Those who followed Sex and the City through all its episodes and movies know that there was a fourth love for Carrie Bradshaw beyond Aidan, the Russian “lovah” and Mr. Big: closets. We saw Bradshaw obsessively purchase Manolo Blahniks only to become the old woman who lived in her shoes, we witnessed the giddiness of the “take or toss” party as she resurrected decades old fashion, we saw Big build a dream closet for heaven on Fifth and, just when we thought all hope was lost, we saw love bloom again … in a closet, no less. Here’s our take on Carrie Bradshaw-worthy closets in the Houston area.
Colleen Phalen with John Daugherty REALTORS recently listed this stunning custom Mediterranean home in River Oaks at 1929 Sharp Place in the 77019 zip code for $2.8 million dollars. This closet was transformed to look like a boutique, and the packing island even comes with SubZero beverage drawers for champagne toasts with your besties.
