Closet Befores and Afters:))

During the closet redo...the room was trashed. I had to take everything out of the closet and organize as I went. Threw out about 1 garbage bag of stuff. This is the worst part of it all, but what makes me go faster. hate this stage!

AFTER!!  I think it turned out so NICE! Was able to put the left leaf of the sewing cabinet down and moved all that
was under the leaf (about 7 s'book bags etc) to the closet!! Tried to put risers under the bed and raise it up to fit my
massage table underneath ( the big massive black case-looking thing to the left of the sewing cabinet), but to NO AVAIL. I was so ticked and sweating profusely wrestling the mattress and boxspring. ugh. so still gotta figure out
where to put the massage table. can't put it in the heat in the garage:(

Xtra bedroom closet before. had gotten pretty bad. Just nowhere to put stuff so no
matter how often i shoveled it out, it all just kept getting piled up. UGH!

Randall installing the last of the shelves. He
busted these out in about an hour. He's done
one or two before;)

Better view of new lower hanging rack w/ shelf
and the side shelves. Love the wraparound effect:)

AFTER...hard to see it all, but he added another lower shelf w/ hanging rack, and 3 shelves
either side for more storage! It's perfect!!! Still looks a bit dishevled, but a little of that
will be the norm. looking at all my gift bags to regift, tissue paper and all my stationary. Then
the 4 drawer (white) cart that used to be under my sewing cabinet:) so glad it all fit. My honey
knows how to make me happy:)

One of the sides in the xtra closet. Fit ALL my s'booking bags and paper, and all my empty
photo albums, then my dolls and queen blow up air bed on the bottom!! thought this side
looked rather neat and tidy.

So, spent the last 3 days getting this all done. It was a big undertaking, but alot was overdue and the rest needed to be done so i can stay sane while homeschooling E. had more school stuff than i thought, so it turned out really nice, considering all the STUFF i have. insanity. so let me see if i can post these pics:) this just makes me so happy. i can't stop opening the doors and just staring w/ a grin on my face!

Hall linen closet BEFORE...oh man. just a wide variety of odds n ends. Massage stuff, sheets,
board games, holiday stuff. All of this minus the board games shifted into the xtra room closet:)

During...oh man. i had no idea what all i even had. Just chaos!! So glad it's done now:)

Almost done!! Did go back to Target today to get more of the colorful magazine
holders for their books and s'more labels, so it looks even better now! I just LOVE it.

Finally, All DONE!!! Love it! They ran outta my star labels but got some w/ stars,
smiley's and hearts instead. thought they matched rather nicely. Yes, i need a gold star.
I'm very fond of my handywork. Now, if i can just teach my kid some stuff, we'll be golden:)
