2025 Wood Diamond Award Utility/Storage: Closet/Dressing Room Gillpatrick Woodworks First Place

Gillpatrick Woodworks is ROOTED in the belief that woodworking can inspire emotion in the process of creation, and in the end product. We believe that happens with exceptional design, craftsmanship, and technology. Through that, we will strive to continue to build a company known for excellence in woodworking of all types, ability to solve problems, and done with integrity.

Describe your project, what makes it unusual, and/or any outstanding characteristics.

For this project, the client wanted a primary closet that would function as both a highly organized dressing room and a space to display personal items with intention and style. We started with floor-to-ceiling inset beaded cabinetry then added applied molding doors and panels to establish a refined, custom-built look. Tall open shelving was incorporated to allow for generous shoe storage and a dedicated handbag showcase—complete with glass panel doors and integrated lighting—adds elegance and functions as a visual display. To carry the look and feel throughout the space, we added tall, mirrored doors at the entry to the dressing area, enhancing the sense of scale and light while reinforcing the overall design.
