Closet Re-do!!

Oh yeah. I'm pretty much the worst blogger ever. But I have been working on so many projects it's unreal. I'm gonna show you the closet re-do, or at least the re-do in it's current state.

But first, I want to give a shout-out to StarrParnell (find her Facebook page here and her Etsy site here) who is doing an awesome giveaway, ending tomorrow! Go like her Facebook and Etsy pages, then write on her StarrParnell page that I sent you and we can both get entered into the give-away. Her stuff is super cute and you should totally check it out!

An update on my location:
I mentioned in my last post that I was moving back to Montgomery. Well, I'm here and trying to get settled. I am working at a doctor's office and LOVING it! I get to see some great people and my co-workers are just awesome! I also started singing in the choir at Frazier and am working on the Junior Miss committee (not sure what I'll be doing but I'll give an update on that later). I also plan on auditioning for some local community theatre shows in the near future.

So now on to the re-do. My room at my parent's house is great...but there isn't a lot of storage, and the closet is TINY. So what's a clothes horse to do? RE-do, of course! I had to come up with a solution that was easy, cheap, and space effective.

Here's some before shots of the closet. For those who are faint of heart, you may not want to look at this one.




 Scary, right? The years of accumulation of unwanted but not throw-away-able stuff was ridiculous. But it is all gone now!!  Next we have in-progress shots once all the crap was out.



And now with everything cleared out and the racks hung by my super manly/handy boyfriend.



And now the (almost) finished project. And yes, it is color-coded. Get over it!



I still want to hang some sort of curtain over the closet (that I will mirror over the soon-to-be re-done built in desk), but that's a ways off.

I got all the supplies from Home Depot-its the Closet Maid system that you can mix and match and cut to any length you want. I started by measuring the closet. Then I went to Home Depot and got all the parts. Then, to make a long story short, I made my boyfriend install it because he is so much better at that kind of stuff than I am. I'm going to try to convince him to blog on here about how he did it, but we will see if that actually happens!

Up next are a few DIY projects that I'm super excited to share with you!

Until next time,
