Given all of the above, it was decided eliminating the traditional rods and replacing them with a retail face-out rod would work well for us. And it does! Our little walk-in has a neat boutique look to it and I have preassembled outfits for the day which can easily be reassembled into a different look, if wanted. The man clothes have the pants with a coordinating shirt. No more yelling from the closet.
You are probably wondering where the shoes are? Since we have downsized linen needs (extra towels, sheets), the traditional linen closet located in the master bath is now a shoe closet. There are more rods are either side of the closet that you can't see in the photos, but you get the general idea.
The husband installed track lighting with each light pointing to a particular rod. Looks very much like an upscale little shop.
There are still a few adjustments needed like cuter hooks for purses, repainting and more stylish baseboards; but I am so excited about the new function of our master closet I had to share.
