{corner closet}





The built in closet that came with our loft is absolutely wonderful except that the closet rod was installed a lot lower than normal and my floor length dresses end up dragging on the ground.  This wasn't really a big deal up until recently when I bought 4 new long dresses for some of the wedding related events coming up.  I have seen people buy small rolling clothes racks to house or display extra clothing, but I didn't want to lose a ton of our floor space in an already small bedroom.  After some brainstorming while wandering around Home Depot, we decided to install a bar on a 45° angle in the corner of our room right outside the closet.  For about $30 in piping and 15 minutes of labor, I now have a bar that is high enough to keep my long dresses from getting damaged.

  13. Does this do much damage to the wall? I am leasing and am not sure if this would be allowed? Great idea though!

  17. We have a big new house with a big upstairs laundry room...so blessed!...but no easy spot for a little hanging rod to damp dry a few items. This is a perfect solution, and very do-able!

    1. as you can see there are hangers hanging on this bar and there is plenty of room for them between the bar and the wall so long as you cut the pipe 18 inches long you should be good for at least 10 or 12 hangers!

      Hope that helps!
