he said, she said

sheesh, mike has been talking about getting a “closet system” ever since we bought our house. i am not a fan. i enjoy the current spaciousness of our closet. we have 1/2 height rods so that shorter items (like shirts) can be hung without wasting the space below it. but we also have rods on which long items (slacks, dresses, my wetsuit) can be hung. on the high shelves, i stack sweaters and jeans, but i also use some of the space for storage of less-frequently used items. in addition to all of this closet space, we have a full vanity dresser and two nightstands in our master bedroom. (i won’t even get into the 4 additional closets and multiple other dressers in our house.)

i don’t like the limitations that a closet system puts on you. you have to fit everything into these neat little spaces that are always just a couple of inches too small in every direction.

and now we have THREE closet systems?

but hey, if i had known that a closet system would encourage the folding of clothes, i would have bought one a long time ago. hell, i willl happily get a new one every week.

*trapped in the closet* -r. kelly (this “hip-hopera” is so ridiculously bad that you have to watch it)

i spent a good part of the lunch hour folding clothes.

yeah.  i know.  what a way to spend my lunch hour, right?  i also managed to finish one load of laundry and start another.  i just need to remember to put the clothes in the dryer when i get home.

the big push to get all of the laundry done is because i just got our closet system in the mail today.  i’m borrowing a stud finder from greg and soon i will be adding new shelves and rods to our closet.  if all goes well, we should have a much more functional closet and store a whole lot more clothes in there.

i’ve always felt that there’s been a lot of wasted space in the closet and i want to see what i can do about cleaning it up a little.

i bought three closet systems, i’m not sure if i am going to use all three in the master bedroom closet or not.  my original thinking was to use all three, but i guess i need to figure out just how i want to arrange the closet.  i’m actually pretty excited to get this all set up.
