If you have Kim Kardashian’s budget, stop reading RIGHT NOW!

OK, if I’m a gambling man, I’ll bet most (if not all) of you are still reading.

You’ve seen Kim’s drool-worthy custom closets adorning the pages of tabloid magazines and Pinterest alike. And sure, you’d soooo love to have your closet be as stylish as hers. But here’s one sobering thought you know……

That ain’t happenin’

OK, ‘there’s still a chance’ it could happen like Lloyd…

You’ve come to the conclusion you’ve had it with your sagging, cheap wire closet. Or your sick of your nicked-up, painted plywood ‘closet system’ (and I use this phrase in only the most sarcastic way) the original builder slapped in years ago.

Your closet not only does you NO FAVORS trying to find your favorite shoes, sweaters, or blouses, but it makes you feel nervous and disorganized. And it certainly DOESN’T add grace and beauty to your…

However, no matter what your opinion about this study is, here’s one fact I’ll…

Boots are tracking in snow, dirt, and ice.   

Heavy coats, scarves, and mittens are littered on the floor or putting a strain on your…
