Doubling the size of my Antique Closet

- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- Welcome friends! Today I am sharing how we expanded my small bedroom closet in our antique home. When living in a home that is over 200 yrs old, a challenge is storage space, specifically Closets. In today's video I share how we were able to be a bit creative and make my small closet a bit larger (and cute). Thank you for watching and enjoy!

That was so cleaver. And you are lucky to have a husband who can do this. He is definitely a keeper. ❤
I agree, thank you Jo Ann😊
Carla you’re so lucky that your husband can do all this .The closest turned out great 👍
Thank you!
Congratulations on your new closet space. I love the personal feminine additions. It's really pretty. Your azaleas are glorious, too.
Thanks for sharing. 🩷
Thank you!
Hi Carla, . your beautiful azaleas. Mark did a wonderful job. You have arranged everything so beautifully.. Love the little sentimental things you have arranged. How sweet are your beautiful Girls to Take you to Tiffany's for a surprise birthday git. I hope we haven't missed your birthday. Love your handbag collection . Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much Maria! My Birthday was in December and they took me early in the Fall when my oldest Daughter was home visiting. A special memory for sure! Have a beautiful day Maria!
Your hubby is so handy, does he have a brother lol
Your closet came out beautiful
I understand about it
I always had walk in closet
It means everything to me lol
I love your bedroom,
Thank you Joann. Mark is actually the youngest of six, but not all as talented as he. LOL. Have a great week!
Hi Carla. Love how Mark did your closet, it turned out really nice with the extra space. Have to admit I'm envious, I would love a walk-in closet. The Rhododendron is beautiful. Take care. Jeanette, New Zealand.
Awww, thank you so much Jeanette. Have a wonderful week!
WE can always use more closet space. I'd be excited also. Love your pretty vignettes. And finally, here in Seattle we have rabbits now and they bite off the heads of my tulips without consuming the head. Grrrr....
Oh no, those stinkers!!! Thank you Marie, the little vignettes make me happy every time I go in there. Have a beautiful Sunday!
Hi Carla, Mark did a great job enlarging your closet and I love your feminine touches. I went to a Derby party yesterday and received several compliments on your body mist fragrance I was wearing. I do love it.❤
Oh wonderful! They are so different from anything else I have, I'm so glad you are enjoying it!
Beautiful Carla, I love Dooney and Bourke hand bagd❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Isn't it fun looking at all of their patterns?
Your husband is a very talented man Carla, the two closets are great! I like the pretty items you have, your Grandmothers buckle & Grandfathers watch is special, such a nice touch. The white curtains in your bedroom are so lovely, it looks very romantic. Just being nosy I seem to recognise the picture above the bed, may have seen it in one of your videos, is it Nantucket?… Thanks for sharing Carla, it all looks gorgeous.
Thank you so much Jean. Regarding the picture, it is not a specific place but I fell in love with it because it could be a Street in any of the New England Seaside Towns. It also reminded me of Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. Have a beautiful week Jean!
Hi Carla, your closet space came out so nice! Love all the spring blooms. We have something similar here called "My Sister's Place" nearby to donate to. All the proceeds go to helping battered women. I box up whatever needs to be donated and my husband it happy to bring it there for me. It keeps me motivated, because I really need to go through a lot more that I don't need anymore. Have a beautiful week! 💗
I love hearing about places like "My Sister's Place" and hopefully helping those in need in your/our Community. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Debbie!
Hi Carla your closet turned out beautiful mark did a great job we also have a second hand store I send stuff to not far from our towntheir was a fire in an a apartment low income four people who lived their lost every thing they closed the store down for one day the staff went in and the opened just for those people to shop and every thing they got was free so my donations go to this store
I LOVE that, thank you for sharing Pat.😊
Hi Carla. I loved the story about the thrift store 😊. Your closet turned out beautiful. Mark did a great job! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. 😊🕊️
Thank you Donna, you too!
Mark is so talented! He did a great job creating space by removing the wall. I like to suggest that if you have time, drop by The Container store, or look online. We found some great wall system organizers for my small closet. They actually opened up a lot of blank space and are easy to put together. I love the quality of D&B! I am still hunting a vintage one with the ducks blue canvas that came out I think in the 90's. Thank you and have a great week!
Thank you Gloria for that suggestion. I'm not convinced I am totally done with the Closet, as I am living with it I may tweak some things. Have a great evening!
I woukd love this closet!!!! Shelves and a built in... yes, please. My closet is long, so I have a lot of hanging space. But, it is not a walk in. You just slide the doors from left to right to access what you want. My dream is a walk in closet , no matter how small. Walking in just feels special. Your husband did a great job. And BTW , your filming of the bees and the buzz and those gorgeous flowers is stunning!
Thank you so much Liane. I do appreciate my walk-in.....I choose to call it cozy, not small. LOL. Have a great evening!
I agree!
Your closet is cozy and feminine. Love it! ❤
Thank you so much!
Great inspiration for spring cleaning my closet 😃 Thanks so much!
You are so welcome Betsy, thank you for watching!
Hi Carla, the rhododendron with the very busy bee at the beginning of your vlog looks beautiful. It is do nice to see Spring arriving 💐 Love your new closet space....I really need to sort mine out and you've inspired me. Have a great week x
I'm glad I supplied some inspiration, it feels so good once it is done. Happy sorting!
Hello. The closet makeover was a good idea, and it turned out very well. I have a question on your bedroom curtains. What is the material of them, and did you make them? I now live with my daughter and son-in-law, and the room I am in could use new curtains. I am still trying to decide. Their male feline lives in here with me, he is great company. He remembered me from years ago! Anyway, I thought about Priscillas, Cape Cod, tab curtains, etc. I like your curtains. If you do not mind, could you please inform me about them. Thank you, I would appreciate this.
Thank you Pamela! I have had my curtains for awhile and if I remember correctly I bought those from the Vermont Country Store. If you go to their website and search Swiss Dot Semi-Sheer Curtains they will come up. If these are not the exact curtains they are a perfect Twin. Amazon is another place you could look for something similar. I just love mine because I have always loved anything with polka dots and these remind me of that.☺️. Have a great Sunday Pamela.
Oh what is the name of that flowering bush w purple flowers in the opening? I'm new to New England and i see them everywhere and want some in my yard! Thank you!
That is a Rhododendron. We were lucky enough to have it here when we bought the house and love it! Have a great weekend!!
Hi Carla, could you link the small candles in the windows behind your bed. I think they ar battery powered.
I just added the Link in the description box😊
Where do you hang your slacks? I really need to tackle my closet too.
I haven't hung them yet, I only have a few pair. I keep my jeans triple folded in my dresser drawer which is quite deep.
I may have misread this, if you mean dress slacks, they are currently hung in my other closet....sorry.
