Peeks around the Home- Closet Room

I am pleased to bring you another 

Peek Around the Home post today,

this time it is my CLOSET ROOM.

I am excited to share little peeks of my home, bit by bit, until eventually I have a whole home tour up.

I would LOVE to see some of your home decor too!

It's no secret that I LOVE clothes.

Figure flattering dresses, soft leggings and comfy t's, cute cardigans, patterned tights, pretty boots, sexy heels, cozy scarves, chunky rings, hoop earrings, and delicate necklaces.

I'll take them all! :)

I used to think I had it good, with a walk in closet.

Now I get my own CLOSET ROOM.

Thanks you Universe!

Here is a peek at my own little space, and some of my organization and decoration in it so far.

The actual closet in this room was quite tiny,

as most closets in older homes are.

That being said, I am a SUCKER for the charm of a beautiful old home.

So- that just means I have to get creative with ways to store and display my clothing collections.

This means dresses on racks, with baskets under for patterned tights, vintage scarves, belts and knit hats and gloves.

There is a bit of imperfection to this area, and that is okay with me.

I think it adds charm.

Speaking of charm,

check out this corner.

This space serves many purposes-

shoes are organized in stackable shelves,

some of my favorite plaid and polka dot shirts are displayed above the window,

and a shelf in the corner offers more room for my things.

I have SO many meaningful things on this shelf, and love this extra bit of space to display them.

On the shelf I have my Wilco pictures and concert ticket stubs,

a sock monkey hat that my parents brought me back from their trip to New Orleans,

an Instax camera and some film,

 a framed picture of my stylish grandmother on her honeymoon,

bottles of perfume,

a jewelry box my parents had personalized for my high school graduation,

a thrifted vintage tray full of bracelets.

This is my one of my favorite spots in the whole home-

a dresser that holds underwear, knee socks, and band t's,

doubles as a place to display family photos and accessories.

Here I have a bowl of bracelets, a plate of hair clips, two ring organizers, a heart shaped container of hoop earrings. and a vintage dish full of thrifted pins.

Here are more of my shoes,

and my scarves and head bands are hung up and organized as well.

I am SUCH a scarf person.

This picture is a bit deceptive, as you cannot tell just how many scarves are stacked on each hook.

Hey, I wear one almost every day, and a girl has got to have options right? ;)

[Justifications I tell myself haha]

I tell my boyfriend that I don't feel like a hoarder as long as everything is NEATLY organized.

I don't smoke or do drugs or have any other expensive vices-

clothing, shoes, accessories, and nail polish are it for me!

I LOVE this old vanity.

I picked it up at a yard sale, for a very cheap price.

I store make up in the drawers, and have a scented candle on top, as well as a framed picture of my mother, my best friend.

I have a tree jewelry holder that my brother and sister-in-law gave me as a present, with necklaces hung on it. I also have a vintage veil displayed, and some hair pieces on top.

I used to sit at this vanity and do my make up in my old apartment, where I did not have much storage room in my bathroom.

I'd highly suggest giving yourself a cute space to do your hair and and make up, and sip coffee or tea.

It makes getting ready much more of a "fun event!"

*I also just ordered a nail polish rack, to have a cute way to display my OPI and ESSIE collection.

I can't wait to add that touch, to bring even more organization and function to this great space.

UPDATE:

* I LOVE organization where items are out and displayed, without looking too cluttered.

I like seeing what I have, and am more likely to use things if I can take a look at them and build outfits in my mind as I am getting ready each day.

*My personal interior design style is still evolving, but each season I really do feel it gets more developed.
I know that I love mixing vintage treasures with modern day items.
I LOVE sentimental things, and get a good feeling each time I walk into a room of my home and am greeted by pictures and items that mean a lot to me.


~*~*~*~*~*

I will be back with MUCH more later!
LOTS of great things in the works, including:
*A healthy eating post
*Positive Life reading material suggestions
*AND a vlog! It's been so long since I have done one of those, I am pretty excited.

Have a great Wednes-middle of the week-day!
