Jordon & Allison
Jordon is the owner and founder of Holmes Cabinet Specialties and has been in the construction field most of his life He has been specializing in cabinets for the last five years
Jordon: We have seen an increase in custom closet requests lately. I just wanted to address some FAQ's!
Q: What material can you use for a closet?
Jordon: Most recently, we have worked with either cabinet grade plywood or High Pressure Laminate (HPL), depending on the customer's preference
Q: What is the difference in cabinets and a closet build out?
Jordon: Honestly, not much We do not typically use as many doors in a closet build out. Sometimes, we do not use backing on some parts of the closet, allowing for a more economical approach to a custom closet
Q: How much space do I need?
Jordon: We can customize a reach in closet, but here are some measurements to keep in mind:
Depth for hanging: 21" - 24" Short hanging length: 42" Long hanging length: 70"
Q: What are some cool add-ons and features you've seen?
Jordon: I like pull down rods for the top of the closet It allows you to use space that would otherwise be hard to reach.
Other Considerations: Corners can be a challenge
They are typically hard to reach if cabinetry goes all the way into the corner.
It will consume space for cabinets to "turn the corner".
If you're considering a custom closet or have any questions, give us a call! We would love to discuss your options with you!
If you have a custom cabinet job in the works and you would like an estimate, give us a call at 409-543-2706.

MENTAL HEALTH MOMENT-TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
New Beginnings Counseling Team is a team of therapists serving our local communities out of their offices in Port Neches, Beaumont & Katy They see clients of all ages and use a variety of treatment modalities to help clients reach their goals! We, at HCS, understand the importance of taking care of your mental health and hope to diminish the stigma around seeking therapy
NBCT: So let’s talk about toxic relationships, specifically those with family members.
"Toxic" seems to be one of those words that gets thrown around a lot lately So what exactly is a toxic relationship?
Some indications a relationship is toxic could be that you leave family gatherings feeling hurt, angry, or exhausted
Maybe, you feel consistently disrespected or feel a toll on your selfesteem over time. In some cases, you feel like you are not your best self when you are around these people, or maybe you feel as though you have to walk on eggshells.
How do we handle these relationships?
You have no control over someone else's behavior, but you can work on your own reaction to it
Setting healthy boundaries and using assertive communication will be key in these relationships
When going no-contact isn't an option that you're willing or able to choose, we must set emotional boundaries. Limit the time you are around them, if possible.
If you find yourself in conversation, work to not be emotionally hurt by their actions or words. It is not an easy task, but will get easier with practice Understand that they will say what they will, but work to not take it personally and refuse to engage in their toxicity, arguments, or drama. Focus your attention on healthy, loving family members
Sometimes it is hard to talk to family about family and this is where a good therapist can help. If you feel as though you need an unbiased third party to help you work through some difficult relationships, give us a call! We are here to help you!
