I’m a lucky girl (I say this rarely so take note) – I have the luxury of having a few more rooms than I actually need. Do not convey this to Graham as I am forever droning on that I need more rooms not less but that’s another story altogether. Anyhow I digress – my closet is ok looking with clothes and shoes shoved behind big doors with super sized handles but since I saw Jenna Lyons dressing room a while back I have been thinking about converting one of our rooms (actually Graham’s office into my closet). Not totally sure where Graham will move to as he can’t come downstairs – he is far to messy and it would drive me bananas, and I would have to be highly medicated at all times! There is always the garden I’m thinking. A sweet little hermit cabin at the bottom near the lilac tree would be super sweet for his office – no?
Anyway enough about that– lets talk closets. I’m rather getting into having clothes, shoes bit and bobs on display as per below. The only problem being my stuff wouldn’t look quite so sexy – muddy Wellington boots, holey pyjamas and trainers that Maud has chewed to bits (she teething its ok she’s allowed) but I like the informality of it all and love how easy it would be to just pull together a look.

Just beautiful love this look.
you ARE a crack up! sniggering away here…. you might not have realised it, but in your second sentence you’ve admitted you need ‘another STORY’! Forget the extra rooms – go for the whole STORY I say – that way perhaps Graham can keep his office… that first image is particularly enticing to me! Want it!
Good plan – extend up another level. Not sure the budget quite stretches to this just yet which is why a shed in the garden for Graham was my way of thinking!!
if your stuff wouldn’t look ‘quite so sexy’, my stuff would look like the goth room.. all black.
i love this idea too. love the top pic. the cabinet. wow.
Hmm, I’m thinking you can only do this if you have a colourful clothes habit. Pictures are gorgeous though.
Yes I agree – doesn’t it just make you want to shove everything in a bag give to charity and start again
Love love love. I wouldn’t mind an Ugly Betty wardrobe. So full of bright colours.

besides clothes, do you have good recommendation regarding jewellery storage? I have been looking for a floor standing cabinet. practical ones are easy to find but couldn’t find one that i really love. i am also thinking about doing a DIY full length mirror with zebra print fabric. do you think it is easy to make?
I am the worst person to ask regarding jewellery storage I hate to say – mine gets shoved in a drawer. Mirror sounds fun if you didn’t want to make you could rework a vintage one am always seeing floor length mirrors at flea markets and like the zeebra idea – very rock n roll
