(i'm sorry...i know......kinda cheesy of us! LOL) so i picked him up at the airport with the orange box in the car and as soon as he got in....i opened the box to find this:

vintage 28cm black porosus croc gold hardware kelly!!!!!

What a SWEET DH!!! How cute! After what you've posted and told us with your MIL, you really are a sweetheart and patient, it is beautiful to see how he respects you and appreciates your efforts !

LOL!! anyways, boohoo!! he's no FUN! so we settled for a gas one that turns on with a remote.

PBC: Your taste and style are just EXQUISITE!!!! Job well done!!!!

LOL

my 2 yrs old twin nieces like to run in and out of it. so cute! my BFF's 2 yr old son has also gone inside so i guess it's got his stamp of approval as well!

Too freakin' cute!!! *Sending good baby vibes your way!* You will make an amazing mother!!!!

btw just occur to me because of seeing this pic, your hanger inside the cupboard are so high, how do u get your clothes out from the cupboard? or the shoes from the highest shoe rack? (fine for the shoes maybe u use expandable stairs to reach) but for the clothes? i find it impossible to climb up and down each day...tell me tell me what do u use to reach e hanger eveyday?

i have pull down rods. it's a rod that is attached to the middle section of each horizontal hanging rod. i pull on it & it brings the entire section down to my level. this way i don't have to climb up on a ladder to reach the clothes. very convenient! as for shoes, i just leave the ones that i wear the least up on top.

PBC you are amazing! This is my first post on the forums and hopefully the rest of the threads I view are as AMAZING as yours!

Let me guess-- you are a professional stylist and your DH a professional gambler?

Ok, prob not but I bet whatever you guys do its glamorous and definitely in style!

[candace117]

PBC you are too freaking adorable

[Deesie]

You're closet is breathtaking!!

[mysticrita]

Hi Pbc, well i just want to thx you for sharing, everythng is amazing, congrats for your house, and i wish you the best !

[januarti]

HI PBC, congrats to your new house.
My house used to look like that, like a picture from magazine but fast forward ( 5 years later ) with 2 kids, toys everywhere, writing on the wall, kids want to try all mummy clothes and accessories. It is really hard to prevent something like that happened .
But I dont regret it. I will just have to wait for the kids to grow up to redecorate my house again but i think it's a longgggg way to go

That sounds amazing. I have not seen something like this, if it's not too much trouble, could you post a pic?

I think its called the Monceau. I think it was designed after the serviette conselllier Gorgeous Collection Peanut. I am not personally a fan of Hermes....But any closet with that many purses deserves a standing ovation! Good for you!
