I talked to the BF the other day about turning one of our extra bedrooms into a closet.  I have kind of a big closet right now.  It’s in a den right now, but there’s no window in it, and I’d rather have a little sunlight and more room.  Two of our extra bedrooms are just sitting empty (our third extra bedroom is a guest bedroom). I of course don’t want to spend a lot of money, so a lot of stuff will probably have to be made by me.

And he said he’s good with the idea! I want to paint one of the walls striped like below.

And I want a nice chair in there and an ottoman. I plan on putting everything together myself, so it’ll be hard and a lot of work, but it’ll be worth it. I figure I could find closet book shelf type furniture at Lowes or Home Depot and just have a couple rows of that.  And then I want a really big mirror.

Any tips? Do any of you have a big closet that I could grab some ideas from?

    Would be amazing if you could do that all by yourself! I don't have a huge closet, so can't give you tips! But I would love to see the result of course!

    My dream closet! My old apartment had a huge walk in closet and I miss it so much. I like your idea of the striped wall and having a chair in their too! And a big mirror for sure. Would love to see how yours comes out!P.S. You asked on my blog about my camera. I use a Canon Rebel T3. I love it & I take it everywhere with me :)-Holly @ Eight Six Eleven
