I think everyone thought I was completely NUTS with the idea...we even added on 2 ft. after the plans got on the building inspectors desk. I just had to trust my gut on this one &amp; not listen to everyone telling me what we should or shouldn't do. The other thing we haven't done yet is I want to do a 3-way mirror. I think we will build one though from 3 very large full length mirrors &amp; put on hinges so it can be moveable. Not sure where it will go yet. We can change some things around. The other item that I got at Christmas time is a portable clothes rack. That comes in handy for pulling selections for vacations &amp; such. Then, it can be folded down &amp; slid under clothing rods when not needed. It was another Craig's List purchase. Didn't save a lot on that one though as I see them at Target &amp; Wal-Mart for pretty close to the price. It's highly functioning overall. I also LOVE to see others pictures of things - outfits, organization, jewelry, you name it as it helps to inspire me. This forum has done just that, so maybe just maybe these pics can help someone else get some ideas?! So, I just wanted to share. Thank you everyone for all of the nice comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality#post-157897 Tue, 18 May 2010 02:06:24 +0000 Lisa 157897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me that's your closet? *thunk* sorry I think I just fainted.

No wonder you'd want it as a study/workroom too!!

I keep telling dd that once she leaves, she is not coming back because her bedroom is becoming my walk in closet (her bedroom backs up to ours). Um... she's 11 so I have a while to wait LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality#post-157532 Mon, 17 May 2010 02:44:25 +0000 JewelryGirl 157532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL - I hear you Taylor!

B E A U T I F U L!!!</p> <p>I can honestly say I fell in love with my husband all over when he did my closet too!! ENJOY your new space!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality#post-157492 Mon, 17 May 2010 01:53:30 +0000 JewelryGirl 157492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's getting close but not quite done. I thought I'd share what we have for now as it's functioning anyway! </p> <p><a href="http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/sharing/shareRedirectSwitchBoard.jsp?token=730789526803%3A1302807849&#038;sourceId=533754321803&#038;cm_mmc=eMail-_-Share-_-Photos-_-Sharee" rel="nofollow">http://www.kodakgallery.com/ga.....s-_-Sharee</a></p> <p>The black piece you see in the middle here on the left is actually the right side of a theater piece from a 3 pc. set that we picked up at a furniture store. My sweet sweet husband then bought rods on-line. Oh, the hangers he found on Craig's List also for a song ($.10/ea to be exact). We stumbled on them while doing something else &amp; couldn't resist for the price. Oh, there's a pullout valet rod on the side of it also - not sure if you can see it but it's the silver ball. </p> <p>Notice the scrabble letters on the shelf - that one's for you Angie! :)</p> <p>Then, my favorite - the accessory wall! The peg shelf was filled with scarves originally then I decided to try them on the old ladder. Kind of fun! The dress form - that was my Christmas gift last year from DH. THe little shelf on the floor is for me to just have the shoes I wear everyday - whatever the season right there. The black hutch is filled with old vintage jewelry boxes I've thrifted over time as well as the jewelry within. Memories of things from my mom that I miss so much &amp; DH's gma that I loved so dearly as well. The top of that hutch is again thrifted finds. Love the little dress form on top $2.88 @ Goodwill, LOL! Can't tell much from the pics but it's a leopard ribbon on the wreath. Another rod we attached to the hutch for coats, dresses, pants, and more scarves. </p> <p>The back wall with the window contains my favorite spot - the desk! That's what transformed it from Closet to Studio. I got the idea from a comment Maegan (<a href="http://www.lovemaegan.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lovemaegan.com/</a>) made on her site one day about working on one and having her desk in her office. (I haven't seen pics of hers yet.) Ohhh that was the answer for another problem I had at home though.... Yes, this "studio" is multi-functional. You see, in the bottom of that black hutch is contained all of my scrapbooking supplies as well. The window's natural lighting was a requirement. Ohhh the fun little birds on the shelf...The little wooden thing on the wall next to the desk is what I keep my belts in. I'm hunting for a very small short dresser to sit on one side of the desk to store some intimates in as well. </p> <p>The next wall is shoes, not sure if I'm going to keep them in boxes or what yet. Then, we did a built in ironing board. Not sure what we're doing with the cutout space below it yet but I wanted to save every ounce of space. Might do a fun basket there. Right now, it holds a mess of extra scrapbooking supplies. Then, the safe. We utilized space above that also. </p> <p>Oh the lights, we got those at Habitat for Humanity Restore - $10/each. The paint is 3 colors mixed - just using what we could. </p> <p>That's about it. We still have to do window &amp; door trim. Then, I have to get the chair I'm really going to use at the desk &amp; probably some fun leopard rug for the middle. Lastly, we'll probably add shelves under the top rack of clothes on the first wall &amp; move DH's down to the bottom. Then, the only other change I might make is to "Capsulize" it --- meaning Capsule sections (workout, winter, formal, etc.). Everything is movable so I would just have to sweet talk DH some day. That will be awhile though --- I think he's worn out right now. Bless his heart! I love him to death - he got major brownie points on this one!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality#post-157164 Sun, 16 May 2010 01:27:53 +0000 AJ 157164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how exciting!! I once saw a pic of a master bedroom where the washer and dryer were right there in the HUGE closet as well. I don't know if all that heat and humidity from the machines is a good thing for a closet, but how cool to just be able to pop your dirty clothes in right away!</p> <p>I also can't wait to see your results. HURRY! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality#post-157159 Sun, 16 May 2010 01:19:16 +0000 yublocka 157159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I can't wait tos ee pics *drooling already* !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-dream-to-studio-reality#post-156901 Sat, 15 May 2010 01:54:36 +0000 April 156901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee, JG -- I just realized that your new "closet" is bigger than my bedroom!</p> <p>Here is the recent thread on closets: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-closet-thread-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....t-thread-1</a> Please do add to it (or start a new one) when your project is complete.
