Out of My Old Closet
Living in this home for nearly a decade I have gone through several phases of dress:
From vintage Dandy, winklepicker/skinny jean Dandy, Bear Daddy Dandy and as of late, Prepster Dandy. Thing is, I've kept nearly all of it! (As you can see in this photo taken by Rose Callahan)
Needless to say my closet is bulging.
I called the fine people over at the Container Store just to see what the possibilities were and four hours later I had an Elfa unit being delivered to my house.
SUCKER!
Well, I did possibly get too excited and just go for it, but everyone who I mention Elfa too says they are great. I concur! Of course installation was never as easy as they say. Thank God there are videos on the website.
But tearing out the generic closet that was built in resulted in massive glue stains and nail holes on the wall.
What does any quick thinking closet case do to hide those rotten relics? Cover them with gift-wrap of course! I found the perfect Paul Smith like stripe in my collection et voila.
After realizing someone has nicked our drill (Rod you still haven't emailed back!) I borrowed one from a neighbor this morning after Easter services and got the job done.
I'm super happy with it and I can always move shelves and bars if I like. Much more room and of course a reason to clean out.
If you see a man strutting through Harlem in Plus Fours and a vintage silk scarf, you know where it came from.
