Of course, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't open the doors to my closet for everyone so here goes...
Dark wash jeans, crisp white blouse, perfect little black dress, great black pumps and a black faille trench coat.
I have a Pucci shirt that the dry cleaners destroyed but I can't seem to part with it even though I can't wear it!
Describe your perfect outfit
Jil Sander cotton sateen black trousers, Jimmy Choo kitten heels and a Loro Piana feather light cashmere sweater.
Theres always room in my closet for-
More shoes!
My client has the most fantastic walk in closet that is currently being custom built. One cabinet will have separate drawers for rings, watches, bracelets and a pull out slide for necklaces. It's so clever!
Cashmere sweaters-I'm obsessed.
Steven Gambrel's Ikat lined closets and my client's new closet, so pretty I've suggested we have a little cocktail party inside to celebrate!
I'm being honest here--messy (how embarrassing!)--it starts out neat but then you know...
My latest addition to my closet is-
Milly sundress--I'm ready for summer!
Knee high boots-they're not a good look on me.
I have an extensive collection of-
Sandals--I can't resist adding to the collection every summer, especially if I travel to Spain or Italy where you must buy shoes!
Color code your closet.
It's great to have a nice long hallway with closets on both sides. My husband has one side (the shorter side!) and my side has a walk in area with shoe shelves. I also have a pretty raffia ottoman next to a mirrored wall so I can put my shoes on and see how everything looks.
When I designed the closet I put in lots of shelves but not enough drawers.
Right now your closet is in a state of-
Utter chaos. I just had the bedroom repainted and I have to purge and reorganize asap!
Thanks to everyone who participated--I just loved working on this series with you all!

Beautiful closet! Love the ottoman!
I am in love with the animal print shoes. Beautiful closets.
My latest house has a small, non-walkin-in closet, so I did some serious purging before the move. Right now my closet is kinda neat, for me, anyway!

What a fun series this has been, and I LOVED getting a peek into your closet, Barbara. Of course you have such chic and classic taste. Your Milly sundress is perfect for sunny summer days. (I still haven't organized my closet, maybe next week!) XO
I love the idea of the separate drawers for all the jewellery and those kitten heels are gorgeous!

Such beautiful inspiration. We are in the process of moving but the thing I am most excited about is getting my very own walk in closet in our new house! I will have to come back to this post to take a look. Also you might want to check your links to the Pretty pink tulips post and enchanted home post, both have an issue fyi. Thanks for the great inspiration.
Barbara,
Love all those shoes!!! I agree, I can never have enough!
I love how you have the doors that can close it all away. I love this look!!!
Thanks again for having me participate in your fun series.
Here's to a fabulous weekend --- hopefully in your Jimmy Choo kitten heels. :)
xoxo Elizabeth
Barbara,
I'm so sad to see this series go...it really was fun and often helpful. Consider reviving it somewhere down the road, okay?
Have a wonderful weekend.

So happy I was able to be included in this fabulous series. I love your style and your obession with featherweight cashmere sweaters, great sandals is something I can so relate to. Your closet is beautiful and your ideal outfit? Perfect!! Great post, have a terrific weekend Barbara.
i am late to the party but you saved the best for last so i got to sneek a peek at yours... we are building karens closets now and her master will be amazing... and the "his" for resale... he he... i think she just wanted a 2nd one... hope to see you this summer... what is your schedule???
I have shared the feeling of sadness at not being able to wear a treasured item of clothing anymore. Maybe you could turn it into a decorative pillow or a travel jewelry pouch to keep the memories in your life?
What a charming series. I always adore a peak into other's closets/dressing rooms.
Great tours of all the closets, and so inspiring. I would love to have any of these, what a luxury! I really must go to work on my space and improve! You've given me plenty of inspiration. Love how you organize. Great post.
