I have not seen this furniture in person, but the brand has been highly recommended on this forum, and when I looked at it (online) I did notice they will paint the furniture (buttercream seems to be the closet to white they have). http://www.tomseelyfurniture.com/painted.html To me the Sheraton line looks like it would be cute for a little girl if painted, especially if you changed out the knobs to something she likes. They have twin beds available too. Here is a link that might be useful: Tom Seely Bedrooms

This may not be the type of information for which you're looking, but it's working for me: I have two small dressers in my walk-in closet. I bought them from someone in college for $5 each, knocked the legs off, painted them white and used them for years. When I got married, they became large nightstands. Now they're in the closet. They provide us with 8 good-sized drawers, and although they're not wonderful quality, they're hidden behind the closet door. I bought cheap wooden shoe racks from Target for roughly $10 per rack (each rack has three shelves /holds 9 pair of shoes). Again, they're not wonderful quality, but they keep things organized just as well as an expensive, custom-made item . . . and it they wear out, I can afford to throw them away. My up-top shelves are just boards that were installed by the builder, I suppose. And my hanging rods are just plain wooden rods. This is a place where I could stand some improvement: I would like to have some two-shirt high storage and more shelves for my sweaters. But it's an organization issue -- not a quality issue. I totally understand the desire to have everything well-organized -- it keeps things in good condition, and it allows you to find them quickly. That makes perfect sense. But why go custom or top-dollar on something that's hidden in a closet? Is this really a place to splurge?

I know nothing about Elfa. I have not taken a look at what Target has to offer. In our mud room, we installed Ikea PAX / KOMPLEMENT closets. They are 95 inches tall, which means we had just enough room to stand them up, once we assembled them on the floor. The height means we can hang a one-piece work jumper inside, if we wish. I like the flexibility of the Ikea closets. No drilling into the carcass of the cabinet, leaving nasty holes. I like the variety of available shelves and drawers and clothes rods and containers.

We have had two closet systems installed Closets by Design. Both times we had positive experiences with the install; just be clear whether you want it to be notched in the back for baseboard, in my opinion it looks better to remove your baseboard so it’s not notched. It’s also worth it to add the baseboard and crown, and increase the height of the system to the ceiling. The salespeople do have a “poor mentality” to make sure they get the sale so you really have to push to add these extras. We are pretty handy, so the third closet system we did ourselves using Menard’s Dakota system for a third of the cost or less. It looks as nice and sturdy the rest.
