Cockrell Closet All right, so I kinda cheated this time. I do have some photos of other cribs, but I decided to showcase my closet. Yes, you heard right. Here's a little background: When I moved
into Cockrell in August 2002, I quickly realized that closet space was
a luxury in this 70 year old house. My bedroom is supposedly the "master
bedroom" but it has a closet that is the same size as the one Pam
uses to store towels in back in Flower Mound. I made do with it, though. In the summer of 2003, after buying a lot of new clothes, I decided my closet needed a renovation. In June and July, I bought a lot of clothes - mostly from secondhand sources. At one location, I left with 7 shirts for $5. That adds up to a lot of closet space. My dad Hans is quite a handyman. He's built a desk, a patio, and a "computer lab" at our house in Flower Mound. I helped him with these projects and figured I could do the same, but decided to start with an easier project. First of all, the door stayed the same. I hang my belts, hats, and ties from it, as the picture indicates. There are some good items in there, like the Big D Tire Store hat from Thad. I tore out the old clothes rack and installed two new ones, to give me a double-decker closet. I lost some storage space up top, but gained a lot of hanging clothes space. I also painted the closet interior and fixed the floor too (there was a loose board).
Here's the finished result:
So that's Cockrell Closet. There's a lot of good stuff in there, and a lot of great thrift-store finds - nearly 6 years' worth of shopping at establishments like Thrift World, Thrift Town, and Bargain Depot. Maybe next week, I'll feature John Anderson's closet, if he would ever come out of it. Hahaha...

I
also color-coded my clothes for emergencies, like waking up too late for
class and needing the right shirt in time.
