Closet Makeovers
When Chris and I moved into our house, everything had been remodeled. The floors,the counter tops, cabinets, light fixtures, paint-EVERYTHING. And coming from a house where all we did was home improvement projects, this was a relief. We wanted to move into a house that was ready; ready for us and everyday life. Not one that would be great "if only" it had new paint, or "if only" it had new carpet. We were expecting a baby quite soon(as it turned out alot sooner than we had expected), and everything had to be ready and liveable NOW. And it was, for the most part. The only thing that hadn't been remodeled was the closets. At that time it wasn't a big deal-we had a few shelves and a place to hang our clothes and that was fine with me. Now, a year and a half later, it wasn't fine with me anymore. Things were cluttered and unorganized. I felt like things/clothes were sitting on top of things/clothes because there was only one shelf, or one rod-so we decided to fix it. We turned THIS:
Into THIS:
(I figured you didn't need another picture of all my crap/clothes in there. But you can only imagine that it was a HUGE improvement from before.)Chris did a fantastic job and I am beyond excited about it.
Cody had a great time playing IN all of our shoes while the remodeling was going on.
While Chris was busy doing our master bedroom closet, I was redoing or improving the play room closet. The owners before had a wire organizer in the closet, which I do not object to. However, when we moved in, they took the wire organizer with them, and left all the drywall hooks, nails, and anchors in the wall. As much as I would have loved to just go out and buy a new wire organizer to the exact measurements they had each individual shelf, they are so expensive. So I chose to just fix it up and add some simple changes. And I turned THIS:
Into THIS:
(I'm sparing you this boring pictures of us taping and spackling and sanding and painting and drilling,etc. In the end, all that matters is the Before and After shots right? Originally I was planning on putting the closet doors back on, but due to a large part of them being "jimmy rigged" into place before I took them off, made it nearly impossible to put them back on. It's the play room, they don't need closet doors.
Now onto the next project, Clay's room. He wants dark blue on his walls and in his closet...I don't know about DARK blue, but I'm sure we can come to some kind of an agreement.
