When it comes to closets, should women get the lioness’ share?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Before I purchased my home, I lived in a fantasy that I could afford a three-bedroom abode, which I would convert into a two-bedroom, one giant dressing room home. All four walls in this space would be lined with sleek, sexy bright-white built-ins, with glass doors for my dresses. A black crystal chandelier would hang from the ceiling, and in the middle, I’d place two gray velvet (with hot pink piping) slipper chairs.
Fast-forward to reality, I have two small, yet walk-in-able closets off my master bedroom. In one, I keep pants, shirts, skirts and shoes. In the other, I keep coats, dresses, bags and, well, more shoes. In this not yet crowded space, where is a potential future hubby to hang his hat?
Allow me to submit my belief that a glamorous closet is the holy grail for many women (and a few guys, too.) The “Sex in the City” movie confirmed my belief when Carrie opened the doors to her new closet and the theatre erupted in a synchronized gasp. One glimpse of the sparkling white marble floors and endless hang-up space and sky-high shoe racks and we knew: heaven exists, no wire hangers are allowed.
But then I thought — wonder how much space belongs to Big?
For those of you who share closet space, what was your biggest challenge and how have you solved it? Should the person with the larger wardrobe have more room, or when it comes to closet space, is it separate, but equal?
