Hello there. Welcome to my favorite room in the house... my closet! My sweet husband helped me turn one of our spare bedrooms into a giant closet this past summer. It's been the best treat ever! In this tour, I'll share all the details of my closet plus some fun storage solutions.
One of my goals, when designing my closet, was to store everything as visually as possible. I love being able to see all my clothing and accessories at a glance! It saves me so much time when styling outfits and pulling items for photo shoots.
I use this wall to hang favorite dresses and upcoming outfits. This dress is my favorite piece that I designed for Red Velvet this past year. I wore it at my rehearsal dinner and I love having it hanging in my space.
One of my favorite collections is vintage luggage, especially the floral kind! I stack it under my coat and dress racks. I love seeing vintage pieces stacked and organized.
I found this pretty vintage swim cap on our honeymoon in Austin. I love it so much and I just found a second one. Photo shoot next summer? Yes, please.
I have a small wall of art in my closet, it's mostly vintage pieces and some pretty Ashley G. prints (I'd rather be thrifting is my favorite!). I also have my "Mrs" banner from Nice on Etsy. It was hanging on my seat at our wedding.
I wanted a fun way to display jewelry, but I didn't want to build something complicated. I opted for simple wooden push pin and paint swatches for a sunny necklace display on one wall. It's temporary so it will be easy to switch up when the mood strikes.
I think that shoes are so beautiful. They're one of my favorite clothing pieces to collect. Instead of hiding them away in my closet, I like to display them all over the room!
My favorite wall in my closet is this little shoe display. My dad helped me hang them and they make me happy every single day! I love decorating with wearable things. Thanks so much for taking a peek at my closet! Cleaning it (and trying on clothes for hours and hours) is one of my favorite weekend and late night hobbies. I'm pretty in love with this little space. xo. elsie

Your clothes and shoes are so darn cute! Love the lawn chair, too. And the swim cap. My closet is definitely much smaller than yours. You should see my collection of pots and pans, though. :-)

LOVE love! So amazing. I am visual with my things too, if they are put away, I forget all about them. So having a wide open space to display your clothes so beautifully is a luxury! Thanks so much for sharing. I have loved seeing all of your spaces!

It's a dream closet!!! You did an amazing thing decorating and organizing it!!! It is indeed a happy place! If I would have a closet like that, I would live there and never leave, and admire pretty things, and play dress-up every day :)
Good luck!

When my husband and I moved to our apartment last year I didn't even ask for the spare bedroom to turn into my closet, I just did it!! LOL But yours appears to be much bigger than mine. I'm so jelly! I also have my shoes displayed out and about the room so I can get a clear vision to how I wanna style my outfit. I have everything pretty neat, organized and pretty. I guess that's why it's also my favorite room in the house. :)
Lovely closet!

I have been dreaming of this lately. My eldest is 17 and graduating in June, I am wondering just how long I have to keep his room as his room after moving out for college. My current closets are busting at the seams! I see visions of one giant dressing room in his. *sigh* Someday.
Love yours!
