Susan Rigone

I began designing at the age of 10. My friend and I designed, built, and decorated a home for our trolls. I have 25 plus years’ experience in construction and design.

My uniqueness as a designer comes from the desire to create a space that fits your lifestyle. I let your decor, inventory, and budget determine the design. Each client is an individual and deserves a unique and specialized plan to fit his or her space. I have no preset design that I force into your space.

I have never tired of creating and designing clothing, kitchens, bathrooms, closets, media centers. Every project is new and always evolving. With our custom painting and staining capabilities, I can let my imagination soar on your behalf. It can go from simple to spectacular in line with your budget. You deserve the space of YOUR dreams!

MY ADVICE:

You can save space on shoe shelves by storing one shoe facing forward and the other facing backwards. Also try inverting & stacking sandals you can get You can now store 3 pairs of shoes/sandals on a shelf that would previously hold 2-2 ½ pairs of shoes.

In a custom world, you can create ANYTHING! So let your imagination soar!

Gather photos of things you like they can easily be incorporated into YOUR custom design.

Have lot of scarves? Use a pull-out pants rack to store and display them.

“Susan helped us with our Entertainment center and we were so happy with that we also ordered a Pantry for the kitchen. Susan was very prompt with estimates and gave us very good advice. She modified designs to make each unit perfect for our situation. I am especially happy with the basket in the pantry. I would never have thought of it without her suggestion. She is great!”

MY FAQ’s:

 “How do you first approach a space? In other words, what’s the first thing you think about when you first see a client’s closet space/storage problem?”

When I first approach a space, I consider my clients’ lifestyle and how they function. I’m a bit of a psychologist, asking many questions to get to the real “why” for them calling us, as well as how I can improve the quality of their lifestyle. Clients are often surprised that I can really incorporate so much of their input into the design.

 “What is the biggest design obstacle you’ve overcome? i.e. awkwardly angled walls, electrical sockets in bizarre places, big collections in small spaces.”

Working in oddly angled spaces is sometimes a challenge. Sloping ceilings, angled walls take a lot of ingenuity to figure out where to put everything. But the happiness on my clients’ faces when the closet is installed makes the challenge worthwhile every time!
