Closet Project

As I was dropping ecards last week I came across a post about cleaning your closet. It said to start by emptying the closet then put back the things that you truly like and wear all the time. Next you start going through the rest and decide to sell at a resale shop, give to your favorite charity or toss.
Before

Totally empty


Yup….lots of room for new cloths hehe.


So that’s exactly what I did. I was showing MM after I was finished and he said “looks like you’re going shopping”. I said “yup”. I got rid of so much stuff that I don’t like and hardly ever wear – it was just taking up space. Next I have to do this with the dresser drawers. They are packed and I have nothing to wear. There’s something wrong with that.

Are you doing anything special for Spring cleaning?

Closet Is 'Mostly' Done

Back in January MM started constructing a new closet in some 'dead space' over the stairs and I wanted you to see the progress. The staining and painting have to wait til we can open some windows. This is the view from the dining room - blank wall - wall with door.




This is the view from the livingroom.







And here you have all this lovely space just waiting to be filled. Last night when MM went to use the blender he commented on how nice it was not to crawl around on the floor trying to get it out of it's previous cramped space. I still have lots of stuff to bring up from the basement. I'm gonna love this.



Who would have thought you could get good usable space without knocking out walls? And to have it in such a handy spot for me is great. I am sooo sooo lucky to have such a 'handy man'! Thanks MM for putting a smile on my face.
