Bedroom Renovation Part 2

One problem area of my bedroom was where to put the interim clothing. Clothing that wasn’t quite dirty enough to wash but I still wanted it to air out a bit before it gets put away.

I never had this problem in the past because of one reason. All of my other places I’ve lived had walk in closets. Closets that were big enough to hold all of my clothing with room to spare and air out. They didn’t have walk in closets in the 1950s when my house was built so I’ve had this problem ever since I moved in. I thought this ladder would work.

It did not.

So maybe I’ll buy a wardrobe dress that can hang clothing! The only one I had found that I even remotely liked was from West Elm. It was THOUSANDS of dollars.

I couldn’t pull the trigger so I kept shopping and looking.

I happened upon a Company called Mustard and they make pretty metal lockers. All sorts of colors and styles and I fell in love.

It was hard to pick a color and because I hadn’t repainted or hung my wallpaper up it was hard to choose something that would go but I went with my heart and my gut and ended up with:

Before I go any further I have to say that this thing was packaged immaculately. I’ve never seen such a smartly packaged piece of furniture. I had to put it together, it came in two flat packs. Ikea could learn from this company. Absolutely kudos to them.

This thing solves all of my problems and as of this writing I’ve been using this for 2 months now. It works and has kept working.

Problem 1: Messy clothes

Solution: Doors to hide the clothing but the clothes are organized with hangers and shelves and baskets now.

Problem 2: Airing the clothes out

Solution: This thing has ventilation slats.

Problem 3: Putting clothes away when it’s time

Solution: Now that the clothes are organized inside when I need to put clothes away I can just move hangers from here into my closet and then grab the empty hangers to put back into the lockers, rinse and repeat.

I love this thing so much I’m thinking of getting ANOTHER one for my entry way to keep my coats and boots in.
