      You know what? My dream closet has only one hanging rod for dressy stuff, cotton shirts, and dresses. I want the other 2 walls to be floor to ceiling cubby holes, where you roll your sweaters and knit t-shirts and leggings and pants and slide them like tubes into each small cubby hole. I just hate hangers... Wouldn't work for you as you have too many nice dresses that would need ironing if they weren't hung up.

    We downsized about 6 years ago from a 4 bedroom, 2 story plus a basement, to a 3 bedroom ranch. Luckily, there was a room built onto the back of the garage. It has a separate unit for heat and air, and a closet. We decided to turn that into our "vintage closet". My husbands clothing, shoes and accessories take up much more room than my things. We did Closet Maid racks and shelves along every wall. Double racks on one for separates. We can keep the steamer in there and of course we had to have a small step ladder, because I am short! it works for us. BTW. We each have a small closet in the primary bdrm, but he has the closets in one of the other bedrooms and in the office. I get the small closet in the third bedroom, mostly for sewing and fabric. I use it as my sewing/craft/ office room. Each of those bedrooms also has a bed for when the grandsons come to spend the night. They are used to living with our projects!

      This question feels more like a judgment and in bad faith, as If you took just a moment to look through my channel your questions would be answered.
      I’ve been dressing in vintage and collecting for over 30 years.

      I'm truly sorry if my question seemed to be a judgement it wasn't my intention. I love your style/clothing and I have a hard time finding somewhere to wear nice clothes. Was planning to go back and look at your other videos. Will try to watch my comments in future. Again really sorry.
