I really liked the colors on this hatbox, so I painted the walls "Jamaica Bay", which is kind of light turquoise, and then I painted all the shelves black.
I'm not done organizing yet, but so far, everything fits.

The closet also has a weird little "secret" passage. There's a tiny door that comes out in a built-in bookshelf in the living room area. We're storing our luggage in there, and I'm going to put up a curtain to cover it up.
