In Plain Sight
As I get ready to move to San Francisco, I’m filing away little ideas to get a head start on dealing with the reality that I probably will not have the giant closets that Santa Barbara apartments have spoiled me with.
The styling here is lovely, and suggests that if your luggage and footwear are beautiful, and you don’t have a lot of closet space, why not just display them nicely?
If you style your belongings that belong in the closet as though your apartment were a store, artfully arranging pieces, mixing clothing items in with other kinds of things, and keeping it all very tidy, I think you can get away with it. And why not use normal furniture as shoe/bag/jewelry storage?
Speaking of which, what ever happened to a good old-fashioned armoire for storing hanging clothes?
Eliza,
Your sister was recently telling me what an interesting blog you have! I have been enjoying it for the last few mins. I especially liked this piece as storage is always an issue, plus what a great excuse to buy pretty things! Doug and I live in an old (1910) rowhouse where closets are minuscule and the attic is nonexistent. I will definitely rethink some of the books in my barristers cabinet and possibly replace them with attractive housewares and bags. Thanks for this great idea. Good luck on your move, hope you enjoy SF.
