Closet Case

My side of the closet

Darryl's side, plus the shelves at the back we share

Tom has spent the last few days holed up in his workshop and today we got to see the fruits of his labor. Suddenly we have the most beautiful closets in our master bedroom. Each shelf, each rail, each piece of molding looks perfect. And the best part is, soon it will be full of clothes! Tom did a great job taking my idea and making it a reality. I had found several photos of closets on the internet and shared a few with him. We talked about finish and height and utility. Darryl just sort of stood by and nodded. He figured he was out of his league at that point! Now that it's done, I think he realizes we actually knew what we were doing.

I like the shelf on top that goes all around the closet

Big shelves for big storage

Not only is this closet finished, but so is the one in the spare bedroom and the linen closet in the new hallway. We plan on using the one in the spare room for a few of our coats, plus we built in a space for storage boxes. You know, those things that you hardly ever need but when you do, you want them close at hand. That's why the shelves are so big. Just enough room for one of those big Rubbermaid tubs. I'm also planning on keeping all my craft supplies in there. It would be nice if I could use that spare room as a room to work in from time to time. The yellow walls just make me smile every time I step in.

Now I'm anxious to get the rooms set up. We can't officially "take occupancy" until after we have passed the final inspection. In the meantime we wait and dream.

Already filled with bed linens

Yes, the duster will be replaced by books . . .
