A Room with a View...but Little Else

Sunday I went house, or I should say condo, hunting. I found some really great spaces. Some of them were holes, some of them seemed like warehouses. I noticed a trend with them all, though. There wasn't any closet space. I don't consider myself to have a TON of stuff...

Sunday I went house, or I should say condo, hunting. I found some really great spaces. Some of them were holes, some of them seemed like warehouses. I noticed a trend with them all, though. There wasn't any closet space. I don't consider myself to have a TON of stuff, but when it comes to closet space, I really need at least 1 walk-in!

My favorite by far was located right off West End. The view was gorgeous, and the amenities in the complex were so nice I would probably never even use half of them. Hardwoods, granite, huge garden tub...it was adding up to be the one. Until someone pointed out that my clothes hamper wouldn't fit into the bedroom closet, and if that's the case then my hanging items didn't stand a chance!

In every case, if you get one thing, you have to take away somewhere else. If I want the space, I'm going to have to sacrifice the pretty little add-ons that I hold so dear. Can I give up a tub for a closet? I'm actually not sure about that; I love my bubble baths! Maybe I could store my shoes in the tub when it wasn't in use. Could be an option, at least for the short-term!
