Thinking outside the bin. Think Atlas Homewares or Nanz.

Lately it seems like just about every kitchen I see showcased in a shelter magazine features the same kind of hardware: the bin pull. There’s no doubt it’s a great style: it’s clean-lined, unfussy, with the retro/industrial vibe that’s been so popular in kitchen design for the last several years. But it’s also everywhere. Why not try something a little unexpected?


The 8750 pull from Nanz is a knockout: its sleek, round-cornered silhouette recalls the heyday of American Deco and the Machine Age, but it’s not obviously vintage-inspired, and can blend easily with any number of design styles.

For a rich take on a simple bar pull style, I love the leather-wrapped Zanzibar pull from Atlas Homewares. It’s slick, but the leather dresses it up and adds an element of textural richness that’s quite surprising and pleasant, and allows it to blend well with more traditional or handmade elements.

Or, if you’re really into the vintage thing, why not try something like the Duluth pull from Restoration Hardware? It looks like it belongs on the weathered oak desk drawers of a turn-of-the-century law clerk.

But whatever your taste, don’t be afraid to look for something beyond the usual! It will help your space feel more custom, more unique, and more you.

Luxury Closets

Luxury closets have come a long way in the past ten years. Clos-ette has dubbed the closet, "the last frontier of the home." Like their counterparts, bathrooms and kitchens, more and more people want closets designed with personality, innovation and maximal use of the space.

At Clos-ette, we focus on the architecture of the space and the details of the cabinetry or millwork design, and pay special attention to our clients' inventory in order to marry the two halves of any closet: the structure and the clothes. We pride ourselves on our in-depth knowledge of all the finest gadgets and gizmos one could possibly imagine to functionally and aesthetically enhance a closet. There's no doubt, a beautiful, organized, custom-designed closet is a luxury indeed!

Clos-ette called "the only choice in closets" in The Franklin Report

The Franklin Report, the premiere guide to home services, has long awarded high marks to Clos-ette, calling the firm's results "extraordinary" and reporting that its clients consider it "the only choice in closets." Currently, the editorial staff is hard at work on a new guide for the Palm Beach/Miami area, forthcoming early Fall 2008. It's sure to be, as Kate and Andy Spade put-it, a "must-have accessory" for Southeast Florida dwellers.
We anxiously await the next book!

Not quite nickel, and not quite gunmetal...Try Baldwin's antique nickel!

When you're looking to spice it up a bit in the hardware finish department, but find that a black iron or oil-rubbed finish is too severe, try something like Baldwin's antique nickel. It's rich, unexpected, and can blend beautifully with either contemporary or more traditional designs. Actually, not unlike the pictured knob itself: it's Baldwin's classic knob on 3" squared rose. Sharp and geometric, yet classic.
