Closet Space-Works for me Wednesday














BEFORE












































Recently, our family had decided to renovate our office/playroom/schoolroom. This has been exciting and a lot of hard work. One of the first tasks was where to put all of our school stuff. (Do not be intimidated by the picture, I was a teacher for 5 years so I have a lot of stuff) As you can see in the picture above it was originally in bookcases in the room. It was making the room a little claustrophobic! My first job was to clean off the bookcases and sell them on craigs list and find a new home for the "stuff". We have a very nice double door closet in that room so my sweet hubby built shelves for me!! I was so excited when I saw the empty shelves in the closet. I couldn't wait to fill them up:) You can probably tell by the picture below it did not take long!



AFTER

















I do want you to know that this closet was not all nice and empty before I started:) It was completely stuffed with some of the plastic bins you can see in the AFTER picture. But it seemed full... so building the shelves allowed me to get more space out of the closet. Now, I can fit all of my plastic drawers and all the stuff on the bookshelves! So, do you have any closets that need to be maximized?
