Its The Closet That's Coming Out

So what's been keeping us busy for these past few days before Christmas? Not Christmas shopping or present wrapping - but impulse home renovations. You see, I've been on Bo to fix the closet so I had more hanging room... and I all thought we needed was to move the clothes bar up a few inches. Here's the empty closet before:

We realized while at Ikea with our friends how much wasted space we had in our closets - to the left, to the right and above. The interior ceiling cut off where the molding did on the outside. We found out quickly that this was original to the house - when we uncovered lath, brick, and old electric. Here's the closet during demo:

And fast forward past the cleaning and the dust to the beautiful new after!!We love the frosted doors, so even if they are much more modern than the rest of our stuff, we're still happy we chose them.

Here's the "hers" side of the closet - the his isn't quite ready for show yet.

It was a pricey impulse buy (which I'm claiming was a Christmas present to ourselves), but now I can free up the front bedroom closet, and actually get dressed in my own room. Imagine that! We still need to figure out where to put the laundry baskets, but one project at a time, right?
