How To Stop Your Dog From Barking (Even If You’ve Tried Everything)

/in

Sidelight Shutters have made Roscoe’s job a little more difficult. His job is to guard the house. He takes his job seriously, especially since his owners are working from home. Roscoe wants them to know he’s on the job. And even when they’re on a conference call, Roscoe feels that his people absolutely should know there’s a squirrel across the street, three doors down.

Roscoe’s people are glad for his vigilance. No doubt he has repelled many would-be thugs and wayward squirrels from the family’s realm. However, it would be nice if Roscoe could be a bit quieter, especially when the baby’s asleep.

Smart Dog, Smarter Humans

Being the wise people that they are, Roscoe’s people contacted Marco Shutters for a solution. Our sidelight shutters were the answer. They can be adjusted with the slightest touch. Keeping the lower half of the shutters closed is simple – our unique louver pins keep the louvers in place without slipping.  There’s no adjustment rod, so there’s also no way for Roscoe to try to adjust the louvers on his own. Smart dog: smarter humans.

Available in painted and stained wood, sidelight shutters – or any of our shutter options – can be matched to your decor. Louvers come in 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, and 4 1/2” widths. Marco also makes shutters for nearly any size or shape window, too.

Roscoe looks a bit indignant in this photo. But, he’ll soon realize that all the real threats are being kept away, just because he’s on the job. Roscoe has mojo. His family is safe.

Marco Makeover: She-Shed Tips from Bob Ross

/in

Some people have used their time at home to explore their creative side. The allure of being a maker, a crafter or a budding Bob Ross has inspired many. One of our customers took this a new level by installing a Custom Craft Room from Marco Closets. With ample storage space for paints, scrapbooking paper and other supplies, this craft area has room to store supplies for every creative whim.

Closed cabinets create an organized look, keeping the appearance of clutter out of site. The flat workspace provides plenty of room to spread out projects in progress, without having to put everything away when creativity takes a coffee break.

With a custom craft room, there’s no more taking over the dining room table with projects in progress. Little hands that want to “help” can be politely shut out of creative spaces. There’s no more over-buying, because in an organized space like this, you’ll be able to see that you already have three bottles of Pleasant Plum acrylic paint.

Create Your Own She-Shed

Craft Room With SuppliesHaving a space like this can be your own equivalent of a She-Shed or Craft Cave, giving you a place to unwind and relax while doing something creative – with the door closed.

The only limit on what you can do with a custom craft room is your imagination. With lots of options for drawers in many sizes, pull out storage and adjustable shelves, it will be easy to make sense of your space.

If your space is limited, but you have a lot to store, consider the 360-Degree Closet Organizer. Designed to be installed in a corner, these units take only 40″ of space on each side of the corner. The rotating organizer functions much like a Lazy Susan.  The photos show two types of storage modules.

The 360-Degree Organizer has lots of storage for small spaces

On the right, the Shoe Spinner has shelves for 200 pairs of shoes, displaying everything neatly. On the left, The Valet has space for hanging clothes and some drawers, and shelves for shoes. Just rotate the unit to get to the clothing or accessories you need for the day.  Imagine what you can store and organize in these units that take only 40 inches each! The height of each unit is 84″ so you will have floor to ceiling storage. Not an inch is wasted. Custom sizes are also available.

Not pictured is the Double Hang, which has two rods for hanging clothes, plus additional shoe shelves. All of these units are super-sturdy and have been tested to hold over 9,000 pounds.
