Dressing Room Plans - Again!

Yes, that's right. I haven't done anything with my dressing room yet. It is currently still filled with boxes (gasp!) and a disaster of clothes and makeup. Sigh.

So after giving myself a shake, I've made some (sort of) final decisions.

One of the things I'm used to doing is living temporary. You know how it is - you rent with a view to owning one day and never want to buy anything that is expensive because it might not fit your mythical first house. Or you don't want to do any renovations/work because you can't take it with you.

Then you buy this mythical first house. Yes! Time to start doing all of the things you never could do while renting.

Of course once you have this house, you start thinking about the future. What about resale? Babies? Will someone else like what we've done?

Then you end up living temporarily again. Living in a way that you can easily pick up and leave, right?

Well - I've decided to stop! I looked at my dressing room and decided that I actually wanted a proper-ish one. I'm going to make one whole wall like a true closet to hold all of my clothes!!!! I can just imagine walking in - it will be like a big walk in closet!!

However, in true non-committal fashion, I've decided to go with Ikea's "Stolmen" line of closet stuff. It is neat because it is based off of extendable poles that use tension (and very few screws) to go from floor to ceiling and then you put in the cross bars/shelving etc.

Here is an idea of what I'm going to do:

I'm so pumped about it! Sure - it isn't cheap with all of those types of options and add ons, but it will let me have a dream room AND I can take it with me if we ever move!!! Although I bet the next buyers might want to keep it ;-)

Here is my paint version of the layout (don't laugh!):

Any input on the layout?

As far as colour goes - I still think I'd like to have wallpaper on a wall eventually, but I think I'm going to hold out for now because I can't find one that I like that isn't 150 a roll!!

Any colour suggestions? What about (gasp) all white? Like white white?  Or am I still good with lavender (haven't found a good version yet).

The one wrench in this plan is the chair. My parents were really nice and bought me a chair for Christmas from Bombay that is a beige neutral fabric. Is that a problem?

I know I'm all over the place - just looking for suggestions!!!
