As I dropped off to sleep last night, an epiphany started that's continuing this AM. A closet epiphany of all things.

There's a double closet in our master BR here that, so far, we've divided into a L and R pair of tall, 36" apiece closets. It came with high rods on each side that I can't reach, and a low rod on the L side. Being short, I chose the L side. Both sides have easy-out shelves resting on 2x4's. There are many 2x4 supports at various heights, from previous owners' preferred closet configuration.

I've been assuming those 2x4's will be replaced with supports stealing less hanging space.

In another part of my brain I've been considering the best spot for an 18" wide x 15" deep x 55" tall metal cabinet. I thought about the guest room closet..... then, last night, dropped off thinking about putting it in Hardi's closet.

But DUH! Divide our closet horizontally, not vertically! I'll take both lower halves, and Hardi's can take the top halves!

A shelf on top of that cabinet (and a tension rod between cabinet and wall) will just suit me for accessories and hanging dresses. Hardi's an excellent framer to configure the top halves just like he wants them, but I bet he'll keep the sturdy shelf I put in last year.
