Size matters, part 1
When it comes to closet space, bigger is better. I have now finished the transformation of my bedroom, which formerly had only a single 2-door wardrobe, into a clean and organized dream thanks to my new wall of IKEA wardrobes:
Hidden behind these similar-looking doors are drawers, shelves, cupboards, hanging space, I could go on for days. I love my new UK “closets”. I think this is even better than anything I ever had in the US, never having had a “California closets” arrangement, not even when I owned a house. My last US apartment had plenty of closet space but it was never usefully partitioned like this!

OK, I didn’t scroll far enough. But one shot from outside the kitchen to get the perpective would be good.
Now to put in a full shower and a freezer with room for ice cream….
