What Happened To The Coat Closet In My Florida Home?

What Happened To The Coat Closet In My Florida Home?

I don’t know what happened to the coat closet? It was probably some Architect’s great idea many years ago. Perhaps, the trend started in South Florida or Miami. After all, this is Florida who needs a coat?

It wasn’t too many years ago when you had to be careful when you purchased a Florida car as it usually came without a heater. It was a lesson you learned the hard way when it turned cold in New York and found out you car didn’t have one.

There’s an old Florida joke, you can tell what year somebody moved to Florida by the age of their winter coat! There may be some truth to that saying but Floridians still wear coats, jackets and lots of sweaters in the winter.

My point, if a coat closet is something you want built into your Orlando custom home, you have to ask for one as they are not standard equipment. Perhaps, it’s better located in the area between the garage and the kitchen rather than by the front door since that’s the area that receives the most traffic.
