You are going to love this post today. I have the fabulous Meredith from
The Laundry Can Wait
as my guest. She is such a gorgeous and fun person, and you aren’t going to believe all the glam and creative detail she has put into her closet. I want a closet like this and I think you will too.
What’s the number one rule in decorating, in fashion and in playing up your looks?
Work with what you have.
{Or at least that’s what I say.}
After all, we all have something to work with.
And my closet makeover was no different. Shall we look inside?

Sequin-adorned stilettos serve as a provocative focal point, as well as a slight juxtaposition to Emily Post’s Etiquette guide.
The book about Audrey Hepburn – the ever-so-poised fashion icon – blends it all together.
This is before we got started.
And, like the closet itself, our budget was small.
We only purchased a shelving unit from Home Depot, as well as paint and hooks.
My goal was to create a seamless transition from the rest of our room, but with a playful touch.
{There are no windows on the headboard wall.} 😉
A golden backdrop was my choice of color yet again.
What can I say? #teamgold
The ornate urn was originally for decoration…
…until I discovered it was a great place for storing frilly boot socks and lacy cuffs.
My rule?
Don’t buy what’s popular.
Buy what you love, and it will be timeless. 🙂
{And I love tunics, bold prints and fun sleeves.}
Above, a soft, vintage cape awaits me.
I found this at the Goodwill about two years ago and fell MADLY in love with it’s understated elegance.
What a thrill to bring life back to a tossed-aside beauty such as this.
I moved my statement necklaces from my bathroom to the closet.
Organizing jewelry on the door serves three purposes:
1. It’s functional.
2. It lends beauty to the lackluster doors.
3. It adds efficiency to accessorizing my outfits. It’s all right there.
Hooks along the bottom shelf firmly hold my handbags – a feature I especially like.
My little closet is just that – little. But she’s all mine.
And that’s enough for this mama, whose life is full of messy moments in every room…but here.
Thank you, Marty, for allowing me to be a guest today!
It’s truly an honor!
XOXO,
Meredith Garrett from The Laundry Can Wait
