    I'm awaiting to see what I inherit of my dear departed grandparents furniture before I take the next step, but I've been giving consideration to locating a nice Armoire & line the closet space (& drawers) with Red /Spanish Cedar where I can hang my kilts & any woolen items (jackets, vests, caps) and utilize the drawers for storage of hose, garters, sporrans, belts, etc etc.
    You get the idea
    There-by (finally) keeping everything together so I'm not hunting all over for it & also protecting it from the elements (moths etc).

    I look forward to seeing photos of your completed project

    Even a cedar chest turned on it's side with small legs of some sort might work if it had a hanger rod instaled at the top.

    All I'm going to do is make a strip of wood panel or something with pegboard holes drilled in it, then screwed to the wall. Not much to look at.

    I used to have a rolling clothes rack, but it got bent up. Everything here has to be movable and wheels are always helpful for that.

    Good luck with your project.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I don't have wheels on mine, but since we only have 1 closet in our room, that my wife took, I had a store bought clothes rod thing that kept falling on me. I finally took my income tax money and went to Home Depot and bought some I believe 1/2" pipe about 6' long, 2 pieces about 4' long, connectors, and a few similar metal parts, and put them together to make a big 'closet' next to the bed, which is really stable, and holds all my shirts, pants, shorts, and after I assemble more clip hangers, both of my kilts. (1 is up there now, but the new one doesn't even have the shipping cord cut out yet.)

    Granted, no cedar or mothballs, but its in the 'open air' if that helps. And my son can help decide what shirt to wear, without pulling down my entire wardrobe with it. (He like to pick out clothes some times.)

    Ya, I think I need to do something too. *Sigh* I have some clothes hanging in there that could probably be folded and stored in drawers and so on; it's just easier to go through them if they are hanging.
