So … Bedroom and closet … 

​

Here is a short story of how I approached designing my own home in Philadelphia: a narrow 12 feet wide row house. I call it "vertical living”, not easy to fit all trends and grandiose ideas.

​

The thought of an ironing board either permanently open in my bedroom, or constantly being taken out and put back into a closet, was simply not me!

​

So, my solution? My main closet is in my basement, where I also have my laundry room. There, I have my ironing board, steamer, all my clothes and shoes. My routine is seamless: after I shower, I walk downstairs. I collect the day's worn clothes, select my next outfit, get dressed, and begin my day.
