Facing reality

During the initial design and construction phase, Cynthia and I had convinced ourselves that we would not need a formal closet in our bedroom, that we would use an armoire or something else. Unfortunately, as the project draws closer to it's completion, the need for a closet has become obvious. We asked our contractor to add one during the first week of April, after the floors had been done. He agreed and it was constructed in just a day, leaving me much less anxious.
The new floors look great.


The closet will be large enough for our clothes and some storage and will close with two swinging doors. We considered sliders and even a nice set of bi-fold doors I found online, but in the end aesthetics won out.


Old lath and plaster visible in the new closet.



The new closet requires a small amount of the bedroom that will become the baby's. We will add a small built-in to this entry area to make the closet appear more functional.
