St. Louis Closets for MOM!

Posted on May 3, 2016 by Jennifer Williams

THE ULTIMATE CLOSET—FOR MOM

Having a disorganized closet can add hours to your week and stress to an already stressful life. According to Newsweek magazine, the average American spends 55 minutes a day looking for things they know the own but cannot find.

A Saint Louis Closet Co. “well-appointed closet will help shed the emotional weight that having a disorganized environment brings.” Treat your closet as you would any other room in your home—function, aesthetics and comfort.

Before investing in a custom closet system empty your closet and go through your clothes item by item removing clothing you no longer wear or doesn’t fit. Remove clothing that needs alterations, dry cleaning or repairs.

Clean your entire closet—consider painting walls a bright fresh color. Analyze the lighting in your closet—bad lighting makes it hard to see behind doors and distinguish between blacks and navy’s.

Strive to provide visual access to all areas of your closet and your clothing—sometimes open shelves are the best way to go. Drawers are perfect for under garments, stockings, pj’s, and socks.

Once you have a plan—consult with a Saint Louis Closet Co. professional closet designer and get started.

Make sure your new system incorporates double rods for separates, and varying height rods for dresses and medium lengths skirts and slacks. Adjustability is always the key. Styles change, your own personal lifestyles changes and you want to make sure you closet can change with you. Adjustable shelving and rods that can be moved from the floor up are vital to really make the best use of your space.

Saint Louis Closet Co. accessories are like the icing on the cake—adding function and fun to your closet. Make sure to add a pull-out belt rack for belts and purses and a telescoping rod for your dry cleaning and outfit selection.

Saint Louis Closet Co. offers free in-home design consultations for all areas of your home. Call them at (314) 781-9000 or visit them online at www.stlouisclosetco.com.

This year give Mom what she really wants….a customized closet from Saint Louis Closet Co.  Organized closets will make every home and every Mom super happy!!  We also offer gift certificates in any dollar amount, so call today 314-781-9000 to make Mom’s day!!

Celebrating 25 Organized Years

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Jennifer Williams

Anyone would agree that good organizational skills are a fundamental qualification for starting your own business. And in 1991, Jennifer Quinn Williams did just that, opening the doors of Saint Louis Closet Co., the first locally – owned St. Louis closet company that installed custom organizing systems crafted to stand alone (floor-based) and fit the exact dimensions of a customer’s closet.

Saint Louis Closet Co. has grown from modest means. In her first semester of graduate school, while working part–time, Jennifer decided to do what she loved – organize and change people’s lives. Then, in October of 1991, she approached the Small Business Administration (SBA) to learn how to go about starting her own business.

RibbonCutting

That November, she decided to try her luck at a start–up loan. Jennifer’s tenacity paid off and she received a call from the loan officer that the SBA and the Bank had approved a loan for $35,000.

What about the additional $15,000 she needed? Jennifer just forged ahead; trusting that early sales of her new closet systems would bring in the balance of money necessary to stay in operation. They did. So, at the ripe old age of 25, Jennifer had not only graduated from Saint Louis University and begun graduate school, but she also had begun to set up and operate her own business. That rst year would realize $236,000 in sales, an amount that has been exceeded by over 2500% in 22 years.

Jennifer’s roots are tied to St. Louis having grown up in Kirkwood and graduating from Kirkwood High School in 1984. This hometown entrepreneur then went on to St. Louis University to earn a B.A. in Communications and Public Relations. “I really enjoy owning and operating my Business in St. Louis,” says Jennifer. “There’s a great feeling in knowing that you’re helping your community and providing your neighbors with a superior product at the same time.” “St. Louisans love to buy from locally-owned companies, not franchises.”

Jennifer’s hometown connection makes a difference, especially when it comes to the company’s charitable and civic endeavors. Jennifer’s list of involvements is already an impressive one. She’s donated to her local alma mater KHS, and Saint Louis Closet Co. has installed closets at The Magic House, Glendale Lutheran, St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Forsyth School, John Burroughs School, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Our Little Haven and Friends of Wings.

40 under 40

Jennifer is involved with and has supported Children’s Hospital, Fontbonne University, St. Louis University, Forsyth School, John Burroughs School, The Maplewood Betterment Foundation, The Kirkwood Public Library, Juvenile Diabetes, Aim High, Girls on the Run, Our Little Haven, Ready Readers, The Susan G. Koman Foundation and the The Leukemia Foundation to name a few.

