Master Closet Reveal

It's only been about 6 months, but I'm back and ready to share about our life. 

The first thing we did when we got the keys to the split-level is start demo on the master bedroom closet. We were in such a hurry to demo, I forgot to take better before pics. These are post-demo before pictures.

 As you can see there was only a rod going across the back wall and on the right side. That's it!

We researched what closet system we wanted and asked for gift cards for Christmas (because closet systems are pricey). We settled on the Martha Stewart closet system available at Home Depot. Our closet is a walk-in by late 50's-early 60's standards and is the largest closet we have had since moving to Birmingham. However, it doesn't hold a candle to the walk-in's in our other two homes. We had to maximize the space from floor to ceiling. We custom designed our closet online and told us which parts to buy. Keith had to cut some shelves. It wasn't an easy project, but it definitely was worth it!

 Top hanging rod is Keith's shirts, blazers and pullovers. At the very top is where is keep shoes we don't wear often (high heels, dress shoes, etc.) as well as my purses not currently in use.

The baskets are from Target and hold my scarves, gloves, hats and clutches. The shelves below are my shoes. The other set of shelves are for Keith's shoes.

Those are my dresses hanging under Keith's shoes. You can also see our sweaters folded and pants hanging under my shoes. I also painted the closet Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige. It's almost a joke home much I use that color. It just works when you don't know what else to do.

One last thing, I store flip flops and flats in a Wal-Mart basket on the floor. I have some ideas for hanging jewelry in here as well, so the closet isn't finished yet. But that's the joy of home ownership. Your rooms are always evolving!

It feels so good to be back!
