Edit
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...remember that commercial with Kelly LeBrock? - Well, don't hate me because my closet has gotten BIGGER! Ha! Ok, so it's done...& I finally feel like I have a place for everything! It feels amazing to be this organized, know what I mean?
I think I would FREAK OUT everyday if my closet wasn't neat & organized!! Creating extra shelving IS DEFINITELY a great way to keep things in place & organized...I can't say it enough.
I think I would FREAK OUT everyday if my closet wasn't neat & organized!! Creating extra shelving IS DEFINITELY a great way to keep things in place & organized...I can't say it enough.
For this side of my closet, I decided to add some leopard print wallpaper that I purchased online via Interior Mall.
I like that it adds to that boutique look that I was going for & also adds some depth to this wall. Having so many clutches- I needed a specific place to display them. We figured that building little cubbies made sense and it would feel like I was shopping for clutches, which I love!
I also saved a section to the right hand side of this wall for longer hanging items. The boards were all purchased at Home Depot and stained to match the rest of the closet which gives it a consistent feel. The bottom half of the closet is reserved for my clothes hamper and maybe a pair of boots.
It's an UGLY hamper, so I may end up buying another one that's more aesthetically pleasing & still functional!

Oddly enough in this month's Lonny Mag - there's a closet with a wallpaper background...! See it here.
BIG Thanks to my guy for all the work he did....he's awesome!
Update below: People kept asking me where my clothes are. Here's a pic of the left side of my closet where most of my hanging items & other items are in drawers....this side is made up of IKEA cabinets.
So, tell me...what do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts & questions...

ReplyDeleteMy question is about where you got your leopard purse in the fourth column over next to the pink purse?! I tried to do a search on your blog and couldn't find anything.
Thanks! xo
I am thinking... I would love to see that leopard print every where, and a whole lot of Mirror.
ReplyDeleteIt's just swell.
Try 'The Container Store' for some hamper option.
Cheers!

Love your closet and your animal-print clutches ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Are you still happy with your IKEA system? I've love to know what your thoughts are after living with it for a bit.
ReplyDeleteit looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteLilac and Grey
I love what you've done with it. i love how you've added color and patterns.
ReplyDeletemy wardrobe is all mirrors, silver wallpaper and warm lighting. at the time i had it fitted (with help from an interior designer i had commissioned) it achieved the look i wanted at that time, simple and elegant.
looking at your wardrobe now, i realise the time has come for me to add some color.
you can check out my wardrobe pics on my blog:

ReplyDeleteSOPHIE: glad u like it... It's super cute & it's by Rachel Roy ;) I blogged about it a few weeks ago! ;) thx!
ReplyDeleteSHESNOMRTHA: yes! Still love my IKEA closet system. No problems & it's got plenty of storage. You can move the drawers & shelving around which is nice when you want to change things up!
ReplyDeletesuper super jealous! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! I'm gonna have to hunt it down now! xx
ReplyDeletePerfection. Love seeing the leopard paper play against the leopard clutches.

ReplyDeletewow! LOVE LOVE LVOE!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, is that a little black studded tylie malibu clutch? if so, how do you like it? I am thinking about buying a handbag and wasn't sure about the leather quality?
ReplyDeleteLove it! I also have a *slight* clutch obsession and currently they're all in a big white storage box, which is kind of annoying when I go rummaging for one... Love that all yours are on show, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh my Jen! Looks amazing! I'll take the closet as well as your wardrobe! Love that leopard wallpaper -- I will be keeping it in mind for future projects for sure. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, love it! Great idea for storing bags and clutches, love the leopard print on the back of shelves! x
ReplyDeleteYour closet is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore that wonderful boutique-feel that you've managed channel. Thanks for sharing the transformation.
I love you closet! I wish some day I had a closet like yours, both for the size and all the stuff there is in it ;) Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMaria @ Green Love Designs (previously @ My current hobby!)
Could it be more glamorous?? I want it! Def inspired the day I get a walk in closet! Kind of tempted to move away from the city just so I could have a huge and beautiful closet like that. The leopard print looks STUNNING!!
ReplyDeleteholy! it looks great!! if you dont mind me asking, what type of woodstain did you use?
ReplyDeleteJEN OMG love!!! so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteHello! I think your closet is amazing but the most amazing is the number of comments been post. Keep up with your great blogging!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fauxbilicious,blogspot.com
Lovely, lovely, lovely. The leopard print just puts it over the edge.
ReplyDeleteWell, of course, you did GREAT! Love your accessories. To me, accessories are the most essential things. And, speaking of those things, would you like to do a giveaway of one of my new Fall necklaces? Come see on Page 2 of my blog. Also, I have some amazing single strands, large mm beads in hematite and in onyx, not photographed yet. Love you....
ReplyDeletethe closet turned out fantastic! my dad made similar "purse-slots" for my mom in the custom closet he built her... and she is IN LOVE!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to do this to my closet one day!
Jen, as usual you've inspired me! My closet is next on my to do list.
ReplyDeleteSo. Totally. Jealous! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe hubs and I are in the works of completely redoing our closet from top to bottom. From the floors, walls, to everything in between and your closet has been one of out inspiration photos that we constantly look at! I think your closet is gorg and most of all I LOVE all the cubbies that you have created.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing...I love how you have displayed your purses!

Okay, I've been lurking around your blog for months now and I have to finally step forward and say that this addition to your closet is simply STUNNING!! As an Interior Design student I'm always perusing magazines and websites for new and fresh ideas for design projects but, personally, I generally have an affinity for well-designed closets, kitchens, and bathrooms. Your closet definitely makes the best-dressed list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

This is so hot! But where does your hubby's stuff go? Does he have a man-closet elsewhere? My fiance and I share a small walk-in closet so I don't get to do anything this fun with it!
ReplyDeleteThe wallpaper is GORGEOUS!!!! I may have to steal the idea. We actually have two closets in our master suite. My husband has the one that was in the original floor plan. We converted the den in the original plan into my closet (placing a wall where the door would have been in the hall and adding french doors in the bedroom). I have dark wood shelving units from Home Depot (adam+roth). I just adore the "room". Sometimes, I grab a mag and just hang out in there!
ReplyDeleteSPIRITD: we actually have two master closets in our bedroom. He has his own ;) thankfully!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I want that wallpaper, so girly.
ReplyDeleteThis is just GREAT... =)

ReplyDeleteI love your closet! I just had my man strap on his toolbelt and give me an update in mine too...I'm feeling ya about the hamper, I always have to tuck mine away because I stand the sight of it. Love your blog and your print shop!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your closet! But where are all your clothes? Our closet is a similar size but is filled with so much clothes, I don't think we'd have that much space for little shelves. It's definitely got me thinking though...
ReplyDeleteJen, I love all your post, but looking at a dream closet makes any girl super happy. Just one thing I noticed which I thought was funny was that you use plastic hangers! lol. I would have expected pretty ones or wooden ones. I still love your post thought ;)
ReplyDeleteLIZ SALDANA : sorry I didn't have any money left over for pretty wooden hangers ... Just kidding LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat's an old pic (which I'll replace soon) ... I actually have wooden hangers now, just like u see in the hanging section near the floor!
Thank you you are amzing thanku for the inspiration your closet is awesome I love it so funky yet so intelligent a bit like its owner I should imagine you are a true Home genius thankyou for sharing yourbrilliant mind creative yet functional funky yet classy you have it all Girl
