It’s time for Part 3 of this Easy Upgrades series (catch up on Part One and Part Two) and this time we’re digging into closet functionality a bit more. I’ve had all sorts of different closet configurations over the years. From plastic drawers in a 6×10 dorm room, to a teensy tiny walk-in, to a built in bank of PAX wardrobes, to a closet split between rooms, which is my current situation.
