It’s been a long week. At least on my end. I’m definitely ready to put my feet up and relax this weekend.

Walk-in Closet
Jul 19 2010So, I think I can put a rest to the main floor for the time being and move upstairs. We’re starting to sketch out some ideas for our walk-in closet. That sounds seriously surreal after living in places in New York that were anywhere from 350-1000 square feet. But, such are the benefits of building from scratch.
I actually prefer closets that are open, where you can see everything at once. But, given this is a separate space between the master bedroom and bathroom, it will probably make sense to put some doors on the cabinets.
Poliform does it right. They make the most ridiculously beautiful closets. I can’t help but wonder who lives in these spaces. I mean, really? Can I get a wardrobe to match, please?
I love the hardware and cabinetry on the Molteni&C closet shown below as well as the layout featured in the interior shot:

Front Hallway: Closet
Jul 13 2010As soon as you step out of our “vestibule”, we’re going to have a row of closets for coats, shoes, possibly kitchen items, etc…I don’t want to see a lot of clutter, so the inside of these shelves will have to be pretty practical. On the outside, I’m picturing floor to ceiling cabinets that are either push touch or have minimal hardware. The pictures shown below will give an idea of what I’m talking about.

Vestibule: Lighting
Jul 12 2010Our front door will be 10 feet tall. There’s a good chance it will swing too wide to allow for a pendant light in the entrance. But I’m hoping we can squeeze in one of these glass fixtures.
Below: Niche Modern Solitaire Pendant and Bell Jar Modern Pendant Light. Lovely!

Below: Source unknown – but it’s simple enough, I’d hope to be able to track one of these down.
