??Congrats ?? to Mike Carson & The entire Inspired Chicago Team! ??Mike Carson is the regional manager for Inspired Closets. CHICAGO - Inspired Closets Chicago unveiled its new showroom in The Mart, one of Chicago’s iconic landmarks, during a grand opening celebration on August 19. Located in the heart of downtown and on the Chicago River, The Mart has a storied history as a hub for design and commerce. Formerly known as the Merchandise Mart, it spans over 4 million square feet and has been an instrumental part of the city's business landscape for decades. The addition of Inspired Closets' showroom adds a fresh layer of design inspiration and home organization solutions to The Mart's already impressive lineup. ?Inspired Closets, a brand of The Stow Company, was officially launched in 2017, with industry veteran Mike Carson opening the inaugural showroom in Oak Brook, Illinois. The new location in The Mart marks the company’s second showroom and Carson’s return to the design center (his previous company had a showroom there). It also allows customers to experience firsthand the seamless fusion of functionality and aesthetics for which the company is known. ?Located in the Design Resource Center of The Mart, Inspired Closets Chicago shares showroom space with several other companies, including New Style Cabinets, Katonah Architectural Hardware, Sherwin-Williams Color Studio, True Residential, Vadara + UGM Surfaces, Vicostone and The Gallery. ??See the full article @Woodworkingnetwork.com https://loom.ly/o6YETSU #woodworkingnetwork #closetsorganizedstorage #acsppro #storagedesign #customstorage #closet #pantry #garage #mudroom #closetandstorageprofessionals #inspiredchicago #acsp

Did you know? ?? Composite wood panels—such as medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, hardboard, and engineered wood siding and trim—are key materials in sustainable design? Not only are they decorative, durable, versatile and renewable, but they keep carbon sequestered and out of our atmosphere long-term. The North American composite panel industry is proud to be a part of a sustainable solution that produces "Panels for the Planet.” ?? Learn more on this topic by the Composite Panel Association in the 2024 edition of “Design Portfolio,” produced by the Woodworking Network. ?? https://loom.ly/qilqwjw #woodworkingnetwork #closetsorganizedstorage #designportfolio #sustainabledesign
