We put an addition on the house in 2007 that included a master suite and.......3 closets! 3! Now, keep in mind that this is so remarkable, because our house, built in the 1820's, expanded in the 1850's predates the notion of a closet. When Cowfeathers was built here in the windswept valley, your closet was mobile- a wardrobe. And, likely, early on there was probably no wardrobes here, just some pegs.
The current Mistress of Cowfeathers cannot seem to limit herself to a work outfit, a Sunday outfit and a sleeping gown. Pegs aren't going to cut it.
I am, although a country girl, also a bit of a clotheshorse. And my Huz doesn't get rid of anything. So, the need for closet space is great. Unfortunately, I had not gotten around to really utilizing the space that we had wisely created for closets, and they were a mess. A great source of angst for me. So, mundane as it is, closet reorganization became the project for November. And I am so thrilled to have our clothes organized and my stuff visible. Yippee!

| The walk-in closet in my tubroom. Scarves hang on the wall behind the door, shoes on the wall opposite the shelves, and an adorable window in the closet for natural light. Huz also has space in this closet. (Please, Please, keep it neat!) |

| The closet outside the bedroom. This is where all my things were previous to the reorg. Now, Huz' sweatshirt collection is housed here so I had some room in the tubroom closet for tops and pants. It is nice not to have to leave the warm sanctuary of my tubroom to hunt down the base layer. (dressing in Ohio from September through June is like constructing the perfect ski conditions. You start with a base, then multiple layers until you put the final layer on top.) |
