Is your attic wasted space, or strategic storage?

Have you ever dreamed of turning an entire room into a walk-in
closet or dressing room? Then you really need to read this story!

For more than four years, Elizabeth Snyder pondered what to do with the large finished room that sat next to (and was only accessible from) her master bedroom. Situated directly over her two-car garage, this "attic" room offered a generous amount of floor space. But, it was limited by the dramatic angles and pitches of the home's roof line. "My husband didn't want his office right off the bedroom, and how many sitting rooms can you have in one house?" she says.

Then Snyder thought of another idea — turn the space into an over-sized closet. The result is
what her husband now calls the "Princess Room." Snyder herself refers to it as the nicest and her most favorite room in the house. When she decided to convert the room into a dressing room, Snyder interviewed a number of different companies. She finally choose to work with design
consultant Janet Stevenson of Closet City, now located in Harleysville, PA.

"When Janet came out and walked through the room, I felt comfortable with her immediately," says Snyder. "She could relate to what I needed to do, and the challenges of the room didn't overwhelm her. Right from the start, I knew I would end up with a good product."

Project challenges
The "challenges" Snyder mentions were quite real, according to Stevenson, a 20-year veteran of
the closet design industry. Because the room was located above the garage and directly beneath the roof line, its walls were unusually short in spots. "We had to accommodate those irregular wall heights as well as windows that divided sections of the room," says Stevenson.
