show us your closet

Here it is finally:

5 sweaters (under black covers)
15 shirts
19 jeans(some hangers have 2 pairs because there wasn't room for any more hangers
8 assorted coats and jackets(under cloth covers to protect them)

No new purchases until next year when I need new shirts, plus I'll wear my way around the jeans until I need more:

Going to be updated soon

3 sweaters donated to charity because of wool allergy

Can't face trying the 2 new cashmere ones in case I'm allergic to those as well, just stick to thermal vests under shirts all winter

Also might get a new shirt from boyfriend for Christmas, if I'm lucky!!

Long list of Kop wants for next year as well!

Might sell the Burberry coat, because its a mix of cashmere and wool, and I've got an allergy to wool

If so, either I'll buy a new coat, or I'll have the bespoke cashmere lined Japanese Calf trenchcoat which I bought in 2008 tailored to fit better

Haven't been well enough to update..

3 jumpers gone to charity because of wool allergy

Finished with boyfriend so no new shirt, but don't really mind

Coat hasn't sold yet- might give it to my mum or sister if it doesn't sell because of the wool content

If the £2,500 Burberry coat hasn't sold before Christmas, it's my mums XMAS present

Actually my mum's quite short...I think I'll gove it to my sister, who is bigger if it doesn't sell, for Christmas

I finally got around to doing my closet space "Home Improvement" project. I forgot to take any "before" photos before I took the two huge sliding doors off. But I'm so sick of them. This is a work in progress, few things left:

• Ordering a set of ceiling mounted hospital rails and intend to hang a curtain from them. The two sliding doors are not being put back.
• Have to take it all apart at some point in the future in order to repair the walls and repaint.
• While apart, I intend to stain it.

My home is very small (and cheap) so I didn't want to put any real money into this. Total cost was ~$125 dollars so far and about 4 hours of my time to this point. You could probably do it for about $60 if you use construction grade wood and metal rods. I seriously considered some of the +$100 store bought packages but I didn't want particle board and I didn't need shelves. But I did need "something" in between in order to make two rows of rods. Here is my part list (all from a popular home improvement store)

• 3x rod sockets (brushed nickle)
• 96" oak rod (cut in two pieces for the right side)
• 72" oak rod (for the left side)
• 1x12x8 pine (finish quality) for top shelf.
• 1x12x6 pine (finish quality) for vertical separator.
• 2x2x6 pine (finish quality) to serve as anchor point between vertical piece and backer.
• 1x4x6 pine (cheap!) to server as backer (attached to stud)

One of my primary concerns was not having my shirts cramped. This gave me a lot more room, and it'll look nicer when complete. I moved some of the extra items no longer there into storage. I know it's not "nice" but it's a solid improvement and I'm very happy with it. Before photo (forgot to take one that had the sliding doors installed) After photo: After, showing center column:

Where did you get the kit for making two rows to hang shirts?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of installing some new closet systems - unfortunately I don't really know where to begin. I've been looking at IKEA's closet rail system, which seems pretty flexible. But I figured I'd ask here; is there any other systems I should be contemplating? Brands? Designers? Or is a closet just a closet and I'm overthinking this whole thing?


Thanks,
