You never knew buying a walk-in closet could be so complicated. Not only did you need to work with your closet designer to figure out the right size and mix of drawers, hanging and shelving but THEN you were confronted with a slew of finish and pattern options (or, worse yet, you’re trying to make all these decisions on your own).

You have no idea what patterns and colors to choose.

If this describes you, you’re far from alone. While the…

So, you found the perfect condo or apartment in the city, or home with character in an inner ring suburb…. except for one thing. You have NO IDEA where you’re going to put all your clothes. The small walk-in master closet barely fits your massive shoe and purse collection. Where can you find space? The miniscule reach in closets in the other rooms WILL NOT be the answer.

• I’m convinced she’s never met a…

I have too much room in my closet said…NO ONE…. EVER!

Cramped closets are the norm and I’m here to tell you it’s not all your fault (or your husbands, partners or significant ‘utters either).

Perhaps the storage space in your vintage home was built ‘back-in-the-day’ when no one owned (on average) 31 pairs of shoes (this is what the average woman owns today). Back in those days 2 pairs of shoes was common. One for everyday and one for Sunday…

What a perfect world it would be to find a home designed exactly to your family’s needs. This home would include the perfect master suite for you and your husband. A large yard for your 2 young daughters and would be easy for your Mom to navigate (who needs the assistance of a wheelchair) through any floor level of the home.
