M wants my help in organizing and redecorating her room. M collects vintage shoes, has several animal tanks and is very visual. Her room, like many teenagers' rooms, is a mess! Storage is lacking, for sure. The first thing her mom asked me about was a new dresser. I opened the closet, and there is one garment hanging, a small old dresser stuck in there and no shelf space. There is another larger dresser in the room. Rather than another dresser, I suggest we redo the closet so M can see her clothes. The closet is typical of an older home, just under four feet wide, but with more shelf space, enough storage for at least ten pairs of shoes, and hanging for the few party dresses M has now and might have over the next few years, and room for a few laundry baskets on the floor, it will be a lot simpler for M to store her stuff.
Here's what I came up with.
The total cost including installation is less than half what we would need to spend on a quality dresser, and without moving parts and drawers that need to be closed, it is more likely that M will actually put her stuff IN the closet. M's existing dresser may be painted so she can store overflow in there, and her snake tank will rest on top. The closet will be a good first step in renovating this teen space.
