Ikea Elga Wardrobe with 3 Sliding Doors

I love this wardrobe from Ikea! The color and style just match the current bedroom furniture. If I'm really going to turn my walk-in closet into an office and open the entrance outside the bedroom, this big wardrobe would be a good idea to provide storage in the bedroom! It will be big enough for the wall in my bedroom (Size: 85 3/8" W X 22 7/8" D X 79 7/8" H) and provides a lot of storage space that I needed. And the price is good too! Such a big wardrobe only costs $450?! Did anyone buy this kind of Ikea wardrobe before? I wonder if it is sturdy.

But before I can make my 'closet home office' dream come true, I will have to figure out the possibility of blocking the entrance of the walk-in closet and opening another entrance outside the bedroom first.

Summer is here... Window AC?

It has been sooooooo hot in California these days! But my old house does not have central AC and I don't want to install one because it is so expensive :( . Last year we bought a portable AC and put it in our bedroom. However it is soooooooo noisy that we cannot sleep once we turn it on. Our bedroom has a sliding window and I would really like to install a window AC ( I used window AC before and it is a lot quieter!). I just don't know if it is easy to install and if it works for sliding windows.

Small Walk-In Closet Home Office- Is this workable?

I want to turn one of the small walk-in closet in the master bedroom into an home office. Currently I'm using the guest bedroom. Since I work from home and have some 'stuff', I don't really want my guests to see all that stuff lying around the guest bedroom when they come over. So I was thinking about using another space as my home office. I thought about using part of the garage + adjacent narrow closet (I asked on another forum but it doesn't seem to work). As my small duplex only has 2 bedrooms, now it seems that I have no other options other than using the small walk-in closet in the master bedroom. In the picture on the left you can see the small walk-in closet in the master bedroom. The other closed door is the entrance.





But then another question arrives, where do I put all those clothes in that walk-in closet? Yes there is still some space left in another sliding door closet in the master bedroom, but it surely is not enough. So I was thinking if I can change the entrance of the walk-in closet to the side facing the hallway (From the picture on the left, it is the hallway cabinet and behind it is the walk-in closet.). If so I will be able to put a large wardrobe on the wall where the original closet entrance was (the wall is where the first picture shows). I just wonder if this is possible...





I have found some pictures of a similar kind of home office closet below. Some look better than the others but they all seem practical. :)








































Look at all these closet home offices! Wow... I really want to have one for myself. And for the clothing storage.... The one in picture of the 'walk-in' closet below would be nice.












I don't know why... the pictures are not in the same place as preview :( . But please leave me a comment or suggestions if you got any ideas. Thank you for reading! :)

My First Blog...

This is my first time writing on a blog. I have no idea what I'm suppose to do. Anyways, I just like to have a "record" of all the beautiful things and ideas that I have from time to time. I'd also like to post the beautiful or interesting pictures I saw on other websites to share with others. Thank you for reading my first post!
