Closet Planning

So we're on the brink of moving.  We are attacking it tomorrow.  It's a few days later than planned but that's how those things often go.  I'm planning a lot of before and after pics soon and as I go along (I plan on decorating this place to my hearts content).  It's a little house, very little.  In fact it has zero closets.  I've been spending a lot of time trying to plan how to handle this.  It's a two bedroom so we've decided on one room being a regular room and using the other room for closets/clothing storage among other things.  We thought about getting those enclosed closets from Walmart as they'd fit our needs but I hate the idea of buying it and using it while we're here and then having no use for it and likely just throwing it away.  So I've come up with some better ideas.  What we'll most likely do is this:
I came up with this as I've finally "defined" a decorating style that we both like: Vintage Industrial.  Just knowing this is helpful.  I can google image search all sorts of ideas and we agree on about 90% of things.  I don't know how to express how AMAZING that really is.  Anyways I google image searched vintage industrial closet storage and found this.  We agree, we both like.  But even better we can ultimately re-use them for any future retail endeavors of mine.  And they can be used to decorate in future spare rooms.  They feel like more something we'd keep and use rather than just have a temporary use.  In our searching we also found this idea...
We really like this idea too but I doubt we'll make it.  It's just too simple to do the other one.  But I thought I'd still share the idea.  

Initially I thought I'd want just one large rolling rack but I've decided it'd be more aesthetically pleasing to do two smaller ones and go with a his and hers idea.  I love the aged wood on the bottom you can stack shoes on.  There are tons of variations you can do with switching up different pipe fittings or adding more wooden shelves, for now the plan is just a basic rolling rack like the picture but it won't be too challenging to switch it up later.  Cool right?  I'm ready to run with it, too bad we're right in this packing/moving business.
