Dream Space - My New Closet Tour

Welcome to one of my favorite 

rooms in our new home.  

My closet!  

I had inspiration photos from 

a closet I had seen years 

ago, and the builder and 

cabinet maker did a great 

job updating the design and 

creating a dream space. 

One of my goals was to have all 

of my clothes behind doors.  

You will notice when 

influencers show their 

closets, they have minimal clothes 

showing and all color coordinated.  

Well, we all know they have more 

clothes than they pictured and 

we all know closets, real closets, 

get messy looking, so I wanted it 

all hidden. 

I also wanted lots of 

drawers, so this island has 

drawers on each side.

More drawers over here 

too, so lots and lots of 

storage.

The cabinets are divided into 

some high/low and some for 

long dresses, and the upper 

cabinets leave great space 

for long term storage.  

I found these fabulous and 

beautiful, yet light weight 

ladders and bought several 

to have around the house. 

I got a three step, four step, 

and five step in gold and keep them 

in separate rooms around the 

house.  They are super slim 

and I tuck one right at the 

end of one of these cabinets 

in my closet.  You can't even 

see it.

You can see a peek into hubby's 

closet in the back of this 

photo - not as grand as mine, 

but lots of space and he chose 

black and white for his shelves and 

a more modern look.  The large 

doors conceal a washer and 

dryer - not stacked.  We love 

this.

I also wanted display cases 

for fancy shoes and purses.  

I had them add the corner 

shelving with glass and lights 

to highlight these.  

Of course, the granddaughters 

love to come and play with the 

shoes and purses.  Oh, don't grow up!

The inspiration photo also 

had a stair going up to 

the upper level in the house.  

Our railing guy copied the 

design of the rail, which is 

beautiful and feminine.  

I love the oval window and 

it has a motorized blind that 

comes out of the valance.  

I found this gorgeous vanity desk 

and popped it in the space by 

the stairs.  It fits perfectly. 

You can see a peek of the 

fairy dress I created for my 

fantasy photo displayed up 

on the shelf.

We got a bid for tufting the back wall 

and they wanted to charge us $30K, 

so we opted out of that and laid this 

beautiful diamond studded tile. 

I ended up liking it better because it 

is a more updated look than tufting. 

The stairs leads up to more closet 

space, but as we were building 

I had a sleepover with some of 

the granddaughters and I decided 

I didn't need that much closet space 

up there, so we turned it into a 

closet and a nursery.  I placed 

three French canopy beds 

up there and eliminated one 

large closet.  I will feature 

that on another post.

There is a hidden door leading to 

a closet under the stairs where 

I have more shoes and hanging 

hooks.  It is also a great stash area.

The chandeliers are show-

stoppers and everyone 

comments on them.  This 

triple one going up the 

stairs weighed 150 lb. and 

they had to add more support. 

I was amazing to watch the 

workers hang all of the 

crystals on all my chandeliers.

I also wanted my jewelry 

easily accessible and so we 

made the top drawers of the 

island velvet-lined and added 

lighting.  

When I was out of town, my daughter, 

who lives next door, found my 

Fancy Nancy 

book and placed it in the 

display shelves.  I thought that 

was so appropriate.

I think my mother would have loved 

these display shelves.  She taught 

me to love high heels. 

More home tours to come - 

just so busy living life to 

the fullest with 10 grandkids 

and my niece all next door neighbors!

Thanks for stopping by.
