Back when I was single, married women would often tell me that once I get married, it is imperative that I still have my own space, literally and figuratively. Never sacrifice the space for your clothes, shoes, bags and vanities. You must always remain a single woman, in terms of closet space. I wish I had paid attention to that advice when I do get married. Five years into my marriage, there is still no space for “my stuff”. It has always been relegated to the bottom of the list because of “baby” stuff and “other” stuff. When I watched Sex and the City 2, I understood the impact of having a his and her space, in terms of bathroom and dressing rooms. Once we get our own home, I will make sure that I will include a dressing room in our house floor plan. And I wouldn’t mind if it is as small as the one Carrie Bradshaw had when she was still single.

I went through the home plans at HousePlansandMore.com and the first thing I filtered for was a dressing room and a big walk-in closet. There really are great homes plans on this website, and you can search by house style(classic, contemporary, ranch, etc) or a house feature that you like. In my case I searched for a house plan that had a dressing room!
