"Closet Eye Candy"

I love hanging out in my closet.  I know it's a little weird, but it's like my "safe" place.  It's where I go when a bad storm brews.  It's where I go when I really need to be alone with God.  It's even where I've been known to hang out on the phone on one of those long conversations that seem to linger on for hours.  Plus, I don't know about you, but I need a comfy space to mull over my wardrobe choices and an inspiring "happy" place to put together fabulous new combinations. 

Yep, I love the closet.  And while I had lots of space in my previous home's master closet......


                           

My current one's are not so accommodating...

While I've yet to finish off either of them, eventually I'd like to spruce them both up.  I think there are a few keys to creating a hang out kind of closet.  Here they are:

• Seating.  I've always wanted a walk-in with a round (preferably tufted) ottoman.  Something about that just sounds luxurious to me.  A bright chair also does the trick.  Bottom line, if you're going to hang-out, you're going to need a place to sit.

•  Organization.  If you're going to want to hang out, it can't look like a disaster area.  Clean out, declutter, take inventory and determine what system and storage needs are best for you.

• Drama.   A chandelier, graphic wallpaper, something needs to be a little dramatic.  A wow factor!

• Color.  The thought of wallpaper make you cringe?  Never fear, a bright color works just as well.  But this is no time to play it safe.  I mean it's a closet.  Let your hair down.  Bubble Gum Pink, Midnight Blue, Florida Orange; why not!

• Work what you've got.  You don't even need a walk-in to have a hang out worthy closet.
