Closet of Your Dreams
In early 2017 my amazing husband, Tom, gave me an incredible gift of buying and putting together the closet of my own dreams! I’ve been dying to share this for such a long time, and I finally am sharing the wonderful closet that I’ve been absolutely loving using this year!
Guess what? It’s from IKEA, and you can make it as huge or as small as you like to truly create the closet you’ve always wanted. Or if you want to start smaller and continue growing it over time, that would probably work since it’s IKEA. It’s a Pax wardrobe!
Update (8/8/19): We sold this house and bought a different house. I will be doing individual blog posts on each part of the closet (handbags, shoes, vanity, clothing) using photos from both houses to help you put together the closet you really want. That way you can see how a closet like this works in two completely different spaces. The posts will each be up on ChristinaChitwood.com, but I will also add them to this blog post, so pin this post to refer back to. In the meantime, here’s a look at the finished product and what my DIY dream closet looks like!
Designing My Dream Closet
When I went about designing the closet I’ve always wanted, there were a few things that were really important to me:
- A handbag closet! Handbags are a favorite of mine. If you treat them well, you can keep them for many years. I especially enjoy using my handbags over and over and having them on display makes it so easy to switch my handbag out whenever I want to for a certain outfit.
- A shoe closet! A pretty way to store shoes from thigh-high boots to flats. I love being able to easily choose my shoes for the day, and it’s fun to be able to see my collection.
- A vanity! I’ve always loved makeup since I was very young. Having been a professional ice dancer, makeup became a part of my career way before I became a blogger. Having a beautiful place to store and apply my makeup is so special. I used acrylic makeup organizers in the drawers of my vanity between my handbag and shoe closets. The makeup organizers really help with keeping my makeup tidy, and it’s simple to find any makeup product I need.
- Clothing closets with a variety of heights to fit dresses of all lengths as well as the rest of my clothes! Having a DIY closet means I was able to decide exactly how much room I needed to hang long dresses/maxi dresses, regular tops, shorter tops, and everything in between. It meant being able to maximize on the storage space in every way.

Oh I wish I had space like this in my closet and was this organized this would be so nice.
What a gorgeous closet!
boy this bedroom and closet area would be perfect
Every girl needs a shoe closet!
I’d love a walk in with shelving I could actually reach, upper and lower hanging areas, shelves for folded garments and hooks for belts and such, The one in the pics is lovely but I would like mine behind a door with a seating area and drawers for panties and things
If only I had a closet like that. Mine is more of an afterthought from the home builders.
What a fabulous closet, I’d love to have one like that.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
i’m envious…i could live in a closet like that
Lovely clothes, but I don’t like them exposed.
I love the organization depicted in these photos.
Found the contest on christachitwood.com/diy-closet-dreams/
I think this is great.
I could reorganize my house with this
Beautiful room.
Oh I would love a closet like this! I need a nice, big, gorgeous closet for all of my shoes lol..
OMG I live in the smallest house, with only 2 closets. What I wouldn’t give to have this kind of storage space.
Love the ability to design the closet the way you want it. However, I’m not as neat as you so I would need doors!
Thanks for the chance to win.
what a great closet set up, would be so very great as I only have one closet and I need organization
Love the shoe storage could really use that :0)
These closets look better than the wire storage shelves I’m using now.
OMG… I want a closet.
I can only dream about having a closet like this. The bedroom is bigger than my whole downstairs where bedrooms and bathroom are. What a beautifully decorated bedroom space.
This would be perfect for my organizational habits!
That beautiful closet would make organizing so easy.
These closet pieces are genius! I have a small home with tiny closets–some of these ideas would be wonderful for expanding storage/closet space.
Thank you for the awesome giveaway.
Love the shoe closet!
Nice Giveaway, thanks!
What a great idea. I love the closets and how they are set up.
My dream is to have an organized closet…
Very elegant and organized.
Straight cash homey!
This is such an amazing bedroom that I could spend many hours in there just relaxing and enjoying the scenery.

Would love to organize my closet. This would be perfect for that.
These are beautiful pics, we have two closets…one is currently occupied by a mouse and the other is our pantry….I would love to set up a closet system like this!
Thank you to the host of this site for hosting this giveaway.
This is a great way to organize a space – don’t have that much room in my closet!
It would be awesome to win this to buy gifts for Christmas.
Would love this closet.
I love the huge plant in the room as it makes the room so inviting.

To have a closet that can hold and organize both my and my husband’s clothing g would be incredible. Hubs is a clothes horse. 😉

I would love this style of closet for my father in law who just moved in with us and is a clothes horse. He has more items of clothing than my husband and I combined.
