my closet II

it’s a walk in!! I had converted a playroom in my old apt into a walk in closet off my bedroom and it’s one of the things I was most sorry to give up………

when I went apt hunting last year but the fist time I visited this apt (where I'm living now) and saw this small room off the sun room attached to my bedroom (what I like to call my “bedroom suite” ((& I do air quotes)) when I'm giving any first time visitor to my apt – the full tour)

I knew this would be my walk in closet II & on steroids lol (compared to my old place) and boy it totally is this is totally still a work in progress but let me show you how its coming along….

this is a long pictured filled one get something to drink…..
