| A few sneaky peaks into the upcoming grand reveal |
As dessert forks are rested upon diminished pillows of flakey crumbs, it is unlikely that you will invite your dinner party to admire the confines of your closet. In fact, an emaciated slice of the home-visitor pie-chart will ever glimpse the edges of your clothing closet grounds.

With far more prominent spaces to ornament and arrange some may woefully whine against the effort to assemble a custom closet. Follow me to a change of heart.
First, your wardrobe is, or should be, a carefully curated collection: the perfect ikat pencil skirt that you fished from between velour hot pants and a brocade tapestry jacket at the discount outlet, the immaculate fit jeans you discovered after three hours of slipping your thighs in and out of denim, the quilted handbag you watched until two in the morning when the eBay auction ended with your winning bid. You have sought these pieces out. You waited for them to blossom into sale. You altered them to your exact measurements. The collection of garments cooperates as a team, the sum more than any one part, confiding in one another their flattering secrets. Having a custom closet allows you to create a space specifically tailored to your collection, showcasing each and every masterpiece. Rods set at exactly the right height, shelves of the appropriate depth, and enough storage for every item in your collection.
This is not the realm of storage but display. Your closet is a demi-temple of peace and sanctuary. A space harmonizing yourself and your body. An opportunity to shroud your external self with your internal desires, free from anxiety or conflict.
A personalized boutique where each piece offers a comfortable fit, a blush inducing hue, a style that unifies your internal and external being. Hunting should be done on the sales rack, closets are for efficient decadence. If you cannot fit your fingers between hangers, if you hang wool next to eyelet, if you can identify a range of 6 sizes on a single rod, it is time for a closet makeover.
And just in case your still prioritizing your outdoor dining set, remember that a perfectly poised closet adds value not only to yourself, but also to the future buyer of your castle. After the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and lighting, luxury upgrades like strategic storage make your home ever more alluring to prospective buyers.
I am still striving for this wardrobe that you talk about in this post. Here a little, there a little…. I look forward to the upcoming post!
Your closet looks amazing. I love how organized everything is. My favorite part is seeing the difference between you and Andrew’s color choices. 🙂 I doubt I’ll ever have a big closet- but I would love to have a more organized closet someday!
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Having an organized, functional closet makes dressing choices clearer and easier.
Although my closet size will always be dwarfed by yours, I can definitely make more use of the space by defining spaces with in it. This therefore will maximize my space properly.
Every square inch makes a difference!
