The use of "closet" for "toilet" dates back to 1662
Related forms include earth closet and water closet (W.C. or flush toilet). "Privy" meaning an outhouse derives from "private", making the connection with the Middle English use of "closet" !!!!!
I am trying to think what Linda is meaning ... Closet as in our Walk in Wardrobe or just a normal built in wardrobe !!! In our house in Perth, in the main bedroom we had a walk in wardrobe. It was great but it was a big house. The second big bedroom had a Built IN Wardrobe, the other 2 bedrooms did not have any.
Here we did not have any wardrobes in the 2 bedrooms, but in the spare bedroom room I bought a small free standing wardrobe to hang up some clothes and to pile excess stuff in the bottom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
