So Many Clothes, So Little Space

Well I moved into my very first apartment last week! I'm an incoming junior now, and as an upperclassman I get to leave my dorm days behind me and move on to bigger and better things, like my AWESOME apartment. So, the living room carpet is this terrible burgundy color and the cabinets are too low to put the microwave on the counter, buttttttt the point is that now I have a living room! I have a kitchen! With cabinets! Not to mention, my walls are made of [whatever walls are made of...] and not cinderblock, which is totally a plus.
So now that I'm in this spacious dwelling there is a lot more room for my do dads. What I'm lacking, however, is armoire space. My closet is pretty large, but I only have 4 small drawers for my folded clothes, socks, underwear, ect. Not cool. Well, fear not for my excess clothing; I'm officially a carpenter! I'm sure the cynics would beg to differ, but anything with "Assembly Required" on the box is going to take some serious carpentry skill, which, it turns out, I have.
Here is the obnoxious space above my drawers:

I recognize it's for a TV, but a) it's for a huge clunky tv from the age of VCRs, and b) I don't have a TV. So the space must be otherwise utilized.

So I went to Target. 

I bought this 2 drawer chest thing that had the perfect dimensions to fit in this stupid nook. It holds my loungewear, bras, and underwear. In addition, I put a mirrored shadowbox on top:

Not only does it look wayyyy better, but I literally didn't have a place for the rest of my clothes, and now I do! The mirror is also conveniently my height so it's perfect for last minute self-checks!

Until your time again finds mine,
