No, we’re not off to Narnia, well not yet anyway. But finding a wardrobe with enough space to keep everything –whilst still being able to close the doors – well, that might require a bit of magic. However organised we are, and however strict with our purchases, wardrobe storage never seems to be quite big enough.
