But if I did I would love something like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708937 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 23:45:33 +0000 JAileen 1708937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was fading, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708915 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 23:25:28 +0000 Barbara Diane 1708915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was Beautiful. Followed by, it'd be nice to have an extra empty room. Followed by the sunlight/fading issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hadn't realized I had left one of my boxes of smaller sized clothes in the path of the light from my garage window. It is not a clear window, more textured/pebbled, so not a lot of light comes through. Anyway, the bin was on the clearer side. I lost weight and pulled out the box and low and behold, there was fading in the shape of a beam of light on many of the items.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708890 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 22:49:40 +0000 shedev 1708890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a mini boutique going when I first joined YLF. I've discovered that I need way less though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708827 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 21:18:40 +0000 RobinF 1708827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree, it looks like a posh boutique. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708822 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 21:16:33 +0000 jill58 1708822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this does look like a boutique! Apparently in 1933, when our house was built, people had very few clothes and very narrow shoulders. The closets are tiny and everything has to be hung on the diagonal. We do in fact store many of our clothes in an extra bedroom but I'm afraid it looks nothing like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708757 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:54:37 +0000 Suz 1708757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a store, not a closet! Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>But why not if you have the space?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708734 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:27:48 +0000 unfrumped 1708734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the light, but do not think the clothing hanging or arrangements look as functional or even attractive as a really well- designed closet! So I think it is an easy way to use a space without the expense of interior customizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708727 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 19:20:36 +0000 El Cee 1708727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a posh boutique.

I had a friend with a window in her closet and a beautiful green leather jacket got ruined just from fading on the side where the window was.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708595 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 16:18:13 +0000 Jane 1708595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! The natural light is fantastic. I would so enjoy getting dressed and made up in that space.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meredith, your spare room closet is lovely, and its nice the way you have used the fire place.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708584 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 16:10:45 +0000 Kristin SF 1708584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW.</p> <p>Closet goals once the kids move out!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708581 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 16:07:06 +0000 Meredith 1708581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My spare room closet is not as pretty...or epic! But it is easier to find things than in the little closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708571 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:41:18 +0000 Inge 1708571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. If only I had an extra room to spare </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708559 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:21:03 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1708559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is awesome - I have also co-opted a spare room, but it's very small and doesn't have all those windows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-house-closet-solution#post-1708555 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:18:10 +0000 Carla 1708555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are many older homes in the small town where I live. Some are grand piles, but there are also many charming small cottages. One intrepid fashionista found a solution to the small closet/no closet problem (pic below) and co-opted a spare room and created a dream closet. I love all the natural light! </p>
