Hello there. Welcome to my favorite room in the house... my closet! My sweet husband helped me turn one of our spare bedrooms into a giant closet this past summer. It's been the best treat ever! In this tour, I'll share all the details of my closet plus some fun storage solutions.
One of my goals, when designing my closet, was to store everything as visually as possible. I love being able to see all my clothing and accessories at a glance! It saves me so much time when styling outfits and pulling items for photo shoots.
I use this wall to hang favorite dresses and upcoming outfits. This dress is my favorite piece that I designed for Red Velvet this past year. I wore it at my rehearsal dinner and I love having it hanging in my space.
One of my favorite collections is vintage luggage, especially the floral kind! I stack it under my coat and dress racks. I love seeing vintage pieces stacked and organized.
I found this pretty vintage swim cap on our honeymoon in Austin. I love it so much and I just found a second one. Photo shoot next summer? Yes, please.
I have a small wall of art in my closet, it's mostly vintage pieces and some pretty Ashley G. prints (I'd rather be thrifting is my favorite!). I also have my "Mrs" banner from Nice on Etsy. It was hanging on my seat at our wedding.
I wanted a fun way to display jewelry, but I didn't want to build something complicated. I opted for simple wooden push pin and paint swatches for a sunny necklace display on one wall. It's temporary so it will be easy to switch up when the mood strikes.
I think that shoes are so beautiful. They're one of my favorite clothing pieces to collect. Instead of hiding them away in my closet, I like to display them all over the room!
My favorite wall in my closet is this little shoe display. My dad helped me hang them and they make me happy every single day! I love decorating with wearable things. Thanks so much for taking a peek at my closet! Cleaning it (and trying on clothes for hours and hours) is one of my favorite weekend and late night hobbies. I'm pretty in love with this little space. xo. elsie

Adorable!
How do you rid your vintage finds of that vintage smell?

That is very pretty! Thank you for sharing. I have done the similar thing but most of the time I feel so jumbled running back and forth from the bedroom to the dressing room. Do you have that problem?
