Sandra’s Dressing Room Closet

When Jim married Sandra, he knew she came with stuff. So he built a closet for her. Not just a closet. Sandra’s Dressing Room Closet.

Sandra spent a lot of time on Pinterest planning the closet. Together they made her dream closet a reality.

A super comfortable seat for the dressing table

Meanwhile, Sandra shopped for furniture for the new dressing room.  She started by shopping her own house.

This desk chair doesn’t really match her vision, but it’s so practical and comfortable. A simple slip cover!

This dresser creates an island in the center of the closet. The crystal pendant hangs over it.

The island is narrow, so it is not too close on either side.

Plenty of room for everything

Because these shelves are adjustable, they can be moved to accommodate any wardrobe changes.
