My first thought, before I read Maxwell's suggestions, was to get rid of it and have a custom built-in created. Just look at how much space is wasted near the ceiling that you could use for off season storage.

This is exactly how I would love my apartment to look! It's sophisticated yet cozy. I LOVE it! Maybe, I should have Ron come over and redecorate my apartment before he gets too famous and expensive. I love the stripes in the hallway suggestion from Catherine. That could be kind of fun since there isn't too much pattern in the apartment. Keep up the good work Ron!!!

I really enjoyed the last issue of Blueprint so I'll have to look for the May/June issue.

Holly, I'm curious to know where you found the Lulu magazine. Thanks!

The one on the left is the April issue and the one on the right is the May issue. May just came out on the newstand yesterday.

My closet, although much wider, has on one side shelves behind the hanging clothes. I would suggest that you shelve the whole back of the closet and put sheets and towels and out of season clothes in the back and keep the front hanging rod for clothes you currently wear. I prefer solid shelves and you could probably get them cut and put them up yourself. Maybe you could even buy a cheap bookcase from Ikea. I know you would have to squeeze through the hanging clothes to get to the back shelves but you probably wouldn't have to very often. You could then store your shoes and accessories in plastic containers and maybe get a rolling cart for them so you can roll it out of the way. I would also make a curtain or see if your landlord will install a door. A door would be helpful so you could install hooks for coats and other often used items and keep out the dog.
