Closet Heaven

I, like many others, love Pinterest. I have approximately 100 DIY projects that I'm anxious to start and about 3 that I've successfully finished. I'm aware that 3/100 is not a very good completion rate... BUT every time I successfully finish a project, it makes me more anxious to start the next. A lot of "pins" have inspired the projects and design for Tyler's house. The house has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Eventually, there will be 2 of us in the house, so why would we need 3 bedrooms? That, my friends, is a great question. We will use one for a master, one for a guest room, and why not turn the third room into a walk-in closet?! With a little bit of convincing (less than I anticipated) Tyler agreed. So I started by "pinning" some ideal closet ideas:

Awesome: Yes. Realistic: Unfortunately, no. :) 

Once I came to terms with the fact that I do not have limitless money, or limitless space, I started thinking more logically. I began to brainstorm on how to maximize space and best organize all of my "stuff". We decided the first step was to install shelving and rods for hanging clothes. My dad is a contractor which comes in handy. He and Tyler went to the hardware store, and within a few hours, the blank room looked like this:

No, it's not a designer closet, but it's definitely a start. My next feat was to organize my scarves. I have to preface this by saying that I love scarves. Winter scarves, summer scarves, bright scarves....I love them all. Because I do love them and wear them quite often, I've collected quite a few. There are a lot of different ways to organize them, but I decided to utilize the space behind the door since it couldn't really be used for anything else. I found a Pinterest idea and went to work. Here is what I purchased for the project:

Shower Hooks (Again I went very basic, there are all kinds of options
but I found these at Walmart in a pack of 10 for $2.00)

2 Towel Bars (Any bar will work, the whole closet is white so I went with a basic, white towel bar that I found at Target)

Tyler installed the towel bars behind the door and I attached the shower curtain hooks. Now I can say that I've successfully completed 4 Pinterest projects and I have a solid start on the closet. Here is the finished product:

Ta Da!

Until next time...
