Last week we had our master bedroom closet
redone with California Closets. I wanted to show
you the before and after! We're really happy with
how it turned out! Here's what we had before....
a long L shaped closet with sliding doors.
Before they came we took everything out, removed
the old racks, filled the holes and gave the
walls a fresh coat of paint.
It took the installer about three hours to
make it look like this. Of course, this is after
a consultant comes for a visit and plans out
what you need with how much you want
to spend and all that kind of stuff.
Have to say, we were happy that we cleaned out
what we didn't need, didn't wear and what didn't fit
a month earlier. Now the only things in there are
the current style, things that fit and things that
we wear. Nothing is crammed in, hard to find
or lost in a pile of old things we don't wear anymore.
I think my favorite part is my shoes!
My shoes have never been so organized! haha.
The consultant had suggested I line my boots up
on the floor in the corner of the L, but I
love the fact that nothing is on the floor and
moved all my boots to the coat closet.
We liked the open look so much and how it made
it feel more like a dressing area attached to the
bathroom to the right, that we decided not
to put the sliding doors back on.
It's also great incentive to keep
it nice and tidy. So far so good!
As I'm typing this, our contractors are
installing the new flooring in our living room.
Bathroom demo starts next week some time!
Smells like sawdust.
And yes, everything is covered in it.
Fun, fun!
♥
The shoes. The shoes.
ReplyDeleteTHE SHOES!!! :-D
Ah, we think alike! Any outfit is about the shoes, right? :)
DeleteI love your closet...so much more efficient. I am wanting to do that to my closet!! I have a lot of wasted space.
ReplyDeleteWe had a lot of wasted space, too. And a lot of stuff thrown on the floor. I think vacuuming the
Deletefloor without picking anything up is my favorite part!
Very nice and organized. How wonderful to have all of that beautiful sky shining in. By the way, lovely photo of you on your new winter header.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we have that skylight because there aren't any lights in the closet. Isn't that weird? No closet lights. Nobody to blame but us since we built the house. lol.
DeleteWe don't have any lights in our teeny closet either. We put in one of those "push on" lights, it actually does help!
Deletewow it looks amazing,, I was laughing to myself as I was admiring it though,, I wouldn't even fill a fifth of it,, I have so few clothes and shoes, lol,, I guess its the minimalist in me lol,,, Looks wonderful,, it will be worth all the bother and dust!!Renovations are always such a nuisance but when completed all is worth while!I hope your health is improving Betsy, I have kept you in my thoughts and prayers,,
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie! I come from a long line of hoarders and I've been narrowing my belongings for years now, so this looks minimal to me! haha. We were at a Christmas party last month and someone said they had 48 pairs of shoes and thought that was so few for a woman. I have less than half that so I guess I'm doing alright. lol. Now for the rest of the house...hahaha...
DeleteThat looks wonderful. I love the idea of getting rid of the doors once it is all so well done. I bet the kitties are finding good hiding places in there. It must be exciting there with all the fun stuff happening. Taria
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly enough the kitties haven't been in there! I think they preferred it dark and with doors. haha. Yes, it is exciting...well, the dust and noise isn't but the transformation part is wonderful! haha.
DeleteHi Betsy - nothing like a freshen up with a new look. Stunning and long may it all look so tidy ... and I'm so looking forward to seeing the next renovating bits ... enjoy it all - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThe Mister has promised to keep his part tidy so we shall see. haha. :)
DeleteYour closet looks so nice,very organized lovely
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteSawdust everywhere would sure rile up my ocd
ReplyDeleteBut that is now nice and tidy as can be
Being up off the floor is a win
Unless some kitties decide to move in
Then things may go kerplunk
Or just clunk
Have to live with the sawdust mess for a couple of months yet
Deletebut it will be worth it in the long run I bet.
The carpet in the living room is now gone
Which makes me sing a happy song. lol.
Looks nice! BTW what's a lot of shoes Betsy!
ReplyDeleteMy closet is a mess, I hope to order by autumn!! these days are crazy!
You are having loving warm summer days!
DeleteWe are FREEZING here. haha.
yes hot time. But my favorite time is Fall/winter :)
DeleteI like your new closet! =) Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It sure is more organized.
DeleteAnd it feels good to have all the clutter removed.
Now to the rest of the house. haha.
It looks just wonderful... Love your shoes, but this old gal can't wear the "high" heels anymore. Pretty much stick to wedges and boots. LOVE boots.
ReplyDeleteThe shelves and baskets are wonderful. Yeah....I'm loving your new look.
I do love my boots, too! And it sure is boot weather here! haha.
DeleteWe are in the negative digits with snow on the ground. But with blue sky
and sun it sure is beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful! I love the tidy look and how everything has its very own space. I know you will love your new floor in the living room as well. It should help cut down on those migraines some, too. Continuing to pray for your health. xx
ReplyDeleteWe moved furniture back in the living room last night. The change is amazing! haha.
DeleteIt does look fresh and clean. When the bathroom renos are done we can say that we
have replaced the floors in the entire house in the last 4 months! Nice and fresh!
I love it! Everything has a place, and I agree that it looks like a dressing room this way.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the rest of the renovations!
The bathrooms start next week. I'm thinking it shouldn't be as bad as a kitchen reno.
DeleteHopefully. haha.
A great job..I can see you enjoying this!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a neat and tidy space. haha. I love it every time I lay
Deleteeyes on it.
Food for thought...for sure!!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic...
enjoy...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Ooh, closet envy here!
ReplyDeleteQuite a difference!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful. I need to reevaluate what we have now.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous...so neat and tidy. New floors I am so envious...we need them so badly but the wallet just isn't cooperating.
ReplyDeleteLove your shoes but those "high" heels would never work for gimpy me...sure wish they did. I can't wait to see the next installment of renos..
Looks like you are a centipede with all those shoes . . . lol. Poor Mister with just room for a few . . . Love the red high heels . . . they definitely do something for me . . . . lol :)
ReplyDeleteA definite improvement but I think I would have put the doors back on . . . but see what you mean too about the open look.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the reno . . .
