Railroad Apartment | More Like Random Apartment
This apartment seriously gives a new meaning to staying on the straight and narrow. It was built as an after thought - after completing the building, the owner realized he had 10 feet of property rights - so he naturally built the most random apartment. Exhibit A:
CLOSET
The biggest challenge was utilizing the space. There wasn't an over abundance of clothes, just an insane amount of hanging space and really high shelves. Overall, this couple are a couple of A+ students. They picked up on my #doublehanger method and have studied the KonMari method in the past - which they taught me some of, which I can't fully agree with, sorry not sorry!
SO to use the space in a pretty and practical way, we created a "mud room" with shoes, jackets, umbrellas, etc., created a space for linens, and showcases throughout that were both practical and sentimental for the client.

DRESSERS
Challenge 1: There was product everywhere. Solution: Simple. A cabinet.
Challenge 2: He was pretty convinced he had to re-fold his shirts when they came back from Fluff and Fold, thinking if he didn't refold to smaller widths *cough* KonMari *cough*, he would "lose" a row in his drawer. FF to keeping the Fluff and Fold folds, he now has plenty of space in his drawers.

Oh and one more win - we straightened the elastic folding inside of his sweatpants waistband! →
WHEN TWO BECOME ONE
As in the dressers are inside the closet...and well, the office too. And now you can see what I'm talking about, hopefully.
