When we moved into this house our bedroom closet about about the size of a postage stamp. We had to put a clothing rack in the hallway to store all our clothes. So as we renovated we decided to turn this little tiny useless room into a walk-in closet by cutting a doorway through the adjoining wall. I am not sure what you would use such a small room for. I doubt it would have been big enough for a twin size bed even. Funny how when you get a giant closet you still don't have enough space for everything. (That giant birthday gift back on the floor has my new (used sewing machine in it.)
So here it is the messiest space in our house under my control. I say under my control because the back room and sheds under my husband's control are way, way more of a mess. They are so much of a mess that I just avoid them entirely whenever possible. It is a good think that Ian hasn't learned to open doors yet or I would have to try to organize this closet. It is the total space that use to be two closets, one for each bedroom, if that gives you any idea how SMALL those closets were before we renovated. How did the people who lived here before get by? Seriously!
Now that I have shown you my mess I shall go and hang the shame curtains now.
My first thought in seeing that small room was that I would've claimed it in a heartbeat. A small desk and a comfy chair and I would just live in there. But then you showed what you had been dealing with for closet size before and I think you made the right decision. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOur closet situation is pretty lame in our place. The "walk-in" for the master bedroom is actually in the too-small bathroom. I'd love to knock out that closet to redo the bathroom but then there's nowhere else to put a closet.
And my guestroom closet? Totally shameful.
Your house used to be a cottage, and likely used for vacations. That would explain the small bedrooms and small closets. Your very large living area and kitchen make up for it. I enjoyed seeing how organized and neat you are. sjc
ReplyDeleteSo true that even with a giant closet there is never enough space. I'm convinced stuff must multiply to fill every space to overflowing.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters share a room and have one little closet for both of them. There was never enough room until I moved the bar up and installed another one underneath it. It's not ideal, but it did double the space.
