mother’s Day happens to fall in the same month as National Home Improvement Month, and that gave us an idea. What custom cabinet projects would be a hit with Moms? The Cabinet Maker has lots of ideas. And the best part: We can customize each one of these projects to suit each unique space and taste — and each unique Mom.
- A better way to organize the kitchen
We hear it all the time: “I want a kitchen where everything can be put in its proper place!” All too often, we outgrow our kitchens as our families get larger and our collection of kitchen supplies grows bigger. If Mom would love a more organized kitchen, we can help.
The Cabinet Maker can suggest dozens of solutions that can be as simple as converting cabinets to pull-out drawers or finding a better solution for that inconvenient corner cabinet. A built-in spice rack, a drawer-within-drawer or a tray rack can make all the difference. We can consult with Mom, assess the existing kitchen layout, and make suggestions for a more efficient environment.
- A space to organize hobby supplies
Whether it’s knitting or scrapbooking, gardening or jewelry making, photography or genealogy, hobbies involve a lot of stuff. And as anyone with a hobby knows, that stuff needs to be organized so things are easy to find when you need them. Why not convert a closet or niche to the ideal hobby center for Mom?
Once the Cabinet Maker learns about the tools, materials and resources Mom’s hobby involves, we can tailor a storage solution for her. Trays for holding beads? Bins for storing yarn? Felt-lined cubby holes for camera lenses? Shallow drawers with inserts for sorting craft supplies? No problem! We’ll make Mom’s hobby closet functional and attractive while optimizing the space that’s available.
- A laundry room that makes the job easier
What would Mom do if she could design the perfect laundry room or laundry nook? Maybe each family member would have a separate hamper. Maybe it’s extra storage space for laundry supplies or more countertop space for folding. The Cabinet Maker can consult with her and design the laundry room she always wanted.
- A storage “locker” or bench for all that gear
Everyone in any household has some kind of gear: sports gear, workout gear, school gear, office gear … the list goes on. And without a way to keep it organized, all that stuff either gets lost, becomes a tripping hazard, or both. Some Moms we’ve worked with have solved that problem with locker-type storage benches.
They function just the ways a sports locker does, with a cubby for each person, hooks, a place to sit while you’re lacing your shoes, and a place to stow footwear. The Cabinet Maker can custom-design a storage bench to fit the space available and handle the stuff that needs to be organized. We can even do pegboard-style coat hooks that can be positioned higher as kids grow. And with summer break just around the corner, now is a great time to work on a design.
- A his-and-her bathroom vanity
Here’s an upgrade that adds a little bit of luxury without a complete overhaul. If you have enough room for it, two sinks instead of one is a great way to share the bathroom more conveniently while having one’s own space — no more tussling for sink time when you’re rushing to be somewhere. The Cabinet Maker can custom-design a vanity that optimizes storage space and suits your personal taste. We can also incorporate special touches like a custom drawer designed to hold a blow dryer and curling iron.
- An indoor “She Shed”
A She Shed (as opposed to a Man Cave) is typically an outdoor shed converted into a special retreat where mom can relax, do yoga, read — or just get some time to herself. Here in Wisconsin, an outdoor solution isn’t always practical. But what about finding a spot inside the house that can be custom-designed as mom’s special place? Whether it’s a window seat outfitted with special lighting or a nap nook with extra storage and privacy, if you find the space The Cabinet Maker can consult with mom on a design just for her.
