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.

mega entries for this one!
This would be perfect to get my kids some things they want for Christmas
I cannot imagine my home ever looking that clean and neat, as I do cat rescue and they are usually black cats so maybe not the best color choice for me.
I really love the closet. I love the open space
Thank you so much for a great giveaway!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy precious time with your families 💜
Love the photos and love the giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win!

What a great giveaway!
Just a few more days until Thanksgiving! So stressed and happy!
I love how you’ve organized your closet. Two things that are most important are a large kitchen and a large closet! I do the best I can to organize, but it’s hard with the space I thought I had. Your photos have given me ideas! Thanks!!!
Thank you for the amazing giveaway! It would really come in handy.
Happy Thanksgiving 11/21
This money would so come in handy right now, looking at a $800 bill for car repairs I was not expecting and my cat just died………so all in all not a good week here.
I am so happy that I have the next three days off work.
Have an amazing Thanksgiving!!
