MORE....closet space, that is.

So, I live in an old house.  Not 100 years old, but around 50.   It's a great house for the most part, in a safe area with a large yard and hardwood floors.  It does have its drawbacks, though.


I'm sure that at the time it was built, it was considered to have pretty good closet space.   Nowadays, not so much.  All of the closets in my house are reach-in closets with a single bar and one or two wooden shelves above the bar.   None of the closets have been updated since the early 1960s.


Until now!!!!

Yes,  I got the "I am sick of staring at this thing" bug again.  I was tired of struggling with my closet every time I opened it.

Here is what it looked like before (doors removed)

During:

And after:

Can you believe how much more space we have!!?  The after picture has 85% of the same stuff as the before picture.  I took the time to find other homes for the strange things that had accumulated there, like a sitz bath and a meat grinder  (err...it's crazy how those elves move things around my house....darn elves!)

We were able to get this project done in a day.

As a part of this project, I added the following things to my house:

Closetmaid shelf set
Set of drill bits
24-inch level
3 Fabric cubes

All of them were needed, but they still count, so I will have to go through and get rid of some stuff.  I also bought a cookbook (eek....see this post   but I have REALLY wanted this one cookbook FOREVER) and a movie for my son.  That will be another post because this chica is tired.
