Wardrobe Tour and How I Store My Handbag Collection

No outfit for today's post! Instead I'm sharing something that's frequently requested, what my walk in wardrobe looks like, and how I store all my bags!

This will be a short post as it's mostly a video that you can see here:




Having a walk in wardrobe was a dream nice-to-have for our new house, and while I was annoyed that the company our builder used to make the wardrobes refused to work with me on a custom one, I did have a lot of fun planning out my own without their help!

To keep things simple I went with Ikea pieces - the Pax and Brimnes wardrobes. Although I manged to both: create the room wrong on the Ikea tool so that none of the pieces I wanted would fit; and then create the room correctly, and still pick the wrong sized pieces. Thankfully both things noticed before purchasing the pieces but sadly in the second case not noticed until after mum and I had loaded up the trolley with about 40% of the incorrectly sized wardrobe in the warehouse section of the store...

With my uncle kindly installing the wardrobes though once I bought the right pieces it was smooth sailing from there, and I had a lot of fun putting everything in its place once the wardrobes were up! When we turned the spare room in our old townhouse into a nursery I had to split all my things across multiple wardrobes and storage boxes, and put all my bags in boxes under our bed, so having all my clothes and accessories for all seasons in one room is so exciting for me! Definitely one of my favourite rooms in our new house.


This room has a place for everything and it's so easy to keep it tidy and organised, I've even used this room to film a few more videos for my Youtube channel too. I'd like to make a few changes to it, like a plant or something colourful to fill that space, and simplify how I store my necklaces a little. It would be good to do another wardrobe inventory too now I can see everything at a glance.

Of course I love that I can just open up the wardrobe and see all my beautiful bags in one place - handbag lover heaven!

(My bag collection has expanded a little since this video was filmed too 🙊)




Note: I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home and so isolate at home with my family and my admittedly large handbag collection.
