Default Closets and shelves?

Hi everyone,

Looking at realtor.com and other online pics, but can't get the info I'm looking for....

Are the interior of the closets in TV the same height as the room they are in? So if you have a bedroom with a 12-foot ceiling, is the closet also 12 feet high?

And it's possible to add another row of shelves in a closet, correct? No approval needed?

Thanks!

In our house, a gardenia with 2 closets off the master bedroom, the ceilings follow the roof line of the master bedroom. I added an additional row for shelving that you need a short step stool to get to. As for the guest bedroom closet it also follows the bedroom ceiling, however this closet is narrow, so an additional shelf may not be useful as getting stuff on and off the shelves many be difficult.

No approval needed.

You left them in without a warrant?

If you want a custom closet setup with racks for clothes/shoes/cubbie holes for baskets/multiple tier hangars/shelving, call closet crafters, we utilize the space from floor to ceiling on almost every wall in our master closet. All custom design for your needs/wants for your space. 1/3 the price compared to somebody like California closets.

We are in a Lantana and the closets are same as the rooms or hall. In the walk-in closet in our bedroom, we added two levels of shelves for storage (need small step ladder). In other wall closets that can’t walk in, also added shelves, but access is limited.

I have two wire shoe shelves that surround both closets in our gardenia master bedroom which gives us three levels for shoes. I too must be closely related to Ms Marcos or at least my husband has mentioned it once or twice.

Why do they put so many closets in the houses? How many T-shirts and khaki shorts do you need?

Our home with 10 foot ceilings has three wire shelves above the full length hanging in the walk-in guest closet. That’s the only closet that hasn’t been customized so I believe that’s how the developer built it. We do use the top two for Christmas decorations. Even my master closets will be much less festive once Christmas decorating commences.

You are the first person I’ve ever heard in the Villages that feels there is too much storage. I’m impressed on your downsizing abilities. Have you considered lifestyle consulting.

I'll have you know I also have black, blue and grey shorts. Even a red pair w/embroidered lobsters! Sometimes a girl like to look pretty!
