Spring has made a permanent visit across NOLA and Southern Louisiana, and summer can’t be far away. And with the beautiful warm weather, there are upcoming summer get-togethers, outdoor grilling, and parties with family and friends. Whether grilling outdoors or cooking inside, having a well-organized pantry makes cooking and socializing much more enjoyable and efficient.

The kitchen is “fun central” for entertaining; yet our traditional pantries are often disorganized with an array of old and outdated items filling much of the shelves. Most homeowners look inside the door, move things around, and try to find the items needed for a spring and summer meal or get together. Many times, what is needed is no longer there, and when found, it is beyond the use date. We all might even take pantry contents over to the kitchen table or counter as we look for what we thought we needed, placing everything all back again. New ways to organize are critical. It is spring! It is time to reclaim the pantry!

Louisiana Custom Closets wants to help Louisiana homeowners create that dream garage this spring. Now is the time to plan that “garage mahal”; working around the house and in the garage is a rite of passage for many DIY’s and car buffs and fun in in the air throughout NOLA and the entire region at large. Spring also means a wide variety of outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, biking, camping and yard work. All of these activities take a lot of equipment and gear, and everything can take up a lot of room in the garage and in the home itself.

Considering most homes in our part of the country are without basements, many times the garage ends up as the catch-all for everything that is not needed on a regular basis. In no time, everything is leaning against the garage wall and shoved in any vacant spot possible. Sooner or later, the cars end up having to be parked outside in the driveway or on the street because the garage has become a storage unit.

Typically, garages can be a constant source of annoyance; always trying to organize, clean and rearrange everything just to make it look nice and neat. Thankfully, it is not that hard to have an organized dream garage that is efficient, organized and affordable. It just takes the expert design team from Louisiana Custom Closets.

Owning a Louisiana cottage-style home offers a lot of great advantages. It provides lower mortgage payments and in many cases less heating and cooling costs.
