I need help with clothes closet ideas I've always kept all the munchkins' clothing on shelves and rods in my entryway closet. But with the addition of Dolly and the enormous wardrobe she arrived with, I need to find them their own little closet. :p Does anyone have ideas for an inexpensive, yet nice looking, setup that would work for this? I am not a very creative or artistic person, so please - nothing too hard! ;) Maybe something you've seen on Amazon or Ebay, or at your local dollar store? Thanks! :) Bonny |
Sounds like they could use their own little house! (JK):eek: Some folks have purchased armoires at 2nd hand stores and refinished them... armoire - Google Search |
Ive seen some cute wardrobes at Lowes that could be painted or stenciled. They are people sized not dog sized I dont like dog sized they dont have enough room in them for me. My mother in law took two of them and put a rod in them for hanging and then the rest of the space has functional shelves. She then put a white board over top of them and made like a unit for my daughters room and she put a makeup vaniety inbetween. It worked perfectly for her room. |
I got an Espresso ClosetMaid 2-Door Organizer from Target. I only put one shelf up and put an extendable shower rod at the top part of it. Works Perfect..... :) http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/182-8953072-7490562?asin=B001UTPW2Q&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B00 1UTPW2Q |

But, I don't know a thing about refinishing furniture....maybe I could find a nice one that doesn't need much done to it? |
Oh I wanted to tell you also little kid hangers work perfectly in this wardrobe also and they are the perfect size for dog clothes also |
Refinishing isnt hard at all it is alot of work but you can end up with a beautiful piece. I refinished our bathroom vanity and it took me a couple of weeks |

And you read my mind - my next question was going to be what hangers/where to find LOL. :) |

Love the extendable shower rod idea, too! :) So easy to install and I bet it does work well. I wouldn't have thought of that. |
Ive never looked for them online but at my lowes these were where the furniture pieces were. They are really a shelving unit with a door but you just dont put all the shelves in to make room for how ever many hanging rods you want |

And Target is right next door to Lowes so I can look at both places before I decide. Sweet! |

That would work, or one can just paint over it with regular latex house paint (for walls) ... maybe a light sanding first to rough up any slick spots (helps the paint to stick). Painting is easier than staining, less labor intensive, and you can get water based paints so clean up is easy. But if it's in good enough shape that you're satisfied with, doing nothing to it really sounds good... (that's called the 'Rustic' look!) Oh, Congratulations on your new baby! :D |
I'll have my dad do mine. He did my built in closet. Awesome with mirror doors. I need to take pics. =) |

Good point....it MIGHT be big enough for all of Dolly's stuff (I can't believe all the stuff that girl has). :rolleyes: |

Or, if you find and old piece to use, all you have to do is rough up the old finish with sandpaper (rub in same direction) and then still paint it. Would be very nice. Good luck in your search. :) |

ABSOLUTELY!! They are actually made to be stackable.... they have holes where if you buy two you can stack them together and even anchor them into the wall. |
Bonnie - Good Luck on yr project & have Fun! I found adorable baby hangers @Target through the yrs. They are different colors with monkey, zebra, panda, etc. on front in dollar section. You can see some of them in my for sale thread that I used for hanging. I was lucky in that I inherited my grandmothers wardrobe that has a large mirror on one side & drawers on the other. I actually used when my daughter was a baby & now is "Bella's".:p |

2 Attachment(s) I haven't been able to find exactly what I wanted....until this morning. I've been checking Craigslist and found this. What do you think? Will it work for what I'm wanting? It's just over 4' tall and about 3' wide, and I think she said it was 19" deep. All the shelves except the one the monitor is on are adjustable/removable. And she's asking a very reasonable price for it. Opinions, please. :) |
YAY! I think that will be perfect.:D Is it black? I actually like it black. I also like that it has different sections. New handles & paint, shelving, maybe baskets.....voila! This is funny because this weekend, I was on craigslist looking for a desk for my Mom. I saw so many computer & tv armoires & I thought of you. Lots of people selling them because of the new slim tvs/computer monitors. I was meaning to post on yr thread, but you were already there with the idea.:p |
