November 2023 Classy News

Designer Spotlight:

This month we are spotlighting our amazing designer, Lesley Vertrees . She officially joined the Classy Closets team in January 2022. Lesley has always had a knack for organization. In 2019, Lesley started her own business renovating and installing closets from start to finish, all on her own. When she met another Classy Closets designer, she knew she had to apply. Lesley loves having full creative control when working for Classy Closets and the endless design capabilities we have.?

Lesley says the most fulfilling part of her job is “Hearing the excitement and joy in my clients' voice once they have seen the finished product and their closet is fully installed. Those moments affirm that I’ve been able to hear my client’s vision and make it come to life!”?

Some of her favorite projects include an exposed pantry inspired by A House We Built, a black modern home office, countless closets, and laundry rooms.?

Lesley’s favorite part of working with Classy Closets is knowing that she can confidently operate her role and is supported by our leadership. “It is a blessing to have the opportunity to be endlessly creative in a field that I am very passionate about. Last but not least, and the cherry on top, is all of my coworkers. I am so grateful to be working with such an amazing team.”

Fantastic, professional, quality product and installation. But the best part of the whole experience was Mason Reis and Michael Boren . Fantastic business owners who are not afraid to get in there and do the work. The focus on detail in their installation was only suppressed by their genuine desire to be helpful! ?????? - Mary Baker - St. George

Classy Closets Phoenix has partnered with the Fresh Start Women's Foundation for the third consecutive year to be the “Key to the Closet'' sponsor for their Wine, Women & Shoes charity event! Each year, a talented designer at Classy Closets curates a closet display, and one lucky guest at the event wins the closet! This year, Lesley Vertrees designed the closet that was on display at the event. The prize was further enhanced by Scottsdale Fashion Square and Biltmore Fashion Park, who filled the closet with an assortment of luxury goodies. The Wine, Women, and Shoes charity event helps raise money for Fresh Start, an organization helping women improve their lives by equipping them with career and education skills and tools. They also provide support services like social work, family law, and mentoring opportunities. Classy Closets is proud to be a sponsor of this amazing organization that helps the women in our community!

Las Vegas Collaboration:??

Classy Closets' Las Vegas has collaborated with influencer Vanessa Hartmann to complete her walk-in closet and daughter's closet.? Classy Closets designer, Janette Miller, designed both of her closet spaces. Vanessa's closet, once a standard design with limited adjustability, underwent a remarkable makeover that turned her basic walk-in closet into a functional storage solution.??????????????????????????

Vanessa's vision for her walk-in closet was clear: she wanted a space that exuded elegance and sophistication. The walk-in closet makeover began with white melamine and gold hardware. This combination created a timeless ambiance that perfectly complemented Vanessa's style.?

Innovative storage solutions were key to making Vanessa’s walk-in closet both functional and fabulous. The walk-in closet was equipped with a full-length mirror door cabinet, which served a dual purpose – enhancing the space visually and providing additional storage. A double bag tilt-out hamper ensured that even the laundry area was stylish and well-organized. To add a touch of luxury, the closet featured soft close drawers, including gray velvet jewelry drawer inserts.?

One of Vanessa's top priorities was to showcase her extensive shoe and handbag collection. To accomplish this, a shoe display cabinet with clear glass insets and strip lighting was installed. This not only protected her shoes from dust but also added a touch of drama to the space. Clear glass inset doors with glass shelves and puck lighting were used to display her exquisite handbags, turning them into works of art.
