Closet Karma

Closet Karma. It's for real and will bite you in the butt.

You can write the right to more closet space into your wedding vows.


You can declare that she who manages the house design shall get the bigger closet.


You can wait until the framing stage--when an extra 10 square feet is less noticeable-- to casually point out the closet assignments.

Yes, you can do everything imaginable to get your greedy little paws on more precious, precious closet space but in the end the universe will find its own equilibrium. Nature abhors a vacuum. Witness the current state of my closet:

Jeff installing the steam shower generator in the only room that has "extra space" for it.
Behind Cisco is another surprise installation...the panel for the radiant floor valves. 
Cue the wah-wah pedal.

  1. Maybe with a little editing this can be your new "bench" or "lounge seat" in the closet!

    1. Good thinking, Elaine! I suspect that the bench will quickly be covered with everything I toss on it.

    1. Good thinking, James! Thanks for the tip, not sure there's room in my closet, but maybe someone else's...

    1. That was actually Thomas's smarty pants response when I asked him to explain what was happening with my closet.
