    Great job. Consider a second full length mirror and put it at a right angle to the current one (one on each wall if it will fit) that mirror corner will mean you’ll have a much better view of your outfit from multiple angles. Also consider a narrow clothing rail (House of Valentina has a gorgeous black one) so you can plan and hang your outfits.

    Nice job! But l did this in my old house and l used a nice long length of skirting board at the bottom. I don’t see the point of why you had MDF cut + trim then added and end up exactly same look as skirting boards. Would have saved yourselves a lot of time. But even so you still ended up with a lovely dressing room. Good job.

    put the wood trim round to leave it like that just my personal preference I love wood white and pink and that word was lovely. It looks like oak veneer I’m not sure oak/solid but no looks lovely, but just if I was having it I would’ve had everything the same but I would’ve kept the wood round it and not painted! Anyway, a really nice really jealous you would laugh if you saw my wardrobe I am 5 foot four and I can just fit in my wardrobe and that’s it so I would like one day to have a dream wardrobe or just a little bit more space anyway looks lovely I love your house take care love Suzanne😮👍🏼🫶

Once they lay their eggs, your clothes will all be ruined. Yes, know its a hassle, but the other alternative is new clothes and they love knitwear especially. A lot of work, I know, but you'll thank me in the Long run :-)

    Do you hire Andy out and does he travel via Leeds while sleeping lol? Remember not to call him because he's too fast asleep to hear the phone lol.
    Georgia's wardrobe. I am building my wardrobe and it is open like yours. Because like you I like to see what I've got and plan an outfit from there. And if it's open? You will get air circulating around your clothes as well. I have contacted a shop fitting supplier and I'm putting up on the walls shop fittings that shops use to hang and display their clothing up with. Mine will be industrial quality that will last me years.
    When you've got all your clothes hanging up. Don't they look all awesome and inspiring? But Andy has done a great job of your dressing room add I bet you're well happy with it?
    Alexx. You are one very lucky young lady add you gotta stunning clothes in your wardrobe as well. You have given me quite a few ideas and for that I thank you.
    But remember Alexx. You will have to move to Leeds. So Andy does not miss his stop on the train lol.
    Thank you for a brilliant video.