When Jennifer started Saint Louis Closet Co. she knew the importance of surrounding herself with quality people. “Our company’s biggest strength,” notes Jennifer, “is that of customer service. All 40 of our employees strive for excellent customer service. They continually try to exceed our customer’s expectations.”

Jennifer is proud of the product Saint Louis Closet Co. offers. “We have a unique system,” comments Jennifer. “Where many other closet companies hang closet organizers on existing walls – a practice that is not as secure or as adjustable as our product, we provide a safe, floor–based closet system built of our laminated shelving that is totally adjustable from the floor to the ceiling,” says Jennifer. “You have the ability to adjust, add or subtract from your closet system at any time.” By offering a variety of laminate colors, Saint Louis Closet Co. is not just limited to the closet. Murphy Beds, Laundry Rooms, Playrooms, Lockers, Craft Centers, Garages, Pantries and Home Offices are all products offered by the company.

“Almost all closet installations take less than one day, and since we manufacture our own systems in our custom closet factory,” says Jennifer, “we can turn orders around quickly. This gives us an edge over our competition.” There are no pre-made parts or sizes, so Saint Louis Closet Co. closets are TRULY custom and cut to size for your closet.

All the closet systems are designed, manufactured, and sold out of her 30,000 square foot headquarters in Maplewood with its state– of–the–art machinery, which allows the company to make its own product 100% custom.

Wrap and Craft in Style!

Posted on December 15, 2015 by Jennifer Williams

Tired of knotted up ribbons, crunched bows, and ripped wrapping paper?
Has the scrapbooking craze got you tied in knots?

The solution is here — Saint Louis Closet Co. organized and custom-made wrapping paper centers with trays and slanted shelves for rolls of paper and baskets for ribbons; scrapbooking workrooms with drawers, shelves and surfaces big enough to cut and paste, file drawers and baskets to organize even the messiest of craft items all in custom designed storage systems that are built for your needs.

Every family wraps presents…from kid’s birthday party gifts to those thousands of holiday gifts each year, the need for storage space designed specifically for wrapping paper rolls, bows, spools of ribbons and even scissors and tape has become an issue for most homes.

7a03eb46-0f99-4313-9b75-949cc0f85d30.png

Traditionally, extra supplies were either pitched due to the inability to store them or they were shoved in a closet somewhere, only later to be determined too squished and torn to use. A specifically designed area to store these type of items is the solution and can make these activities fun.

Similar to the crafting and wrapping needs, scrapbooking storage needs have become the desire for families who wish to save their photos and memories in creative ways using photos, die-cut shapes, stickers, clip art, cloth swatches, doilies, buttons and other creative embellishments. This renewed hobby has sparked an entire industry of supplies — hence the immediate need for storage solutions.

Once you realized there’s a place for everything in your home…then everything will find its place in your Saint Louis Closet Co. wrapping paper center, your craft center and your scrapbooking workroom!

Saint Louis Closet Co. offers free in-home design consultations for all areas of your home, including giftwrap centers, scrapbooking and craft workrooms. Call us at (314) 781-9000 or visit us online at www.stlouisclosetco.com.

Saint Louis Closet Co. Gives Back!

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Jennifer Williams

Webster – Kirkwood Times recognized Saint Louis Closet Co. in this week’s paper.

Kirkwood High School alum, Jennifer Quinn Williams, and her company, Saint Louis Closet Co., donated a new and organized Pioneer Pride School Store. The new store is located across the hall from the library and houses spirit wear, school supplies and miscellaneous Kirkwood High School gear. By having the larger and more organized space the school is able to carry more options for apparel.

d4af64dc-2b68-4319-85e3-6fcc805245ff

Williams graduated from Kirkwood High in 1984 and was inducted into the school’s inaugural Hall of Fame in 2010. In 1997 Williams donated $10,000 to the Kirkwood High School journalism program and over $200,000 in custom shelving.

KHS School Spirit store was completed over the summer and was up and running by the first day of school. An additional island was added in September to aid with storage and a display.  Click here to read full article  Webster-Kirkwood Times Article
