Hi Hollie. Nicely done re the clothes rail. I wonder if – because you can both see the amount of hanger real estate available, it’s easier to see no one’s being ripped off with where they can put their stuff. Christina’s very fair when it comes to sharing the wardrobe; especially because I’m a bit of a clothes hoarder. I find it so hard to throw away clothes I don’t wear anymore. Maybe it’s time to get rid of some of those old business shirts I haven’t worn for ages!
Cheers – Jim

Me and the husband just moved into a new place that shock horror had no wardrobes in… I bought a £14 clothes rack from Ikea after having an indecision attack in their wardrobe section when we hadn’t measured our space.. but it’s quite adorable. We don’t argue about space now we share, we just put our clothes on it and slide them around til it’s a good balance so it doesn’t topple. He usually has more than me and he has a set of drawers aswell.. but I can’t help throwing my things away now they are visibly not being worn. It’s odd because in our old place even though they were fitted they were joined inside and he would go mental if one thing migrated over. Sharing is caring I guess.

In reply to Mr Romance. I think my husband was thinking 9 1/2 weeks ;). A little crest fallen to discover its true purpose.

In reply to Emma.

That sounds like a pretty good deal, Emma – especially as it looks like both of you have found wardrobe nirvana! I congratulate you! Yes, the chairobe still worries me a bit. I understand it works well by keeping half-worn clothes off the floor but when I first saw that chair in our bedroom, I thought there was going to be some kind of True Lies scene about to happen or something!
Cheers

Yes I too am a robe hog! When we were building our house I had one of those wardrobe fit out companies come in and .”do” the robe. The outcome was that in our 4 door floor to ceiling robe my husbands clothes could happily be accommodated behind just one door, freeing up the other 3 for yours truly 🙂 plus extra storage at the top for the seasonal clothes rotation). Despite the space I’m still a fan of the chair robe ( my husband was initially perplexed at my introduction of the chair into the bedroom) and the hat stand for storing those not quite clean not quite dirty items that could have another wear before washing or waiting to be taken to the dry cleaners.

Well, he’ll need somewhere to put all his slippers, brown work shoes and gumboots, Sonia!
That sounds like you’re about to get a pretty sweet set-up! Enjoy – quite jealous!

My husband is a bit of an angel in this (rare) instance. He’s building our walk-in-wardrobe and what he has completed so far (shelving and double hanging rails) has been shared 50/50. BUT! He’ll be building me shoe storage soon and you just know there won’t be any black men’s leather work shoes or Onitsuka Tigers/Nike Air Max sneakers making an appearance!
