STORAGE, STORAGE, STORAGE... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STORAGE !

Now that "Le Bath" is finished... on to the craftroom closet! This is the outside of the closet door in my Mixed Media room, it functions well... The inside is another story.....

Clothes, vacume cleaner, Pack-n-Play, left over curtain rods.... How crazy is this!!!...It was a rainy Saturday and I just mentioned I would like shelves in this closet for storing dishes ...2 hours later I had this....I know, I'm spoiled...but I love it, we work well together...


Seriously...is this not wonderful!!!....


All organized, ( I'm still putting things in there)...

Even room for extra pillows above....
and guest pillows and blankets below... You gotta love that man...xoxo~Kathy.

  8. He does sound like a wonderful guy, Kathy!! The closet is great and your dishes are cute. This gives me ideas. I have a closet in my hall just outside the kitchen. Hmmmm... but where to put everything that is already IN the closet and where do I hire someone to build the shelves??!!

  9. You girls are all so sweet and funny.... I put the vacume where it belongs in another closet, and all the clothes in a clothing closet, ( where they should have been in the first place). I needed to clean that one out first to get the clothes in...Ha! so a lot of organizing done!!! Yeah. I called all my children and asked if we needed a Pack-play since rescently the last two little ones are now in Big Boy beds....sigh, If anyone knows how to keep that from happening let me know! I just redistributed the junk I think! and Yes he is for hire, you'll just have to pay the air fare, Ha! Not looking so good now is it!!!, Ha! and...The shelves were all done in 2 hours, then I painted them. The dishes were in before I went to bed, don't ask what time that was... thank you for your dear thoughts and comments, xoxo~Kathy ....a closet outside? amazing....

  11. Kathy, you are SO lucky!!! i have been asking for shelves in my upstairs bathroom closet for such a long time...my house has very limited storage space and shelves would be a life saver...when your hubby is finished doing work for blushing rose, you can send him my way...LOL...

  18. Great organizing! I am dying to make our front all coat closet into a china storage cabinet. It's on my "to do" list ... after I finish the kitchen, office and upstairs bathroom.

  19. Hi, Kathy -
    Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog - and now I've found yours! I love what I see here and I'll be back often. Your closet redo is fantastic and you've just given me the answer to need I have! I have a HUGE closet at the end of my hallway and it's not being used well. I'm anxious to begin redoing it. I can't wait to get it all together and share it with you. I asked for advice just a few days ago on my blog and now you've given me the answer! It was 'right under my nose' all the time. Thank you, my new friend. ~Adrienne~
