Q. I’m determined to organize my master bedroom walk-in closet by spring. How can I make the best use of my time to ensure I reach my goal?
A. You’re off to a great start by giving yourself plenty of time to plan. We recommend creating an organized plan before taking any action. As a first step, it’s important to examine all of the items currently in your master closet and pare down to those you are certain to use. Immediately remove for donating or tossing the items you have not been using or no longer enjoy using. This is the time to also remove items that may still be useful, but do not belong in your closet. If you plan to work with a specialized company like California Closets to customize your closet, meeting with our design consultant following your purging will be your next step. Keeping in mind that style and function go hand in hand, our designer will partner with you to design the shelving and compartments that work best with the way you will use your closet.

Q. Why should I switch my home’s heat and/or appliances to natural gas?
A. Natural gas is the cleanest, most convenient, price stable, and versatile home energy fuel. Unlike oil, it can heat a home and power a range of appliances, providing homeowners greater comfort and ease. Natural gas fireplaces roar to life with the flip of a switch, often with adjustable temperature and flame. Natural gas clothes dryers and water heaters work quicker than their electric counterparts. Cooking with natural gas provides optimum and instant temperature control.

Q. What is trending in bathroom showers?
A. We’re seeing a lot of showers today, whether renovation or new construction, that are customized and affordable. A new SmartControl from Grohe has no electronics, yet it is a highly flexible shower control. While still using a standard shower, you can create a custom spa-like experience with multiple rain heads and body sprays. The SmartControl lets you set the temperature and control each feature with the push of a button. No more guessing temperature or handle location — you can have full, luxurious control of your shower, while saving precious time in the morning. Taking a custom shower to the next level, you can also integrate nature’s ancient therapy by adding steam. Turn it on with the digital control panel, remote, timer, or app. With precise temperature control and the freedom to choose a relaxing or invigorating experience, paired with all the health benefits of steam, you’ll never want to leave the shower.
