The first thing I noticed, after I walked in and fell in love with our 1906 bungalow, was that there was no coat closet.
Relocating from NYC, we had A LOT of coats - short coats, long coats, puffy coats, you name it, we have them. With a never-ending list of projects in our new home, the coat closet was not the first priority. So, for the first 6 months we used a clothing rack right inside the front door, calling it (jokingly) our "exposed coat closet" - but it was a messy eyesore.
When it was time for the coat closet project, the first thing we did was sketch out a design including space for all shape and size coats as well as some shelving for miscellaneous items. After many, many trips to Home Depot, and a full weekend of work, we could not be happier or more proud of the finished product. As is the goal with any DIY project, it looks like it has always been there.
