I live in England and have a walk in closet next to the en suite, lined with ikea wardrobes. Wondering why more european homes dont have them, I guess im just one of the lucky ones!

OMG you're soooo lucky. Im from England too and I have never saw a house with a closet. I wish more houses here did

I had to fight the parents for it though! Im sure its gone for a better use(LV) now i have it though.
And ive been inspired by the photograph labelling system..off to buy a polaroid camera(just because i the white edges on the photos) tomorrow.

I label the boxes with small printed pics of the bags and their brand, color, style, and name. ie LV mono speedy 30 Gucci gold guccissima bouvier http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...et/edited1.jpg btw, the lv's are on the left side, unseen coz they're in boxes below the wardrobe rack. more pics at: >>--- Philosophical Style ---<<: Oh, to be a blog ingénue + the story of the wardrobe extension

I love your wardrobe!!!!!!

Theresa, fabulous collection and exhibit. I had California Closets in my Townhouse, where I loved each cubby for one of my bags (I dont have a huge collection), but now I have a huge closet and no cubbies. My bags are in their dustbags sitting on shelf... I would love glass cases like you, but I can remember my bags, not too many... I love your setup! and collection!

Very Isabella Marcos, isn't that what she did with her shoe collection? So, organized... pics on each box. that rocks!

Oh, for all my small accessories, I have big seagrass trunks from Cost Plus, they fit my LV collection perfectly for small cles, agendas, and a bedford or two.. the seagrass lets them breathe, and, I can remember what's in there, it's also a great inexpensive idea...

OMG, I love your closets. I will have to take a pic and post too.

Patina: Your storage solution is wonderful! I love the glass doors =)

yea I hate that I can't look at them lol. To avoid dust, I just keep them in their dustbags. I have NO room in my closet, sadly, so I keep them on top of my armoire:






I'm running out of room though. Some of them are also on my desk. =(
I need a bigger closet!

Thanks for posting your pic because after seeing yours, I'm going to do that too. I didn't want to spend too much money on storage, but this is just in my price range for what I wanted to spend. Plus, I think IKEA's having a sale this weekend. (Off topic--I lived in Irvine from 1999-2002, and now there's that huge IKEA off off Harbor Blvd, by the 405!)

Yes, I believe it is the BILLY! I can't believe you know the name! That's awesome. Three fit perfectly in one shelf - it will even hold the Lussac, which is pretty tall. Yes, the Harbor store is the one I go to! This bookcase has the same thing on the bottom side, but I have white wooden doors - I think I might have to replace them with glass now since I need to expand in ...

Here is one shelf in my closet. There are more below and a bunch in their boxes on the floor....I seriously need a bigger closet!

Thanks~! I heard great things about Californai Closets! Well, a huge closet is better than anything else!!

oops...here is a better pic of the closet....sadly hubby said if I run out of room I need to sell...he's just kidding but hmmm men..they don't understand why we need more closet space!

I absolutely love patina and pixiedust82 closet. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but last week I was organizing my closet and thinking of buying bookshelves from IKEA to organize my purse. Then, I saw this thread and I can't wait to get out of work on Friday and start organizing my closet. Maybe, I'll post pictures too .
