Daring Silhouette

When it comes to outdoor décor, not all umbrellas are created equal. Just take a peek at the iconic Manta Parasol from Tuuci.

With its modern, arching form, the Manta evokes the spirit of the graceful movement of an undersea swimmer, or a bird about to take flight. But don’t let the light-and-airy silhouette fool you: Like all Tuuci umbrellas, the Manta is seriously sturdy, with open ocean-tested marine components, a V-Max reinforced strut design and Tucci’s ultra-weatherproof “tuff skin” fabrics; $1,525, Tuuci.com.

Relaxation Secret
Maintaining an organized home is the key to living stress-free. Ensuring that everything you own has a designated place makes cleanup a breeze and eliminates those frantic, last-minute search parties when you’re already running late. Whether it’s your pantry, bathroom, living room, office or bedroom, creating sufficient and efficient storage is an essential aspect of caring for your stuff and your sanity. California Closets provides custom solutions for everyone’s space and individual needs. Having a beautifully organized closet is the best way to make getting ready for the day a snap. With products like sectioned drawer inserts, belt/tie/scarf racks, valet rods, pull-out racks for pants, adjustable or angled shoe shelves and tilt-out hampers, everything you own will be on display, easy to find and protected from the potential damage of being improperly stored. California Closets designers know how to make the most of any space, and they never compromise on aesthetics when maximizing the efficiency of a space. A room, or an entire home, can slide into chaos while we’re too busy living life to notice the nearly imperceptible increases in organization. Fortunately, California Closets can help you reclaim your space from chaos and help you take the steps toward maintaining an organized and beautiful home.
