The Pursuit of Closet Space


As I have often noted, we live in a small 70-year-old cape cod style house.  Seventy years ago, apparently closets were not a key design element - I suspect they were more or less begrudged.  So a whopping 3 feet per closet somehow made sense.  Clearly, house designers of that era hadn't met women similar to my sainted wife.

Early on, we embarked upon a bedroom closet expansion effort.  Many thousands of dollars later, we had a beautiful 8' closet with mirrored doors and two huge bureaus.  Fantastic.

But not fantastic enough...  Soo, for many thousands of dollars more, we revamped things some years later: wall-to-wall closets (THINK of all that closet space!) and no bureaus.  Fantastic.

But, and needless to say there was a but, in such tight confines it was difficult to fit a walk-in closet.  This shortcoming festered within one of us, and now, many thousands of dollars later yet again, we have achieved closet heaven.

Or so I pray.
