Or, maybe that's a closet and I just can't tell from the angle of the photo?? But it looks like living space to me. Closets make me happy. I feel like she would rock a fabulous walk-in a la Carrie Bradshaw in SITC the film.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217948152486483280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21062417890098050002009-08-21T20:44:58.655-04:002009-08-21T20:44:58.655-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.GlobeTrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393978503797071999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-74357074935472526512009-08-21T16:00:49.342-04:002009-08-21T16:00:49.342-04:00Thanks for posting this Raina and Alexis!

I keep all my shoes in original boxes with a photo so I can see everything at a glance and they stay dust-free. They are stacked on shelves similar to the back room of a shoe store. I too have a full room for a closet, although mine has custom built-ins like the shoe shelves as well as accessory shelves, hooks, drawers and hanging rods in enclosed cubbies. Not quite like the recent Heineken commercial, but close. They spent two years renovating the home, they chould have created a much nicer closet space.<br /><br />I think the archway between the master suite and the ensuite is a bad idea. If people have different schedules then it can get pretty annoying when one tries to sleep and the other is showering, etc and you cannot close the door to reduce the sound. The black walls are not something I would ever do either. It looks harsh and gloomy at the same time. Love the ceiling modling in the dining room - gorgeous!ShuLvrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321544374197981014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-78926216501981663012009-08-21T09:20:44.842-04:002009-08-21T09:20:44.842-04:00It's very interesting to see people's home...It's very interesting to see people's homes and if their interior has a similar style. Most of us live a slightly different life than Jenna; but we can still gain insight or even inspiration from articles like these.<br /><br />Like Genny I prefer clean surfaces to be clean and not stained. I wonder if they have more personal spaces not shown in the magazine. Spots that they can totally kick back in, or are they all 'show off' ones.jcrew guy in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087438754180803097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-30888104006327417952009-08-21T09:03:17.607-04:002009-08-21T09:03:17.607-04:00Love the closet & Kitchen! but antlers??? and ...Love the closet & Kitchen! but antlers??? and in more than one room no less- what is up with that?Twigahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192932860254323189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-34968719030083682032009-08-21T08:56:27.791-04:002009-08-21T08:56:27.791-04:00I have a spare bedroom that I use as my closet--it...I have a spare bedroom that I use as my closet--it is fun to have a room as a closet:)<br /><br />However, I don't care for red wine stains adding character to my house or "cleaning" the facets in the bathroom with sea water. This article illustrates to me that Jenna lives in a different world! Not a fan of horns/antlers all over my walls either!
