Do you ever get an idea on how to fix something in your home and then spend the next two days making it a reality? I do! All the time, it is one of my most annoying traits according to Brent. On Saturday, Brent and I were done with the frustration that is our closet. It isn't huge, so Brent had to keep his work clothes in the guest room closet. I was over it which gave me the idea to change it up.
Here is the before... YiKeS!!!!
Harper loves to rearrange the shoes for us, so they are ALL OVER.
There is little hope our shoes will ever look better no matter how we rearrange anything.
Brent gets annoyed with my idea because he inevitably has to do some/most of the heavy lifting. This job was no exception.
Harper was willing to help, as always.
My job was to keep the work that Harper does from being totally counter-productive.
Patching up holes! Harper saw Brent doing this and just HAD to take a turn...
The finished product. We moved the top shelf down and added a bar to double our hanging capacity.
Then we added shelving behind then door for pants and other misc. items.
Look at all that space! Brent's work clothes, regular clothes and my clothes with room to spare!
Suits take up sooo much room!
Pants storage! Please note: I am not a neat freak and these shelves will never look this nice again, and I am perfectly aware they are not magazine ready in this picture.
The bin at the top is our swim bucket.
The one thing we don't have is a great place for my dresses, but by putting them at the end they can either hang over the shelf or fall on top of it.
After a bright idea, $85.00 and more time than expected, we now have a closet that stores my clothes, Brent's clothes and everything else we need it too.
I wonder when my next brilliant idea will come!
P.S. I wrote this months ago and my next bright idea did come... NEW BEDROOM SET!!! Expect a post to
