Creating a master closet/dressing room!

I am so excited to embark on a project that has been long in the making – the transformation of the sitting room off our bedroom into a master closet/dressing room! We have a large but very awkward and inefficient closet in our bedroom currently. The sitting room, on the other hand, is a sunny room with a large window and interesting gabled ceiling. We’ve just always been at a loss for what to do with it. There was some talk of using it as a nursery which we ultimately decided against. We’ve debated adding a few comfortable club chairs, a tv, coffee table, etc and actually turning into a “sitting room” but honestly…how many rooms do I need outfitted for TV watching or sitting in this house?

I finally convinced Mr. H+F to let me turn it into a dressing room with the following reasoning – our neighborhood is comprised of dozens of fairly similar homes. In a market of “same-ness”, anything we can do to differentiate our house will only make it easier to sell when the time comes. Let’s all just be honest and admit that women make the decision about what house to buy. And a house with a outfitted with an organized and beautiful dressing room is bound to standout (at least it would for me!)

Here is the current view into the room from our bedroom. I can’t believe I’m sharing this with you people, how utterly embarrassing!

Right wall:

I can’t block them entirely as they actually provide access to a good bit of storage over our garage. Must be worked into the overall design plan.

So there you have my (fairly) blank canvas of a room to work with. The wall color is definitely getting changed. It’s currently Nomadic Desert from Sherwin Williams which I am totally over. I am agonizing over what color to go with next…might be crowdsourcing some help from you guys on that later this week!

Come back tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some of the images I’ve been collecting as inspiration for this project!
