Store with Style can help you pull it all together
By Patricia Nugent
With everyone spending more time at home, it’s become much more than just a “house.”
It serves as school classroom, entertainment central, spa sanctuary and fitness center, just to name a few.
The concept of form-meets-function has never been more important.
For sophisticated design, outside-of-the-box storage solutions and professional craftsmanship, look to Store with Style in Mentor to bring your living spaces to their most functional selves.
“What makes us unique is finding out what our clients need and crafting custom storage solutions around that,” says Kathy Wallace, who, along with her husband, Tony, founded the business in 2008. “We help maximize every inch of people’s living space.”
Over the years, Store with Style has grown from closet and garage organizational overhauls to renovating kitchens and bathrooms. You can peruse the high-end materials in their showroom (Cambria quartz countertops and American-made Wellborn cabinets), with full-sized room vignettes featuring hundreds of samples of cabinets and countertops, along with flooring, paint and tile samples.
World-class craftsmanship is just as integral to the business as selection.
“Since our sons are master carpenters, who handle all the builds and installation, we are a true family-run enterprise,” she says.
Adios, Junk Drawer
Anyone who grew up hearing their mom quote Benjamin Franklin, “A place for everything, everything in its place,” knows how hard it can be to actually create a place for everything. Who has the time?
Kathy and Tony are expert organizers, tackling even the most challenging closets, mud rooms, home offices, pantries, laundry rooms and garages. They only work with the best maker of storage solutions in the industry—Redline Closet Systems—which offers bins, drawers, wire baskets, racks, rods, jewelry drawers, clothes hampers and an extensive variety of pullout systems.
“We’ll meet with clients in their home and ask lots of questions, listening intently to the answers,” she says. “We want to find ways to make their lives easier. Every client is different, and we come up with a one-of-a-kind plan to provide the maximum storage for their dollar. We find their everyday organizational pain and devise a solution to take it away.”
After they create a custom 3D-driven CAD drawing based on their clients’ specifications and lifestyle, they invite them to the showroom to get their input before moving to the final build stage.
“We believe in the importance of a well-organized home and the time-saving and stress-relieving effect it can have on its owner,” she adds.
Passion for Perfection
The Wallace’s passion for perfection has led to a slew of five-star reviews. Pam A. has this to say about her recent kitchen remodel: “From the moment my husband and I met Kathy Wallace we knew we were going to trust her. From kitchen planning, demolition, electrical, plumbing, cabinet installation and painting, this team is phenomenal and so professional. We are so delighted with our new kitchen. Great job!”
And Sharon J. reports her master dressing room project was amazing. “The entire project was handled with professionalism with a warm, family feel. There was always an eager attitude to get it done and make sure I was happy along the way.”
