Luxurious Closet Makeover

In two weeks the ground-floor storage room became a custom dressing room closet and stylist’s studio, plus a space for overnight guests.

When Alison Deyette first purchased her 1960 midcentury-modern house in Sherman Oaks, Calif., she found it difficult to imagine the ground-floor storage space could be transformed into a glamorous, storage-packed dressing room closet.

Tucked snugly beside the entry door, Alison’s sewing station can be completely partitioned off during fittings by grape-toned satin draperies.

When choosing drapery hardware for her floor-to-ceiling panels, Alison fell in love with traditional rods, brackets and rings in a polished chrome finish. The tweed fabric is pleated with a traditional pinch pleat.
