Name: Steven Schwartz and Jennifer Sarkilahti
Hood: East 80's - One Bedroom
The Pitch:
One man and one woman take in stray clothing, shoes, and accessories like stray animals and are forced to share one teensy awkward closet. The closet is tall, narrow, and set at an irrational angle to the rest of the room with strange plastic doors that look worse when closed than when exposing the jumble inside.
Entire bedroom where the closet resides was once a closet itself and queen bed had to be squeezed into the space, leaving no room for a dresser and requiring everything to go in the closet.
It's the only closet in the apartment so it also holds luggage, spare chairs, brooms, etc. The closet is positioned at a 45 degree angle so a direct shot of the closet is pretty impossible to get.
She can't reach the shelf above the hanging rod unless standing on a chair risking life and limb, and he causes an avalanche of t-shirts when he reaches up there for his boxer shorts.
Pretty please.
Regards,
SS & JS
I like any posting that uses "irrational angle", "boxer shorts", "direct shot", "squeezed into" and "hanging rod."
Just not necessarily in that order.
That is the worst closet I have even seen. I've seen homeless people's shopping carts with more organization. Someone help these poor bastards.
The only thing missing are the feces throwing monkeys.
" ...like stray animals and are forced to share one teensy awkward closet."
I think that is against the law
Looks like a great closet... FOR ME TO POOP ON!
Looks like it is not staged like a lot of the pictures on here. I pity you.
This photo appears to be totally for real. In actuality, we think they must have cleaned the mess up!
What a mess! They definitely need professional help.
we need to look at the total bedroom space in its ex-closetness, not only the closet. time for some creative thinking about storage options. and they need to shed stuff.
You people are pigs!
I've seen it in person...it's bad. Though I think a whole other closet will have to be added to accomodate these two. And don't even get me started on the queen size bed in that tiny room.
This is pitiful--- young, educated professionals need HELP!
whatever bed you own now you must discard and build a platform bed well off the floor that incorporates intelligent use of that space below.
imagine the cubic feet between the top of the bed and the ceiling - use some of it! you are paying for a lot of dead air space otherwise. this is something so many people in tight spaces ignore.
also, a generous shelf around the perimeter of the room above head height could hold attractive baskets or containers for 'him' to reach for the boxers, or perhaps christmas decorations.
it also appears that you need to learn the fine art of folding clothes properly.

this is a terrible problem, please help these people. Personally I think the space is too small for any assistance to really help
These people need too much help for me to comment. Call my decorator immediately for space-saving/organization help!
