Kitchens, bathrooms and
closets seem to have one frustrating thing
in common in most homes: clutter. Junk
drawers, cabinets full of mismatched pots,
pans and lids in disarray, inaccessible
kitchen items, a pile of sheets and towels
that got crammed onto a shelf that could barely contain
them and clothes stored in an inappropriate manner.
That’s where In & Outdoor Cabinetry can help.
Shoshanna Szuch designs space for indoor and outdoor
kitchens, bathrooms and closets.
She is also a designer for Shelf-
Genie, a system that retrofits existing cabinets and storage
areas, with functionality and
accessibility in mind.
“I come to your home and
interview you to learn and
help you solve your challenges,
wishes, objectives and prefer-
ences in these very special
spaces of your home. Then
we work together, based on
your needs and budget, to
determine your best options. I
believe that annoyances must
be reduced for better overall
health,” Szuch said.
Szuch began her career in
the roaring ’80s as a bilingual
food and beverage manager. After a successful corporate
career, she chose the entrepreneurial route. Over 20
years, she developed herself as a full-service marketer
and salesperson on the forefront of website development
and search engine optimization. In 2013, she began
looking for something different and was introduced to
cabinetry design. With her creativity, organizational
skills and ability to work with people, she has thrived in
this business.
“I enjoy discussing possibilities; there’s never a rush,”
she said. “I’m an educator. I want my clients to make deci-
sions that are good for them. I love helping my clients add

more pleasure at home. I am frequently appreciated for my
attentiveness and value.”
Since opening In & Outdoor Cabinetry in 2013,
Szuch has transformed more than 150 spaces. She works
with home plans to design from scratch and with existing
homes as well.
“I’ve found that each client’s needs and requirements
are different, based on their lifestyle and how they use
their spaces,” she pointed out. “I’ve learned to be a very
good listener and create solutions that fit their lifestyle
and space needs.”
A new or updated set of cabinets will not make life
easier if they are not specifically selected for the function
they will serve. Szuch spends
time brainstorming with her
clients to address these needs
ahead of time.
“One of the things I do is
enumerate where every item
goes, and I put it on the plan,”
Szuch explained. “I label every
area as to what will be placed
there, so when the project is
complete, not only do my cli-
ents know exactly where they’re
putting their items, but those
spaces are properly designed for
those items.”
Szuch offers free, on-site
3-D designs and estimates for ShelfGenie retrofits. For larger
projects, she provides complimentary designs and estimates
or charges a fee – depending on requirements – that will be
credited toward a purchase if the client buys from her.
“I always put my clients’ needs first,” she said. “They
can contact me anytime. More than anything, I want to
help them with exceptional service and value and become
a resource for them.”
In & Outdoor Cabinetry will soon be opening a showroom at
Universal Marble & Granite in North Charleston. For more
