Girls' closet customed!





I have wanted to "do" the girls' closet since the day we moved in. I think I have a pet peeve of wasted space, and this closet fit that to a T. 

After my dad helped me with the master closet during Thanksgiving break, I was confident I could do this. 

I sketched a layout on easyclosets.com and then fine tuned it from there. (By the way, easy closets would have cost me $375) for the same layout. 

 And, I am happy to report, I did it ALL. By. Myself! (Minus two cuts Dan made with the circular saw, since I was scared...but I got brave and did the rest of the cuts myself.) So invigorating! BRING on the projects! :)

Anyway....


This is what I started with:

B.O.R.I.N.G.

It took about 5-6 hours and cost me only about $50, since we had some leftover wood from the master closet. I reused the bar, the wood cleat, and the shelf from the original closet. I just chopped them up, and put them in different places.





Here is the closet finished. I have some major touch up work to do inside (as I had a few "learning experiences") but I LOVE how it turned out!




And here it is with all the "stuff" put back in. SEE all that EMPTY space?! YaY!
