First: The Dilemma
My 10 year-old has no closet in her room. It's "technically" a den.
Second: The Solution
I debated this solution from Young House Love. Which is to add a couple of small wardrobes to the sides of the bed. They used IKEA wardrobes and spent over $400. YIKES!
So I was looking on Craigslist and found this antique wardrobe for $200, non-negotiable. Oh, that is a lot of money.
It measures about 7' x 4 1/2' |
What do you think? Am I a sucker? Did staring at cheap-o Ikea furniture for too long thwart my judgement?
I'm thinking (being that it is solid wood) of staining it a lovely dark brown. And maybe some cute fabric to cover the door? Share your thoughts and ideas with me!

I love it! I dont think you paid too much considering the piece's history. I would get a piece of plywood, bat it, cover it with fabric, and put cute little push pins on it for pinning whatever her heart desires!
$200's a lot! but if it holds ALL her clothes then it's worth it.
paint it a FUN color!! yes to the fabric for sure..or a cute chicken wire so she can hang her accessories like earrings on=more storage.

Wow, congrats and best of luck on a new blog. So exciting! I love Kelli's idea to put chicken wire over the hole to hang accessories. That would be really cool.
I love it! I would totally get it if I needed it, had the space, and had the money.
