Do you have enough closet space?

I'm just wondering if there is such a thing, lol.  I caught a bit of a show tonight that I've never seen; I think it is called "Mom Caves".  They designed a closet for a woman and put her wedding dress on display in a glass case.  It was so pretty.  I long for a closet with lots of built in shelves. 

I need a closet bigger than my room. I have too much stuff in my room and my closet is FULL.

Plenty.  Though most of the stuff in my closet is stuff I don't want cats to get to(paper towels/toilet paper is the biggest thing).  I have some closet doors off for cat shelves:S, They were just going to get that closet open anyhow so it is only used on top 2 shelves for towels/supplies.

Only thing I wish we had is a cabinet bathroom sink.  I would like a more convenient spot for cleaners/extra shampoos and what not.
 

Never. There are only two bedrooms in the house, both with closets. Rick has the deep closet in the master and my closet is in the other bedroom, which is the computer room really. There's a large double closet in the bathroom, a hall closet, and a pantry closet in the kitchen. It's simply not enough for all our stuff. Our kitchen has wrap-around cupboards, so there are cupboards on all three sides (the builder wanted to just do an L-shaped cupboard display and I said definitely not because I wanted lots of space).

Rick built a ton of shelving in the basement for Christmas decorations and the like. Then he built another set of shelving, simply for my Winterberry dishes that I use from November to the beginning of March. Now we put the old entertainment center from the living in the basement and I'm using that to store kitchen items that I don't use all the time (but still need even twice a year). Under the steps in the basement (we have a bilevel), he put in shelves for canned goods.

It's still not enough space. Either that or we have way too much stuff.

When my brother redid their house he converted one of the main floor bedrooms into a huge closet for him and his wife.  Now that I have a 2 bedroom apartment I have 1 extra closet.  I am not a clothes horse, so one closet for my clothing is plenty.  But I tend to use the closets for storage of things like my floor cleaning machine, vacuum, step ladder, paper towels and toilet paper etc.  So the extra closet is handy. It now means that my bedroom closet can stay strictly for my clothing and nothing else.

I don't have that many clothes, but my uniforms seem to take their unfair share of my closet space.  I would like to have a closet big enough to have...an echo. 

And Winchester, I love Winterberry dishes.

I'm kind of philosophical about closet space: I realize there's only such and such an amount of space, so I try to limit what I have to fit it.  It's a holdover from living with my parents for so long. I had the world's worst clothes closet!  It was 3ft wide, but 2 rails deep (NEVER, NEVER build a closet with 2 rails, front and back!). And the ceiling always leaked, despite fixing the roof several times.  It got to the point that I could only use the front rail, as the back wall mildewed constantly. Yep, 3 whole feet of closet rail to hang things on.  Did I mention that the floor was unusable, as well?

At least I could hang a shoe pocket on the back of the door...

When I moved into my 1st place, an apartment, I was tickled pink to have an 8ft long closet, even though I had to share it with DH!  And I still had room for more stuff in it.

Our house has a 6ft wide closet and a 7ft wide one in the master bedroom. DH took the smaller one.  I don't have a dresser (he does), so my closet is a bit small for what I liek to have. I put 2 plastic drawer storage units in it for underwear, socks, foldables.  I do store out-of-season clothes shoes in the attic, in 2 big Rubbermaid totes.

The rest of the house is pretty good with closet space.  I have a tiny, narrow linen closet upstairs. We recently installed a flat door, so I could put wire racks on the back of it. I store shampoo, toilet paper, etc. there. Bi-fold doors are annoying on a narrow closet!

We're blessed with a decent-sized laundry room, which came with a lot of wire shelving--over the washer/dries and from floor to ceiling on the side wall.  I use it as a sort of butler's pantry--for my serving pieces and cleaning supplies. I think the previous owner may have used it for a litter box! When we re-tiled the floor, we found some scattered scented litter that had gotten under the vinyl flooring! For the life of me, I couldn't understand why she kept her vacuum in the coat closet--where the water main is. I saw evidence of leakage there when we moved in. Which brings me to:

THE WORLD'S MOST DANERGOUS CLOSET:

The "coat" closet. It's not up to code. The circuit breaker is on the back wall. You're not supposed to put anything flammable in front of it.  Coats are flammable.  Maybe they figured that the leaking water main would extinguish the coat fire from the circuit breaker?

 AND someone had wired the doorbell circuit by placing the metal ringing thingy on the floor of a METAL circuit breaker box. Oh, that's brilliant.  If you were touching the inside of the c.b. box, and someone rang the door bell, you could get very shocked. And, for an added thrill, if you were standing in any water from the water main, you could get electrocuted. That's was our first home improvement!

I'm lucky to have a small pantry under the stairs.  It had 3, 3" deep shelves when we moved it.  We installed deep wire shelves, and a new door, with racks on the back.

There is no such thing - in my world, anyways.

Here in Florida it is unusual to have a cellar. We live in a small apartment and don't have a garage or attic either. There's no spare room, so the 2 closets we have are neat, but STUFFED. So are the cabinets, china cabinet, file cabinet, entertainment center, and under the bed. In addition, we have things hanging on or behind doors.

Well, living in the RV, the car (van) is simply an extra closet. :lol3:
