If it does start to feel too full then I know it's time to sort out a few clothes to go off to my favourite charity shop in town.<br />Maybe if we extend the house I can have a walk in wardrobe - that would be heavenly, although I'd have an excuse to hold on to a lot more clothes!HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-29923044600317540582016-10-24T10:52:42.331+02:002016-10-24T10:52:42.331+02:00Thanks Melanie.

Wow! Your wardrobe in both senses of the word, furniture and contents, is amazing. Really, just wow! In fact seeing posts like this has made me go out and buy some under the bed storage boxes and do a summer/winter clothes swap for the first time ever. The only problem is that most of my clothes are summer so suddenly my wardrobe is empty and I've gone all shop-happy! Uh-oh! Is it alright to blame you for my spending spree?! :) Xxxfrecklefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881334320685123475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-70858408274424808302016-10-21T21:18:03.230+02:002016-10-21T21:18:03.230+02:00I would love a wardrobe like that if only I had th...I would love a wardrobe like that if only I had the room but alas not possible in a poky 70's house.

I was stroking a 1930s veneered Deco double wardrobe this morning priced at £35.
