Sigh.
39 feet of 1"x2"and 38 feet of 1"x10"...a box of wood screws and a little bit of paint is all that's needed for this project!
I cut the 1x2 myself, but I figured the sizes of the shelves ahead of time to save time and energy for Greg....since I'm still a bit skittish of the miter saw. Lowe's cut them all for less than $2.00
Here is the before...which was usable, but a typical jumbled mess.
Once I pulled everything out, I realized the boards used to make these shelves were definitely an afterthought as the boards were seriously warped. I ripped everything off the walls, spackled, sanded and painted the inside the same color as our master bedroom. (I don't think I've done a post on the bedroom come to think of it!) I love a clean, fresh palatte!
I found a can of oops paint (of course). It was suggested by my sister to use a dark color for the shelves...since they are shoes and sometimes shoes are dirty :) Great suggestion!
Here's the final product of the closet...I didn't leave much room to grow...so I suppose I can either add a few shelves OR get rid of some shoes!
What's that? Why do I have hair styling things in my shoe closet? OK, so my side of the vanity doesn't have an outlet. Seriously. So, I do my hair here. The plan is to hang a styling tool holder here from Sally's....I just need to go get it! Most worn necklaces and bracelets can go here too!
Finally, a few dollars from ACE for a brace and about $10 from Lowe's for door pulls that match the vanity...I converted these ridiculous folding doors to French Doors. LOVE them. Folding doors are a waste of space. IMHO. French doors make the closet look bigger AND they provide hanging space on the back of each door. (No I'm not a genius, I saw this idea on a small apartment living blog....)
Now, I can hang some scarves or belts on the back of these doors!!
What 'cha think??
