But they are worth every single öre, so incredibly beautiful and best quality ever.

I want proper shelves and plenty of space to hang stuff. We tore out all those wire shelves in the American closets and bought good shelves at IKEA in Atlanta.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597312913386722575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-30177949284486073332012-05-25T23:02:44.787-07:002012-05-25T23:02:44.787-07:00So true!!

When we've lived on the countryside in older houses they have great spaces och solid bars for hanging etc, somehow I belive that this has to do with people wearing thicker sweaters, furs etc back then.Mrs Clapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236586197064247734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-80257765957669849852012-05-25T05:40:24.683-07:002012-05-25T05:40:24.683-07:00Oh, I can so relate.

You've definite...Thanks for the idea! haha :D <br /><br />You've definitely identified the major problems most people - in Sweden and beyond - experience with poorly designed closets: under-utilized space, too-deep shelving and flimsy rods or baskets.<br /><br />Your DIY fix sounds very smart. You might want to consider some additional accessories to further organize your belongings, such as shelf dividers, hooks and a valet rod.<br /><br />Thanks again for the mention! I loved reading your analysis of the closet situation - if we ever expand into Europe, we'll be sure to consider Sweden ;)<br /><br />~ MelissaMelissa at California Closetshttp://www.californiaclosets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-60106542019637983652012-05-24T06:30:36.803-07:002012-05-24T06:30:36.803-07:00I'm on apartment number 6 at the moment - and ...I'm on apartment number 6 at the moment - and they range in age from 1960s apartments to 1990s apartments if that helps....Surviving Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144843041249993603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-39843443239443380542012-05-24T04:59:52.202-07:002012-05-24T04:59:52.202-07:00How many apartements would that be?
