LeToya Luckett Converts Playroom to Walk-In Closet

LeToya Luckett built her Texas home with her kids in mind.

Four years later, she’s finally making a space of her own.

The singer recently converted what had been a playroom into a custom walk-in closet, swapping toy bins and play mats for a vanity with a back-lit mirror and enough storage for her full wardrobe. The project, completed with California Closets Houston and professional organizer Lauryn Hill of The Order Project, gave her a dedicated dressing room for her styling routine.

She designed the home after her divorce, building it around her then-3-year-old daughter Gianna and then-2-year-old son Tysun. A playroom felt right at the time — a central spot for them to spread out and play.

But kids grow up.

Toys migrated to Gianna and Tysun’s bedrooms, and the shared area became a catch-all.

Her first closet space had stopped working, too.

It had outgrown its role. The timing made sense: one room needed a fresh purpose, and she needed space for her clothes and getting ready each day.

Fitting a Vision Into Four Walls

The design centered on glam. Luckett didn’t have a proper spot for beauty prep or wardrobe organization, and she needed one that could handle getting dressed. The goal was to merge the wardrobe side with a beauty area in a single room.

She came in with clear ideas.

The team at California Closets Houston handled the execution, translating her preferences into a layout that worked with the room’s dimensions. A central requirement was incorporating a large back-lit mirror she already owned. Ashley Lithgoe, a sales manager at the company, said they designed organized storage around that piece. According to Lithgoe, Luckett wanted to get dressed completely in that space and make it her own. “She got her vanity, and the overall space is functional yet highly personalized for her specific needs and style,” Lithgoe said.

Two cozy chairs sit in the closet with a small end table between them, hinting at its broader purpose — Luckett wanted it comfortable enough for long sessions with her glam squad or quiet time alone.

Gianna and Tysun have their own rooms now.

They’re not heading off to college anytime soon, but they no longer need that shared area. It did its job for a few years of toddler life — building blocks and dress-up and all the rest. Now the closet serves a different role, built around one person’s routine instead of the children’s playtime.

For Luckett, the change wasn’t about putting herself first at her children’s expense. Their needs had simply moved on, and the square footage was available for something new.

“Your environment matters,” she said back in 2022. That part hasn’t changed. It just looks a whole lot different these days.
