sneak peek... clothes room

When my man and I were house-hunting we had certain criteria of what we wanted such as 3+ bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms, a garage (which we unfortunately didn't get, I curse you snow shoveling!), sufficient outdoor space and staying in West Wellington Village.  Being a hoarder collector of clothes, shoes, accessories, and anything to do with my wardrobe, one of my biggest priorities was a large closet.  The house we ended up buying has a wall to wall closet in our master bedroom but I always dreamed of walking into a closet that felt like a clothing boutique.  And that's how my clothes room was born.  My man spent countless hours installing closet track systems in the small attic bedroom and slowly but surely the space has started to evolve.  It isn't quite complete, I want it to be perfect before I show it off to the blogosphere but here is a sneak peek of some of the highlights.

{Floppy hats, all brand new thanks to a recent bargain shopping spree at Simon's in Montreal}

{Sun hats}

{Rings galore}

{Arm candy}

{Lingerie}

{Sweaters & long sleeve blouses}

{Winter blazers in front, summer tops in back}

Do you have a special space for your wardrobe?

  12. Now I'm sad. I thought I had a big closet 5' x 10'. I have so much blogger envy right now!!!
    You should start a new blog called Emily's closet!!!
    I can't wait to see the finished room. The the chore is to keep it tidy! Maybe we should make you post a picture a month so we can keep an eye on you!!!!

  19. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ENVIOUS of your closet, Emily! I totally want to have a bigger "collection" of clothing but we just don't have the space right now. One day, though! Also, your man is AWESOME for installing all the fixtures for you. What a keeper!

  23. I want a closet that is like a little boutique too. So I'm very jealous of you right now. I am seriously lacking in closet space. I can't want to see your final results.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
